On the Aadhar card, you can find the date of issue in the enrollment card or on the right side. Mine was issued in January 2015 by India.

The next question asks if I have ever used another name. I have never used another name, but some women may change their name after marriage. They can click on “Yes” and update their name before marriage or previous name if they have changed it.

Next, it asks for my residential address. I live in Kolkata, India, and my postal code is [insert postal code]. My mailing address is the same as my residential address, but if it’s different, you can click on “No” and provide your mailing address.

Then, it asks for the countries I have lived in the past five years. Since I have only lived in India, I will provide details for India. If you have lived in other countries for more than six months, you can provide the details for those countries as well.

Next, it asks if I have given my biometrics in the last 10 years. Since I haven’t, I can select “No.”

After that, it asks for the name of the person inviting me to Canada. Since I am filling this form to unite with my family, I need to provide the name of the person inviting me, which is my brother. I can also provide his address, or manually input it if it’s not available. I can give his phone number and email address as well.

Then, it asks for the amount of money I will be carrying to Canada. I am typing $5000 for a one-month stay, but you can adjust it based on your needs.

It also asks if someone else is giving me money for my stay. If yes, I need to provide their details and any necessary proof.

Next, it asks for my educational details. If you have studied at a university or college after completing 12th grade, you should click on “Yes” and provide the details.

Then, it asks if I have ever served in any of the listed organizations. In my case, the answer is “No,” but you should select based on your situation.

Next, it asks for my employment history for the past 10 years. I can click on “Add” and provide the details of my employment, including the dates, job duties, and location.

Then, it asks if I have traveled to any country other than India in the last five years. For this video, I am selecting “No,” but if you have visited any country, you should select “Yes” and provide the details.

Finally, it asks if I have stayed in Canada beyond the validity of my visa. The answer is “No.”
