Hi,

I’m sharing this to encourage anyone feeling discouraged by the recent wave of rejections.

I applied for the first time with my children in February 2026. We completed our biometrics on February 28. In April, we were asked to provide additional documents. On Tuesday, we received approval and submitted our passports the same day.

Our passports are now ready for pickup.

Your brother being a Canadian citizen can help your application, as it provides a valid reason to visit. However, to give you more accurate advice, we need more context.

In the last three years, what has been your highest household income in a single year?

For your previous application, did you apply with your children or just by yourself?

What type of investment account do you have?

The reason I ask is that IRCC prefers to see liquid funds cash that can be withdrawn at any time without penalties. While investment accounts are good to have, they should not be your primary proof of funds it should be an add on, since IRCC assumes most people will not easily withdraw from them.

Recently, IRCC has been placing more emphasis on whether applicants can truly afford their trip. Even if you are staying with your brother, they will still assess financial capacity.

If your proof of funds is low or not and you are applying alone, your brother will need to show that he earns enough to support you. Both of you will also need to clearly explain who will cover your flight, accommodation and feeding you need to break it down.

This typically includes providing tax returns and an employment letter for the past three years, along with proof of funds.

He should also include a letter stating that he is willing and able to take responsibility for your expenses. When combined with your own financial proof, this will help strengthen your application.

Sorry about your earlier visa refusal, but you still have a good chance if your documentation is improved. Make sure to increase your liquid proof of funds investment accounts alone will not be sufficient

Geetaybeks:
Thanks for the information. So I can withdraw my payout from my investment
to my account right? Must it be to my salary account as well?

amnotapervert:
You do not need to withdraw your investment funds into your personal account. Doing so could actually raise concerns, and IRCC may still reject the application. Even if you show the money moving from your investment account to your bank account, it may not help.




Wishing you all the best.

Geetaybeks:
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate. It'll come back to testify by God's grace

Whatever you do no DM him. He's a scammer that is using AI to reply people. His very desperate

Clarapaul:
Pls, let's take things easy! this sort of feedback/comment either truth or false may hinder some other people of good minds to contribute reasonable/helpful information here. Pls!

amnotapervert:
Chibumalasia, Badadvisor, and AbelAbdul continuous engagement with these three individuals has reduced meaningful communication in this group. I have tried to ignore them, but they keep repeating the same claims that because my email is on my profile, I am scamming people.

That email has been there since April 16, 2017. If I had scammed anyone via that email since 2017, someone would have called me out on Nairaland by now. For years, no one has except these individuals, who have provided no proof.

It’s clear that their actions are making the group unproductive, and their aim seems to be to frustrate me out of the discussion, which will not happen. They continue to target my credibility by replying to others and calling me a scammer without evidence. They also claim I use AI to respond, which is simply not true.

Please, Justwise, this group has helped countless people long before I joined. It helped me back in 2015/2016, especially in 2017, and it will continue to help many more people. Over the past two weeks, I have spent time responding to repeated false and baseless claims, yet they remain relentless in disrupting the group.

I respectfully ask that you help restore sanity to this group so we can refocus on what truly matters sharing experiences, offering guidance, and helping others.

I saw your request to send e-mail. I am unable to accept, this being a public forum, online anonymity and all, also the carrying on of private conversations has facilitated fraud. But if you go on the thread and quote me with your question. I promise to provide an exhaustive answer to your question to the best of my ability. Thanks

darasire1028:

So sorry about this I know that IRCC can be so fustrating and it might look like you aren't doing enought but sometimes its not you its just the numbers you might do everything right but the rejection rate might just not favor you

I previously mentioned Nigerians face higher rejection than global average as at 2023/2024 more than 65% of Nigerian visitor visa applications get refused and I can only image what 2026 will look like more like 80% with the increase number of vistors visa application Number from Nigerians due to worldcup and US visa ban on Nigerians making More than usual numbers of Nigerian Passport holders apply for Canada visa

if you feel all you gave all the document needed my honest opinion is to wait untill after the world cup is over and reapply again

its might just be wrong timing

iyaoge24:
I agree. Rejection rate could be as high as 80% or even more. Its almost impossible even with all documents intact. They are even running out of excuses for refusing visa applications. The excuses are now generic. I'm starting to wonder, are Nigerians even applying at all? with the high rate of refusal, I'm sure a lot of people are restraining from wasting money.

amnotapervert:
Around February March, when IRCC started informing people that no one can issue a FIFA visa except them and that there is no such thing as a special World Cup visa that’s when I realized there was a big problem. I am sure the number of people applying for visas during that period increased significantly.

I am sure Canada has a visa quota that they won’t openly disclose, especially by country. When more people apply during a specific period like for visits it can disrupt that balance.

Just imagine normally, 5 people apply for 1 visa. With something like the World Cup driving demand, it becomes more like 15 people applying for that same one visa slot....and also asylum from a country also increase rejection rate

The annoying thing about this is that it affects genuine applicants who apply during that period.

Restaurant92:
In the visa application, I think I went through a place it requested to know if it was for the world cup.
