I don't think it should if you provide all the required documents. It's not a one size fit all stuff though. Read through the thread and see do documents that were submitted by different people. What should be must important to you now In my own opinion is your funds. No thanks to recession, our money isn't all that when converted to foreign currency. All the best. You can also lost what you want to submit so that other people can help by chipping one or two things. quote author=gratefularewa post=52887285]Good evening Nairalanders I want to apply for Canadian Visit/Tourism for my cousin's wedding in July. I have a valid USA visa. Please what are the required documents for the visa application and also I was denied a study permit last year based on travel history and the VO was not convinced that I will be coming back to Nigeria after my study I hope this won't affect my visit Visa application. Thank you.[/quote] |

Hi guys, like how much should one show in bank statements for a 1week vacation in canada? I'm guessing at least 1.5million. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jayfierce(m): 10:23am On Jan 22, 2017 |
zambelambe:Current processing times is 116days. Please apply as soon as possible. I recommend the paper route. Kindly go online and complete the questionnaire: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/getting-started.asp This would generate the required forms for you to complete. For paper application, your answer should be NO when asked if you are going to scan your documents. You do not need medicals for a short visit. Examples of home ties are: Employment, travel history, assets, family, responsibilities etc. Please read through the pages of this thread to get more insight. 5 Likes |

justwise:So I finally applied against all odds Application date:20/12/16 Decision made:19/01/17 Refused based on; 1) travel history (hmmm, I stated clearly in my SOP that I had been to Rome for the last edition of the conference and my initial refusal before the schengen visa was approved). 2) personal finance and assets(I also stated that my elder bro will be funding the trip plus the financial aid from the organisers, that is $1100. I submitted his bank statement, company idcard, and letter confirming my claim). 3) purpose of visit (I submitted the conference invitation letter, booked accommodation, letters of support written by the prime minister, governor of quebec, and mayor of montreal downloaded from the conference's website) I also had a detailed travel itinerary of all my activities. Overall, I don't think the VO's decision was fair enough. I feel like he/she didn't even bother to read through my application. My application processing was also very short and up till now, I can not link my application to my online account (site says no records found even after including the UCI).. I don't think my application was duly processed.. P.S. all my documents were handed back to me except the letters.. Is it the norm?? 1 Like |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by justwise(m): 9:26pm On Jan 23, 2017 |
careerwoman: Sorry to hear about the refusal, those refusal reasons are generic, if you want to know the full detailed reason for the refusal then order for GCMS , here's the link to order for it http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp That is where you will get an explanation why you were refused |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jukeblam(m): 9:29pm On Jan 23, 2017 |
careerwoman: Since the letters were addressed to the embassy, it's theirs & doesn't get returned; same puzzlement I had when I applied. The processing doesn't seem fair atm due to Nigeria's current economic situation; we all might as well wait to reapply when 1naira=1$ |

OmoBendel24: The $5 one (Standard) is in context here; which ideally should be adequate enough compared to the other categories. edited |

Congratularions your visa has been approved. It is stated there clearly . Please share documents provided. fcisca: |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by careerwoman(f): 10:12pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
fcisca:Congratulations!! I wish I had accepted my friend's advice and processed my application at the abuja office. They seem to be more forthcoming. Learnt my lesson; never trying Lagos again except I have a strong link. They just be refusing people anyhow. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jayfierce(m): 10:36pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
careerwoman:Sorry about the refusal. Even if you submitted your application at Abuja VAC, it would still be taken to lagos. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jayfierce(m): 10:54pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
fcisca:Lol. Why the confusion? Congrats It's been approved and possibly ready for pick up. Confirm you've had previous canada visas. Also kindly assist with documents submitted. Tanchu. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by careerwoman(f): 11:15pm On Jan 24, 2017 |
jayfierce:Oh Really!! Ok |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by fcisca: 8:15am On Jan 25, 2017 |
jayfierce: Thank you all for your response. My confusion stems from the message on VFS tracking site that says my "application is still being processed at the Canada visa office...". Yes, I have had 2 case specific single entry visas -1 in 2010 and another in 2011. In the second case, I paid for multiple entries and they returned the application specifically instructing that I pay for single entry On documents submitted: Application submitted via paper route at Abuja VAC on 21 December 2016. Biometric done same day Application form + Family information form Invitation letter from the conference organisers though from the USA but venue is University of Toronto Introduction letter from my office and they made it clear they are NOT sponsoring me. (fear catch me small sha) Accommodation Booking at the University of Toronto Summer residence Flight Booking on Egypt Air - I wanted the prize that wouldn't exceed my monthly take home Banks statements: (a). Salary account and savings account: balance on both a little above 600K (I be civil servant cooperative and bank loan effects) I just returned from a fellowship in the US so I have a 3 digit USD balance on a prepaid card -I also included the statement I guess I have a good travel history: Two valid US Visas (B1/B2 and J1 classes) on my passports. I also have had UK, France, Brazil, Portugal, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, etc and 2 previous Canadian visas (total of 4 passports) -but I have seen peeps with more stellar history denied. SOP: I confess I had just 2 paragraphs and I was a little scared after reading about SOPs on this forum -I had submitted before coming to read the threads. Photocopy of Marriage cert and child's birth cert. I guess that was it. Meanwhile had a little 'katakata' with the staff of the VFS VAC over their trying to rip-off an old couple -I no dey 'minded' my business in jenifa's voice and they kinda gave me an "we go show u" treatment... 3 Likes |
