My fiance and I are seeking advice on what to do after you have received two TRV Application refusals?
A brief summary of our case:
I am a Canadian Citizen (born and raised), he is Nepali. We met in 2007 in a third country, both of us are International Professionals and have worked in several countries. I am an Engineer and a retired Captain from the Canadian Forces (Air) he is a Professional Chartered Accountant (ACCA). Currently I have returned back to Canada and taken a full time senior position job as an International Manager for a charity. He is working full time as the Finance Manager for a Multinational company in Malaysia. I have been the one visiting him over the last year as he has a more strict and demanding work schedule.
For Christmas 2011 we applied for the first TRV for him to come to Canada for three weeks during the holidays to spend time with family. We had also hoped to set a wedding date with my family (but this was not written in our application). I wrote a sponsorship letter for him with proof of citizenship and we declared our relationship openly/honestly. We also provided bank statements, a letter from his employer, proof of residency and return flights. His application was denied for 2 reasons identified - intent and finances.
The 2nd Visa Application was submitted in the first week of February 2012 as his next possible vacation period is this upcoming March. This time my father wrote a letter of sponsorship with proof of citizenship, included were aso copies of my fiance's professional ACCA accreditation and additional bank statements showing more money along with the original application paperwork (Letter of Employment, Residency, Application, rtn flights). Again we were denied for two reasons. This time the Finance had been removed but Intent remained as well as Travel History (which was not included the last time).
In the past ten years his travel history includes - India, Maldives, Dubai, Singapore, Nepal and Malaysia - all of which he entered and exited legally for work or vacation. He has no family in Canada either.
At this stage we do not know what to do. As my fiance has a high ranking job with a large company he is not able to just quite his job, and he has every intent to return to his job. We have been working as International Professionals for reputable companies and organisations including the UN and Red Cross and as professionals are in the process of evaluating where we want to settle. We never dreamed that visiting Canada prove to be so difficult.
We are wondering if a third TRV Application is worth it? What are the chances of approval? What additional paperwork could be used? How do you further improve intent outside of Reputable Employment, Residency, Professional Accreditation, Return Travel, Sponsorship Letter? I had hoped to plan a wedding in Canada for later this year but now it looks like that won't be possible. Any advice on what steps we should look at next would be greatly appreciated.
Please help,
