The Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) contain Regulation 179(b) which addresses the need for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) applicant to provide proof of their intention to depart Canada at the conclusion of their approved stay. Based on this rule, a visa officer may reject an application if they have doubts about the applicant’s propensity to overstay their visa.

Uncertain Intent to Return: The immigration officer can be unsure if you really intend to depart Canada. Your visa application may be rejected if it is unclear when you plan to return home.

To persuade the officer that you will return after your stay, you must demonstrate strong ties to your home country, such as a secure job, a family, or property.

If you have a history of overstaying or breaking the terms of your previous visa, it may raise questions about your commitment to adhering to the regulations.

It may be a sign that you intend to overstay if your visit’s purpose is unclear or does not justify the length of your stay.

1. Employment: Provide an employer letter attesting to your position, pay, and anticipated return date.
2. Family: To demonstrate ties to the family, use records such birth or marriage certificates.
3. Property: Present documentation of leasing agreements or ownership of the property.
4. Community Involvement: Showcase your participation in associations or events in your community.

1. Airline Ticket: Include a return ticket and a comprehensive itinerary that includes the dates of your trip.
2. Accommodations: Confirm your accommodations in Canada and make a reservation for your return trip.

1. Strong Bank Statement: Present current bank statements that attest to your ability to pay for your visit and return.
2. Financial Support: If you are traveling with someone else paying for it, make sure you get a notarized letter of support and their evidence of steady income.

1. Write a letter of explanation if you have overstayed in the past, outlining the situation and outlining your approach to resolving any problems.
2. Evidence of Conformance: Demonstrate your compliance with immigration regulations in the past.

1. Purpose Statement: Provide a clear explanation of why you are visiting and why it is temporary.
2. Supporting Documents: Include documents that support your visit’s purpose, like invitation letters or event tickets.
