It's 52%. That actually explains the onslaught on my office, where even having two full-time people looking at casework just isn't enough.
I looked at the list of what officers must be satisfied about. When I look at it, I'm also forced to ask you this question. What do you see as the risks that prevent visa officers from granting visas compared to, let's say as an example, a daughter being turned down to attend her mother's funeral?
I'm going to get very specific here without naming the person, because she represents a pattern. She's leaving two children behind, her husband behind, and her extended family behind, but she has four sisters and a brother over here. The response says the reason she will not return is that she has too many family ties in Canada.
We're often bombarded with those types of responses. Tell me, what do you see as the risks of granting visas for funerals, weddings, and family events?
