Pls What is the effect of not signing your paper route application? Can it make application not to be processed or visa no approved. Has anybody gotten a visa in this situation before? Help a friend if you have an answer.

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.

Hi jawa thanks for replying, please I will love to know if Canadian visa officer have access to the immigration database in Nigeria apart from your data page because I intend applying for study visa to go for professional piloting course and I intend telling them that I have no bsc certificate because I don't have the certificate but I have my result up to my final year level with carry over of 11 unit and outstanding fees + summer of 500,000 because I attended a private school. I had to stop for a while due to financial reasons after my final year and a low grade of 2.10 and that result was achieved after i got A parallel in all courses taking final year summer but it was too late to make a second class which I was not please with my performance since 2014 . So I had to leave for a whike and work in my dad's company which we had a great contract this 2016 of close to 200,000000 but the contract is on hold for now due to financial crisis. now my point is that I plan using a big financial institution which the owner has shares in my dad's company and has decided to claim to be my aunty, that she has been taking care of me since when i was a child that I never had any education history apart from school cert with a very high grade in weac, GCE and jamb of 260 as at 2010 and computer training. Which I started working in her firm instead of furthering more as an IT personnel with salary range of close to 100000 and savings of like 200000 and that her interest is to establish me after the course of 8 month till am financial OK which will benefit her firm at the long run
1 will visa office confirm my application of not attending school from passport office and also job employment.
2 will vo accept an aunty as sponsor and what doc should I use to support that
3 instead of liying which I don't support but I have to leave this country to explore mind you I have an explanatory sop to my knowledge. Should I come out with my educational history as explain above. Please if you are a vo have mercy on me abeg

Thank u for ur reply. What is GCMS note pls? U have a very good point with all u said. My lawyer file for me that was 2013 when my application is rejected frm Canada embassy but I got the call from Canada consulate and they asked me to reapply. Immediately I called my lawyer the file is work. I reapply but they were denied me again. Despite it was them that called me to reapply. I have a good job am doing and also my statement worth 5million Naira plus. Hope that is okay for bank account balance? Beside is the Canada embassy at VI lagos still operate? That is where I want to submit. God bless u brother







Jawa:


Hi Snillous, it is good you have a huge gap between now and your last application to clear the thought of desperation. Thrice is a Lot of times so The first I suggest you do is to apply for GCMS notes of your last refused application. This will clarify things further, don't always try to 'repackage and refire' because it only works when you have 'mistakenly' addressed the concern the VO raised without knowing but that's a big risk. The documents you need to back up your application are all relevant docs attaching you to Nigeria. Again, this process is primarily about you and not the person in Canada. I don't understand what the police document he will get on your behalf will do anyway. Just an invitation letter is enough. The police don't dictate to the CBSA or IRCC. A CBSA officer's decision is almost final. The government gave them that power. They can even cancel visas issued by a CIC VO just the way US CBP cancel visas issued by US VO and they owe you no explanation according to their law.
It is also good you have traveled out of your home country and returned. However, this is just one way to assess an applicant and don't bank on that as Canadian VOs are not very interested in UAE and SA as travel history just like the USA VOs. You have to check other factors; marriage, kids, good job in line with your academic qualifications mostly, landed property, significant relationship with the person you're visiting as in your case. Its a holistic approach. Best of luck

Hello Jawa and other gurus in the house,

Please i need your candid advice before i submit my application. I wish to visit Canada in October for vacation. I'm thinking of using hotel reservation. Although I have family friends and distance relatives there, we don't have same surname, but i don't want to appear to have ties to Canada. I currently work in a multinational company, I've been to the UK where i spent 2 weeks of a 6 months visa. I recently renewed my UK visa to 2 years but i'm yet to use it. I have US F1 visa but i'm starting my studies in spring 2018. my only ties for now is just my work and my parent as i'm still single. Please I hope there's no red flag in all of this and do u think i stand a chance? How well can i present this application.
thanks

Genuinely, we all should pray for the approval of this person's TRV application. If this application doesn't come out successful for any reason, this individual will sure bring the roof down on all of us. How can you be asking questions and making contributions to a thread as this as though this is a Ponzi Scheme ground? Scammers ke? It is yet a little over 3 months you submitted your application and nobody will know peace here. People waited for theirs to be treated and completed with over 190 days last year and hell was not let loose. So, kindly calm down and soak in the pressure, just go about your normal business while you await a response from them please.... Hopefully yours is granted!

My husband is a manager in his father's company but he doesn't receive salary but a part of percentage which isn't recorded ....thereby not having payslip. Can he generate any payslip and apply?

Canada is more detailed with documentation more than America. If your husband can supply evidences of all the monies in his account, then you should be fine. He wont be the first business owner who doesn't have a payslip to apply for a visa. If he generates payslip but it is not recorded on his bank statements that is like misrepresentation. So be careful. All the best.

Dear Fejoks, this is too much information but i guess its okay.forgive my language but you can agree with me, if you are unbiased, that you seem desperate. this is what a VO is very well trained for. a TRV is issued on the grounds that the applicant will return and it is always best to present your circumstance as it is so a realistic assessment can be made by a VO. however, the circumstance you have just described does not look good. you need to take your time and prepare your application, please do not rush it as you may just be wasting your money.
to answer your questions; firstly, i dont know to what extent the VOs have access so dont lie
1) most likely not but dont lie about this
2) your aunty as a sponsor is not always the best and it depends if you are visiting for pleasure or for business and/or school. it is always best to keep sponsorship in the nuclear family as the VO will wonder why your aunty is sponsoring you and not using her money for other things which, of course, can be explained if you have solid reasons. to make a stronger case, you may even have to show evidence of the relationship but every application is different so nothing someone tells you about a VOs assessment is definite.
3) LOL. clearly I am not a VO sir. i just contribute to the best of my knowledge and make my opinions clear in some cases. i can never advise someone to lie in an application and if any form of information being expected is withheld, it may be considered a lie and appropriate sanctions will follow. follow your guts but take it easy. best of luck

hi, you may have to cut out your lawyer on this one. i am not sure i understand what you explained but i dont think it was the Canadian consulate that called you to reapply, my opinion. first, apply for your GCMS notes to find out why. 5 million nigerian naira is a lot of money, almost CAD20,000 which many Canadians cant even boast of, but this application is primarily not about your money. you have to show substantial ties back home to sway the VO, a tangible reason why you have chosen to visit Canada and a well laid out plan of stay with an intent to return home. the money must also have explainable sources. my take? when you receive your notes, make sure everything in it are addressed and then apply yourself and turn in your application at manor house in lekki third roundabout if you want to take the paper route. best of luck

GCMS would mean Global Case Management System but a simple googling would have explained that. if you plan to make this application yourself, you have to make use of the internet and do some research. this is not the UK visa which is primarily about money or the US visa where they are not interested in documents at the embassy. this is an intellectual one just like the Australian or new Zealand visas and that's why these places, including Canada, count as solid travel history worldwide.

hi rinw, i suggest you just come out as you are. single people get visas always. I am single and I even have family in Canada which is a tie but I have a Canadian Visa and this is the first one i secured as an adult without family sponsorship. to be honest, i even think having friends and relatives may make your case better, my opinion. it is a VOs choice to determine which conditions are good or bad and who merits a visa and who doesnt. the ties you mentioned above are the only ones i have too(work, family, travel history and im single) not a single landed property and an account balance of barely one million but my application was straight forward and my letter of explanation was detailed. i often imagined how easy it would be for a VO to assess my application. i also dont rush any visa application, something always goes wrong. i dont see anything wrong with your situation but of course, im not a VO.
on a second note, if your guts arent that strong, wait till you resume your studies and do like a term and then apply, it may be easier and definitely shorter but not necessary positive as some people i know that have gone this route were refused so applications are case by case. take it easy and good luck.
