Refused 3 times to visit my wife

[bremen_eine]

Hi guys,
Could anyone advice me on the the next step to follow. My wife is presently studying in canada and I have applied 3 times to visit her and my applicaton was refused. The first refusal stated that I didnt have enough ties in canada and in the UK where I am presently living with a temporary resident visa after my studies. They also queried my purpose of visit. So, my inlaw ie my wife's uncle decided to send me a letter of invitation and sponsorship to take care of my expenses and accomodation and he tried to explain to the canadian embassy in the UK the need for me to come over to visit my wife since she is pregnant at the moment.After sending in my application for the second time, i was refused again stating my purpose of visit and my ties in Canada and UK. So he decided to meet his MP who later sent a letter to the embassy to request for the main reason why I was refused despite fulfiling all the requirements. They later faxed a letter to him stating that I was not reliable that I didnt disclose to them that my wife was pregnant. I was like my wife was not asked for any medicals and also there was no place on the form where it was written to declare any medicals or etc. So the MP wrote a letter on behalf of myself and my inlaw, I was also asked to get a letter from my place of work, letter from my landlord and also a letter from my vicar in the church for a letter of recommendation and also to show my trustworthiness. So I sent back my application and to my greatest surprise, I was refused again and this time around, they said they were not sure if I will leave canada for UK or my home country Ghana which they dont think I have any ties there... So after I spoke to my inlaw, I was told to get a proof from my home country maybe thru a lawyer to convince the embassy that I have properties back home in Ghana which I inherited from my late father.
I need an advice and the next step to follow because my wife is really in pains, trying to cope with her academics and she will be due to give birth by the end of this month and she really needs my presence and my assistance.
Please I need an advice and a way forward. I look forward to hearing from you guys soonest.
Best regards,
Eme

It always looks dodgy when someone on a (student/temporary) visa is expecting a baby and her spouse wants to 'visit' his family. Even in the UK the refusal rates for such circumstances (married couple, one in the UK the other just wanting to 'visit') are often high for certain countries.

You should make another application, with bank statements, a letter from your company, salary slips, a letter from your university, information about the visa you are on (is it the PGS? How long is it valid for?) and a clear letter explaining your intentions. If you have visited other countries and left on time, that might be worth demonstrating.

Unfortunately, it might be a uphill battle with three refusals.

hi sakura,
thanx for the observation.
i have been living in the UK since 2004... I was formally in Germany where I lived for three years and studied there as well and after I finished my studies there, I relocated to the UK. I have travelled to loads of EU countries and also I have visited the united states and I have a valid 2yrs USA visa... I am just wondering with all my travel history, they still found me not credible.. It really sucks...

Looks like they have made up their mind so unles you can make a persuasive argument to explain that you will leave the country after your visit, dumping loads of letters on them is not going to make a difference

So you are eilgible for ILR in 2009? If so, you should point this out.

However, the crux of the issue is that she is a student (full-time) and she is due to give birth. They probably want to know how she could possibly continue studying with a newborn without any help....

To be honest, I would be wondering the same thing.
