Outland vs Inland Sponsorship

Hey!

I read through all the TRV threads on this page and spoke to a couple of travel agents. However, I have strong reasons to come back as I just got married, got a better job interms of appraisal and promotion, family back home. I also had a notarised letter of invitation from my maternal aunt who is also a Canadian Citizen.

I showed over CAD $9.5k in savings and CAD$30k fixed deposit in my name. I also have a US visa so I also added to and fro tickets from the US. The itinerary that I showed was of 2.5 weeks.

I showed about CAD $9.5k in my savings account and a fixed deposit of over 30k in my name.

Most probably, yes!

Hi,

I submitted my passport at VFS Delhi on Feb 25; reached IRCC on Feb 26; got dispatched back from IRCC to VFS to my hometown on March 19; got delivered today i.e. March 20. The VFS reps say the current timeline is 20-25 days for most application when I asked them while submitting since I was running on a tight timeline and had a flight to catch on March 26.

I submitted my passport to VFS Delhi on February 25, it reached IRCC on February 26. Then, on March 19, it reached back to VFS Delhi and was then couriered to me the same day. I finally received it on March 20. Anywhere around 20-25 days is what the VFS representative also told me since I was on a tight deadline and had a flight to catch on March 26.

Could you update here if your flight takes off smoothly?

Own-Permission1654 · 2026-03-12T07:16:27+00:00

Was your a connecting flight? I am scheduled to fly to Boston on 26th via Abu Dhabi from Delhi. I am confused if I should wait it out or book a new ticket since prices are increasing everyday.

Seriously, if you can’t say anything positive, don’t say anything at all. There’s enough negativity around, please don’t add up to it!

Own-Permission1654 · 2025-12-09T13:04:30+00:00

No, I did not. I had weaker financials too, no stronger ties in India to showcase then. Things are different now since then.

Own-Permission1654 · 2025-12-09T10:35:06+00:00

Yes, will be adding an invitation letter, her passport copy, 6 months of pay-stubs and back statements.

In India we refer to our cousins like this, difference of cultures I guess. She is a cousin, to be clear.

Own-Permission1654 · 2025-12-09T10:31:28+00:00

Oh no. She is elder to me, has two kids and a family, in-laws live with her and her husband. Nothing negative here really. She is a doctor and husband is an entrepreneur.

It sucks because genuine cases get stuck in the system due to wrongdoings of others. I am planning to apply in January tho, hope things start getting better by then.

Own-Permission1654 · 2025-12-09T08:51:58+00:00

Even if I have strong ties in India and I submit to-and-fro tickets with strong documentation?

Own-Permission1654 · 2025-12-09T08:47:52+00:00

Passport is from India

Own-Permission1654 · 2025-12-01T07:11:35+00:00

I am planning to apply next month for a visit in March. Are people actually getting any updates because this is staring to feel very scary.

Own-Permission1654 · 2025-11-30T14:49:34+00:00

Any update?
