Need honest feedback/suggestions on my brother’s Canada TRV reapplication for my wedding.
Background:
- My brother is 24 and an Indian citizen currently studying full-time in a BA program in India.
- I am his sister and a PR in Canada.
- He was refused once earlier mainly over temporary resident intent/family ties concerns.
Our mother passed away years ago, so attending the wedding is emotionally important for our family.
- Purpose of travel is attending my wedding for a short stay (around 10 days).
What we included in the reapplication:
- Updated college enrollment + leave/NOC letter
- Academic calendar showing semester continuation after trip
- Student ID + fee receipts
- Father sponsorship affidavit
- Father’s overseas employment proof + salary evidence
- Brother’s bank statements + balance certificate
- My Canadian employment letter/paystubs/bank statements
- Wedding card + religious venue confirmation letter
- Property/home ties in India
- SOP focused more on studies and return obligations instead of emotional wording
Main concern:
Since there was a previous refusal, I want realistic feedback:
1. Do the updated study/return-tie documents meaningfully improve temporary resident intent?
2. Is there anything genuinely useful still worth adding?
3. Any red flags in this type of profile that should specifically be addressed in SOP?
Looking for constructive advice from people familiar with TRV refusals/reapplications.
