Hi folks. Applied for my parent's TRV from India and my father received the passport request email this morning. Do the passports have to be submitted in person? Is there no courier service to submit the passport in India? Not able to find it on VFS website - could someone please throw some light on this? Thank you!
Nevermind, I found the option on the VFS portal.

Hi Guys,

I am applying for visitor visa, I've previously stayed in Aus for 14 years (on study & work permit). Can you please review my 'ties to India' section in LOP and let me know how to improve it?

I have no desire whatsoever to overstay in Canada if given a visa as I have my job and my parents who are dependent on me. In other words, I am the bread earner of my family. Right now, I am staying with my parents in my grandfather’s 3 – storey house in Navsari, which is my ancestral property and I also own the 2BHK Apt. worth of 12,00,000 INR in the same city.

Visitor refusal for mother - shes is 64 year old house wife staying with me. Father is retired from private company. Sister invited her to see her family for 4 weeks and she is PR there. Her account balance was CAD 5K in saving, my account balance was CAD7.5k. Property valuation on my name. She doesnt have anything on her name in terms of assets. So I sponsored my mother, I am only son and sister living in Canada as PR. I have submitted my pay slips, bank statements etc.

Refusal
I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/ section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors: • The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application. • You have submitted documentation that lacks authenticity as part of your application. This has diminished the overall credibility of your submission. • You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your or your host's income and assets

Hello, if anyone can enlighten me, please.
I applied for my in laws for Canada Visit Visa through IRCC portal as family. My mother-in-law got passport request today but my father-in-law has not got yet and it looks like his one will be delayed as he has got request for further medical information. In the visa application, my father in law was the principle applicant.

My question is, can my mother in law come without my father law or they will have to travel together or the principle applicant (my father in law) will have to come first? Can you please let me know? Thank you so much in advance

Hello everyone,

Got a quick question. I am applying for a visit visa (TRV) for Canada through IRCC online portal. In the documents section, it is only giving me to add the following documents:

1- Valid US Visa (I have a valid 5 years US visa),
2- Passport,
3- National Identity card,
4- Employer Letter (A copy of a letter from the employer in Canada),
5- Additional Documents.

In additional document I can upload only one attachment. Should I create a zip folder with all the documents (such as invitation letter, my financials, etc)? Can anyone please guide me if they faced similar issue?
