Citizenship Canada: Visitor Visa and Toronto Man

citizenship canada: Since 2015 the Toronto man has made three failed attempts to help Ofelia Chavez Ruiz obtain a visitor visa to see him and his wife but could not figure out the reasons for the rejections, which occurred despite documentation showing the 76-year-old woman's strong ties and desire to return to her homeland, according to Toronto Star. However, Campbell-Durufle said a recent response from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to an MP on his family's behalf might have explained the realreason for the decisions.

In previous rejection letters, officials had only cited the woman's lack of travel history, wealth and a purpose for the visit, as well as her ties to Canada through her daughter, as reasons for the refusals.
