Bank statement isn’t that great, which means the officer will find your salary low, contrary to your belief that it pays well. Not to mention your Canadian partner and child. Your reason to travel to Canada isn’t also really valid. I have a friend who was travelling alone between the Philippines and the US when she was 8 years old.

I know I’ve been wrong before, but this unfortunately looks like a clear-cut refusal to me.

I agree that your bank balance is really quite low. Ideally this should be $10K+.

Do you own any property? If so, provide evidence of that. Have you previously traveled to countries requiring visas such as the US or UK? If so, provide evidence of that (if not, that will unfortunately work against you). You should include a letter from your employer confirming your leave period and when you are expected back at work (this letter should include information such as your job and how long you have been with the company). I'm not sure what a COE is.

The fact your daughter and her father are Canadian will unfortunately work against you and likely lower the chances of approval significantly.

You should request a trip of 2-3 weeks at most.

To add to the previous responses:
Your key objective is to prove you will not overstay your visit nor would you apply for spousal sponsorship by the inland route.


You could also include other evidence:
1. Your daughter attends school in the Philippines (admission + tuition fees + a leave approval letter + school ID, etc)

2. Do you live with family members who are dependent on you either financially or for their well-being? If yes, you should include evidence for this.

3. Do you have any loans or maybe you have secured a mortgage? Do include evidence.

4. Do you have any work commitments or family events or travel that is scheduled after your visit?

5. You also would not want to state that you must accompany your daughter as she is unable to travel alone. This may not sound convincing

i undertand. thank you, how about my mother in law will shoulder all the expenses in canada becasue we will stay there for a 2 moths vacation. is 4054 cad dollar enough? i know it's not possible but thank you for your information i appreciate it
 
well i know i have very little chances to be approve it's just so sad to hear that canada can't even give chances to those people want to travel there with purpose her grandmother just want her to visit there for her to experience her ctizenship. i know other kid can travel alone but my daughter can't even go to school alone because she is scared. i hope canadian embassy would not judge directly to those people have lower inceom like here in philippine. ps, by the way COE means certificate of employment. and 3800-4054 cad is quite better enough here for a normal workers here.

Having your MIL pay for everything and staying for 2 months in Canada is a big no-no. To be approved, you have to show you can afford the trip entirely on your own and that you will leave Canada after a short period of time (2-3 weeks).
Perhaps for US visa applications, they usually don't care who pays for your trip. But Canada has their own criteria, and we observed that so-called sponsored trips are usually rejected if the applicant can't show they can afford the trip.

It is literally their job to judge who gets the privilege to enter Canada, based on the application and documents you present. Sorry to say, but sympathy or family ties aren't good enough reasons to get approved if you don't have the socio-economic ties (job, business, savings) to back it up.

3800 CAD is barely enough for a round-trip plane ticket and a week of stay in Canada. The ticket alone is half of your savings. Again, it doesn't matter if your MIL actually pays, you have to show your funds as if you're paying for it yourself.

It's not impossible for someone like you to get approved, but the chances are very very very slim.

Agree with bellaluna, as a Filipino myself, let us also keep in mind that a visitors visa is hard to come by for us since our fellow citizens have:

1. Procured a visa then proceeded to stay here illegally
2. For those who will be sponsored by their spouses, used a TRV to enter Canada but then stays in Canada until getting PR

Also, the economic condition in the Philippines is frail and we are known to attempt to try and get better opportunities outside of our own country. The father or other family member who is able to travel to Canada may also accompany the child.
