Hello, request yr assistance pls to understand how do we reapply to convince the authorities.

We applied as a family, one son going to join University and the other son accompanying me as I am not comfortable travelling alone.

We applied for TRV for me n my son and Study Permit for my other son.

We rcvd the Biometrics confirmation on 31st July, email to submit passport rcvd on 1st and again on 5th Aug. However, my other son (TRV) didn't get email to submit passport.

On follow up with VFS, within 2 hours we rcvd email as follows :

Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada. After careful review of your temporary resident visa application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application 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 the limited employment prospects in your country of residence. 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 current employment situation. 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 family ties in Canada and in your country of residence. 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. 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. + + You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee. Sincerely, IRCC Abu Dhabi Embassy of Canada in the United Arab

How do I respond to these concerns and demonstrate to them that my son will return to his country of residence - where should I mention this ?

Also we have our return confirmed tickets and hotel booked for the few days we intend to stay in Canada until my son moves in to University housing.

When reapplying do we have to mention the earlier application details ?
Appreciate your assistance and support.
Pls guide me.
Thank you,
Carrod

Hello everyone. Need your opinions:
I submitted my Visa application (SDS) late on July 27, 2019. Gave my biometrics on July 30, 2019. Now the thing is, where Applicant information is present, biometrics number, enrolment and expiry date have been updated. However, where the status is shown it is still showing:
BiometricsHelp - Biometrics
  • We need your fingerprints to process your application. Check your messages below for details.

It has been quite a while now... Should I again go and give my biometrics or should I wait and is it abnormal for the biometric details to be updated in the applicant information section but not in where it shows status?? Has anybody faced the same issue??
