    TRV approved, does online status indicate Visa expiry date?

    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...

The people I mentioned on the title of this thread were the ones who...

    Proof of financial support...

    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 :)

    Proof of financial support...

    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. :)

No one is supporting me for my intended trip to Canada. Though I will be staying with my Uncle and Aunt. They provided an...

    Proof of financial support...

    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.

    Proof of financial support...

    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...

    Proof of financial support...

    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...
