Ah ah. Watappun in this place? I was only gone a few hours nau.  So root of the matter is, if sugarbuddy can apply to the US abi? He has already applied severally through different agents in the 90's and somehow I suspect misrepresentation would have crept in. He still tried again a 3 years back and was still refused. Sugarbuddy, even if you are not banned, whatever that you did wrong may still held against you and the only way to be sure that US hand nor dey for this your Canada Visa application, is to get the GCMS notes. It will also throw more light on the other reasons for refusal that is not so clear. Without a friend to assist you over there you might need pay someone to help you get the information. I saw www.gcmsnow.com and www.caips.ca as some sites worth checking out. Also a couple of lawyers online. Do have a safe flight and lovely vacation in the UK! |

sugarbuddy: Thanks for your response.
How do I request for GCMS.
I once got a 214b from US but not banned and I declared that in my Canada application. I have never overstayed in any country- my travel days is always btw 10-12days.
Thank you. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.aspThe cost is $5 but to send a request you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or an individual or corporation currently in Canada. If you have someone in Canada you can fill form IMM 5744 and they can help you file for access to information. Some websites also offer to help you for a fee but I I feel you should verify before giving them money. The instructions for application and payment is in the link above. Good Luck! |

As at that time I flew lufthansa to UK for 200k and it was still expensive! You can check out the cost to fly now. You should also read between the lines. He didn't state how much is in the Fixed deposit account. It can be liquidated prematurely to provide funds as needed. He also submitted travel history though he didn't list it as part of the documents he submitted. Also IRCC can get employment information from his company. Even the US has job and salary information that the Canadians can tap into and I can bet you that he's got gainful employment. I am taking time to break this down because we mention God a lot and use His name to waste money. We engage in Visa Gambling and throw away billions every year. E dey pain me.....seriously. |

sugarbuddy: Hello house,
My application was denied, reasons stated is fund not sufficient, no travel history and asset declared not sufficient.
@ Awelekiti and other can you please help analyse my document. Though I have no intention of re-applying till next year.
1. Submitted- Dom account - 10k dollar ( me and my wife's account)
2. Naira savings Account- 3.5m( me and wiffy) 3. Plots of land in lagos and home town.( proof of ownership) jointly owned by myself and wiffy. 4. Evidence of purchase and proof ownership of my 2012 camry bought late last year frm USA. 5. Kids investment account - 6 . Reference letter frm our work place to the embassy. 7. Wiffy a Banker- 4yrs and myself ( Head of IT in a well known organization- 8yrs. 8. Have a uk visa, traveled 2 uk and dubai in the past.
Please do I try US or I should travel for my family vacation without applying any country and re -apply next year.
Thank you Sorry about that. There is a common misconception about the details of a refusal letter that I would like to clarify. When any item is ticked it DOES NOT mean that you don't have it. Your travel history for instance could mean you violated the conditions of your Visa when you travelled to another country. Or it could mean a country or countries found you inadmissible. My apologies but I went through your posts and I need to ask if you have finally confirmed if you have a lifetime ban from the US. Canada announced a few years back that all applicants will be screened with the US immigration data Base for blacklisted candidates. Also if you did not mention in your Canada Visa application that you have been refused a US Visa severally, then you have shot yourself again in the foot as it seems you haven't really changed. Please kindly request a GCMS note from IRCC as this will give you more details as to the refusal. |

RedReact: ^^^ IN addition to what Oga at the top said, does the passport have 6 months validity on it? If yes, they may not want to renew the passport yet. Even with more than 6months validity she can Cancel it for the reason of name change. The immigration officer I spoke to this morning listed: 1. Marriage certificate 2. Affidavit of Marriage. 3. Newspaper Publication 4. Data page of husbands international passport. @ Bosayo, kindly head to the immigration office or give them a call to find out for yourself and get the requirements. Cheers! |

Bosayo: Hello House, I want to appreciate everyone that has contributed on this thread.
My hubby and I want to apply for canada TRV but my passport will expire next year. Can i apply with a new passport in my husband's name as my current passport carries my maiden name in order to maximise the number of years i will be given .Also, we both have valid us visa on our passports.
Thanks alot You can cancel your current passport and get a passport in your husbands name. It does not nullify the valid US Visa nor does it negatively affect your TRV application. Just have the necessary documents to back up your application and you'll be fine. |

smallz001: Sorry guys for the late response. I have been busy th3e3 past days. Below are the documents submitted for TRv via online route.
-invitation letter -bank statement -valid US and Turkish visa -entry/exit visa for US and Turkey -employment letter with payslips
To be honest, i think its just the US visa and visit to the US that did it. I am guessing they felt if i have the opportunity to go to US and remain I would have done so, and therefore wouldn't do the same for canada. You have a point. They emphasise that: "You must provide information on your valid visa from the United States as well as previous travel history. If you hold a valid visa from the United States, provide a clear, scanned copy of your visa" Still, it requires more. You are gainfully employed with sufficient money to fund your trip. This is a key factor. |

awelekiti: Make I also share good news with you guys here..my Technician Applied for TRV on the 20th of July. I accompanied him to VFS today after were done with the presentation we went for, around Lekki. He was panicking like kilodeee, since he got his pickup message by vfs yesterday. Maybe because he perpetrated some blunders on his family information form, on which he mistakenly signed that he's got no kids, even though he submitted his child birth certificate and filled-in his boy's name in the column provided on the form. I noticed these mistakes on the photocopy he made, after he had already submitted his documents at vfs on the 20th of July. I told him to send them an email right away and attach a correctly signed and filled form which he did. On getting there today, he found a multiple visa, 2 years on his passport. He's a first time applicant to Canada but he's been to schenghen area a couple of times.(Hungary and Germany)
Below are the documents I arranged for him...
-Salary Account
-USD Domiciliary Account
-Euro Domiciliary Account
-2 Current accounts with 3m and 3.5m naira credit balance each
-Employment Letter indicating his leave date and salary structure
-Bond, which I prepared that he must remain under employment with us for 3 years( a good tie to his home country).
-Board Resolution stating the PTA that will be given to him upon issuance of his visa by CIC
-Copies of his Schenghen Visas(coloured)
-Copies of his previous foreign training certificates
-Flight reservation
-Hotel reservation
-Conference Invitation
-Conference registration invoice
-Introduction Letter and
-Itinerary
I wish everybody still waiting here, the very best. Awelekiti awelekiti.............  |

irebami16: Me too is waiting to hear from CIC now 119 days today Not to worry. It seems to be a general issue. I remember when online applications was quite fast. I do suspect bureaucratic or administrative bottleneck resulting in this situation. I've used the case enquiry form twice. You can check my posts for their replies. I also have some correspondence with Lagos immigration which I did not share. The only office that has not replied my mails so far is Accra immigration. This makes them look like the bad guys but you can't really tell because IRCC , formerly known as CIC, says they have the ability to move applications around their global network to ensure they are processed as efficiently as possible. So I think it's best to just sit tight and have faith for the best. Cheers. |

I'm against rape even if she's a prostitute. A woman's No should be respected. I've seen a couple of men rape and thought they got away with it only to reap the repercussions later. The guy could have declared his intentions at the very beginning or pulled out at any given time if he wasn't getting what he wanted. Instead he stayed and plotted cos he had probably vowed to enter there by all means. To all guys who say she got what she deserved trust me, you don't want to violate a woman and make you her a prayer topic. Like I said before..... it is well with the perp and the observer.

My day has been so messed up. I went to see a friend of mine in his house. I was surprised the door wasn't locked and even the gate wasn't locked. I decided to help myself to a drink from his bar as soon as I entered the living room. As I was about serving myself, something told me to check on him in his room to see if he's there. As I approached his room I started hearing sounds. I decided to know what the noise was all about without making a sound.
Only for me to see a girl begging my friend to please have mercy on her and my friend was telling her to shut-up and comply. He was even beating the girl and have even torn her clothes. The girl was weeping bitterly and after about 20mins I decided to pretend I was just coming in by calling his name. He then told me to please wait for him in the living room. He joined me in the living room after about 10mins. I asked why he was breathing heavily and he told me that he just finished having sex with a girl. I confronted him with the truth and he opened up. He said he has been dating this girl for and that he has been spending money on her but she refused him sex. He said he used today's incident to recover all the money he has spent on her.
I'm really stuck between the devil and deep blue sea right now. The girl in question wants me to help report the issue to the police cos she's scared of being stigmatized. On the otherhand, the guy in question is my childhood friend. I can't imagine snitching on my homie and brother. I know it's wrong for him to have raped her but why would a girl be demanding for stuffs from a guy when she knows she's not willing to play ball. You waited 20mins amidst the tears of that girl. You watched and waited. You did nothing. You then called out to him and gave him extra 10mins for him to finish up. It is well with you. Let God reward accordingly. |

Do we need to create an account online? The forms are the same. Please use the guide and the checklist. You can later create an account online to link your paper application. IyawoToBe: What's common law union again? Those that aren't legally married abi? *pardon my ignorance abeg* CIC glossary definition of Common-Law: A person who has been living with another person in a conjugal relationship for at least one year. The term refers to opposite-sex and same-sex relationships. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/glossary.aspPlease note that not everyone who cohabits is in a common-law relationship. It occurs with willful acceptance of the status by both parties. For example; Mr A and Ms B live together. Mr A tells everyone including Ms B that she is his wife. If Ms B accepts this then it's a common-law union. If Ms B objects and says Mr A has not paid her dowry or done court wedding, then it's only Cohabitation. Please also note that CIC requires proof of common-law union. |
