Third try, Refused again

[malaya013]

Hi everyone,

I applied for a temporary visa three times and all those times I got denied. The last time I applied, I had the assistance of an immigration lawyer and still got denied.

The reasons for refusal IRCC mentioned are:
1. No proof that I am going to leave Canada after my stay.
2. Not enough proof of ties in my residential country
3. No sufficient proof that I can provide for the whole duration of my stay.
4. Not enough travel history

My partner is a Canadian citizen and we have been together for more than two years. We are not married but we are expecting a baby this November 2018.

In my last application, we explicitly explained that the reason for my 3-week visit is to meet his adopted family and his newly-found biological parents after 35 years. We are both working online with a gross monthly income of more than $2000 CAD. I don't have any relatives in Canada. We are also currently leasing a townhouse here in the Philippines. Moreover, we already traveled outside of the Philippines together and I also have travel history in other countries without him.

What could be our next plan of action?

IMO, unfortunately, you do not have a strong TRV profile. In fact, your immigration lawyer should have advised you against reapplying for a TRV.

Here's why your TRV application is highly likely to be refused if you reapply:
1. Canadian partner + you are common law

2. Baby on the way who will be granted Canadian citizenship depending on how/when your partner got his citizenship

3. Income/earnings are quite low = Potential to overstay for financial reasons

4. Your purpose of visit implies your family ties to Canada will be the strongest when you visit = No incentive for you to return to the Philippines.

5. Only short travel to visa-required countries (US, UK, Schengen, Australia, NZ, etc) will be considered as travel history.

I am not interested in permanent residency because we want to live here in the Philippines. Is that the next possible option?
