Hello everyone,

I want to submit a visitors visa application but I’m concerned about the timeline.

My best friend has invited me to Canada for her daughters 1st birthday on the 30th of December and I know it’s really close and it looks like it’s too late to apply. Although it’s stated on the letter that I’ve been invited to visit as well as attend her child’s birthday ceremony

1. Can I still apply now either ways?

Documents to submit;
Passport

PoF— Salary bank statement (3m balance)
Employment document
-offer,confirmation,
-promotion,4month payslip,
-introduction & leave letter
Property valued at 32m
Car vehicle registration

Travel history— All stamps on passports(UK&multiple Italy)

Business— CAC registration of 2 businesses

Letter of invitation Dm friend— her Canadian passport
her child’s Canadian passport,
child’s birthday invite

Purpose of trip—- SOP, flight, itinerary, my friends,
tenancy agreement

Clients info— LOE explaining previous visa refusal

2250 CAD FOR A 15 days trip, it covers flight, shopping and miscellaneous

There’s also a placeholder where I have to upload PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP…. I really don’t know what to upload there…. Please help

according to few confirmed statistical observations, if you had a uk/is visa or have an active one, you might get response within a month or less. Minimum a week.

I was thinking that, but then it doesn't say that anywhere on their websites. Only that applicant must have money large enough to cover the costs of the travel. Applicant must have ties, which I submitted an investment statement with a 1 million investment in my workplace, 935k staff savings and joint ownership of a land worth 3m naira. I also submitted employment contracts, pay stubs, affidavits etc

You might be right but get it in mind that applications from Nigeria are always treated differently.
All those things you see on their site might not entirely work for applications from this part of the world.

Can someone validate this? Kindly

I believe it's plain law, they can be sued etc so they operate within the law regardless if it's third world country, I'm not saying they are perfect, of course it's at the discretion of visa officer. They need to tick some important thing off which include but not limited to:
Pof for purpose of visit (enough money to carry out purpose of travel)
Ties to country (employment, family, investment like real estate, etc)
Well thought out and articulated purpose of visit (itinerary)
Etc.
Like I said, it's all at the discretion of the visa officer. I've seen people with hefty money get denied.

All the best

All the best! You make it look like it’s 100% guaranteed, while it’s not so in reality.

I’m not saying people should not do it or they can’t get it, but given misleading information and false hope, that's not good for this forum.

Thanks!

Pls, what is the window time for Biometrics to update, is been 20days now they didn't update her Biometrics

MayorOfEdmonton:
Hi,
Just curious, why do you feel a need to explain money she transferred from herself to herself after you have applied?
Say I’m the processing visa officer, I’d ask myself that too when I see the webform & perhaps I’d more meticulously review the application.


Should you decide to go ahead, explaining the lump sum from the other account won’t be enough, how the lump sum was saved up over months(statement of account) for the other account should also be provided if your ultimate goal is to explain source of money clearly.
Keep the explaination simple and clear with documents to back it up if you must.

Welcome to IRCC where anything is possible, hope you filled your application truthfully,like decalaring your previous US and Canada refusal if any?you need to be worried because the 3 of you applications was submitted same day,only your husband approved so far

Thank you very much, we got an email from them to submit my daughter's birth certificate and we sent it. We got another email from them yesterday which is procedural fairness stating that I refused to declare my us refusal and I have the opportunity to explain, my husband sent an email explaining and we attached the refusal letter. To God be the glory, woke up this morning to the ppr for my daughter and I.

Congratulations Sis🍾🥂🥂

20 days is quite a some time in my opinion.
Perhaps she should reach out to VFS to find out a possible reason for the delay.
VFS has chat box/email/number on their website

Can someone please confirm that this is okay and, what can I use as proof of relationship with my friend?

Quick question house;

On a previously refused application,

Employment documents were; offer, confirmation, promotion & reference letter from “company name ABC” , MEANWHILE “company name ABC” is owned by applicant but applicant never indicated in the previous application.

How do we change or indicate ownership as the CEO in a new application as opposed to the business executive position previously claimed without contradicting information?

CAC registration documents are in the applicants name

Almost ready. When did you submit?

Omobolarin:

If you have a valid US visa, chances of getting Canada approval is very high and not 100% guarantee thou..
But for UK visa I'm not sure

Thank you

Gud evening house, my wife was refused last year from study visa, we are about to apply for visitor visa as a couple together this time and she will be a primary applicant due to her federal govt job which will be listed as part of the home ties although I'm the one having a family (cousin) inviting us. My first question now is that i hope there's no issue of her being a primary applicant since I'm the one having family inviting us, Secondly can she apply with the previous new portal profile she opened during a study visa or I should create a new user name for this visitor visa.

It depends on some other factors like previous refusals etc.

Olasupo,

I would suggest he utilize the Canadian visa first and fulfil the visa conditions by not overstaying but return back to his home country. He can then apply for the US visa by filling the Canadian travel history in his DS160. That may strengthen his profile. However, if he chooses to proceed to apply for US visa now, he has to bear in mind that his success at the US consulate would depend on how well he is able to respond to the officers interview questions. He has not yet utilized the Canadian visa so no travel history on record yet. He should not relax just because he has a Canadian visa. Let him prepare very well for the interview. The interview questions would most likely come from what he filled in his DS160.

All the best to your cousin.

American visa interview is not that very hard to pass,you will be asked about what you wrote on your Ds160 when completing your applications
I.e
Whats is taking you to the US
What are you doing presently here in Nigeria
This is usually the first 2 questions, once you can convincingly tell the visa officer what you do here in Nigeria, then the next question

Regardsless of your previous application, a new application will always be treated without any references to your previous application

All new applications are treated on thier own merit without any reference to your previous application, but information needed to be consistent, why did she not indicate at the first instance that she is the director of the business instead on executive.? People always put themselves in a very tight corner

What’s the update now?
