After uploading international passport, signature and photograph while filing the online form...
Please, is it a must to upload all the required documents.

Thanks

Take everything to the embassy for submission after uploading the items mentioned on the website.

ajajd:
Good afternoon Dear, actually it's not a paid flight, just a booked flight reservation. So it's their need to cancel and if yes would it affect the chances of getting my application approved?

If it's not paid, it's automatically cancelled after the number of days you are allowed to hold on the reservation after you booked. It doesn't affect your application.

ajajd:
@ Hotstepper Thanks Dearly for your response regarding the hotel reservation. Sorry I didn't include the reserved Flight ticket, I should also cancel that too right?? Thanks

You are not meant to use a paid flight reservation. Check the terms of your ticket for cancellation. Your visa can't be gotten in 6 days if approved.

I understand perfectly well you guys view. I was only reiterating their "Modus Operandi" Approval is by no means of good job/ salary ooo or travel history. I have known from time in memorial that Visa Approval is by luck and not based on facts..it merely on assumption. We currently have valid multiple visas.We included entry stamps and all but eh i guess that wasn't good enough. But i have applied for GMCS notes to know what exactly the issue is for future purpose. Not bothered the slightest.

All the best to those awaiting response! I pray your application doesn't get to London Office ooo. They take their bloody time and don't like when you follow up(typical British Attitude). They are ruthless and mean(lol).

Even Abu Dhabi is worst. They hardly check anything from the different cases I have seen, from Nigerian applicants.

XX01:
Hello people, please i need information. You can even point me to the page on this thread.

I have received the passport request for my folks. How do they go about taking it to VFS? Do they need to pay money? Do they put in self addressed return envelopes? I'm a little confused on the next steps. It's Lagos VFS. Thanks

No confusion there; they should submit their passports for their visa at vfs office. No money is paid.

Teju2014:
Sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt it. I received my response yesterday and they denied us (myself and my mum) even though our application took 6weeks(online). The event we were to go for is this Saturday and was suppose to fly out yesterday. The only reason given for ours was them not sure we would leave Canada(Myself and My Mum). We submitted everything you could think of; properties documents,good Bank account, the invitee data page, utility bill all my education background in the UK, multiple visas on both passport. Bare in mind that, i am a professional with good pay too so why would i toss everything away to be illegal in Canada?? A country that with strong immigration policy? when i can easily slide to the US and plough it out eh?? smh

We are well traveled and my mum has been travelling since the 70s. i wonder why a Grandma who is in her mid sixties would want to leave her husband behind and all her properties to stay in Canada illegally. They purposely delayed the application so so would have a good ground for refusal. It seems to me they frown upon you attending events such as Wedding and Birthdays, PR is the only way now guys, longer process but sure to get it

I intend reapplying just to put them in their place, i honestly don't to give a monkeys about them...aside the short summer what is fantastic about their long cold winter

Unfortunately, this is the situation for many people even with everything you could think of. They gave people who have travelled extensively travel history as reason for denial. A GCMC note might help your case before reapplying.

Jayne07:
hello house, my entire family has just been denied a visit visa based on travel history and purpose of visit. the hotel reservation we did expired June 5th and we were denied June 19th. is it possible we book a new hotel reservation and reply them with it as a mail (not reapply). is this possible? and does anyone know how this can be done?

I have said it repeatedly: family visit visas will take the grace to be granted. I am not saying it's impossible. If you reapply again with hotel booking, nothing will change. they will give new generic reasons not mentioned before.

helinues:
Misleading headlines.. Why warning only Nigerians? How many of them travel to Eithopia or enroute?

Are you serious on this?

Bjkhaleed:
Good Morning Nairalanders & Happy New Month.
Please I've a vital question to ask about Aunt Intl. passport. Her Head is covered with hijab on the picture in the Intl. Passport (because of her working visa to Oman she did that then about 2yrs back). Thus, she's embarking on another journey to Canada.
So her curiosity now is, will the embassy accept the Intl. Passport to stamp visa on it due to the hijab or not (so we can get another new passport for her again in alteration of the recent).

Thanks

1. How do you intend to get a new passport with 3 years validity on the current one? Nothing is wrong with having hijab. There are muslims in Canada using hijab, niqab. So it's not an issue.

2. Your aunt is a muslim, hence why she needed hijab on her passport. Oman doesn't mandate any woman to use hijab for visa. There are thousands of expats working there that do not cover their head.

NanaOne1:
Happy Sunday Justwise and family here,

I am the sole sponsor of my wife and kid.

On my wife and kids application, what should I input in the question "How much money are you planning to spend on your visit to the UK?"

I have budgeted 1800 pounds because my kid is just 5 months old and does not require a ticket.

Thanks

Does your baby have international ticket to travel for free?

ladylco:
Pls did these kids do biometrics?

Why are you worried? You last born is exempted from Biometric.

Techhybabe:
Hello, kindly help with the type of visa that will be on my introduction letter from HR to Canada embassy (Birth tourism or Medical visa)?

You only need employment letter from your HR. It's not necessary stating visa in your employment letter. However, if you want to, state what specific you are going for.

ladylco:
Please I just want to confirm if applicant ages 12 years old are not meant to do biometrics?

I submitted application for my family online on 26/6/19 by 27/6/19 biometrics request letters were sent for every member of the family except the 12years old applicatant.

Does it mean that Children don't do biometrics? If so what age is exempted? Why am asking is because the rest of the children that got biometrics letter request were ages 17 and 15 respectively except the applicant that is 12years old.

Exempted till 14. Pray very well o for family visa with Canada.


Good luck!!

Good afternoon,

I urgently require your assistance on behalf of my Fiance's TRV Application (Paper based).

Many thanks in Advance.

My Fiance got his final decision email today and and was denied basis the below

Family ties n Canada and in your country of residence.
Purpose of Visit

A Brief summary
My Fiance works and lives in Lagos Nigeria. He has about several property development investments in Nigeria spanning over 12 - 25years (We attached this during application).

His Sister and her kids are based in Canada and has a PR while his Mother has been in canada for almost 3years awaiting her PR (She filed for PR and have been given a work permit pending when the PR is confirmed).

He added their details to his Family Info while filling the forms so we are a bit puzzled as to why they refuse basis Family ties in home country and canada (When we have proven that he has both- Though we never mentioned he would visit his family in canada ). Also His Elderly Father is based in Nigeria .

Ps : We also attached a detailed cover letter and itinerary showing breakdown of his stay- Tourism purposes (Yet he was denied basis purpose of visit).

We are engaged to be married November 2018 . Please advise me of the next step as he wants to re-apply again as soon as possible.

Your usual assistance is highly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Those are generic messages given to everyone. To really know what happened, you might want to request GCMC notes. That will give you a summary why the VO denied you. Imagine telling someone who has been to the UK, US, UAE and European countries he has no travel history.

Nwaeze6:
thank you.... 1)please can I have a sample or guidelines of the letter of explanation/ travel plan for a tourist applicants and (2)please can I apply here online for her while she is in Malaysia rather than her coming back here to naija since it's online.

You don't need any guideline or sample; it's clearly stated on the portal. Anything you feel you need to add to your application that's not already there or not clearly explained is what you include in your writing; you can list places you wish to go since there is no place for that.

2. You will be asked where you are submitting the application in your questionnaire. So you should choose where she will submit her application and do her biometric.

freddywells81:
No, I haven't sir. I heard about a land in MAYA, from a friend of mine which had been assigned for agricultural purpose and I observe people had built houses and most still in progress,hence the reason for my question. Thanks for the heads up though

Good you made your research. In the Agbowa, people have started building too and people are living there but the axis is actually Agric land. You know anything with Govt, it can be tomorrow or in few years.

freddywells81:
Thanks for the response...

hope you haven't bought Gosgra land in Agbowa? That land is a committed land for Agric purpose and can only be ratified for same.

theboy:
Hello,

I'm new at this, does anyone know any doctor in Hamilton, Ontario?

I have gotten all documents for my wife and I and I just need a doctor to speak with and get a letter from in Hamilton, Ontario.

Thank you

If you really want to go there, you need to do some basic research. Go to google, and search hospitals and doctors in your area of choice and start calling and sending mails.

Nwaeze6:
please house for a family going for tourism in Canada do they need to buy the tour tickets before applying for visa like going on tour to Niagara falls if yes how do I go about it please

Don't book any confirmed ticket until you see the visa. Getting visa now for family is getting difficult but not impossible. Throw in everything that shows you are coming back.

Heitch:
I am in Lagos, intend applying from here. Is there a medical visa option?

According to Justwise info above, yes.

damikares:
Hello everyone, I applied for TRV n decided to share
filled my forms and submitted via paper route(husband ,wife &2 kids ) on 27th may 2019
Biometrics same day
Biometrics confirmation mail on 12th June
Mail that application has been forwarded to Canada embassy on 13th June
Final decision letter 19th June ..
Reason for refusal- family ties
.I am refusing your application on the following grounds:

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence.

I traveled last year to Ireland with hubby and our first son, Our previous passport got expired so we did a new one for hubby and myself and we didn't submit the old passport but a copy of the visa page and all other pages that wasn't empty was made and submitted.
Please I need an advise on how to proceed, maybe I should get someone to invite me or I should send with just hotel reservation again and how soon is advisable to apply again. I will appreciate a prompt response. Thanks guys

Documents submitted
Reference and leave letter from work for hubby and myself
Appointment letter for both of us
Hubby last promotion letter
Professional practising licence and certificate included.
6 months payslip for both
6 months statement of account for both
Pension statement for both
Hubby timed deposit certificate
Reference letter from Bank
2 landed properties, 1 for each of us
Original flight ticket for previous trip to Ireland
Flight reservation
Hotel reservation (booking. Com)
5 pages cover letter highlighting different areas.
Family info form. Both parents for both of us still alive and my mother in-law shares same address.



Thank You

Better request for your GCMC note to know the exact reasons. They are likely to deny again if you don't address the reasons. Going with family member now is likely running away from Nigeria; it might be difficult to get the visa with no immediate family ties

Heitch:
Hello people:

Please I need help.

I want to give birth in Brazil, applying for tourist visa on Monday. I intend submitting
1. Letter of introduction from employer
2. 4 months payslip
3. 6 Months statement of account
4. Colored passport photograph
5. Passport
4. Hotel reservation

I am currently 33weeks gone, statement of account 2.5m. Please what other documents should I attach, if to add sponsorship? Also what are my chances. To bother or not?
Please gurus your input will be most appreciated.

You might want to apply for a medical visa. You might be asked to do a pregnancy test, I don't know where you are applying from though.

[quote author=ajajd post=79489903][/quote]You already have a booked/confirmed reservation before visa

OneNaija:
To obtain Brazil visa is very difficult now, I mean extremely difficult even in Europe as a Nigerian. They refer Nigerian application to their ministry of Internal affair and they will just refuse you without reason why you are being refuse. Nigeria passport is dead when it come to Brazil visa.

That's the situation I narrated above.

oluayebenz:
Work on your travel history, family ties with good acct statements

The bolded is very important

Lets hear from him because these VOs can be subjective like every humans, because I have seen an applicant with good travel history and was given the same reason; he has been to the US and with valid US visa, been to the UK, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. He is working earning more than a million naira monthly; he was told his financial and employment status are part of the reasons for refusal.

segzy14:


Which part of Ogun state?

Igode; Igode is via Adamo Ikorodu

segzy14:



Which part of Lagos?
Prices differ as per the location.

@Segzy14, any idea for Ogun State?

pointednose:
Yes, you will get it through mail

Thanks

pointednose:
I will advise you to not apply in a hurry.

First of all, request for your gcms notes to be sure of the exact reason(s) why you were denied. If you don't address that reason, you may be denied again.

GCMS notes take about 30 days to be ready.

You can google "applygcms" or google any other organization that help with gcms note application .

You didn't have a lot of reasons itemized for your refusal, so I feel knowing what they think is missing in your previous application will help your application.

All the best.

Is the electronic one ok ? The one of $18
