So confused: Documents for VAC Appointment

Post Tue May 10, 2011 9:55 am

Hi there,

I've just applied online for my Tier 5 Youth Mobility VISA. I'm about to book my appointment with World Bridge in Toronto, and I'm very confused about the whole process. I know that VAC is where they take my biometrics and send the whole application off from, but now I'm getting mixed information about the documents I need to provide.

Can I provide my passport as proof of my nationality or do I need my birth certificate as well? I already have my maintenance proof in order.

I'm bringing the VAF9 and Appendix 7, my passport, a passport-sized photo, and my bank statements/letter from bank. Is there anything I'm missing?

I believe if you look in the guidance notes, you can provide your passport as your proof of birth and nationality.

the things you need to bring with you:
passport
bank statements/letter(s)
VAF9 form
apprendix 7 points assessment
proof of payment/online application (printed)
picture (note: the requirements for the photo is different than Passport Canada's requirements)

it says to ensure you include both originals and copies of your proof (at least I always do when sending things away). I am pretty sure people don't, but I would just in case.

Birth certificate is not required for YMS applications.

Great, thank you so much! It's been doing my head in, trying to figure it out with the instructions they gave me!
