kia ora it's your boy Michael and welcome back to another exciting video
since we got a very good feedback in regard to how I managed to get my
Canadian visitor visa approved and a lot of people were asking how I did fill up
my form which is the IMM 5257 so I want to say thank you for
your continuous support as currently we are on 1309 subscribers as of the moment
please do continue to like comment and subscribe to my channel and also shout
out to those people who commented I really want to say thank you as well for
the great feedback that I'm gonna post it right now
and just a disclaimer my answers would not basically be the same as yours because we do have a different
situation and again just to clarify I am not an immigration consultant or advisor
so I don't have the answers to some particular questions so what I can only
answer are the questions where I do have experienced those things so anything
outside the application of Canadian visitor visa without a relative in
Canada I'm sorry but I'm not able to answer those questions because I
don't really want to give out wrong information so we have a different
scenarios we do have a different situation currently I'm staying here in
New Zealand I think that's actually helping because I have our work visa in
here I think that helps but I've got a lot of comments saying that the video
actually helped a lot some people actually got their visa as well through
the help of my previous video if you haven't watched it yet should be right
here just click it there so now let me show you how I completed my IMM 5257 form
First go to google and type in IMM 5257 that's the name of the form
and click on the first one which is the PDF form and you'll be
routed to this page you need to click the open with different viewer
it's on the right side and then just save the file now since I already have saved
this in my computer let me just cancel this and open the PDF form this is how
the PDF form IMM 5257 looks like
in the first one the UCI you don't need to put anything, just go to number 2 I want service in which
is the language so just click English or your French and then what is the purpose
so this is a visitor visa and of course you need to put your personal details
last name and the first name, and for this I am just putting a generic one and of course if
you're married or if you've used any other names before you put in here your
maiden name which for me of course no so the third is the gender so male female unknown
male and the date of your birth I'll just put in 2000 January 1
Place of birth so just putting in here Manila which is the capital
of Philippines and country or territory would be Philippines of course
it's just scrolling down.
Letter P - Philippines let's go to number six
citizenship this is not like Filipino its F it's for country so it's P like it
doesn't work typing the name of the country so let's just type in the first
letter just be Philippines there you go number seven current country for
territory of residence currently I'm here in New Zealand together N and what
is the status of my visa I'm a worker here work
yeah so this is the validity date of your visa just put in here this is not really
something that I'm going to send anyway so I'm just get or put any date
okay number 8 previous countries or territory of residents it says in here
citizenship other than the country of your citizenship or your country of
territory of residence so if you hover your mouse pointer there's something
that would appear just read it so no for me so this would gray out
the information that doesn't need to be filled in okay so let's go to number
nine country or territory where you're applying number ten your current marital
status I am single so again it would grayed out the information that doesn't
need to be completed the number 11 have you previously been married in a
common-law no language what is the native language Tagalog for me which is
of course my native tongue national language English or French it's English
for me okay have you taken a test the test I've taken IELTS but they don't
really require you to show proof that you've taken one but it's a yes for me
okay passport details so passport number
of course this is not my real passport number so PH10001000 country or
territory where it's issued its Philippines
okay the issue date this of course would depend or you need to look at your
passport the entry date and expiration date would definitely be there okay
I mean maybe just ten years twenty twenty-nine okay so for this trip will
use a passport issued by ministry of foreign affairs in Taiwan okay this is
no but it's already grayed out so I don't think I need to put any or tick
any of this same as this Israeli so it's already grayed out
no need national identity documents have you. Do you have? yes I do okay I do have
but I just put in no but if you have PRC and anything like that just put it there
US PR card I don't have of course
PR its permanent residency card
US so that is no
it will gray out again other information okay so this is the current mailing address this
is where everything will be mailed out
I don'y have PO box just street number
of course it's not my address so the street the city
the town and here
would be New Zealand
Not Namibia
so let's look for New Zealand there you go. Postal code let's
just put in 1,000 and there is no district okay is it the same yes same residential
and mailing address and the telephone so definitely not the US or Canada its
mobile phone cellular and just put in here the country code 63 for
Philippines I think
okay I don't think we need to put in + okay it's 64 for New Zealand
63 for Philippines and then I'll put in here 022222200 something
okay
and then alternate number I'll just leave this
one fax number I don't have no email address my email at gmail.com
let's go to the next one details of visit so what's the purpose of my visits let's
see family visit going there okay how long
will you stay of course you don't have ticket yet or anything so this is just
approximate but of course you put in here less than six months because that's
the only time you were allowed to stay in Canada. Funds available for my stay
that's in Canadian dollars I remember putting in 2000 Canadian dollars in my case
they didn't ask for any proof or any bank details but of course if in case
they'll ask for you it's better to have that ready and available in your bank
account now let's go to the next one the name and address relationship of the person
that you'll be going to visit putting my sister so I don't want to put my
sister's name in here so relationship sister or maybe sibling then address in
Canada I'll put in here okay let's say that Street or 20 the street, the suburb or
are the province let's just make the capitalized so province Canada
the code just 1000
if there's any other people person beside put in here number 2
okay so education have you had post study
education yes I have I studied here in New Zealand so I'll put in here but I'll
just put in here no just for us to be quicker and then the employment your
previews work history or work experiences put any information from in
2019 of 07
occupation it's really hard to figure out something random coordinator
ok that is my position, company i'll put in here the company
again city of town Auckland and
the country would be New Zealand okay
for any other experience just put in in #2 and #3
but let's just move on background information
within the past two years have you or any family member have tuberculosis of
the lungs or any contact no this is health history they have a physical or
mental okay there's no of course not allow to put any information if it is no so
everything is no for me just read through it guys
it's just an easy question and just put in what is applicable to your situation
there's also clear section just click it if you do committed a mistake and it
would reset the whole part of this section
okay so number three have you
ever committed or been arrested okay that's no
let's go to number four did you serve in military it's no for me too
number five are you or have you been a member of associated with a political
okay it's no
number 6 have you ever witnessed or participated; so in here it's no
We're in the last part of this form which is a signature part so it's
asking do you consent to be contacted by CIC or any organization it doesn't
really matter if you choose yes or no in here if you're comfortable to be
contacted by email or so just like that just say yes but it doesn't really
matter it won't effect your application I consent this last part it's asking you
to sign signature of applicant or parental so since we're doing it online
you don't really need to sign this part but if you're sending it via a paper or
going to the embassy and send it or submit this by paper then that's a time
that you need to physically sign this because at the end once you submit this
form you will be attaching your electronic signature and just put the
date almost done here
just to scroll down and you see this validate
once you click this validate it would say validation completes completed
successfully if there is any missing information in the form it wouldn't let
you validate it and it would just give a read error message that you need to go
back okay it says in here please print the entire application and sign and date
the last page this page contains barcode that facilities data entry of your
application if you're applying online you don't need to sign your application
form by hand so as I said earlier you will be asked to provide an electronic
signature once you are ready to transmit your documents to CIC for the electronic
signature what I've used just use the MS word and just carefully
do a signature or draw a signature which actually works but it's a little
bit harder but what others do is also just on a clean bond paper just sign
there and take a photo which actually works as well ok so just click OK
We're done in the bottom of the page it is the barcodes and I've might have forgotten
to record the part where I save this so you just need to click on file and then
just save as and then just attach this IMM form to where it should be
included on your application hope this helps if you have any other question
about completing this form don't forget to just comment down below and I'll try
my best to answer as much as I can and also I'm answering the questions just
basing on what I have experienced because that's how I think the best way I would
be able to answer a question right if you're new to this channel please don't

Michael and see you next time bye!!!!
