Doubts related to Study permit application from India

[abjiskumar]

Hi,

I have four doubts with respect to the canadian study permit from india :-

1) If the full proof of finance for tuition and living expenses for my one year program is being shown by my mother through her bank statements, do i still need to get a letter signed by her mentioning that she is willing to sponsor me?

2) The main application form (IMM1294) clearly mentions that it need not be signed if being submitted online. However the Family information form (IMM5645) has no such instructionbut it still has a signature and date to be put in the form. How is that supposed to be done?

3) The digital photo that is asked for. Is the usual passport sized photo in india acceptable ?

4) If the family name section is blank in my passport and i only have the given name, how do i fill the visa application form (IMM1294) which puts Family name as a mandatory field and given name as non-mandatory field.

Please do answer my questions.

Regards,
Abhijit

Hey,

Answer to Questions 1 & 4 :

1. YES, your mother can sponsor you. Just mention it in SOP that she is having abc amount of money and she will sponsor me, nothing needed to be signed by her.

4. The same is with me, so in the family name you have to add your first name again. For ex: if your name is Sahil then again in family name you have to add Sahil i.e. Sahil Sahil.

What is the SOP? The visa form doesn't have any

 

[Konvicted]

You can upload additional documents, SOP means Statement Of Purpose. It's like a backbone to your Application.

Suppose the name is John Doe Lucas. And it is in given name section in passport? Then what should I put in family name of visa form as a mandatory field

 

[Konvicted]

If it's your first name then repeat it again.

 

[Konvicted]

As your name is Abhijith then in that case you have to add Abhijith Abhijith.

 

[abjiskumar]

If it's your first name then repeat it again.

OKay here is the example

Passport

Surname - BLANK
Given name - John Doe Lucas

So basically my name, my fathers name and my surname are all one after the other in the given name section.

Now the visa form mandates that the surname/family name is mandatory as per passport.

So what should be done?

 

[abjiskumar]

As your name is Abhijith then in that case you have to add Abhijith Abhijith.

THats what my name is Abhijit Shakti Kumar in the given name section of passport and surname section is blank
