...I get what you are saying ... but that's not the case all the time... there are procedure.... but it does not mean they follow it all the time... I know what I am talking about bro... U are right, procedure do exist.... but are they followed 100% all the time? Same applies to Processing time... is it followed in most cases?

That is not the point, whether they are followed all the time is not the issue here, the issue is that the op was sent a procedural fairness letter and you said he got nothing to worry about and should not beg them, you also went on to say: 'If they have no plan to issue ur visa, they won't even contact u'.

That is my issue with your post.

@vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv, pls how did you go about compressing files to 4MB max for upload to Proof of Means of Financial support for your application. I've been struggling with getting my file size to 4mb. I have a total of about 60 scanned pages for that section and I have compressed online to 9.3. Even sites like smallpdf.com says 'your file has already be compressed well and our magic can't do any better' grin . The only place I got further compression was on ilovepdf.com and it got very blurry and hard to pick out the printed letters on the files. I don't know what else.

Please help me weigh in o my people in the know. Thanks as always.

Hello House

Please I need urgent advise on my Canada TRV application. I submitted a family package on the 29th of September 2017 online. I got a letter today : Procedural fairness addressed to my wife stating that she did not disclose her previous visa refusals at US embassy in June and September this year. Though she answered "yes" in the section 2b & 2c on the form for visa denials but she only made comments on previous Canada Visa refusals only. The Visa officer gave us 15 days to respond to this letter with any representation. She has got US visa before but renewal was approved. She didn't withhold the US visa refusals intentionally, she thought since it was Canada visa application and after answering "yes" to the question, explanations concerning Canada refusals should be ok. My question is: After responding with reasons for non disclosure of US visa refusal , will our application be automatically denied ?? Has anyone ever encountered this same circumstance and visa got approval after sending reasons for non-disclosure? I am very worried, please anyone with experience about this matter should advise. Thanks.

A friend that this happened to got 5yrs ban. But they said she was welcome to reapply and pay another visa fees if she feels she can address the situation. E pele

Sir,this is where you have to be the VO yourself and ask What and what do you want to see and which is important.if your account statement number of Pages can be reduced,like print online and take to bank for vetting or bank should assist to spool in fewer page(even though they like more pages for more money).Ensure you have the key documents for this section and if possible move others Proof if means of Fin. Support to Letter of explaination.
You may also try using ms word or break your PDF into single pages and further compress some pages with very very less vital information (e.g change some pages to black and white and leave maybe cover page coloured

Its a lot of calculation to get to 4mb from 9mb without losing image/doc. Sharpness.

@Travelpes, thanks a lot sir. I really appreciate your time and input. I tried all I could with all these online compress pdf sites, online2pdf.com gave me the best compression but still wasn't enough. So i decided to get help at a cafe, and the guy sorted it out under 20mins. He edited each of the pages with corelDRAW and it all came back at a lil below 4MB. Thanks again, God bless.

The question is How much is available for YOUR STAY IN CANADA? This is d cost of your accommodation, feeding and other expenses like bus ticket, etc while in Canada. it excludes your flight from Naija to Canada.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by BYACHEM: 7:31pm On Oct 29, 2017
it is stated in the biometric letter attached for you.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by megastu(m): 5:57pm On Nov 01, 2017
Well,

They did answer me within 7 days and visa approved.

megastu:
Bros send them a mail.

I had applied on July 17th, they responded with a refusal on October 19th, 2017( exactly 90days) because my travel agent put Ontario in Los angeles as port of entry and departure, so they denied it for that reason. Atimes i feel too much docs is a problem for them. Just stick with the right documents.

My travel date was November ending. I quickly re applied again and hope they answer me within one month. lol.

Pls what can I do I really need urgent response pls.

Thank you for your response.

1. pls does it matter if one present hotel booking that is not yet paid for?

2. Also, does it increases chances of visa approval if one present a paid hotel and tour booking?

3. is closing balance of 1m enough for a Tourist.

please I need the responses of the gurus.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jboyjoel: 10:39am On Nov 02, 2017
Please I need you to help clear my views on whether it's ok for someone who has an immediate sibling that has PR and other approved landing documents in Canada to apply for a tourist/ visit visa to canny? Or rather than booking an hotel reservation for the purpose.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by paradisewoods: 8:49pm On Nov 02, 2017
Hi guys. I applied online for my Canada TRV, did all the payments online. My visiting visa was approved yesterday and I was asked to send my passport.

My question. How do I go about sending my passport.

Can I send it to the embassy myself or must it be through VAC? VAC is charging extra $50 for transmission fee.

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, you'll have to submit through VAC. That's what I did anyway; but I signed up for courier delivery to my house, so I really didn't notice extra charges.

To get a better answer, I think you should mail/call the embassy, and ask for the options available to you for your passport submission.
