God has done it for me.
I got my PPR today AUG 11, having applied on Apr 21, 2022.

Please who knows the fastest VAC where I can send my passport for the Visa.

Also, can anyone advise me on how to go about it? Do I just send my passport and documents to the VAC or do I need to submit any application online?

Hello,
Please I need some information on the proof of funds for visitors visa. Is the funds requirement for visitors the same as for students?

Hello b139

Like I always advise applicants, one of the things to put into consideration when applying for a study Visa is Home ties.

There are 2 ways of applying for a student visa as a family:

- You can apply as a family for a study visa application and still get your visa but the chances are very slim, the reason is that this is a temporary visa you are applying for and not a permanent residence Visa.. So you will have to come back home after your studies( even though no one comes back home) cos that is what the Visa officer wants, and there must be a concrete reason for your coming back home and this is where Home ties comes in, now when you all go together, the Visa officer knows you wont come back since you are going as a family, considering you actually applied for a Temporary Visa..

2. You can apply alone, when you get to Canada, you can apply for a spousal permit for your Hubby and Visiting Visa for your Kids. With this kind of application, you have reasons to come back to your home countries i.e your family members will stand as Home ties, cos the Visa Officer will know that you won't wanna leave your family and stay put in Canada.. So you will use your family as home ties and convince the Visa officer you can't leave your family behind in your home country and remain in Canada, so that is why I always advise family applicants to go first and then apply for their family members once they get there..

So bottom line, you can actually get your study permit with both categories, but you have more chances of approval with the 2nd option..

Peace

Greetings to you all,
I have learnt quite a lot in the little time I have been here.
Please any advice.
I have admission for September 2022 and I am about to start the visa application. I have a family of 5 and I intend to apply with my family.

Is it wise to apply for my entire family from the onset or should I apply first? (Do I stand a better chance of success if I apply alone) ?

Also, do Assets such as cars, landed property and pension funds count as proof of funds?

Thanks.
