“I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada.”
This is the standard refusal reason that separates thousands of families every year. Whether you are inviting a parent for a long-term stay or a relative for a wedding, the burden of proof is on you to prove they will return home.
At Cambria Law, we don’t just write invitation letters. We build legal submission packages that proactively address the officer’s concerns regarding financial stability, home ties, and travel history—before they have a chance to say no.
1. The Super Visa (Parents & Grandparents)
The 5-Year Stay Solution.
The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to 5 consecutive years (with a 10-year visa validity). However, the financial and insurance requirements are strictly enforced.
How We Secure Approval:
-
The “LICO” Audit: We review your Notice of Assessment (NOA) and T4s to ensure you meet the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) for your family size. If you are self-employed or borderline, we structure your financial evidence to prevent a rejection based on “inability to support.”
-
Medical Insurance Compliance: We verify that your private insurance policy ($100,000 minimum coverage) meets the specific legislative requirements for the Super Visa before you pay the premium.
2. Visitor Visas (TRV) for High-Risk Cases
When a “Standard” Application Isn’t Enough.
If your guest is from a country with a high refusal rate, a simple invitation letter is often not enough. We handle complex cases involving:
-
Previous Refusals: We analyze the GCMS notes from the last refusal and write a legal submission addressing every specific concern raised by the previous officer (e.g., “Purpose of Visit” or “Family Ties”).
-
“Dual Intent” Applicants: Do you have a Spousal Sponsorship in process? We argue Dual Intent legally, proving that your spouse has the right to visit you while their permanent residence application is processing.
3. The “Legal” Invitation Letter
More Than Just a “Welcome.”
We draft professional invitation letters that serve as legal affidavits of support.
-
The Financial Guarantee: We clearly outline who pays for food, housing, and medical costs, backed by bank statements.
-
The Itinerary: We create a logical travel plan that justifies the length of stay (e.g., explaining why a 6-month visit is necessary for a newborn grandchild), removing the “vagueness” that leads to refusals.
Don’t Let a Refusal Keep You Apart.
Reuniting with family shouldn’t be a gamble. Ensure your application is refusal-proof.
