Hey guys, I've been following the threads on canada study permit and the information here had been helpful saved me 300k from the hands of agents who know nothing.

I submitted my student visa application on 3 feb 2017, got approval mail from CIC on 23 feb, 2017 for may semester lambton college (Embedded systems engineering design). It's a two year course, i didn't get the two years. I was given a year and 3 months from start of semester because of passport validity. I learnt about the study permit not exceeding validity of the passport way after i had prepared all my documents with the passport number, i was running out of time i had to take the risk since it can be extended.

I did upfront medicals at qlife
Submitted the CIC docs,

Sponsor's Account statement showing 12m
Mother's pension documents 6m
Father's Shares documents 100k

I'd say put yourself in the VO's shoes and give yourself everything you need to prove that you have enough funds, and you are coming back.

Hello house, I have a few inquires with regards to trv application

1. With regards to proof of financial support, I see a lot of people claim to send various documents from their sponsors like soa, court affidavit, proof/statement of assets, etc. How exactly is that possible? In the CiC portal there's only one field to upload documents as proof of means of supports. Do you combine all these documents into one PDF with multiple pages or what?


2. With regards to medical, on the CiC portal there's a field called "Request For Medical Exam (required)" and it gives you an upload option. What exactly am I to upload there?
Also, if I did the upfront medical, how do I link it or inform CiC? Do I tell the hospital that it's for Canadian embassy? Will they send it immediately? And do I pay extra for them to send it?

3. With regards to passport/digital photographs, in the instructions for the format of passport, they said to sign behind the photo. Are you to scan and upload the back of the photo? That'd be weird.

4. With regards to biometrics, are you meant to do that in a special way or place? Or just at any cybercafe? Because I see a special fee for biometrics so I'm not sure.

5. Lastly I see a lot of people send documents like ielts, waec results, birth certificate, police report, transcripts etc. I don't see any field where you're given the option to upload that. So why and how do you send that?

And on a side note, what exactly could CiC want to do with your transcripts and waec result? Do they want to give me extra admission or scholarship?

same thing i said NO! since you're operating on full funding. Your dad can choose to do otherwise if his S.O.A is heavily loaded. Remember that declaring you as dependant, the V.O might be taking into consideration financial capability of your sponsor. BTW i think even if he declares you as a dependant, he will have to state his financial commitment to you, in that case the amount declared as commitment may not really affect your sister's app (if the balance on the S.O.A is okay to the V.O)

penitential:
No. He should not declare you as dependent except if you're depending on him financially.

Finestlex:
when I applied for visa, I have 6 siblings but I only declared 2. Declare your sister as sibling but not dependant if your dad got average finances. But if he's very wealthy, then declare as dependent

Is2bEe:
your sister is out of school and working and surely over 18 years.... She's certainly NOT a dependent

Osemigho:
Fully funded? Can prove source of money? If yes, I believe you can shoot.

Osemigho:
According to others, 500k personal account. 1m dad or mom account with letter of support.
