A student who recently completed his Master’s Abroad invited both parents and a younger sister to his convocation. As his family applied for a visitor visa, he was met with a rejection and then an approval after reconsideration.
The father had a full-time job, funds of around 22,000 CAD, and properties to show. Yet, all three, father, mother, and sister, were rejected initially.

People think it’s because of weak finances and not enough ties to return home. However, the student then applied for reconsideration, only for the father, which got approved. But the mother, who is a homemaker with no job or property, was left behind.
Now the student faces a dilemma. Should he reapply for the mother or go for reconsideration again? The original travel date is long gone, and the convocation has been pushed to October.

Experts commenting on the case say reconsideration won’t help now and reapplying is the only option. But it won’t be easy.
Since the mother has no income or assets of her own, she has nothing to prove she’ll return. Shifting money into her name now will only raise suspicion. Even the student’s salary in Canada won’t count, because the mother isn’t a dependent.
