I understand this question is asked often on this forum (I've searched). I'm asking what's the best way to portray my ties to my home country. So far, I am proving the following:
Economic Ties:
What else can I show to prove I have strong ties to my country and intend to return?
Economic Ties:
- Small amount of shares in a public limited company/family business. I demonstrate this using an official document issued by the government.
- I have contributed to this company significantly in six years here, in terms of technology, and will be continuing here after my degree. My sponsor's affidavit (sponsored by the above mentioned company) mentions this. Shall I provide a formal letter? The issue is I would be just continuing, albeit in a better position, at the company. My father is the CEO of this company and has the majority of shares.
- Property under my name. I don't know how this shows ties but everyone sends this in, so I am too.
- I studied for my undergrad in the UK for three years. During every break (Christmas, Easter, Summer), I came back to my country. This is demonstrated by countless exit and entry stamps. I highlight this fact in my SOP.
- I have (business) travel history to Thailand (twice) and China in past 5 years. I have never overstayed any visit. I don't highlight this anywhere in my SOP.
- No immediate family member lives in Canada.
- I have never lived other than my home address except three years of my undergrad.
What else can I show to prove I have strong ties to my country and intend to return?
