Ties To Country of Residence

[AstronomyNut]

So this post is actually about how to demonstrate ties in a study permit application. There isn't a lot of discussion in the study permit forum about ties to country of residence so I wanted to discuss here since the ties aspect would, effectively, be the same. The duration of my education would be 16 months.

In my study permit application, I have included:

1) Proof of six years of employment via an employment letter, pay slips and bank statement.
2) My employment letter states that I will continue this job after my education (my sponsor is my employer)
3) Proof of Minor shareholdings in my employer (Government issued document)
4) Proof of property under my name (Valuation and Title Deeds)
5) Travel History to the UK (Student Visa). Business trips to China and Thailand.
6) I studied in the UK for three years but visited my country every semester break (Summer, Easter and Winter). I pointed this out as well.

I'm single, so no children or wife. I mention family ties but I'm not sure how i can prove those.

What else should I include? Is this enough?

Hopefully, your intended study program is a progression of your previous qualifications + it is in-line with your work experience.

1) Proof of six years of employment via an employment letter, pay slips and bank statement.

A salary statement issued by Payroll/HR + tax returns

e2) My employment letter states that I will continue this job after my education (my sponsor is my employer)

Is your employer paying for your studies? If yes, what documents would you be including for this?
Would your employment be under an employment bond if your employer is paying for your studies?

3) Proof of Minor shareholdings in my employer (Government issued document)

Evidence of dividends/profit sharing + company audit report + Profit-Loss statement, etc

4) Proof of property under my name (Valuation and Title Deeds)

Recent property tax receipts + excerpts from property portals/similar realty resources to prove that the indicative market value cited in the valuation is correct + if it is rented then rent agreement, 2-3 rent receipts, bank statement

5) Travel History to the UK (Student Visa). Business trips to China and Thailand.
6) I studied in the UK for three years but visited my country every semester break (Summer, Easter and Winter). I pointed this out as well.

Unfortunately, none of this helps. Your UK stay was for a long duration + traveling to the home country is not travel history + visits to China/Thailand are not travel history.

Nonetheless, do include color scans of these visas and prepare a Travel History explanation.

I'm single, so no children or wife. I mention family ties but I'm not sure how i can prove those.

Do you live with your parents, grandparents and unmarried siblings?

It is. Studied engineering, worked in engineering and now seek a specialization in engineering that I worked in.

A salary statement issued by Payroll/HR + tax returns

OK.

Is your employer paying for your studies? If yes, what documents would you be including for this?
Would your employment be under an employment bond if your employer is paying for your studies?

My employer has already paid 100% of the tuition for the duration of the program + 1 term's residence fee. I've including the receipts of both. My father is the majority shareholder in the company so we didn't go with a bond - we could though. In addition, I'm including company tax returns and bank statement.

Evidence of dividends/profit sharing + company audit report + Profit-Loss statement, etc

There are no dividends paid or profit sharing. I'll see about company audit. The Profit-Loss is demonstrated much more transparently via the company tax returns.

Recent property tax receipts + excerpts from property portals/similar realty resources to prove that the indicative market value cited in the valuation is correct + if it is rented then rent agreement, 2-3 rent receipts, bank statement

No rents. Empty property. I can cite the land value off a government issued gazette.

Unfortunately, none of this helps. Your UK stay was for a long duration + traveling to the home country is not travel history + visits to China/Thailand are not travel history.

Nonetheless, do include color scans of these visas and prepare a Travel History explanation.

OK

Do you live with your parents, grandparents and unmarried siblings?

Just parents.

Your financial investments + SOP

No other financial investments. I've included an SOP/essay.
