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.

Meggito:
I applied March 21, online and nothing yet, in fact I only got updates on my application about 2 weeks back, apparently, they just started work on my application.

overlord77:


Wow, @Meggito you are still waiting? Well, I guess they are taking their time validating the informations you provided. The processing time put on cic website should be the average time and not exact. Just remain positive and wait it out.

I have never seen a visa application process as tedious as Canada's, na wa!

Hello People,
Please I applied for TRV for my family in Lagos (paper submission). biometrics done same day since April 12th. I am yet to get any notification from the embassy or VFS.
I usually track the status of application via :

http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/nigeria/track_your_application.html Its been more than 2 months!!
Is there any other way to track or follow up to know what the issue might be?

mesh2003:


Try and link your application online. you will get updates as your application progresses. You can also send an email to accra.immigration@international.gc.ca or raise a CSE form online. Its past the processing time.

darznets:


Thanks for the reply....Please what do you mean by "link application online"? I have used the tracking website I mentioned above to track and its still saying "application been processed at the Canada visa office"

Is there any other way to track?

Thanks for the info....
It was a long process but i was able to check it.

What I saw is:
Final decision: Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.

But VFS tracking is still saying its been processed.

mesh2003:


That's great. you can call VFS and ask if your passport has been dispatched. I guess you should get an email from them. But calling wont do any harm.

justolusola:
Can anyone help... if someone is ban in canada for 5yrs, can such person apply for us visa.
Hope d canada ban wont have any effect on d US visa application now.

The 5yrs ban was because he said NO, when ask if he has been refuse visa in US before. And, he reply canada embassy when asked for additional infor, yet he was still ban.
