Congratulations Debbie, and thanks for sharing with us, your application was very brief in docs and straight to the point, however it took long to be processed almost 4months but in the end, you are good to go.

Got just 1 question , did the recruitment event send you an invitation letter ?

Counterfoil document number now available on the portal.

The visa expires one day before expiration of our passports.

Mine is valid till 2029!!! Whoop whoop! TEN YEARS baby, lol.

Hubby is till 2023!

Thanks everyone for all that you do here...

After 87 days, denial landed. Paper application - Nairobi. Conference for which i applied was 2 weeks ago. Thanks all.


I am refusing your application on the following grounds:


I am not satisfied that you have a legitimate business purpose in Canada.

I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions asked of you.

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the length of your proposed stay in Canada.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Girllikeme: 3:03pm On Nov 28, 2019
Actually not sure if you not having a travel history was the only problem here, the VO have highlighted that you were not truthful and that should be your utmost concern. So in your next application focus on filling out your forms correctly, Cos this could attract a ban!
