Hello all
I’ve been a long time reader of this forum and wanted to share my experience applying for my mom’s visitor visa.
My husband and I had been trying to bring his parents here to visit for the past 4 years. We were students when we first applied for TRV for both parents and they were refused. Since then, we had been applying once a year, each time adding more information and documentation to our application, and kept getting the same refusals days after our application (4 refusals). We even had hired an immigration consultant the first two times who concluded there has to a “hidden” political reason why they were being refused given that we met all the criteria. In any case, we decided to hire a lawyer, and with their help applied for a supervisa for his mom alone. And finally, after 4 years of trying, we were approved.
The reason I’m writing this now is to give hope to everyone waiting to have their parents in their lives in Canada. There’s a system in place, and every aspect of the application is considered carefully. If you’re rejected, do your research and see what’s missing. Apply again. Be persistent and thorough, and don’t loose hope!
And thank you to this forum for all the great information!
Cheers!
