Hi,

I am a student in TRU, Kamloops, BC. I have valid study permit till Nov 2021 and i applied for a visitor visa for my wife and kids. Visa got rejected. Below r the reasons:

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

Few points which i thought will go in my favor are as follows:

1. My wife has a travel history of visiting USA in 2010. She still has valid USA visitor Visa.
2. My wife and daughter has a Canadian visitor visa issued for a year in 2014. Although they never traveled to Canada.
3. Both of my kids has Valid USA visitor visa till 2029.
3. My wife is an Central government employee. I provided the NOC from her office as a supporting document..

Unfortunately, my perception of her profile being strong was crashed by the visa officer. Her brother is a Canadian permanent Resident.

Now please suggest what steps should i take to get it approved.

Thanks in advance.

Would order GCMS notes. Your wife should also be applying for a SOWP not TRV unless she only wants to visit temporarily. Unfortunately families of international students aren’t guaranteed visas/permits. You will have to try and address the concerns and see what happens.

Thank you Canuck. Does GSMC notes have more information in relation to the points already mentioned in the rejection letter.

Also any inputs, in what way the above rejection points could be addressed?

Yes you will get more details about the reasons for your rejection. I think CIC assumes your family wants to move to Canada so a TRV would not be appropriate for your wife. She should be applying for a SOWP. The fact that she has a brother in Canada creates more ties to Canada. Do her parents have a visa to go to Canada or are they in Canada?

Her Mother has a valid visitor visa and she has visited canada three- four times in past.

Do you think they will approve SOWP as they didnt approve the visitor visa?

There is likely a better chance but no guarantee. Would order GCMS notes before reapplying so you can submit the strongest application.
