Hi everyone. I would really like to request some guidelines on what can be improved for the visitor visa filing for my parents. I have been in Canada for more than six years and still waiting to get the PR. My brother here is studying and will be graduating soon. I applied my parents visitor visa several times on my behalf but it got rejected every single time. Then, i ended up applying for each one of them individually, still the same thing. They claim that we are not satisfied you will go back even in their Notes. My father works for state government and my mother works for central government back home and they are both on service with many years pending. We attached their NOCs from the department with all the other required documents, still visa got rejected.
1. Any suggestions of what can be improved?
2. Strong reasons for applying the visas?
3. Can we send a letter or request a meeting with any immigration officer to know what's been going wrong?
4. Any consultant that you have a personal experience with who knows what they are doing and advices the right thing?

So only reason is not returning? How long was visit? How many refusals and when did reapply? If multiple refusals, IRCC views them as desperate to come to Canada.

1. Don't know reasons or what parents showed to return. Given children are in Canada they have no family ties to return.
2. Funds, travel history to US, UK, NZ, AUS, strong ties to return (job is not enough).
3. No. No one is going to meet with you.
4. Get a lawyer.

Have you ordered GCMS notes? Do you have other siblings? How old are your parents? If close to retirement age work becomes less of a tie. How much did they show for liquid savings? Other ties? As previously noted applying multiple times also likely hurt your application. How many times have they applied?

Yes, the visit was a month. 5 refusals, reapplied

Yes, we did. It didn't specified much but said we aren't satisfied you will go back. I applied when my other sibling was backhome but now he is here too. They are 49 and 50. still have 15 years to retire. Liquid savings were almost 40,000$. They applied almost 5 times in past 6 years.

Yes and sometimes the funds but we showed almost 40k as liquid. 1 month. My sibling just came last year. Previously, he was with them. They said him as the reason to return and their on service jobs and property. They have travel history to some tourist countries like Thailand. How does the lawyer helps?

Five refusals!!! They have to stop applying for quite some time. IRCC sees them as desperate to come to Canada. With that many refusals they may never be approved. They have no family ties with no travel history. Maybe try and be approved for US visa and go there and meet children there. For property show income rentals and leases. If just their house, a job may not be enough ties to return with no family ties nor history.
 
Way too many refusals. The fact that your brother is now in Canada weakens their application. You are both temporary residents so that also doesn’t help. Would wait until you get PR and consider applying for a supervisa and would suggest an initial visit of 2-3 weeks.

No point in reapplying now by yourself now.
I suggest you to consult a qualified firm such as Bellissimo law firm. They are the best. have a paid consultation discuss your options.
Easier path would be supervisa for parents.

if you decide to pursue this now, you have to proceed in a planned manner and prepare yourself for fight for justice and if you have the cash and patience for it.
Ideal next steps would be to determine if you have the chance by consulting with a law firm.
then filing a strong case with a immigration firm, which will most likely be refused again. then taking up judicial review etc..

based on 5 refusals, this is going to be tough and it now depends on how important this visa is for you as you will bleed money as it will most likely involve filing judicial reviews etc. the Chinook AI of IRCC will keep refusing your apps with 5 refusal history of TRV.

JR is a very extreme and expensive response to a TRV refusal.

yes agreed.
but currently the only viable option under law to overcome a unjust refusal by Artificial Intelligence. IRCC knows that most people wont have the resources or means to challenge this via judicial review but there is simply no other way to get justice. Of course my statement of JR applies only to those cases who had the strongest application and had sufficient proof covering all the major criterias but still were unjustly refused via AI.

So when was your visa approved after settlement?

And JR does not mean it’ll get approved

There was a case that someone did JR twice and each time it was sent back for another officer to review and it was refused again. On Reddit

Guess if people have money to burn

In all , their application was refused three times .

“ Get justice ?” What ?

Visa approval is a privilege, doesn’t have squat to do with getting justice
People gotta stop thinking that entry into by foreigners is a right , it’s not
