Hi everyone, need your insights kasi sobrang confused and honestly ang sakit lang ng refusal ko 😭
Timeline(2026):
April 20 – Submitted via IRCC
April 20 – Biometrics request received
April 24 – Biometrics completed
May 2 – Refusal letter
Akala ko talaga strong na profile ko, pero na-refuse ako mainly because:
--Not enough proof of family ties
--No proof of flight and hotel bookings
Nalulungkot talaga ako kasi I thought okay na yung docs ko, and 1 week visit lang naman yung plan ko with approved leave pa from work.
Profile ko:
4 years employed (stable job)
COE with approved leave
600k bank balance + 400k ADB
Submitted bank certs + statements
Travel history: Schengen visa + multiple Japan & Korea visas - been to 16 countries, lahat naka attach sa snubmit ko sa IRCC
May house loan + car (ORCR submitted)
Submitted mom’s birth cert + senior ID (siya lang immediate family ko)
Wala kasi akong tatay and wala rin akong kapatid—mom ko lang talaga.
Now I’m overthinking and need insights please:
-- san kaya ako nagkulang? Yung flight and hotel itineraries lang kaya tlaga?
-- Pwede ko ba i-include na I’m supporting my mom financially? (kahit wala akong affidavit na na-submit before) - hindi ko na alam anong documents pa needeD dito kasi birth cert n mommy andon na s snubmit ko tapos nasa cover letter din na ako nagssupport, breadwinner ako s bahay ksi lahat ng bills ako na
-- I saw sa fb group for CA Visa, na they included photos ng pets, I have 10 cats, and the reason why 1 week lang ung travel plan ko to Canada kasi I cant stay away for too long kasi last Europe travel ko umiiyak ako sa flight because of my cats, sobrang sepanx ko talaga, out of context na pero I'm feeding all the cats sa subdivision nag iikot ako everyday para makahelp sa mga strays - so aun lang sobrang attached ko s cats ko kaso baka hndi sya iacknowledge as ties
Again, I didn’t include:
flight reservation
hotel bookings
Kasi akala ko hindi required unless approved na (lesson learned 🥲)
Questions:
Ano pa kaya kulang sa profile ko?
Paano ko mas mapapatunayan yung “strong ties to home country”?
Worth it pa ba mag reapply agad or wait muna?
Any advice would really help. Hindi ko alam if malas lang ba sa officer or may mali talaga sa application ko.
Thank you
