Thanks for everything. My question is Do I need a certified English translation of all documents in my native language? You didn't mention about that in any videos. And I can't find this information on the official website.
Thank you for making this video. Very helpful. I have a question. How early can I apply for my mother’s visit visa? Her travel plan is next year mid-July.
You can apply now as well mentioning those dates in your application.
Great video. Possible to share templates of those documents you prepared. Thanks in advance.
hello, thanks for watching, the templates are just ti guide everyone, you can pause the video or take a screenshot and draft your own template accordingly. hope this helps. :)
Hi, thank you for the help you're providing.
If my father is the principal applicant and is applying with my mother without a representative what should he answer to the questions are you applying on behalf of someone else? Is it yes because he's applying for my mother too? Or is that question only in case a third party is applying for them?
Thank you!
you can say no, becasue your mother and father are applying by themselves, dont mention anywhere that your father filled details for your mother too. Make the application like they both filled the information individually by themselve. and prepare proofs based on that. hope this helps. please like share and subscribe :)
Hi, my study permit is expired and I’m in applied status now. With this status, can I apply for my parent’s visitor visa? I’m pregnant and delivery will be on January, so I’m planning to bring my parents. Please reply
Hi, thankyou for the detailed video.
My question is my mother in law has different name in her passport and in my husband documents she has different name? What we can do in that case?
Hello, thanks for watching. You might need a same name affidavit mentioning that both names address the same person. And add any other relevant documents to support your claim.
You can find the same name affidavit format on the internet.
If the name is slightly different then you can just explain this in your own words.
This form also has option to fill the maiden name, so you can say that on mother’s documents it’s the maiden name (name before her marriage) and your husband has name after marriage, or vice versa. No proof is required for this. I have shown this in video for my mother-in-law name section.
Also my father has Kumar as middle name in his all documents whereas ad per my documents my father doesn’t have any middle name. So I haven’t given any reason for this.
Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe:)
Thanks for the video. We have applied visitor visa for my husband and my two kids. But I filled by miself and I pay the fee just one because I forgot to add my husband and kids to pay the fee in the ircc portal, and just received my biometrics but didn't get them. What should I do?
hi, i dont know in this case. contact ircc using webform or call them. see if you can pay the remaining fees? ideally it asks the total payment in the end.
what to upload for passport for US visa? all pages of that passport or just personal details page? photo and address?
Highly Informative!!

Last September, I applied for a visa, but it was rejected. I'm applying again for a visit visa now. Can I use the same CA property assessment, or do I need to get a new one
It’s better to get a new one. One year old documents is old I think.
Plus you need to understand the previous reasons for rejection and address those.
How did you paste all the required docs in funds of proof or letter of invitation ? As a full page pictures or pdf object ? Also, couldn’t attach recent 4 statement since it is security concern files. Pls advise
Hello, thanks for watching. Well I converted all the documents from pdf to jpg images first. Then copy paste those images to your word file in order. And at last save the final word as pdf. Sometimes you need the 2-3 separate word files and convert them to pdf and then merge those pdf to create your final document file.
For Ex. Starting 3 page of words are cover letter, invitation letter, and itinerary. So make 1 pdf of this. Next you have few pages of proofs like bank statements or investments etc, so create separate word file and paste the jpg images of those proofs in order. Next you might have something else to add in the proof, so create a separate word file of that. Then convert all those 3 word files into pdf separately and then finally merge them together to create one final proof document.
For bank statements, see if you can convert the pdfs into jpg and then attach. If not, then get the statements print from the bank, take clear photo and attach.
I used ilovepdf website for all the conversions, doc merge, compress size, etc.

@@canadadreamers_thanks for the quick reply
I already have an account in IRCC website (when I apply for my own application) can I use the same one to apply for my family visitor visa?
I think for family visitors visa you need a different account. Please watch the initial steps in the video. Hope it helps.
Thanks!
In gather document section there is form imm5645e family which i dont see in your video or options to upload in supporting documents.
Hi, thanks for watching. form imm5645 is i think not required if you are using the new portal. I used this new portal for my wife's trv 2 years back and for my parents-in-law a few months back, and I did not upload this 5645 form. I think if you apply for trv using the GC key account, then you would need this one.
hope this helps. please like share and subscribe. :)
Thanks for the video.
We have applied visitor visa for both my mother and mother-in-law. Got the mothers biometrics but didn't get mother-in-law biometrics. And i raised a webform its been 15days but their no update on my mother in law application. Could you please help me if you have any idea. Can we get biometric or not. Is their another way.
Hi thanks for watching. Even in our case we got biometric request separately. Mother in law got after 1 day and father in law got after 1 week I think. We just waited for a few days.
In your case its been 15 days already. May be wait for 5 more days or get the appointment for at least one person who got the request. That should also be fine.
Thanks for the information. Finally Got the biometrics for my mother in law.
Bro if my parents have two passports… as 1st one is expired and 2nd one is new … so do i need to upload both or i attach only new one ?
Only the new one is fine, however you can mention the old passport number only if you want, or if it had any stampings. Otherwise don’t really needed the old one.

Hey! My dad lives in UAE whereas my mum is in India. Can i follow with the same process mentioning different addresses for them or is there any other process to follow in my case?
Hi thanks for watching. The process is mostly same. Just mention their residential addresses correct, they have to go for the biometrics too. It can be either in india or UAE. Write all the correct details about all address types such as residential address or mailing address. It doesn’t impact on the processing your application.
Hi, Which app you used to merge all documents.
Website called ilovepdf
Hello thank you so much
Where do we upload the photo?
Thanks for watching, we dont need to upload any photos for parents TRV. Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe :)
I have lot of file . But there is limit 2mb 😅 if i compressed it it become blurry. What shoul i do? I have also 2 option name consent family info option, can i upload my other document to it? Will it be any problem?
i know it is difficult. see if you can remove something which is not so important. try compressing the single pages individually and then merge them, this way, you can compress more to a few pages which are just word files, and compress less to those pages which gets blur such as proofs and scanned documents. compress the compressed file again and again until they are clear and not getting blurred. hope this technique works for you. I did the same way.

Hello Sir,
Wonderful and efucational video. I would like invite my widow sister with 2 adult children (son 3rd in college and daugher 3rd in medical college). In line of your parents visitor visa process, I would like aline accordingly. My question is my sister widow - where I will provide late husband personal informatin? Second question - where biometric test will be held?
Your help will be appreciated. Regards
Hello, in this case, you can create an account as shown, add all 3 members in the application, you become the representative for all 3, and choose your sister as the principal applicant in the application.
Sisters husband information you can provide in the same application where it asks for marital status and name etc.
Biometric letters are received only after you submit the application. And then you can follow the instructions from that biometric letter and choose the nearest office to give biometrics for all 3 applicants.
Our parents gave biometrics in Delhi.

@@canadadreamers_ Thanks brother for your response, will subscribe and like :)
Thank you so much. I am going to apply super visa for my parents
Thank you for watching. Please like share and subscribe:)
which option to choose if we are temporary worker and wanted to invite parents? I dont see option for non dependent child who is temporary resident
can i get a response on this please.
There should be an option. Anyone can call their parents on trv here. See again or just check on google. sorry i dont have the direct answer.
What is concent personal information
Hi, i am applying for my brother and he is working in India but he got the job in April this year, he doesn’t have any investment, Tax returns or property right now. He is having only salary slips. So in proof of funds he can show only bank statements. Will that be okay?
Yes he can show salary and bank statements for the proof of funds. Additionally you can also say that you will support him financially in canada and provide your documents too.
Also make sure you focus on his home country ties which proves that he will go back to his home country before visit visa gets expired. Job could be one reason. Get a letter from company that he is only going for vacation and expected to join back.
Hope this helps.

@@canadadreamers_ thanks a lot for reply ☺️. one more query sir, for home ties thing- can we show that he is having job back in India and he will not overstay? Please guide me. Thanks 🙏
@@montrealamit yes, get the letter from company that he is going on vacation and will join back on xx date.
Hello.. you are doing great job. I had applied visitor visa for my parents through an agent( for pre and post maternal care as i am pregnant and my due date is in july). But i got refusal. But now i want to apply for my mother only by myself. Please help me.
Hi, I think you should have avoided this reason. I have heard stories and now even you are saying so, that if you say your parents are coming for delivery help etc, chance are you will get a refusal :(
now its alreasy july, hope you are doing well. and you can provide next reason that you have delivered the baby and your parents just want to meet the new born, and LEAVE soon (in a few weeks). come up with such reasons for next trv application. hope this helps and you get the help and support you are looking for. and congratulations in advance!
Where you opload your photo ?
Hello thanks for watching. We dont need any photo for the visitor visa application. Are you applying for super visa?
Old passport stamps we need to apply or not
Its better to add them which proofs that you have a travel history and you tend to come back before the visa gets expired
My father name in my passport is "Dasharathbhai" but in his all documents and passport, his name is "Dashrathbhai". What I should do?
Same case with me, my fathers name in my all documents is Sanjay Gupta but in his all documents it was Sanjay Kumar Gupta.
I have applied without any explanation and has given his name as per his passport. Sanjay Kumar Gupta. Since it was just the middle name missing.
You can do 2 things.
Either you can apply just like this without any explanation.
Or
You can apply normally however just add some info in your additional documents saying that both name are same and attach proof like both passports. Or you might get a same name affidavit and add that in your additional info document.
Use his passport name everywhere since it is his Visa.

Thanks for the quick response. Appreciate it.
Can you please share all documents pdf with remove your personal information ?
hi, thanks for watching, these are to guide you only. you can pause the video and draft your letter in your words by taking help from my format. hope this helps. please like share and subscribe. :)
hi can you share with us the proof of fund cover letter ?

Hi, thanks for watching. You can draft the letter in your words based on your circumstances. I have already shown the proof of funds letter in video based on our circumstances. So this letter can guide you to write yours.
Hope this helps.
Documents sections are in the later part of the video. Or else you can refer the separate video which is Part 3 of visit visa for parents.
selectd visitor for tourism. Should i need fillup family info imm5645 form?
I i need ! After filliup form where i upload it?
Hello thanks for watching. If you are applying using the new online portal, I dont think you need that form. I think it is needed when you apply using gc key account.
I remember when I applied for my wife’s trv very first time I used the new online portal but still I added this 5645 form with the additional documents section (last page), but it was not needed.
When I applied for the 2nd time for my wife and also applied for her parents a few months back, didn’t add this 5645 form.
Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe:)

Hey, This video is really beneficial, Could you please let me know or if anyone else has that experience, (A) Do I need to fill out any other form (5645, 5476) except the online wizard for a Visitor visa, if I sponsor my sister. (B) Do I need to get health insurance when I sponsor (Visitor Visa) for my Sister? And How about when I sponsor (Supervisa) my mother, Do I need to buy Health insurance first and then I can apply for her visa or can I buy it later after the visa gets approved? Thank you and I appreciate your comments in advance.
Thanks for watching.
Imm5645: I guess No, it is required if you are applying using the gc key. But I have applied using the new online portal.
Imm 5476: yes if there is any representative. In my case, my wife acted as representative for her parents visit visa application. And I acted as representative for my parents visit visa application.
You can purchase the heath insurance at any time. For sister, you may buy one cheap refundable insurance just for visa application sake, and then buy a proper health insurance once the visa is approved.
For mother, you can buy health insurance one her visit visa is approved.
Buying from canada is recommended!
