Hi. I submitted an application for me and my sister to visit Canada. I just got a message today that my visa was approved, but my sister was refused? The reasons are:

• 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.
• Insufficient information provided with regards to status/current activities in stated country of residence

But I'm the one who did the main application, and my sister is just a family member who came with me. The online application for my sis required fewer documents than mine, as a family member. Is this the problem? Should I reapply for her?

I had submitted a LOE for my purpose of visit, but only for my application, but not my sister's because the application didn't ask for that. I also submitted my sister's I-20, which is proof of international student in the U.S. along with her school schedule for Spring Semester. Generally, I submitted all same documents for both applications.

Can someone give me advice? Should I order GCMS notes for her case?

Many thanks.

As per the guide (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5256-applying-visitor-visa-temporary-resident-visa.html), "family members" are spouse, dependent children, and dependent grandchildren. Siblings are NOT "family members". Resubmit your sister's application as an individual and include the missing information. Maybe add a cover letter explaining what happened.

Oh my goodness! Thanks so much for your reply. Because the questionnaire asked that if any family member comes with me, so I just thought that my sister is also my family because we're blood-related. Maybe that's the problem.

2nd time it got rejected on the same day when we had completed her biomatrics.

PR, invitation and bank statement of a relative, detailed linearity, reapplication with strong intention to come back.

I think you should try order the GCMS notes. They'll let ya know the reasons in details.
