Good job you are all doing here.Please I want to apply for a tourist visa with my wife ,she works with Nestle Nig Plc as a field sales manager while am into business .what do you think our chances are?

yungreezy:


Thank you for this response.

I actually know about the option of us getting married and me sponsoring her from Canada. But my concern with that is the time it takes for it to get approved. I've heard it could take up to a year. If I land in Canada, while she's still here, and we get married in Nigeria. It would be so difficult to leave your wife and go back to Canada. That's why I'm looking for an alternative.

I have gotten PPR and have sent in my passport.

What option did you take after the visit applications got denied?

I think if you have a valid US visa ,all you need do is just drop box.i got this information from a friend who just got his family US visa


http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5873E.pdf

[b]CAN+ If you have travelled to Canada in the last ten (10)
years or currently hold a valid United States non-immigrant

visa and can provide proof (entry stamps in passport, proof of the
valid visa), no proof of financial support is needed.
[/b]


For all others, provide proof of financial support to cover the
expenses for the duration of your visit:
Copies of bank statements or bank book covering the past three months.
Any additional relevant documentation (employment letter, pay slips, proof of pension,
business registration, investments, etc.)

Oluwaskinny:
Please house its my first time posting on here but im a silent reader. i have been trying to track my application,but it keeps telling me No details found matching the input values .... i submitted my application since oct 3rd of october 2017.

Jawa:


dear Peterpan231, if Canada is your choice and its a business venture, why not try again. you cant just look elsewhere and one year is enough time for an individual's circumstances to change significantly. but to be honest, as a business man from Nigeria, Canada is usaually not a choice destination and the VOs know that so the onus is on you.

firstly, unlike the UK ECOs, Canadian VOs are really not very interested in your money. finances are looked at when all major factors are met. my guess. so this application has to be intellectual and make sense.

secondly, if this is a business trip, why are you traveling with the entire family? a VO may wonder. did you explain why? also, you applied with your children during october (when schools are in session), if they have been enrolled, did you explain the plans you have made to take them out of school in your travel period? have you traveled for any business trip and showed evidence of that? you mentioned you were to meet suppliers, was there any evidence of maybe prior communication with them? my point is simple, it is your responsibility to overwhelm a VO with relevant documentation to support your case.

my advice, should you consider it, is to first apply for your GCMS notes to understand your refusal in full before you commit some more money and do bear in mind that when a whole family is making an application, by default, the VO assumes you plan to illegally migrate. so the onus is then on you to convince the VO, beyond any reasonable doubt, that visit is temporary and you shall return to Nigeria. best of luck

Lamide123:

Contact suppliers of the used phones and cars, ask them to send you IV.
Also you can apply without IV as a tourist. You are going on holiday. You
will need to book hotel

thanks, yesterday I got meeting confirmation letter, from one of my prospective suppliers I will also put in a good intenary, showing details of places I will be visiting, dates hotel and flight booking, but if they mess my plans up again it will be very painfull, hate the feeling of rejection and helplessness,

justwise:


You need to add..

1. Salary account and payslips (at least 6 months of both ) If money is paid into your salary account apart from your salary you need to explain the source.

2. Marriage certificate

3. Proof of accommodation from your friend

4. Breakdown of cost of the trip.

5. List of places you will be visiting while in Canada.


Your salary is good so you shouldn't have problem financially as long as you did not over budget.

hi Yinka, i am not sure i understand this response but IRCC does not have a dropbox option. this is only done by the US and if you visa expired within the last 12 months. a US visa will NOT grant you entry into Canada, only US alien card holders with an ETA or US passport holders.

for the Canadian applicant, you have to fill forms for everyone but in one application. however, your US citizen dependent does not need a visa to enter canada for 180 days but has to be in your application.

Hi yungreezy, good evening. yes sponsorship takes time. however, if i understand your post correctly, you just got your PR approved and had sent in your passport. if this is the case, do not make the mistake of applying for a visitor visa for your spouse. you can actually get married, inform IRCC and they will make provision for your spouse. you will have to return your passport with the stamped visa of course and they will add your spouse to your application. if your CRS is still not below the one that got you an ITA, in less than 2 months, you both shall have your immigrant visas. until you land at a canadian POE with an immigrant visa, certain modifications can be made.

please dont misunderstand what i called a 'mistake'. you can do whatever you like but, as i always say, judge your application yourself before submission. now if a new PR has a visiting spouse, it is very hard to convince a VO that this visit is temporary which is the ground on which visit visas are assessed. also, the funds you showed in your application was for an individual so a VO may worry that you may then experience some settlement difficulties. assess your chances and make a decision. i have a feeling its going to be a good year. best of luck

You returned to Nigeria because you are lucky to have something doing there, not like am encouraging people not to go back to Nigeria after their visit but there are so many ways to regularize visitors visa in Canada legally.

Hello Everyone,

Please I need a bit of help,

I applied for a Canadian TRV online on the 06th of Jan and provided enough supporting docs to the best of my ability,

I made a hotel and flight booking and scanned along with bank statement and work documents,

However I got a refusal on the 16th under subsection 11 (1) on grounds that I would not leave canada after my visit, travel history, purpose of visit, personal assets and financial status. The letter states I am welcome to reapply if i can respond to the concerns.

I am unsure how they came about this decision but i respect it, Justwise and co please advise as i plan to reapply with same set of documents maybe paper route this time, I hold valid UK US and Schengen visa and have been to a few countries and never abused any visa.


Please note I am single but just love to travel i love Nigeria and have no plans to relocate and I have a good job i love with a fair closing account balance, Your responses will be appreciated,

Thank you.

Omodadi2:

THANKS.

I Submitted letter of introduction from work employment and promotion letter. Payslips. My visas. Some travel tickets. Tax evidence. Bank Statement. Visa stamps. Cover letter. Job description.staff ID card. Hotel and flight booking. Admission letter for the MBA Course im about to start.
Did I miss anything?

Sorry for your refusal, however that decision is really a fast one.

You have not stated the documents you sibmitted so may not be able to talk much. But with grounds you mentioned, you may need to convince the VO more when re-applying.

pls do they stamp passport for refusal?

maternal:


Yes canada has a shortage of tradesmen like a Welder. You should apply as a skilled worker. If you get accepted go back to school and get your red seal. Red seal means you're qualified to work in canada, USA, or some places in Europe. Nobody acknowledges or respects nigerian qualifications here which makes sense.
