it was enough for acron but obviously not enough for the visa officer. :p

everyone's application is different. even if we send loads of proof, they might still ask for more if they feel like it, just to ensure communication is ongoing.

Yes I sent about 25 pages of whatsapp communication but the reason they asked me again to send proof of communication is they want to see if we are still in contact. So I will send recent communication as well

I don't understand why they ask for bank statments or proof of employment and tax returns, when we already have sent them in with the application...i understand asking proof for communication? And why is it only some people are asked to provide docs again?

I am a non-muslim. In our case they ask for marriage certificate from local authorized Panchayat. I came to know about it after I already sent my application and now they have requested for it.

i see, so there's nothing unusual about that.

still curious why they're asking for tax info and proof of residing in canada. did you submit your option C printout? and have you ever visited pakistan for long periods of time?

Yes I sent print out C.
I am self employed here. They have given me an option to send any of the documents which can prove that I am continuously living in Canada i.e tax return, bank statement, employment letter, if self employed then proof of self employment.

I visited Pakistan first time after immigration when I got married in May 2015. I was there for 2 months. Then I visited my wife in january 2016 and again I was there for 2 months. Thats it!!!
