Thank you.

A decision was made 2 wks after i contacted my MP.

lakeside3020:



Congratulations, can you see now that i know what i am saying and that i speak based on antecedents not just a mere imagination, i said your application will be approved, but one over sabi antagonist on this platform that just manage to submit visiting visa application and turn himself/herself to an application instructor without knowing anything was saying otherwise





Ooh,na that yeye orjohn24

Please never focus on the closing balance alone(whether you would be leaving it for a longer period or you will explain the lump sum). Also run your account steadily! If you have huge sum in your account as credit and debit in your transaction history on several occasions, you can explain your lump sum with evidences. But having a poor transaction history and all of a sudden, a lump sum, may not be convincing enough

I have seen a GCMS note where a VO raised concern that the applicant had an OVERALL POOR CASH FLOW (POOR TRANSACTION HISTORY), thereby believed the huge closing balance ( lump sum) was basically for demonstration purpose

Shalom!!!

Hello guys, for POF, must the amount remain in the account for a period of 4-6 months as the case may be, before you submit the statement? Or you can just submit the statement that contains the said amount( lump sum addition excluded) regardless of how many months the money has been in the account.

Thank you, our proof of funds was 28 million Naira when we applied . Also my usa visa was denied on the ground that there is a US law that now prohibits pregnant women from going to give birth for the sole purpose of citizenship, I told d vo that there is an exception to the rule if I had a medical condition and I can afford it, she asked for the doctor's report and after going through it she said she wanted more like the doctor should have referred me to a doctor in the usa, told her I had a doctor in the usa who has ac epted me but not referred by my doctor in Nigeria, moreover our government also prohibits doctors to refer patients abroad, she explained the law further to my husband n I and why her hands were tied, she asked if I tried somewhere else, I said no because I had given birth to my 2 kids in the usa previously so it was natural for me to gravitate towards d usa, at some point she asked me again and I gave the same answer, thinking about it after I left, she might have been asking about my Canada application but at the time of the interview I wasn't thinking straight moreover at the time of my application my plans where solely to visit canada and not to go have a baby which wasn't declared in my application , maybe I should have said Canada I don't know

Let me be frank with you. If Canadian visa officers wanted to see the full and complete details of your visa application, including your DS-form, interview questions, documents submittes, etc., yes they can. They can if they want to. Here is the information Canadian and US officials share with each other. It's very detailed. In summary, they can know everything you told the US officials, if they wanted to.

Now, the question you should be asking is: "will they?" Would they have an incentive to do that? That's what's the unknown factor here, and that's likely what you should be asking yourself. If you have not stated a US visa denial in your application, maybe they won't have an incentive to check. If the US official has raised a flag on your file, that could prompt them to check just to be sure your story is consistent. That's something we can only speculate about. And if you are a first-time traveler to Canada, it won't be unusual for them to look around to see your travel history to other countries like the US whom they share information with.

If I were you, I'd just keep my fingers crossed. If you think there are additional documents that could help prove your Canada case, you can always raise a webform and submit such documents. Otherwise, you just wait and see.

Thank you. You are right. If it was for tourism, the money could fly for a family of 4, but her US interview has brought about a change on how the VO MIGHT review her application because of the expectant baby who was to be birth in the US(no more applicable) as seen on US database as the ground for inadmissibility

She has birth two kids in the US and she didn't use that to abscond but resides in Nigeria with her family....I trust God this should have a positive impact on her application because if she had wanted to run, she would have done that a long time ago.

It is true that she could have birth her baby before IRCC final decision, but what if a decision was made before approval, or what do you think? Even if she dropped the kids for the purpose of POF because of birthing plans, they still have nothing to loose as US citizens. They can fly as a whole family next time with their US citizenship.

Shalom

The process of giving birth in Canada can be more complicated compared to the USA. It is easier to find a doctor in the USA who will provide a letter stating that you are coming to give birth, whereas in Canada, it is extremely difficult to find a doctor who will write such a letter for visa application purposes or even reply your email it often phone conversation . While it is not impossible, most people who give birth in Canada use their existing visas for this purpose. If she were to reapply for a visa now and state that she is coming to give birth, it would be challenging to obtain the supporting documents from a doctor or hospital in Canada. However, if she already has a visa, she can arrive in Canada and inform the border officer that she is coming on holiday with her family and also plans to give birth. The primary factors that the border officer will consider are finances and arrangements because giving birth in Canada on a visitor visa is not a crime but not cheap. For example, in Calgary, some hospitals require you to pay a $15,000 deposit, and the hospital fee is different from the deposit, but it could be cheaper elsewhere in Canada too

Hi guys,

Nov 13 biometrics, still no response. Hotel reservation is already canceled and I have not made a new reservation because I don't know how long this process will take.

Is there need for a Web form, since reservation is already canceled? Do I need to make another reservation or just wait for their response?

Will they be contacting the hotel to confirm reservation? Reservation was for 31st January, for 2 weeks. Buts already cancelled as the time has passed.

hotel reservation is irrelevant and not used in their visa decision. Ignore

Thanks alot

Firstly, if you had your previous two children in the USA on a B1/B2 visa, why would you need an interview again to secure a new visa instead of using the dropbox option? Moreover, your previous USA visa should surely enhance your chances of obtaining a Canadian visa. The Canadian visa officer will compare the date you applied with the date your USA visa was refused. Some officers might still send you a procedural fairness letter to explain this, noting that you have not violated any regulations. Indeed, some people are refused entry to the USA and still obtain a Canadian visa. Therefore, your USA visa refusal under Section 214(b) is not a ban; it simply means you were refused without having committed any crime. So, just relax, pray, and hope you get the Canadian visa approved.

My last visa expired in 2018 , so I didn't meet the 2/5 years Dropbox waiver requirement at the time of booking the interview

slimmsyyetty:
Most likely, the US visa officer must have seen you had already applied for a Canada visa was why you were asked twice on whether you have tried somewhere else, but please, never blame yourself on the outcome because you thought you weren't thinking straight. Pregnancy hormone could have its impact. Rather, cast all to God and ask for favor at the point of your Canada visa application review.

Please permit me to say this in my own opinion with your little narration... based on the 28M POF(naira devaluation impact) and birthing plans, ''if" you are going with your other children(despite their US citizenship) and husband, please, I would suggest you drop your two children and withdraw their application to make the POF a bit sustainable during review. Cost of flights for you and your husband isn't less than 5M aside all other cost( whether you were invited or you would all be lodging), much more birthing bills and expenses.

The VO might overlook birthing in Canada having seen that your children are US citizens and you all still reside in Nigeria(where some would have used the opportunity not to return), but the POF would have a role. The choice is still yours, though.

I wish you a successful approval

Shalom

Thank you, in our application we stated we weren't traveling with our kids, just my husband and I

She attended the visa interview because she doesn’t qualify for the US visa interview waiver.

Applicant must meet each of the following criteria to qualify for visa interview waiver:

- Your previous visa was issued in Nigeria.

- Your previous visa is in the same classification as your current application.

- Your previous visa was a full validity, multiple entry visa.

- Your previous visa expired within the last 48 months or will expire in the next 3 months from the date of application.

- You have all your passports covering the entire period since receiving the previous visa and the passport with the most recent visa.

- You have never been arrested or convicted of any crime or offense in the United States, even if you later received a waiver or pardon.

- You have never worked without authorization or remained beyond your permitted time in the United States.

Did you submit an invitation letter?

Congrats brother.


Wait, I think our online VO said Canada Visiting Visa as gone back to the era of denying fresh passport visiting Visa. 🤣

Stop being a troublemaker. The place was quiet after all the arguments and counter-arguments for few days , and now you're back again to start another round. Does your life depend on a Canadian visa alone. If Canada denies your visa, will you stop breathing . Do not be deceived; many people are being refused Canadian visas daily compared to the success rate last year and how many people are bold enough to share their refuser online to avoid mockery like you often do and you yourself do not have a visa yet . Talk to an agent and see the truth. Please, let's stop all this flooding of this forum with daily fights!

Good afternoon everyone, I have been following this thrend since September last year, when I submitted my visiting visa, but on 7th of March I was denied, with the following reasons, the vo said that your current employment situation does not show you are financially established in your country of residence, the purpose of visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application, your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself and lastly i am not satisfied tgat you will leave Canada at the end of your stay.....
The statement of account that I used is 19.4million
I have cac, my vehicle document worth 4.5million, landed property worth 8 million family photo, date of birth og all themmember of the family.
Please I wanted to reapply, I need your kind information to provide necessary information and the documents to correct of what the vo said
Thanks

wow that huge congratulation

Oh, failure it's you again.

Please move on.... Don't put all your life in a basket. Better days ahead that's if you put behind your failure.

sanima770:
please, am new here .I underwent my biometrics on August 31 , and unfortunately, last Friday, my visitor visa application was denied. Surprisingly, it was the same agent who handled my application as for my friends who traveled to Canada in June, despite them having no prior travel experience. but to my dismay, it has been refused. I'm uncertain about my options now. The agent mentioned it was merely bad luck maybe l need reapply but he asking some money again , stating he has had a high success rate this year. pls anybody with similar experience or sugges ohtion.

Stop living in the past....

Try and move on......

I understand it wasn't easy getting Visa fees and biometric respectively


But you don't have to kill yourself over nothing....


Better days ahead

This is a tale of resilience and faith, a narrative that underscores the belief that setbacks are not roadblocks but rather detours guiding us towards our ultimate destination. In the face of unexpected challenges, it's crucial to maintain forward momentum, trusting in the natural unfolding of events.

Last December it was disappointment when my application for a tourist visa was rejected. Instead of dwelling on this setback, I refocused my energy on my business pursuits. Yet, the dream of relocating to Canada with my wife, who is a nurse, persisted within us. Two years earlier, we had explored this possibility, but my wife's evaluation, particularly her IELTS score, didn't meet the criteria for the express entry pool as the point is less than 400 . Despite the option for her to apply independently, she insisted on our journey together.

Seeking guidance from a travel agent, we received discouraging news about the lengthy and uncertain process involved. However, our plans to visit Canada as tourists were abruptly halted when my visa application was declined. It was during this time that a friend in Canada, who had previously utilized the same agent, shared his experience of obtaining a work permit. but even if l have got the visa, my faith in God and his teaches will have prevented me from pursuing that type route , and I harbored no judgment towards him or anybody . It became apparent that many individuals in Canada who arrive with tourist visa were not saying the truth about the path used to secure the fast work permit .

Then, in a remarkable turn of events, my wife received an invitation just yesterday to apply for permanent residency in Ontario through the Express Entry pool. With her low score as a registered nurse, NOC 31301, a new avenue towards our Canadian dream emerged.

This journey has imparted a profound lesson: that the plans of a higher power often unfold in unforeseen ways. What initially seemed like a setback ultimately paved the way for a greater opportunity. It serves as a poignant reminder that God's timing is always impeccable, surpassing our own aspirations.

Ultimately, it's not the obstacles themselves that define us, but rather our resilience in overcoming them. Through unwavering faith and perseverance, we find ourselves on the precipice of a new chapter in our lives. Indeed, the mysterious workings of divine God often bring blessings when least expected... and to the one calling me a failure ..l will advice you have alternative plan for yourself too should in-case visa approved or denial because tourist visa is not a right but a privilege and it does not define anybody success or achievement .l wish everybody all the best

I’m happy for to read this good news of you and your wife. Eventually you’ll land as a Pr holder and not a TRV holder. God is good, every slight set back is not an absolute denial. Regardless of your scores remain in the pool that’s my advise to everyone exploring the PR pathway.

My thoughts exactly. Could it be that she applied via a drop box but the VO later served her a 221g for a follow up visa interview? Some applicants wouid seek help but only provide us with half baked information. The delay in her application, given her travel history raises some concerns, TBH. Whatever it is. I wish her good luck.

Nobody is a VO here. We all learn from the experiences of others.

There is nothing half baked about what I wrote because there is no need to, I already wrote i wasnt qualified for a dropbox, so dont assume im lying, i didnt applied through Dropbox or given a 221g, this was an interview I booked myself a year ago even before I got pregnant for normal visit before I changed it to childbirth after all I was showing , thanks

Hello everyone,

I submitted my Canadian visitor visa application on Feb 16, and I completed my biometrics on Feb 29.

I need to travel to Canada urgently. Is there any way to expedite the application process?

I am divorced and applied with my three children. We traveled together to the UK and Germany last year, and now I want to take them to Canada for a vacation. Their father is covering the trip costs, and I included his consent in the application. I am concerned if my divorced status will impact the application outcome.

I initially intended to go for study, so I underwent a medical examination as part of my application. The latest status I can see is that I passed the medical examination. Will this affect my application, and will they be aware that I did it with the intention of obtaining a student visa?
