My husband was recently rejected a TRV for the second time. The first time was after we were married but before we applied for PRV. The second time was after we were married, and after we had received AOR (Stage 1) for our PRV under Family Class. I came across this on the CIC website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/dual.asp and within this page, the following statement is found:
If an officer has concerns/doubts about the applicant’s bona fide, the applicant must be made aware of these concerns and given an opportunity to respond to them.
So, I'm not sure why we were not contacted to be given an opportunity to respond to these concerns.....we were simply issued a rejection letter. Has anyone experience with contacting CIC regarding TRV applications?
If you want to know a bit more background....he's Syrian and I've been staying with him overseas while our application is processed (currently on a tourist visa).
The VO stated that 1) because of his family ties (me), 2) inability to obtain permanent residency / citizenship in his country of residence (UAE) and 3) the unstable situation in Syria he was not convinced that my husband would leave Canada after our visit (I included an itinerary and return ticket for me that was already purchased months ago. We didn't purchase a return ticket for him because the cost for a fully refundable ticket is extremely high.
One other question...do we now need to notify CIC of this rejection for our PRV application? we had already indicated that he had been refused a visa (for the first one) in our PRV application.
Would love to hear of other people's experiences.
Discouraged
