Visitor Visa

[filmmaker]

Hi I really need help from you guys,

I overstayed my stay after my 2015 working visa expired, I tried to apply Humanitarian to extend my stay in Canada because I am the only bread winner in the family but up to this time no answer from CIC so I decided to go back home this March.

My question is I have a Canadian Citizen child who stayed in the Phillipines and his Dad is here in Canada, when I go home is it possible to apply for a Visitor Visa to accompany my son if he would like to visit his Dad here in Canada?

When did you leave Canada? March 2018?

If so, then I would say the chances of a TRV are nil between the overstay and the H&C application. You'll want to remain outside of Canada for a number of years before you try to apply to re-enter.

Yes I will be leaving this coming March, but is it possible to apply? Do you have any idea how long before ai can apply for a TRV?

It’s certainly possible to apply. However the chances of refusal will be extremely high. Recommend you remain outside of Canada for 3-5 years and establish strong ties before applying for the TRV.

Even if I will accompany my Canadian Citizen child to visit his dad? There is still a high risk of refusal?

Yes - there's still an extremely high risk of refusal. The fact you are accompanying a Canadian citizen child is largely irrelevant. IRCC will assess the application based on your profile. The fact you overstayed in Canada for such a long time and applied for H&C will demonstrate that you have an interest in remaining in Canada long term and will make IRCC concerned that you are not a genuine visitor.
