When I got the same reason for refusal that I won’t return back to my home country I reapply and wrote a letter to the refusal and authenticate it at notary public with other documents I submitted previously ...so I will suggest you reapply and chances of them giving you might change their decision from the previous refusal...you must show ties that will connect you to your home country ...ie an investment, business, asset...etc if you didn’t submit before try get those and attached

I wanna share my experience and the timeline (paper based)


Oct 28: I submitted my application at VFS, biometrics and photo was taken. Btw, I did medical upfront last sept so the results were already out ahead of time

Oct 28: They received my application

Oct 29: My application is under process at IRRC.

October 30: Received an email stating that my biometrics is approved and valid for 10 yrs

Nov 4: Study permit to Canada is approved. They informed me that my passport is ready for pick- up.

Hi all
I have applied for a study permit and my partner applied for a sowp 3 weaks ago . Today my profile updated with my partner's correspondence letter but not mine. Does this mean that his visa is refused ?
Shouldn't the main applicant get the letter first if both of us are approved ?
