Visitor Visa Renewal Rejected

[24shm]

I hold PR status here, yet my siblings visa applications were still rejected. My sister runs a business back home, and my brother is in high school.
They previously had valid visas and visited me once, but their visas expired two years ago.
In this recent application, they indicated a two-week visit only. My sister submitted a bank statement showing CAD 11k along with other investment funds.
I also provided my own bank statement showing CAD 16k and stated that I would cover their expenses during their stay. Our parents are no longer alive.

I don’t understand what other documents would be required to demonstrate strong ties??

Reason of Refusal - applicant does not have significant family ties outside of Canada and insufficient funds

It was relatively easy to visit until around 2025. Is your sister your brother’s legal guardian? Is she married ? Does she have children? 11k of liquid personal savings is not enough for 2 people. Your savings don’t really count.

From the looks, both siblings does not have significant family ties outside of Canada. As they are from India, CAD 11k is probably not enough. Your funds are not considered.

She’s single and has a legal guardianship of my brother. We filed their application together.

Try double that amount.

How soon do you think it would be appropriate to reapply? I’m thinking to reapply for my sis only.

When she can show more funds. Yes you should apply for your sister only but her ties are not that strong either.

Ok…what else we can provide to show stronger ties?

Things like proof of home ownership, long lease, other property ownership might help. If she rents a business space, has employees, etc. all could be additional proof that she should return.

Somewhat depends on your previous and current reason for travel and proposed date. Reapplying right away would likely not give you a lot of time to accumulate more savings. Although you would be the only one traveling you still have a dependent to support.
