The OP was given the same advice a year ago and chose to ignore and apply for a spouse visa instead.

I know. I still think it's a good idea though.

So do I. Whether the OP acts on it this time remains to be seen.

from the OP post #13 in this thread, if his grandfather was born in Calcutta India (not Scotland)- how would this qualify the OP for an ancestry visa?

The grandfather was born in Scotland, the father was born in India. The OP was born in India but is now a Canadian citizen.

confused...maybe the OP can jump back in on this?

Can the OP confirm whether his grandfather was born in Scotland or India

Only from what was posted in post 13, how would his grandfather be Scottish, unless it was by descent?

The option of the Ancestry visa for this OP was discussed last year.

The OP could not find any documentation to back up his UK grandfather's background so it was never pursued.

The OP went the marriage visitor visa and is now pursuing a spouse visa.

Re: Going Back
 
goins, was your grandfather born in Scotland or India?

If your grandfather was born in Scotland then you would need to get his birth certificate, as well as your father (born in India) also

do you know or can you check to see if your fathers (FULL LONG FORM]birth certificate has any further details on your grandfather, as to his place of birth, date of birth etc, would be the place to start.

Which of the above do you have?

I subscribe to both Ancestry and FindMyPast as well as several other type sites. It is my hobby & I have compiled family trees for folk other than myself.

I believe you will have
Your own birth certificate
Your Dad's Indian birth certificate
Your parents marriage certificate
Your own Canadian passport.
