Hi everyone,
I have been reading a bit around this forum and found it very useful and informative and I would like to thank everyone who's contributing to it!
I would like to ask from anyone on this forum who would have any insight or experiences in visitor visa and PR applications any advice of help regarding my situation, it would be very much appreciated.
I am a Canadian citizen and I have married an Indonesian citizen 8 months ago. We have been since then living in the Greater Jakarta area. My wife resigned from her work just couple of weeks before our marriage as our family plan is to work on having kids. My wife is currently in her 27th week of pregnancy. As the situation for work is scarce here and I am not legally able to have a formal job in here and since I have almost finished my savings, we decided to move to Canada so I could work to provide and for her to give birth there and be under the care of my mother in last weeks of pregnncy (the doctor issued a letter stating that it is safe for her to travel). So we have already been refused for a visitor visa on the following grounds:
• 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 travel history.
• 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 financial status.
In our application we didn't mentioned her pregnancy yet. We mentioned that the travel will be an opportunity for my wife to meet my family in person and spend some family time. My wife doesn't have strong family ties in Indonesia apart from few family members and few friend and a motorbike registered on her name. As for previous travel she only had two short international travel (KSA and Malaysia, average of one week travel each). As the wages are pretty low in Indonesia compare to Canada she doesn't have any significant amount of savings and mine are pretty low too. We could get a signed statement from my mother and her dad attesting that they would financially support her if needed in addition of myself providing.
Of course we are planning to apply for an outland PR as it seems to be advised on the forum (right for appeal and faster processing), but I would like to try again to apply for a visitor visa as my wife won't have someone to properly assist and take care of her during her last week of pregnancy in Indonesia if I have to go back to Canada to work to provide for the family.
Please note that our soon to be child will be a Canadian citizen despite being born in Jakarta, Indonesia, so giving birth in Canada is not the main objective which is being able to take care of my wife during the remaining of her pregnancy and have them around at least for a short while and being able to seek sustenance as here it relatively impossible in Indonesia for me.
So I would like to know is it possible to reapply for a visitor visa mentioning plainly as describded above our situation (no money having to go back to work, wife pregnant, not much support for pregnancy here, and to be with the family) and she doesn't have the intention to overstay as we are planning to apply for the PR and don't want jeopardize it by overstaying (overstaying won't benefit my wife in anything as her husband is canadian and soon to be born child will be too so no reasons at all to do that)?
What would be the best way to reapply for visitor visa in our situation? From your experiences is there any possibilities for it to be accepted?
Please kindly advise!
Thank you in advance for your consideration
