Marriage certificate for parents super/visitor visa

[Kawal_supervisa]

That's good.

Do not ask for a stability certificate/letter in support of insurance declaration. A hospital will not guarantee anyone's health.

Also, any insurance company has their own in-house team of medical specialists who review medical reports to assess someone's health or for insurance claims.

You can ask Max Hospital if he is in good health to apply for a Canada super visa... or if they think he may to undergo secondary investigations.

You can also say that the current set of tests are only for personal checkup and are NOT intended as the actual super visa medical tests.



You can do upfront medicals. Or if his health may improve in the next 1-2 months (which would be inline with the time required to get a medicals request) then do the medicals later. It depends on his current test results.



Yes, they must show some amount of financials + ties to go back to even for a super visa

Thanks again Bryanna,

As I asked, is their IT Return also a necessary document for application. They do not have it currently for 3-4 yrs although the interest on their FDs was a little over than the annual limit of 10000 . Should I ask them to get it made for last 2 years b4 applying for visa

2 years ITRs are necessary. It will also help to prove they have earned the finances which they will declare in the visa apps.

Even if their income is below the taxable limit, they can file 'Nil returns'. It is a pretty straight forward process and their tax consultant can file the returns in a day or so

Thanks Bryanna for helping me tying all the loose ends and relieving my anxiety. will get the ITR thing also resolved and file for their visa soon.

Hi Bryanna,

My father had his full health checkup done, but got a new surprise. The doctor got his heart ECHO done, wherein he was seen to have only 30% heart pumping, and he mentioned some of his symptom as silent heart attack history. Although his bp was perfectly fine at 110/70. I never heard of ECHO being done in immigration examination. I asked my father to consult a cardiologist as well from the same hospital. He is booked for some stress test. I am worried. Do you have any knowledge to share on this.

Hi,

Yes, furtherance tests are possible if the initial, diagnostic tests revealed something unusual.

I'm not a health care professional, and my knowledge of this is based on a couple of similar cases that I know personally. The heart muscles of your dad's heart have become weak. I'm guessing he probably had a very mild stroke (possible due to diabetes) or a mild heart attack at some stage in his recent life. That's why his heart is unable to pump blood efficiently.

As worrisome as this might seem, don't worry. It's not as bad as it looks. With medication such as blood thinners and cholesterol reducers - which must be taken on lifelong basis every day - the risks of a heart attack or stroke are reduced. He can travel/visit Canada

So, don't worry. Think of these medical tests as a blessing in disguise

Thanks Bryanna for your nice words. Lets see how it goes . Hope for the best.

Hi Bryanna,

Coming back after so many days and need you advise again. I was just wondering if it is also an option for my parents to show my elder Sister as her sponsor for visitor visa, in addition to me as the inviter. She is a school principal and earns a decent salary, but lives in a different city than him. I would still take responsibility of all their travel needs and show my complete financial documentation. But will putting up her salary slips and a sponsor letter make any difference to their TRV visa application. ( if i dont want to go for super visa, which I am more afraid after getting the tests done)

 

[Bryanna]

Hi,

Yes, your sister can financially support the visit (TRV) of your dad.

She must include a Letter of Financial Support + her bank statements (no large, deposits at the last minute) + her ITRs.

Another suggestion:
She can also purchase a Forex card(s) in your parents' names in CAD/multi-currency of a suitable amount to pay for their visit. Your parents must include proofs of these Forex card(s) + your sister's bank statement from which she purchased these cards (highlight the transactions) + her ITRs


Cheers

Thanks again Bryanna,

Is there any minimum limit in the amount that needs to be shown by them. So, in addition to all my financials- salary slips, notice of assessment and bank statement, if my parents can show an amount of 6-7 lakh in INR in their FDs along with their ITRs, and my sister just shows her ITRs and salary slips, without any bank statements ( as most salary is normally spent and she does not have any balance maintained ), would that not work.

Your parents must demonstrate that they can pay for their visit if they apply for TRVs.

Your financial documents as the host are secondary.

For FDs: It must not be locked-in i.e. interest paid on cumulative basis. Do include FD interest certificate + a letter from the bank that the FDs are not mortgaged/can be liquidated at any time, if required.

Your sister's financials: No, it will not work if she submits her ITRs and salary slips but without a bank statement

Any other immediate family who can support their visit? Your sister's husband (if she is married)?

Hi,

A new surprise come to me today when I went on to fill the forms for my fathers visitor visa. The family name(surname) of my mother is different in her and my father's passport, from many other documents. It might sound hilarious but this is something that I never imagined and noticed until yesterday. In my religion, every female normally has the same surname - KAUR, but my mother's passport and spouse name in my father's passport has KOUR instead. Initially I thought that it was a mistake, and they will need to get passport reissued, but she tells that she has the same name in her high school certificate too. Probably it came there by mistake from her school and so she might have continued the same always. But I always assumed her surname was KAUR as is the case with everyone, and filled in all my documents too, including my passport, my visas, my Canada PR details. Even the marriage certificate that my father got made after so much hassle just last week, also has her surname as KAUR. I am yet to check if she has KOUR in her other documents like bank accounts, PAN card, property registry etc.. but I feel myself like in middle of nowhere, and unable to decide what to do.

 

[Bryanna]

Ahh yet another little hurdle, but this one is manageable

If your mom's surname in her birth certificate/document she provided for her passport is 'Kour' then it means going through quite a few hoops to change the passport one to 'Kaur'.

If her birth certificate/date of birth document for her passport is 'Kaur' then it's sorted. The passport office can easily issue a new booklet with 'Kaur' .

Do check the surname in her bank statement + property registration + ITRs + FDs. If these are different then you'll need an affidavit to declare it is the same person

 

[Kawal_supervisa]

Just talked to her and she says that she has her name as KOUR in all her documents - PAN card, voter id , bank , her 10th marksheet etc, except the newly created marriage certificate. I am asking her to send me pictures of these to make it double sure, but she was quite confident.

I had recently got my passport renewed 2 months ago in canada, will I need to get it re-issued

 

[Kawal_supervisa]

Now, my family information that CIC has in its records also mentioned her surname as KAUR. Will that not also make it a mismatch when I apply for visa for her?

 

[Kawal_supervisa]

Hi Bryanna,

New updates later that day
My mothers educations docs ( 10th and grad marksheet) have her name with KOUR as surname.
voter id card , aadhar card , marriage certificate, and all bank passbooks have KAUR in her surname
On basis of educational cert, the passport also had KOUR.
I applied for the new passport already last wednesday. Hope that comes back soon, as i could not do a tatkal application.

However, a new twist, her PAN card had KAUR mentioned as her middle name and a third family name KUKKAL, and the same was used by the tax agent in her income tax returns too.

I am trying to get her PAN also corrected ( though it is not needed in her visa application), but not sure if income tax returns can be corrected or not. Probably only the current year return can be corrected. If that is the case, what should I do.

Next, my sister said that she should be able to jointly sponsor my dad's application, along with her husband. Hope it would be fine if they can show amount in any of their accounts in that case. So, I decide that i will have most documentation ready and as soon as my parents passport comes back in 2-3 weeks, i will apply for my father's TRV application separately showing my sister's sponsorship as well as my own financial docs, and also file my mother's super visa application showing only my financial documents , at the same time. Does that sound good, or I should apply for my father's TRV only first, and wait for it to approve and then apply for my mothers super visa. In that case if I find that they ask for my father's medical check as well before approving his TRV, I could think of withdrawing his TRV and applying for super visa along with my mother's too.

Please guide
