Scan all the POF documents and merge them together, ones you done use ilovemypdf to compress it to your prefer size.

The statement in quotation marks is correct. You can use the funds in the account after printing the bank statement, as the bank can only confirm the transactions and balance up to the time you printed the statement. However, it is worth noting that IRCC can request an updated bank statement from you, the applicant if the visa officer suspects you borrowed the funds and have returned it, although it rarely happens.

** Introduce yourself
** Why you chose your course of study
** Your future goals and how it relates to your course of study
** Why did you choose the school
** Why did you choose Canada
** Your home ties
** Financial establishment

These are the few I can remember.

In all, tell your story, and be sincere with it.

I APPLIED FOR FRANCE TOURIST VISA ON THE 28TH OF MAY AND WAS ISSUED A VISA 6 MONTHS VISA TODAY.
THIS IS MY 2ND FRANCE VISA AS MY FIRST VISA WAS 10 YEARS AGO BUT I ALSO HAVE VALID CANADA, UK, CHINA AND EXPIRED US VISA

ExperimentBoi:
Tick Yes and explain why you need them with you in canada.
to be honest its not about the money in your account, I have seen people with 140m still get refused and also those with only 18m also get approved and refused.

The power of your application lies in the foundation of your SOP.
don't stop writing, continue writing until you can no longer think of what to write.
my SOP was almost 45 pages long and i got my visa in 8 days.

1. Lumpsum is dependent on the account if, in the past 6 months, there is no record of your account having such a deposit and the closing bal. is not up to that amount 600k might be considered as a lumpsum to that account.

Despite your Dad acting as a sponsor it is important to include your employment documents form your professional home ties. As for you brother, you can state it or leave it.
Note if your dad used the same acct to sponsor your brother you should declare it, i have seen a case where an applicant was refused based on that although it was in USA. And state every previous visa refusals.

I just got my second France Visa yesterday. Tell me why they gave me a 2weeks Multiple entry visa 😭😫 even though my first visa was 1month, I thought I would be getting more duration this time around.

2. ⁠introduction letter was done separately for each child with day-to-day details of itinerary
3. ⁠flight reservations, hotel bookings, bank statements and evidence of employment was submitted only for myself (the adult) since the applications are in one group so no need submitting one for each person.
4. ⁠insurance was from aiico and for 12 days duration. Cost us around 20k total for 4 of us.
5. ⁠children bellow 12 yrs don’t need to attend biometric. Just make sure you snap them passport according to the size on France website. 2 passports each child.

If I remember anything else then I’d add it. Or pls feel free to ask for any clarification.

Blessedsteph:
Passports picked up.
But there’s variation on expiry dates.
I, the mum was issued 5yrs visa while 2 of my kids were issued 3yrs visa each. But my last child who is 3yrs old was issued only 2yrs visa.
Is this normal?
I intend to write to the embassy incase it was an error.
Any input?
Meanwhile this is our second Schengen visa.
First time was 1yrs for all of us.

Mak16788:
I did normal application with 1 year insurance, but i have 10 years UK Visa and Canada Visa. I know two people that were also giving 1 year Visa on their first application but they all have 10 years UK visa.

Ikebabay:
Thank you!

Sure
- Cover letter with itinerary/reason for travel/summary of my travel history and how I intend to fund the trip
- Coloured photocopies of past visas, entry and exit stamps
- Hotel booking (booking.com with free cancellation. You need to add a card though and I added a USD card)
- Flight booking (Qatar Airways with 72 hours book and hold. I did not pay for the ticket)
- Travel Insurance from AXA Mansard (paid less than 5k for a 1 week duration)
- Account statements. I run a business so I submitted both personal and business statements. I asked the bank to print and they charged about N25 per page. One of the banks said they don't print so I had to print that myself.
- Bank reference letters stating how long I have had the account and that I am the sole signatory to the accounts. The reference letter costs roughly N600 per bank
- Coloured photocopies of business registration documents and printout of latest tax payment

Ikebabay:
Visa issued. 3 months multiple entry. 30 days per stay. I was surprised to see a French sticker. I thought it would be Netherlands.

Bobomaigida:
Any one can do GIC.

The funds must come from the applicant's account straight to the Canadian bank. Only CIBC is available for Nigerians for now.

BigshotAsola5:
Please, it is true that buying of ticket for the Olympics game in Paris is closed ?

sasho9ja:
Hello house, pls who should the cover letter for France visa application be addressed to?

donteebalo:
The applicant should just apply that he/she is going to Paris, France and leave all other trips out of his/her application, he/she should calculate the total duration on the trip and use it it book France hotel reservations and return ticket. You should leave all other trips out of the application. His-her focus should just be a TRIP TO FRANCE (if you’re applying for tourism visa o)

Blessedsteph:
This isn’t doable! Complete your form and then appointment booking will go through. They have dates for May and June so you should probably say your travel date is August which makes sense as it’s summer time.
