Thank you so much for your reply.
So you are advising that it is better that we come back to Nigeria to apply?
Can't we apply from our using all our Nigeria information?

However, one of our family friends in Qatar wants to apply from Qatar also,she said I should ask if she and her family also stands the chances of getting the visa should the apply from Qatar?

The company I work for. There is no reason for me to be refused.. Walahi. I have requested for Gsms. Maybe there are something else like my mom is not working in Canada.. Government is taking care of her. But I wrote that I will be going with my cash up to #15m for just 7days. I dnt want to go now. She had been pressuring me since 2023 but I cant leave my family here in Nigeria just for 1 days. I love my family so much.
Once I get the Gsms, I will share it here.

This is just my humble opinion, and of course, the GCMS notes will provide more clarity. From what I can gather, the visa officer may have doubts about your intention to return, possibly for the following reasons:

You mentioned your company was sponsoring a 7-day vacation to visit your mum. As others have pointed out, this might raise questions—why would your employer fund a personal family visit? Did you submit supporting documents like your payslip or a bank statement showing your monthly income, along with how you were able to save up the 15 million in your account? These are likely the kinds of questions the visa officer would be considering too.

Did you include a letter of invitation from your mum? And did you provide evidence of your relationship and explain why you’re visiting her?

What ties do you have to your home country, and did you clearly demonstrate those?

I’m still learning too, and I’m sharing this based on what I’ve picked up here and from mistakes I’ve personally made. Hopefully, once you receive the GCMS notes, you’ll have a clearer idea of what to adjust if you decide to reapply.

To be honest, I think these guys are just refusing applications for the sake of it, also because of the pressure in social amenities.

I applied for my wife and daughter to visit me in Canada (I am an international student). We demonstrated strong ties my wife has to Nigeria.

She has 2 jobs (full time and part time), we submitted all employment letters, even submitted an introduction letter from her full time employer saying they are aware of her trip and granted her leave for the period. We submitted my wife's land documents. My wife helps her aged mother to manage her residential property and we submitted legal documents for this too. Even submitted investment agreement letter for a business she has investments in in Nigeria and birth certificates and photos of my wife and her siblings in Nigeria.

Still the application was refused. They said her assets and financial situation isn't enough for the trip. They also said she is not financially established in her home country. My wife earns 1m monthly, submitted bank statement with over 16m. I submitted my own statement with over 7m too. And we submitted documents to show how the funds were gotten, payslips, invoices etc.

The second reason is that she 'has significant ties to Canada'. That second reason didn't make sense to me because it's because of the ties she has to Canada that she applied for the Visa in the first place, does that disqualify her? Even when she has significant ties to Nigeria.

This people matter tire person honestly. We have applied for GCMS note sha. Waiting to see what it says

Using a company to sponsor a tourist or family visit is a weak justification and often leads to refusal.A company is a separate legal entity, established to conduct business and generate profit —not to fund personal or leisure trips.
Even if you are the owner, immigration officers view such sponsorships with suspicion because they blur the line between personal expenses and business operations.
Unless the visit directly relates to business objectives (e.g., attending a conference, meeting clients), using a company to justify a pleasure trip raises red flags and can result in visa denial.

Too many loopholes .ur mum not workimg but depend on welfare and u the child coming to visit is been sponsor by a company and u plan to hold 15m..please let be more realistic with visa application to avoid refusal!sorry too many reason to be refused!

sparrow76:
Thank you. Another issue I'm looking is that my mom is on Temporary Residence because she recently won her asylum: although she is undergoing medication prior to her arrival to Canada. She crossed from United States to Canada before applying for asylum. Her health made her unfit to work.
The letter I submitted was from her Doctor in Canada that I need to visit her.

Your mom being an asylum seeker finished your chances. It’s simple they’ll think you’ll do same.

I don't know who advised her to mention her mom in the application but sorry, I don't think IRCC will ever give her any chance again.... It's recorded 🤔

As we are planning to visit Canada by December during the school holiday, what is the best time to submit our visa application? I am planning to submit by the end of July.

Milito:
I believe the best time is now. The Canada people are unpredictable, some applications are treated speedily while some others may take time.

By the way, this your username is the name of the Qatar app.

I once used it to process a visit and it was seamless, approval came in no time. The following year, I wanted to use it again and applied, the approval never came! I was already in Europe as I planned the stopover on my return, I was almost stranded as they refused to board me, I had to cough out extra money to quickly change my flight itinerary before check-in closes to cut out my supposed Doha stop over groove. Do you know if they have started approving Nigerians again on the app?

Aliyumichika:
A friend of mine recently completed his thumbprint for a work visa. The stated processing time is 114 days. Does it always take the full 114 days, or could it be approved earlier? Thank you

yoyome20:
@ Yoyo, please what and month did you do yours?
Which of the registered travel agent did you use?
Please can we talk offline or should we continue here?
Please get back to me

For Doha, you can no longer apply on the website. When I did mine, I used a registered Discover Qatar travel agent. She booked the ticket, which you must pay for. With a confirmed ticket, they will process your visa and hotel together, and you must pay for all of them in advance. took about 4 days, and it was issued.

If it an agent processing the Canada work visa for your friend, be aware that many agents in Nigeria are currently scamming people by applying for visit visas instead of work visas, claiming they're work visas. Many people are falling victim to this fake Canada work visa scam.thumbpint does not mean it work visa application!!!

I do not strongly believe that the major criterion for getting a Canadian visa is a travel history; my brother once traveled to the UK, yet he was still denied a Canadian tourist visa.
