Canada Visitor Visa Document Checklist | How to Upload on GCKEY Account | TIPS and HACKS 

Hello you are most welcome. Yes, I didnt book my flight as well as didnt pay the reservation of the hotel prior to uploading those documents to my profile. Thank you.

Hello - you are most welcome! Goodluck to your application. ☺

How do I submit it please?

Hello to answer your question regarding your friend's case, I don't think it is necessary but nice to have, if you are going to ask me if it is ground for refusal, my answer would be a no. Still, the decision still depends on her overall eligibility. Thank you.

Yes, no need to book for flight unless approve. All visa applications are like that. Its just presenting to visa officer the total travel cost versus what you have in your bank. Somewhat giving them snapshot that you can actually afford your trip. Thank you.

Hello. You cant upload a folder on your gckey. And the system only accepts word, pdf, jpg etc, you can confirm which formatting are accepted by the system by logging to your IRCC portal/gckey account. Yes, need to scan all the docs. Each section is designed for you to upload whatever is asked. For example Proof of Funds / Proof of Means - this section requires you to upload anything related to finances. Thank you. I hope this is helpful.

Hello as far as I know, if you get there purely for tourism then apply for visit visa, else apply the best option that applies. In your case you should go with study visa, provide the admission you gained as proof, they'll review it and share the decision to you. Thank you.

Please watch this another video I created. To answer your question, go to timestamp 20:53 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CY7qWvVE6UQ.htmlsi=7PN4EsBj8X4LZoI3

Hello that is correct, when applying visas, roundtrip ticket is actually not required - the reason why i included those screenshots is to show to the visa officer the estimated amount of my travel costs, it would help them determine if i can really afford my trip to Canada. This is very effective formula based on my experience applying for a visa not only for Canada alone. Hope this helps. Thank you.

Hello apologies, could you elaborate your queries? Thank you.

Just adding that I do have a valid USA B1 tourist visa which I can use till 2028. Can this be the reason I dont need to update anything around Financials and Purpose?

Apologies but I opt not to disclose. However, rule of thumb based on my experience applying visas is to make sure that you had sufficient document that can back up as to where you acquire the amount you had in your bank. Example, you had 10k cad but its not the amount you can actually get in the last 6 mos or unless you can show them you have been working for more than 5 years so thats why you already have that huge savings. Another factor is the number of days you wish to stay in Canada. Ideally, you should only declare 2 weeks - this is the safest, anything length beyond that is red flag. Thank you I hope this helps.

Anytime! 🙂

Hello not sure what exactly youre inquiring and which form exactly. Thank you :)

It's OK now. Thank you all the same.@@LibonMelangasTV

Technically you dont need to book for a roundtrip ticket, all you need is to present to the visa officer how much would be the estimated cost for your trip to Canada including airfare and accommodation etc. Thank you.

Hello yes for each section/tab don sa GCKEY I uploaded 1 file. Please try to search via google yon app na ILOVEPDF - very efficient in managing PDF's such as merge/convert/split/compress etc. Hope this helps. Thank you.

Ok thank you,, and one more thing,, san iuupload kaya yung cover letter and invitation letter? And san makukuha po yung IMM5257 or the application forms? I will watch now the cover letter or the Client information video

Thanks in advance again,, yoir video is my guide,, very helpful to my application

@@brixhawkeye412 Cover Letter is the Letter of Explanation itself, same lang yan. Invitation Letter you can include this sa Purpose of Travel tab. Yon forms po available yan sa Checklist nyo once ngcreate na kayo ng GCKEY profile nyo. You can download the latest version from there. Thank you.

@@LibonMelangasTV thank you so much po,, pag meron po akong nakalimutan ulit sa process,, watch ko po ulit yung guide video,, buti na lang po nakita ko itong vlog mo,, very helpful,, God bless po and keep safe

Absolutely yes :)

Hello I dont really see it as an issue, just wait for the decision. Anyway, if there’s something missing from the docs you submitted they will reach out to you. Thank you.

After uploading all documents, how do I submit because it doesn't display submit. Please help

You may visit any photo studio just notify them youll use it for Canada Visa application - they are fully aware about sizes and specs. Lastly, request for the soft copy to be sent to your email and upload it to your gckey. Thats what I did. Thank you.

@@LibonMelangasTV please how many copy is required?

@@mosesjacqueline641 Hello you only need 1 copy. Thank you.

Did you try basic troubleshooting like clearing cache, delete browsing history or even try another browser. Thank you.

Hi just write the date and full name is your signature

Hello thank you for your comment. Once the application is submitted there is no way for us to upload something on the portal. The other option you can do is email them your additional documents. You may look for the email for canada visa so youll be assisted accordingly. Thank you.

I have created a full playlist of all Canada Visa related videos kindly navigate to Playlist on this channel. Thank you.

Hi Mam! ang nakalagay kase sa na upload kong documents not Submitted to IRCC. Ano ibig sabihin? Do i have to create an act in IRCC din? Thanks

@metrofacesadmin2333 Look for the video on the step by step guide po nasa playlist. Hindi po kase matik nasend agad sa ircc pag inuplod mo lang ang docs. Your entire application dapat ang isubmit mo po, thats the right process. Sharing my video on the step by step guide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CY7qWvVE6UQ.htmlsi=AH_9hVBe8F5e0mTk Go to 20:54 Thank you.

Please watch the video entirely I have discussed all of the documents required in this video at which section in the gckey you can add your supporting documents. Thank you.

Invitation Letter is just a supporting document, Cover Letter is your write up as to why you should be granted with a visa. Thank you.

Hello Im not sure exactly what is the question here. If you dont have company then you are not required to upload any business registration document. Thank you.

thanks for the feedback@@LibonMelangasTV

I dont know if I understood the scenario corrctly, by saying you cant upload are you referring to the upload sections to be just one? As far as I can recall, all the sections that will be created to each applicant for them to upload their docs are purely based on the questions asked in your gckey. Thank you.

@@LibonMelangasTV Hi, I was referring to some of the supporting documents they ask like the travel history for instance. I have 3 different files of different trips she has done. The page only lets you upload one by category. The passport one for example, my grandma has two passports and they ask to provide all passports we have and also pages with any stamps or markings. Again, they only let you upload one file per category.

@@camaleon18 For all the sections - yes it is set up that way, you need to manage your files by merging your docs using another application. In my case, I used the ILOVEPDF app in managing my docs. It is a free application for managing PDF docs such as merging, splitting, converting, etc. I hope this helps. Thank you.

@@LibonMelangasTV yes, I had already figured that out prior to your reply. Thanks though

Hi Ms. Libon, thanks for your video. Question po..once i uploaded a document is there any way to retrieve it? Thanks in adv

Bale sa studio po hingin nyo ang softcopy ng photo nyo. Pasend nyo sa email nyo. Tapos yon na upload nyo sa gckey nyo. Thank you.

Facing something similar with optional document. Following for information

Hello thanks for the comment. Your option is to send it to the embassy via email as you no longer have option to upload as soon as you have submitted your application. Thank you.

I'm not too sure exactly what is the error. If you are able to download and validate it then what prevents you from re-uploading it? Try doing the entire process after clearing cach and deleting browsing history. These are the basic troubleshooting steps that were too helpful in any cases. Hopefully it would work with you. Thank you.

hello, I've been have the same problem. were you able to get a work around?

On your gckey there is a specific section for Invitation from anyone in Canada. This will get automatically populated only if when you answers all the question regarding if you know someone in Canada and you answered yes to that question then that section should be available on your gckey. I hope this is helpful. Thank you.

Hello thank you for the comment. Please note that its huge redflag to have him as your sponsor. The Visa Officer will think that you will never return to your country. But you can give it a try. Thank you.

Hello thank you for leaving a comment. So with visa upload as a proof of travel history right? Is this what you are referring to? You are having hard time how to put them altogether into a 1 file? If I understood it correctly then here's my suggestions: - You may first capture all of your visas by taking a photo of each. - After that, place them all into a Word document. - Convert your Word document into a PDF file. - Since these are photos, they might be huge files so I highly recommend you compress your newly saved PDF file via the Ilovepdf app. You can search for it on Google. With Ilovepdf app you can compress, merge, split your file. Just try navigating the app and you will appreciate its usefullness especially managing upload on your Canada Visa application. I hope these will help you out in managing your upload file. Thank you.

Also my uncle is driving me down to Canada and I'm not taking any flights what do I do?

This I think ideal when your visa is approved already. However when applying the most important when they evaluate your application is your capacity to make your trip. On how to show that is thru your bank statements which demonstrate the total cost of your intended stay regardless of how you plan your trip. I hope this is helpful. Thank you.

@@LibonMelangasTV yes thank you ❤️

Hello po thank you sa comment.In my perspective, I recommend creating an account first, upload all the documents required and send the application first. In parallel, while the application has been submitted already for review. Get your medical done (upfront medical). I hope this is helpful. Thank you po.

@@LibonMelangasTV maam thank U so much for ur reply... last questions po.... sa pag create po ba ng gckey account individual po ba kami?... and may bayad po ba upon submission of the application and if meron how much po???...maraming salamat po maam

@@FnFmedia496 Youre most welcome. Yes upon submission is processing the payment parang check out sya pag nag online shopping ka ganun. 185 CAD yon akin dati for tourist visa not sure how much for student visa baka same lang. Ksama na yon biometrics fee don. Alam ko pwd isang account lang tapos under ka sa principal applicant. Thank you.

Yes pwede as long as pag nacompile mo d lalagpas ng 4MB. Thank you.

Hi po @Lebon, yung na scan po na pic dapat po bang full page ang i cover nito? Thank you po

@@junetataneo1380 Hello paki elaborate po ang question, which pic specifically ang sinasabe mo dito. Thank you.

Thank you po! @Lebon, lahat po nang requirements po na scanned. Like po sa COE, passport biopage, etc. Dapat po ba isang pic lng sa isang page?

@@junetataneo1380 Not necessarily isang 1 pic per page. Basta kaya ma-accommodate lahat ng gusto mo i attach into one file not more than 4MB - Up to you to manage how to compress it. Thank you.

Hello thank you for leaving a comment, yes I do have a soft copy of my LOE and also I created a separate video for LOE Please follow this link : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HpIUDZdYU3s.html For the soft copy drop me a message on my FB Page thank you.

@@LibonMelangasTV thank you very much

Apologies, try reviewing your file and re-upload again, for some reasons I couldn't determine what seems to be the error from your side, this is a form where you need to fill out completely and validate as well. So if you have validated it successfully I dont know what else is the issue. Thank you.

Lahat po ng forms ko po I never signed them po. Pag online application po no need to print - ensure na may adobe installed ka para ma-manage mo ang pdf. Either you click yon validate po nasa pinaka top to madalas if wala ganitong option for you look for it sa bottom if wala pa rin then maybe hindi na need validate, for signature pag online put your complete name lang and date sa bottom thats it no need for traditional na signature. Thank you.

Hello thank you for leaving a comment. I dont see any issues, so yes you can absolutely give it a try. Thank you.

When uploading documents try to check if you indeed met the standard requirements such as file size etc, review your doc once and try again. Thank you.

No need to purchase yet - purchase only when approved, thank you.

Nothing will happen to your application, it will get reviewed - business as usual. Unless the officer will ask for that then youll get notified to email it to them. Thank you.

@@LibonMelangasTV Thank you so much for the help ma'am.

@@vanessareducto2701 Most welcome 😊

I'm not sure exactly what you meant by you reset it. As far as I can remember once your application is submitted I don't think you can make some edits on it. Please check once more. Thank you.

The page that captures your details and photo. Thank you.

Thank you for appreciating our content.

Awww HUGE congratulations po! Most welcome :)

Hello - yes I did, you may watch this video entirely. I have discussed here all docs I have uploaded in my application. Thank you.

Hello, I don't remember if I have added my educational info/documents. Maybe you are referring to a Student Visa this is for a Tourist Visa. Thank you.

Hello look for this page in the gckey account.

Hello apologies, I don't get your question.

Helll po, yes I used the old (gckey) portal when I applied for my canada visa. Thank you.

Hello po thank you sa comment. Ang sa naalala ko sa akin. No need na ng signature e basta type mo lang name mo don sa dulo ng form yata yon and then click on Validate button sa top. Goods na dapat after non. Pero click the Validate button once lang - only pag final na tlaga, kasi yata everytime i validate mo mag generate sya na barcode. Thank you.

Thanks po mam! So meaning lahat ng forms nila is merong validation? Waahhh ung imm5257 lng kc ndownload ko n may validation.. ung 5645 ko eh wala.. Thanks po mam! Nhihirapan lng po kc ako mag ayos ng mga requirements.

Try to download for yourself po and see para malaman nyo po. Yes generally speaking may ganun once validated may barcode na magenerate. Thank you.

Hello thank you, please see below for my app timeline. Thank you. Application Timeline: Application Lodged - Dec 29, 2021 Bio Instruction Letter - Dec 31, 2021 Bio Submitted - Jan 04, 2022 Passport Request from IRCC - Feb 17, 2022

Hello not sure also po d ko na encounter when I applied back then. Try check sa google what are reasons na d magpush thru ang upload po. Or consider using other browser, clearing cache delete browsing history parang total refresh ng browser para clean lang minsan nagloloko e. Hopefully this works. Thank you po.

I'm not sure if I understand the question - please elaborate. Thank you.

Hello, after uploading it won't automatically sent/submitted to IRCC you have to click on the submit button on your application view on your GCKEY profile, and then process payment and submit, this is the last action, once done your application is sent to IRCC. Thank you.

Hi maam in my Purpose of travel pwede bang yung invitation letter sa akin ilagay ko kasi wala akong hotel bookings since I stay sa place ng nag sponsor sa akin.

@user-ye6or5ne4y depende po ito pano nyo i position ang application nyo. Padouble check if under Purpose of Travel ang invitation letter ba is one of the required docs, kase if sponsored ka may sariling section yan sa gckey, review mo ulit.
