Value of the properties for home country ties?

You need to get valuation reports from a chartered surveyor. There's a standard they need to follow so don't worry about the format. Just make sure that they have experience and make sure that your parents' name are mentioned as the owners.
What's wrong with including his father's properties? He will eventually inherit them and it does show that he has a home to come back to and other properties to look after in case something happens to his father.
I appreciate all your contributions on this forum, but I think you all need to keep an open mind rather than have a know-it-all mindset.
Immigration agents advice to include parent properties and it makes a lot of sense, especially when the applicant is quite young.
Assume you are speaking from experience. Property is not a strong tie. Inheriting property can be sold without every returning to home country. For a young person, most likely he/she will not inherit for many years beyond the planned study timelines. It can be used as a tie but it is not a strong one. Strong ties are family (spouse and children), job opportunities, investments and properties in that person’s name.
It's better for him to include his father's properties than nothing at all if he doesn't have any property of his own. There are people who got rejected in their first attempt, but when they reapplied and included proof of their parent's properties, their visa got approved.
It shows the visa officer that if he doesn't make it in Canada, he won't end up on the streets homeless. He will have a home in his country to go back to.
Nothing wrong asking question to assertain applicant situation….Immigration doesnt have “eventually inherit assumption”, and something can also happen to a child before a father, lets not assume one should decease first for someone to inherit
Please read my last comment. It goes beyond inheritance. I've seen it make a difference in applications so I'm not going to bother arguing with you.
Is son a dependant child as per the definition of dependant and is this his first undergraduate program or post graduate? What is his age group?
OP, I believe from posts, graduated with a bachelor in 2016 so no longer a dependant. So properties in his parents name are really not a tie if OP is mid-20s with an established career.
Your profile is very inconsistent. You mention completing a Bachelor's program in Finance last year, but you previously mentioned completing a Bachelor's program in IT in 2016. You're currently working on your CPA? You have no work experience in finance? You've studied in the UK? You currently live in Saudi Arabia but you weren't born there? You've been married for over 10 or 20 years? You've tried migrating to Canada years before?
You have a very hard case to build to justify wanting to study in Canada.
I guess we are on the same page… there’s inconsistency and OP is not a dependant to use his parent assets for SP application.
You will learn if you are on the forum for a long period of time that we see many people use one ID for multiple family members with different questions but use the wording “I”. Also you may see those who have an ID and ask different questions on different streams (study, spousal, visitor) who are actually consultants looking for free advice to advise their clients who are paying them. Usually easy to spot especially if you call the person out. It is always a good idea to read through past posts to get an idea of the poster’s past.
