Hey people, I couldnt find anything for TRV applications in May 2018 at India, so starting this tread.

I applied from Canada online for mother in law (residing at India) on 14th May 2018
current status- application still hatching (review of eligibility- we will send you message once we start the review)

Posted this in TRV applied in April 2018 (India) forum-

a piece of advice for new applicants-
1. Apply for shorter tenure, you would get a multiple entry visa till expiry of passport (or 10 years; whichever is earlier) unless you are going to a specific event as per CIC website (in this case you would get a single entry)
2. Write/get a strong letter of invite
3. Book the return tickets and attach in your application (small catch here, cant spill the beans on forum. pm me I will be happy to tell you the way to get your ticket for visa without incurring cost)
4. If the funds are less than 4 months old then create a letter of explanation and take an undertaking from the depositor
5. Dont overdo things (dont provide everything what you have. Take a breathe; think and decide what is/will be right and use that)

I am sharing the points above doesnt mean I am relaxed and wont be looking at CIC account daily like a frightened cat; checking CIC website frequently is the real fun.

In continuation to my previous post; specifying some example for over doing things.

Mistake 1- Adding financial statements of people (at Canade) who are inviting you.
Issue - You don't want to show that you have strong ties in Canada; if you show lots of money in Canada you are bound to have visa rejection.
Solution- Avoid financial statements from Canada unless they are on your name and you would use the money during your trip.

Mistake 2- In case of multiple persons applying visa (e.g. mother and father) submitting only one proof of funds.
Issue - As the proof of funds is on one person's name CIC reads it as if the other person isn't able to sustain the expenses thus visa is rejected.
Solution- Obtain a proof of funds for every single applicant and upload it with documents, in case of join account upload same document under both applicants separately.

Mistake 3- Providing only property evaluation documents and bank statements as a proof of strong ties back home.
Issue - Strong financial status is good but CIC is looking for a reason to come back, money can be transferred to Canada online, property can sit for years. Not showing a solid reason for return leads to rejection of visa.
Solution - 1. If both or one of your parents are retired and receiving pension; get a proof that they need to physically present once in certain time (quarterly, 6 months or annually) to be eligible to receive pension.
2. If your folks are into business; show that the business cant operate without them.
3. If your folks are enjoying their life (no business, no pension but just using money earned over the course of life or inherited) try mentioning about care taking of some elder who needs to be attended and during your visit one of your relative will be there to take care of elders (this should be genuine and not fake)
4. If any of the above 3 applies to one of your parent and 2nd parent is a home maker then for 2nd parent show him/her as a dependent and provide a proof that he/she is enjoying life from earning of spouse and will stay with her/him.
