Hello,

I was refused a TRV visa because of purpose of trip , and I wrote a detailed cover letter explaining my purpose of trip.

The funniest thing is that I wrote a detailed letter explaining my purpose of visit which was is to visit my family friend who is a Canada citizen , I wrote out my daily activities, wrote out budget . Did flight reservations, added my family friend Canadian passport page and invitation letter , payslip ,bank statement, copies of all the visa I have , tax clearance, letter from hr , so I am wondering what I did wrong or what is making my application poorly documented

intend to re-apply but the question is how do you prove strong tie to Nigeria since I am not married Nd other document would I need to add so I fix the consign raised

I applied for my gcms note , and what the Vo that my application was poorly documented and vague ..

How do I correct the consign raised my the VO .

I intend to go for a 10days holiday .

I have a good job here in abuja . I have very good travel history and I have valid visa in my passport .

So how can I fix this .

Good day everyone-Hello gurus, I need a little highlight please, how long would its take for my biometric to be link with my documents ⁉️ And how long would it take for processing after biometric⁉️

lynkyinka:
Please house, as at when my WES profile was created, WAEC certificates were a requirements, however, the DOB on my WAEC certificate varies from what is on my higher institution certificate and passport, will the evaluation report still include the age on WAEC? Though younger, I'd rather not have it to maintain uniformity

Influential101:
Does your school state DOB on transcripts ? Mine doesn't, so WES simply used the DOB I filled in during application.

If your school states DOB on transcripts, then you need to amend your DOB from your school first before WES can adopt it...

NB: WES doesn't need passport for evaluation, so DOB on passport has nothing to do with it.

cheers.

@ty01 @jj17cv @ozzz pls I’ll need ur candid advice on my last post pls

jj17cv:
@ty01

My friend is worry how long this ppl are going to do this eligibility review the application since on the 4th of Nov

ty01:

Please tell your friend to take it easy and learn from me. I used to check my account about 10 times a day and refresh email almost 5 minutes before now. Two days ago, my wife said I was just rolling up and down on the bed and talking about the Canada application in my sleep. After that episode, I told myself I would not let it bother me again, Habba, Canada na heaven ni??!!!. If they like they should eat it. Just that I would love to travel for Christmas, even if it’s Dubai.

To be honest I’m no longer optimistic about the application again sef. I didn’t include school receipt and health insurance card in the uploaded documents.

Fingers crossed, I’ll update the house anyhow it goes. Thanks again bro for always following up.

makylove101:
To add to what @Ozz suggested. Is your daughter in school/creche? if yes, then also attach school fees receipts. Add tax clearance certificates. If you have insurance, health cards, pension statements etc. Then add that as well. Basically you need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you will be back to Nigeria after your holiday especially since you are travelling with the whole family. Long story cut short, you need sufficient home ties. My personal opinion.

jj17cv:
@Ozzz
Don't get me wrong if you don't declare your US refusal and u click NO instand of YES you can face ban .Unless u don't click any or u declare only Canada refusal

Ruben225571:

Update update update

My follow naira-land brothers/sisters, please be inform that Canada have change biometric usual way! Now you’re to book appointment to do biometric. I was at the Canada embassy in Abuja today and they told me I have to book appointments for biometric!! So if you’re to go for biometric, please book appointment before going!
God bless and I wish everyone success including me��

jj17cv:
@ifisco
If your friend can share the letter that will be fine I can understand better cos you can't fill yes and face ban even u don't state ur US refusal

drnoel:
Hallo peeps, have been reading all Ur stories, advices and comments. Have also seen how u guys encourage urselves, Nigerians u guys rock esp the ones that have focus.
Now to my question. I intend to visit Canada with my family of 5 (we have 3 children under 7) and would like to know any nice places one can go to, see and have fun. My Wife and children want to see Canada so I promised them we would go there but my own personal reason for wanting to go is not just to visit.
I am looking for possible school options for my son who has autism spectrum and I am curious to know what options are on ground in Canada. If I like those options for my son, then I may consider emigrating in the near future but not now, as I am happy where I am.

NB: I would like to add that we don't need to apply for a visa to visit and we can stay in Canada for up to 90 days every year if we choose to visit which by the way we have no intention of doing, cos I have to return to work since I am only taking 2 weeks of leave.

I do hope my epistle above was clear a bit and I apologize if it wasn't.

kennyliza:


@ozzz, thanks for your feedback.

Now, my questions is , How do we go about getting solutions to the reasons for the denials, see attached d reason for d first time visa refusal.
As for family ties, We don’t have a relative in canada that can invite us.

Abubuyaya:
Awwww....bless you Ozzz for taking the time to look this through with me. I see the thought process you've shared and I'm giving them good consideration.

I applied for TRV since Sept 05 to have a baby. Got ADR last week to pay my bills upfront and upload health authority's confirmation that we've done so. Submitted on Thurs.

Had gone far with the TRV before a stroke of luck, changed it all and put us back on EE pool with good score, and then ITA. We're ready to submit and just wondered if having both applications violate any IRCC rules.

A decision can't be far away. Will wait a little longer and then take a decision

Thanks again

henryvic:
after BVL how days for decision?

henryvic:
Please any difference between correspondence letter and BVL for TRV?

Gbemzow:
@Ozzz, paper applications are faster than Online, my cousin's application took 28 days, she collected her visa last week Monday. Other people that I know too get visas in less than 1 month for paper application.

Abubuyaya:
Great Nairalanders

I have a TRV application in process. I also got ITA in the last round. Can I submit my PR Application now? Before an outcome on the TRV is reached?

Has anyone had these 2 applications running at the same time? Did it pose a problem?

Thank you

henryvic:
I was thinking that there is a need to know more on the process of getting canada visa as a business investors for Nigerians. People should come out share their experiences from exploration visiting visa or business visa to investment process and getting a PR. Canada is a virgin land and others countries are taking over in terms of business and creating jobs for their people.

Gbemzow:
Good morning house.please can I walk in to Vfs in Lekki to check if my passport is ready for pick up, I haven't received any other mail since BVL dropped on the 13th November and it is paper application. They ought to have made a decision now Negative or positive, and return our passports

makylove101:
UPDATE:

Our CIC account (hubby and I) was updated yesterday, 19th November. Approved.

Counterfoil document number now available on the portal.

The visa expires one day before expiration of our passports.

Mine is valid till 2029!!! Whoop whoop! TEN YEARS baby, lol.

Hubby is till 2023!

Thanks everyone for all that you do here...

kennyliza:


@Ozzz, thank you for your help.

However, before I could send a mail, I received a visa denied mail for my husband. See attached the reason for d refusal which doesn’t make sense for the following reasons:
1) My husband First degree was in Uk and on completion, he came back back to Naija, been to US twice and Dubai once.
2) family ties in canada- he does not have anybody in canada and we are his family ties here in naija apart from his mother and siblings
3)purpose of visit was for “ “vacation”, which we clearly stated all d places he will visit.

Can you guide what went wrong as this is d 2nd time he is being denied canada visa?

Lastly, I am yet to receive my final decision,what are my chances of getting a visa since my husband, the main applicant, has been denied.

I will be awaiting your feedback

goldosa:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONDS, PLEASE HOW CAN I SEND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

cheapfone:
Agent just told me i was denied.....soo painful

nasohian:
At the moment how long does it take from visa application until approval/decision.
Will biometrics be submitted immediately after online application is submitted?
At what time will passport and be required for submission? Is it at point of submitting biometrics or after decision is made?
How long does it take from when passport is dropped and then handed back to the applicant?
