There’s nothing you can do for now other than wait to hear from them.

Ashirioluwa:
I don't have the letter anymore. This is not a recent issue; it happened in 2016.

I mentioned her past UK refusal in the application but forgot to mention the US refusal.

I wrote a letter to correct this error.

oluayebenz:
Converting VV to WP is possible but chances is extremely low.

Good luck to whoever going that route.
I'm out 🚶

Ruskov:
Hi,

No route is the best route , and every route is the best route. You better off making out with routes that suit your call, all visa categories have advantages and downsides. The major question starts with this , what do I want ? What is my skill and does it fit into the NOC (national occupational classification) of the province? Can this skill I have help me easily secure Permanent residence? Answering these settles ¾ of your problems. You can then have quality time to plan. The question you asked may make you be very vulnerable to "agents of darkness" who want to milk you of your sweat. You gotta be very careful around here. All that glitters are not gold as you deem fit.

Make up your mind. What are your plans on moving to a new country? Working in the UK, you should have had some income at some point , it's either you have patience and consider the FSW (Federal skilled workers) or you go with PNP (provincial nominee program) you in the end collect the permanent residence then make sure your skill fits in the NOC so you can easily get a job. The processing time is another thing you need to be aware of. It may take sometime. Also one thing to note, it also depends on territories and provinces of Canada , some provinces need a skillset , some do not. Now it's up to you to make your choices and do serious research. Challenge around PR is , they would want to attend to people in Canada first , before attending to people outside Canada. The rest , you know the end results.

Secondly you may take the route of the visit visas. Since you are in the UK , the processing time for this visa maybe faster. You can switch to work permit upon getting a good job with LMIA once you get to Canada, now this has to employ some form of skillset and if you fall into something like STEM (science , tech, engineering and medical) you can get a job quick and LMIA is sure. Probably after that your wife can apply for SOWP. Look up SOWP applications and requirements, I believe you can figure out a thing or two there. Else both of you can just apply for visit visa and switch later on, it's totally up to you!

Student visa on the other hand requires money. People deem this the surest means to travel , but you have to be financially capable and meet up with requirements of IRCC and the university requirements , before anything. Again, I don't see it as the surest means, because if I am 45 for instance, most universities may have problems with my age and what I'm coming to do in that school. It may even raise eye brows at some point in visa applications. Exchange rates shouldn't be a barrier here, since you have workarounds for that, you live in the UK. Unlike for those who live in third world countries.

On the other hand also, getting venture capital to finance your company is another good one after which, you migrate to Canada , provide jobs to over 20 Canadians and then secure work permit , before PR . The major goal is PR , but the process is really discouraging at some point when no VC finances your move into Canada. It's a journey and if you not open for this, you may get discouraged later on. Getting companies to finance you is not an easy task, their requirements may be taunting at some point... You have to write business plans and pitch decks and send to incubators and VCs , the reject email could be heartbreaking many a time.

It is your call like I said earlier. I'd choose the visit visa route , so once I get there I can choose to go in for one of the PR routes so processing times can be shorter since I'm inside canada , but that should vary when it comes to you as I do not know your skill and if it falls in the Canadian NOC and what skillset you have. So you have a lot of thinking and work to do, and planning. So putting everything in pen 🖋️ and paper 📜 , and talking with your wife in this regard is needed now.

Phew , it's a long one. I hope you learnt a thing or two here.

Europ2018:
Well it’s all my fault though, at the declaration stage I filled I was would be spending 60 days , while my application was just 10days I indicated I would be spending in Canada.

I also declare some food stuff and meat and fish. The officer pull my application started asking me questions from my application , like are you married where do you work , why did you not come with your wife , you apply since 2020 and you did not apply for your wife ?


He ask about the nature of my job , I told him I am an engineer , I explained everything about the job like say na jobs interview.


The funny thing is he ask me how much do I have here I told him 2000k usd cash, he said he want to see it , I could not find the money I left 1500 usd in my wife’s handbag at the airport. I was shock.

So I told him I will use credit card to pay for accommodation, how much do you have access to the card I said 5k usd, I login my bank app I have over 10m there.

Where will you be visiting he ask, I name three places, he for 2 months. Then I told him I will be visiting my brother and friends.

. Make I stop here I done tire to type joor

Europ2018:
I just arrived Canada, my application was even pull for secondary inspection, Toronto border security 😷

Tegnaworld23:
Self sponsored, it is my personal account which I have been running since 2012. I didn't submit loads of doc tho, now I'm thinking of including properties evaluations or what do you guys think?

Tegnaworld23:
My application just got refused just this morning, and my friend was approved, we submitted the same day. Funny part, I even have more funds in my account compared to my friend o lol, I even borrowed him money lol, this ircc people just dey make me laugh n enjoy cold beer this afternoon. Anyways, they stated they are not satisfied that I will leave canada after my study due to my financial assets blah blah. What do you guys suggest? Do I really needs to request for any Gcms note or should just repackage myself n apply again. Thank you guys in advance and good luck to us all.

I don't have the letter anymore. This is not a recent issue; it happened in 2016.

I mentioned her past UK refusal in the application but forgot to mention the US refusal.

I wrote a letter to correct this error.

Ashirioluwa:
It worked for me in the past. I filled out my wife's visa application, but I didn't declare her past visa refusal for the US.

Later, I wrote them a letter of apology and explained to them that I forgot to declare this refusal.

About a month later, they acknowledged receiving the webform and the uploaded document.

Her visa was approved.

Donmatlock:
Hello Sir,
Please, how did you successfully make payment? I have tried GTB Mastercard and Access Dollar Card but it denied the transaction severally. What is the best way to pay for the visa fee?

Thank you
