what family ties means
- Thread starter Qiaoliya
- Start date
That means you did not provide enough information or evidence of your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence (which is China). For China, did you show information relating to your enrolling of an engineering course until 2018?
For the benefit of contributors pertinent posts carried across from initial thread.

1. What proof did you provide that she is your aunt?
2. What proof did your aunt provide to you for the invite - is there an invite letter with supporting documents as to her status and finances?
3. How did she get Canadian status?
4. How long have you studied in China? i.e. when did you leave Nigeria
5. When does your course end?
6. What type of course is it?
7. Where are your family based - presumably Nigeria? Do you have a spouse/kids? Why aren't your own parents sponsoring this trip?
8. What is the total cost of this visit and why are you visiting - to see the sites, hang out?
Visa officer is saying you won't come back once you land in Canada...on paper you have a weak case but fill out the answers above it will be useful to detail your options.

1. Well how does CIC know you are a relative as claimed - you need to show a birth certificate each for both your aunt and your parent who is her sibling showing they share the same parentage. You then need to show your birth certificate showing your parents names one of whom will be the sibling described above. So you need 3 birth certificates!
2. Well that indicates its a genuine invite.
4,5,6,7 - Show that you are a student living in a country that's not your home country (so you've shown leaving home is not an issue for you) that has no strong family ties that compel you to return home i.e. no spouse or kids. You have little in the way of funds and are relying on an unproven relative to sponsor your visit. The visit likely to the visa post in not clearly defined - where will you visit if its tourism? Did you detail points of interest e.g theme park A, Museum B etc? The visa post will also check the total outlay of the visit also taking into account the sponsors income then review whether this makes any sense. E.g if the trip is US$ 4K but your aunt makes $20K a year and has $5K in her bank account who spends all their money inviting a relative to Canada? Try re-submit with the birth certificates you may get lucky.
