The final decision will be taken by the visa office only after they receive your brother's passport.

So, you're nearly there.... to getting a TRV

hehe. They took 33$ from him today early in the morning and VAC online says:

Your processed passport has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Offlice, BEIRUT on 24/01/2017. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website.

Does that mean the passport is ready ?

No, only when they request it. You provide a photocopy only with your application.

Hi Yuki here, I am a bit worried on my application, I have sent mine last Jan 21, 2017 here in Phils. I applied for a visitor visa so I could visit my husband and spend more time with him. Length of my stay is supposedly from Feb 23, 2017 to March 23, 2017. I am working here in the Philippines as a medical technologist and I have 2 jobs. I have no travel history and haven't included in my cover letter that my husband is trying to apply for a spousal sponsorship that is currently ongoing. I submitted:

Marriage Certificate
Photo requirement
A bank statement showing funds from the last six months ($3800 CAD) only.
Income Tax Returns (2014-16)
Employment letter from my main job stating they are giving me a month for holiday.
another employment letter from my secondary job stating that the COE will be used for travel purposes. (Both didn't state my annual or monthly income)
Payslips from both jobs
My existing car loan certificate
A letter stating why I want to visit canada (which is wanting to visit my husband but spend more time with him due to tight work schedules for both of us and that he could only visit me for two weeks however I could stay with him for a month since work allowed me to be on holidays for a month.)
Credit card statement
My husbands employment letter and his revenue for last year
An invitation letter coming from my husband stating our reasons why I wanna visit and that he would provide food and shelter for me.
a letter stating also that he is willing to provide my basic necessities.
Itinerary but my husband only stated where he would take me. I really don't have any reservations elsewhere other than for me to be staying at my husbands home.
My Professional License
My drivers license
Medical (Since I have already done my medical cause I was applying first for a spousal sponsorship)
and the forms I needed to fill up.

What bothers me is that I never had been to any other country. I have no travel proof and had been busy for the last 3 years working.
I also forgot to include in my letter that I have an existing sponsorship application and UCI. That I would have to come back to not jeopardize my existing application.
I also forgot to include my existing loan from the national housing authority here stating that I am currently paying for it.
I am so stressed out since I have been reading in forums a heap of rejected applications and feel that I should have done better.
and last 2 years ago I have been rejected to visit my aunts and uncles in Australia since I lack supporting documents. (that was a different story however, I was honest to tell them that I have been rejected a visitors visa in another country)
I really have no idea if I lacked evidence of ties for my application.
but i am still hoping for an approval. My husband and I got married last six months ago.. July 26, 2016 here in phils, and left on the 28th.
I really do wanna spend time with him. I miss him so much and it is just unbelievable that I am going through all this just for me to be with him.

Do you think I have provided enough?

Do you think I have provided enough?

You should always mention that you have sponsorship application going on. It's called dual-intent: you have applied to stay in Canada permanently and now you have applied to visit temporarily. So declaring dual-intent means you have been sincere and visa officers normally issue visa. In your case, it could be an issue if you don't have strong financial and family ties. Do you have children in Philippians?

 

[Lashen]

Can anyone share what they did with purpose of travel documents?

The purpose of travel could be an itinerary: what exactly you intend doing each or where you will visit if going on tour. If you were invited for a conference, purpose of travel could be the conference schedules/planned activities. If visiting to look after sick person, purpose of travel could be a letter from the medical doctor. What is your aim of traveling: business, family, tourism or..?

Would you mind sharing with us what kind of documents they requested. I have applied for TRV for my mother. She is a farmer.

Its my father's posting places during his service in job. I had already submitted it with the application. Don't know why they have requested it again.
