February 2023 Visitor Visa applicants

[sendtomaddy]

Same happened to my brother’s application. Applied on 14 Feb and refused on 19 Feb.

As per Canada visa process
They treat you married once you have been in married life for 365 days, and being in relationship they treat you as doubtful applicant unless you have very strong ties and travel history
Apply for GCMS notes

It really depends on blue dart service.
The blue dart rep told me that they do not have enough manpower (ridiculous it sounds I know )
So I went to nearest blue dart center and submitted on my own.
But ask specifically.

Thank you for responding....I have provided the home address for pickup.....
one more doubt
in the VFS consent form that has to be filed along with the passport and the passport request letter, my mother should sign the consent under indirect submission or direct submission section?

I have applied on Feb 20th for my In laws in India. Got the biometric request letter on the same day.
However I did a mistake in father in law application with name, so wrong name entered on Biometrics letter. My mother in law is going to give biometrics today. I have raised a web form to correct the name, does anyone have idea how long they will take reply or will they reject the application?

THANKS FOR REPLY.

we don't have any GCMS notes.

but last refusal reason was
* no family ties ( now he is married , job )
* purpose of visit ( now marriage invitation earlier was convocation reason)
* financial status ( earlier $10k now $68k.)

does I need to mention previous refusal of my brother.. and SOP is mandatory?
thanks

SOP is mandatory
Previous refusal needs to be mentioned
Infact in application form, you need to mention UCI no, it's unique no for all immigrants of Canada, tourist or PR or any
Still I advice you to get GCMS notes, then reapply visa with proper replies
CAD 10 k in bank statement, stamped by bank
6 m salary slip stamped by office
Leave sanction letter
ITRs

Infact above documents will try to convince visa officer that your brother has ties in India and will come back

Even though there are slight mistakes in our application with name and dob, they allowed to give biometrics. Web form was raised to correct these.
