Congrats. The Italian embassy and delays are 5 and 6. You just have to be patient. It shouldn't exceed 6 weeks max.

Hi,

I’m currently based in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa, and my fiancée is in Nigeria. I recently got a Canadian visit visa approved and have a stable job. Now, I’m considering applying for a Canadian visit visa for her.

She’s employed in Nigeria and can obtain letters to support her employment status, which we intend to use as her primary proof of strong ties to her home country. However, I would like to act as her financial sponsor, meaning I’ll be submitting my UK bank statements as part of the application.

We’re planning to have our traditional introduction soon, and I can provide supporting documents such as pictures and chat history to demonstrate the genuineness of our relationship.

Could you advise how feasible this sponsorship approach and application is, and whether using a UK-based financial sponsor might affect her chances? She doesn’t have any travel history.

Why not start by inviting your fiancée to the UK where you live?
Because I doubt any visa officer will believe your approach of sponsoring your fiancée not your wife to another country, especially when you haven’t even invited her to the UK where you actually reside.
This whole arrangement is built on shallow ground, and it will not stand.
All those photos and chat histories you're gathering should be directed to the UK authorities when you apply for a UK visa for her not used to convince Canada. You're skipping steps, and it won’t hold up under scrutiny.

Hello everyone, Please I have some questions to ask. and I will appreciate it if i can be guided.
last year, we were denied and the reason i quote ( • I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/
section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will
leave Canada, based on the following factors:

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the
details you have provided in your application.

This application was done by an agent, but now I would like to apply myself. I recently just got my 5years UK visa, I have previously been issued a 6 months Schengen visa from Spain and a 6 month visa from France twice all with my family.

I can remember I ask this agent why not use my salary account and business account, he said no that i should just put 22m on another personal account that is active which i did. at the end the applications was refused.


I'm self-employed with a take home monthly salary of 623,356 after tax. as well as having enough in my business account.

Please, I need advice on how to go about a new application, can i use my salary account with about 9m balance and my business account with about 80m balance for this new application?

Please i need a guided pass for this new application, what and what do you guys think i can do?

Also, I have gotting my login access to IRCC to do my it myself this time. please i need a guide and advice to do myself.



can i transfer some money to my salary account with a remark and reason ?? or can i use the current balance with business account.?

please make una help

Good day,
my good people, please I will really need help,my younger sister recently applied for a Canada visitors visa. And the reason for the refusal was so shocking. She has never being to Canada before. Though she applied for Canada visitors visa last year, through an agent.She was refused on the ground that her financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel, she had a closing balance of 15m last year. This year 2025 in July she decided to reapply by her self, without the assistance of an agent. But the reason for the refusal is very strange. It says Reasons for the refusal of your application
To help you understand why your application was refused, below are the Officer Decision Notes
(ODN) specific to your application as they are displayed in IRCC’s system.

These notes were entered by the officer who assessed and made the final decision on your
application.

• The applicant is associated with a file indicating an unpaid debt to the Crown. Applicant was
advised to make payment prior to submitting a new application. Application refused.

We don't know how this debt came about. We have asked the travel agent who did the first application about an outstanding fees, that he did not pay,he said he could not remember, not paying any fees. That he paid the visa fee and biometrics. So please we need an advice.

Please could you shed more light on this issue, when am filling the canada tourist visa , i came  across a question that stated ''do you have job in recent country you live'' i cannot say no or yes neither own a business. The reason was that I returned to Nigeria july 2025, since then I have not done any job, because I have no intention to stay long in Nigeria due to the situation of the country. 

However, my work history for almost 3 years is in the UK, i have my offer letter and payslip to prove  that. i left the UK due to my right to work elapsed. currently, i live in nigeria, almost a month now in nigeria. I am applying for a Canadian tourist visa now without a job or own a business to prove as I am living and applying from nigeria. I've prepared all necessary documents for the application, i got stuck when I was filling the form in the stage ''Do you have a job in the country where you currently live? please what can i do to scale through this.

Good day everyone,

My aunt received her Canadian visitor visa approval in December 2024. However, last week, she was denied boarding her flight to Canada. She was advised to contact the embassy to find out the reason.

Has anyone here experienced a similar situation? If so, how was it resolved?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Good day good people on this platform! I’d like to ask how is the best way to pay the CAD100 visa fee and CAD85 biometrics charges?

Will both be paid together on the visa application website or the 85 on VFS?

Major question - Will Nigerian GTB master card work for this? Or any other bank card? (Suggestions pls) What’s the best and easiest way to pay these fees pls? Thanks alot

oluayebenz:
Your GTB bank card will work
