Explaining variable or seasonal income
Where earnings vary, use records that describe your actual occupation and funding circumstances. Avoid presenting a single unexplained transaction as a complete account of how the trip will be paid for.
Connect your proposed dates and budget to the current situation. The application should remain accurate even when your income does not follow a regular monthly salary pattern.
Before contacting us from Goa
Have your nationality, proposed dates, travel purpose and whether a Canadian host is involved ready for the initial discussion. Ask what assistance is included and what the charges are before proceeding. Keep original documents with you unless a specific next step has been agreed.
Our document checklist explains the main record groups. The application process covers submission, official instructions and later requests.
