lol, its startup visa dude.

Not as expensive as you think

NothingDoMe:
First the fees for start up is $1,540. Then you will need to convince one or more designated investor(s) to invest a minimum of $75,000 to $200,000 in your business idea. You must have a registered business.

Next you will need to take a language test from an approved agency and meet the minimum language requirements.

Also, you need to have enough money to relocate to Canada. It is currently $12,669 for one person and an extra $3,414 for each family member.

You are basically going to go through processes involved in immigration.

This discussion actually belongs in the immigrant thread but as you can see it is not exactly a walk in the park.

Good day all. I've been reading from the beginning of this thread and I've gotten a lot of useful information so far. I have a question please: My family would be applying for a tourist visa, thinking of using the Abuja vfs office. Please whom do I address the letter of explanation to? I got the address of the canàdian high commission in Abuja, but I've also read mention of CIC here. A response will be much appreciated please.

vitrendy4eva:
Can someone please respond to this?

oriazowan:
Canada high commission of Abuja is ok to use

Hello guys.

I was recently refused a study visa due to purpose of visit and home ties. Now I want to apply for a visit visa. I have a German citizen who is ready to send me invitation. I am not related to her. We met online and became tight friends and she wants me to visit her. In-fact she was the one that got me the admission which the study was refused. Any chances for me and how do I go about it?

Hello people, please i need information. You can even point me to the page on this thread.

I have received the passport request for my folks. How do they go about taking it to VFS? Do they need to pay money? Do they put in self addressed return envelopes? I'm a little confused on the next steps. It's Lagos VFS. Thanks

SimpleDimples:



When did you receive the request? Today
When did you apply? May 16.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt it. I received my response yesterday and they denied us (myself and my mum) even though our application took 6weeks(online). The event we were to go for is this Saturday and was suppose to fly out yesterday. The only reason given for ours was them not sure we would leave Canada(Myself and My Mum). We submitted everything you could think of; properties documents,good Bank account, the invitee data page, utility bill all my education background in the UK, multiple visas on both passport. Bare in mind that, i am a professional with good pay too so why would i toss everything away to be illegal in Canada?? A country that with strong immigration policy? when i can easily slide to the US and plough it out eh?? smh

We are well traveled and my mum has been travelling since the 70s. i wonder why a Grandma who is in her mid sixties would want to leave her husband behind and all her properties to stay in Canada illegally. They purposely delayed the application so so would have a good ground for refusal. It seems to me they frown upon you attending events such as Wedding and Birthdays, PR is the only way now guys, longer process but sure to get it

I intend reapplying just to put them in their place, i honestly don't to give a monkeys about them...aside the short summer what is fantastic about their long cold winter

Thanks. Can I ask you some questions from their page?

1. Do we need to submit self-return envelopes?
2. Will there be extra fees? The page is not really clear. I don't know if it's safe to assume that after the Biometrics fee there's no other fee involved?
3. Can someone hand in your passport for you? Let's say there are 2 in the application, can 1 person hand in passports for the 2?

Thanks.

I understand perfectly well you guys view. I was only reiterating their "Modus Operandi" Approval is by no means of good job/ salary ooo or travel history. I have known from time in memorial that Visa Approval is by luck and not based on facts..it merely on assumption. We currently have valid multiple visas.We included entry stamps and all but eh i guess that wasn't good enough. But i have applied for GMCS notes to know what exactly the issue is for future purpose. Not bothered the slightest.

All the best to those awaiting response! I pray your application doesn't get to London Office ooo. They take their bloody time and don't like when you follow up(typical British Attitude). They are ruthless and mean(lol).
