My siblings and I applied for a UK visitor visa for my mum to visit my sisters in the UK.
Application submitted- March 2nd
Biometrics done: 10th March
We paid for £250 for priority because one of my sisters had surgery on the 17th of March which she needed our mum present. Today is March 23rd and application is still stuck on "Application received by DMC"
What do we do please? Any advice on this. We are worried

Yes, but Enter Canada before doing that.

House a quick question, can one change his or her program and school after getting a permit?
I need assistance in this

Are you not in Canada? These are Info you can easily get from ex students if you connect with them.

1. You can only renew your passport in Ottawa. I don't know what province you in, but you need to travel to Ottawa to renew your passport. The good thing right now is you can receive your passport within 2 to 3 weeks. Use this link below to apply and pay for it. Make sure you have your nin and be ready to pay in usd.
https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/passport/epassport/ptype/1By1C

Make sure you take all the necessary documents you are asked to come with on the day of your appointment. Trust me you won't be allowed in if anything is missed especially the bank draft of 50 cad paid to the Nigeria high commission. I suggest you connect with fellow Nigerians to get more info on this.
2. After you have received your passport, then apply to extend your study permit. Log in to your GCkey and Complete the online “Check your eligibility” questionnaire when you click on the "apply to come to canada"
One thing at a time tho. Extend your study permit before thinking of bringing in your spouse

His employment or company papers, his bank statements showing he is capable for sponsorship and proof that he is your brother

tabidemi:
good day gurus in the house, i am a fresh applicant of CIMT, i av gotten my offer of admission and i have made a deposit. i want you guys to guide me to a successful visa approval. i want to use my brother as sponsor, he as given me letter of introduction, letter of sponsorship, NIN and his land documents . my account is also having abt 5M... Pls which other document will i be needing before the SOP. thanks

This is a problem. I am sure in the family information form, you stated all your siblings and same with your brother. Definitely, your sister filled the family information form and mentioned you guys as well.
She has to state all these in her SOP, her stories need to be consistent. Even when you have all the necessary documents for a visa approval you can be turned down for any reason because you avoided an important information they have of you.
For her next application, she can decide to use a recognized immigration consultant, but if she decides to do it herself then she has say the truth this time around
1. Show her siblings in Canada, talk about their progress in Canada( one is working as a..... Employment letter to back it up. Brother a student, Show back up of tuition payments, enrollment letter and transcript with good results. Explain how siblings have displayed reputable characters in Canada, haven't broken the law etc..) this is how you scrap out issues of family ties in Canada
2. As stated earlier by someone else.. Your sister's husband is enough for sponsor. When I started my journey, my husband was my only sponsor. No need to include your dad rather use you your dad, mum, grandparents mother inlaw, father inlaw as family ties in Nigeria. Explain in detail how she and her husband need to come back and take care of them. Afterwards, she needs to state in detail the hospital owned by she and husband. Stating just an admin isn't enough please. She has to state how she supports her husband in running this business smoothly, what are roles are, e.g does she handle the finance aspect, filing of patients record, management of her employees etc.. She wants to take the hospital to greater lengths and to do she has lots to learn which is why the necessary course is needed.. learn to convince the visa officer in her explanations.Show enough documents such as pictures of her having a meeting with the employees, or checking records or filing documents etc.. pictures of hospital, documents of hospital etc..

3. Apologise for omitting necessary informations, state all refusals and include the refusal doc. State how she has covered their reasons and so on..Basically, cover every loose end.
All the best to her

Dorisdili:
Thanks for responding

She didn't talk about her 2 siblings already in Canada in her SOP. She mentioned it in her first application in 2021 and one of the reasons for denial was ties to Canada. So we felt it was best not to mention it this time.

I have completed school and I am currently working and filing taxes yearly.

My brother is currently in his second semester. We didn't mention this in her SOP due to the denial reason in her first application, and we didn't also mention I was in Canada in my brother's SOP when he was applying.

Her SOP was detailed to the best of our knowledge. I am not sure how else we can prove she will come back to Nigeria aside her husband, the family business - the clinic, and the property they have.

Would you be able to advice how we can best explain this in a convincing way? Thank you so much

In her SOP did she talk about her 2 siblings already in Canada? Have you completed school and currently working with a good job here in Canada and you file your taxes yearly in Canada? Your needed to state this in her SOP.
What of your brother, has he covered all his tuition fees and did she show his transcript of his 1st semester or whatever semester he is currently? She needed to show this. She needs to show the progress of her siblings who are currently in Canada.
Also, its not about showing documents, how detailed was her sop in covering her family ties in Nigeria? She had to be more detailed in showing why she will be back to nigeria because 2 already left.
Do I make sense to you? She should put in immediately and this time around cross her Ts and dot her Is and she will get it.

Hi everyone. So sorry for the confusion from my last post. The issue below is for my elder sister. She doesn't have a nairaland account, hence I posted on her behalf.

Yes, I got study visa is 2018 and I am in Canada now. I posted in 2021 about a study visa denial and it was about this my sister which I mentioned the denial in the previous post and in this post. I posted in 2022, and it was my brother who got approved and we didn't know how to send his passport. So sorry that my previous post was confusing but we really need help on this one. Any assistance anyone can render is appreciated!

My sister got denied again the second time. Please see screenshot attached for the reason.

The first denial was due to ties in Nigeria and Canada as she has siblings in Canada. Also, the purpose of visit as she used a diploma course to apply and not post graduate. She ordered gcms note and the officer added that she is single and mobile and is not convinced she will leave Canada at the end of her stay, the officer also wrote that the program is not in line with her career path as she has a first degree in English and she was going for Health care Admin. She choose this course because she has work experience working as an admin in a clinic. Her sponsor was my Dad at the time, she paid first semester and closing balance was about 34million

We took my time and read through nairaland, and she reapplied for a post graduate health care administration and she eventually got married along the line.

This time she applied with a post graduate admission, used her husband as sponsor and my dad as co-sponsor. Her husbands statement was 27 million, her personal account was 17million, my dad's statement was 34million, she paid first semester tuition and in her statement of purpose, she explained how the course will be beneficial to her and the family business as her husband is a Doctor and he owns a private clinic, and how she has experience working as an admin but wants to improve her skillset in order to revamp the family business - the clinic. She added her husband's land documents, her land document and my dads land document, she added her husband's business registration and clinic documents, she added my dad's business documents as well. She also added her shares documents, sponsor letters from both sponsors stating willingness to remain sponsors.

At this point we are not sure what she did wrong this time to get finance and assets as a reason for denial as she used the same assets as the last application (dads land, statement) in addition to her land and husband's land documents and statement. She is the only one traveling as well. Someone please help. Thank you.

Sorry again for the confusion on my last post!

I think you already answered your own question.. Why won't you inform them tho, do you want to make it difficult for you to bring your spouse over?You better inform them unless you plan to abandon your spouse in naija

Amosey:
Please, I am confused about informing IRCC about my marriage now that I'm still here or wait after I land in Canada and apply for sowp for my wife. I am worried about if not informing them about my marriage now will amount to misrepresentation.
Abeg help a confused bro.🙏

Please do you need transit visa for layover just in France?

It's PPR my people���
My God is good and kind to me

Applied for visiting visa for my spouse 11th January 2022 and got refusal 9th of February.
I met @Makano on nairaland through a friend's recommendation and we applied for Sowp for spouse on March 13th 2022 and received ppr July 12th.
God is so good, I can't contain my joy.
Thank you Makano for taking my excesses because I'm sure I gave you a tough time. My husband is coming to Canada and it can only be God.

To those waiting yours is coming.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Go ahead and apply with your family and don't let anyone talk you out of it. Show that you have enough funds to cover you all, Show your home ties. Just package your application well, no loose ends and you will all get it that's fact. Also, upfront Medicals for you all is necessary. All the best.

Hi, I have been a silent follower of this thread and I have read almost every comment here just to make a informed decision. I just got my admission and I am about to start my Visa application process. Now the question I have bothering me is this, is it advisable for me to apply for my student study Permit with my wife and 2 kids? Or I should apply go first then use the normal VV or Sowp route that a lot of people on here to bring them to join me?

Hi guys, new to this forum and will really appreciate your advice.
I have 3 sisters in the UK that got indefinite leave to remain in the UK. They want to invite one of my sisters in naija. She has visited severally in the past and also had 5years visit visa but got expired and she never renewed. Now she wants to visit the UK. My sisters in the UK will take care of her accommodation and feeding. My questions:
1. Can my husband sponsor her trip to visit her sisters?
2. What are the documents she needs to provide now, its been a while she visited.
3. After quiting her job She started her own business but hasn't generated so much of a revenue to use her bank statement. Please will need advice on how she can go about this application and come out successful. Thank you.
