You should include whatever in your opinion feels like it’ll help prove your case.

Debbieeeeeee:
Strong financial and personal assets because there’s really not much you can do to travel history except you want to go to Dubai or South Africa or Kenya and return before applying for a visitors visa.

OloriOfMontreal:
I'm PR and we applied using the new portal on Nov 10th.

Refusal: December 3rd. (So at least this 14-30 days to process is working)

Reason for refusal: Travel history and asset/financial status in Nigeria

Considering that my husband has never had any reason to travel outside Nigeria until now I don't see how they expect us to address this other than merely stating the obvious which is no reason to travel until now. Or any other suggestions?

For the financial status: this was one reason we decided not to make me the sponsor cos we didn't want to raise any flag about my husband's financial status in Nigeria. And we wanted to show that he is financially comfortable in Nigeria. Especially since he is employed and we were able to show proof of fund and good inflow/outflow of cash. So we wrote in the letter of explanation that he will be sponsoring the trip while I will provide the basics (living expenses) needed for the 3 weeks duration of his stay.

We provided substantial (or so we thought) amount of information we thought would help but maybe we need to do more. However we can't start looking for what's not lost just to prove travel history or financial status so that it doesn't become counterproductive or raise more flags.

So our next step is actually to reapply (almost immediately) for the visit visa, stating how our conditions haven't necessarily changed. So same documents. And this time with more convincing additional information and LOE.

We feel we have nothing to lose here by reapplying again.

We are also planning to put in the sponsorship application by January. We tried to avoid putting both at same time but we will likely have to settle for that, rather than just putting in a spousal application alone.

We will order our GCMS note while we concurrently put in a new visit visa application.

This 14 - 30 days process is working and we gats reap the benefit of am!

Let's all keep the faith and hope alive!

We are open to further suggestions and guidance.

Thanks.

You didn't do anything wrong, it's the antispam bot that banned you but don't worry, the Mod already unbanned you earlier that's why you can now post.



Sorry to hear about your visa refusal.

The spousal sponsorship application takes approximately 12 months as I've read and heard.
It's possible to take lesser (6 months) but on average it's about a year and can run up to 2 years depending on the case.

I'll recommend you apply again for a visit visa while also putting in a spousal sponsorship application. (Nothing to lose)

But I honestly don't understand why their refusal is based on family ties in Canada considering that this is your husband you're looking to reunite with and they clearly have the spousal sponsorship stream to cater more for this, so why should they worry about a tie to the same spouse in Canada? Canada sef.

Please others can chime in.


On the same note, we also got a refusal letter for my spouse's (husband) application today.

I'll post the details in my next comment.

holyjacket:
Sorry about the refusal. I guess you will need to repackage and reapply.
What did you chose as your expected arrival time for the visitor visa?

deepwater:
Hi
What is your hubby status over there??

Gentlesoul3268:
Sorry to hear that, how did you got the refusal letter

Just FYI

For anyone who gets banned by the antispam bot for posting/quoting a LEGIT link or comment on this thread, send an email to the mods (justwise and DisGuy) to unban you, and they will. Otherwise if you wait till the ban expires the post will be lost.

Debbieeeeeee:
When I get my visa I’ll post my timeline here. For now I submitted on the 21st October, got biometrics letter 22nd , did biometrics 25th (it was updated immediately).

RxOtunba:
Nope. I'm not evn sure Canada issues 6 months visa. They give btwn 1 year and 10yrs. Mostly determined by the expiry date of your passport.

fairlytreated:
Yes. Is there a specific reason for asking?

fairlytreated:
Anyone travelled recently with a visitor visa? What are the requirements? Spouse got visitor visa approval till the expiration of his passport in 2025.
