Once I submit application for TRV for visit, do I go ahead and directly get the Biometrics done at VFS office or I will receive a request for Biometrics to be submitted at VFS office? I am a bit confused y reading people's responses in this thread.

can you plz share your list of all documents which u submitted along with if possible let everyone knows that your family ties in UAE & Canada, travel history and finical status (how much available balance you showed) coz most of the people are getting refusals on these points. so this would be very much helpful for us. thnks
 
Just sharing my experience, here are the
IMPORTANT requirements: (not particularly in order)
1. (TRV) Application “Form IMM5257”
2. Family information “Form IMM5645”
3. Proof of means of financial support (last 4 months bank statements or pay slips or employment letter)
4. Copy of your passport (first, last pages along with pages that have stamps/visas)
5. Purpose of travel (round trip flight ticket - itinerary only, hotel booking and travel insurance - quote only)
6. Travel history (all pages with visas/stamps from your old and new passport in the last 10 years)
7. Digital photo taken with 6 months
8. Covering letter (explaining your purpose of travel to Canada)
9. Proof of ties to your home country (any supporting documents) advantage if you have property under your name. Try to include your government payment history (for Filipino SSS, pag ibig at Phil health) .
10. Invitation letter from Canada - notarized (from relatives or closed friends with attached pictures together)
11. Travel tours inquiry or reservations
12. Proof of residence address (Tenancy contract, utility bills or car registration)
13. Company letter to Canada Embassy (stated your salary, date of joining and date of your travel)
