Proof of employment for a Schengen Visa from French Consulate Vancouver?

Upvote:1

You can find the detailed list of requirements here

In short, you need

  • A valid passport
  • The filled form
  • The processing fee
  • Two pictures
  • Travel itinerary
  • Proof of accomodation
  • Documents supporting your status in Canada (your PR card typically)
  • Last 3 bank statements
  • Travel insurance
  • Proof of status in Canada

This last one is important, they're looking for significant ties here that you will come back for. If you're a student you can submit a letter from your school/university. They have a provision for unemployment too, I think they're more interested in ties in Canada than financial means in this case.

I think your family who lives in China will have to apply in China.

You have to fulfill all their requirements but it doesn't guarantee acceptance, I can't comment on the odds as it's entirely up to them to decide

The requirements are really having sufficient financial means for the trip and for the return to your country of residence and presenting sufficient guarantees that you will not try to immigrate illegally. Employment is not necessary per se and an employment contract is but one type of supporting documentation you can use to show that you fulfil the requirements.

Beyond that, it depends on what you mean by financial support and I have no idea what your odds are. Millionaires don't have problems getting visas, but having only a few thousands euros with no job and no other ties to Canada might not be enough. On the other hand, property and Canadian PR are good so that's a start.
