Bank statement

I'm applying for Canadian visitor visa in few days. Wondering, do I need to submit bank statement as I already have US visa and been lived in U.K. for 6 years as well as been to many EU countries.

I've heard that if somebody has got US non-immigrant visa then no need to show bank statement.

Is it correct?

I'm from Pakistan.

Quick reply will be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Yes you could apply for Can + processing of your TRV and if you want a fast turnaround time apply online. No finance documents needed if you have Valid US visa or have travelled to Canada in last ten years. Not sure if Can + processing holds for Pakistan passports. You can call and confirm with your local VFS call center.

Yes, you must submit 6-months bank statement + financial investments + ties to Pakistan, etc

Incorrect advice
Well correct me if I am wrong please .. As I applied last month under Can + last month. Applied on the 16 and got PPR in seventeen. I had a valid Canadian visa and had travelled to Canada recently. Had a few months of visa validity left so applied for a new trv on my renewed passport and got the visa till the validity of passport. Thanks in advance.
Ps. I did not attach any bank statement or ITR. My twin son and daughter are studying their so just attached their visa copies and study permit .

That was a typo. It was intended for another post. Anyways.

CAN+ processing does NOT guarantee a visa approval if the applicant does not submit bank statements + other evidence of strong ties to Pakistan. Also, background checks for Pakistan applications have increased in the last year despite applicants having previous travel/visas to the US. This, in itself, indicates that CAN+ processing is not a guarantee.

You were plain lucky

yes I do consider myself lucky, though I took a informed decision based on the Q & A published by Canada immigration on Facebook post about the eligibility criteria for Can + visa processing. I guess what might have worked in my favour would be a clear travel history a valid visa of Canada while I applied for a new one ... my previous visa was granted only recently and they might have access to all the documentation which I had provided in my first application . I making my guesses ..

There were other Pakistani applicants who had far stronger visa profiles (including frequent US travel + very strong ties).... but none of their applications were processed under CAN+.

Generally, it would be a risk to submit a CAN+ request without including evidence of finances + strong ties. I would not advise this

This is the link to Facebook post from Canada High Comissione India. Hope it helps to clear the doubts around Can +
https://m.facebook.com/notes/canada-in-india-high-commission-of-canada/visa-friday-qa-can/1910445909008034/
Generally, there aren't too many hassles/delays for processing India applications. BTW CAN+ processing is at the discretion of the visa office even if someone requests it.

It's a different situation for Pakistan applications because background checks are common. The OP is a Pakistan applicant
