Simple. The VO did not think he satisfied the home ties requirement.

Taal17:


Ask him if he has applied for US visa before
Or did his wife or girlfriend apply
Or has he used an agent for do his application
Drill him well
It may have been years ago

Sounds like a case of chargeback due to the card used to make the visa fee payment.

Did you go through an agent? How was payment of the visa fee done?

If you used an agent or someone else to make payment and have clear documentation on this i.e. emails, chats asking for payment to be made and showing you paying the naira equivalent, I'll suggest maybe including in your webform/email back to them. Due to restrictions in forex amount one can spend by a lot of Nigerian banks in the last few years, a lot of people struggled with making this payment themselves and used agents or friends for this. Downside is one can't be certain if the cards used were not fraudulent or if the people themselves are honest (and not the ones requesting a charge back for this expense).

Goodluck.

I think there is foul play witj Canadaian application payment.
A lady just had same issue and she paid the application fee by herself. Never received any refund or cashback but there was a debt claim on her profile.

This is what I sent

Dear VO
My name is ……… , with date of birth…… and passport number ……. , currently residing at…….., Nigeria.

I am writing this appeal with a heavy heart as I find myself caught in an overwhelming state. I wish to appeal the recent rejection of my tourist visa application which I received on the 4th of May 2023 after waiting for over 11 months for a decision.

To begin, let me emphasize that my intentions of visiting Canada are solely for the purpose of visiting my brother who is currently in Canada for the purpose of studies. My stay will be short as I intend to immediately return to my Husband and 8 month old daughter whom will not be traveling with me. (I made sure to add this, to show them that I have strong family ties in Nigeria)

Regrettably, my wish to visit my brother whom I have not seen in over 18 months has been put on hold as my visa application was rejected. I submitted my application with the utmost sincerity, ensuring that every document and requirement was fulfilled to the best of my ability.

My Canada tourist visa refusal letter was received via the IRCC website stating [I am not satisfied that you have truthfully answered all questions in the documents you have submitted in support of your application, as required by subsection 16(1) of the IRPA. Specifically, I am not satisfied that the following information is truthful: Your declared history of previously refused visa application(s) to Canada or any other country]. I have to make an appeal against this justification as I do not have any history of visa rejection which is what I truthfully declared in my application.

I have applied for over 10 visas in the last 15- 20 years and I’ve been to over 20 countries. I have never overstayed in any country. The timeline of all my applications and travels are noted down below, including the reason for travel and duration of stay.

(I went on to list my most recent travels and I attached visas issued by other countries)

Good day Chanbaby, so sorry I have mot heard time to get to this forum in the past week. I noticed you have got approval for your baby's VOA Application. That's enough for you to board. Don't bother yourself on the online application for VOA, just make sure you have a printed copy of the approval and a visa card to pay when you land in Naija. There are so many ambiguities in that form that you can easily lose your money paid online. As for me I paid with my Bank of America card when I landed in Lagos so I think you should just do the same and stop botgering yourself with the online application. Note I love doing all my things online if it's more convenient and most of the time it is but ib this case, their instructions alone is enough to keep you off. Congratulations to you that they replied you within 48hrs, in my case I got a reply 2 days to my departure date after over10 days that I applied. Good luck. And congrats on tge arrival of your LO.

Chicserendipity:
Hello mamas. I just returned from my missionary journey in Texas. I'm not settled yet so I won't be able to give details. I want to thank all the contributors on this forum. I learnt a lot from this family and it was a life saver. This is just to drop a few tips. As we know, being truthful at the poe is key. My experience was a breeze as nothing was checked, but it's better to go prepared. Ensure you have received your confirmation email for approved visa on arrival, else, your baby won't be allowed to travel if you are using emirates. If you have the option of not staying with family, please take it especially if not close family. (This varies though) . I wish every one well; those on the journey and those about to join.

I am still trying to get a hang on it myself. I've sent an email with the following information

I've still not gotten any acknowledgement and this is the 2nd time I've sent this mail. I called and they said I still have plenty time but the lack of mail acknowledgement troubling. Does it take up to 24hrs to get an acknowledgement?

Grubsk:
Hello house;
