Rejected

[Fafa6421]

I am an athlete from Iran and I am used to race in many foreign countries! I have been lot of time in Europe. There was a race in Canada. And I wanted to participate but they denied me with the argument of IRPR,179(b)
Anyone knows, Why!!? What should I do?

You'll need to provide more information about your profile before anyone can give you any insight.

What did you submit as part of your visa application? What ties do you have to your home country? What was the full reasons for rejection in the letter?

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.
• 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 your personal assets and

I had an invitation letter from the organizers of that race, that they also asked strongly to cooperate with me!

1. Are you a national/International level athlete?

2. Who will be paying for all your expenses?

3. Which countries in Europe did you participate in? Were those international events?

It's possible the visa officer believed that you may overstay your visit or else claim asylum.

If you want to have some chances for a TRV approval, you must NOT pay for your visit and airfare. That would make it seem like you are participating at a personal level.

If you are a national level athlete then you must include evidence that your government paid for you to participate in the Europe events too.

You would also need to demonstrate that you have strong reasons to return to Iran at the end of a short, genuine visit. For example, employment, property ownership, good financial situation, dependent family members, etc
