Hi
Today I got notified that my visitor visa application has been rejected with the following reasons:
Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada. I have reviewed your temporary resident visa (visitor visa) application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the requirements for a visitor visa (
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (
https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (
https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/index.html). I am refusing your application.
- I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
- Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
- The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.
Below are my details:
Purpose of visit: Drop off an elderly family friend who has a super visa and also visit historical places in Canada. Invitation letter from the family who are Canadian citizens. My host family also provided a notorized affidavit supporting my travel and temporary stay in Canada.
Duration of the visit mentioned in the applicaiton : 40 days.
Method of Applicaiton: Online using GC Key.
Proof of funds: Family friends showed $150K in Canadian bank deposits (savings accounts). I also showed funds in the home country bank account for $20K. My host family showed CRA Notice of Assessment for preceeding three years. Pay statements for the last six months, and employment letter from their job. My host has a high paying stable job and working for the same company in Canada for 4+years.
Ties to the home country: Has a wife and real estate business in my country of residence. My parents and other family members (brothers/sisters/wife's family etc) back home. My two brothers and their families are New Zealand citizens.
Previous travel history: Traveled to UAE & Saudi Arabia in the past. Also has business expired visas for Malaysia and China but never visted these two countries. My host family applied for GCMS notes and waiting to receive it.
So, I would really appreicate if members in this forum can help us better understand the reasons for rejection and some suggestions to address these issues if we decide to re apply.
