    My Immigration Lawyer had asked me to provide Bank Statements for previous 6 months, which I did. From reading this forum, it appears that if you have received large deposits recently, you will need to include a statement explaining those. To be on safe side, I would include letters from the...

    Hi, the processing time can be found on the CIC website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp However, that's meant to be an indicative timeline.

    Hi Yadav, Not sure if it might help, but a deed of inheritance from your parents coupled with a property value evaluation might strongly help establish your financial assets. fkl perhaps you may be able to comment. Also, a letter from your employer stating their willingness to provide a...
