I have uploaded my form and other supporting document.
The problem now is while filling my form, there is no part where it was stated “If I have been refused visa at the United States embassey before” because I was refused in 2017. I just want to be sure I’m on the right track before I make payment for submission.

Jewel80:
How long is the reservation valid for? I tried holding a reservation with Ethiopian airlines but the reservation is only valid for 2 days.
Which won't be valid anymore if VO is reviewing application.

It is usually 2days, that is why I said you should do the reservation a day before you submit the application. If possible it can be the last thing to do before submitting your application. The validity at the point of application is what they look at, and not after the application is made.

Oh great! Thank you so much Passe

In IM5257 form, there's a place that asked you if you've ever been refused visa before, answer yes and give reason for refusal. Make sure you don't miss it, not when it's even U.S refusal.

do not worry urself about the ticket reservation ...it not compulsory even a screen shot of the ticket price from the ticket sale or airline site is good enough evidence because what the visa officer is more concern about is your financial means to pay for your trip and ties to your country ,travel history and main purpose of coning to Canada ...l applied online for my father recently with same method attached screen shot from wakanow showing airline with ticket price and l also indicated the ticket price in my letter of explanation and how i will pay for it and his visa was approved ..i indicated the date when he will arrive Canada and depart but passport request letter was issued after the proposed dates

Right after selecting the flight details, on the page where u proceed to make payment, there is an option for place reservation instead of paying. This is for Ethiopian airlines, dont know about others.

Kudos to everyone freely providing information on this thread.

I sincerely apologise if this question has been previously answered, I already googled but found no information specific to Lagos VFS.

Between online and paper application, which is better for visitor visa application and why if you don't mind sharing?

Thank you

@hayoakins

Both are good just pray for favor .... if you have Strong travel history we are talking about US , Uk, schengen visa go for paper route you will be fine and paper route is faster ..... But if u have only Uk or Schengen visa on your passport u may be luck ...go for online route things has change know try ur luck again

That b section is where you are supposed to say yes and give details of the refusal. Go and be praying that they overlook it.

That is it. Since you've paid, send a web form informing them of the mistake. If not, your application will be a very fast one and of course a refusal. They no dey play with that 2b question o especially if it's U.S refusal

Hi Guys,

Just a quick one. If i have a US B2 Visa & given an admission to study in Canada. Will canadian Inmmigration grant me student visa? P.S: I'm currently in US. I would appreciate responses to enable me pay my tuition. thanks

Hi everyone,

My dad's application was approved today. Applied on the 15th of October, Biometrics done 23rd October. Biometrics Validity letter update 19th of Dec (don't understand the purpose of this letter), Passport request letter received 20th Dec. I thank God. It was silence all through, and they stuck to the 64 days timeline. E be like say dem remain say Christmas na next week and they rushed it out.

So, for those that have used VFS Lagos, I know that someone can submit the passport for him, but can someone collect on his behalf. He is not in Lagos and I don't want him spending flight money to go and collect the passport. The VFS site states that someone can collect for him but I have heard from people that they don't allow it. Can someone with experience confirm please? Also, where can I download the VFS Consent form? I can't find it anywhere on their site.

Thanks.

Please can you tell me how long it took for you to receive the passport after you got the request letter and sent it in?

Thank you
