Sure thanks Life continue

FYsol:
Sorry about the refusal bro. All things work together for our good.

IamR:

My brother got second refusal too.

Reasons for first refusal:

Travel history
Purpose of visit

Reasons for second refusal:

Travel history: he has only being to east African countries.

Purpose of visit: the conference was postponed till next year. We are not sure if the consular knew that the conference would be postponed during the visa processing. The conference organizers sent a letter to him that the conference has been postponed a week after visa refusal.

Finance: he submitted statement of account of 10 million naira and treasury bills certificate of 25 million naira.

Asset: he submitted 8 landed properties worth 80 million naira.

Sorry about that.

When did he apply and when did he get the response?

Can you please throw much light on exploratory visit?. I intend applying for a tourist visit but I fear my application may be denied because of my express entry profile although my score is very far from recieving ITA in the nearest future except i get employer who will engage me. For me the alternative is to use conference, unfortunately, I can't find a conference that is specifically related to my job in Canada for the next 8 months.

In 2014 i was in UAE and i travelled to the UK is 2019.

Thanks for your reply.

FYsol:
Sorry about your brother's refusal @IamR , From what i could gather, it is apparent your brother is a high networth individual. DM me so that I can guide you how I changed my purpose of visit from just a vacation that earned me a refusal to exploratory visit where I stated boldly I am interested in becoming a Permanent Residence but needed to come around to explore business opportunities.

Saskatchewan and British Columbia has a PR program for entrepreneurs. And before you can file in your application, you are required to come for an exploratory visit in the community.

You need to have a total networth of CAD $500,000 and be willing to invest CAD $300,000 to qualify. The good news is you dont need to proof or show you have above amount of money when applying for TRV in order to conduct the exploratory visit.

But I guess you might need to submit a very healthy business account that has a good cashflow since the program is designed for entrepreneurs and you need to convince IRCC you are indeed one. Since you are going for business I will advice you apply alone.

Kindly google more on provinces that offers PR for migrating entrepreneurs.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your swift reply. This is a an eye opener, especially as one does not need to have that cash (500,000 and 300,000 CAD) in his/her account at the time of application. However, I doubt if an account that is less than 10m naira which is about #37,000 CAD will fly for that purpose.

In a nut shell, For an account that is less than 10m and without invitation, this looks like a better alternative to strength the purpose of visit then saying you are traveling for vacation.

You are correct, but in the aspect of invitation, each community has entities that organises free seminar to prospects. All that i did was to get booked for 3 of those seminars which I included in my application.
And when my application was taking eternity to get approved, I kept booking another seminar which I was attaching through their web form.

Hi guys, how do I update my travel history. I am presently in India on a medical visa. I submitted my application online on 29th of may, 2019 and biometric done 7th of June. My application status is saying no update in your account. Is there any way I can add to or update my application. Thanks

bibiliscious:

Day 73 - Finally got an update

I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.
UNQTE

Gave a detailed LOE showing a day to day itinerary breakdown, even purchased Tourist reservation(Toronto City Pass) worth $72.73 , Hotel reservation and flight reservation all in good order. The honest truth is i legit wanted to go for vacation purposes only so i'm irked.

First Application was rejected due to Family ties ,Second Application rejected due to Purpose of visit , I'm officially done with Canada, will focus on my US visa renewal only going forward

Many Thanks for all your help

.

Just got a BVL this morning 5th of Sept from the Kenya office. Submitted paper route on the 29th of July. Linked it online on the 1st of August. Update so far. Hoping for a positive response from the embassy for me and other applicants. All the best of luck to everyone.

Sorry bibi. Did any of your fiance's family change status from temporary to permanent residence while in Canada? This could impact negatively on both your applications if your ties are not strong enough to outweigh that possibility:

"Applicant's incentives to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country"

@ FYsol and all

My fiancé’s sister is a Canadian citizen while his mum is a permanent resident (changed while she went to visit ) but in all of this I never mentioned my fiancé’s name /family details or links to him in my application as we aren’t yet married officially. I only advised that I was getting married in Nov

You are too much. You are a refusal saver. Please check your because i have sent you the DM.
Thanks a million.

It's not hard to connect people in these modern times. Hotel booking, wedding invites, bank statements.......etc. The Canadians are ready good at connecting the dots. It is well.

Wish you a happy married life.
