Hi everyone

For those who did Medicals how many days on an average does it take to get medical passed ?

Is there anyone who did Medicals on Nov10 or later and has his/her result passed ?

Anyone travelled recently with a visitor visa? What are the requirements? Spouse got visitor visa approval till the expiration of his passport in 2025.
Sorry is this the first time traveling to Canada ?

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Concate(f): 12:43am On Nov 20, 2021
Oh I see.
The BA flight has only 1 stop at London LHA and another BA flight from LHA to vancouver.

Do you think they might use a connection in the USA?

Please I need to know before booking.

Thanks.

Debbieeeeeee:

If you use BA You’ll most likely have a connection in the usa that’ll require a usa transit visa or visitors visa.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by sam4774: 1:02am On Nov 20, 2021
BA is only taking study permits or actual citizens, visit visa and work permits are not allowed right now

Concate:
@sam4774

I'm curious to know why you said he should not use British Airways because I'm about to book a BA flight as it has the shortest travel time.

Kindly elaborate.
Thanks.

Hi, so if it’s just a stop at LHR then you’re good. If it’s 2 stops (lhr & somewhere in the usa) then I’m afraid it won’t work. But since you’ve said it’s just one stop then it’ll work.

The ban is no longer in place and it was between London, Schengen states & the usa. But it’s now sorted. Canada opened too after sept 7

Good evening, please I’m just curious as to why visitors visas require Medicals because on that interface it says you do not require. Or did you apply for another sub-category that isn’t tourist? Thank you
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Concate(f): 7:48am On Nov 20, 2021
Thanks so much @Debbiee. It's just 1 stop at lhr.

Yes. Is there a specific reason for asking?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by emelueobi(f): 10:39am On Nov 20, 2021
Visitor visa does not require Medicals but super visa ( visit greater than 6 months) requires Medicals.

Hi everyone,

We applied for my spouse's visit visa on November 10th using the new portal. We'd like to know if we require the authorization letter/form as the new portal didn't request that.

If yes, please how do we submit a AL request?

Thanks

If your spouse is a foreign national and travelling from a country other than US then your spouse needs a written authorization. Go through the link below, it will tell you if your spouse needs written authorization or not and how to go about it.

Thank you so much ma'am for the prompt response.

We actually went through that link before applying and someone on this forum said written authorization was no longer required after September 7th. Also the following screenshots is where the confusion/contradiction actually is.

It appears that if the applicant is reuniting with a Canadian PR or Citizen they may not need a written authorization, however if they want to reunite with a temporary resident they need a written authorization (other countries outside of US), that's what I can deduce from the link and screenshot. But I may be wrong.

Regardless, I'll say maybe no harm in submitting a request so we will just go ahead and do so.

Thank you! smiley

Under proof of funds,  you need to put all your bank statement (9 pages) and other supporting documents showing proof of funds into one document. You can put them all in word document, convert to PDF and use an online pdf compressor to reduce the size to 2MB.
Like you rightly pointed, uploading each page one after the other only overwrites the previous page.

In summary, you can only upload one file per document name.

Hope this helps!
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Debbieeeeeee: 5:42pm On Nov 20, 2021
Dear gentle soul, merge the bank statements together as one file. While scanning choose the batch option if you’re using a Hp printer(Hp smart app).
Or rather download your statement from the bank app, it’ll be one file.
If you want to use multiple bank statements, use ilovepdf to merge the different files

When I checked the link now—> https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/immediate-family.html

I think written authorisation is required to travel to CANADA and it seems only exempted travellers that have written authorisation are allowed to travel to CANADA now even if you are fully vaccinated (I may be wrong)

I am confused on this part as written authorisation wasn’t requested when I was submitting my application.

I will like to ask if there is anyone who have travelled to CANADA recently on the basis of TOURISM and NOT REUNIFICATION WITH FAMILY MEMBER without Written Authorisation

Thanks for your detailed response.

I heard Abuja is faster than Lagos? Any truth to that? Because she did her biometrics in Lagos.

So I hear, my parents got their passports back from Abuja office after 4 business days. You can use Lagos if there's no hurry
