All praise belong to God the Almighty
It's an approval
It's an approval (visitor visa to visit my children studying in Canada)
1st application Nov 8th 2021 on gckey
Nothing, so I reapplied in May 13th 2022(new portal).
Dec 16th Eligibility started on May 13th Application
Dec 28th,withdrawal of Nov 8th 2021 Application, I was scared
Jan 13th, approval of May 13th Application.
I come here for updates and consolation that I wasn't the only one in this backlog issue. I sent lots of webform, children called ircc , messages to MP with replies that Application under processing, lots of mails to all offices in Nairobi,China,London,US, etc, same response.

For sure,there's light at the end of the tunnel. Glory be to God

How much is police report now? I need a contact of an officer at Alagbon. Thank you

That is my son's school. Same thing happened to him last year. He was offered a related course for January intake. As his visa was approved, we quickly uploaded it to his portal and he resumed for the new course in January . You can send me a mail on guidefolad@gmail.com. I can put you through.
Dont panic and Stay blessed

Cannywaka:
My school jus withdrew me from my program today with this flimsy reasons of no seat etc. I thought by paying 16k cad, I have secured the seat for the session. Please what do Y'all suggest I do as the next intake is September 20223. Will I loose my tuition? I did not request for any withdrawal or deferral. Who has experienced this and how did you resolve it.

Kindly give us your timeline let's know if it is our turn.
I applied to visit since Nov 2021, expecting PPR from IRCC soonest.
I have sent mails, webforms, and expecting GCMS notes

Greatkhad:
Hello House,

My parents applied for visitor visa and just got a mail to submit their passport. The submitted their biometrics in Abuja, but considering the situation of things i would prefer the mail the passsport to the office and once its staped the mail it back to them. Please is this possible. Also can someone who has recently done this/ or knows the process guide me.

Thank you.

Who is going to Windsor, Ontario? Can we connect please? (guidefolad@gmail.com)

She mentioned something like POF should not be in form of fixed deposits or fixed assets. The VO prefers cash that is accessible to fund your studies and bulk deposits into such account should be explained with proofs.

Your application will be directed to NSE automatically after submitting all the requirements together and the processing time is 12weeks.

phrecy:
I have my ielts result and the 30k cad..how do i opt in for thr NSE route pls

If you are applying for NSE,it is still on. This is quoting the recent webinar organised by Canada embassy in Abuja.
It stated 30,000cad POF, upfront medical result to be submitted with the application,and Ielts result.
12weeks is the maximum processing time.
Note: if any of the above was not submitted with the application, it will be treated as normal application

SaniceSanice123:
Please, someone that’s doing fast track, does the person needs to do medicals as part of the application?

Thank you for your response.
I've tried severally to send you a mail.
Pls can you reach out to me?

Cashmadam:


Add a paragraph in your cover letter to fully explain why you run your business with mostly cash. They know Nigeria is a cash driven Country so a simple explaination will make sense.

Thank you for your response. I filled £1150 for each of us as expenses,I hope it is not too much,though my account can cater for that.
Also since I am into buying and selling in a shop,most payment is in cash which I will later deposit into my personal account, all these income and expenses not easy for me to calculate. Can you assist? I have sent a mail to your moniker

Cashmadam:


Indicate "YES". You will be asked if you are staying with the family indicated. You will then indicate "NO"

I hope this helps

The aspect that do you have relatives in UK, will I indicate yes or no? Since they are not sending any invite. Although,I might pay them a visit.

giselle237:
it’s same as making other uk visit applications. For the 19 and 21 year olds, they are students, however are classed as adults. Prove that they are dependent on their parents and their ties to their studies if any.. concentrate on showing they are coming back.
You should use a hotel. Sponsor the trip alone.

@ Giselle, cash madam, kindly advise

Foladimejiw:
Hello house
It's a good job you guys doing here. I want to apply to UK for visit visa with my grown up kids 19 and 21. Should my niece invite us or we apply without her invite? She thinks her house cannot accommodate us and her family so we should book an hotel. Is that a red flag?
I am self employed using my bank savings account for business too with good transactions.
My grown up kids have their savings account too as undergraduates . Can I sponsor the trip alone with just Hotel booking and ignore my niece?
What other documents do I need for visa approval?
Thank you as I await your advise

Hi @Foladimejiw,
Please can you give me a list of documents you submitted for your son's application

The College tuition is cheaper than Uni. His course is in College and the elder sister is a graduate student in the University. Both same city in Ontario.
I hope this helps

Divinedxtrovert:


Alright, thanks for the opportunity.
I am stuck with either choosing a university or a college. I want to study comp science and i noticed that it is offered more in unis than colleges. In your opinion, Is there an advantage to picking a college over a uni?
What uni did you pick for your son?

P.S- i want to reduce expenses so i found a uni that costs over a thousand less than most colleges for my course.

You can ask further questions concerning his application

Divinedxtrovert:


Thanks for the information.

I have a 17year old son in Canada,Admitted into college for advanced diploma as stated by anon123
You can let me know if you have further questions

Is this measure(asking for hotel receipt) for buying tickets or boarding flight from cotonue ? Kindly explain

Jay316:
Are u aware that this forum is followed by ppl both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria ?. even there are some V.O that follow this thread. The gurus Frankrobnn and Mekano had said it several times that we should be careful of what we post here. please if u wana give this kind if advice ,it better u do it in a platform that has encryption and that's y WhatsApp group was created for those affected by the ban cos not everything should be public Knowledge. ppl have been traveling but because we are not secretive, e don dey cast.Ethiopian airline has banned re-routing from Nigeria to Cotonou except u go to their office in Cotonou.they are not accepting just stamp anymore u must have a hotel receipts with barcode for verification. My contact in Cotonou said Ethiopian airlines started that one today.u cant board with just ur entry stamp. I asked him y.what if I am staying with my cousin. my cousin schools at les cousonus university in Cotonou there. He said that one na story now ooo.i finally asked y all these new measures. He bluntly told me that we Nigerians talk too much. We are exposing ourselves. A Cotonou man telling me this. my advise is book airfrance if u r going through Cotonou and form watsapp group for that.this is Visa thread .

Jay, please let's know the outcome of your change of booking. I have to do same for my son as soon as possible. Traveling date 18th Dec

Jay316:
I am going to their office tomorrow

Winnn:
The boredom is on another level. Am even in quarantine. Guys abeg take vaccine before coming o

I need more information about the Cotonou passport renewal. Can you give me a lead? Thank you

Hello makano,
Is SOP needed when applying for visit visa when the person inviting has already written invitation letter?
Your response is very important.

makano:
Hello feisty

First time applicant or returning Applicant, an SOP is very important when applying for a study permit Visa..

So as a returning applicant, you will need to submit both SOP(To state your purpose of Visit) and LOE(To address the concerns of the Visa Officer, and other necessary explanation you will need the Visa Officer to be aware of)...

Peace

My daughter invited me for visit, she's on study permit. Am I to write statement of purpose along with the documents to be submitted? She has written letter of invitation
