I am thinking of applying for a tourist visa and would like to know what documents to attach to the file.

Here is some information about me.

I live in the UK i have a spouse visa but my nationality is Indian.
I applied for a Canadian visa in 2014 and i was refused, because i did not have any travel history and i was not working at that time.

In 2015 i got a 1 year schengen visa (France) and a American visa (10 years). I reapplied for a Canadian visa (Husband's grandparents live in Canada). I was now working and studying also i had made my travel history, i was approved but only got a 1 year visa.

I now have a 5 year schengen visa and have been to France twice and Spain twice.

I would like to go to Canada to visit my Husband's family.In 2017 what supporting documents are people submitting? Example how many months of pay slips, bank statements any other documents you can suggest ??

Hey there,

It's been a couple of years. Good to see you're back :)

Your wife was able to get the TRV then in a day. I suggest you apply with similar documents if there is no major change to her personal and professional situation.

Here's the link from back then:

Thanks, Yes its been a while. Im glad to see that your still around to help people. I could access my previous messages etc hence the post. We will only be going for a week this time so would you still suggest i get some documents from my grand father or just apply with out his documents ?

My wifes passport seems to have more credibility compared to before but i dont know since 2015 if the canadian government has been more generous in giving TRV's or still tough
Do you reccomend 3 month bank statement or 6 ? i seem to have put 3 months of credit cards and 6 months of bank statements. Its been a while since i applied for any visas so im struggling to remember what i did. But thank you for providing the link.

It would help if your grandfather could provide an invitation letter + his documents such as copies of his passport (and his financial documents, if he would like to provide them).

Bank statement: 3 months would be fine.

You could post the list of documents that you intend to submit this time + some details about your wife's current situation/her ties to the UK, etc

Sorry.. :)

I am from the Philippines working here in Dubai. I am planning to apply trv nxt month (Oct) since it is 52 days processing time accdg to their website. Im planning to come over in December to spend Christmas with my relatives (Aunt, Uncle, Sister, cousins) there.

Way back 2006-2008, I tried to apply as a live-in Caregiver but unfortunately, I was refused twice. First, my grandfather was my client. 2 years is the processing time of Live-in Caregiver application from the Philippines. On my 1st year of processing, my Grandfather died, so I got denied. Second, was my cousin is my client, same thing, he reached 12 yrs after 2 yrs of waiting, accdg to VO no need of CG of my cousin since he is 12y.o and normal, so refused again. My question is, Do I need to declare it to the application form since there is a question? I am thinking its more than 10 yrs ago.


second question, When I came in here in Dubai. I was tourist visa. And before I found my job, I need to exit and I went to Iran for 3 days and waited there my employment visa and go back to Dubai. Do I consider it as my travel history? DO I need to declare it also?

Please help. :) TIA <3

Bryanne :).
