Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by travelinfo: 2:36pm On Oct 16, 2024
Hello, I have a few questions regarding the visitor visa process. I have relatives and friends in Canada who are willing to send me an invitation letter upon my request. However, I’m unsure about the best way to receive this letter. I have found examples of the letter format online, but I would like to know if they need to send me a physical (hard copy) letter, or if it's acceptable for them to type, print, and scan the letter, then send it to me via email so that i just download the scanned copy in my email then upload it to my application on the IRCC portal.

Additionally, do they need to send a copy of the invitation letter to the Canadian embassy in Nigeria? If so, should this be a hard copy or a soft copy? Thank you very much for your assistance

you are submitting the documents online so no need for printing or rescanning. They prepare it on word document attach their digital signature and send to you via email.

The embassy in Nigeria does not process the applications and dont require any documents sent to them. You upload everything in the online portal.

The way you are focusing on invitation letter ehn. Hope you know it doesn’t carry weight for visitors visa unless its for a parents. You will be assessed based on your home ties and probability of returning back home.

Good afternoon my people.

I've just been really curious and afraid at the same time.

The feedbacks i am getting from people in Canada, and what i have read so far seems to be really discouraging.

How true is the struggling over there?

Can you advice a new immigrant coming in as a skilled worker to come to Canada at the moment?

Are jobs available?

Please your inputs would be appreciated, i do not want to regret coming down there.

You can save a life.

Thanks

Please can someone explain how to trackk visa application - with the tracking number and date of birth please, its urgent. Thank you
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Rach86: 7:24pm On Oct 16, 2024
You're welcome. Maybe you should either try using a laptop or better still,use a chrome browser or restart your phone. Not really sure but something will definitely provide the way out. Just follow the steps, it's really easy, if your mind is there. All the best.

So what do you think i should do? And thank you for your time.

I wish you the best.

What I know and sure of is, once tracker says application closed, it's 💯 certain that decision has been made on the main application portal.

Why do these agents often toy with adults' emotions, even after collecting people's money? An application is marked as "closed," yet the agent still gives false hope. But why? It’s so sad that they prey on our people’s desperation to travel. A guy was telling me a story about how an agent stamped a fake visa in someone's passport and still encouraged him to pay for a non refundable plane ticket. The man was then arrested at the airport and taken to the Force CID in Panti, Lagos.

#COPIEDfromONEofOURhelpersPOSTonTHISforumTOassistOTHERS? Not my credit! But has also helped a friend of mine.

You can order the gcms note urself if you know ur UCI number.

This is actually for gcms notes via CBSA

- Pick the first option from the list of results
- when the page opens, click on next
- click/mark the privacy box and click continue

- fill out your required information in the boxes below
(Use your Nigerian address and phone number pls)
- Pick yes to the question about requesting information on your behalf if so
- pick member of the public for the category that best describes you
- Pick electronic copy for how you prefer to receive your notes/records
- click continue
- on the next page, pick privacy act on the 1st drop-down
- select English in the next drop-down
- select case files for the type of records
- fill out all necessary information below(for UCI number, use the format XX-XXXX-XXXX)
- in the comment box write a short intro and your request. Eg:
Hello/Hi
My name is SURNAME, First Second. I have applied for a visit visa, my UCI is ...... and my application number is ......, DOB. I would like to have the notes for my file
- then click continue
- also click continue on the next page(you don't fill anything here)

Hello everyone, please I need help, visiting visa for Canada was been processed by an agent for my brother. However I can’t find the agent again and I do not have login details for the application. Biometrics was done in March 2024. Is there a way I can get an update on the application.
Kindly assist
