I am not sure such service exists, since they do not conduct an interview they tend to be painstaking in their background checks which takes a while.

Submitted application for self and Darling Wife on Dec. 9 2019.
Biometric capture invite 10th, the following day.

Biometric capture successfully executed on 20th

Biometric validity letter dropped on 18th Feb. 2020
Same day, on 18th Feb. I got passport request while Wifey got a refusal

Reasons for Wife's refusal was travel history (madam hasn't traveled out before ) and the intended purpose of travelling to Canada, which is for vacation. Despite the fact that we are leaving behind 3 kids is not a strong tie to the VO.
I will just collect the visa and might not use it eventually.

Had to share our experience for intending applicants to note the timeline, about 60 days to request a passport.

N.B:
I work in a reputable organisation and have a strong travelling history to major countries in Europe and America.
Wish you all the best!!

Congratulations on your own visa.....
concerning your wife, I would suggest you process and creates a little travel history for her by getting her a dubia visit visa of two weeks and some few Africa countries like Ghana, And if is convenient with you by road would be better, why i say so -You could get both Togo, Benin republic and Ghana stamp on her passport as well and reapply immediately if you still wanna visit Canada with her. Just a little idea of mine! Not a guru at all!

Greetings gurus in the house,
my wife and i applied for Canada Visiting visa via online application and was denied on 18th of Feb...did biometric completed on 31st dec. mine was updated same day and wife's own was updated on 2nd of January. My wife and i havent had the opportunity to travel alone, during our wedding(about 5years ago she was few months pregnant which our honeymoon was stalled ..we put in for U.S visa for birthing and it was granted she had a set of twins,we all went for another vacation just before the visa expired and found out she was pregnant...again we reapplied not via drop box and we where granted another 2 years visa. she went and delivered again.

Now she really wants us to go to Canada(maybe becos she hasnt been there) to end our 5th year wedding Anniversary celebration for 3 weeks together(2 weeks vacating and maybe 1 week visit her brother who just had a child) after all these years of hustling and childbirths..... I hardly travel just 4 times to the US only wife has a good travel history(dubai,US,Turkey, South Africa. U.K)...she is a travel consultant.

Documents attached(Wife was primary applicant, she works and we both have a company)
* My government employment letter, one bank statement turnover 12M balance of 4M,payslips,wedding certificate,House Docs,passport with visa pages..etc

*Wifey employment Letter,her personal bank statement turnover 24M bal of 3M, Our Company CAC docs, Tax clearance, Company bank statement (4months) turnover 67M bal of 5M, birth Certifcate, Marriage certificate, hotel booking,return tickets......cant remember if am leaving something out..

and we got this reply
*I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary
resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based[b] on the purpose of your visit.[/b]

She wants us to re applied immediately with the same documents.. and with some more which will try to be more explanatory on the purpose of visit....Pls any positive advise is welcomed

Congratulations on your approval
And sorry about Madams own, but I think if the time for your vacation isn't too close she can reapply and you can then write a letter stating you cant travel alone despite d already issued visa as the whole essence was for the both of you to enjoy it together. Anyway that is what I feel.

Pls I want to find out, did you submit any letter or documents from your office?
Kindly list documents submitted.

Mabadejesunday:


Congrats bro.

I’m about to submit a visit visa app to attend a cousin’s wedding. He gave me wedding invitation already. His elder brother also gave me invitation letter stating that he will provide housing and food for me. Please how did you respond to the questions below:

1- Do you have a family member who is a Canadian Citizen or permanent resident? (IRCC defines this as spouse or common law partner or children

2- Considering that I have a letter from the elder brother to provide housing and food, how do I respond to the question- Do you depend on someone for financial support?

Please I will appreciate opinion from other gurus in the house as well.

FabioPeter:
It’s just a Holliday, why should they go through all these to become eligible for Canadian visa.
I suggest you consider other holiday destination with less hassle.

NUBIANkid:





Thank you,
Yes he has relevant documents such As for landed properties and reasonable funds to cover the trip. i guess that landed properties should help prove his ties and and to mentioned he has worked with a multinational company for 3 decades as an engineer until he recently retired. For family ties, he has all his children here in Nigeria who have got businesses.

I guess all this stated would be a good plus as you have said ?

Echinedu1:


you mention about maybe 1 week visit her brother who just had a child, do you attached invitation letter from her brother with proof of legal status in Canada ? because you have a very good travel history with finance and you not traveling with the kids and purpose of your visit was the only reason for your refuse so you have a good chance if you reapply and look more at your purpose of visit ,what went wrong with your purpose of visit letter and the package itself .

@afrobrown2000

Sorry for the refusal you wanna leave all the 3childrens behind and go to Canada for wedding Anniversary the Vo may think you can celebrate your Wedding Anniversary in Dubia or other place. My advice is just relax a little bit don't rush ur wife travel history can do better let her apply alone by paper route with the same documents so you and ur childrens will be ties

A retired person will have to show a strong source of fund post retirement to backup is visa application.,then letter from his children saying dad will love to holiday in canada after 3 decade of working as an engineer ....just a 2 weeks holiday is well deserved so far he can afford it and have reason to return to Nigeria with necessary proof and not staying back in Canada

Maybe the VO thinks madam want to go for childbirth since you are just 5yrs in marriage and US has restricted childbirth...
