Yes very possible but the person must be ready to live in limbo and depressed.

Hello all,

Please if I register my company now before applying in 2-3 weeks time, is that a red flag? Or should I just leave it at my complimentary card, business invoices as evidence of my other source of income aside salary?

I need advice please 🙏🏽
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by 1234jj: 3:31pm On Jul 26, 2025
Federal government said they r no longer paying for refugees to be housed at hotels starting September

So don't even think about claiming refugee status anymore


You'll prob end up living on the street till you get deported back home

Awesome, will try this. Thank you very much for the advice. God bless you 😇

vhickky:
great, attach
1)the tenancy agreement and state they would be staying with the couple to prove accommodation arrangements
2)yes they tend to believe proof of funds in CAD more, so the groom should show that as they are his parents and would be under his care. It doesn’t have to be much , 10k is more than enough for both of them.
I am glad to hear the wedding is genuine, I wish them happy married life.

House! Please, I need urgent help. I am filling out my Canada visit visa online application. The section that says '10 years work history' does not include a job title that matches the one I am currently holding, and there is no way I could manually enter it. Please, I need a guide.

If there's no option for "other" choose the slightest closest option relating to what you do. There will be another section to describe what you do although you may not be able to write much. Also in your letter, you can adequately talk about your job.

Canada work visa from Nigeria is always a scam.

There's nothing of such.

Serious company that want to hire you will first have a live video interview before even thinking of putting up any application to the embassy.

But if we talk, Na bad belle Una go dey call us

Yuop sad. All people have to do is Google. Canadian citizens are having trouble finding Min wage jobs and people think a travel agent can hook them up

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Desmondola2020: 7:26am On Jul 30, 2025
The yellow color with a remove option is normal. You have the remove option because the document is optional. You don’t have to delete any pages from it. If it won’t take your file in the first place , it will not upload.

When you continue clicking save/next up to the payment page, is there a specific error message?

Which page precisely are you stuck on?

Because after that upload page, it'll take you to a page to input 1st name and last name, which serves as signature and from there to payment page I think.

Also, are you using the old IRCC site or the new IRCC?

On the side, I guided my Bro in filling his form and convinced him to use the old IRCC site just yesterday and everything went smoothly. I nudged him to use the old IRCC site in order to have an opportunity to compare both the old and new, as I used the new IRCC earlier in May 2025. Yet to receive PPR for that one eventhough visa number already showing on tracker. I had valid US, UK and Schengen visas when I applied.

For the new application,
Submitted 29th July
Biometrics 30th July

This person is a frequent traveller with valid US, UK and Schengen visas but 1st time applicant to Canada.

Further timelines will be shared for the sake of enriching the platform with information. Before submitting, estimated processing time for visitor visas applied for in Nigeria was 47 days.

@ Milito, When clicking the save and next button, I do not have a problem navigating. I am on the last page where I uploaded all the documents. After uploading, I got stuck because the payment button was not activated, hence I couldn't make a payment or submit.

But THE FEES I HAVE TO BE HAVE ALREADY BEEN CALCULATED AND THE AMOUNT SHOWN WITH THIS EXPLANATION{THE FEES SHOWN IS AN ESTIMATE BASED ON THE FEES IN EFFECT ON THE DAY THE PERSONAL REFERENCE CODE IS USED. THE ACTUAL FEES TO BE PAID WILL BE CALCULATED ON THE DATE OF SUBMISSION}

AT THE UPLOAD SECTION, THE MESSAGE I GOT THERE IS {UPLOADED BUT NOT SUBMITTED TO IRCC

The application I did recently on the old IRCC site, the upload page was not the last page. There are still like 2 pages after it before proceeding to payment.

As I said earlier, there's a page where one only inputs names, which serves as signature on the form, and I think there's even still another page with some stories after this. The application I'm talking about is for a single person though and not family.

Maybe you should take a screenshot of the page for us to see. You can blur out personal info.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Milito:
PPR finally drops smiley wink

I applied with valid US visa and thought it'll make it faster based on what I read here. I also have a friend that got PPR within 2 weeks of applying with valid US visa. But mine even took longer than current standard processing timeline.

Not sure, but I suspect the delay may be due to the UK visa refusals I bagged in the past in conjunction with my use of the new IRCC site, which some people said is automated.

Anyways, detailed timelines presented below:

Submission: May 9
Biometrics: May 12
BVL: July 9
13th July: I noticed visa number and expiry date on my tracker site, which sort of indicates approval (but no PPR).

On 23rd July, I raised webform that application has significantly gone past recently published processing timeline.

PPR drops: 31st July

Thanks guys. All the best to the people still waiting.

NB
Applied with following documents eventhough they are optional:
-Personal and my company's account statement
-Self introduction and explanation letter.
-Booked tours (unpaid) from GetYourGuide.
-Previous visas and travel history (US, UK & Schengen).
-hotel reservation.
-family documents - marriage & children birth certs, landed property.
-Pictures taken during previous travels.
-NIN slip
