Visitor Visa Letter Form: Fill & Download for Free

NO, DON’T try that.Canada is one of the very few countries on the globe where it is almost impossible to “disappear” and live on.I will give you only three letters: SIN (Social Insurance Number)No SIN = no housing, no job of any kind, no job search, no banking, no credit, no paycheque, no car purchase, no driver’s licence, no schooling or training, no health care, no social services of any kind, shape or form, no possibility to - ever - become legitimized.You are truly a waif, a non-existing person without any base or foundation to live on at all.So, you say, why is it so easy to “disappear” in USA? Big difference, they aren’t using SSN (Social Security Number) the way we use our SIN.In USA you will be arrested “if” you are found.In Canada, you will be sought after, arrested and deported sooner than you can possibly imagine. Your employer, if you are found working, will also be arrested and subject to a jail term. - This is one HUGE disincentive to hire anyone who doesn’t have a SIN number.Plus, you cannot get a visitor’s permit to come to Canada in the first place if there is even a hint that you intend to “come to stay”.Our immigration officers are pretty good at ferreting out and denying these applications.

There are few things that we need to keep in mind in order to prove financial stability while applying for a standard visitor visa for UKYou need to show regular transactions in whatever bank statement you are producing. It’s better if you showcase your salary/main bank account. It doesn’t have to be of past 6 months but I assume regular transaction is one major criteria. I submitted only two and a half months statement and after spending two agonizing weeks, thinking that there might be an issue as it’s a relatively shorter time-span, got the visa without any troubleIt is also not a necessity to maintain more than 1 lakh throughout last 3/6 months (time-span for your bank statement). I don’t believe in keeping money idly in my bank account :). So I invest readily whenever I get a chance. Sometimes there’s even less than 10,000 INR in my bank because of that. So after reading all the online reviews and answers, I was apprehensive of this issue as well. But it was not a problem in the end. One thing that I did was that I had also produced proof of my investments along with the bank statement. I guess that might have helped my caseIf you are employed by any private/government organization, producing regular salary slips is as important as bank statements I believe. This can show that you have a regular income and if you show your salary account, it explains all the major fund inflows into your account. It is advisable to produce last 3/6 months salary slip. I had submitted for last 3 monthsHaving a balance of INR 1,50,000 to 2,00,000 is fair enough at the end of your bank statement. Do not deposit money from any personal account all of a sudden as it shows that you did it for the visa purpose onlyThe most important thing of all is that you need to make sure that you have enough funds to cover your travel to UK and you have attachments back home for which you’d definitely comeback, be it job or family. Just try to logically put that into your application form and supporting documents and you would be good to go :DFeel free to ask me anything else on applying for standard UK visitor visa from India as I had applied for it and got it a week back. Cheers!
