Hello everyone,

I'm feeling depressed today as my fathers visitor visa got rejected today.I'm not sure if I was lacking somewhere in papers or funds or sufficient time in canada.

can anyone shed some light..

I landed in April'05 and submitted my Tax return for Gross $19,000 for last year.Had submitted a job letter with $43,000 gross and permanent job.

I also gave $11,200 as bank balance and my father gave Rs 1.6 lac as funds proof.

My father is not in full time job and had only Rs 40,000/annum income tax return and his age is 61 now.

And my mother wasnt coming. even then they rejected the visa.

What should i do? I'm devastated ...

Had the same experience. Parents visa got rejected even though me and my parents showed way more evidence per the requirements mentioned in the website and also they had multiple entry visas for USA and had visited USA and Canada before.

I was visiting my parents in USA and took a chance to apply for visa in Washington. Surprise ! they did not even recogonize that the visa back at my parents home was rejected( In the interview my dad specifically said that the visa was rejected and the officer just brushed it away) and issued a multiple entry.

Looks like there are no specific criteria for rejection or for that matter approval and based only at the discretion of the employees working in there.

Hi Atul,

I have similar expecrience.
I had shown 22,000 k Balance in Canada and a contract earing me great amount but still no luck. Also Demonstrated Property worth 5 lakh,but No luck.

I agree that there is no criteria some people get Visa very easily but others don't.

I would appricte if anybody can share their success that will help us to apply for Visitor visa.

Thanks
Ulkesh

Ulkesh,

I landed in early 2005 and applied for my Mother's Visitor visa in October 2005 and got it.

The documents I submitted were

- Employment letter ( showing gross salary, dt. of appointmnet and type (permanent)

- Bank statement
- Car papers ( as I had no other assets in canada)

For my mother (incidentally she is 76 years old and alone in India)

- Property papers ( she has houses in her name)
- Bank statement
- Pension papers

I applied for single entry visa and after landing in Canada I got it extended for 6 months more.


After submission of the papers she got the Visa within 7 days

I donot know whetjer this helps or not


Good luck

Hi,

Do not despair.

My mother in law's visa was rejected and I was referred to an immigration consultant who processed the papers the second time. My mother in law's got her visa in three flat days.

Yes there are fees associated with the immigration consultant, but she does a great job. Her solutions are tailor made, depending on various factors and the reasons cited for the rejection.

It appears as though just sending the papers mentioned on the CIC website is enough. That in fact is misleading. There's much more to getting to a visa.

Send me an email and I will give the contact details. BTW, I am just giving a referral like my friend did to me.Nothing more than that.

Hi
My parents visa denied. Retired government employee. My family income more than $100,000 and working for federal government in Canada. In Canada for the last 4 years. Never visited India. My bad luck.

My Parents had visited once in late 90's without any problem and two years back when they wanted to come here, there visa was rejected.

Someone suggested me to contact my MP (Federal). I live in Markham and our MP is John McClum ...I sent him a fax explaining the situation. Next day, I got a call from his Assistant and she asked me to give her copies of all the documents that they had presented in Delhi for Visiors Visa and also the File Number, that is mentioned on the Rejection Letter. I gave her all fax copies and then she contacted Ottawa Office with MP's recommendation letter. She told me that she can not gurantee that my parents will get a visa but usually there should not be any problem, if all documents are in order. And to my surprise, next day my parents got a phone call from Consultate in Delhi to bring their passports and collect the visa

Thanks to my MP's Assistant but she pulled this off litteraly in 48 hrs. I had never imagined politicians can work that fast !

After this I had told this idea to three families that I know off, whose Parents' Visa was rejected and two of them got the visa on MP's recommendation.

So all those who are going thru' this phase, should contact their local MP's as last resort.
