Hello house,

I want to askIf someone should withdraw his application and pull out his passport and one is filling for another application, in the column to tick yes or no if one have been refused visa before for any country, will someone fill a yes or no?, people in the house pls enlighten me.
Another thing was that I noticed there was a refusal letter when I withdrew my application but they didn't tick the column for the reasons for refusal as they normally do when someone is refused? I just want to be cleared about this because I withdrew my application before the processing times was completed and I dont think there shld be any reason why it should be termed a refusal
Gurus in the house please I need your opinion on this, thanks

In my case, I invited my mother who was leaving for the Uk.[i][/i] I sent an email pleading that they process her application with UK visa attached and flight itinerary[b][/b]. They responded and told me I would get a passport request the next day, which I did. So you can try and plead with them. No harm in trying.

Ma'am, kindly rephrase. You mean you sent an email showing them that she has a pending travel to UK, so that they can expedite her canada visa?

Please My Wife want to travel to US to have baby and she's 7 Month Pregnant, Hope there's no issue with border police?

Hi jinkeltrucks, it really depends on the circumstances in which her visa was issued. If she was pregnant at the time but didn't declare and now shows up at POE for birthing, CBP may frown at it and this doesn't always go well. All things being equal, she would need evidence of prior communication with a doctor, possible a bill breakdown and a whole lot of money.
Please head over to the birthing in the US thread here on nairaland for clarification. Best of luck

Hello please i want to apply for Canadian Tourism Visa but i dont know any Tourist attractions in canada appart from Niagra falls. Please which site seen can i put that i want to go and see with my wife in canada. Thanks

Dear EBENEZERABAYOMI, please do not apply for this visa in your current situation. You are falling short of a lot of personal research which is supposed to help you make your case a strong one. If I was the VO, these would be my thoughts: If you don't know tourist attractions in Canada then why are you going there really? What points you to canada? Why cant you visit finer places that are even closer and the visa is a piece of cake to obtain and generally a cheaper holiday? This will, in essence, point the VO that you plan not to return. For me and I may say for a fact, Canada isn't so much fun to visit as a random place without having people(family and/or close friends there for instance. A VO knows that so when you make that decision to visit, they look for that one reason why it has to be canada. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful and serene place but if you're looking to holiday and see sights, Canada shouldn't even be in first 10 countries. If however you have a history of exploring, and can show it in pictures and passport stamps evidence, the VO will then understand that indeed you are an explorer and Canada is probably just one of the countries on your List. A VO must be convinced you will return before a visa is issued even though people then misuse it but s/he has to have that satisfaction based on the immigration laws.
My suggestion? Take your time, don't rush these things. Once the application makes sense to you, it most likely will make sense to the VO. My opinion always. Best of luck

Fejoks:


Good day people in the house, I want to apply for a tourist visa of ten days. My question now is that I want to know my chances of getting a visa because 1 I work in my dad's company as the site supervisor/ safety coordinator but my problem now is that I don't make use of my bank account because of the everyday access to money and two I receive pay on a daily basic because I am to pay site workers salary that is where I see my own money and is different site workers I send to pay in money for me. Now my dad want to transfer me 600000 with my balance of 350000 a month before I submit my application which he would address in the letter of recommendation he would be writting isn't that money lodgement?

Hi fejoks, money lodgement is not a crime per say. It just doesn't represent the true financial circumstance of the applicant so if you have bulk deposit in recent months before your application, a well detailed explanation should be laid out and the money should easily be traceable from source to destination.
Money is a factor here but not the primary thing. People with loads of money get refusals all the time like everyone else. For me, it is easier for the rich to even settle abroad. Ties evaluation is done as a whole. However, as an adult, you should be able to afford a vacation because this is a fun thing and not committment In any way so you could have also chosen somewhere else. See, if you were attending, say, your sibling's graduation/marriage and your father supports you with some money I think it makes much more sense. I'm not saying you should lie, don't, you will most likely even be caught. I am just trying to make you understand the difference in the visiting purposes. Also, you will have to show an account of at least 4months to enable the VO do a realistic assessment.

Does it mean canadian embassy is no longer granting visa or is it that people are not willing to come back to this forum to share their testimony... I'm confused about this blog. Hope is not managed scammers

Dear leleky, if an applicant qualifies for a VO by overcoming the presumption of immigration, a visa will be issued

No, this blog isn't managed by scammers, its a genuine blog. I just want to make brief contribution. Canada embassy in Nigeria have not been granting visas to genuine and qualified applicants recently, especially people using hotel booking to apply for Tourism visit. Though an invitation letter is not a guarantee of getting Canada TRV and likewise having a UK or US visa doesn't assure anyone of getting it. With reference to recent GCMS notes contents from friends and colleagues denied the TRV, Canada embassy doesn't consider hotel booking and tourism visit as a " COMPELLING REASON" to visit Canada due to Nigeria's current economic recession ( Stated on all GCMS notes recovered ) hence they ticked "PURPOSE OF VISIT". Most guys do make mistake by thinking that "Purpose of Visit" denial reason means lack of explanation of travelling purpose by the applicant, not that's not correct. I think applicants from Nigeria needs a more compelling reason to visit Canada apart from Tourism. Almost 98% of guys I knew applied for Canada TRV using Hotel booking got denied and they've visited US and UK without violating visa terms. However, that doesn't mean all applicants using hotel booking or applying as tourist would be denied.

Hi pappy0080, this write up makes a lot of sense.
First, we don't know exactly how a VO assesses an application but surely if you are genuine and qualify by beating the presumption of immigration, a visa must be issued. The VO can only ,maybe, reduce the validity if s/he wishes. Its not a personal decision. They are well trained.
I totally agree with the compelling reason part. This is obvious in some IRCC decisions this year on immigration. Example, they added 15 points to candidates seeking immigration that have siblings in canada. The truth is that if an applicant judges him/herself fairly and unbiased, they will refuse their own application but people don't asses their own application and they rush too much.
Purpose of visit truly does explain why you are visiting or what plans you have made for your TRV application, at least according to CIC website. Every application is different you know and travel history is just one way to asses an applicant. People I know have gotten visas with hotel bookings. The only thing is that when people get their refusal letters, they don't apply for their case notes. The VO can tick whatever h/she likes. They are not bound by law to reveal the entire circumstance of refusal if you don't request for the GCMS.A friend of mine who has lived in the U.K. For years to school, returned, and visited again for grad and again for holiday(still on the six months visit visa previously issued for grad) with no violations which the VO even acknowledged. he then applied this year to visit for his brothers convocation but it was refused and the VO knows he has been a frequent UK visitor. It all depends and its only a VO of a particular country, which in this thread a Canadian VO, knows what they are looking for and what ties are enough. Thank you so much for this contribution

Hello everyone , please I wanna find out if it's possible for someone who is schooling in the United States To apply for him self and family to Canada federal immigration skills
While school.

Hi Kokorita, you can apply for any of the immigration schemes anywhere in the world and here they aren't looking at ties to home country, they are checking to see if your claimed work experience is legit and if all documents submitted are legit. Please note that work experience is very key in any of the express entry schemes and a certain amount of money depending on family size.
Please head to the express entry thread here on nairaland for clarification. Best of luck

Hi, this is good but you only need google 'tourist attractions in Canada' and they'll all pop up so don't think listing them will sway the VO. An applicant has to make their application whole and connected. A VO is looking for something deeper than a list. For instance, say an applicant is planning to visit the west Edmonton mall which is breathtaking and is a 'must see' site, and you put a flight reservation to Toronto in you travel plans without mentioning how much a flight to Alberta will cost from Toronto (at least 500CAD) and any fees that may be associated with access and all what not at the location. The VO may not be satisfied because there is already a 'gap' and it would seem like you have not planned well. Obviously I am not a VO but if people take more time to make sure the application is complete and addresses all concerns a VO may have, more applications will be approved. This is my opinion.

Dear cascas, truly in some occasions, when people request to pull their passport and the processing time has well passed, the consulate sometimes just quickly assess it then dispatch. You will have to accept that you have been refused in the forms, however you need to take a complete paragraph in your letter of explanation to explain what happened and attach the refusal letter. I hope it goes well. Best of luck

Whatever the case, you are expected to be honest. If you received a rejection letter, you were rejected, even if you withdrew your application. If you are asked to explain why, you can now mention that you withdrew your application. But if you have been denied, tick the appropriate box.
