My mom and I are planning to go on a holiday in Canada probably in April so we need to get our TRV.

I was just wondering if we could apply the TRV with my mom as the main applicant and me as the secondary applicant (Does such a thing even exist?) If possible we plan on using her documents of her properties and all because I don't have any properties and not as much money as she has in the bank. We worry that she will get accepted and me rejected. I had already applied for a TRV last month but got rejected.

What could we do to prove strong home ties and that we have no intention of staying there? I know she could attach her properties but what about me? How can I convince them that I will return because I don't have the intention of staying there. Should we write a cover letter? Do we attach the travelling brochures if we have them?

We really want to visit Canada for just two weeks but the application of the TRV is proving to be quite difficult.

Sponsoring by parents is only until 18.

orelse you will have to show proof of continuous study which would be convincing that you have not started earning and ur mum can sponsor you

Thanks for the help propain.

I could also include a cover letter right? I know there is no mention of the need to include a cover letter in the website but it wouldn't hurt to ease their burden by including a cover letter right? ^^

There is no such thing as main applicant and secondary applicants for legal adults. You will have to apply on your own and your application will be judged on its own merits.
As far as your chances go after 1 rejection, they are not the greatest. Unless your mother is a multi-millionaire, the fact that you are unemployed and she is supporting you does not bode well. The VO will suspect that you have no intention of returning from Canada.

Agreed - The #1 reason applicants are rejected is unable to provide strong reasons that they'd leave Canada once arrived

Thank you for the replies everyone. I am an active member of my local church group so I guess I could put that in a cover letter and perhaps before application I would have found a job that I can include in my application as well :)

oh and also, cover letter? It's okay to include one right?
