The VO would be more interested in your ties here in Nigeria: What do you do for a living? How much do you make? What are your responsibilities? Can you afford the trip? Is the trip necessary considering your financial status and economic background?


Please sir what is VO? I work with Nigeria breweries plc and my company gives introductory cover letter when one request . I can afford the trip though it will affect me later me later run but I don't mind. What is the duration of the visa...do the give upto 2years visa? I'll like a situation were my wife will deliver there by next year June or july. My plan is USA but our documents are in the embassy already. My wife is the only one born in Nigeria and the mother has filed for us, so am advised not to near usa embassy for now till we are invited. That's why I want my next issue to be delivered in Canada.

Hello all I want to say a big thank you to all those that have contributed in one way or the other on this thread. I've applied twice previously for a trv and was refused both times. The last application before this third time was in Nov 2016. Anyway I decided to reapply again on the 19th of Sept and did bio on the 20th of Sept.. on the 24th of September I was asked for additional docs ( children's birth certificate ). I submitted this on the 27th of Sept. To God be the glory on the 5th of October I got passport request for myself,spouse and 2 kids.

kaffy4tope:


Is it possible to know if a visa is approved or not when not submitted online too?

@ chibabe4christ.. yes I applied online for a canadian visit visa.
@Pappy0080.. I applied online from Nigeria. List of docs
1) All our visas both current and expired
2) letter from office
3)property docs
4) children's birth certificate
5)invitation letter from sister
6) Statement of account
7) Statement of purpose
itinerary
9) flight booking
9)my birth certificate as evidence of relationship with sister.
My documents were just basic. Submit genuine docs and leave the rest to God. If it is his will the visa will be approved.Like you said it's just a miracle. I had been refused twice already so imagine my mind set when I was submitting. But I thank God it all ended in praise.

Hello all, You guys are doing a great job here. My sister inlaw wants to invite my wife and son to canada for xmas, can we use her bank statements since she's the sponsor? She is of the opinion that I have to present mine which is not well funded. Please advise.

OmoBendel24:

If her account is healthy and good enough you can use only hers, let her be the sponsor if capable, proof of marriage should be added however. Regards

@Matana, congras once again!
I also got a visiting visa to UK but I want to know duration for canadian visiting visa, do they give upto 2years for first timer. I really want to visit a friend by Easter next year by Gods grace. Is it wise to apply immediately am back from UK and whats my chances. As for the docs you listed, I can provide all but my concern is that the person inviting me is a friend and my reason for visiting is to see her and her family because it has been a long time. Are these reasons ok or you can advice better? can you suggest of any strong reasons that is not suspicious. Please I need advice from you and other gurus in the house on how best to go about it

deejay102:


I'm a little confused here. Did you apply online? That's the only way you won't have to submit your passport. I thought you would know the outcome in your cic account if it was online. I dont know much I'm sorry, I'll let others take it from here.

gentleiphy:
It seems this Canadian embassy don't follow their time frame of processing...Submitted online application 5th July 2017 and did biometrics 13th July and i am reading of people who submitted August 5th being answered.Still wondering what they jump dates.

Epoh4:
Hi Everyone,

ICC has finally responded. I applied to visit my sister who has just put to bed. I was refused based on grounds of assurance that i would return considering my purpose of travel.
I submitted a leave letter from my office tho (been working for two years) as a proof that I have a job here and i will return.
I'm reapplying now and I just saw that the examples of documents stated under purpose of travel are;
Return flight ticket
Travel Itinerary; hotel bookings and
Medical appointment letter
I didn't include any of these in my initial application.
I'ld like to know if it's not a sign of desperacy to purchase the return ticket as that is the only option that applies to me here.

kaffy4tope:


Not online my broda, but some people said I can know the status of my visa even without applying online.

Hi, jawa and everyone in the house.

Re: Additional information for my visa application (V31xxxxc), UCI-939xxxxxx

Above subject refers:

I wish to refer to my Canadian visa application form, Background Information Section: Question 2b. In response to the question “Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?” I answered “YES” and gave reason as “MY APPLICATION WAS REFUSED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT DOCUMENTS”.
I will like to give more detailed information about the denials and hereby request that same be considered as part of my application. I forgot to add this detail when submitting my application online. Below are the countries I have applied to, dates and the details of the denials.

1. CANADA (UCI-93xxxc) Application No.: V3072xxxx
My first application to the Canadian High Commission, Nigeria; was on the 12/07/2015. The application was denied.
Reason for Denial: Travel history, Purpose of visit, personal assets and financial status (Copy of denial letter attached and marked “Canada-Refusal Doc”)

2. UNITED KINGDOM (Post Reference: ABUJA/955751)
· My first visa application to the UK was denied on the 30/07/2013
Reason for Refusal: (Copy of refusal letter attached and marked “UK-Refusal Doc1”)

· My second application to the UK was denied on the 05/08/2014
Reason for Refusal: (Copy of refusal letter attached and marked “UK-Refusal Doc2”)

· My third application to the UK was denied on the 15/02/2016
Reason for Refusal: (Copy of refusal letter attached and marked “UK-Refusal Doc3”)
Meanwhile, my fourth and fifth applications were granted and I was issued 6 and 24 months respectively. I have attached copies of the UK and French visas to my online Canadian visa application.

3. UNITED STATES of AMERICA

My applications to the US embassy, Abuja; were denied. I put in the applications on 2015, 2015 and 2017. All the applications were refused due to insufficient documents according to the Visa officer. I have also attached a copy of the refusal notices and marked same for the various applications.
With hope that you will consider the above information as part of my application.
