Good afternoon house...

Please I need answers to some questions about my trv application.
I applied June through an immigration law firm based in canada.. Purpose of my visit is to visit my fiance and her family based in Canada.. We have had physical contact cos she visited I n my family here.. And we have both submitted all required documents.
My question : The visitation was planned for two months (btw July - August) , proved by my itinerary, health insurance n letter from my employer. My application is yet to be approved but I just want to know from the numerous experts here what the likely response will be since my initial was planned btw July n august... Will this application still be considered for approval even when d time I initial planned to travel is gone?

Your application will be approved if you meet the requirements regardless of your itinerary. I applied for my mum in May to come for my graduation that was on the 22nd of June. Travel date was June 10th. Visa was approved July 5th. I don't think they work with our travel dates. Students get approval after resumption date has passed. So you might just need to change your travel date. Hope you didn't buy a ticket already?

I am new here and have read quite well on the thread. I have some questions which I have tried to find possible answers to through the thread but want to be 100% sure to avoid waste of money, energy and time for a study permit when I get an admission.

Good morning my good people.. I applied online for Canada visit and am yet to get any response and it's over 100days waiting time.. so this morning I called the Vfs lagos office for advice.. I was told to mail accra.immigration@international.gc.ca... pls can with an experience in such case aprise me with a format in doing just this?.
I will be grateful if anyone can help..
Thanks and I will be waiting patiently.

At this point you can send an email to Accra. Quote your name, DOB passport number and DLI number. It makes it easier for them to track your application with your DLI number. Make sure you use the email you put on your application form.

lol. Guess I was just lucky. But my apartment had someone there already so I also spoke with the person. The landlord lives upstairs and was renting the apartment downstairs out. I responded to your pm. Am at work. Cant talk.

Where do you advice I focus my search? Ideas Pls.

Having a bad experience doesn't mean that you cant find an apartment on craigslist. You can still use craigslist especially if you are in BC. That's what most of us here use. Kijiji is also good but you wont see a lot of apartments on it. I got a place on craigslist and paid for it without seeing it. I did a video call with the landlord and he showed me around the apartment which matched what he put on craigslist. Also told him to go outside and show me the front view, I matched that against what I saw on google when I put in the address. I paid for the house a month before I started leaving there. I wont tell you I wasn't scared even when I landed in Vancouver but when you commit everything to God, he will take care of it. So my dear, you can still look on craigslist. My best advice is to start making contacts about a week before you leave. Schedule house viewing 2 days before you get in. When you get there, you can stay in a hotel for 2 days and view the houses you have seen. Trust me you can get a house a day or 2 after you land.

I have received an email from them telling her that she can submit at the VFS London office. If you have proof of travel plans made, you can send an email.

Finally got my tickets to Winnipeg
Royal Air Maroc

Lagos to Casablanca (royal air Maroc)

Casablanca to Montreal(royal air Maroc)

Montréal to Winnipeg (Air Canada)

Now my question is

Where do I get my study permit?
Do I have to get my luggage at Montreal and check it into air Canada?

AGAIN WHICH IS MY POINT OF ENTRY WHERE I GET MY STUDY PERMIT MONTREAL OR WINNIPEG?

CC:mesh2003 derel Austinpee4 dogice Salford1

You will get your study permit when you get to Montreal. Your air Canada flight is a local flight. You will get your luggage in Montreal and proceed to Air Canada check in counter. You will pay for your luggage too so change some money at the airport. Your POE is Montreal and you will get your study permit there. I don't know how the airport is. I landed in Pearson, Toronto with Turkish airline and I got my SIN number the same day once you have the Canadian address you will be staying at. Then I proceeded to air Canada check in counter. I paid $25 for the 1st luggage and $35 for the 2nd. Its a good period to come into Canada unlike during winter.

Yes I am in London on a visiting visa. I will update the house as event unfolds, good or bad. Thank you.

This will be dicey if you are on a visiting visa. You have to show why you are not able to apply from your own country. A reason might be that you are not going to Nigeria within 3 months but that will raise questions if you are working. My mums visiting visa was approved after she had left Nigeria for London. The VFS office didn't take her passport for stamping without a letter from Accra immigration authorizing them to stamp her passport. I got an authorization from them after sending an email with her UK visa, entry and exit stamps and flight ticket to show that she will be flying to Canada from the UK without visiting Nigeria. So be careful.

Hello mesh2003,

pls i found it difficult to link my paper application after i followed the steps below. However, there is no field for marital status. Unable to submit because of CITY AND COUNRTY OF BIRTH was not filled"(8.) Next in applicant personal info panel fill Passport information only and DO NOT FILL CITY AND COUNTRY OF BIRTH. " is visitors visa(outside Canada) same as Visitors record. There is also field for Passport issue date, expire date, date of arrival in canada, date of leaving canada and amount avail to travel $

Pls there anything am not doing right?

if its not allowing you to submit then, fill in the city and country of birth. Visitors visa(outside) Canada means you are applying from outside Canada. I don't think they are the same.

Hello, I also applied May 8, 2017. I filled a CSE form yesterday and I'm seriously hoping I get a reply soon.
I need my passport for something else by end of next week. Is there anyone who applied the same day as I did? Any luck?

I applied for my mum May 9th online. Was approved last week July 5th. I think email is the best way to communicate with them. I never got a response till date when I sent the CSE form. I sent them an email and they told me they would send me a passport request letter the next day and they did.

Please i need clarification on this online TRV application.

I am resident in Canada as PR holder and wants to invite my mom to spend some months with me,she is retired and a widow and by that i supplied all she needs for her application all document listed on cic checklist and sent them all to my younger brother back in Nigeria who is to make the online application.

The application was submitted online yesterday and i asked him to forward me the document to keep in my record..but suprisngly going tru i noticed he made grave mistakes in..my invitation letter has duration of her stay as sept to feb but the flight booking has sept to march..and in the application form he had oct to jan..i am so pissed..

apart from this all other things were ok...do i cancel this application and ask for refund and fill out and submit another or is there a way to get across to the cic to explain?
thanks

I don't know anything about cancelling an application. Travel dates don't really affect applications. If everything is correct, they wont deny the visa because of mixed up dates. You can always send an email to them quoting the ULI number and clarify it. I advice people to put between 2-3 weeks on a visiting visa application. When she gets here, she can stay for 6 months. Have you heard of the super visa for parents since you have PR? She will get 10 years visa and can stay 2 years in row. The processing time is longer though. Next time do it yourself. I applied for my mum in May. did everything from here. Got approved the other day. I just put 2 weeks but she will stay 2 months. If the person stays longer, the onus is on you to provide for her . Also anything more than 3 months requires travel health insurance.

Thanks to vvvvv for the flight info support. House, I need more information on best flight options and reviews.

One that won't warrant breaking a bank and also cool. I am aware of Ethiopia, Egypt and Turkish. Please share your recent experience with any of it or another of such. Need to book flight asap.

A friend of mine used Egypt air to Toronto, he said ok flight. I used Turkish airline; excellent service. I heard Ethiopia is the best amongst the cheap airlines. Turkish airline is not cheap though but less than klm and the rest of them.

Thanks ladylco for responding. Pls do you know anyone who has applied from the US ? If yes,how was the process. Thanks.

You can apply for visa from anywhere in the world but the problem is always your immigration status in the country you are applying from and I also heard someone was denied based on the embassy not being able to verify documents on time since he was not applying from his home country. I know a couple of people that tried it and it worked. They had to write really convincing letter of explanation as to why they were applying from a country other than their country of residence. Its the same process and even faster.
I will try it for my mum when she gets. She will apply for her US visa from Canada. I think it will be easier since she has to be interviewed. She will be able to explain why she is applying from Canada and not Nigeria.

Hi everyone,

sorry to hear about your refusal. I think this is just a funny one and a crazy VO that handled your file. I invited my sister 2 years ago as a student. I mentioned on the invitation letter that I would only provide her with accommodation. I didn't put anything even proof of address. I just sent her my study permit copy and passport page.
I invited my mum in May, Because I mentioned that I would provide her with accommodation and feeding for her one month stay in Canada, I put my one month pay stub. No bank statement.
I think you should have provided at least paystub from your host. My advice is that you reapply asap as your refusal reason is minor and include his/her paystub or bank statement.

@MESH2003 AND JAWA,
Few questions about ONLINE APPLICATION SUBMISSION-
1. DO I NEED TO SCAN AND UPLOAD ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS DURING THE APPLICATION.
2. DOES IT MATTER THE NUMBER OF PAGES, LIKE THE BANK STATEMENTS, LANDED PROPS, LEASE AGREEMENT, MARRIAGE CERT, SHARE DOCS, OFFICE LETTER, SOP AND THE LIKES.
3. IS THERE A ROOM FOR LATER DATE UPLOAD?
4. DO I ALSO PAY FOR BIOMETRICS OR THAT WILL BE LATER AT VAC.
5. DO I ALSO SCAN AND UPLOAD OTHER "IMM" DOCS SAME TIME?

Thanks for the speedy response as usual...

Hmmmm!!! @MESH2003... you know you are now my e-friend, hope you won't leave us to our fate now that our prayers have been granted. I do draw from the abundance of your Canada visit wisdom. Thanks and God bless us all.

1 & 2- yes you need to scan and upload all supporting documents. I know there is a space limit but am not sure. some people know how to reduce the size after saving it on pdf. google is your friend. I think @jawa will know.
3. there is room for later upload if and when they request for additional documents. When my mum received her UK visa, I scanned it and sent through email and CSE form to them as added travel history which they acknowledged they received.
4. if you are doing online, you have to pay for biometrics fee online immediately before you can get a confirmation of submission letter.
5. you don't need to scan your "IMM" forms. Download them, fill them on your laptop, validate the main visa application form and upload. I filled 2 forms for my mum, the TRV form and family form. the family form doesn't need to be signed orvalidated. Just fill and upload.
