Good evening sir, please can you advise me on how to go about applying for a Canada visit visa. I'm a single employed mother working with a tight budget, can I apply using my company's account for POF? olasubomy: Hello Kossyfelicia,
Application to Canada for visit/tourism is 100% online (except in cases of disability allowance is given to apply on paper) via the IRCC portal However, the biometrics collection exercise would be done physically (in-person):
A. Open the below link and answer the questionnaire, this would lead you to the portal to create your account:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/apply-visitor-visa.html
B. Once you create your account and able to login, start answering the questionnaire. Your application starts building up as you answer those questions. You would get to understand it along the way becuase it is seamless. Payment is also done online at the point you want to submit your application.
C. Let your application show more ties to your home country such that it is convincing, you will return home. The idea is your ties to your home country should be stronger than that of Canada to convince the officer you will come back.
D. The shorter the period of stay declared, the more easier to demonstrate proof of funds.
E. Being a business person, you can submit copies of your: 1. Incorporation documents 2. Evidence of last tax returns filed or evidence of tax compliance. F, Finally, think of questions like, who will oversee your business in your absence? , Domestic responsibiites like family, assets, investment that require your presence? Do you hold any key role back home? speak to them.
All the best. |
