I am a citizen of Pakistan currently living in Germany with my husband(recently got married and moved to germany) . I want to visit my brother and sister in law living in Montreal and thus applied for a visitor visa but it got rejected. The reason mentioned is that i have not satisfied them that i would leave Canada at the end of my stay as a temporary resident and the factors considered are
travel history
immigration status in country of residence
Family ties in Canada and in country of residence
Employment prospects in country of residence
Current employment situation

I want to reappeal now but i am confused why they have concerns about my employment (i am a housewife dependant on my husband and i mentioned t ) and how to reply them now.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello
Just wondering, how significant is it to include proof of air travel (return ticket purchase) before applying for a TRV? Does this have an impact on the likelihood of getting a positive decision?

Just include a ticket, proposed itenary.
You dont wanna buy an expensice ticket and loose your money incase of rejection.
Also CIC emphasized Not to BOOk your travel tickets until you got your pp back..

Hi. My mother in law applied for TRV on 4th March, on paper, through VFS/VAC in Islamabad. Today, she received she received an email asking her to collect processed passport. That's 40 days from submission of application to dispatch of passport after decision. Her visa got approved, Alhamdulillah. 6 months, multiple entry. We had applied for 3 months visa, and got a 6 month one. Actually validity is till her passport expiry, which is in 6 months.

The thing is, prior to applying, people said that its better to apply on paper through VFS/VAC as processing times are considerably shorter. That's because apparently the online application goes to a central database and is then sorted to be sent to respective visa offices, whereas if submitted directly to VAC, it ensures direct and speedy processing. My mother in law's case has been similar, and a decision has been made in 40 days: there have been no delays.

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Best way to go through is your MP. I just sent an email to my local MP at 11 am and at 11:59 am, his office contacted me asking for his PR case number as well as they want to get an update for both cases.

Let's see the outcome.

The MP's office was ultra fast with their response. I sent the email at 11 am and got an email back at 11:59 am. I was out for lunch so couldn't respond back with consent form until 1:30 pm. By 3 pm, the office contacted me back letting me know that the TRV is still under review because Agents are still conducting mandatory background check along with criminal records. I was told to wait for 2 more weeks and if I don't hear anything, they will contact CIC again on my behalf.

Dear respected senior.
I have applied for Visit visa for my mother from Islamabad Pakistan but it is refused second time and they mention
Following points.
You not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident
In reaching this decision I consider several Factors including.
1-You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your/yours host income and assets.
2-Your travel history
3- Purpose of visit not mention
I show my monthly income $4000 per month plus $15000 (CAD) Bank Balance. Also mention my mother will carry $10,000 with her.
Attached Mother Immovable and Moveable property around 15 Million PKR (1& half Core)
Check of $CAD 800 for my Rent proof where I am leaving and mother will stay here.
Now this month my job is going finished and I got layoff and I am planning to apply for EI.
What steps I need to take for reapply for my mother visit visa or I can appeal it.
Without job how I can apply for my mother visit visa.
By profession I am Cost management Accountant and my wife is doctor.
I am Canada in Citizen and living here in Vancouver since 2008.
I am married and have one child.
I pay Rs 20,000 to process application in Islamabad Pakistan.
Now my question can I appeal against their decision or there is no way to go for appeal.
How I can satisfy visa officer to above three mention points.
AOA,

First of all, kindly check what are differences between previous and latest one refusals. What are week ties or connection for your mother case in home country. Moreover, i would say that request gcms notes from cic for both refusals. Thank you

AOA,

Firstly, you cannot appeal against the decision of VO, however, you can apply again after making some significant changes in your case. Can you please advise, from which location, you did apply, pakistan or germany? Did you apply alone or with family? what is employment status of your husband in germany?

Thank you.
