Just to drop a note after following for a while.

I did an online visitor visa application for myself and my wife. I submitted Feb 2 and did the biometrics Feb 3. After a long wait, I got a message from them on March 20, that we could submit our passport. I understand that a decision has been made. I did submit our passport March 22. We are now waiting for the message for a final pick up of the passport.

Can anything still go wrong at this point?

Oh no! Do not get me wrong. I only needed to be sure that it is a positive response, considering that they asked for our passports. Thank you all the same.

Our documents were pretty straight forward. A letter of invitation and copy of the PR card of the host. Pictures that I took with the host long before now. Letter from my employer. Letter from my wife's employer. Our wedding certificates. My pay slips for the last 4 months. Her pay slips for the last 4 months. My bank statement (with slightly over N 6 Million). Scanned copy of our US and UK visas. Our Mortgage document for a property in Lekki 1. Registration document for an incorporated company in which I am a director.

Nothing major really. I did not have the energy to gather too many documents like some people managed.

Picked up the visa today March 24. It was positive. Visa was granted up to the expiration of our passports in 2018. Not bad. Thank you all. Wishing you all the best as you pursue your dream travels.

Hello. I sincerely doubt it. In my case, despite using the online application, I only got a message requesting for my passport after about 47 days. I am sure that the 47 days is not merely waiting time due to backlog of applications, it must have given them the chance to make calls and confirm details as needed. Outside of the US embassy, I doubt it if there are any other who does not confirm the assertions of applicants.

I know that the Canadian embassy weighs heavily the US visa, but then again, they know that the US hardly confirms information provided by applicants, so they may be interested in validating the information, notwithstanding the US visa.

Meanwhile, they may ask for a return ticket, but you need not upload it. You can find other supporting documents to show that you will return to Nigeria. Examples could be her commitments to Nigeria e.g. work, family that she is responsible for, financial commitments (loans, etc.)

Ticket to Canada right now for one person is about 320k or more. How do you convince the visa officer to give you a visa with less than 500k in your account and you're married with 2 kids?

If you do not have anyone to invite you, you can just do an hotel booking, that is what I did. I don't know what you mean by insurance letter.
