Hi,

I am applying for my fathers visit visa to Canada from Pakistan as i am in Canada right now on WPermit. We are calling here on the basis of some medical reason so many people have told us that your case is very strong he will get it.

Everything seems to be fine there is only one problem with the bank statement.

We recently decided to sell the property which has been going for the last two three months, Token money was accepted to reserve the property. the amount is around 20lacs. we also signed affidavit for it and a receipt which is I think legal to do.

so what's the problem ??

problem is if we show that we are selling the property it shows less tie as its the only property so it makes the case week.

We were thinking to show that money as Inheritance ? do you think its the right idea to do?

Please advice. Many thanks.

You'll need to convince IRCC that the medical treatment which your dad seeks is not available in Pakistan/in another country that's closer to where he is + your dad has the financial resources to cover the cost of the treatment.

I'm not sure how property deals work in Pakistan. An affidavit is not considered as an intention to sell/buy a property because it may not be enforceable/the property deal can be cancelled at a later date.

Ideally, the token amount should have been accepted against a 'Pre-sale Agreement'.

It would also help if the token amount was paid by checks/bank transfers + if the pre-sale agreement is registered with the land registry/government for property registrations (stamp duty paid).

Your assumption is correct because property is an economic reason to return to the home country. However, there are other strong ties (employment, family, good financial situation, etc)

I don't see how the token amount for the pre-sale of the property can be considered as an inheritance..... unless your parents are selling their property to your grandparents!! I'm sure this is not the case.

It's never a good idea to apply for visas by giving false information as it could result in 5-years ban for misrepresentation

Hi

Thanks for the reply,

Sorry I think you mis understood.

My Father will visit us on visit visa , he is not ill. the What I was trying to say is we will call them by giving the reason that we have medical emergency here that will need surgery so we need someone here to help us and for that I got the Surgeon's letter which is genuine letter off course.That we will attached with the application.

Also I am not trying to give an impression here that we doing anything illegal or wrong its just there is money in the account which will need explanation and if we explain the reason that the money is due to the house sale it goes against us as it shows less ties.

Thanks for the detail reply.

You were not clear about who needs the medical treatment. Anyway.

This purpose of visit may not work as IRCC is likely to view it as working without authorization while on a TRV.


Also I am not trying to give an impression here that we doing anything illegal or wrong its just there is money in the account which will need explanation and if we explain the reason that the money is due to the house sale it goes against us as it shows less ties.
But, of course, it would be 'illegal and wrong'. Your dad would be falsely declaring the token amount for the property as an *inheritance* when it is not.

IRCC would pick up on this because it won't be possible to trace the source of the token amount deposit/transaction in the bank statement to an immediate relative from whom it was *inherited*, etc. Hope the token amount was not given to your parents as cash.

It's your call though if you still want to falsely state this token amount as an *inheritance*..... and risk a TRV refusal + a ban for misrepresentation
