Please @Emmafe I want to ask you question for my friend

She want to visit her brother in Canada (single application)
Is 7m enough for her 14days visit, her brother too will submit his statement of account…also her expenses will be on her brother

Can she submit 4 months bank statements??

Emmafe:
7m is very okay n 4months is fine if ders no lump sum. She should submit any document that will help with home tie.

chigrad:
Thank you. Will request GCMS. I meant 8k in statement. 5k is what I intended travelling with just to hold , which may not be spent as its excludes flight ticket , feeding and accommodation.

Phemos:


Please when did you apply?

iamleye:
I am not too sure why people are scared of Toronto Pearson Airpot POE?

That Airport is actually the best to come into Canada, you can be rest assured you will not be discriminated against as they have a lot of friendly blacks and Asians CBSA officers unlike the POE in Montreal, BC or even Alberta with white folks.

I personally don’t like Montreal because they speak French and French people are something else.

Anyways, best of luck to everyone coming in!

spicyuzo:


I think this is quite relative. The officer who checked me last Friday was black, and he looked at my passport so much so that my colleagues began to ask me if there was something hidden in the Nigerian passport which the guy wanted to find.
I think the POE experience one gets depends on the mood/instincts of the officer he/she runs into.
My next entry will be from Montreal, I hope I meet a jolly good fellow.

Hello friends, I sent my passport, consent letter, passport data page, old passport bio data page since i got a new passport due to marriage. PPR letter. I did not add the Biometric letter nor did i write my name or email on the photocopy of my passport bio data page. My package was delivered yesterday to the lagos VFS office .

Question is- should I send another mail with the Biometric letter and my contact info? Or from peoples experience here the missing item ( Biometric Letter) is not a big deal? Will they get in touch with me to supply the missing document ?

I guess i am just worried I might exceed the 30 days passport submittal window given to me with all these back and forth.

you should try and contact the courier company you sent your package through , VFS might have returned your package back to the courier company because of missing documentation without even informing you. That was my case,that happened to me last month. VFS returned my package for incomplete documentation . DHL later called me and told me about it , 2 days before my submission deadline. I picked up my package from their lekki office , I had to (1) add the biometric letter to my package , and (2)my print out payment receipt of transmission fee, also adding (3)the letter VFS wrote me that was added inside my package they returned. of course add your contact information, I wrote and printed mine on a paper. Then I went back to DHL and sent to VFS, my resending date had already passed my submission deadline . But mind you my first submission met the deadline , this is the reason you MUST attach the letter they wrote you ..(I e if your case is as mine) . The good news is , I got back my passport stamped and received yesterday ! Thanks to those in this forum that supported me. Especially @emmafe Good luck !

@Emmafe
I mistakenly indicated yes in my application that my wife and two kids will be traveling with me in Canada while there is no intention to take them along and my POF is 10million and I have submitted since two weeks now. Please will this affect my application negatively?
Pls I need response

Blackfinegirl:


It is not an issue, i made same error in my application last year and i sent them a mail .

Phemos:


Ohk thank u
But are u saying that I shd send webform for that?
Is the webform the email u re talking about?

Mummywifey:


No I don't think so, i was only asking because I dont know if i should book using my son's name or my name

Good morning all , please an urgent help is needed, kindly guide me on how to get my prove of biometric because my documents are being sent back now from vfs in order to add the prove of biometric to it and meanwhile my biometric is done in Lagos @Emmafe

opebiyi14:
Thank you so much. I removed the spaces.
However when I click the link it shows an error: the group does not exist. Pls can you send the link to my email: folamioyewumi@gmail.com

oluayebenz:


When do you did your biometric?

Did you pay for the transmission fee?

Newbiein2016:
I don't understand the latter part of the question.

If she's applying from the UK, a few things to guide her:

1. How much time does she have on her study permit? If she has 3months left for example, this might cause IRCC to think she plans to settle in Canada through her visit visa.

She needs to apply with ample time left on her BRP

2. If she has any kind of work including part-time, she should include the contract or agreement for this, any proof of payment as well as her bank account.

3. Where does she live? She can attach a letter from her landlord confirming consistent payment of rent or tenancy agreement ( if it will expire well after her return from Canada). Utility bills too!

4. She should show connections with her school by including a stamped letter of introduction, transcript showing commitment to achieving good grades, school fees receipt etc.

5. As she is in the UK, might be worthwhile to include recent 2-3 months' credit card statements (if the dues are low) + state the credit limits + mention that she will bring these cards for her visit

Of course all of this is in addition to sponsorship letter & documents from her sponsor.

I'm uncertain how the NYSC certificate would support her application as a UK student.

Her application should be centered around providing good answers to the question "why you are going to leave Canada?".

Hi Emmafe,

I can’t access the new ircc application portal on my phone for days now, how can this be resolved please? Kindly know that it has been very access before now and other devices, cleared cookies and web data, it’s still blank on my main phone. How can this be resolved please?

Emmafe:
Maybe the website was under maintenance when you tried. I just checked mine n it’s going.

Hello Nairalanders!!!
Please I need your help on what to do. I applied for SWOP and Visit Visa in February and March 2023 respectively. My SWOP got approved last month and my passport was stamped. Yesterday, my visit visa approval letter came in. Now, I don't need the visit visa since I already got the SWOP, what do I do, guys? Do I just jettison the visit letter and not sending my passport to VFS for visit visa stamping or I should send it? And if I jettison is there any implication at the Point of Entry? Please note that I have one month to reply the Canada embassy for the visit visa. Please I need your reply for comment section. Thank you!
