1, in resonse to question "name , adres , relationof any person, or institution i plan to visit", since im going on a short study course what do i have to put in the section ' relationship to me" ??.. there is no relationship b/w me and the institute

If this is mandatory to fill then just fill up your coordinator name or dept sec. name there and give the institute address. You can write student/intern/trainee for relationship.

2, i`m currently in university... so to the question " highest level of post sec. education" what should i write? plus there are asking dates from--to.. i havent graduated how can i write "to"

If you are doing mbbs or equalent, you can write 'graduation'. Mention the start date and if there is some checkbox stating that you are currently doing this then check it otherwise give the future expected date when you will complete your program.

3,"employment section" what should i put in it? never employed? all the current and past educational places? ( school. college, universty)

if you were never employeed, leave it blank or write 'N/A = Not Applicable'
In a reverse order, specify all your educational background, 0program name, institute, dates, etc...

4,I applied for US visa, got rejected..two reason : wrong category and wont return b/c family member in US ....should i mention this? how will it impact my application?

Just be specific to your application. No need give aditional details about the other visa or visa rejections. So don't mention anything about US refusal. But if you applied for Canadian visa before and got rejected then do mention that Canadian one.

5, how to sign the application..after typing and filling on PC and printing ..i have to sign the applctn by using PEN?

if you wish to submit online application then no need to take printout of the form. Just tupe your Full-Name in signature place and press 'validate' button of the form. Save it and upload this file to appropriate place in submitting online application. But if you intend to submit paper based application, then after completing the form, press 'validate' button then take printout of it, sign it and send it through courier.

It is recommended to opt the online submission way.

6, I have no travel history..how badly will it hurt?

Ammm I don't think it will hurt because I know so many people you secured their visas with no travel history.

7, bank account of 30000 CD enough? for finance?

That depends on your tuition that how much is the tuition + living of 1-month. If that 30000CAD is more than sum of tuition and living then it is fine.

8, how to book hotel/room and get its confirmation? ( reasonable price 700cd)

You can check the on-campus residence from university website. Also they usually mention the link that where to look if you wish to live off-campus. Otherwise, simple search for hotels near your university.

9,my medschool transcript aint very good? will it effect?

This may cause issue but I am not sure. I mean can't say anything on that. It depends.
Go ahead and apply.

10,how to make letter support? any idea or sample?

Ammm letter of support is the 'affidavit' i guess. Simple write few point in a word file being your father or mother that my son/daughter name is this, with passort no this, he/she is doing this, have secured admission in this institute, I am allowing him/her to go and study, I will bear all his/her expense for tuition/living/travel/etc..
and now take printout of those point on a stamp paper of worth $1 (100 PKR), ask your father/mother to sign it and then upload the scanned copy of it under place of 'Letter of Support'

11, do i have to fill form 5257 b_1?

Ammm have no access to forms right now so can't say anything that it is about what.

12, should write a cover letter? how long? ideas!!

Simple write 1 page cover letter (3-4 small paragraphs), stating that why you wish to attend this course, how it will help you in your profession, how it will help you in your home country, why you choose Canada for this course bla bla...

thanks usman. your response was helpful.

can you please give me the complete list of documents which i need to get ready.finance, NADRa, family related, education etc ??

i think i will go with the courier method. how to prepare my documents? do i have to put all documents in a file with different sections for the various requirements or will the gerry`s visa service will arrange my documents according to their style? what is the standard procedure for making the application?

Q:well the fee is 300$, which i already paid. lets say 1500 for housing + 1000 for food+ 1500$ for airline tickets ...now 30-40lac pk Rs enough or should i get statements from my DR. uncle in US? my father also has a modest salary so the tax return are not very good .. any advice on the issue?

Are Registered visa consultant good for this purpose?

waiting for your response

Be careful with such a kind advice. The question in the form is about Canada AND OTHER countries (including USA ). So he MUST inform abour USA refusal. However, he can explain in his letter to VO what was the reason.

Ammm I am not totally agree with you.

I have rejection from Australia
I visited Thiland and Malaysia
I have refusal from US
etc...

If being honest then it is good to inform such information but on the other side as there is no in person interaction with visa officer (no interview) so one can come into trouble if he/she not explain the things clearly in his/her SOP about the above info and results can be bad/refusal.
Being a genuine student and fulfilling all the requirements, just go ahead and keep the things as simple as possible.

I am not saying that there is something bad in tell TRUTH but if you failed to explain clearly about all those info in your SOP, you can get the refusal.
So just to be on safe side, "I THINK" one should avoid this kind of extra goodness because as he/she is adopting no wrong way, fulfilling all the requirements so one should avoid making the things more complex.

P.S: I am not saying that you are wrong. Your perspective is also right.

If this is specifically mentioned (including USA ) then there is no second thought. For sure he/she must specify that.
Yes, my bad!

Yes. Read the form. Almost on the bottom of form IMM1294, page 3, para 2,
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1294E.PDF

there is no in person interaction with visa officer (no interview)

Bsht. It is MISREPRESENTATION.

so one can come into trouble

After you lie in the forms you can expect troubles any minute. Especially when appling for PR.

Unfortunately for lairs CIC (and Canada) does not forgive lies. So it can get you any time.

You are not telling any lie. In fact you are telling nothing
But YES, what is wrong is wrong. No second opinion in that. I have accepted it.
