Most of the Universities in Canada are going in parallel
with the latest technologies. Educating myself in those
technologies will provide me the necessary skill-set to
start up something of my own in future.

You should do some research on your university before
visa interview. You should know its exact location and the
location of different campus as well (if any). Location
might be one of the reasons that you selected this
particular university, so make sure that you know its exact
location.

You should be confident and say yes. Visa Officer wants
to know if you have enough funds to meet your educational
expenses.

Yes.

Visa Officer wants to know your intentions. You should
answer in such a way that Visa Officer is convinced that you
are financially strong and plan to return to your home
country after completing your studies.

Your answers should reflect clarity of thought, clarity
of your intentions and strong ties to your home country.

I am sure the recent growth of Indian economy will open many
avenues for me to start my company back in India. After
acquainting with latest technologies in Canada, I look
forward to start my company here in India.

Before going for visa interview, you should contact
professors in your department. VO wants to know how sincere
you are for doing graduation from your chosen university.

Yes, I exchanged some emails with Prof XYZ. With the area of
his research and the interest I have in that particular
subject, I guess I can be good research assistant under him.
It is always advisable to carry the printouts of the emails
with you.

Do research the university and find out specifically
the professors in your department before going for visa
interview.

Handover the degree confidently and look at the visa
officer. If asked only for a degree, do not show the mark
sheets of each semester.

You should convert your percentage in GPA and remember
it exactly.

Carry all documents in such a way that it becomes easy
for you to remove and present them to Visa Officer without
any wastage of time, whenever asked for. Always try to put
the better score on the top. The speed at which you are able
to show the relevant document whenever asked for also counts
a lot. Visa Officer wants to know how sincere you are at
your studies. Remember your scores and exam dates.

Visa officer wants to know your ties to your home
country. You can say that you plan to come back to meet your
family and friends here in India. You should not say that
you plan to work in Canada as that shows you are not
financially strong and you are going there to earn money.
This will make the Visa officer believe that even after
completing your education, you would like to do job and
settle there.

Mention the address where you have planned. This should
reflect that you are serious about your studies and have
made all arrangements for your education abroad.

You should remember the exact dates. Visa Officer wants
to know if you are well aware of the course duration and
start date.

Visa officer wants to know what the intentions of your
brothers and sisters are. Never answer in a way that makes
them believes that they plan to settle or overstay. Any of
them overstaying in Canada may not be favorable considered.
You may say that he is finding life tough there and has
plans to come back to India after completing his
studies/after a year or two.

Be truthful at this instance. Visa Officer will have
record of this (about your brother/sister/Mother/Father)
with them. If your distant aunt or uncle stays there, then
you don't have to say about them. All that matters is your
immediate relatives i.e. own brother, sister, father or
mother. Any of your relative overstaying in Canada may not
be favorable considered.

Such kind of questions is basically to verify weather
your family has other members for whom your parents may have
to raise fund later on. Basically such questions are asked
to evaluate the balance of income and expenses of the family.

Visa Officer wants to know if your father's annual
income is sufficient enough to meet your expenses of
studying abroad. They think that money can be put into
banks, but annual income is a proof which they heavily rely
upon to decide the student's parents capability to meet his
educational expenses. You should mention the annual income
as per IT returns.

His annual income is XYZ.

Make sure your answer focus on proof of having
sufficient funds. Go through the financial documents
carefully and mention the savings as per the documents.
Always carry a detailed bank account statements and CA
report with you. If you have taken an education loan then do
mention about that and carry a copy of Loan letter with you.

My father is having savings of around XX Lakhs. And my
mother has a fixed deposit of XX lakhs. Collectively they
have sponsored me for XX lakhs. We are also availing an
education loan from XYZ Bank for X lakhs.

Visa officer basically wants to verify the financial
capability of the sponsors. You are advised to go through
the Income tax returns, and supporting documents of your
sponsors carefully. Have a good idea of the income source of
your sponsors.

If you have a scholarship, say that. Else mention the
name of your sponsors, you may add that your father and
mother are supporting you for your higher education as per
the financial documents.

My father and relatives (As per Visa documents & Funds)

Be prepared to tell them that what you were doing
between your last school and till today. Make sure your
answers are focusing on your achievements, skills, you being
a sincere student.

After completing my studies, I worked in ABC Company as ……
Executive for X years. After that I joined XXX Company and
presently working over there for last Y years.

Mention the name of the course and the university. If
the university has high ranking or some specific feature,
mention that too.

You should know how much scholarship you are getting
and probably the reason university is giving scholarship to
you Visa Officer wants to know if you are aware of the
scholarship programs and financial aid. Also if you have
submitted any Statement of Purpose for scholarship then
mention about that and carry a copy of the same.

It is because of my academic records, GRE & TOEFL Score.

Mention if you are getting any tuition fee waiver or
teaching assistantship or research assistantship. That will
prove to be a positive point.
