Hello,
please Can one process a Canadian visa when on a tourist visa in the US?

kunlewoye:
My oga na so o... Perhaps by April I go start dey make plans . Thanks.

Meanwhile, my passport expires in June and my bro was saying something along the lines of airlines not allowing you on board if your passport's validity is less than 6months, I'm also making my Canada application now and they usually give you a visa to cover the validity of your passport. What should I do in this case as I don't want them to give me visa that's only valid for a few months. Any thoughts? Is it possible to have another passport now, even though the current passport still has a few months left to run?

A personal support worker is someone that helps people
Wen it comes to aging
Like a rich man that has stroke and can't walk again
Just like kids in Modupe cOle and our old adults in the old peoples home at yaba
It's a course to learn on how to be a caregiver
In terms of taking care of people who can't help themselves again
Nurses are not caregivers but they work together lets say wen they need medical attention
So pls help me all to view it

HELLO and HAPPY NEW YEAR
Please i earn about 1m monthly as salary paid to my account and have multiple UK and US visa salaries. Denied schengen in 2009 by swiss because i didn't include ticket.

Anyway i need to apply for french schengen tourist visa and would like to know my chances. Must my account have enough money despite records of monthly inflow to cover the trip. I have roughly about 600k now in the account.

Bro... you are very lucky, that's all. Especially on presenting one month statement of account. That's enough to deny because they can say you intentionally started running the account for that month when you already know that you will use it to apply for visa. Congrats. You are so lucky .. All the best.

Hello House, your advice and expert opinion is needed.
I intend traveling to the UK with our child early next year to visit my husband (British citizen). Our child was born in Lagos and we applied for and got his British passport here in Lagos.
I've been working in the same company for 10years now (even before i got married) and the salary was just reviewed in September, to 210k after tax,but i'm currently paying off a loan of 50,000 naira. (brings it to 160k). I receive 5,000 naira monthly as balance from phone credit top-up (so,rather than top up with 15,000.the company tops up my phone with 10,000 and credits my account with the remaining 5,000 balance and it's not included in payslip). Periodically, i also receive bonus and also just received my 13th month salary. My monthly expenses is 50,000 naira except on occasions where i've had to carry out some projects.
My husband sends money via western union monthly too and this varies depending on expenses and what not(could be as low as 51,000 and as high as 300,000 naira , 3 times in a month).
I intend sponsoring the trip and my husband will be providing the accommodation alone.
I intend submitting my salary account for the application. These are the documents I'm thinking of submitting:

1. Employment Letter
2. Letter of Introduction From My boss stating how long I've been working,my role,that my leave has been approved and i'm to resume after.
3. 6months salary account bank statement/Covering letter
4. 6 months pay slip
5. Tax Card
6. Pensions Account Statement/Covering Letter
7. Shares Certificate
8. Land Documents
9. Utility Bill
10. Marriage Certificate/Evidence of Change of Name
11. Evidence of Additional source of Income (Western Union)
12. Wedding & Family Pictures

For Our Child
1. Birth Certificate
2. British Passport Bio-data
3. School 1st Term Results
4. Pictures of Son in School
5. Letter of Acknowledgement/confirmation from School Head.

From My Husband
1. British Passport Bio-data
2. Letter of Invitation and Consent
3. Employment Letter
4. 6 months Salary Account Statement
5. 6 months Pay slip
6. Tenancy Agreement
7. Utility Bill

Now, my questions are:
A) When filling the budget breakdown such as ,'what is the cost of the trip to me personally as well as total cost'.. do i include the cost of flight and feeding for my son? Since he's visiting with me. But he doesn't need a visa.
B) Since i'm including feeding as part of my budget, do i still need to submit my husband's statement of account? (It's not bouyant as he just returned from nigeria)
C) How much do you think is feasibile for feeding for a mom and child for 2weeks. I was budgeting 135 pounds.
D) Do i really need to add shopping?
E) When asked if the purpose of travel is to visit the person i'll be staying with,the answer is YES, right? since the primary purpose isnt sight seeing.
F) What the ties i can use to show that i will definately come back to nigeria since technically,my family members are my husband and son asides parents and inlaws in nigeria.

I'll be having 750,000 in the account i'm presenting and the budget is

Flight - 384,056 (Son and I)
Feeding & Misc - 80,000 (Son and I)

G) Can you please assist with what i've listed so far.
Thank you.

ladylco:
Same with someone I know, he submitted on 18/11/16 too yet no response till now

jayfierce:
I didn't do a budget breakdown because i felt the money available for my trip was more than sufficient to cover for the activities listed.

Dear all,

You guys have being doing wonderful job here. I say thank you for helping one another.

I have being following this topic for some time now but this is my first time of posting a comment. My family was recently denied a Canadian visa. Reasons for refusal is "purpose of travel and travel history". Following the advice on this forum, I applied for the GCMS note and got it today. Surprisingly, the GCMS note of 24 pages pdf file that contains more of their internal codes. The main point for refusal was not still clear as the VO simply stated that
"Based on a review of the application and supporting documents and after considering the purpose of travel, travel history, financial status (earnings/savings), family ties both in Canada and homeland and the overall establishment of the applicant, I am not satisfied that the applicant is sufficiently established so as to motivate a timely departure. Refused."

About my application: I work in a bank at a middle management level. These are some of the documents submitted

* Application form
* Old passport containing used visas to UK, Dubai, France
* Current passport with valid but yet to be used US visa (the plan is to combine the trip to US and Canada)
* Hotel booking using booking.com
* Flight booking
* Employment letter dated back to 2007
* Promotion letters
* Letter of introduction from my employer indicating leave period and leave entitlement of about N2.8m
* Medical Insurance ID Card from HMO.
* Lagos State Tax clearance card
* Pension fund statement from IBTC
* Life Assurance letter from IGI
* Education support insurance for my kids from Mutual Benefit Insurance
* Statement of investments for my kids
* Mortgage letter (I took a mortgage from my bank to buy a property in Lekki). All mortgage documents included.
* Documents for landed property in Ikorodu and Ajah
* 6 months payslip
* Photocopy of staff ID Card.
* Bank statement of salary account and investment accounts worth more than N6m
* Letter of introduction from my kids' school
* However, I did not include travel itinerary but stated places we wanted to visit in the SOP letter.

Honestly, I am surprised at their refusal because I have never been refused a visa before. One thing that is very clear from the GCMS note is that they share data with the US.

Just decided to share the story of my application. I hope to reapply again when I come back from the US.

Since you have a US visa, why dont you apply from USA.

dame134:
Bros yours came out early ooooo.... did you use fast track? I submitted mine in Lagos on the 18th of November and still no message from them indicating that my Visa is ready.

awelekiti:
You're welcome. Please remain positive. I met with a senior Nurse at SPDC last week, after I learnt from her colleague covering for her that she's back from Canada on her annual leave. She told all of us in her office something shocking. Her husband is a medic in canada. She earns good salary with other impressive packages that suit her rank with strong home ties including 2 buildings with CofO in good locations (at least, I know one of the buildings when her first born, a daughter was getting married) but despite her status, she was refused 2 times by CIC, citing 'purpose of visit' , not funny at all. This woman had been to the UK and USA 2 times each, before applying to canada the first time. Her visa was approved on the 3rd attempt,multiple entry visa with validity of 4 years and 10 months on a renewed passport. Amazingly, she said she didn't change the documents she's been submitting alongside her applications from day one, imagine!

travelpoint:
I submitted US bank statement

justwise:
Dude you are just make allegations on something we know very little about, the ECO might have carried out their own investigation about the business before stating that the business is not hers. We don't know the whole story neither do we know what she submitted but you keep going on about how they refuse people visa falsely.

The U.K. Referendum of EU was not because they were asked to take some refugees ask you falsely stated before. The referendum issue was an election promise far before the refugees crisis.

The U.K. Economy is not in crisis again as you wrongly pointed out.

Nobody is attacking you but avoid misleading people even when the fact is everywhere.

askari01:
Phardey... you have done the needful, Let your mum reapply as you have said she's going for her appointment today. Be informed that the BDHC would do all verifications... They might even send delegates to the CAC headquaters for clarification, so If your documents are genuine, Congratulation and if Not, it's gonna be very bad. I wish ur mum good luck!!!.

sacredhearts:
Your gettin one year visa via online application is inline with the info available to me. I would really like someone who personally got more than 6months visa as a first timer via paper route to affirm otherwise though because I dont really believe in hearsay

misterbd:
I got 17 months as a first timer in 2013

Divfav:
Pls I wil be glad to have the report. Also sorry for requesting late. Ajisomo19@yahoo.com
Thanks with a deep sense of respect.

Good evening House,
I resides in the UK, In November 2014, my wife applied for a settlement visa to come and join me in the UK at the time of the application, I was very convinced that we met all the immigration requirement because I took my time to make sure all the neccessary supporting evidences were enclosed as we have had 3 applications refused previously in 2011 (visitor visa), 2012 (Settlement visa) and 2013 (Visitor visa) for my graduation, this was just some month after our wedding which took in Nigeria. I know people will be wondering why we applied for a visitor visa but the reason was because I just graduated and was not earning up to £18600 (Minimum Income threshold). But I was surprised and when the application was refused and my wife 2 international passport was retained, One is cancelled and a valid one. It is worth noting that prior to the application in 2011, she had already applied for a UK visa which was refused but that has no connection with me at all and as you are all aware in the UK visa application form they do ask for the where about of old passport but she said to me that the passport is lost, so in all the other applications that were made from the aforementioned year (2011) we let the British high commission know that the passport is lost.

What's more, the reasons for refusal are as follow;

(1)RETENTION OF NIGERIAN PASSPORT NO A05******/A02*****

The passport that you were intending to travel with, as detailed above, has been retained as we are not satisfied that the document satisfactorily establishes your identity and nationality, in view of the fact that you have previously applied for a UK visa using a different date of birth. Enquiries will be undertaken at this office and the document will be forwarded as soon as practically possible to the Nigerian Immigration Service in Abuja. The Nigerian Immigration Service will decide whether further action is required. In these cases, enquiries should be addressed to the address below:


Comptroller General, NIS
Document Fraud Unit
Nigerian Immigration Service HQ
ABUJA

Yours sincerely

Entry Clearance Manager
UK Visas and Immigration

(2) "The applicant did not provide a letter from her sponsor's employer with her application which confirms the sponsor's employment status and salary. With this application a letter dated 24 September 2014 has been submitted. This carries the letter head of XYZABC123 (my employer) but appears to be a photocopy. The letter carries the writer's name "Miss xxxxx Bleep" But has no signature. Consequently no employment letter is considered to have been provided. The applicant has therefore not provided the document required by Appendix FM-SE paragraph 2 (b).

FactsThe first reason for refusal was not true because my wife said she never use any other date of birth except real date of birth. And this fact was

confirmed when will appeal and during review Entry Clearance Manager withdrew the first refusal but the problem now is that, The British high commission said to us that they have send my wife passport to the Nigeria immigration service in Abuja but she lives in Lagos that will should contact them.
The advice i'm seeking now is that since they have admitted that the mistake was from their, are they not suppose to be the one to retrieve my wife passport from the Nigeria Immigration service since they send it to them.

Please I need urgent advice and God bless

Best Regards,

Jimmy12


Please were you able to retrieve your wife's passport? how did you go about it.

davodyguy:
Yes and No

I received an email from Japan on why they've refused to give Nigerians visa.

They said many Nigerians do abscond in Japan after entering the country.

I was given mine within 3 days
