Subject: Letter to Visa Officer!
  Hello,

I had a question in mind and it is that, should I attach a letter to the visa/immigration officer along with other documents, clearly and categorically mentioning the reasons why I will definitely come back to Pakistan after my stated stay in Canada? or do you think it would be a bad idea?

Please help...

is this for a temporary visitors visa? anything you can supply that will assure CIC that you are going back to Pakistan is to your advantage. You should also include a letter of invitation if you are visiting friends and family.

Thank you for your reply sharon.
Yes i am applying for a temporary visitor visa. actually i am recent graduate from medical college and i have been selected to do 3 months of research in Ontario. i will attach the letter of acceptance from the professor but i have been told that that is not enough either.

so in that regard i wanted to know if personally writing a letter to the immigration/visa officer telling him the reasons why i will come back for sure. it is a pretty unorthodox and odd way i guess but i wonder if it would be of any success!

I think you need a work permit.

that is why I am thinking you need either a work or study permit.
