Yes, Mr. Davies.
I don't think security is the primary reason they are rejecting all the visas. In my view, there is a generic view among all the visa officers in that region. They have some general opinion regarding all the applicants who are applying, that there might be forged documents along with applications, and so on. In my opinion, this is not the case. There are families. There are well-to-do families. There are rich families. They have properties in Punjab, and they have good ties with their home country.
Even then they have the same generic form, the same template they take over and over again: “I'm not satisfied that you will come back after staying in Canada.” I don't really understand how a visa officer can judge a person without proper analysis of that case and a proper interview with that person. The majority of the cases are being rejected even without interviews.
I doubt the visa officers' decisions, because, particularly in that region, there's a general view in the mind of visa officers that they have to reject an application without going through it properly.
