To the Canadian gurus, I would like to ask two questions please:

1. I plan attending a conference holding in March 2018; when would it be advisable to apply for a Canadian visa especially as they take their time.
2. What is the recommended length for a bank statement - one month, three months or six months.

Thanks in advance!

Apply now

Canada is 4mths bank statement

Thanks. I Appreciate.

nefertitiram:


Apply now

Canada is 4mths bank statement

You can apply six months before your intended travel.

CIC requires at least 4 months bank statement.

My opinion.

Pls help me ask o. I just tire. Why is their process so lengthy?

My cousin applied for TRV paper route on May 5..... Please he want to know if it is possible for him to withdraw from his account because he is scared of whether his account has been verified by now? NB he is keeping 4.5m since April and can't withdraw from the account. How does this account thing work.

@Leleky

Your cousin can gladly go ahead and withdraw.
I withdrew a week after my visiting visa application and had no effect on my application and still got an approval

Please how many May applicants have gotten a response? Are there online applicants amongst them?

Hi babs4all, this is unnecessary. We have gone over it again and again. A Canadian VO will do his/her own verification if need be. Best of luck

Hi leleky, your cousins dilemma is not a new one. Once an account is submitted with an application, you can do whatever you want with it. You cousin should however be concerned about the money in his account and its timing. If lump sums have been deposited recent months prior to the application, its money lodgement and a VO can refuse the application on funding grounds if adequate explanation of the source of the funds isn't given because it then doesn't truly represent the financial circumstances of the applicant. If he puts in the money april and applied may, it's not a good plan. How the account thing works is simple; If you submit, a VO verifies by sending the document submitted by you to your bank's internal control for verification. They are verifying the document you submitted which was presented by the VO if its legit but they cant know the current balance of your account. You have a confidentiality agreement with your bank not to disclose that and the VO wouldn't even do that. So your cousin have nothing to worry about touching his money. My opinion always. Best of luck

You can't really be sure about this because the case of people withdrawing the money after submitting their application is not new, so the embassy can confirm the balance if they wish to do that.

Your bank can refuse to do that and the embassy can also refuse you a visa if they are unable to verify that bank statement.

hi justwise, in my knowledge and personal experience, the most a VO can do is to request the applicant provides a more recent bank statement him/herself, in a given time frame which is mostly a week for CIC, to support his case and clear the VO's doubts which the VO will then verify again. a VO will most likely not deny an applicant's application because the individual's financial institution verified his bank documents are legit but refused to disclose his/her most recent balance. he has no right to request for that information from the bank and the bank surely has no right to disclose it either. he has immigration laws he judges his applications by. i am certain of this. the risk here is that if he takes out his money, which is not a good idea, and the VO requests a recent bank statement, then he's in trouble. but this is life and something genuine can come up which he needs some of his money for. he cant leave all his money in a bank for a sticker and hope life problems solve themselves. a VO knows that too. i already mentioned it was not a good plan.

I think the language here is the issue, the embassy is not requesting for any additional info they are basically verifying what the applicant has given them already. When an applicant submits supporting documents to the embassy and sign the disclaimer to say that the info you submitted is genuine and represent your true situation then you have given the embassy the right to verify those documents.

A bank statement being genuine does not means that balance is also genuine because a lot might have happened while the application is on process.

The embassy is only cross checking the info on the bank statement they have and what the bank has, so the issue of requesting for additional info does not come into picture here.

If a serious financial issue comes up while your application is on process and you withdrew the money then you don't qualify for a visa based on financial ground because basically you don't have the money for that trip.

Thanks for your interest.
For years, I have been trying to apply for student visa to canada but to no avail. I am so ignorant of the process/processes and have renewed my international passport twice without travelling to even Ghana. I have seen a lot of posts in this forum in the travel section and am convinced that they are experience people here. PLEASE EXPERIENCE BROTHERS AND SISTERS I NEED A/AN DETAILED/EXPLICIT BREAKDOWN OF THE PROCESS.



THANKS SO MUCH IN ANTICIPATION

Very insightful.
Money lodgement has always been my concern especially now that I wish to apply for a Canadian visa.
