Is it a crime to have a gf/wife in Canada and want to visit? Even though this is what experience says, I feel it isn't cast in stone. If you have a job, kids and all here as home tiez, the individual can also abandon them all if

Hi deejay102, why do you have so much doubt? You know every application is different. People who earn four times my salary get denied visas daily while secondary school students get approved daily. Every application is assessed differently and circumstances differ. Ties evaluation is a wholistic approach. Please make sure you eventually clear these doubts before applying to get value for your money. If you apply for a visa with doubts, it'll hardly come out well. A VO is trained to see through your application. Be patient. Best of luck

Thank you once again for stopping by. Always appreciated. What I am doing is actually trying to clear my doubts or at least address it in my explanation.. I understand applications are different and each treated uniquely. I am doing my best to have an air tight application to the best of my ability and as confidently as I can. Thank you again.

It's not cast in stone. I got a visa to visit my fiancee.

Oh! Thank you! Some hope there.. However, did you have the home ties hurdle? When did you get the visa? If you don't mind, can you list docs presented especially the ties? I need to see my wife seriously... Loneliness is killing me o

Oh! Thank

I'm a student in the US. I submitted the following:

Teaching assistantship letter
Payslips
Employment verification letter
Lease agreement
Bank statement
Proof of payment of tuition
Fellowship letter
Proof of enrollment
Detailed itinerary
Letter of explanation
Invitation letter with all her details

That's about it.

Thanks. Your situation is quite different but somewhat related.. I can see the ties to US clearly. I appreciate you time. Thank you

Alright you're welcome. I hope you're able to get it.

Hi fortissimo , pls wanna find out. My cousin is presently a student in the United state , his wife is his dependent. There only child is an American citizen. He intends to apply for a visiting visa to Canada. His child hood friend is willy to invite him and send him all necessary documents needed. But his fear is that he was once refused Canada visa with his wife. In 2015. The reason for refusal was based on current employment status. What ur advice. Thanks

dear unclerukus666, in my opinion, you seem to be relying on your step-mum's ties to canada to secure a visa. this is a wrong approach and may not end well. as a visitor, your duty is to demonstrate to the VO that you are established at home and that it is indeed a temporary visit permit you seek. the timing of your application may be late if you plan to travel int the planned period. basic documents you may need as a student;
a well drafted letter of introduction explaining why you're making this trip, the plans you've made to handle all sectors the VO would be interested in including, but not limited to; accommodation, transportation, funding, travel history, why this trip is to be made to Canada and most importantly why you cannot abandon your studies and disappear.
all CIC forms duly completed and signed
your international passport
documents to backup accommodation, transport, money(account statement), sponsorship letter(very detailed including your name, DOB, passport number and specifically how much you're sponsored with), school introduction letter properly endorsed and possibly your academic transcripts.you must also show evidence that this woman is your step mum.
keep your application truthful. Best of luck

Hi jawa
Thanks for the previous advice.
I now have all necessary documents, includes a letter of visitation. but i heard i need to get a sponsorship letter and bank statement from someone here, and it could be from my (mother, father, uncle or even a family friend ).
So what should be the content of the letter of sponsorship.
Thanks

He should go for it while proving enough ties to US and if possible, Nigeria too. Processing time is about 3weeks so it's not too long a wait time. I don't think the previous refusal is a big deal especially now that his circumstances have changed.

Is it compulsory to add LOE? My SOP contains all necessary details already, I don't know what else to explain o.

Hello All , How long does it take to get Canada Visa Issued ? I have submitted my application (Paper based) for past 55days and no response yet from the VFS . I am due to travel to US in 10days and i have my ticket already . Its confusing because i read it takes only 2-3weeks to issues TRV Visa ? What do i do ?

Hello people...just want to know if anyone has same experience with my sister. She got her package from CIC no visa was issued and no refusal letter included in her returned documents. Thanks for the responses.

Dear fortissimo , thanks a lot for your prompt respond, please I wanna ask again when you say ties in Nigeria what do you mean by that can you please throw more light on that thanks

hi, please keep your sponsorship to your nuclear family. its always best that way.
the letter should be concise. introducing you in every detail including your DOB and passport number and specifically how much money you are being sponsored with and why. signed by the sponsor with contact details. also include a relationship evidence to the sponsor. maybe their passport data page and if its a parent, your birth certificate clearly showing the names as on the passports. best of luck

dear jay500, sorry for this dilemma, it is a sad one. this may be specifically the situation considered before the online portal was introduced. in my opinion, you have two options;
1) contact the immigration office and request to pull your passport and make your US trip. this pays off sometimes especially if this request comes in when your processing time has well elapsed and can push them to process but i wont bet on that.
2)postpone your US trip if its a completely leisure trip and wont cost too much and continue waiting. this will be particularly painful if the TRV is refused but be positive.
you know your circumstances fully so you will be a better judge of the option that suits you.
best of luck

Hello people...just want to know if anyone has same experience with my sister. She got her package from CIC no visa was issued and no refusal letter included in her returned documents. Thanks for the responses.

dear Joe980, i have not experienced this personally. however, if a passport is returned without a visa sticker, the TRV request has been refused. the absent letter is most likely an omission in the part of the visa officer as they are also human. i think she should apply for her GCMS notes to get the detailed reasons for her refusal. before she plans to reapply.good luck

Jawa:


hi ifymeme, every application is different and on its own merits.with a simple request, the VO already knows about your US history and may have foreseen this plan you just concluded on. you mentioned you applied via paper route meaning your passport is included in your application. the VO will see the US visa and note that. however, a US visa will not guarantee a canadian visa(should influence but not guarantee) whether used or not. i know people personally who have valid US visas, traveled multiple times before applying for a canadian TRV and it was refused. dont stress it, VOs understand plans change. last year, i had planned in an application to visit saskatoon and Calgary international as my POE. work happened and i didnt have any space. eventually traveled november via Pearson intl in Toronto on egyptair because lufthansa wanted to kill me with pricing on the calcary route.
my opinion is, your application has already been made, you cant really change it. just keep your fingers crossed,regret nothing and pray it goes well so you can cross over and over in Niagara falls and chop life.
alternatively, you can email them about this new plan and its details and see how that goes. best of luck

Dear sarang, kaptainafrica is only cautioning you. In my opinion, it is a good gesture. We are all here to learn from one another. You cannot deny the fact that this is always a very great burden to overcome. Indeed the instances he gave are plausible and the VO may think of that. You may want to point it out and address that in the explanation letter. If you dont admit it and follow the application one step at a time and very intellectually, it may be refused. Please know that this task is not an easy one. Best of luck.

Good morning Jawa. In fact, I don't know where to start...every time I come on this thread to read comments, I feel a sigh of relief. What I always say is, I've found a twin bro lol. my mind always does pray for you. I often ask while reading your posts that...so I'm not the only one who's always detailed with long explanations here, lol. It's good to know that, despite our very tight schedules, we still are able to help in a way with our experience and if that's the only thing we can do to humanity in a selfless manner, God will always appreciate it. Please keep up the good work. Know this fact Jawa, many will attack, despise, even deride you but please don't be deterred cos there's a reward for what you're doing. Those who benefit from your tips, hints and pieces of advice may not appreciate it but God surely will. Have a great day bro.

Yeah! A very good morning to you.... I'm yet to differentiate between you both though. Jawa seems to be a much more humane side (probably the reason he hasn't come under fire) of you but got lots of similarities with you. Either ways, whether you are one and the same or not, you are both good, I like and appreciate your views. What causes trouble here is the moment anyone comes across as an agent or even tries to sway participants here into private conversations, particularly the ones that has trappings of monetary extortion (that's up to participants though), that one will always meet stiff/vehement/intense resistance from key contributors here. You guys keep the good work you are doing and kudos will abound! Many regards

please enlight me sir/ma, is it possible to secure an unskilled job through a canadian agent without being interviewed by the employer likewise no experience, no certificate and no ielts score are requested by the agent. meanwhile the agent said i will pay $200 for certificate of acceptance in Quebec Canada immediately my employment contract letter is out. please are all these possible so that i won't be scamed. thanks.
