Purpose of visit refusal

[nirmalgaba]

hi respected members
I was applied for visitor visa in Jan 2019 but got refusal with reasons 1. financial assets and 2. purpose of visit. i am going to post my purpose of visit here. please provide some suggestions to improve it.


I, xxxxxxx, Indian passport holder no xxxxxxx want to apply for visitor visa. I am presently residing at xxxx India. I have plans to visit my friend xxxxxxx and his family from 30-03-2019 to 12-04-2019, residing at xxxxxx, Calgary ,AB, CANADA T3J3N8.

I want to join my friend's marriage anniversary celebration. Moreover I want to see Calgary Tower ( April 5th, 2019) , Heritage Park(April 6th, 2019) and Devonian Gardens(April 7th, 2019). Jassa singh had suggested me to visit Glenbow Museum. If I have enough time in hand then I would like to visit Glenbow museum( April 8th 2109).

I, hereby confirm that I am financially well established in India. I am taking sufficient funds with me to fulfill all my basic needs and stay in Canada. Moreover, my friend- xxxx will take care of my boarding, lodging, accommodation, food, medical, transportation or any other expenses arising (if any) during my stay in Canada (Supporting/sponsorship document uploaded in Invitation letter section).

I, also assure that if I am allowed to visit Canada I will leave prior to expiry of my visa. As I am a government employee, have NOC sanctioned from my DDO and I had to report back on duty before the expiry of sanctioned leave.

We as a family i.e. me, my wife and two lovely children are residing in same house and are bonded very much each other. They are not applying for visa because kids' study would have suffered hence they are staying back and my wife will look after them. I assure you I will leave Canada prior to expiry of my visa.

For this purpose, I have included all the necessary documents as per my knowledge and belief. But if you find anything missing or want further supporting document of any kind, please let me know.

Hoping for a positive response from your side.

2. I have CAD 37000/- with FD and GPF amount. Isnt it sufficient?

Anniversaries are not particularly good reasons to visit Canada, and are often refused. Your planned events have a few holes that a simple check of the internet would have made obvious. The Devonian Gardens in Calgary is nothing more than a trip to a mall. The Devonian Gardens in Edmonton would be pointless in April as you would be visiting in late winter with nothing to see but snow and ice. Same for Heritage Park, as it’s the winter season and most of the cultural aspects are closed till mid May. And you’ve totally missed Banff National Park which is only an hour away. The credibility of your plans are, at the very least, questionable.
