Hello house, I am applying for a VV for a retreat. Do I need to book a refundable flight ticket, what documents do I upload and which one should be submitted directly to IRCC, Does my sponsor need to contact IRCC for anything in regards to my application and what airline should I book ahead with since I don't have a US visa and what documents are worth sending directly to IRCC or VFS (if any) for visit visa

Here's some of the things i intend to submit:
BANK STATEMENT
BUSINESS CAC
Landed properties.
Father landed property
Invoices
Letter for purpose 
professional certifications
Explanation of my Finances with subheadings explaining , introduction,assets and investments,employment details, personal business.
stamped page on passport for previous travels
Screenshot of sponsor website along with their letters of invitation
Bookings of the hotels we'll be staying
CV
Current lease agreement for where.I currently live


Thanks in advance
You dnt need to book anyticket and if you qualify for visa then you will get it and document you listed is good enough but still the visa officer is the ultimate decision maker .good luck

Congratulations Canada 🇨🇦 👏
Congratulations to the winner of the election. I hope they fix the economy, unemployment, and high cost of living, because many people in Canada are struggling to find decent jobs and are stuck in survival work long-term!

How am I deceiving him? All I said was that IRCC will issue a visa if they think the man is eligible. We all know that the refusal rate is high, but some lucky folks are still getting it, even those with zero travel history.

I helped my sister and her daughter apply in November. Their visas were approved in February. Her only travel history was Ghana.

Her itinerary was February 10 to 19. Going on vacation with her child.

Booked 2 hotels to spend 5 nights in Toronto and 4 nights in Montreal.

Her account balance then was 7.3 million naira and $2200 in a domiciliary account.
Mr. Visa Agent, you're always coming up with the same cock and bull story about applying for a family member for over three years. It's the same recycled tale of a "successful" application for some elderly relative, and some gullible readers still fall for it.
To those who have already been refused,go ahead and contact him if you like, but know this: there's no magic involved, and you're likely to be refused again. Please be smart and save your money..

The boss is deceiving you as ircc go turn ur application money to revenue generation becos the era of using conference or tourist visit visa with zero travel experience to get canada visa approval is over and no let any agent deceive u the refusal rate is massive!

I am traveling for a conference, for the visa application I want to book a flight, but it seems most of the airlines want me to pay. Which airline doesn't require me to pay, just booking.??
The Canadian embassy does not require any ticket booking as a requirement to get visa approval. Just show of ur trip, proof of funds, a work letter, property documents, and any home ties, etc. Also, applying or paying any non-refundable conference fee does not guarantee that you will be issued a visa, as Canada is now very strict with visa issuance. The rejection rate for India, Bangladesh, and Nigeria is extreme, as these three countries are notorious for canada visa abuse and if u have no good travel history then u have low chance! Good luck!

Not worth continuing this back and forth with you because how does asking people to submit at DHL fix the service outage? Please have a nice day!
It is simple. They gave you an option due to technical issues and never forced you to use the courier, as it is optional. So, if you disagree, you can come back another day or week.At least you have 30 days to submit your passport!

I’m not sure what you’re on about. I shared mine + my friend’s experience which you did not witness and asked if anyone else has experienced it and you go on full mode defensive.

VFS is not connected with DHL but they have shared services, no? If you think Nigerians would not find a way to exploit it, then you’re just being dishonest.

For anyone else going to submit their passports, please be aware of the racket going on and don’t fall for it.
So according to you, it is impossible to have a technical service outage for two days. I hear you.

Oh I see. Looks like the system is down everyday because this was yesterday and today (different instances). They are literally charging each person 22,500.
My brother submited for passport stamping after permanent resident approval in same lagos last week and no issue , vfs is not even connected with dhl as a company so who did you pay ur 22500 as courier fee ?
In nigeria becos of our corrupt system nd mindset we see every excuse as a fraud even without proper investigation of root cause!

I think there’s a racket going around with passport submission in the Lagos Centre. My brother got into the centre to submit and was told there was no network and he had to use DHL. My friend called me and said her driver was told to pay the same.

Has anyone else experienced the same?
No racketing becos system is down and they give you option to drop at dhl or come back another day for submission

Greetings
Pls I need advice on what to do, my family VV was denied yesterday morning.
Biometric date was Feb 10th for a church conference coming up May15.
Reason stated was
I am not satisfied you have a legitimate business purpose in Canada. It's also the same on my wife's profile. And my son's who is under 3 reason was different.
His reason stated that I am not satisfied you will leave at the end of your stay. Also the purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.
Does this mean the conference isn't legitimate or what because a friend of mine also received the same reason as mine and my wife and other of my friend reason is same as my son.
Pls what can we do in this situation. Your candid advice will go along way for me and my friends on what next to do. Thanks
Pls advice me on what to do
The conference is legitimate but non of you is considered a legitimate traveller especially in this era of massive refusal!

Too much of reapplication is not the way forward.

Come to Nigeria for your wedding and file for her, that's the only way forward.

Peace out
In this era of massive visa rejection, you have given the best advice as reapplying too much cannot gurantee visa approval!

Well said. It was surprising seeing that quote. It's like Andy Carroll criticising C. Ronaldo.
I've noticed there is a telling lack of understanding of British politics here. They are the kings of double-speak aka British diplomacy. When a British politician says something, you dont jump at it. You first take a step back and rumminate over why they said that.

I dont speak to defend politicians but Carneys profile is brilliant. Whether he would make a good PM is to be seen.

LOL, hopefully her tenor will be favourable to everyone, Canada needs to start acting like a 1st world country and beef up their infrastructure and population, like I said they might slow it down now but in 2 to 3 years they will be begging people to come.
It’s going to be tough, and it may not favor immigrants if she wants to increase her party's chances. With the federal election likely happening within the next two months as the new prime plan to call an early election , the Liberals will need to act quickly. Currently, Liberal ratings aren’t favorable, and immigration with the economic is a major issue. Even recent poll show that Over 80% of newcomers feel Canada is bringing in too many people without proper planning, and most Canadians believe immigration levels are too high. To improve her party’s image, she’ll need to take decisive actions, such as reducing immigration numbers, deporting overstayers, and cutting student visas. These steps may be the only way to secure a win, or else Pierre Poilievre Conservatives will win the next election

I'm curious - why would students who didn't show up result in IRCC being strict about visas? What's the connection please?
When over 50,000 students get a visa and never show up at school, it means many are not genuinely interested in studying but are applying for a student visa just to gain access to Canada and abscond. So, IRCC is now strict on student visa issues to crack down on abusers and asylum seekers pretending to be students and same applied to conference and tourist visa. Hope you understand now

After one year, I received the Passport Request email. I have a little issue right now, my biometrics expires in 2027 and I would like to extend it before submitting.

Please does anyone know how to go about it?
My friend asked the same question last year at vfs and they advised him to wait after l month . He won't need to submit his passport. Then, he should reapply for a new visa and pay for biometrics again. This will give him a longer biometrics validity period,the visa process will start over, and he'll need to wait for IRCC's processing time but you can still ask at the Canada biometric centre.

Hello Nairalanders,

Please, I need advice regarding my cousin’s visitor visa application. She applied in October 2023 through an agent, but since then, there has been no update. The agent keeps saying “nothing yet” and refuses to provide her login details for the IRCC account.

Is there any way for her to check the status of her application herself? Can she recover access to the account or request GCMS notes to know what is going on?

Any advice on what she can do at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Order gcms note and the whole details wlill be send to u

Lol, you said it's not a big deal. Go to bank and ask for the requirements.
You all paint this Canada like Nigeria is far better so you encourage people to stay back and enjoy.
A good percentage of people in Nigeria get jobs via connections. Just know who's in charge and that's all. They're people in high end of their career that don't know what a job interview is like. People like that relocate abroad and start shouting Canada is bad upandan. To some people, it's just the change of environment they need and they can pick up perfectly regardless. People like that are on this platform (they read about the current changes happening and they are aware) But then you sing it to them from a generalized perspective.

Tell us how many job interviews you attended.
How you leveled up with skills and still can't find anything to match because immigrants full everywhere.
Certificate you acquired since you left Nigeria.
Tell us from your own experience like the lady I mentioned @geekybabe did and landed a job eventually.

You walk into offices in Nigeria and you're surprised how some of these folks get to find their way there. Imagine if people like that travel out to face the real competition of getting a job
Even if you are officially unemployed but you can still afford the associated costs to runz doc and lawyer fees. You can secure a mortgage within 2 month of arriving in Canada and later purchase multiple houses. Corruption is a universal problem, and Canada is no exception, so let nobody deceive anyone,the indians don teach everybody as he dey go..l know many on low wage with 2 house and agent full canada doing mortage runz even if u have no job. And pls people dey use connection get job in canada too it not painting anything but reality of life here even in tech pls.am not saying nigeria better pass canada but no perfect place and things dey happen here too and job are hard now!

Reason: you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:

details you have provided in your application.
• Your current employment situation does not show that you are financially established in
