本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛and it seems that they have knowledge of this issue though they asked her to reapply .

Anyhow, Good lesson, i belive whenevr we encounter any social injustice , mistreatement in canada, we are deserving of statutory authority to complain ,appeal or at least should ask for explanation. This is a country of democracy and respect.

i am here to give you all the correspondence between me and consulate office since last night .

Hope it would be of some use to any of you in the same situation.





Dear Consul

Thanks for your detailed information provided below.

When I first wrote to you yesterday , I was truly not happy with the decision made on my parent's application. However, your professionalism reflected in anwering my query and concern respecting the matter of application in such an efficient manner assured me that you were delivering and would continue to provide the high-quality consulate service to the public .

I am sorry for my mother's unexpected visa refusal, however, I currently strongly believe that you are observing your due diligence and care when exercising the administrative power granted by the ACT in a Consulate Office oversea. As such, on her new application, I would well guide her on how to supplement any of insufficient personal information in compliance with the ACT as indicated on her refusal letter.

Thank you for all your assistance and time on my query in regards to my mother's visa application and please accept my sincere apology for any inconvenience caused given on your high business volume.

Have a wonderful day.

Your Sincerely

Dear Sir/Madam,


The refusal letter will provide the applicant with the reason for the Visa Officer's decision, this is the only information on the refusal that will be provided by our office. If the applicant wish to have more specific information please go to the Department of Justice Canada's access to information request procedures: http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/pi/atip-aiprp/use-uti.html. As explained in below email, due to Canadian Privacy Legislation, our office is unable to disclose any personal information of applicant without prescribed authorization found on file.


It is not our department's practice to release the name of the decision-maker given the large volumes of applications we must process each day. If the applicant has concerns that the decision was not procedurally fair, I will follow up these issues personally since client service is very important to our office.

For our office's opening hours to public, kindly consult the following web link for details: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/china-chine/visas/shanghai/contact-contactez.aspx?lang=eng.

You can also consult the following link as to when Visa offices in China is closed for holidays for this calendar year: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/china-chine/visas/beijing-pekin/notices-avis.aspx?lang=engour

Thank you for your co-operation.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your prompt inquiry, so the onus is on the applicant to satisfy the visa officer that she would be a bona fide temporary visitor. I will instruct the applicant to provide you with more supporting information and documents to satisfay this conditions according to the ACT.

I have another question in regards to the correspondence I received from my parent. Is it normal that the formal business letter from visa section has bore no officer's printed name and looks very informal as opposed to any formal and legitimate correspondence received from the government agency. Is the applicant entitled to the full name disclosure of visa officer in charge of the case. Though i quite understand that once the file is closed, the venue of appeal does not exist.

Is the "anonymity" in this form related to some rights of indemnification specially granted to any diplomatic officer by applicable Act .As a canadian citizen, I am fully aware of any of my personal rights , intestes being fully protected .

Your reply to my further inquiry is highly appreicated .

By the way, what is your office hour for visa application in shanghai Consulate office, is office open Tuesday on June 14th which is a statutory holiday in china.
