Travel history? I have no travel history (virgin passport)
I am not also married (single)
Monthly salary? I am into business. so months can be few thousands and some months few million. (all these funds are always entering and leaving within days. The 6 months statement from the account I submitted was close to 27M but 1.1M was the available balance before I submitted my application on the 8th of Feb 2019 (Paper submission Lagos).

Conference related to my work? No not related I never knew until the day I submitted my application cause an agent told me there was a Canada link that invitation will be sent that all I needed to do was provide my passport and data while they handle the rest.

I never knew what they (agent) were using to prepare my travel until the day I submitted and this does not relate to what I do.


Documents I can remember I submitted because I just glanced through before submiitting that day.

1. Reference letter from my bank
2. 6 months bank account state (over 25m inflow and outflow for 6months steadily active with 1.1m available balance before I submitted)
3. two landed properties receipts
4. The conference invitation reservation/confirmation letter (about $700 payment was made for the conference)
5. Letter of introduction from the nigeria organisation they used for the process
6. Letter of self introduction
7. Letter of confirmation of the same organisation
8. Hotel reservation (wish I also confirmed myself by calling the hotel)
9. Flight booking
10. Payslip (some months) from the same nigeria organisation used.

The only thing strange to me is the organisation used on my behalf. But every other things used that I also provided are all correct.

Please whats your advice and suggestions as regards reapplying now or later. I wasn't desperate to travel until a friend told me about this agent link because somebody we know from this agent got his last year

What are the documents submitted Ma?
Any travel history?

NeyofeedNigEnt:


I don't think applying with this same profile will fly.
Travelling with all your children might not fly
What will be your home tie?
Canadian embassy has no regard for those countries listed above as travel history.

Why not apply alone first or you try to visit any of the schengen area

NeyofeedNigEnt:


Travel history is very important here
Travel to any schengen area or some part in Asia before reapplying to Canada.

But wait you paid $700 for the conference
You submitted only your business account?
But 1.1m is not fair enough for Canada trip.
Closing balance is also very important

Finally your ties is somehow weak.
Canadian embassy hardly issue visa on virgin passport they do only on a very very good profile

ifegy:


Sounds like you've got quite a few issues with your application. If someone signed you up for a conference you knew nothing about, with an organization that even to you seemed 'strange', provided payslips from the organization while you are a business man who works for himself not the organization (and remember those payslips are not going to tally with the bank statement you handed in), then they basically submitted fraudulent documents for you. The refusal means this was likely detected. That is a bigger problem than whether or not you have traveled before or have 'home ties'. Unfortunately, you are responsible for whatever was handed in to the High Commission, not whomever did it for you.

kprake9:


I still insist you apply for your GCMS note to get full details of the refusal. But the truth is that u need to work on your home ties and travel history if I should go by what you posted above.

jowhyte:




Nope my savings account as my business accounts don’t always have good inflow and outflow but my savings . Was advised by the agents not to let the available balance be more than 1.5m between 1to 1.5m

jowhyte:


(and remember those payslips are not going to tally with the bank statement you handed in) You are right as this got me worried right from the day I submitted my application as my bank statements never showed any transactions taking place in Lagos the location that was used as where I worked. Cos I leave and do all my my things in another state not Lagos where they claim I work and receive salaries. Please what’s you guys suggestions
for me going forward and reapplying again how soon should I? And what other things should I do?

Aresej:
Hello House,
I was sent a mail asking for my passport. I did an online application in Abuja last month. I am currently on an official assignment in Lagos. Please I want to know if I can take my passport to the vfs center in Lagos or send my my brother who lives in Abuja to help me with the submission and collection of the passport? If he can, what can I send to him apart from the letter and the passport?
Thanks while awaiting your responses

Blackfinegirl:
Good Morning everyone.

I will be going to usa for holiday in june. I want to use the opportunity to visit toronto from usa.

I have a valid usa visa, I am about applying for a Canadian visa, however how do i get a flight reservation that can be held for long.Most airlines don't hold more than 24hrs, wakanow holds for just 2 days.

I have also booked my return ticket from usa to nigeria. my plan is to visit toronto while in the united states and go back to united states, then come back to nigeria


Anyone who has gotten their TRV, how did you reserve your flight?


Thank you

OmoBendel24:


Worry less.... Just do a flight or bus reservation that will be valid till at least the time you submit your application, it's just for the purpose of showing your itinerary to them.

Most weighty is that your paid-for and valid NG-US return ticket, ensure it is submitted alongside your application. All the best!

rowon:

inspector1:
Good morning guys, please I need your warm advise. I was denial a USA tourist visa in 2016 along with my wife. The agent that assisted me with the tavelling process urge me to reduced the DOB in my int passport which I did from 1986 to 1982 in other to have a better chance of getting the USA visa then. But I was denied the visa eventually base on lack of travel history. Now I discovered that my parent who who is a regular visitor in Canada had once include my normal data into their application when they applied then.
Now that i intended to apply for Canada tourist visa, I was advised to correct the int.passport DOB to normal in other to be in this same page with what my parents wrote in their application then.
Now my question is, Do I ve to indicate in my canada application that I was denied by USA? If yes, i hope they won't cross-check the information which might bring out the discrepancy in my DOB?
Hope it won't led to mispresentatiion which might warrant ban?
Please ur swift response is needed.... THANKS
