However, I submitted my employment letter, company ID card, payslips, introduction letter from the company and my leave approval letter

What the guy stated means he is just a staff member of the company. Therefore, he is not expected to present the company's registration certificate, nor is he responsible for the company's tax payments since he is not the owner. However, his own personal income tax documents can help.

The new president in your company cannot dictate the visa requirements of a foreign country. That's not how international diplomacy works.

Let's be honest with ourselves: now is not the best time for a Canadian visitor visa application, given the recent refusal rate. There's more to it than IRCC is disclosing, as a visa is a privilege and not a right. Any applicant can try their best, but nothing is guaranteed in the current situation, especially for visitor visas!

Canadians are growing increasingly uneasy with the number of new immigrants coming to the country, with three out of five people saying there are “too many,” the highest rate of dissatisfaction with Canada’s immigration policies in decades, according to a new poll

I wish all new applicant all the best but pls applicant shlould not put their egg in one basket and ensure you have alternative plan for life in this current global situation !

I am telling you that I’m speaking from experience. It’s inactive status.

Most business names and companies don’t pay their tax returns. They wouldn’t state that the money is fraud rather they don’t know the source of his fund.

They don’t care about your millions or billions in your account. They want to know the genuine source of it.

If he’s the one that applied it, he should notify his MD to pay their tax return and it has to be from date of registration to 2023. Though it’s not big money.

He should tell the person to facilitate it and make it active in CAC website and he should reapply. That’s the only issue he has nothing else.

My only concern is that they take lot of time. It does be another 5/6months more to spend .

If there’s room for appeal, he can quickly work on the active status and notify their HR to use the company’s letterhead to write to them that the company has been in operation for years, and has been actively functioning in his country for mention the number of years; that whatever happened was due to human error due to work load or negligence from corporate affairs commission that the company has notified them of the update and they’ve taken action immediately to that regards. Also notify them that your company is a reputable company and if they’re not actively functioning in your country, they wouldn’t be transacting in your country bank.

Include copies of the company’s different bank cheques (black pages) and any other receipt on commercial or government related payments they do make like NHF etc.

But make sure the inactive status is rectified. These people their country system is working and they believe any legally functioning company should be registered in that country and should be verifiable.

If you’re applying again, after rectifying this, still attached this detials as (clarification letter from previous refusal).

You also include a self Attestation letter separately stating that your only main purpose of traveling is strictly for tourist and to witness the beauty and bliss of …….. and after that, you’d be coming back to your country to continue with your lucrative job and also take care of your assets etc.

The fact is, If you didn’t rectify the inactive status and reapply, it does still bounce back to same issue.

The only issue in your refusal is inactive status. Every other thing is ok. It’s like working for an illegal company in your country and looking for means to travel and not come back because the company you’re working for in your country is not recognized and can close down anytime.

Your work is your home ties and they want it to be a recognized and legalized company in your country. How can they verify that? It’s only via CAC website.

I prefer the student GCMS note as it is more detailed. While the visitor visa note tends to be more generic, this GCMS note clearly means that you have the required funds inside the account . However, the visa officer expressed concerns about the source of these funds, as the information provided does not align with the submitted documents. Additional evidence is needed to demonstrate how the money was sourced and to confirm your financial stability.

For visitor visa applicants, this can be a complex issue. In contrast, student visa applicants have the opportunity to include comprehensive documentation, such as receipts of business transactions, tax clearances, and proof of landed property. Any lump sum amounts can also be explained. Reapplying with this detailed information often results in approval.

Recently, visitor visa applicants face a different set of challenges. Justifying the purpose of travel to Canada for tourism is particularly difficult if you have no prior travel history and no family in Canada. Investing a substantial amount for a brief 10-day trip raises questions. Unlike student visa applicants, who can cite educational advancement, visitor visa applicants must provide extensive proof of their source of funds, property ownership, and reasons for choosing Canada over other destinations.

Furthermore, it is crucial for visitor visa applicants to demonstrate strong ties to their home country to assure the visa officer of their intent to return

It’s inactive company status in corporate affairs commission (that means the company doesn’t exist in the country and the source of fund can’t be ascertain) nothing else. Since the new President entered it’s now also one of the visa criteria’s as to enforce companies to be paying their tax returns.

He should clear their tax returns and he does get the visa God Willing and He should mention reason for the refusal and also state it has been rectified.

I’m speaking from experience.

My GCMS NOTES finally arrived after a long wait..

It’s stated that there was limited information regarding my employment. However, I submitted my employment letter, company ID card, payslips, introduction letter from the company and my leave approval letter

Sorry about that. I think maybe your company might be inactive in CAC website. To them the company ain’t functioning in your country Nigeria hence they don’t know the source of your income.

If it’s UK, UK will state it clearly that your company you said you’re working in your country does not display it in your country’s corporate affairs commission. Therefore, they don’t know the genuine source of your income.

Kindly work on that and reapply just that the time waiting ehhhh ain’t here.

May God Almighty Help Us All, Amen!

I was going through Quora online question and answer App like Nairaland too and discovered that we can basically travel with a valid Visa in an old passport.

It’s clearly stated in IRCC site as the person attached the link. If we can travel with a valid visa in an expired passport there’s no need to much at stress.

All one needs is to travel with both the old ans new passport as it’s stated in IRCC website.

This news is awesome land hope airlines will adhere to it.

Please someone help me

Simply address why she was refused and reapply for her.

You can be her sponsor and still attach her own statement and business type

Include her pictures with your siblings in nigeria and your dad and also her marriage certificate. You can include some assets for her too if she has. Those things will serve as family ties.

Attach hotel and return flight ticket reservation for her too.

But the most thing to do is to address the reason for her previous refusal.

My leave letter states October so my travel date starts from October but valid for 2years.

I was Carried away with over happiness. My appointment was 23rd July not 22nd August

My application was very straight like the first one.

Obidikejr:
Hello all, hope you're well. I wish you the very best in your application!

Pls I need a little clarification.

I read some of the pages of this thread but didn't see the part that clarifies:

1. Should my company address the letter of introduction to the UK embassy? If yes, to what department in the embassy or to whom.

The letter states what my company does, who I am, my role at the company and what date I expect to return back and resume work.

2. Should I date the letter or leave it without date.

3. The inflow and outflow of funds in my account since the beginning of this year averages 4m - 8m per month. But I rarely leave money in it, it's either in my savings app or it's used for business. But as I begin my application I want to deposit some amount to sit in the account till I apply (as proof of funds). I don't know if that is advised.

Thank you.

When is comes to statement of account, don’t just put up and explanation letter of the transactions in your account. Make sure you also attach receipt or investment or whatever document to backup your claims.

Let there be evidence. They work with evidence to know the source of the money .
