Guys, I wrote to the Lahore VAC regarding some translation of property documents. I was told that I cannot submit property documents for my visa application.

Is this a new rule? If so, how am I to demonstrate ties to my country?

“Wrote regarding some translation of property Documents “ , what do you mean by this?
Did you ask to for translation ?
Or you wanted to submit property documents and they refused?

No, I was asking them if they had any recommendations for translation centers. To which they replied no, they don't have any recommendations.

I replied back asking a question about the affidavit that's required (weather it's ok to submit 1 affidavit for multiple translated property documents). To this they replied "kindly note that property ownership documents cannot be accepted".

Don’t know about lahore VSF but those guys at karachi made me visit three times to submit my case. First time the boy at front desk asked for lot of irrelevant papers (I was applying for whole family) . Next time a sent person scrutinised the Documents and removed all the additional papers that I was asked to bring previously. Fee was submitted but in bio matric there was a problem and we had to to visit third time.
Coming to your case: property documents are obviously an important proof of home tie. But you were expecting the VAC ppl to guide you which they don’t and specially you asked for recommendation about translators.
If I were you I would have got the documents translated from notary public and notarised and submitted. Even now you can upload via webfom I think

Yes, that has been my assessment as well. VAC people are clueless and actually end up making the applicant even more miserable.

Anyway, I was not actually visiting the VAC and instead was trying to gather info via email. My idea was also to get them translated and then notorised.

Your friend is right but its better to show more funds than required if possible. Investors I don’t know but I also heard such investors exist. Try to obtain loan from friends and family members. Even if someone can lend you 10,000 PKR take it. A friend of mine was in need of 20,000 CAD for Canadian immigration, he was also searching for investor but then he started small loans and also liquidating his little investments here n there like prize bonds etc. Ha managed 25000 CAD

Am I gambling with my life by applying to Canada?
Considering your future will be decided by someone who doesn't know you at all, will likely never even meet you in life and the basis for his decision is going to be a couple of documents... the entire visa process for students feels like a gamble at times.

I find it hard to believe that not a single person got their visa, surely there must be someone! Am I gambling with my life by applying to Canada? I think I'm pretty early at 5 months before course starts right?
dont worry dear. hope for the best. 5 months before start is not early at all being a student from Pakistan.

Hi guys,

There has been a change in my portal.The additional documents changed to “we do not need additional documents”.What does this mean? Am I getting closer to Passport request?
