careerwoman:

Sorry your mum wouldn't be able to make your graduation anymore. Your application is still within the 6 week timeframe. it would have been easier to humbly request for the app to be fast tracked when you still had the graduation ceremony as an important reason for her to visit (Yes, the VOs are human beings and they have feelings too) I'm not sure you can plead for a fast track now since there's no urgency for her to visit anymore. You can either choose to wait out the remaining days within the app timeframe or still send them a mail..
All the best.

dear careerwoman, i always try to reiterate the fact that every application is different. i also try as much as possible to say things i know and i point out some are my opinion and personal or family experience. my last TRV application was last year and it was to attend my sister's convocation in which i had family members i intend to travel with who already have valid TRVs. my application was made 55days to my travel date with evidence i have family I'm traveling with for an important event when the processing time on CIC's website was 51days. i missed the event even after sending them mails and the TRV was approved 6weeks after the event and about 14 weeks after the application. its simple to understand. if, for example, your employer or bank is delaying to verify your employment status or legitimacy of the provided POF documents respectively, would the VO go ahead to process? this is why applications made at same time have their decisions made at different times. well, this is how i understand the process works and thanks for sharing your experience too

Aktyso:
I applied for TRV and was denied base on travel history and purpose of visit. Though I have visited US and still have valid US visa. My intension was to visit Niagara fall during my next summer Visit to USA. Can I still apply again when I get to US. I lent it is faster there or to re apply when I returned.

hi Aktyso, please understand that a VO is trained to link an applicant's ties to his/her home country not the country of application per say as you don't have a residence permit in the US with a NIV B1B2 visa. applying in the US can only deliver a decision sooner and not surely positive. all VOs receive same training. prior travel to the US also doesnt guarantee a canadian visa. it plays an important role in your application but the VO is judging your entire circumstance and timing to help him/her make a decision.apply for you GCMS notes to learn in detail why you were refused. in my opinion, being a 'de facto resident' is one major concern a VO may have for US visa holders so in your new application, integrate your itinerary into your explanation letter to make your travel plans clearer and never fail to make your engagement back home crystal clear. best of luck

Dear Ifymeme, please do u have an idea if any one that applied for Visiting visa from April 20th 2017 Via VFS paper application has gotten response as i applied in 24th but yet to get response from them.

Bro, let's be realistic here. You are a full blown adult, possibly a graduate who works and gets paid, yet your uncle is sponsoring your trip.
Why on earth would your uncle pick up such responsibility when he probably has a family or other things he is responsible for?

Most times, it's not about the huge sums in one's account(s) that secures the visa but the intent

If you were the VO reviewing this kinda case, will you grant the visa?

Anyway, that's just my opinion, you just might apply and get it. We can't really predict a VO's decision.

No I don't have an idea, the last time I checked on here someone that applied on the 6th of April received response from IRCC on 1st June

I agree with you. Various factors play different significant roles in one's application. All I have to say to every one applying, let your intent be true, double check your documents, follow your instincts and trust God (if you're a believer). everything will be made beautiful in His time..

I put the same date as the day I was applying and validating the form. I guess they understand it means till date. If you are attaching a letter of explanation, just mention that you are currently employed.

Do you have an invitation from the film festival organizers?

No,I don't have an invitation from the festival but I have already registered and fees paid to attend the festival. More so,it's not a problem because I have my film submitted in the festival. I recently returned from United States 3 weeks ago where I also attended a film festival in New York as an attendee.

Yes break it down on each form. They also know you are travelling as a family. On your letter of explanation you can then say that you have a total of 10k for the trip. Sorry am responding late. Time difference.

Your purpose of travel is all documents related to your trip. Put the film festival tickets, and any activity you will be doing. There is really no format. But your write up will be on the letter of explanation section if you are applying online. don't know about paper application

Thank you.
