Hi all I'm new to this site. I reciently processed my boyfriends visa from India and it was refused. I believe I didn't include enough since I have hired a lawyer, there is so many more items I required. That being said, what's the chances he will get a visa after refusal? Is it faster the second time? We are asking for 2.5 weeks, including all documents including medical results, police reports, employment letter etc. Thanks so much!

A lawyer would only help fill in forms for a fee and nobody can really say if would improve chances of a visa as that decision remains with the visa officer. Also depends on how much experience the lawyer has with Canada immigration issues whether it could be wasted money.Thank you, what is the chances using a lawyer as appose to applying yourself, we were denied the first time but I also didn't include bank statements, a cover letter from my boyfriend coming, my mortgage ststment and salary etc...

Your mortgage, financial situation, etc are secondary. Your boyfriend must prove that he has solid reasons to return to his home country + he has the funds to pay for the visitThank you, what is the chances using a lawyer as appose to applying yourself, we were denied the first time but I also didn't include bank statements, a cover letter from my boyfriend coming, my mortgage ststment and salary etc...
Sure, I'll try to help.Dear Bryanna,

1. For how long did you want to visit? And the reason to visit?
2. Do you live with other family members? For example, your in-laws?
3. What ties can each of you demonstrate to your country of residence? For example: Employment/business/study (for your children) + property ownership/rent agreement + financial investments, etc
4. Have you, your husband and your children traveled to other countries?
Thanks for your response. He was refused for the typical reason, ties to country, funds etc.A lawyer would only help fill in forms for a fee and nobody can really say if would improve chances of a visa as that decision remains with the visa officer. Also depends on how much experience the lawyer has with Canada immigration issues whether it could be wasted money.
He has about 6500 CND dollars in his bank, 3 bank accounts and 3 investments with a total of 2000 CND in it. We are asking for 2-3 weeks stay here. His vacation period from his job is 1 month. He has a letter from his employer stating he has to be back in July. Can you suggest what else we can include?
The details and your posts are identical to those posted by 'karenr'. It would be easier to advise instead of going back-and-forth on the questions for his strong ties + finances, etcThanks for your response. He was refused for the typical reason, ties to country, funds etc.

Yes thank you, I am looking for some advice on what to do. I guess we need to build a stronger case but I am not certain on how to do that.The details and your posts are identical to those posted by 'karenr'.

My husband have Canada visa for 2010 and U.K. Visa , Italy .. for 2005 and Paris 2017 my doughter as well
Thanks again and looking forward for your help.
1. Upfront medicals and PCC will not help to build a stronger case as it indicates he wants to visit/remain long-term.Yes thank you, I am looking for some advice on what to do. I guess we need to build a stronger case but I am not certain on how to do that.
2. Does your boyfriend live with his family when he is not working on the boat?
3. Does he have a rent agreement? Or maybe own a vehicle? Or has he taken a loan for something?
4. Although his employer would like him to return by July, the Ganges is almost always flooded during the monsoons especially in July-August. Hope your boyfriend has not presented his work responsibilities as only managing boat trips.
With no boat trips in July = No strong reason to return by a specific date
5. Can he include some emails/correspondence from his employer regarding managing some specific trips after he returns from his Canada visit?
6. Is all the money in his bank account earned by him? Nothing transferred by you?
7. Does he file Income Tax Returns?
8. Are these financial investments like FDs (bank term deposits) which are not locked-in?
9. Does he have credit cards? If yes, can he include 2-3 months' statements if the outstanding is low?
10. Hope your invitation letter did not mention about "missing each other", "you do not have time off work to visit him" or similar statements

Thanks bryanna, he does live with his family when he is not working, however he does have another job on the side. We did include the date he has to go back to work and his work schedule. Does he have to write a letter about his job, duties etc and off time? He has 3 investments, I'm nit sure if they are locked in or what that mean. In my invitation letter it was very professional and specific with all information and itinary. I followed a guide online. He does it have a bank account, credit card or properties, loan or car and I didn't send him any money. That's why it is hard to show ties....1.

1. Can he provide evidence that he supports his family financially or pays the utility bills/rent (for example)?Thanks bryanna, he does live with his family when he is not working, however he does have another job on the side.
2. Does he have an employment letter + salary slips for the second job?
Letters from him/you will not work. What will work is hard evidence.We did include the date he has to go back to work and his work schedule. Does he have to write a letter about his job, duties etc and off time?
I'm assuming he has bank term deposits (fixed deposits). Locked-in means the interest earned on those FDs will be credited on maturity. So these FDs cannot be liquidated if required to support his visit.He has 3 investments, I'm nit sure if they are locked in or what that mean.
That's fine.In my invitation letter it was very professional and specific with all information and itinary. I followed a guide online.
1. Is he paid in cash by the boat employer? Or is his salary credited through bank transfers?He does it have a bank account, credit card or properties, loan or car and I didn't send him any money. That's why it is hard to show ties....
2. Can he provide salary slips/salary statement for the income paid by the boat employer?
3. Does he pay income/personal tax every year?
4. Does his employer contribute to his pension funds? Or medical insurance?
5. Also did he visit Laos and Cambodia on business visits or for holidays?

Firstly, thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated. He is paid via bank noted Salary and gratuity paid via bank under someones name. They do not provide salary slips but it is noted on his bank statements. He does NOT file income tax returns and does not get pension or medical insurance. Any holidays has just been for holidays. His 3 investments are Mutual Funds over 4 thousand Canadian dollars which he can take out anytime but maybe a penalty . Since they deal with so much cash in india and bank transfers are easier a lot of slips are missing. His family is going to Mumbai in June for a wedding and he did pay for all of their travel and it shows it on his bank statements.
