If the visa is still valid and you have previously used it for the said conference, there won't be any issue using it for tourism purpose this time. All the best.

Hello. I need an advise as to this regards. I have a valid 3 years Canadian B1 (Business-Visitor) visa which is a conference visa (used). With a valid 5 years US visa. I hope to visit Canada soon for tourism purposes, is it advisable to apply again for a V (VISITOR VISA)

Hello my people, I want to accompany my spouse on student visa, and we are all refuse.Now I want to apply alone on conference visit visa... What is the chance of been approved... And should I add more document to the previous one or I should start a fresh one.....

Approval depends on the visa officer; no one can give 100% guarantee. You need to prove the purpose of the trip makes sense (i.e it is in line with your field or your job and the conference is fully paid ), but note this approach is time-bound. If your application is still under processing and the conference date has passed, visa approval is 50/50, as the visa officer may not see the need to issue the visa, since the purpose of the trip has elapsed. Why don't you go for a regular visit visa for tourism and work towards a strong application proving your home ties to Nigeria.

Dramadiddy:
do you still have to register on the tracker site even if you have a UCI?

Yes, you still have to register to create your access.

Hi guys..

I had my biometrics recently, can I take out the money i used as my proof of funds, or I should keep it there, till I hear decision from them.

I will appreciate your response.

Hi


Good afternoon My Seniors Here,

Please, my wife and son have been issued a PR, and an immigrant visa. I am a non-accompanying dependent. However, they are still in Nigeria, as they are preparing adequately. My question is, can i start now to apply for my Canadian visiting visa? will it be granted? or should i wait for them to enter Canada 1st, before starting my application for a visiting visa?

When applying for a tourist visa, the officer would analyse your ties to Canada vis-à-vis Nigeria. This does not mean you can't get approved if you apply for a tourist visa; you would need to do your due diligence to prove you are coming back and have strong ties to Nigeria because of your ties to Canada (your immediate family being permanent residents).

If you can be patient, wait for your wife and kids to settle in Canada, get a job and start earning a salary, then you can apply for a visit visa for the purpose of family reunion.

Hi guys, please I have few questions. I plan on visiting Canada next year for Easter holiday or summer. I’ll like to know how much I need to have for a 10days trip. My monthly salary is 650k, I work has an operations manager. I do have good savings in my piggyvest. I do have properties aswell(home-ties). I have a valid Uk visa, I have previously travelled to US and France. Is a total of 6M okay? Or do I need more?. I’m single, under 30. I have no relative in Canada. What more can I do to improve my chances before my application next year

Fokus12347:

If you have previously traveled to the US and you did not overstay, you are mostly likely to be approved for a canadian visa.

I will advice you do not apply immediately as this could make it seem like you are desperate. Wait a while probably 6months to a year and apply when you are siure you have strong documentation reflecting your strong home ties, finances and well explained purpose

alright, what if the last time you traveled to US was 5years ago?

It depends on the province you are going to in Canada and what you want to do there. Presently, hotels in Canada are not cheap. If you have 6 million naira to set aside, that's roughly $5k, which looks okay for 10 days, but it depends on what you want to do and the province in Canada. If your last travel was 5 years ago, that's a good sign; it gives the vibe that you are a busy person in your home country and not a frequent traveller.

Hi guys,

Good day to you all, I am applying for my wife and I for a visit visa as a family. I have made payment after submission, However, BIL was only sent to me and not sent to my wife. And checking her profile now, she had an application number but she does not have a UCI number.

I would appreciate expert guidance on if this is the norm or just a one-off.

Thank you for your supportive response.

Alright thanks

Does your visa specify if it's conference or tourism while boarding a flight?

Ajalalomo:
They did the same thing to my nephew. They denied him boarding, but after back and forth, they asked him to show the invitation letter from his host.

They later allowed him to board when he showed the requested letter.

UhnNah:
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

Yes your GTB Master card will work, mine worked

Hi Everyone,

Does Canada still ask for bank account statement that generates pin or password for them to access applicants bank statement. Or can I use the traditional bank statement ?

I want to be sure what I should be requesting from the bank.

Thank you

It is advisable you use 'My Bank Statement'. That is easier for VO to review and that is more handy and less stressful to upload.

Good evening bro, i had my biometrics last week Tues, and my proof of funds is due tommorow, can I take out the proof of funds I paid for, or I should still try to renew it fir one extra month?!

Ideally, VO will only be able to access the period specified on your bank statement submitted. However, if the VO feels a need for further verifications, he might decide to ask you for another bank statement. You never can tell. So, you may probably rely on your instincts here.

That means you don’t have the required proof of funds, so you borrow money just to deceive the visa officer and now you’re openly discussing your fraud in a public forum. Later you complain that Canada didn’t issue visas, when in fact it’s our own dishonesty and desperation that are at their peak
Moreover, visitor visas don’t depend heavily on showing a large amount of money in your account

Visa officers are smarter now and can request a new bank statement even after you’ve submitted your application. They’re already doing this for student applicants.

Alright boss.

Thanks alot for the insight.

Processing time now 41 days.
Please who applied recently and got a decision within that timeframe?

mvphenryeto5:

No visa category for conference. People who are going for conference are issued visitor visa.

Milito:
I guided my Bro in filling his form and convinced him to use the old IRCC.

I nudged him to use the old IRCC site in order to have an opportunity to compare both the old and new as I recently did my own application on the new IRCC site.

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.

I was meant to understand that decision time for Nigerian's at the moment is two to three weeks and that they have started issuing Nigerian"s visa, that means that the rate of refusal has drastically reduced.

Your brother has a very strong and good travel history update, I wouldn't worry a bit should he apply for visa to any country.

I tapped in his success story while I use him as a point of contact for everyone that is expecting a good news in the near future.
