I have left everything in God’s hand like you said. I only indicated the Canada refusal and that was the one in my mind while filling the application form. It was after submission that I realized that I need to indicate other refusals. Relying on my travel history for positive outcome.


Really?relying on your travel history for positive outcome when you didn't mentioned your other refusals?seriously, hmmm abeg raise a webform before your receive story that touched the heart. You think they overlook applicants not stating past refusal because of travel history. I hear you.

Greetings and a happy new year to you all.

I need some advise.

I submitted for the visit visa on Aug 11th 2023 and did my biometrics on Aug 17th in Abuja. I missed a letter asking me for my passport which was sent to me on Nov 8th 2023- to be honest, I don't know how I missed seeing it in my email. I read the letter on Dec 12th 2023 but I was outside Nigeria. That day I sent a CIC form to the Lagos office requesting that I send my passport to a nearby Canadian consulate as I am not in Nigeria at the moment. Today I received a message with a 'refusal letter generic' stating that my application was refused because I did not submit my passport.

Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada. I have reviewed your temporary resident visa
(visitor visa) application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the
requirements for a visitor visa (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/
services/visit-canada/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada
temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your
application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
(IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/
index.html). I am refusing your application.
• You have not complied with our request for information, per subsection 16(1) of the
IRPA. To date, you have failed to comply with our request for submission of the following
documents: Passport


Please what can I do?

Thank you in advance for your replies and advice.

Thank you so much for your reply.

Is it okay for me to reply with a snapshot of my visa stamp showing that I am currently outside of Nigeria hence my request to submit it locally instead of Abuja where I originally did my biometrics? The webform I sent was to Lagos so this time around it is to Nairobi?

MY family Canada visitor visa was approved from london Uk and we are on a UK student visa

Wife and two kids Application submitted on August 31, 2023 AND 5 years visitor approval September 15, 2023 ( just 10 business days )
Mine - Application submitted on September 27, 2023 AND 10 years visitor approval October 25, 2023 ) ( 22 business days )

Both of us acknowledged our U.S A. denials in 2017 and 2019. Initially, I failed to declare mine, prompting me to withdraw the application. Subsequently, I submitted a new application after completing a webform disclosing both the U.S. refusal and the cancellation of the initial application. In total, I submitted two webforms – the first addressing the U.S. refusal and the second addressing the application cancellation. Following that, I proceeded to submit a new application on September 27, 2023.

We spent two weeks in Canada and have now returned to the UK.

So you can wait it out, Or just cancel the application using a webform and reapplying again immediately

good luck

Hi Gurus in the house, Firstly I wanna say a big thank you to everyone genuinely contributing positively to this platform, you guy’s are heroes. I have been a beneficiary of the tangible information on this platform several times & I’m glad it has saved me a lot of stress and money having lost a fortune to agents in the past. Secondly, I wanna ask if anyone that did biometrics in London is facing the same fate as me. I and my partner were invited by my elder brother who is a permanent resident in Canada for Christmas Holiday but we haven’t heard back from Ircc since July 2023 till now. Several webform has been sent but application still stuck at ‘we are checking your background information’ stage. What could be the cause of the delay? Could it be because I didn’t use an ircc representative? For the record, I have traveled to Benin, Togo, Ghana, UAE, Germany, France, and United Kingdom.

You guyz dont know IRCC, i can bet you that US refusal will affect him,he should have planned himself very well before submitting the Canada visitor visa.except he send a webform and attach the US refusal note and exaim to them tht he got refused after he submitted for visitor visa
My UK application was refused in May 2022 i think about 7 weeks after I had applied for Canadian Visa in March 2022. I didn't contact ircc about the refusal and I got my visa application approved in May 2023.

I suggest you withdraw your application, do necessary corrections and reapply again. That way, you will avoid receiving letter of procedural fairness which may result in rejection, ban or with God, an approval. The choice is yours. All the best ✌️

Ahh, I copied all those email addresses into one email (instead of separately so I hope that would be overlooked) and sent the same message to the Nairobi webform. I received an automatic response from about 6 of them.

Good day, please I seek advice, I applied for tourist visa last year but was denied. I applied for GCMS note, the reason for denial was because of low financial balance and asset. I applied with a balance of 2.5M and I included my landed properties. My application was in July last year. I plan applying again, my balance is close to 4M. Will this be enough. My main expenses is flight ticket as a relative is inviting me. Secondly in the application, what is the amount to put in the section " WHAT AMOUNT DO YOU HAVE FOR THIS TRIP?". In my last application, I put 1500CAD. My duration of stay is 10days. Thank you.

Your 4 million naira is about 5900 CAD$, and whether this is enough or not will depend on many factors, like the number of days you're planning to stay, the cost of the plane ticket, feeding, and the hotel accommodation.

It's good that you know why your application was denied; now you can work on how to resolve the issue before you apply again.

With the high cost of a plane ticket, it's better to have a fat account when packaging Canada visa, and this was the point I tried to pass across to one of us @pamda1234 recently when he claimed 2200 CAD was ok to package a Canadian visa application.

Don't get me wrong, I have seen people who got their visas with an unbelievable amount in their bank accounts, but it is a big risk, especially if you don't have a good travel history.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Opeyemi007: 2:29pm On Jan 09
You probably have to send a web form for them to update your biometrics

Please I want your take on this.
I applied for Uk student visa for September intake but I withdrew my application after a month as it was being delayed and my latest date for arrival passed by over 2 weeks. I was to submit a new application for same school and course in January but fortunately for me I received a scholarship I had applied for early last year. I received the scholarship in November so I decided to pursue the program and school where the scholarship covers. I have applied for visa now for this new course and school, does my previously withdrawn application has anything to do with this new one ? Especially as it’s a totally different program
