Hi,
This will be my third post for this forum. To summarize, below is my profile:
5 years employed on an IT company (salary is P35,000 a month) - My first and current job
Have enough money on my bank account (P660K + / 17K + CAD). I don't have a one time big time deposit. My deposit only ranges from 5K php to 10 K php.
Been to two countries: South Korea (5 days - tour) and Australia (2 months - work) - I was sent by the company I'm currently hired at to work there hence I was granted a temporary work visa.
Have relatives in Canada (My aunt and my uncle both from my father's side) - However, I won't be visiting them because I believe I can handle myself when it comes to expenses
I'm from the Philippines.
Sorry for asking too much questions. I am now starting to apply for a tourist visa in Canada. I decided to hire a travel agent. However, she told me that it could be doable if I bring my mom and dad with me. Mom is unemployed but has been to different countries (Macao, Hongkong, Singapore, South Korea and just recently..US), she's dependent to dad. Dad is an Asst. Vice President. However, I'm scared that my application might get denied due to family ties. You see, my dad has 2 siblings over there and they might see this as a red flag. We don't plan on visiting them anyways and I believe we can afford the 10 day stay there in Canada ourselves. I'm not entirely sure why the travel agent proposed this idea to me. Any thoughts on this?
Also, looks like I could also get denied due to lack of ties. My manager already approved my leave request through email but the company won't give me the letter for approved leave of absence. This is because that letter is only granted for employees who filed for a LOA. Mine is just a 10 day paid leave. So I'm not sure what would happen to my application if I don't have this letter. Will it be ok if I printed our email conversation for my leave request instead? Also, I would like to have a vacation on Canada from Dec 12 - 21. However, I heard stories that the reason some of the applicants got refused because this is a critical month due to weather..... But, I want to experience snow winter in Canada.
Just wanna know my chance of getting my visa approved. Is it below 50% now? Or am I just overthinking?
Thanks,
Josh
