Do include it. Do you have tuition fee receipts, etc for her current study program?

Hi Bryanna,

Hope u see this and reply

I'm getting married in the month of June and to a Canadian citizen and I'm from India. All this while we were planning to do the correct method of Outland sponsorship from India after we are married. But now we are planning to at least try for a visitor visa before we get married mentioning me as a close friend and travel with him after marriage, to at least be with him for next 2 month and come back to India and carry on with the normal process.

I have a job
I can show around 20,000 cad in my account (Fd& salary)
If required I can show property inherited from my parents
But no travel history


My question is
A) is it a good idea to mention me as a friend when in later he is going to sponsor me or is better to ask his parents to invite me (citizen) and avoid his name in visitor visa that I'm going to applying
B) when I land in Canada I'll be married to a Canadian citizen, do I have to declare that to the airport authorities, will it be a problem ( assuming I have got a visitor visa)
C) wil this affect my sponsorship application

Please do suggest something, your help will be greatly appreciated.

It could take even up to a month to get a reply to a CSE.

I don't think the 'London' error in the form is causing the delay. Who is the primary applicant - your mom or your dad?
Hi Bryanna,

I have sent one more CSE on Friday (assuming that now the application is definitely outside avg processing time). As I mentioned, we did sent "Father's - Primary Applicant" passport for stamping on Thursday, and it has reached Bangalore Office (from Ahmedabad)

Very worried about "Mother's" Application, since there is not a single update in CIC Account since Jan 30th (applicant filed on Jan 28th). If they needed any clarification, I suppose we must have got a query already, but nothing. Could it be stuck in some kind of Background check or verification ?

Feels helpless, as there is nothing practical that can be done from my side. Any suggestions?

Again, thanks for all your insights and guidance.

-Sri.

Attn: Bryanna

You can include an FD interest certificate + letter from the bank that the FD is not mortgaged

Yes we will get a letter from the bank. Should they change their FD terms ...I mean make it cash-able or keep the funds in savings account only to show that those funds are available for use right away?

Do they have any previous travel history? Any dependent family members who live with them - grandparents, etc? Has your dad taken any loans? Does he have farming equipment which he can include as his assets? Does he have any employees?

No they don't have any previous travel history. No grandparents. My grandmother passed away last year. I don't think there are any loans but dad might have a farmer line of credit.
There are farm assets but no purchase receipts were ever kept.
There are no employees either.


Your dad must include a 'Letter of Financial Support' for your mom + a copy of his bank statement with her application.

You can get her jewelry assessed by a certified jeweler apart from the CA. Not sure if Tanishq does this anymore. Also, include any purchase receipts (if available). You can include a statement that she preferred to invest in gold instead of other financial investments.

Will do..Thanks


I don't think the employment letter from the relative will help as your brother is paid in cash. He can certainly include it though + include a letter from the employer that he is paid in cash + 2-3 cash receipts. The letter must be on business stationery.

Letter is on business stationery and he has mentioned full time job but it's more likely less than full time I believe. Salary is less as that's what the employer usually pay welders who don't have any technical education/certification in welding

Is the relative's business registered with the government? Does your brother deposit this cash in his bank account every month?

Business is registered and brother don't deposit cash in the bank every month. He did it only a few times (I think)

One point you may want to explain in the application: Why your brother is employed by your relative (at a relatively low salary) when he earns substantially more from your family farming business?

The actual reason was he wanted to learn and get training in this trade and started working with them so we can eventually apply for PNP.

Yes, it would be a good idea to plan for her engagement ceremony after their visit. For this, do include any evidence of booking a venue/caterer, etc if that's the case

Ok. Yes, we will include the booking confirmations if my family plans her engagement after their visit.


Do your parents own a house? Your brother owns a house? If yes, they must include the ownership documents for it + current market valuation + property tax receipts, etc

My parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew lives together. We own the house (land was inherited and we build the house later on). There are no legal documents. It is located in a small village - there is no property tax over there. So, I am not sure what could be included in this case.


Do you any template for day to day itinerary and cover letters?

Thanks again for taking time to help me. I really appreciate !!!!

Hi need help.

We received the following email from CIC. Does this mean that the TRV is granted for sure or is there still any doubt after this email. Did anyone get a rejection after receiving this email. We applied online. The email states:

Unless your wife first gets an extension before March-end + you travel to Canada before your current visa expires....only then can you apply for an extension/hope to have your visitor status extended. This will probably not happen in reality.

What is the status of your wife currently?

Does the update to your dad's application say Approved/Closed?

I do not think the visa office is running background checks on your mom. It is possible that they have sought information from the London VO. But again, the London VO is pretty quick.

CSEs can take time. So I would not get stressed out by waiting for a response to a CSE.

Where are your parents based?

This will help:

Do remember that after you link your application to your MyCIC account, you will not receive/not be contacted by email by the visa office. All updates can be checked only in your online account
