Sorry to know that visa rejection news. As my thought visa process fully
depends on the embassy. It's not guaranteed any chapter even WMF to ensure
that If they provide invitation letter that means anyone got a visa!
I may share my last Wikimania Mexico experience at this point. Mexico
Embassy not available in Bangladesh and If we need Mexico visa we need to
visit India. But It's not good for me to go India for a visa so that I
follow different ways. I informed that If I have a valid USA visa then I
may enter Mexico. So I go to USA embassy and I submit all documents
provided by Wikimedia Mexico. I am lucky enough I got USA visa and attend
Wikimania Mexico. In the same time, one of my fellow Wikipedian go to India
for Mexico visa and got rejected. After back I suggest him to apply for the
USA via using same documents and submits. And finally, we both got USA visa
and attend Wikimania Mexico.
What exactly I point that, In my many International conferences attend
experience I see, Visa processing fully depend on the particular embassy.
Its totally depend on them if they provide visa or not. But the documents
may help to get visa easily.

I suggest you direct your questions to

requests were managed by an international team. You will get better answers
than on this mailing list I think.

Hi,
I don't understand that how WMCA directed by WMF about the VISA
invitation? In visa application, there must have an invitation for Canada,
otherwise it would reject. We are applying Visa to Canada, but invitation
comes from USA. This is a foolish decision made by WMF. As per my
knowledge in every year, every visa applicant for Wikimania, got their
invitation from hosting countries.
Regards,
Jayanta
