bigfido:

Yes. Submitted my coy documents and statements of account. Contracts letters, tax clearance, and all those things. I felt that's what they needed to see the most

If you submitted all these things you listed then you are in order. I wonder why you keep saying you didn't submit enough documents.

bigfido:


Nothing o. I just felt that should be enough. Na when I reach here I see as I suppose don bombard them with everything wey man get. Even the UK one, I submitted just statements

Are you self employed?

bigfido:
Na Jayfierce carry the remaining visa validity. Come and give me small na

Lol. You read my mind. I've been feeling bad like I actually took the remaining Visa. Especially since they started working on your files. What kind of documents did you submit as proof of funds aside the bank statements?

RedReact:

It will end in praise, by God's grace.
By the way, who is Houston?

Lol. He's just saying oyibo things don't mind him. Astronauts communication with ground control in Houston. See wetin IRCC dey do person. Anyways make I nor speak against my benefactor before I get Visa reversal.

bigfido:
161 days people. Houston, we have now left Methuselah behind!

Bros, how far? Any sign at all?

Which one is education upandan? Abeg, she can be home schooled. There are hungry educated people all over the country. School is for you to find yourself and it seems like she's already found her calling.

I need someone to please help me provide the email of cic in Ghana and a sample letter with the format.
Thanks

accra.immigration@international.gc.ca

Just send a courteous mail requesting to know the status of your application which has exceeded normal processing times. Provide your application or UCI number. You can later follow up with a case enquiry form if they don't respond to your mail.

You've been bearing in silence and popping in occasionally to view comments. Was wondering what was up with you. Godspeed.

eddycross:


Well done bro. Congrats.

You done well on this thread.. we are behind you.

Thanks!

Woke up from hibernation ... to see this great piece of news! Congratulations! I guess it was worth the wait. You are smiling now and that's all that matters. Cheers!

Welcome back from hibernation! I remember the 113 days calculation. IRCC will not give person BP. Thank God for not allowing them to disgrace me.

Thanks Mr Jayfierce. I read about that somewhere too and I believe its a good thing to do. But what's the chance of that making my application process longer because from what I've read about online applications on here of late, it takes so long and of course that is not new to you from experience. So please enlighten me some more on this. Thanks 'SIR'.

Lol. It doesn't convert it to an online application. Fear not, your application will be processed by Lagos Immigration and you will be getting updates from your CIC account.

The best of both worlds

manlikegb:
My Questions are:
1. I did a paper route application for about a week now, how do I know that CIC have received my application?

In addition, you can link your paper application online and receive updates as it progresses.

irebami16:

Jayfierce... Congrat Bro!!! me so happy for you. It worth waiting for non of the embassy issues a long duration visa like dis lol Congratulation once again at least U r happy now.

awelekiti:
Hmmm. But UK does issue up to that duration na

Yeah, but I guess he meant the visa obtained versus the amount spent. The UK offers 6months to 10 years but you spend more if you are want more.

The Canadian Visa gives value for money if you have sufficient passport validity and they have no issues with your application.

Onaliaku:
my brother is 4yrs, marital status is obviously single, still a student. And again, I'm sponsoring both my mum and brother with $17000 in my account.

They're just coming to visit and go back. If these things I listed is the issue then I don't know what else to do.

Things I submit were very strong documents, I'm surprised to see that refused letter

How long are they visiting? Is your father in Nigeria? What is your status in Canada?

zeus001:
Wow...Congrats Jayfierce! God is awesome. I pray I get this same news soon.

Thanks brother! Processing times has dropped so we will join you in waiting for a result soonest. Wish you the best in your application.

ifax:
Finally! Congrats @jayfierce

Thank you! Thank you!!

bigfido:


Yea that might be the case. I submitted a huge statement of account including my trip to the US for birthing in March. So there are a lot of dollar transactions in there. I merged almost 4 accounts into one pdf file. The quality of the file wasn't so good because I had to reduce the resolution to fit 4.5mb. My travel history is good thou. Been to the US 5 times, UAE 4 times, Turkey 2ice, Germany, UK and Spain all in the past 2 years. I am guessing they are working on the probability visavis my statement of account. I had barely 200k in the account but I am a confident about travel history and monies moving through the account. The wait continues. Huge congrats on your visa! I tap into your favor

Thanks bro. Abeg I like to near you. Your travel history and dollar bread na the highest.

shadeebee78:
@jayfierce come and gimme small out of your validity o. Thank God it ended well, congrats once again.

As long as na you, i go give you sharperly. Hope I can go by winter God willing so that I go see the reason for plenty noise about Canada.

irebami16:

Jayfierce... Congrat Bro!!! me so happy for you. It worth waiting for non of the embassy issues a long duration visa like dis lol Congratulation once again at least U r happy now.

Jayfirece kindly advise me. I just renewed my passport cos the previous one is expiring in Dec 2016. Is it necessary to notify IRCC about my passport renewal?
As at the time i submitted my application online, the passport validity was 7 month and Nigeria immigration service only renews for less than 6 months.

You got your answer. Case enquiry form. Thought we dealt with this some weeks back. Success bro.

awelekiti:
Wow! You must wash it for me,when I come back ooooo! It's not how far that really matters, but how well. Just reading this now. I'm not in town....in ontario participating in the African Young Entrepreneur's summit....remember the free-to-attend summit? Congrats! If you like, go the online route again in 2021, na one year your visa application go spend for Accra IRCC hand,lol. I'm so happy for you.

Thanks bro. For the fact that it's Accra that marks the scripts I won't patronise them again. We must patronise our own Lagos IRCC.

RedReact:

After 5 months, then hand out rejection, kai!!!

Yes oooo!!! Really painful.

As per the bolded, was it March this year? If yes, we, your online family members must be given a christening treat na.

Who knows, maybe there is and they will be the pioneer beneficiaries.
Let's wait and see the outcome - if they eventually make the app.

I am not a fan of try your luck. In the process of trying luck the next thing is to perform padding. From using fathers land, to using uncle as sponsor. I just had to state it the way it is.

friendly101:
hi house please I need your advice.
I will like to apply for Canada visa.
I will like to know the requirements for paper routine, I applied last year online and now my questions are will I go through medicals and biometrics again?
how much must I have in my account to apply for visiting.

Hi. Read through the thread. You'll find what you need. Good luck!

Just got my passport back now and I thank God for making me smile .

Multiple entry visa from September 2016 to February 2021. Visa expires ONE day before my passport expiry. Awesome!

Visa issued by Accra IRCC. So it's confirmed that Accra has been the culprit all along. Looool.

I really thank God for seeing me through to the end of this long journey.

We dey 154 for here

Someone tipped me that they applied towards May 2016 ending and they got refused a few days back. They are definitely working on your application. Maybe they find it hard to verify some information.

Meanwhile my passport is on its way back.

brotundes:
A friend is about to submit his application via paper with a sponsor turn over account of 500m and credit balance of 4.5m. His own account turn over 5.3m and credit balance of 300k,married and traveled to west africa countries 3times a manager in his company going on tourism to canada for xmas time only. Is he good to go? Am asking of his chances

Broda tunde, it seems you and your friends are trying your hands on a mythical "Canadian Visa Lottery". You just want to try your luck and see if it will work. Canada does not have a Visa Lottery scheme.

We've explained the requirements for account balance over and over again to you and I know that even if we tell you again you will still go ahead to do what you want.

eddycross:
I think this is it.

"Do you want to submit an application for a family member?"

THANK YOU

Yes. Godspeed.

Hi BABSFREY and everyone in the house,

I have read through almost all the pages but have been unable to find answers to my inquiry.

I am planning a holiday to Canada (on a tourist visa) with my wife and we have gathered all the required documents. We want to apply online.

However i am unable to figure out how I will apply and (most especially) upload the documents.

For instance the instruction states that

"One file will be allowed per document type. For example, if you are asked to provide multiple pages of your passport, you must scan and save all pages as one file."

"You will be required to upload every requested form and document. You will not be able to proceed to the next steps until you upload every form/document."

This is where I get confused.
* Do I make a single application for myself and indicate that my wife will accompany me?
* Do we make two separate applications? {i think not}
* Do i scan all the documents into one and apply {ie two application forms, two travel history+passports, two account statements, two employer letters, etc.. and BTW the application forms are so encrypted that you are unable to merge them successfully anyway).

Please help.

If you've already started your application then take the questionnaire again with the same profile. Indicate that your wife will accompany you. Ensure you complete the questionnaire appropriately. All relevant documents to upload will be generated including IMM5713. Print, sign and scan this document.

If you haven't started your application then use the link below:

Onaliaku:
Good day everyone, I have been reading all the comments and I must say it is quite helpful. I applied for my Mum and brother's visitor's visa on the August 31 through paper application. Paper application is very fast as, my mum collected the passports on the October 12Th, They offered my mum two years visa and refused my brother,.

Now there reasons is that 1) my brother doesn't have travel history and 2) purpose of traveling.

Here is the thing, both my mum and brother has virgin passport. This is there first visa ever. I want to rule out the travel history as a problem but the one I'm confused as anything is purpose of traveling. The same purpose I put for both.

Please can someone tell me what are they looking for?

Thanks!!!

Hi. You didn't provide enough details for the house to help you on the path of understanding what went wrong. However, that purpose of visit is ticked doesn't necessarily mean he indicated a different purpose of visit as your mum. A deeper meaning can be obtained from the GCMS notes. This will give you more insight into your brother's visa refusal.

zeus001:


Congrats bro!

Thanks zeus!
