Visitor Visa Applicants Thread - Mar 2026

So for the boutique she included business registration, business accounts, taxes paid, client list etc? For property show leases on it.

We showed business registration and taxes . And for property it’s commercial land .

So business in her name only. If commercial then no tenants? Hard to get approved from India these days. Guessing no travel history. If her only refusal then seek guidance from immigration lawyer for next steps.

Got refusal on a dual intent TRV for my spouse (after getting AOR ).
Applied on March 25th , refusal on April 20.
We had attached her current job's leave approval/NOC, job offer letter, bank statements ( 30k CAD maintained over a period of 6 months).
Reason of visit was 2 weeks in August to celebrate her birthday.

The officer's decision note stated that the client has not indicated any employment. Really baffled as how this would happen !

Also got refused again for my husband’s visa. These stupid reasons are so vague and the mention of economic assets, we showed over $30k in liquid cash with an employment with Africa’s largest LNG plant. I’m genuinely baffled at this. Ties, ties, ties… Almost like I should leave Canada so my spouse can earn “2 weeks” visiting me for my graduation.. Done with this stupid process, just going to wait for PPR on PR.. I’m so frustrated!!

If you have outland sponsorship underway then wait for it.

Was this the second TRV refusal after getting the spousal AOR?

Same for us. Have you tried applying for a reconsideration via your local MP?

I don't understand why they would reject. Even online , it states that officers would be more lenient for spouses with PR AOR and faster processing.. Why are they still refusing like crazy!!

Yes, it is so frustrating to get your hopes high ( I know TRV is a privilege not a right ) and get it crushed with a reason that doesn't make sense.

So my MP contacted them and they said the reason my husband’s application was denied was because he’s unemployed … Very laughable because he’s got his bank statements clearly showing salary credits, an officially signed leave of absence letter from Schneider’s West African HR manager.. It’ll be nice if officers are more transparent and not denying visas based on “vibes”

Wow thats so shocking.
Any chance of them reconsidering now that the MP has been involved?

The purpose of the visit is for my graduation which is less than 30 days away. Reconsidering would take a while before file is reopened (if it will be reopened)
