Hello , Thank you for this clear explanation . I was filling the application form for Canadian visitor visa. There was a field that asked me to tell the funds available for my stay in Canada. 1) Is it asking me to tell the total funds that I have in my bank etc? 2) Or, is it asking me to tell the funds I am bringing to Canada for my stay? For example I have 100’000 Usd in my account. Should I mention to the same available amount in my statement bank when I answer (how much fund is available for my stay in Canada )? Thanks in advance

Write N/A or Non applicable.
For the employment section, if I'm still currently working do I just say for example (2015 to 2022) or 2015 to (leave it blank)
Correct. 2015-2022 if you are submitting in 2022.
Shouldn't employment part be filled from bottom up? I have this doubt because in the upper part it says current activity! thank you!!
1st row is for current job / occupation, so we have to write details accordingly.
hi how do you fill employment section if you have worked in 4 places for in the past 10 years.urgent. thanks
You enter the information for each place.
Where did you get the file that has options o fill
