Canada Tourist Visa for my US L1 extension

[krrao 0]

Hi,

I am applying for a Canada Visitor Visa for my US L1 extension stamping purposes. I will be in Canada for a week.

1. For “Proof of means of financial support” - Are the following documents fine - Employment and salary certificate, 4 recent Pay Stubs and W2(last 2 year). Is a bank statement compulsory and will it impact my application if i dont submit one?
2. In the Visa Application form it asks for “Funds available for my stay”. What is the optimum amount I should mention for myself and my wife?
3. Do I mention the reason of my visit as “US Visa Stamping” or "Tourist"? Does mentioning "US Visa Stamping" affect the Visa application in any way?
4. My L1 expires in Oct 20, 2015. Incase my L1 Visa Extension gets denied in August during my interview in Canada, will i be able to enter the US? This question may be irrelevant but i just wanted to confirm that my assumption is right.

1 to 3 are about Canada.

4 As long as you have a valid visa.

I highly doubt people are expert here for your particular situation.

Most of my Indian coworkers go to India for such stampings. Some times they do get stuck there for 4 months.

Not sure how it worked in the past, using Canada as convenient route. But now for consular processing of immigrant visa, you can only go to a country where you are either citizen, or permanent resident of.

You might go to Mexico though, since Mexico would let you enter in as long as you have a valid US visa. There are entry points in Mexico where you can just walk to cross, and you won't even go through immigration. But you would definitely go through immigration when coming back to US.

AP could be an issue especially if it has in the past.
