Emmafe:

Why would you make a strong statement like this as if you have met all the cbsa officers?
Some of them do ask to be sure that you have enough funds.

Well,for a very long time I have been traveling,non cbsa officers has demanded such from me,I don't know if you are talking from experience or someone told you.things like this only happens if you are not consistent in what they ask you

What page is this? and if you are using courier or collecting it in person you should state it

myorh:
Good day house, I want to submit my passport via courier service but I’m a little bit confused about the consent form.
When filling the form, what is supposed to be in those fields I underlined in red, I’m guessing that should be the details of the courier service right or it can be left blank. I don’t want a case where my file would be returned.

Ok, good for you. I know a lot of people they ask. So, my point is don't rule out the possibility they will ask. I also know someone they sent back (deported) because he couldn't explain how the money he claimed he had is not there and he couldn't logically defend it. Everyone should get prepared in case they ask.

Emmafe:
Going to border to get a permit. I want to change my visitor visa to spouse open work permit. Can still be done online but will take time.

hi emmafe bin a while been prepairing for my trip come next week by God’s grace will do this once I get to Canada,

You know lots people that this happened to: I said maybe they are not consistent,if my application takes 2years to be approved,you don't expect same amount to be there after 2years and nobody can Depot you because of that,all that matters is to answer questions ask you deligently

Viking07:
If you saw others picking up why would yours be different?😁 You can go pick up tomorrow. I’m also going to pick mine tomorrow at vfs Abuja.

Okay thank you. What documents are we going with?

To collect your passport, go with a photocopy of your passport data page.

Write your tracking number at the back of it.

I think it matters and if you don't want to cancel/withdraw this application, you need to send a notice of this mistake & attach your birth certificate showing the correct details.

Not sure if it will make a difference as the webform autoresponse states they won't look at documents not submitted with the application but I recall someone on here stating their submission via webform was taken into consideration so might be worth the risk. Up to you!

Additionally, get your login details from the agent (if you don't have it) and download the form that was submitted on your behalf. Go through it carefully to ensure there are no mistakes or wrong information in those to avoid further issues.

Help please


I don't trust this man ... he said my DOB is not matter that I can correct it during the biometric..house how true is this ??

I flew to Abuja this morning to pick up my passport from the VERY incompetent VFS because i have an urgent trip to the UK tonight.
Passport came back from the Visa offixe since 26th June and i paid upfront for courier back to me, filled and sent the SMS forms , countless calls and unreplied emails, yet my passport was buried in a heap of passports, all my emails unread and unreplied. They havent even opened or acknowledged the first email i sent that had reciept of 18,710 talk more of sorting my passport for dispatch to me.
I got my pasaport from them in about 2 hours as they were UNDERSTAFFed (only one person handling collections) and flew back to lagos.

Now return ticket money to abuja plus 18,710 all wasted .

Can someone help with this

isentropic:
Please I need to confirm this urgently.

Good evening. Please has anyone been able to collect passport from vfs in person?
I got this with a notification of passport being ready - 'Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice. Please refer to the 'Buy Services' page of the VAC website for further information on courier services offered by the VAC'.

Please help!

Yes you can pickup in person. Go with photocopy of your int’l passport n write your tracking number on it. Time is 12-2pm but I will advise you go early to get slot, the queue can wait time can be frustrating.

I don’t understand why they cut off courier from doing two way delivery, it was very smooth then. Greed caused all this, they’re just after money. Same ups they stopped from doing two way delivery, is the company that handle the delivery for them.

gr8femfred:
Thanks sir ,it was on all including the invite documents.. can I do affidavit or what is the way out sir ??

Yes I think affidavit is better. Attach letter of explanation and send to ircc. If the agent is not licensed don’t mention agent o. Just claim it was a mistake on your part.

Congratulations boss

I got mail today for approval of visiting visa. I applied March.

Hi all,

I intend applying for visitor visa for my mom and will like a family friend to accompany her- this will be group application.

My questions are:
. what are the chances of getting the visa for my family friend?

I have evidence to show our relationship (pictures etc) as the said person lived with my parents and I until he got married and now has a family of his (a wife and two children). You know how you have friends live with you all their lives with your parents taking responsibilities- unfortunately no legal adoption was done so I he’s not a family member. I believe putting his kids and wife already stands as a strong tie back home should the visa be approved.

. I intend to sponsor both the friend and mom by proving my SOA. Is this advisable?

. My spouse recently applied for his mom and brother- their visa is approved and we are expecting them this summer. Will this visitor application impact that of my mom and family friend?

Finally, please feel free to share other insights that will be helpful.

Thank you!

Emmafe:

Coming too Toronto tomorrow

• Yes you can sponsor both. I will also advice your friend to submit her SOA to show she’s doing well financially, else VO will think she go japa.

• No it won’t affect your application.

My advice is work on home tie esp for your frnd, documents that shows she’s doing well in naija (business, job, assets etc.), make sure pof is okay for both and good sop.

Always coming through

I have seen students interrogated for non payment of school fees and no proof of funds at the border countless times, whilst others might not even be interrogated at all.

Don't even compare students to PR holders.

Regards,

Skyview01:


PR holders havea specific requirements to meet the minimum neccessary income(MNI) during visa processing before visa is approved. CBSA officers are not visa officers and not their business to check for income at the airport from a PR visa holder.
They only ask to see if a PR holder is coming into Canada with more than 10,000$ undeclared and that is the primary motive for the border agent at the airport.
For visit visa holder, it is very important for the CBSA agents to check if the visitor has enough money for their short stay as this will indicate if the visitor will be stranded and resort to work in Canada.

This will be a major breach in the visitors visa conditions and you may be sent back from the airport.

A PR holder or student visa holder can never be sent back from the Canadian airport because of lack of funds in the account as they are allowed to work in Canada.

I am a specialist in Canada Immigration.

Yes, you are right (For this period, Lufthansa is cheaper).

Mostly connects Air Canada from FRANKFURT to TORONTO.

ABSTRUSE:


In my opinion, Lufthansa.

It's 75% not a mistake this has happened on this thread and on the student thread several times.

Greetings all,
