I am applying for work permit and I want to fill the form IMM5645. It’s my intention to relocate my family though but should I select NO for now on where it asks “WILL HE/SHE ACCOMPANY YOU TO CANADA” then after approval I can apply for them or I should just select YES?

XYZJAZZY:
Good evening house, please I want to book ticket for Vacation to Pearson international airport,Tóronto.......but I'm worried about what these airlines do to Nigerians and those with visitors visa on transit.

I need a guide on best airline choice that doesn't require transit visa. I tried book united airline it says I need transit to stop at FFK.

I would really appreciate your candid advice ASAP.

nodetest:
Done that. Same thing. No UCI, No Biometrics letter.

Anyone else experience this?

Hello. Don't entertain any form of worry. Why were you refused? Work on that.

Again, to those uploading all their towns master plans, lol. All you need do is , just follow the simple procedure. Their requirements are precise on their website. If they need more information, they'd contact you. You don't have to pay for any hotel in advance my broda. Hotel and flight booking aren't realistic nowadays too. I booked a hotel for Hungary last September and they were asking me to pay in 24 hours. I cancelled it. I now booked another one and kept it. On arrival early October, the rate wasn't the same anymore and i wasn't informed beforehand.

I booked a flight for a North American trip last week on travelwings, they called me the following day to pay. travelstart does that too. If you don't pay within 24-48hrs, it will be cancelled so, flight or hotel booking in advance is old-fashioned. Visa Processing time is pretty long now and IRCC knows that. Unlike when we used to get a decision within 2 weeks back then. If you go to booking.com, book and keep your details, by the time you're ready to fly after approving your visa, rates won't be the same again because you may have held it for too long due to the ridiculously
long processing time for Nigerian applicants.

Next time, do the following:

Just state you're spending 10 or 12 days and put like 4000CAD (I've always stated this figure right from my first visa approval) and upload an itinerary( places you'd like to visit as a tourist), book some fun parks and upload the bookings, watch before you book, so you don't book expensive ones and overshoot your 4000cad budget. As a tourist, an invite isn't necessary. Under that column on the IRCC website where you're asked to upload your invitation letter just upload the bookings made on those fun parks. Most of them don't ask for payment when booking.

The below is an example of your itinerary...

16th January, arrival in BC
17th visit to XYZ Park and take a short ride
18th visit to XYZ and repeat the visit on 19th and 20th.
21st, travel to XYZ Town and have a feel of the Niagra falls. It takes an xyz hours to get there so I'd rest on arrival. I hope to spend 3 days there(22nd 23rd and 24th), etc.
On Sunday, I'd go to church located at XYZ for service and if you're a Muslim, on Friday, state the nearest mosque where you'd like to visit and pray...though not compulsory,

Just precise itinerary and locations wouid suffice.

Your bank balance was good. Maybe because I've been traveling before, I don't bother myself with the above stories, I only did in my first time of applying. It may be necessary for first time applicants. Even during my first time applying, I didn't have a house or property document so, I didn't submit one. My visa was approved. The IRCC only wants to know that you'd come back to Nigeria after your visit and you've shown proofs that you had a company from what I read on what you stated that you submitted. If you're a member of any professional body or association, you may upload certificates under documents on the portal not your academic certificates except you're applying to study. Also, highlight your leave period in your introduction letter and upload . Your company can sponsor your vacation. It's allowed and don't forget to state that also

There are people who have houses and have sold them. They uploaded proofs, got to Canada but never came back. The VOs are psychologists too, mind you. That 12k is much. Having 100m in your account isn't a criterion for a visa approval. They'd look at your inflows and outflows for the period requested, not just a lump sum deposit. Please take note of this next time. Even if you don't have travel history, it doesn't matter, just be precise, honest and plan well ahead, though travel history helps boost your application, especially to the US. They hardly reckon with visits to UK from experience. My cousin had been to UK 2 times and his visa was still refused until he got USA visa and reapplied with a fresh visa and same documents he uploaded in the previous application. He got 5 years on a 5-year validity passport. I still don't know why usa visa ( valid or expired) is a plus till now. Maybe because they're neighbours.

Try next time, Tell them the 4000cad doesn't include your flight ticket but only for your stay. They'd do the maths with the credit balance and your account performance ( esp the in flows)with the bank statement you uploaded on a rough estimate of your flight ticket . I hope you got my points.

Pls Pardon my long story. I felt you needed help and this would help. Still read widely on this thread. The information garnered would also help you.

Good luck next time.


Canada are more concern with your Us visa and Australia, not Uk,if you have been to US or Australia Before ,you have a greater chances, an immigration lawyer told me this

Opeyemi007:
Please, who has an idea how long it takes for a decision to be made on a visit application after eligibility is completed? I had my biometrics last week Tuesday(2) and it show eligibility completed on the tracker yesterday. I qualify for the Can+ category cos of my Us visa. Just wondering if anyone has an idea. Thanks

olakunle10:
My UK application was refused in May 2022 i think about 7 weeks after I had applied for Canadian Visa in March 2022. I didn't contact ircc about the refusal and I got my visa application approved in May 2023.

GraceandFavor:
Greetings and a happy new year to you all.

I need some advise.

I submitted for the visit visa on Aug 11th 2023 and did my biometrics on Aug 17th in Abuja. I missed a letter asking me for my passport which was sent to me on Nov 8th 2023- to be honest, I don't know how I missed seeing it in my email. I read the letter on Dec 12th 2023 but I was outside Nigeria. That day I sent a CIC form to the Lagos office requesting that I send my passport to a nearby Canadian consulate as I am not in Nigeria at the moment. Today I received a message with a 'refusal letter generic' stating that my application was refused because I did not submit my passport.

Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada. I have reviewed your temporary resident visa
(visitor visa) application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the
requirements for a visitor visa (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/
services/visit-canada/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada
temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your
application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
(IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/
index.html). I am refusing your application.
• You have not complied with our request for information, per subsection 16(1) of the
IRPA. To date, you have failed to comply with our request for submission of the following
documents: Passport


Please what can I do?

Thank you in advance for your replies and advice.

No matter how long darkness last, light will come to shine

No matter how Nigerian pastors continue to deceive gullible Nigerians, the truth will come out some day and evil men like Chris Oyakliome, Enoch Adeboye, Bishop oyedepo and many others will be put to shame

Chesterp:
Thank you very much. Thinking be wan finish me lol

Elvisu:
Sending a webform to indicate a visa refusal which was not stated during application submission before of oversight can it be of help? I had an issue like that though I have sent a webform stating the visa refusal.

Ashirioluwa:
You’re right, I don’t know the IRCC, but I know the visa officers are not out there to witch-hunt anyone.

I know they will refuse a visa if the applicant lies about past visa refusals, but this OP never did because this incident happened after he had submitted his application.

The dates will show that he didn’t lie about his past US visa refusal.

Ashirioluwa:
It can't be used against you since the US visa refusal happened after your application had been submitted.

zubizareta:
You are the one assuming that they contact banks to confirm if the money is still there? How can banks even be divulging information of their customers to 3rd party. We all might not know exactly how the verification is done but when you apply logic, it will be easy to eliminate some options. Especially when many ppl have successfully gotten PPRs after pulling out their funds immediately after submission

Spares:
