Dad refused visa after two years of waiting. Should I apply for supervisa?

[Jahchi18]

I applied for my dad to come to Canada in 2019 and as you know with Covid, the processing time was long. My father finally got a reply back in 2023 from CIC with a a refusal letter and the reason was because he said he had never been refused a visa anywhere and this was a mistake. That same year my cousin was getting married in America and wanted some of the family members to come for the wedding. She asked for my dad’s passport and he gave it to her as she was applying for every family attending ,he was asked to do was go for an interview afterwards and in need his own words the US visa officer just gave him a piece of paper and there was no word in the document he received that said refusal since he barely attended to him. I haven’t seen my father in 17years and I fear he will be refused again, everything I’ve read online says to wait for 5 years.. that’s a long time for a mistake he did not see coming At this point I’m just looking to sponsor or get the super visa.. please help. I feel defeated.

my status - Canadian, the whole family is Canadian not that it means anything to CIC. Just need to see my father. HELP!!!

So did he get a procedural fairness letter with the refusal of a possible 5 year ban? Didi he respond to the PFL within the time frame stated on the letter? If not, he is banned for 5 years and not eligible for any permit.

So you mean that he doesn't know that he was refused a visa after attending the interview? And he didn't tell you. Then you applied for him without putting down that he was refused a visa to US? This is consider mispresentation. (not stating the whole truth in the application)

Unless you are still within the period of appeal, he is ban from Canada for 5 years. He will not be able to get ANY type of visa (super visa, visitor visa or PGP PR sponsorship) until this 5 year ban period is over.

I think you should appeal if that's still possible. Or plan to visit him instead.

Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada. I have reviewed your temporary resident visa (visitor visa) application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the requirements for a visitor visa (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/ services/visit-canada/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/ index.html). I am refusing your application.
• I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions in the documents you have submitted in support of your application, as required by subsection 16(1) of the IRPA. Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information is truthful: Your declared history of previously refused visa application(s) to Canada or any other country.

That’s what I basically have so far.

Next Steps:
• If you decide to apply again, know that:
○ your new application will be assessed on its own merits,
○ you must resubmit a new application and all relevant supporting documents and pay
a new temporary resident application fee, and
○ your new application may be refused unless it is supported by new or different
information that would satisfy the officer that you meet all application requirements.

He wasn't banned. He is good to apply for a super visa now.
