Hi gbfav if you linked your paper application online then you should sign in and check the status of your application I bet they're processing your application now. something must have changed by now. As at the 11th they said they're processing April 21st application so I believe they should have gotten to 24th April.

Solemidayo there's no format, send an email to the address you have inquiring why your application is delayed because it's past the normal processing time.

gbfav fill every single field, the date of arrival in canada is the date you entered in your application form that you'd be going to Canada and the date you'd leave canada is the "leaving" date amount available for travel is the amount you entered on your application form. There's no marital status field. Fill every field with the exact information you entered in your application

quote author=Yjc07 post=57855412]Please house I need your help with this confusing questions;

1.Purpose of visit; Is attending a film festival in Canada regarded as Business or Tourist ?

2.Regarding Employment for the past 10 years " my current job starts "FROM 2014", but the application form requires a TO,in order to show when the job will end.My question is since I'm presently still in my current job, what will i write on the column "TO ?

3."Should the film festival or hotel accommodation be used as my contact in Canada?

I will appreciate a quick response.[/quote]

One more thing jawa, my sister inlaw applied for canada TRV(last year) via online which was refused. She used an agent for her application which I strongly adviced her against but she insisted. The problem is that the agent made some mistakes while filling her TRV Application Form eg she was refused US visa in 2010 while she was a student in England but she subsequently got the visa and have travelled to the US alot of times. The agent checked NO instead of YES to if she has been refused visa previously. She has since made another application this year and answered yes for having been refused US visa in 2010 but her problem is that the VO will ref to her previous application where she checked No. She also mention in her LOE that she used an agent in her previous application and that the mistake was from him that it wasn't deliberate. having mentioned that she used an agent in her pervious application which was refused will it affect the outcome of her new application. 





quote author=Jawa post=57226717]

Hi SamReinvented, please make your letter concise and straight to the point. state your application ID as part of the subject for easier tracking. introduce yourself properly and go straight to the modifications you request. you can also attach the document as evidence. don't stress or lose sleep over this as your application cannot be refused because of it. it is a minor error and a VO would understand.
Best of luck.[/quote]

hi ifymeme, every application is different and on its own merits.with a simple request, the VO already knows about your US history and may have foreseen this plan you just concluded on. you mentioned you applied via paper route meaning your passport is included in your application. the VO will see the US visa and note that. however, a US visa will not guarantee a canadian visa(should influence but not guarantee) whether used or not. i know people personally who have valid US visas, traveled multiple times before applying for a canadian TRV and it was refused. dont stress it, VOs understand plans change. last year, i had planned in an application to visit saskatoon and Calgary international as my POE. work happened and i didnt have any space. eventually traveled november via Pearson intl in Toronto on egyptair because lufthansa wanted to kill me with pricing on the calcary route.
my opinion is, your application has already been made, you cant really change it. just keep your fingers crossed,regret nothing and pray it goes well so you can cross over and over in Niagara falls and chop life.
alternatively, you can email them about this new plan and its details and see how that goes. best of luck[/quote]

Hi you just have to wait, my friend applied for canada TRV online application on 18th May 2016 did diometrics the same day she got her visa on 24th October 2016 that's 5 whole months. And please note that her cousin applied on 13th may 2016 that's 6 days before her. The cousin got his visa on 19th September 2016. So applying at the same time with someone else does not guarantee that your visas will be ready at the same time.



Meggito:
Hello all, and congrats to everyone that got approved. This waiting is really tiring, I can't even apply for my study permit cos I'm scared that if I apply for it, we might be denied the visit visa. Really wish I knew circumstances or reasons for delay.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by ifymeme: 12:59pm On Jun 05, 2017
Hi jawa, please I have a question. I applied for canada TRV on the 27th of April 2017 paper application. I have a valid American visa which i have not used yet, got the visa June last year. In the canada visa application I didn't mention I would be visiting America in my trip itinerary. My fear is would the VO have doubts as to why I haven't visited America yet since I have a valid American visa and and seeking for a Canadian visa.now I intend to go to NYC for a few days while i'm on holiday in canada I didn't mention this in my canada application cos i just decided on that.I really regret not mentioning it in my canada application.Please note I have been to the US before with a previous visa.

Jawa:
dear deejay102, ties to home country are what VOs are looking out for. it is good to be honest here but a VO is specifically trained to weigh your connection to your home country and the reason for your visit and judge if the applicant will come back. i neither know how they're trained nor how they judge circumstances around an application but you already have doubts. this means your application will most likely be refused. your ties are limited and apparently the most important thing/person in your life now is in canada. the VO knows about this.
why would you want to stay back on a visit visa anyway? this is the 21st century and things dont work easily that way anymore. you cannot work legally on a visit visa and canadians are too loyal as they will ask to see a work permit even for the flimsiest of jobs. you dont have medicals covered as a visitor and as an overstay, if you get into a situation and end up in a hospital, it may be from there to detention then airport for deportation. if you hear police siren, you heart will skip. you cannot open a bank account or dive a car because once you get pulled over its a problem and if you eventually get deported, you can kiss Canada, US, UK, Australia and Newzealand bye for at least 5 to 10 years as they use a very cooperative immigration history system.
my advice is to clear your doubts before applying. if your nysc is significant, use it as a tie. if the land can be yours or shown to be yours in the future, get documented evidence. maybe finish nysc and get a job, preferably in line with what you studied and work for a while. maybe have your wife visit again and take more pictures with a camera that imprints date in pictures. also have pictures from her previous visit and the wedding. you have a great burden to overcome so throw at it all the evidence you've got. relevant evidence i mean.
best of luck.you need it.
