hi, im applying to visit my sister which is canadian PR, im going with my spouse and 2 kids, for myself i selected "im visiting sibling" option and for spouse and kids i chose visit other family or friends, for them i need to upload invitation letter but for myself i could not find any place to upload invitation letter. I also could not find a place to upload documents regarding my employment letter or any other documents to support my ties to my current country of residence. should i just proceed with the current application and wait for officer to request for additional documents?
If I were you, I would add the documents that you think will support your application to the additional documents section.

That is crazy fast, just one week. Did they give Biometrics on February 26 ?

I think they are just looking at the new portal for visitor, transit and study visas.
Nope. I was under the same impression but they are processing GCKey as well. Just got my parents visa from GCKey last week.

I am applying for TRV with my parents for tourism purpose and the intended stay would be of 2 weeks. All of us have US B1/B2 visa. I have the following queries, and the more I talk to people about these, I am getting more confused... Any help would be god sent.
Do we need to show the return flight tickets?
Do we need to show hotel bookings? (No immediate family in Canada)
I am hoping that 9,000 CAD in liquid cash in bank account and 18,000 CAD as FD is sufficient as poof of fund, if not please let me know....

Thanks

A Silent follower of this forum:

Applied for my in-laws from Pakistan (outside Canada) - me and my wife became the sponsors. (we both are PR)

Applied January 24, 2022
Biometrics done and updated on the portal as at January 28, 2022
Eligibility Started from February 1st week (not sure exactly when)
PPR for mother in law March 10
PPR for father in law - not yet (hoping to get soon as all the documents i applied were combined eg combined bank statements with running balance of CAD25K for 4 months)

I did not attach my bank statements but attached our PR cards, Employment letter/salary certificate, utility bills etc

Hope will get father in law's visa soon..

Hi guys I am applying for my parent's visit visa but there is no option/separate tab for financial documents. Not sure where to upload them. Should I include them in invitation letter itself? Or maybe in "other documents" in optional documents? I chose myself as sponsor. Apologies for the low quality image, was capturing details on video. Thanks

Also, one more question. I have I moved to Canada 4 weeks back on work permit, PR in processing. I have employment verification letter, 2 payslips but no bank statement yet but an official letter from Canadian Bank about my financial standing and my Indian bank statement of 3 month (has around 20,000 CAD cash). My parents have around 16,000 CAD of savings, father has pension every month and house in India at 220,000 CAD. They have valid US B1/B2 (As it is question in Canada application) and have visited US 3 times for few weeks in last 5 years. Where does my application stand, some people said Canada visit visa is erratic.

I got a refusal letter twice for my MIL tourist visa. First time applied in Oct 2021 and got refusal in Feb 2022. 3 Reason for refusal were you won't leave canada based on purpose of travel, ties to Canada and ties to home country.
I applied again and got refusal on Mar 11 stating she wouldn't return based on 1 Reason purpose of travel.
I am currently pregnant and we used that as well as reunite with family after 3 yrs as Reason of travel. She was granted 10 yr visa in 2018 bt the passport was expired so we are applying again and she has visited Canada before as well

Could someone please help with the purpose of travel used on an approved application?
Thank you

Order GCMS notes. Don’t reapply until you have the notes because she has two quick refusals. How long was the visit? Does she have family in home country/job/property/investments? If you are pregnant, what did you say because you asking her to visit may have come across as work/help while you are pregnant.

I was thinking of ordering GCMS notes as well. For pregnancy I just stated that she will be helping with the new born , also attend her grandson's birthday in May and meet her sons as it has been 3 yrs since she had met them. She has a job back home and property and investments as well. All of which was given as documents.
I guess we will wait for my delivery and provide the birth certificate and give the reason of just reuniting with family instead of help with newborn.
