its not a problem, usually you are given i guess 30 days from when they send you passport request mail to submit your passport and am sure you should be back before then since you are not residence in UK ba?

Yes canada has a shortage of tradesmen like a Welder. You should apply as a skilled worker. If you get accepted go back to school and get your red seal. Red seal means you're qualified to work in canada, USA, or some places in Europe. Nobody acknowledges or respects nigerian qualifications here which makes sense.

how do one get this red seal

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Travelpes: 2:10pm On Apr 09, 2018
With regards to online applications,you do not need to print out.Ensure you complete the form accurately,save and validate ones you need to validate before uploading.

On the custodian declaration,please refer back to your questionnaire that generated your uploads,you may have answered a question wrongly because you shouldn't have that for visitor visa.

@tp20112, @Nadnad, Yes this information is truly stated somewhere on their website and I think its referred to as CAN+. But please, endeavor to include your bank statement with your application considering our country's status and reputation. Let them make the ultimate decision either to or to not consider your submitted bank statement because you qualify for CAN+.

Or why else does "Proof of Means of Financial Support" come up in documents checklists after answering questions that might have suggested that one qualifies for CAN+. Better to err on the side of caution is all I'm saying. All the best.

Good Morning House, Please I applied for Visitors visa to canada online on the 21st of march. I only received confirmation of submitted application and receipt of payment. The next day I was sent a mail in my yahoo that I have a mail on the site. I checked, there was no mail for me but my kids application had a second mail stating that they do not need biometrics. I have being waiting for my biometrics mail to no avail.
Please Guru's, how do I tackle this issue? Should I write them? and if yes...which address? Thanks for your prompt response.

The question of "is your member currently,or will be, living in Canada with a parent or legal guardian for their entire stay?" Did you answer yes or No?

Time line
Submission 14/03/18
Collection 11/04/18
Decision: Refusal
Reason : (1) Not satisfied I would leave Canada @ the end of my stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
(2)Not satisfied I would leave Canada @ the end of my stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements.

Purpose of travel : Training/seminar for 2 weeks in montreal
Documents submitted were: Statement of account (salary account) with a bal of about 300k in the statement, payslip,hotel reservation, flight reservation, letter of introduction from my organisation stating that they would incure every financial expense to be incured for the training, letter of invitation and receipt/confirmation of payment from the training institution in montreal.
I have travel experience of dubai on the passport.
I was almost positive it would be granted cos the training fee already paid cost a whooping 5,200 US Dollars
I am married.
I am earn a regular moderate income.

Please house, What could be the reason for my denial?
I await your kind responses.
As i intend to apply again as training is for 28th may. what do you think?



So any idea on why the refusal as I was so sure in would be given.
vibrant99:
Do you notice Processed Visas are released in batches?
Denied or Approved!!!
By 5th of April, A large Batch was released, and everyone started coming with their testimonies and Regrets.
So the point is, Many people complain of Delays, and the fact that their application has stayed like 6 years at the embassy.
Your application has not being forgotten, it is on track and will be attended to, The time frame is 35 Working days not 35 days from Mon-SUN.
When you visa Takes 35 working days before you get a mail, you are 76% sure it is Approved, when it Takes More days, It may be that t requires more confirmations, still you are in the 76% positives, when your visa Takes just 2 weeks of processing, or a Month, it is a 45% chance of getting approved, so expect you application to take a while.
I am not saying this is a perfect signature of Canadian Visa, but if you have this at the back of your mind, you will be on a more relaxed mood, still anything can go wrong or go right for you in any case, and there are some people whose visa is withheld until what they want to do has passed, still doesn't mean you will get a Rejection, am sure 70% still gets approved.

Keep the hope alive.

Hello Great People,
I need assistance on the ffg:
1) should family picture be added to an application to attend a summit even when one isn't going with family?
2) will scanned copy of previous refusal letter necessary or just a declaration? Do one need to state refusal reasons?
3) Will electronic bank statement for both company and personal (not stamped) suffice or should the statement be stamped?
4) If bulk of savings from Salary goes to the company cooperative account, do one need to get a letter from cooperative establishing it?
5) Will any of the following be required? Company CAC, employment letter, promotion letter, transaction emails?
6) What fund should be fine for 5-7days stay there
Thank you as I anticipate your kind response. Thanks

Hello there,

I'm in the same boat, I have received an email yesterday (more than 24hrs ago) from cic that I should sign on to my account to check my updated status.

I did, couldn't find any message, even from vfs text/email for anything. My app was online, submitted 12th March, biometrics 13th March. Please what could be happening? Any experience? Thanks all
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jelmusboy(m): 8:30am On Apr 13, 2018
I just checked the quoted paragraph and I was wondering how it is related to the reason for refusal.

Paragraph 179 of IRPA stated that

179 The judge has all the powers, rights and privileges that are vested in a superior court, including the power

(a) to issue a summons requiring any person to appear at the time and place mentioned in the summons to testify about all matters within that person’s knowledge relative to the inquiry and to produce any document or thing relative to the inquiry that the person has or controls; and

(b) to administer oaths and examine any person on oath.


So, why? These people just want to refuse you and nothing else
