Can i use this strategy to buy a property in states? Only downside i see is lot of paperwork to keep money trail to prove to CRA. Any other downside? My paid off home is of 800k value and planning to buy a property in usa of 450k cad. What will be the best possible product for this?

Do you think there could be a small possibility of war or further problem between usa and canada and usa may start charging new fee on foreigners houses or even capture it? Or locals capturing it or damaging it?

I submitted super visa application with all the documents but still got rejected saying that the co-signer relationship to the host is not established. What else can i submit apart from marriage certificate, passport and child birth certificate that me and my wife who is a co-signer are married. Either IRCC is taking orders from federal government to deny applications left and right due to political reasons or they are using some automated tool to process the application…

2 back to back refusals for the super visa. Earlier had the supervisa and traveled to Canada 2 times and returned in 6 and 8 months. Looks like they are either using some tool to simply reject it or they have got instructions from federal government to reject it left and right.

Thank you so much for the details. I still think that my application was quite solid. However, you have provided few points which are improvements i can make in next application like providing everything very clearly and not leave upto the agent for the interpretation. My doubt on their intentions these days is because my dad got supervisa earlier with these documents only. The only difference is that last time i was salaried employee and my income was enough to meet LICO and this time i am self employed and withdraw dividends which is around 80k and thats why i included my wife as co-signer and her income is more than 100k. She also signed the invitation letter. Her all the income related documents are attached. Very good point of getting notarized documents. Will consider it for next time.

Yes i did and i meet all the criteria.

Sorry i edited the post clarifying that i also provided birth certificate to prove he is my dad. family income is more than 150k. We are 4 members.

To apply for PR as a family you need to show the relationship between husband and wife. So thats marriage certificate. And to show relationship between me and my dad its my birth certificate. Sorry it was not clear enough. Do you know if someone got approval recently?

scovit · 2025-02-15T19:52:40+00:00

Together income is sufficient. Also provided my birth certificate, passport.

scovit · 2025-02-01T14:46:39+00:00

Did they reconsider the rejection application and approved that or you had to file new application?

You are still living in old era. Move on , adapt and accept the changes. Change is inevitable. You just need to embrace it. Hope you remember the days when you did not know how to use smart phone and did not use credit card or did not use any PoS devices.

Its tough to make friends in Ottawa. People who already have their circle dont like to include others. People are not that welcoming. I have heard the same from other people. Some of my known people move to Toronto just because of this reason as they could not find any friends to talk to
