He has a duplex which he is living, plus lands and a good federal job they just want to visit for 2wks only. He is not japaring anything because he can't abandon his job, he may not even stay upto 2wks cause he is busy and might be needed in a short time to return to work that's why he wants to inquire to know the movement of his boss before deciding which date to choose.

Travel history is one of the best factor Canada considered to issue visa. Though it can be overlooked if applicant profile is strong and convincing enough.

You said sponsorship account, who is sponsoring?

No need to include the car ownership since it's not in your name.

Business, but not registered .....how long have u been operating your company Why not registered your company

smatadex:


We used a family friend account

oluayebenz:


That wont fly Sir........
Sponsorship account for visit/tourist hardly work for adult.

smatadex:


We used a family friend account

ifyalways:

Why would family friend sponsor your family's vacation

This is ridiculous. Wait until you an comfortable afford vacation.

smatadex:


What do you suggest sir

oluayebenz:


Honestly no suggestion Sir but what's your closing bal like cos you said you have a good cash flow in your acct.

smatadex:


2m and above

oluayebenz:


That's not bad Sir.
You can repackage your application.

But what's doing me somehow is the zero travel history conjoined with no business registration documents CAC.
VO might find it difficult to believe the source of the money in your account

smatadex:


I am working on register my business, I will have that before I reapply

@Dedzstar789
Have you received your passport ? ....oya share the documents make we see .......Happy New month

pointednose:
Good day everyone,

I just got the gcms notes I requested and found out the two reasons my application was refused.

First of all, they wrote that my friend's wife didn't put a supported letter of invitation to my application, and that since I will be travelling with my xxxxx child. There may not be any economic ties or financial reasons to come back to Nigeria.

I believe I can easily respond to this in my next application. However, I noticed that they wrote that I will be travelling with my .....child (......was cleaned off from the notes that was sent to me). I am guessing the..... means US or American child cos I gave birth to my daughter in the US but I didn't mark that she will be accompanying me to Canada, so I'm wondering why they will just assume that and then put it in my notes, then clean it off when I requested.

The second reason for the refusal is because my purpose of travel was vague and poorly documented.
My purpose of travel is visit, and doing some sightseeing. How do I put in an impressive purpose of travel especially because my purpose of travel is visit.

Thank you very much.

Dedzstar789:
Same to you! Got it last Thursday. Been a little busy that’s why I haven’t brought my long awaited story. Will do that later on.

Documents submitted

1. Travel history - US, UK, Canada (went to school there), Ukraine, South Africa, Dubai, The Bahamas, Schegen territories. Included every Visa I’ve ever gotten from student to visiting and every exit and entry stamp since my first passport as a child.
2. Company documents - All CAC forms which showed my name on it. I also included my parents companies as my name is on the documents as well.
3. Statement of account totalling about 4M (personal and my own company)
4. Letter from my bank stating I’m sole signatory to my company account
5. Tax clearance certificates - Personal and company
6. Proof of ongoing business - Invoices to my clients, recent invoices from my creditors, proof of payments etc
7. A family tree showing my relationship to my aunt who was inviting me to Canada
8. Two invitation letters - One from my aunt and the second from my friend who we went to school together with
9. Pre booked flight tickets (I used Visa Reservation dot com) it cost me $30 and the ticket remained valid throughout when my application was at the embassy.
10. Sponsorship letter from my dad who is paying for my trip. I also included his bank statements.
11. Evidence I went to school in Canada previously (to show that I truly wanted to visit old friends)

That’s about it.

Story loading.

oluayebenz:


If I'm the VO that treat your application I will issue you 25 years visa durations so you wont disturb the embassy with your papers next time. Many applicants dey queue to attend to jare

oluayebenz:


I doubt if the whole family invitation can fly but nothing is impossible.
What will be their tie back home?
Abi they wan Japa.....

Why not invite your brother alone for now?

oluayebenz:


In such case....
Your brother has a very good profile.
If I were you I will advice him to apply for a tourist visa for the whole family, that will sound good to the VO, he will just write a good letter of purpose of visiting.

Just my opinion thou...
You can send him the invite letter and apply.
I hope he has travel history cos that will be a plus....

BOmum:
Please how long before you got the notes

Happy weekend my people. I was sent a biometric instruction letter but no specific date was stated only I was notified to do it within 30days. Please am I suppose to book appointment with the vfs or I just walk in anyday. How long does it take to do biometric with or without appointment. Thanks

oluayebenz:


Just walk in and present your int passport and the biometric instruction letter.
No booking of appointment needed.
It should takes you less than an hour thou depending on the crowd as at that time.

gentleiphy:

bibiliscious:
Good morning All,

Thanks for all your advice and information regarding canadian TRV application.

I have a question. I applied for my TRV on the 10th May 2019 (I know its still early and not expecting any feedback till on or before June/July due to reports/feedback received on this group).

I was able to track my application online since i submitted and it said visa is being processed but since yesterday its been saying No record found, i Hope there is no issue with the application.

Do i need to be worried or just wait and keep checking?

Thanks
