Congratulations, how long did it take and what were your supporting documents ?
Is tax clearance certificate compulsory ?
It's for a one week visit as a tourist.

Ladydee30:
Oh I did I went there with a print out of the application receipt and good news I got my visa yesterday thank you for responding

Hello everyone, please who has an idea of the appointment dates / present month available for drop box in Abuja

Hello everyone ,

Please for those that got a tourist visa to Japan this year , did you have to submit a tax clearance certificate and medical insurance ?

Was having active UK, US, Canada and / or Schengen visa any advantage?

Thank you

Good evening everyone , please is there anyone here that has been admitted into the University of Alberta and got a scholarship for the masters program

Just passport and the biometrics collection letter . No I didn't pay anything .

Rose223:
Pls can someone who did biometric in Abuja tell me what's docs to carry and we're u asked to still pay anything there. Thanks

She asked if she needed to submit more supporting docs because she has a valid US visa and you said no need .

It is clearly stated that you can submit any documents you feel will support your application as long as it's not more than 2Mb so I advised she should submit but shrink it .

I am not smarter than the IRCC portal but by the grace of God I have 4 active visas .UK , US, Schengen and Canada . and I know the importance of docs even if it's not requested for and you feel it will help your application
Our circumstances are all different. So some people may submit few docs and still get their visas .

quote author=oluayebenz post=126077145]@puffmama.

What's not true here?
Are you smarter than cic portal?

He/she clearly qualified for Can+ and you still expect him/her to submit documents that is not required?

If you can cancel your application and reapply again, it's better oh .cos not mentioning a refusal is a basis for refusal .

There was someone that was refused a Canada visa once , applied again and got it .
When he applied the 3rd time to renew cos he didn't mention the very first refusal . He was refused .

He thought since he was issued one after his refusal that there was no need .

It's best to always mention a refusal . Even if you are not sure of the date .
They share info with the 5 eyes . They know abt all refusals esp in UK and US

quote author=BossFingy post=126064003]Am having my biometrics this morning but was just reading the thread i noticed ppl talking about previous refusal visa, i have been refused a U.S visa 6 years ago but i did not include it on my current application, do i have to include its or its not necessary, even if i want to include it, is it possible, how can i do it? [/quote]

Yes I absolutely agree with you .
I was suprised to see a response of someone saying no need.


quote author=lakeside30 post=126073866]

Pls mKe sure you submit every documents you have before youbthat can help your application, you can do continuous scanning for many documen and compressed everything to 2m this is what i did and my visa was approved,dont leave any document that you feel can help your application out,am talking from experience [/quote]

You still need to submit your docs despite having a U$ visa .

Please upload all the documents you have based on each of the category listed .

I had a valid UK, US and Schengen visas and I uploaded all my docs . I even had to shrink the size of the documents to accommodate them all and I got my Canada visa Abt 10 days after biometrics .
Pls submit any docs that will help your application.

Niveakreamy89:
hello house i need help. i am applying for visiting visa with the new portal. i currently have a USA visa .After filling the form ,the section to upload is limited what do i do? and i have a lot of documents to submit with my application. how do i make all my documents fit into just one file. or i don't need a lot of documents because of the American visa?

That's not true please

quote author=oluayebenz post=126072876]

Yes.....

Just upload what the system requested for and keep your remaining documents to yourself [/quote]

Your bank statement is enough ..it shows your salary inflows . By the grace of God , I have a valid US, UK, Schengen and a Canada visa and I have never used a pay slip to apply for any of them .

Kate202:
Please someone help me, My company is being adamant to give me my pay slips, but I have my bank statement to show I receive monthly payments. Should I forfeit the pay slips? Someone pls help me answer?

Thank you!

Good evening , please does anyone have any leads or links for scholarships opportunities for masters or direct PHD for a recent biomedical engineering graduate .
She got a strong second class upper .( 4.3/5)

She has been searching on Google and has not been able to make much progress .

Any leads on schools with higher chances would be appreciated. Thank you .

Yes oh , it's God all the way. I didn't even get to do my biometrics early . It was actually approved 11 days after biometrics .
Someone said they dont start processing until after biometrics, I don't know how true that is .

Temporary Resident Visa ( Visitor Visa )

Is the child up to 14 . If so yes she needs to do. It's mandatory for 14-79 yrs to do their biometrics to obtain a canada visa

quote author=Kristenjoe post=125663779]Please I need clarification.
My sister submitted my kid’s passport at bds office today but they asked her to come back and pick up biometric package or pay for it to be delivered alongside the passport.

I thought kids don’t need biometrics? Please who has submitted their kid’s passport here?
Thanks[/quote]

Good morning all, please is there anyone who submitted their passport in Abuja and also collected in Abuja this month of September.
How many business days did it take ?

Go with your passport, a copy of your biodata page and the biometrics collection letter and your appointment slip



quote author=Quality001 post=125650196]Good evening to the guru in the house,

I have doing my biometric enrolment soon at the Lagos office and I will like to know the closest and affordable Hotel to the Canada office and the possible price.


I will also appreciate any information related to Biometric Enrolment, I will really appreciate.

Thanks

No thats not what I mean .
When you apply, you will indicate that you are travelling with your baby.
Then where you have other/ optional documents to upload then you will fill his own form ..
Your son didn't have an application before because you were pregnant when you had him.

quote author=Teedivs post=125638121]

Really? And it’s not detrimental to have 2 applications running concurrently? Meaning baby will have two visiting visa applications running. Anyone who has experienced this?[/quote]

Did the relative say expressly that he will be responsible for your ticket , accomodation, feeding and any other cost ? Will he send the invitation letter ,bank statement , utility bill , pay slips and a doc that mentions his status ? If all the above is yes .
Remember they still access the individual applying , what do you so here, having some money in your acct where your income goes into will be a plus even if the balance isn't enough to fund your trip . It's just to show ties .

quote author=chigora post=125637962]Thank you puffmama. What if you have a relative in Canada and it is the relative that invited you. Do you still need proof of fund. [/quote]

You can apply for you and your baby to be on the safe side .
I understand it's okay to have 2 applications

Teedivs:
Hello eveyone, I’m kind of in a dilemma here.
Backstory
Last year February my husband and I applied for a visit visa to Canada hoping we would give birth there as I was already 2 months pregnant. However the visa didn’t come out till June this year. After we got our passport stamped we had to apply for our one year old baby’s visiting visa as well as I had already had a baby since last year July..
I got an admission to study in Canada for January 2024 and I want to apply for my study visa now. It’s just me and my son that are going my husband is staying back in Nigeria (although we both have visiting visa) . My issue here is my baby’s visiting visa that we applied for in July isn’t out yet. Should I go ahead and apply for my study visa alone without attaching him since his visit visa application is still on going? What if I get the study visa and his visit visa is still not out. I’m really confused. Help me out guys

The details should be updated in another 2 days ( biometric date and expiry date ) but your status will then be biometric in progress.
It may take another 10 days for the biometrics to be complete .
quote author=5454Darese post=125632093]Hi all, please does anyone know how long it’s taking for biometrics details to be updated on the profile after doing biometrics? Did it yesterday and still not updated.[/quote]

It does , the amount vary depending on how long you are staying , if you are staying in a hotel etc.
By the time you estimate the ticket price , hotel , feeding and local transport , tourism etc
The total should not be more than one third .of your acct balance .
You are not expected to use all your life's savings on a vacation .


quote author=chigora post=125633228]Please does visiting visa require proof of fund? If it does how much is the proof of fund.[/quote]

It's not , Canada,US and Uk don't require a travel insurance.
It is usually the schengen states that do .


quote author=Gentlesoul3268 post=125633710]
Good morning, those who recently apply for visitor visa is TRAVEL INSURANCE Needed?

Because when I applied for my own visa in 2021 I didn't put that travel insurance.

Asking this for a friend !!!!

[/quote]

The minimum I saw when applying was 4 months for visitors visas but I hear some students used 4 months and they were either denied or asked for updated statement .
So I don't think you should use any statement less than 4 months

quote author=PedigreeCity post=125628978]Good evening to all the gurus and all the silent reader of this platform.

Pls, I have a question

Is it possible to use 3 month bank statement on salary account?[/quote]

You can put the crayfish and dry pepper in the fridge or freezer .
