For sure will do. I have applied for my husband with AOR, which makes it eligible for faster processing, still no response.
Now that summer rush is over, hopefully will hear something soon.

Hello everyone,

I am a Malaysian citizen and applied for a Canadian Temporary Resident Visa to accompany my sister to Toronto while she attended a conference from 27-30 August 2026.

I submitted:

• 26+ years of employment with leading telco in Malaysia
• Senior management position
• Approved leave from employer
• Significant EPF savings
• Significant bank balances
• Confirmed return flight ticket
• 8-day itinerary
• Evidence of my sister's conference invitation and visa approval

My application was refused under IRPR 179(b). The officer notes stated:

• Insufficient travel history
• Purpose of visit does not appear reasonable in the context of the information provided

I submitted a reconsideration request with additional supporting documents, but the Singapore visa office replied that the decision remains unchanged.

I am now planning to request GCMS notes. Has anyone experienced a similar refusal despite having strong employment and financial ties? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

If you're claiming to accompany your sister to a conference, you'll need to prove why your accompaniment is necessary. In your case, it would be better to apply as a tourist rather than saying you're accompanying her.
