Need advise to get Canada visa please help.

Hello Sonu,

Given your age I would assume that you have not been married for very long, but you mention nothing about your family, your wife's family and exactly what your "travel history" is.

Since you're young yet, probably recently married and have no children then the government certainly going to see those as being very tied to your family. An older, married person with children would probably be seen as being more independent and less tied to their parents. I think here too, the government is going to look at your family ties in a negative way, rather thinking that if you were to be given Permanent Resident Status that very soon you would be applying to bring either your family, or your young wife's family over to Canada too. Right now the government is in the process of making that much more difficult.

Not knowing anything about your travel history it is impossible to comment on that, but if you've travelled to Afghanistan India, Iran, Iraq, Jordan or Siria lately that might in itself be the problem. While I don't really like to say it the Canadian government is under lots of pressure from the USA government to make it more difficult for individuals either from those countries or show a history of visits to them to come into Canada, which would give them easier access into the USA. Considering that Canada is a much smaller nation in population and has strong economic and family ties to the USA the Canadian government is going along with that request.

Also your bank account is something that is not favorable to you either. If you had a much greater balance and could show historically that it was that high for a prolonged period the government would veiw that in a much more positive light. The reason being that with a low bank balance the government is concerned that should you be given Permanent Resident Status and not be able to find work immediately, your funds will run out and you would need public assistance. A much larger balance would sustain you and your wife for a longer period during which you would be more likely to find employment.

It's unlikely that you would be granted a visa so soon after being rejected for the reasons you were given. I would suggest that you wait a considerable length of time for some major life change, such as the birth of a child, the marriage to have a longer duration, etc., and refrain from travel outside Pakistan especially to the Middle East. Then you might have more success with a visa application.

I'm sorry to say that under the circumstances you mention there really isn't much hope in getting any kind of favorable decision from Canada regarding immigration for some time yet.

Thank you so much for your long/detailed reply its really much appreciated. About my marriage yes you are right I have not been married for very long. I just married in December, 2012 and  was applied to spend my honeymoon in Canada. and About our travel history we never traveled any of country yet. and About bank statement I will try to improve it but how about if I show my friend's Bank Statement who is sponsoring me to Canada if I show he's bank statement as financial support document then what do you think will it work for us ?

And you also not told me about the properties as I told you we have a big house, land, and a family farm here so how should I show them ? but the problem is that all properties are on my father's name but as I am kid of my father I have share in all of these properties.

Thanks waiting for reply.

Sonu if you are going coming to Canada to live for a long run or need apartment on rent you can contact me.

Hello Rony Mikal, Thank you for your reply could please give me your skype id I would like to discuss with you in detail. or please add me. My skype id: sonu.ahmad

Thanks

Hi Sonu,

The Canadian government is not interested in what you "might" inherit and own some day in the future. What they look at are the assets you have right now, so any properties in the name of your father mean nothing to them. What they look at is what is in your name only.

As far as the sponsor and his bank account, again not of much interest to the government.

As I mentioned in my first posting, the very best thing you can do is wait a while, you will be older, your marriage of a longer duration, perhaps a child, your savings will accumulate more and then re-apply at a later date. I'm sure that if you do that you will have much greater chances of success. Honestly, you will be wasting your time trying to re-apply now. Any new application, if not reviewed by exactly the same visa officer, will most likely be judged according to the decisions made by the original officer who already turned down your application.

Thanks again wjwoodward,

Could you please tell me how about If I apply for work permit ? will it work for me ?

The work permit is part of the visa/immigration process... without the visa you don't get a work permit.

Being a Canadian for the past 40 yrs, I have been reading this forum with interest. Different advice is given which makes no sense to me.
To all those who wish to emigrate to Canada, I would strongly suggest you visit Canada Govt. website, and go to " emigrate to canada", which will give you all the relevant info!
To my knowledge, there is still a "Point System" in effect in order to qualify to emigrate to Canada. You can fill in that dummy form to see if you qualify. I would not waste my money going through any agencies in other countries.
This dummy form will tell you if you score enough points to qualify. If you don't qualify, don't even apply because it costs money to apply, and this fee is non-refundable.
Bearing in mind, there are some countries which the Canadian Govt. takes long to process the applications.. I don't want to mention these countries..
Speaking and Writing English is a must, you will be interviewed.
Knowing French is a big asset since Canada is bi-lingual.
Hope this helps to a few who are planning to move to Canada.
( Believe me, there is no short cut ).

Hello firoznanji,

Thanks for your excellent posting. You are right, the best first step for anyone is to go to the Citizenship and Immigrations Canada website and go through the online process to see if they qualify. Yes, there is still a point system and I doubt that CIC will ever change that. Regarding delays in processing some applications from certain countries, firstly that exists everywhere since most nations have different immigrations rules for each country. I also think that in Canada it has a lot to do with pressure from the USA to make it more difficult for citizens of some countries to immigrate to Canada, which would give them much easier access to the USA. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or bad thing, but I certainly am not pleased that the Canadian government in any way allows the USA to dictate our immigration policies, regardless of what their concerns are and whether or not they are justified in having those concerns. I hope that our government will wake up and understand that we're not the 51st state.

Hi there,
William James Woodward has shown the website in his reply.
Originally I am from Tanzania, moved to Edmonton in early 70's.Got fed up with the extreme cold weather ( having experienced - 35 deg C), moved to UK and lived there for 16 yrs.
Presently I live in Maputo, Mozambique. Lovely weather, fresh food,and relaxed life.
Now I refuse to live in North America, it makes me wonder why so many people are so anxious to move there.
Now contemplating to move to Thailand. Been there twice, and I love it. Planning to retire there.
Look elsewhere, there are other wonderful countries which you can make your home.
Good Luck.
