Hello Nairalander, I'm so impressed on everyone's contributions on this platform, I submitted my TRV application with my passport on 29/01/2020, I received biometrics validity letter (BVL) 19/02/2020. Please how long does It takes to receive a final decision ? Just so bothered about that.

Jewel80:
Yea, I've checked the webpage. I saw this as one of the things she should give..The original Visa Application Centre Services Receipt issued by the Visa Application Centre.
Which receipt is this? I submitted online, is just a submission confirmation i got

Jewel80:
Who is she giving this letter to? My sister or the Visa office center in Lagos

Hello Everyone, I applied to Dalhousie University and was able to speak with a supervisor who wanted to accept me as her student but when she saw my transcript with a CGPA of 3.l7 told me my grade is not high enough. Please could anyone suggest universities in Canada to me that accept second class lower(hon). Thanks

Jewel80:
Hi guys, my mum just did her biometric yesterday in Lagos. She will be heading back to the east soon and I was wondering if it is allowed for my sister who lives in Lagos to go submit mummy's passport when they approve her. What is required for this to happen pls?

His case is a bit complicated - He had applied for a couple of study permits in the last 3 years that were denied due to proof of funds, limited employment prospects etc. His ties to Canada would be me, as we are dating and disclosed that in the application. He has been to the US and UK in the last 2 years on visits and returned back to his job which he has been employed at for about 6 years now - not a spectacular paying job, but not bad by nigerian standards. We struggled with the decision of disclosing our relationship and there were many conflicting posts on Nairaland and Canadavisa. In the end, we opted for the truth. I work in the same profession in Canada with a six-figure salary and i am a Canadian citizen. I provided a strong letter of invitation and supporting documents like my payslips, employment letter, lease and my Canadian passport. I knew his previous refusals may play a role in the outcome of this application but i was hoping for the best.

I'm wondering what you'd advise us to do as per next steps. Reconsideration/appeal? Or just see the relationship play out and when we are married, apply for the spousal visa? I'd appreciate your input on this.

Quick update:

My friend's application was denied. He received the final decision letter today. Reasons were limited employment prospects and ties to Canada. We've applied for his GCMS notes for more information.

My joy knows no bounds. I submitted paper application for TRV on 20/12/2019, received biometric validity letter on 28/01/2020. On 03/02/2020 I received a message again from VFS that my decision envelope is ready for collection. Was delivered by courier service today and it was approved!!!!!. Tried severally to link my paper application to an online account but it kept saying 'no information found'. Am more than happy.

yomisley:
My application was refused and to my surprise the whole process was too fast. I submitted January 14 went for bioMetric the third day. Today I got an email that my application was refused. With this nonsense generic response “
• 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 travel history.
• 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 the purpose of your visit.
• 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 personal assets and financial status.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.“

This was just too fast.

How do I Request for GCMS note.

Temeetee:
hello guys, i have a challenge. My uncle calls me out of the blues that he will be visiting Canada with his family (wife and 3 kids- they have extensive travel history including US and some european companies) and that he will like to include me on the application. He then follows through by requesting my docs. i sent him my passport data page, SOA, letter of introduction by my office, Family info form, application form, etc. Recently, he told me the docs have been submitted and we will go for biometrics soon. However, my biggest headache now is that, out of curiosity, i typed his name on google and his name props up with a news headline with his name being mentioned in a contract bid fraud with a major international bank. The accusation was that he misrepresented his company's experience of doing the same job. He didnt tell me this all along. now i dont even know if he used my name as
the principal applicant or not, hes really secretive about this application. Remember application has been submitted just awaiting biometrics. Pls what do you advise i do, i dont want to be banned because of this.

Echinedu1:

Gcms will not show reason for usa visa refuse ..it about canada application so if you never apply canada visa previously it impossible to order gcms note without a case number because of usa refusal

Jewel80:
My mum has previously been denied Visa to enter U.S. She has been denied 3 times. How much details should I include in her application to visit Canada. Should I focus on her reason for denial on the 3rd recent refusal? Or all of them? The other two was a long time ago and we don't know reason for refusal for those ones. Also, aside the reason for refusal, what other detail should I include? Thanks guys!

Mabadejesunday:
Congrats bro.

I’m about to submit a visit visa app to attend a cousin’s wedding. He gave me wedding invitation already. His elder brother also gave me invitation letter stating that he will provide housing and food for me. Please how did you respond to the questions below:

1- Do you have a family member who is a Canadian Citizen or permanent resident? (IRCC defines this as spouse or common law partner or children. No, based on the info you gave, you don't have a family member.

2- Considering that I have a letter from the elder brother to provide housing and food, how do I respond to the question- Do you depend on someone for financial support? Do you have a job in Nigeria or do you depend on your invitee for financial support like monthly stipend etc. It is a straightforward question

Please I will appreciate opinion from other gurus in the house as well.

Hello House,
I got a final decision letter today and my visa was refused.
What did you think I did wrong or I did not do. I submitted my application on Dec 23, Biometric same day. I include the following in my application. My employment letter. My leave letter for April 2020, My salary account with 2.3m and another account with 7m, invitation letter from my cousin with 3 of his paycheques. my marriage Certificate. Then I have a valid US visa to be expired in Sep, 2020. And I have travelled to Saudi 2016 and US 2018.

Here is the content of the letter. What do you think I should do next?

Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada. After careful review of your temporary resident visa application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). 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 the purpose of your visit.
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.

@Geotherm, sorry for the refusal for your sister.

Purpose of visit, this basically contains your flight and accomodation booking and you dont have to pay down, but make sure the dates flow. Please use an agent to book them. many make mistakes in this part booking by themselves and the VO seeing a mistake will believe you have another motive. Some people booking on their own forget it takes about 2 days or more depending on the number of stops to get to Canada and they will fix accomodation date to start from the day they departed Nigeria. The VO will just use it as an excuse. Then in addition you can add your personal itinerary but its not compulsory, this basically is like a timetable of major things you will be doing for each day spent in canada.
If someone like a relation is over there let the person invite her via a letter, stating the reason for visit, length of stay, her name, occupation, relationship to the person inviting her, her date of birth and house address, who will sponsor the trip ?

Proof of salary, she just needs to submit minimum of 4months pay slip or average of 6months not 3months, then her bank statement 6months from salary account, adding letter of introduction from employer and leave letter as well as tax card if available.

Hope this helps......
