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.

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.

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.

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....

Family of 6 on vacation on what purpose?
To canada?

I hope you guys have plenty travel histories and plenty fund?

Ebbayzuma:
Hi Oluayebenz, Thank you very much for your response,
Honestly we haven't travel before and I was thinking on Vacation on a visit visa or what can you suggest . Please I need an advice also I think if we have 30m fund that would be sufficient ....Kindly guide us on this ..
Thank you

oluayebenz:
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

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.
