e-1794 (Issuance of visas)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Canada must assess Temporary Resident Visa applications equally, using the established criteria, including the purpose of the person’s trip, their economic situation, and their links to their country of origin;
- Applications must be processed on a case-by-case basis, given the opportunity to applicants to present their cases by providing documentary evidence and any other relevant information to support it; and
- The monthly number of rejected Temporary Resident Visa applications from Venezuela has increased exponentially since the political and economic crisis started deepening, resulting in the refusal of 216 applications in November 2016; 634 in June 2017; 468 in March 2018. The increase seems to continue in an exponential manner.
