Please, what are the documents needed for a conference visa? An agent said one needs N3.5m.

puffmama:
They require at least 4 months .( I saw that when I wanted to apply last week ).
I would suggest you use your new salary account so that it shows you have a current job and a regular incomes comes into it.
Move all your funds into the salary acct and begin to count afresh for 4 months to avoid any lump sump .
However if you feel you can't wait, you must have a justifiable reasons for the lump sum and explain in your LOE.

Hello,

Please I need your advise on my pof for visitor visa on the new ircc portal. I have the following options but need to know which is best for my application;

I have my gtb salary account acct that I have been using for years with closing balance of about 1.6m with lots of inflows and outflows.

I have a zenith bank salary account just opened for all staff by my employer 2 months ago. And what I have been doing is to transfer my salary paid into it to my gtb account above once paid.

I also have a mutual fund investment account with Stanbic but have moved all the funds from it to my gtb acct as the interests isn't so encouraging like many years back.

I have the opportunity of getting some funds about #5m from my friend Inviting me to Canada and I'm confused on which of these accounts to recieve the money into and use as my pof. She is a PR with a full time job over there.

I am aware they require at least 6 months bank statements and don't want to be rejected due to lump sum paid recently into my account.

In the area of documents for the new portal, is it OK to attach documents that doesn't relate to the section you are attaching it to as a way to attach more documents?

My documents are enormous and I have used compressed them to the lowest point, but they are still more than 2mb. I see a part where they asked for employment letter, can I attach some of my documents there?

Obnoxious2001:
is very okay.
you are already oversized already.
you can decide to use am mppt (if funds permit) or a PWM controller.

Abercrome:
My bank reference letter (POF) was also from Stanbic Asset Mgt. I didn’t put statement with my own but it doesn’t hurt to include it. In my case, what I did was to include an LOE showing a table of sources of funds with supporting attachments.

So my point is go ahead and use Stanbic AM but include an LOE stating that the financial institution doesn’t show average balance on their reference letter and so you’ve attached your statement of deposit as an addendum to aid the officer’s assessment.

Emmafe:
You’ll need to attach your own statement to show you’re doing well in your home country. Else VO will think you’re not financially stable n won’t return.

Obnoxious2001:
What is the size of your battery

Obnoxious2001:
Yes it's very ideal.

If you are starting out on this solar system journey, oversizing your panel has massive advantage.
1. Your batteries charge faster
2. You run your load on the energy from your panel.
3. Battery life is improved.

The 350w panel can provide sufficient power to run the 100w load in the day time.


Lithium battery is the best in the market, but na money kill am. .

Hello,

Follow the process as highlighted on the IRCC portal. I will assume they are coming purposely to visit you, so their visa application will be under the category of a family visit. And as you are a temporary resident in Canada, you will need to present the following documents:

Letter of invitation - A letter written by you to your parents. Details of expected info are below:
Travel History - A clear copy of 1 or more of the following: Your parent's previous passports and/or visas (used within the last 10 years to travel outside Nigeria), Entry and exit stamps, Study and/or work permits that indicate their duration outside Nigeria, Expired or Valid visas.
Itinerary - Copies of any of the following: flight details and hotel reservations - Very Important.
Account statement of your parents - I want to believe that your dad will be the main applicant and mum will be his spouse, Bank name and contact of his account (Just give MBS for this), Proof it is their account - Their name and address on the statement show that the account is theirs, Account details - At least 6 months of account details, including balances, helps IRCC understand their financial situation.
Employer information - If dad and/or mum still working, A letter from his/her employer can confirm that they have a stable job and will return to it. It can also show that his/her employer supports his/her visit to Canada. The letter should be printed on his/her employer’s official letterhead.
A clear color copy of his & her valid passport or travel document that he/she'll use to travel to Canada.
A completed IMM 5476- Use of a representative (IMM 5476)form - I believe you will be the one that will apply on behalf of the applicant. You need to complete this form.
A completed IMM 5645 form - This is where you will specify that his spouse, your mum will be accompanying him.

You need to scan all the pages of the passports both current and expired and join them together to attach them to the section. Also, please, let them show the financial capacity to take care of their trip themselves even if you are the one planning to house them. Tie to the home country is key, show more interest on the letter for them to come back home to. There is a section for additional document, this is where the letter of explanation will come in and if there are property documents/ business occupying their attention back home, you want to put them there together. Make sure the main applicant is any one of them that has a higher range in terms of finance/travel experience. Then your mum will be his accompanying spouse. Your letter of explanation should also be detailed and clear with purpose of visit detailed.

Alternatively is for them to visit as a tourist, on this, you do not need to issue any letter of invitation. Here, travel history, itinerary, account statement, passport, Filled use of a representative (IMM 5476) form, Authority to release personal information to a designated individual (IMM 5475) form and completed Family information (IMM 5645) will suffice.

The guru's in the house can add what I might've missed.

Good luck!

AskGod07:
Don’t bother yourself for conference letter, try and book hotel and go as a tourist

Ibkgold1212:
yes.

Newbiein2016:
For hotels, I like booking.com (you can filter to see only hotels with free cancellation). You can also use hotels.com, expedia.

For flights, I use wakanow.com (note that they cancel unpaid bookings usually after 48hrs but the goal for me is to only show the flight itinerary, so it works for me). Alternatively, you can try any of the airlines' websites - I know Qatar, AF/KLM have the book on hold options.

PS: Never pay for confirmed tickets or hotels without a visa. My advise above is only to allow you submit travel itinerary.

ejanla10:
Hi is it possible to enter Canada with a visitor visa for a conference but the conference has ended and I was giving visa and what can I do to extend my stay in Canada please I need your advice

Newbiein2016:
Could you add latest transcripts as well if available as the goal is to point out that these kids have to return to complete school.

Anything that can prove your ties needs to be added e.g. I recall a friend who was the chair of their 'ajo' meeting of 35 persons included a signed statement regarding their end of year party to drive home her own ties. She also had the church send a stamped letter as part of some festive events she was leading (and as a bona-fide and active church member). I thought it was funny but after thinking it through, it made sense.

Point being, Canada is quite finicky with tourist visas and they'll always err on the side of caution if they have any concern, whatever you think will help, include it.

Re: flight and hotel, I always include those in visa applications as I don’t see anything wrong here. I go for book on hold and/or options with free cancellation. Never pay for any of these without a confirmed visa.

Lyoncrescent:
I submitted my Payslip as additional document. I submitted a letter from my organisation stating they will pay for the entire trip. I also submitted a letter of invitation sent by the organisation in Canada. Also submitted soft copy of my NIN. That's all I submitted. I did not attach my bank statement. I did not attach any property documents.

However the copy of the letter of invitation I submitted was sent to the Canadian high commission in Nigeria by the organisation in canada before I made the application. All the best.

Sundayolayemi:
Good day Guys,


Please I have a very important question.
I got a visiting Visa and also I got a 3 days Conference booked.

Now the issue is I'm about to book my 2 way ticket,
The return date, with it be immediately after the conference? Reason for this question is that I have plans to stay and have some fun and experience after the conference, so should the return date be 4 months after entering? And if so, hope it won't cause an issue at the POE.

And If you have a better way I can go about this, I'll appreciate.Thank you very much.

zeb04:
MY VISA IS OUT.

8 months of waiting, 8 months since i got my offer letter. 8 months of waiting, 8 months of praying, 8 months of fear that my employer will be tired of the wait.

Finally!! Finally! Thank you Jesus. All the glory to you

documents, affidavit,registryfee pictures and some other fees,a little over 100k for both of us. Cant remember exact fee for the documents tho.

shakol91:
Please I need first-hand information about Ikoyi registry. I have gone through their website and had a chat with support recently, everything seems easy but some people have advised me not to believe what the support said about the cost on their website. My friend said it's better to register through someone working there and pay more rather than online registration. While the information on the website says 15k for registration and 6.5k for photographs which makes everything altogether 21.5k, I will like to know if it's possible to register online in February and get date around middle of March. I will be grateful if anyone can share his own experience about the regsitartion and the cost of marriage certificate. Thanks

Makibarbie:
