Canada · Temporary Resident Visa
Canada visit visa, from Pakistan.
The most common Canadian visa — and the most commonly refused. Most of the refusals we see were avoidable with the right file.
What it actually is
A visa to visit — not a route to stay
A temporary resident visa lets you visit Canada: family, tourism, business meetings, a conference. It is not a work permit and not a path to staying — and applying as though it were is one of the reliable ways to be refused.
Be wary of anyone quoting you an “approval rate”
Visitor-visa approval rates move from year to year, and IRCC does not publish a Pakistan-specific figure at all. So anyone who quotes you a precise “approval rate for Pakistanis” is repeating a number they cannot source. What decides your case is not a statistic — it is how well your application answers the one doubt in the officer’s mind.
One
question underneath
Everything the officer reads is evidence for or against a single question: will this person go home?
Evidence
over assertion
Most people assemble documents. The ones who get approved build an argument the officer can follow.
You
not a statistic
No published rate decides your case. One officer, reading your file, asking one question — that does.
What the officer is really asking
“Will this person go home?”
One question sits underneath the whole application. Your job, your property, your family, your bank statements, your travel history — all of it is evidence for or against that one thing.
Where Pakistani applications fall down
The five ways a strong case still gets refused
None of these is about a missing document. Each is about an argument that doesn’t hold together when the officer reads it.
Bank statements
Money that appeared last month
Whose funds
Funds in someone else’s name
The trip itself
A trip that doesn’t add up
Ties to home
Ties asserted, not evidenced
Consistency
Documents that contradict each other
What it takes
How we put your file together
A visit visa is won or lost before it is filed. Here is what the work actually looks like.
- 1
We look before you apply
You tell us about the trip, the money, the ties, and any refusal by any country. We tell you honestly whether the file is ready — or what has to change first.
- 2
We build the argument
Not a folder of documents, a case. Every payslip, letter and statement is there to answer the one question the officer is actually asking.
- 3
We file it properly
The right forms, the right supporting letter, the right order — put in front of the officer the way it should be, so nothing avoidable trips it up.
If you’re in the Gulf
Apply from where you live — we handle the Pakistan side
Many of the people we work with apply from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman or Qatar. It changes the file: your residency status, your employer letter, your salary transfers and your police certificate all come from where you live, not from Pakistan — while parts of your history are still Pakistani.
You stay where you are. We handle the Pakistan side.
One file, two countries
We build the file so the two halves of your life line up: a Gulf residency and salary that hold, and Pakistani ties that read as genuine reasons to return. Handled together, not as an afterthought.
Already refused?
Then don’t reapply yet — start somewhere else
The letter you received doesn’t tell you the real reason — the officer’s actual notes are in a separate file you are entitled to request. Reapplying without reading them is guessing, and a second refusal makes the third attempt harder.

Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?
What approval rate does Canada have for visit visas?
The bank balance is really the whole thing?
Can I apply from the Gulf instead of Pakistan?
My visa was already refused — should I just reapply?
