You should be able to specify what amount out of the 14 million you are planning on spending on the trip. It's never wise to have 14m and say you want to spend the 14m on the trip to Canada and come back home broke.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently completing visitor visa applications for my parents, who plan to visit me in Canada for two weeks.

They have ₦14 million available as proof of funds. The entire amount is in my father’s account, and he will be fully sponsoring my mother’s trip as well.

On my father’s application, I entered ₦14 million under “How much money do you have for your stay in Canada?”

For my mother’s application, should I also enter the full ₦14 million since my father is sponsoring her, or should I divide the money between both applications and enter ₦7 million for each of them? I’m really confused about this part.

Also, is ₦14 million sufficient for both applicants for a two-week visit? If not, what amount would be considered reasonable?

Thank you.

IMO, ₦14 million is too small in 2026 if you are not also co-sponsoring them, especially if that is the total POF they have available and not just the amount they intend to spend on the trip.

If ₦14 million is only part of their overall funds and you are also providing significant financial support, that is a different situation. But if ₦14 million is all they have to cover the trip, I would consider that weak, particularly when you factor other expenses.

Thanks you very much for response.

The determination of whether misrepresentation has occurred rests solely with the immigration officer. However, the good news is that IRCC provides a mechanism for applicants to correct errors or omissions through a webform if they discover that incorrect information was provided or important details were left out.

Your friend can draft a brief formal letter (one page should be sufficient) explaining the error and clarifying that it was an honest mistake. You can then include a screenshot of the application page showing the correct information as a second page, sign the letter, merge both pages and submit through the IRCC webform. (see link and screenshot below).

Withdrawing the application would not necessarily erase it, as the information has already been submitted and remains on record. Unless there are multiple inaccuracies that fundamentally affect the validity of the application. Since you are the one bringing it to their attention and you proactively submit via webform, you should be good.

Are you expecting them to spend all their savings on a vacation trip?

In my opinion, I don’t think the outcome will be good if you package the applications the way you explained above.

Since they are your parents and are coming to visit you, state in their applications, cover letter, and sponsorship letter that, during their stay, you will cover all expenses related to their visit, including accommodation, food, and travel expenses.

In addition to your parents providing proof of funds amounting to ₦14 million, also include your own bank statements and payslips as evidence of your financial capacity as their sponsor. This will demonstrate that you are able to financially support your parents throughout their visit.

Also, provide evidence of your relationship with them, such as your birth certificate and family photos.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Canadianburger: 10:34pm On Sep 14
Exactly! This is what I did for my mum (3 million in her account) and she was just granted her 10 years visa.
In addition, you can add proof of your mortgage or rental payment, that is a good faith to show that they are adequately housed....

Canada is not a tourist country....

There's absolutely nothing to see there.

You need to have a very strong application to be issued a tourist visa.
Visiting is better

Canada is not about big account balance.

You cannot just wake up one day and apply for a Canadian tourist visa for a family of 6 without prior plenty travel histories.
It doesn't work that way, it's very rare to obtain canada visa without travel history.

Even if you want to try, apply alone first and wait for the outcome, make sure you submit all necessary documents, assets, business and good funds
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ebbayzuma: 8:10pm On Sep 15

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Clarapaul: 9:20am On Sep 16
In My Own Opinion
I will like to state 5 most important documents for a married person touring/visiting alone

1.) Business with CAC registration or Good paying Job (20% mark)

2.) Actively active Bank account statement (20% mark)

3.) Marriage Certificate (20% mark)

4.) Land survey(s)/Government approved building plan (20% mark)

5.) Ongoing project i.e building or what have you, with evidence to back it up (20% mark)

Total 100% mark

Option
Couple it with prayer:
Prayer to obtain favor and to avoid any form of transfer of aggression and negative discretion from the visa officer (100% mark)

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Mamabella: 9:20pm On Sep 23
Good evening everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

Please, I need some clarification regarding my daughter’s Canadian visitor visa. She was granted the visa last year but has not travelled to Canada yet. Her visa expires on January 5, 2026.

I would like to ask:

1. Will it be a problem that she has not travelled to Canada since the visa was issued?

2. If we travel to Canada in December, before her visa expires, will she be allowed to enter Canada as long as the visa is still valid on the day she arrives?

3. If we book our return flight for January 5 or after January 5, would the fact that her visa expires on January 5 cause any problem?

4. Does the visa expiry date only determine the latest date she can enter Canada, or does she also have to leave Canada before the visa expiry date?

I would really appreciate any clarification from anyone who has experience with this. Thank you so much.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by sweetspoon: 10:41am On Sep 24
Her Visa expired on January 5 2026. She can't travel.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Canadianburger: 2:56pm On Sep 24
Hello,

Here's my token

1. It's advisable to use the visa b4 it expires. It would show good faith and demonstrate that she can abide by the Canadian immigration temporal visa rules thereby making her future renewal 'easier' .

2 ,3 & 4. She needs the visa to enter Canada and can apply for Visitors Record to stay. However, visitors record should be applied 30 days prior to the max stay in Canada as a visitor (which is 6 months). However, it likely going to be a red flag to a boarder agent when boarding to Canada or before entering Canada. Travelling towards or having a return ticket that's after the visa expiration of her visa can raise an to boarder personnel that she potential plan to seek asylum which they can deny her entry.
