Yes, I understand, and I would still give the same response. There is no hard and fast rule to drafting your letter of intent or purpose of visit to the Consulate. You need to demonstrate to the visa officer that you meet all the criteria for approval.

One clue would be to itemise all the requirements for a visit visa and address them section by section. (Check IRCC web for their requirements). Then conclude this by giving your firm commitment to abide by the rule and regulations of Canada as it relates to your visa conditions to returning to your home country immediately after the authorised period of stay.

You can sign-off on it if you want.
Okay, thanks so much

For visit visa, he does not need. The officer may just ask for letter of authorization from his dad giving his consent to travel with you since he is till a minor but depends on the officer.




Thank you so much Sir, I appreciate your timely response Sir

What kind of visa category. Generally, you do not need medical exam for visiting visa for period of 6 months or less. You may not need to worry about that if your enquiry is in that visa category?

For Student Visa - You need to confirm from Canada Students Visa Thread. I remember this topic has been discussed there.

Ok, for a working visa, you would most definitely need medicals. I would try to check if i can see those conversations or specific guidance on IRCC web and get back to you.

I think I have some good news:

I have done some quick research as promised into some of those conversations on Canada Student Thread also did my independent check on IRCC. Hepatitis B was not listed among the infectious disease checked. I don't see any documentation on IRCC that they check for this particular ailment.

I think you are good to go. Please see the link and extract from IRCC below:

Quick question, please

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Omobolarin: 12:31am On Jul 23, 2022
Hi famz,
Does anyone have an idea if a tourist visa could be granted even after the period of the planned trip to Canada?
I applied for a tourist visa to canada in the month of May from Germany, with the plan of entering canada on July 05 to July 15, but the eligibility hasn't started till now. Is there any hope of getting the visa?
Is it better to withdraw the application in this case?

It's possible for PPR to drop irrespective of whether the date of your proposed trip has elapsed, according to their visa rule if you meet the requirements u will be giving a visa.

You have to now look for another reason to visit Canada. If you want to withdraw the application. It's your choice

I haven't filled this type of application before, I think you should leave that option for employment for kids blank or if you must choose an option before proceeding select the one that say unemployed na, something like that lol

I have come to the realization that Canada is deliberately delaying visa application process and denying Nigerians based on Nationality and race.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by 987Real: 12:22pm On Jul 23, 2022
This is clear discrimination.

The agent that she used may not have packaged her application to lead to this because he meets all the required criteria and she has enough travel evidence to show ,something must have gone wrong

There is a status you can reach in life in which you do not require any agent to handle your visa application. Yemi Alade has gone far beyond using a visa agent.
Yemi Alade is an award winning musical artiste known globally.
The visa officers know exactly who she is because background checks are done but they denied her deliberately just to humiliate her.
Stop defending your oppressor.
Canadian visa officers are known for discriminating against Africans regarding visa application.

Nobody is defending anybody most musical artist don't apply for their visa you can go and confirm they have a PR Team who package their application to include all members travelling with them for any performance because they don't travel alone you can confirm, its not about defending anybody and if you don't know the VO reserves the right of who must visit or not its their country and they determine who comes and who goes its not about right or oppression

For those that recently travelled with kids (or are yet to travel), are kids below 18 years entitled to PTA please?

Did you all book a return ticket to benefit the PTA from the bank?

How easy is it to get dollars from the bank currently? Is it even guaranteed for the adult?

Or is there another means of money exchange that will pay more instead of paying two way tickets for two people and getting only $4k at bank rate.
I've heard of lemonade, but does it present a better option? Or did you all just resort to black market for dollars?

Please share insights

Read the reason for refusal that the group might not leave , you can see not only Yemi Alade but the group , like I said her PR team may have packaged many people on her list and this made the VO to reject it if it was only Yemi it will fly this is what many Agents do they will collect money and put your name on an Artist list and this may have been the reason for this rejection.
Read the reason for rejection below

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by phyla(m): 1:34pm On Jul 23, 2022
From my little experience, a child cannot have access to PTA. ONLY ADULTS HAVE ACCESSS TO IT!
You'll also need to show your bank a copy of your return ticket and visa to get PTA.
You may need to contact your bank early enough like 2wks b4 travel date for the process.
Just walk into any of the banks you have account with and tell them you want PTA and they'll tell you what you need to do...the naira equivalent must be available in your account.

Check under applicant information: Is your biometric number, date of biometrics and expiry date reflecting on your profile?
