Hello, Aj355! I think the Counterfoil Document Number is the visa itself and the expiration is in 2018. I received the same status in my account. I applied via paper application. The expiration of my Counterfoil Document is on July 1, 2022, just one day before the expiration of my passport. All...

Thank you again, Bryanna! Indeed, my application is one year in the making ha ha but all worth it. I followed the tips you are giving on this forum like presenting daily itinerary with estimate expenses and providing a letter that covered everything about myself, my employment, my ties here, my...

My first post on this forum was on 8 July 2016 in preparation for my visa application this year. I finally submitted my application last 21 July 2017 via paper application and final decision came out yesterday, 1 August 2017. The people I mentioned on the title of this thread were the ones who...

Wow! Amazing. I also got an e-mail from CIC yesterday stating that my application has been updated. Upon checking my account, my status had changed to "Your application was approved". Truly, praise God! Your in-laws and I have the same timeline. I will just have to wait the VFS's e-mail if my...

Hello, Ronjames! I also got the same message earlier on my account. I applied via paper application and linked it on my account. On my account it also stated the Counterfoil Document Number and valid until July 1, 2022. I still have to wait for my passport though. Congratulations to you and to...

Thank you for your responses. My purpose of visit are "family visit and tourism". I am from the Philippines :) The documents I submitted were: 1. Cover letter; 2. My Certificate of Membership to the BAR since I am a lawyer by profession; 3. I have a booked flight in November to Vietnam and...

Hello, everyone! I just want to know if my visa application has been approved? I submitted my paper application last July 21 and successfully linked it online last July 25. Earlier, I received an e-mail from cic.gc.ca saying that my application has been updated. Upon checking my account, there...

I think that's ok. I did the same thing. I was the one who drafted the invitation letter because my personal details must be included in the letter then have my Uncle and Aunt signed it. I just asked their personal details because their details are also needed to be written down in the letter :)

No worries and good luck with the application. God bless :)

If he has less money in his account and no travel history, experienced people here in the forum always suggest to limit the requested stay to 2-3 weeks for a better chance of approval. :)

Ok. How many weeks did he intend to stay in Canada for this trip?

He doesn't have any money of his own?

Where is your boyfriend from? I am from the Philippines and yes living in a 3rd world country can be a problem in getting a visa but not impossible with proper documentation. No one is supporting me for my intended trip to Canada. Though I will be staying with my Uncle and Aunt. They provided an...

This is also not a good idea. Well in some cases here it worked when the applicant explained in a letter where the money came from but I would prefer to have the money be owned and saved by your boyfriend.

I am about to mention that too, that a random family will accommodate and pay for everything for him. The financial support documents you see in the checklist are the documents your boyfriend must provide because these documents will prove his economic ties to his country. In my case, I provided...

Hello! I agree with Scylla! I applied for TRV recently and I have researched about all the Do's and Dont's in applying for a TRV. Your boyfriend must prove that he has sufficient funds to pay for his trip. His own money. What you can provide is an invitation letter indicating that you can...

Yes. From the recent experiences I have read who applied from the Philippines, some received their results 2 months after. God willing, your in-laws and I will not have to wait that long. Will keep you posted with my application's progress. God bless :)

Yes. I received also a text message from VFS. I read in another forum a case wherein she submitted her paper application on July 2 and received only one e-mail from VFS then nothing. She just received an e-mail from CIC on the 21st saying that her passport is already for dispatched by the...

Hello, Gemz0212! I also submitted my paper application in Makati VFS office last July 21 and used my Visa debit card for payment. I haven't received e-mail yet from the CIC though I have received an e-mail from VFS Global basically just informing me that my application is already being processed...

This is noted, Bella! Thank you again for the reply. :)
