Yes Please.Provided you have US visa

brotundes:
I just submitted my application @leke now, hoping for God favour and his mercy upon my application

Best wishes

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

I got 17 months as a first timer in 2013

Hello House, will an account balance of 3.8 million suitable for application for Canadian tourist visa for a family of 4. Travel History includes UK, Germany and US. Response wld be appreciated

Is your US visa stil valid? If yes,say you'd be visiting canada from the US,and you'd spend max 5days.the amount you have is good enough.dont book expensive airlines,qatar is quite affordable.check booking.com for hotels,don't book expensive one.for tour packages ,check viator.com,one or two tour packages is fair enough if you are spending 5days

@brotundes, sponsorship for tourism may not be tenable to these people. They will believe that a person may go on tourism if he has his funds to spend and may also want to think someone being sponsored for tourism may not want to come back home. I stand to be corrected though.

Well said.

RedReact:
If he were a tourist, he would not need any invitation but may be asked his hotel booking and some questions about his visit.

Just provide proof of where you'd be staying.confirmed hotel booking or details of your host will suffice

manlikegb:
@misterbd Any particular reason why Niagara Falls should not be listed as one of the places to visit during Christmas? Trying to learn.

It's usually very cold during winter,and most of the tourist attractions won't be there.Best time to visit is summer,but its just my own advice

october01:
Hello House, do Canadian embassy gives visa to Tourist on hotel reservation because i was told they only give visa based on invitation especially for first time visa applicant to canada. response wld be appreciated

They do.don't let anyone mislead you

Ladies and Gentlemen of the house.

I, Jayfierce, just received an original passport request.

@shadeebee78, OmoBendel24, bigfido, irebami16, WESTERNCR

Congrats

jayfierce:
As a matter of fact people still go during winter. They dress warmly and head on out to enjoy the cold.

Lol @ Titanic. He's not going to jump into the water like Jack. He can even watch night time illumination at a safe distance.

olajay5, you can Google Niagara winter packages and see the list of things you can do. You can add it to your trip itenerary.

Lol..abi na. olajay5, you can check viator.com

jayfierce:
olajay5, there's nothing wrong in visiting Niagara Falls during winter.

A couple of side attractions won't be there but the Fall itself will be, though partially frozen.

You are right.He'd be better off mentioning other tourist attractions. He wont be able to get on the hornblower,I wont advice any one applyng for visa to list Niagara falls

olajay5:
Dear misterbd

Please why did you said one should not list Niagara Falls if one is visiting around Christmas time? Please I need this info because I plan to visit Niagara falls in December around the Xmas time. Thanks

Have you seen the movie "titanic"? You will freeze. NO ONE goes there during winter

Joe980:
Now you are talking. Thanks for the time.

You are welcome.how old are your daughters?I advice you get letter of introduction from their school,and plan your trip against when they'll be on holidays.if you are planning against Christmas,don't list Niagara Falls as part of the places you'd visit.

[quote author=suredeebee post=49593430]My case wasn't based on anybody's or hearsay. I was a victim of US and UK refusal and I got my passport stamped in nov last year at US consulate. UK also denied me but returned my passport unstamped. This happened in April this year. If you need further proofs PM me and I'll scan the stamped page to you. Pls I'll erase my names for security reasons. There's no big deal about it.

I am not doubting you,no need for pm.all the best

misterbd, bigfido, awelekiti

Time out my people. Please let's cease fire. Every information we require is available from the embassy or through their agents.

suredeebee, you appear to be a late creation meant to defend a particular standpoint. We will get the information we require from the horses mouth. Add no more fire.

No issues at all here,a family friend was rejected american visa on monday,all he got was a rejection letter.The info I gave on UK visa is based on someone who was rejected early this year,so I dont know if anything has changed.

Joe980:
You still didn't give me a range oooo.

Lol.convert the cost of your air tickets to canadian Dollars,add another thousand to it,that should be OK,since you have secured accommodation

suredeebee:
This isn't correct sir. I applied late last year for NIV and my passport was stamped. I had only visited south Africa before I tried US. Early this year, I applied for UK but was also denied , maybe because I was refused US before, dunno but they didn't stamp my passport, I was surprised. I reapplied early may to UK and was given 6 months. I'm back already to try canada against December for my annual leave. I think awele was right...He's only too detailed in his explanation. He really has time, hahaha. But all of you guys are wonderful here.

What exactly isn't correct?

Joe980:
. Departing from Nigeria, and it is 10 days visit. Accommodation is already secured.

Oh cool.all the best

Joe980:
Thanks for your response. I only needed the range to work with. Travelling with 2 daughters, hotel is out of it and air tickets aint smiling at the moment.

Are you travelling directly from Nigeria?or from the United states?...if directly from Nigeria,do the maths well o,if from the United states,write you are spending 3 ,to 4days,and book a cheap hotel. If you are travelling from Nigeria,how many days would you be spending.

Joe980:
Hello people, I want to know how much is preferred to be stated where it is required under "Details of visit in Canada'' in Question 3...''Funds available for my stay (CAD) . Thanks.

I doubt if anyone can give you the exact amount to write,but ,you can be guided.would you be staying in an hotel?cost of air ticket,are you traveling alone,there are factors to consider.

Thank you

do not be discouraged.Nothing stops you from applying for American visa.All the best

awelekiti:
Please don't be discouraged. In my opinion, you've presented the required documents to back your applications. At times when a visa is denied, the reason(s) goes beyond what's highlighted on the refusal letter which the applicant may not be privy to. Don't bother applying for USA visa at this time because it's going to be a 50-50 chance and if you're denied, US will put a refusal stamp on your passport, which may affect you when next you reapply for canada visa . Let me give give you an instance. I have an Indian business partner who's doing well in his country as a manufacturer. He's been to Canada severally. The canada visa he went to renew was valid for 10 years but was denied. Before he reapplied for this renewal, he had been to USA embassy for a NIV but was denied and his passport was stamped. By the time he received his processed passport from the CIC, he was shocked because he wa denied. The reason he was denied by CIC was TRAVEL HISTORY as highlighted on the refusal letter and he's never stayed more than 3 weeks since he's been visiting canada. He told me he guessed it was the USA stamp that caused it. He reapplied 6 months later and was granted another 10 years visa. You may reapply to UK since you've been there before if your UK visa is expired and if you're refused, they won't stamp your passport unlike USA. Canada doesn't stamp passport anymore as well, from the info I got, so UK won't notice that CIC refused you if you reapply for your UK visa. If your assets lack some vital documents like C of O, try and perfect it before reapplying. You may go to the ministry to get a letter stating that it's still being processed, if it's not ready by the time you're reapplying . Good luck next time

you do not get your passport stamped ,if you are rejected American visa,what you get is a letter.Uk on the other hand,stamps your passport. My first canadian visa was issued on the same passport that had the uk visa rejection stamp.I eventually reapplied for UK visa,and I was given 6months,after visiting UK,I applied for canadian visa ,and I was given 17months visa.

ladylco:
pls wots the validity of your passport? as in wen will your passport expire becos someone told me canada give duration based on valdity of passport

July 2020.The person might be right.
