Thanks.
I was in Brampton last weekend. I was visiting extensively with members of the South Asian community from Punjab, in particular, and from Vancouver, and I can tell you, and I'm sure you may know this, that it is an absolute common report to hear that their relatives are being turned down for visitor visas, and they don't know why. There can't possibly be any real reason, in many cases, from their point of view.
They're people who own land. They're people who have relatives there. They're people who have bank accounts. Yet they get rejection letters, and they don't understand why.
It's happening, I must tell you, and from my point of view, far too often to be explained as just a one-off kind of situation.
What could explain an approval rate of 80% in New Delhi and an approval rate of 47%—almost half of that—in Chandigarh, in the same country?
Is there no fraud or forgery or people trying to fool the system in New Delhi, but there is in Chandigarh?
