Wanted to share my experience with my application in case it might help someone. I applied online at the Canada, Vancouver consulate. My visa was approved within 2 business days. I was not asked to send any additional documents within those 2 days.

Applied as a remote worker

Sent in the following documents:

-photo, I used an online app called epassportphotos (app is free)this photo will be on your dtv visa so make sure you take one that you want to keep for 5 years)

-passport

-proof of address, I had sent my paystub with my name and address.

-Work contract that clearly states Im able to work remotely anywhere in the world

- current bank statement of 500thb (19k cad). I sent in a screen shot pdf of my online banking. I had to move most of the money into my account same day of applying. Account balance sent was about 22k cad. I did not have to show my bank statements, just account summary of the amount.

If youre applying in Canada I highly recommend the Vancouver consulate. Prior to applying I had sent a few emails with questions regarding the visa and got quick responses. Overall application seems smooth and efficient and a likely chance of approval (given you're sending all the requested documents)

Can't I post 1 year of Canadian Bank statement with all payslips amounting to more than 500k...with around 8k total currently?

You’ll need to have the full amount in your account as proof of funds. The one year of bank statements and payslips help show your financial history, but they’ll still expect to see the full required amount currently available in your account.

thanks Martha!

I work in operations management for a company.

Im not bringing any dependants with me. My bf will also be applying seperately and he is a contract worker in sales. I can post his experience when/if he is approved as well.

I do have a dog that I will be relocating...so I guess you can count her as my dependant 😅

Anonymous participant It would be very interesting to know how relocating with your dog works. Please share both your dog’s and your boyfriend's experiences with us.

Thank you!
