Dear All,
First of all a little background. Me and my wife are in Canada, me on Study permit and my wife in OWP. My wife is expecting and the date is in next 3 weeks. My inlaws applied for the Visitors Visa and it was rejected. The rejection reasons stated in the refusal letter are:
A. You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of stay as a temporary resident. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:
1. Your travel history
2. Length of proposed stay in Canada
3. Your personal assets and financial status
B. I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds, including income or assets, to carry out your stated purpose in coming to Canada or to maintain yourself while in Canada and to effect your departure."
C. You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your/your host's income and assets
Ok, we mentioned that we are expecting a baby and would like to call our inlaws. We did also mentioned that its not a 'Nany arrangement' and that our inlaws want to be part of this exciting moment and hence they are visiting us. Did we do a mistake trying to be completely honest ?
My inlaws have travelled to UAE for a short interval of time. Not sure why did they gave 'Your travel history' as a rejection reason. We cannot do anything about the travel history now.
Length of stay that we applied for is 4 months. This is their first travel to Canada and is 4 month a long time ?
We showed the following Funds: (Including both parties, ours and my In-laws)
1. State Bank of India, (My Father In-law account) --- $25812.40
2. Scotiabank, (My wife's 4 months stmt, chequing) --- $5047.61
3. Scotiabank, (My Wife's 4 months stmt, savings) --- $2991.80
4. ICICI Bank, (My account in India, 6 months stmt) --- $5302.68
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total: $ 39,154.49 (CAD)
Is this amount not sufficient to stay for 4 months ?. Could this be a strong reason to reject. Also, the amount shown by my father inlaw is a bit unclear. Meaning, its not a general savings bank account stmt. Its a MOD account. Dont know what does it means.Could this have confused the Visa officer ?
For point B: My father in-law has showed shares, Fixed deposit and one flat and one house in India.
For point C: My wife has given her pay stub, offer letter. I have recently joined a short term contract and has submitted ONE pay-stub along with my offer letter.
I am totaly stressed out and need your urgent suport. The tickets were confirmed tickets and guess has to be cancelled now.
Please help with your advises and experiences ,,.
