Update:

Received an email with a letter confirming validity of Biometrics for the next 10years.
Visa office is Kenya.
Any thing I should be prepared or worried about at this stage?... Does it mean that processing has commenced on the application?

Your tips will help me a lot right now.

Thanks

The decision is coming in the next few days.

I have had the opportunity to engage in this same conversation with few bankers and bank managers, irrespective of the sign disclaimer, verifying the sitting balance is somewhat rare.

Also, different banks with different policy of compliance of sharing certain info.

One thing i know for such is that a BS verification process isn't necessarily manadated to be the sitting closing balance. The transactional histories and the generating source is majorly the focus.

This is an observation i have personal observed with quite a number of applicants, but still i won't be so certain because i am only speaking from my own angle of closed observations.

I have a friend who applied for express entry. After ITA scaling through other checks and waiting for PPR, he liquidated his fixed investment and transfered the funds to the USA for onward movement to Canada.

CIC sent him additional document request. They requested for new proof of funds as they could no longer find the money. He then sent new statements and he got PPR.

There's a way embassies can code their request that won't violate the disclosure to third party policy. I also believe you waived that right to privacy as regards your bank balance when you applied for the visa and stated that you have a certain amount of money for your trip.

Update. Wife's CIC account was updated today September 12, 2019 Approved.

Counterfoil document number now available on the portal.

Her visa expires one day before her passport expires.

Congrats. This means the application wasn't fully approved when you got the passport request in august.

Ozzz:
Hi guys please in signing the "Family information" imm5645e form (printed to be scanned and uploaded) is it real signature required or just to fill in "full name of applicant" alongside date?

No signing. Just filling and uploading. You can put your name and date. At the end of the application you would be required to attest that all the information you provided is correct.

suremum:
Thanks for your reply. The “ hmmm” is scary though�

It is normal to get BVL before decision. Sometimes they come almost simultaneously.

Note that the time between the BVL and the final decision has no correlation with approval or refusal.

Ozzz:
Somebody help

No. NYSC is NOT qualified to be there.

Hi guys, my cousin who is a Canadian citizen invited me and my mum to his wedding, so I’m asking since he is willing to foot our bills, do we need to show proof of funds? And what documents do I need to submit for my mum, she’s a business woman, her business isn’t registered with CAC yet, apart from her marriage certificate, what other documents does she need to provide.
Another question is can we do biometric same day we submitted because we are coming from outside Lagos, and is online application same as paper route? Please how do I go about the online route if we decide to use it?

If you have proof of funds then you can show it in addition to the funds your cousin is supporting you with. You can submit account statements, business legders, etc.

Hello Guys do you need enough proof of funds before you apply for canda tourist Visa and if that is the case how much do you think needs to be budgetted..

You should show enough funds to cover your budget. Your budget depends on what you want to do in Canada. Use Google to search out activities in the particular area you want to visit.

sisihardey:
Pls what if its online application?

After submitting online, you will get a biometric instruction letter in your CIC account between 24hrs to a few days. You will have 30 days to submit your biometrics.

My Gcms notes isn't showing reasons for refusal. I don't understand

That's weird.

granmurdafucker:
Yea, I will go with third party website, you have idea how much it will cost?? Please share with me. I know the first option is 5canadian dollars

Don't know much about the cost. I guess it depends on the website.

granmurdafucker:
I thought as much! Alright thanks bunch. also, @Nothingdome please is there a format for writing when applying for GCMS? If yes kindly guide me on it..

You need a PR or citizen to help you get the gcms. Or you can use a third party website to get the gcms.

@Bahdmahnspin, get your passport back from that agent. Do not agree to anything he says. Dont allow him process any application for you. He may use fake documents to process your application. Even use your passport to commit crime. I dey fear agents oh.

granmurdafucker:
Ohhh really, means I don't need to apply for GCMS yet till I get refusal letter right?? Yea, thanks for your cheerful words! Also, @Nothingdome which email address exactly will i contact them on ?

You can go ahead and apply for the GCMS. The email address and instructions are on your the slip they gave to you. You can copy nairobi@international.gc.ca; nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca

granmurdafucker:
Yup the final whistle has been blown I & my daughter was refused visa, I picked up my passport from VFS today my little concern is, I wasn't given reason for Refusal, like generic Reasons people shared here before applying for GCMS for clarification. All I got with my passport back was a slip saying if email is not correct kindly mail us @bla bla bla please any clue about the slip will be appreciated house.. Also my application was paper route! Best of luck to others expecting good news on their visa. PS, I submitted as many documents stated here on regular bases! Marriage and every other detailed supporting documents. Alhamudiillah

I understand that the mail with the reasons for refusal comes later on. You can send them a mail if it doesn't come after a week. Sorry for the refusal.

A lot of Nigerian women are guilty of molestation. They are predators of the highest class.

I can’t imagine how traumatized the young lad will be, she has her own husband why can’t you just violate your husband abi visit the nearest adult toys shop and get a vibrator then do your thang

blackangel0403:
Thanks

The guy sees her as just someone to produce kids. Being that he met her in the club he expected her to have loose morals and be willing to take in for him. The marriage offer is just to get what he wants. I am sure he must have tried to get her pregnant before offering marriage.

tolugar:
My dear op.

That guy has no intentions of taking her to UK.

Na baby mama things he is looking for. Once he takes in and the dowery is paid then voooooommmmm

From one story to another.

Pls don’t push your sis. She know what she is doing. Once she gets to UK she can take in.

Either the guy take it or leave it.

He is looking for naija wife.


it or leave it.
Maybe guy man is looking for naija wife.

Correct.

My fiancé’s sister is a Canadian citizen while his mum is a permanent resident (changed while she went to visit ) but in all of this I never mentioned my fiancé’s name /family details or links to him in my application as we aren’t yet married officially. I only advised that I was getting married in Nov

It's not hard to connect people in these modern times. Hotel booking, wedding invites, bank statements.......etc. The Canadians are ready good at connecting the dots. It is well.

Wish you a happy married life.

Day 73 - Finally got an update
QTE
I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.
UNQTE

Gave a detailed LOE showing a day to day itinerary breakdown, even purchased Tourist reservation(Toronto City Pass) worth $72.73 , Hotel reservation and flight reservation all in good order. The honest truth is i legit wanted to go for vacation purposes only so i'm irked.

First Application was rejected due to Family ties ,Second Application rejected due to Purpose of visit , I'm officially done with Canada, will focus on my US visa renewal only going forward

Many Thanks for all your help

Sorry bibi. Did any of your fiance's family change status from temporary to permanent residence while in Canada? This could impact negatively on both your applications if your ties are not strong enough to outweigh that possibility:

"Applicant's incentives to remain in Canada may outweigh their ties to their home country"

pufframmy:
Application Denied 2nd Application fed-up already

Sorry pufframmy. DId you get GCMS for the first application?

IamR:
My brother got second refusal too.

Reasons for first refusal:

Travel history
Purpose of visit

Reasons for second refusal:

Travel history: he has only being to east African countries.

Purpose of visit: the conference was postponed till next year. We are not sure if the consular knew that the conference would be postponed during the visa processing. The conference organizers sent a letter to him that the conference has been postponed a week after visa refusal.

Finance: he submitted statement of account of 10 million naira and treasury bills certificate of 25 million naira.

Asset: he submitted 8 landed properties worth 80 million naira.

What does he do? Did the conference align with his current occupation?

Rilwayne001:
It was a terrible mistake. I should have simply observed and even should have campaigned for Fela Durotoye or Morghalu.

Buhari obviously is a terrible mistake. Obviously.

Make una forgive me

Ipob should please stay away from here though.

You've not told us the reason why Buhari is a terrible mistake.

That's rubbish. NO ONE should attend. Not even non-governmental individuals. That's a move I support instead of looting Nigerian owned businesses in the name of revenge.

Rubbish comment from an illiterate. So people here should die too abi?

Lol. How can you eat your cake and still expect to have it? The actions of the South Africans must have consequences. It is for bubu to decide his choice of poison.

Terrible.

I am worried at the way this issue is escalating. It wont do anyone any good.

Why is no one talking about boycotting Big brother Nigeria?

gimakon:
