I'm applying from Vancouver. I have contracts with 2 companies: a travel agency and as a real estate agent.I have worked remotely as both in the past and both companies are fine with this. Both of them state that I'm an 'Independent Contractor'. Neither of them mention working remotely,. Should I submit both, or just one, with my application. Should i ask each company to add a note mentioning that working remotely is ok? Financially I more than satisfy the requirements. Appreciate any advise.

When applying for the DTV online it asks for my first name and last name. From traveling in the past, I understand that for some countries you need to put both your first and middle name in the first name space. I’m trying to figure out if I need to do that for this visa application. Also if I do put my first and middle name in the first name space, it doesn’t allow me to put a space in between the names. Will this be an issue?

I’m hoping to hear from somebody who has already been granted the visa, who has a first and middle name, and applyed with a United States passport. What did you do and were there any issues?

Also, do they require a specific amount of income each month to grant you the visa or is it just a lump sum you need in savings?

I work as an independent contractor. I’d also appreciate any advice on how to apply when I both have my own buisness and also work for outside companies?

Thanks!
