Dear.... Sorry to disturb you..I'll have to create a single pdf in which I must attach all my academic documents, previous work experience documents (eg. Experience certificates, Salary Slips, Offer letter, Appreciation letters, Salary Certificate) - + SOP at the forefront and upload it in the "Client Information " and not in the Optional docs, my apologies for the confusion.
Financial documents (eg. Bank statements, bank certificate), ITRs of my parents & brother and my own ITR, Property evaluation report, CA report - Upload this in the "Proof of Means for Financial Support "
size of the pdf should not exceed more than 4MB - Yes
That's why I am thinking if there is a form for SDS then there should be a form for General Category as well - Online Application does not distinguish SDS and Regular..If you Have GIC and Paid the whole Tuition Fee, include the documents ( Official Receipt from the School + GIC Certificate ) in the Proof of Means of Financial Support.
do we need to attach my refusal letter as well? - No need. Just "cut and copy" the exact wording you found in your CAIPS notes when you do the Letter of Explanation. And make sure to address each point in the succeeding explanation. Explain your side of the story.
And pertaining to the IMM1294e ( Student Visa Application ) So is this the only form which needs to be attached with our online application? As when we submit our file through paper based we have to fill multiple forms - the forms will be automatically generated by the system based on your answer in the eligibility check . In my case I did IMM1294e , IMM5257b, IMM5645e, IMM5713e since I had included my husband's OWP application with mine.
I've read somewhere that one has to download SDS forms from the website, fill them and then complete by uploading the forms, documents, digital photo - No. The Online application does not accept a scanned IMM1294e with signature. You only have to validate and then save. electronic signature will come later after you submitted your application.
About letter of sponsorship, do you mean to say Affidavit of support ? - Yes. Have it notarized to make it legal.
My brother has his own business so what exactly documents are required? - since I am not form India I cannot really answer on this but generally, if someone has a business then you should submit a Business Permit, Tax payment or whatever documents that confirms his ownership of the business. You also need to establish that his business can sustain his and his family's needs and well as your's, meaning, his business is financially stable.
my father would become a primary sponsor, he is having a fixed deposit in his bank account but he is a retired official, so what documents should I attach? - you can add his financial docs together with your brother. No need to drop one. Two sponsors are better than one.
"This amount should reflect on your "Own" bank records" - meaning you have your own money in a bank account under your name. Submit bank certificates and bank statements of your own bank account and not just your brother and father.
did you try to say I must make a written summary regarding my funds besides SOP? - YES, to help the VO understand your documents clearly, make a summary of your Financial situation. Include in the summary the conversion rate at the time that you prepared your documents, and then make a table based on;
I. Liquid Assets ( include the bank information like Bank Account number and the funds available written in your Bank Certificate/Statement )
II. Property ( include property that is under your name )
This should be uploaded in the "Proof of Means of Financial Support " and not in the Client Information.
And in your application IMM1294e, on the question "My expenses in Canada will be paid by" answer Other and put " Myself with support from Father and Brother " since this is what you are doing.
Make sure that your SOP, IMM1294e and documents submitted justifies each other. If information mentioned in your IMM1294e cannot be justified by your SOP and the supporting docs, this might create doubt in the mind of the VO thus the rejection.
I humbly request you to please assist me I certainly need appropriate guidelines and you are showing me the right way to apply.
Regards.
