Hi jawa, please I have a question. I applied for canada TRV on the 27th of April 2017 paper application. I have a valid American visa which i have not used yet, got the visa June last year. In the canada visa application I didn't mention I would be visiting America in my trip itinerary. My fear is would the VO have doubts as to why I haven't visited America yet since I have a valid American visa and and seeking for a Canadian visa.now I intend to go to NYC for a few days while i'm on holiday in canada I didn't mention this in my canada application cos i just decided on that.I really regret not mentioning it in my canada application.Please note I have been to the US before with a previous visa.

Jawa:


hi ifymeme, every application is different and on its own merits.with a simple request, the VO already knows about your US history and may have foreseen this plan you just concluded on. you mentioned you applied via paper route meaning your passport is included in your application. the VO will see the US visa and note that. however, a US visa will not guarantee a canadian visa(should influence but not guarantee) whether used or not. i know people personally who have valid US visas, traveled multiple times before applying for a canadian TRV and it was refused. dont stress it, VOs understand plans change. last year, i had planned in an application to visit saskatoon and Calgary international as my POE. work happened and i didnt have any space. eventually traveled november via Pearson intl in Toronto on egyptair because lufthansa wanted to kill me with pricing on the calcary route.
my opinion is, your application has already been made, you cant really change it. just keep your fingers crossed,regret nothing and pray it goes well so you can cross over and over in Niagara falls and chop life.
alternatively, you can email them about this new plan and its details and see how that goes. best of luck

Hi SamReinvented, please make your letter concise and straight to the point. state your application ID as part of the subject for easier tracking. introduce yourself properly and go straight to the modifications you request. you can also attach the document as evidence. don't stress or lose sleep over this as your application cannot be refused because of it. it is a minor error and a VO would understand.
Best of luck.

Abuja or Lagos submission center which is better in treating application faster?

They are both roughly the same timeline.

dear deejay102, ties to home country are what VOs are looking out for. it is good to be honest here but a VO is specifically trained to weigh your connection to your home country and the reason for your visit and judge if the applicant will come back. i neither know how they're trained nor how they judge circumstances around an application but you already have doubts. this means your application will most likely be refused. your ties are limited and apparently the most important thing/person in your life now is in canada. the VO knows about this.
why would you want to stay back on a visit visa anyway? this is the 21st century and things dont work easily that way anymore. you cannot work legally on a visit visa and canadians are too loyal as they will ask to see a work permit even for the flimsiest of jobs. you dont have medicals covered as a visitor and as an overstay, if you get into a situation and end up in a hospital, it may be from there to detention then airport for deportation. if you hear police siren, you heart will skip. you cannot open a bank account or dive a car because once you get pulled over its a problem and if you eventually get deported, you can kiss Canada, US, UK, Australia and Newzealand bye for at least 5 to 10 years as they use a very cooperative immigration history system.
my advice is to clear your doubts before applying. if your nysc is significant, use it as a tie. if the land can be yours or shown to be yours in the future, get documented evidence. maybe finish nysc and get a job, preferably in line with what you studied and work for a while. maybe have your wife visit again and take more pictures with a camera that imprints date in pictures. also have pictures from her previous visit and the wedding. you have a great burden to overcome so throw at it all the evidence you've got. relevant evidence i mean.
best of luck.you need it.

Hello all,

Please, does anyone know someone who has applied to visit Canada while still undergoing NYSC and got approved please?

I wanna know if to use this as a tie or not

deejay102:


Please help With the above. Also, is it compulsory to attach marriage and birth certificates of all my siblings even if they are not requesting visa. I saw this in a pdf file on cic. Problem is their certificates have been altered and I don't want any kind of falsification whether directly or indirectly. Thanks

Meggito:
Hello all, I want to ask, does every application get a UCI number? Seems processing of my application just started after 2+months of submission.

Meggito:
Please when did you apply?
The application was for my mom, i actually sent her an invitation to come visit me, she did paper submission at abuja and it took alittle more than 2 months to hear back from the embassy. Anyways she got her passport back yesterday and behold she got the visa. i'm beyond happy, and to answer your question she applied April 3rd and we received the dispatched email on June 6th. Goodluck to everyone on their application. The Lord is in control.
