I dont really think the family pictures are necessary too . Then the refusal letter and declaration may not be necessary too because they already have every information on your refusal in their data . Just make up your document and submit . God will see you through

i have a friend who worked for lawma when she got her UK to attend a conference she was earning about N40somethingK, i was earning over N200k warking in a fin institution yet i was refused. She got the visa and had renewed and visited severally. As at last count when she renewed her 5yr UK visa recently her income wasnt even up to #65K.

Ability to sustain yourself on the trip and not recourse to public funds while on the trip vis a vis your ties back home; to mention but is fee is what the VO is looking out for

Your friend is not paying for the conference so the trip will cost her nothing.

olumig:
my pay is just a bit higher than his bro.

Why would one even dream of holiday in Canada while earning 180 Canadian dollar a month in Nigeria?

How much do you think it will cost him to visit Canada for.. let say a week and come back to Nigeria?

says who? and the airline will also lift her for free?

i really dont get your logic sir, could you shed more light?

My little experience with UK visa application is even if its conference being sponsored by the employer, they still check individual financial circumstance to sponsor such trip without 3rd party sponsorship.
Certainly Its expected that other income source be declared with say a backing bank statement. I assume the person must have addressed that in his/her visa app as that monthly pay I guess can't get one a UK visa except some supernatural involvement that influences such ECO decision if such visa is granted.

Honestly, I don't understand Canada. They have no reason to refuse your visa with your profile. I'm currently in the UK and have applied for Canada visit visa for a summer institute, I pray to have a different story.

There is visa office in London, going there for biometrics on Wednesday.

You mean I can reapply from UK here and have biometrics done anywhere I am?(London). Like you did? Are you UK resident, used UK address for your application? Please explain. Thanks for concern.

I'm a UK resident, thought you are one as well. You can apply though but you must be able to tell the VO why you are applying here and not where you have legal residence status i.e Nigeria.

Yes, you need UK address for your application.

You can't since you are not UK resident and you don't have tie to the UK.

@justwise & others.. I would like to visit Canada for the first time for holiday later this year. I have been to USA, UK several times. Kindly advise on the tourist visa process and documentation for a first time applicant. I intend to apply from Abuja please.

So sorry you were denied. I was also denied last year, but this year i re -applied.

What I did differently, I took my time to gather my documentations. Below are the documents I submitted.
1. Payslip
2. Statement of accounts of all my accounts
3. Pension statement of account
4. Fixed deposits contract note.
5. Photocopy of all my previous visas(I was using a fresh passport). I have been to the US several times, France, UK, Dubai, Germany.
5. Reference letter from my place of work.
6. Shares Certificates
7. Landed properties
8. Invitation letter (I have a sibling who is a citizen)
9. Letter from my insurance company for my life policy.
10. My kids are American citizens, so I made copies of their passport and birth certificates.

That was it. It was out in about 2weeks.

Bottom line, you can try again. Be more thorough with your documentations and above all commit it to God.

[/quote]

i get the main requirement but what I would like to know about is the FAT Account aspect...like how much are we talking about on the minimum?...

Dextra:
I know how frustrating it can be when you try to get information from the Student Visa session, all you see is "Medical hopefuls" and lots. I tried to find information too when I wanted to apply for my Visitor Visa. Anyway, recently I received a Multiple Entry Visa Canada So, the basic requirement are all in the website: Application form, Family information and all that. Now, other document to submit depends on your purpose of visit. You need to prove to the VO that you will return after your visit. When I returned to the country after my first visit most of my friends thought I was stupid to have returned and I even met few people over there who told me what to do to remain in Canada. I'm glad I was smarter and returned even before my visa expired. Believe me, I will never advice anyone to overstay. Plan to return at least for sake of next application. That is why they really want to make sure you have strong reason to return.

Items that will prove that you will return are: Strong tie to Nigeria, regular employment, fat account balance, assets, and previous travel history.
I hope this will be helpful to you.
I wish you success.

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.

@maternal thanks for all the information,please what are the require documents to apply for tourist visa as business owner.

justwise:



Madam are you telling a day old baby that your friend earns N40k a month and sponsors herself for a conference on behalf of her company?

sir learn to read post clearly. There is no where i stated my friend was going to a conference on behalf of a company and neither did the initial posters mentioned any of such.

cant one attend conference at ones freewill without being sponsored by a company or on behalf of a conference?

must a company sponsor her conference? her purpoe of visit was the conference becos she felt that will aid her getting the visa, her company has no financial comittement whatsoever only letter of introduction stating she is a staff. The same letter i got from my organisation yet i was refused.

i really dont get your logic still. if the applicant by way of submission is able to prove to the VO that he/she merit the visa regardless of how much the income is earned so why not?

Priceless200:


Why not. Provided you have every other reasonable ties back home. You're good to go.

exactly my point

oh yea...this visa thing could be really confusing... i have found the few advices given helpful...even though i don not understand some abbreviated terms used for example CGMS, SOP/LOE. Please can you help?
Thanks to everyone that responded. you are far too kind!
