Open Work Permit-Help!

[megha_Ontario]

Hi all,

I am in a bad situation and needs advice to what best action I can possibly take. I am an international student in Canada and recently got married. My husband is in India and wanted to accompany me in Canada; thus filed for an OWP at Delhi Visa Office. But his visa was rejected for the following reasons:

1) Family ties in Canada and India: He mentioned in the cover letter that he has his entire family in India; his parents are aging; his brother is working in Saudi hence the entire family responsibility lies on him (my husband), attached property papers; he has an ongoing job and has been working for the past three years.

2) Insufficient funds: He showed 4 lakhs in bank account plus I showed my stipend and off-campus earnings.

I am just so let down by the reasons for rejection 'coz provided every necessary information. I' am not sure what our next step should be. Should we try for a visitor visa? Although, I've heard that it will be highly unlikely to get it.

Just wanted to know what's the best for us in given situation. Looking for some help and advice. Please please. Thanks!
