Hi mrkhaynoni & other visa hopefuls, Every application is unique and so there is no hard and fast rule as to the style or type of documents you need to attach. However, I believe there is a baseline for every application. I will offer an advice that will help in packaging your application to suit your peculiar circumstance. The number one reason why people get denied visas is as a result of failure to articulate the content of their application properly. People fail to get visas sometimes because they failed to include a covering note or that the included covering note did not properly capture the grainy details of their application. Remember that the visa officers have tons of applications to deal with on a regular basis and they would be more than glad if you make their job easy by leading them straight to d points in issue via your covering note instead of burdening them with the arduous task of foraging through the compost heap of documents accompanying your application. labeling your documents is very critical in an application. Since most accompanying documents sent are photocopies, u need to do well to label them for ease of reference. For example, photocopies of your property documents or visas can be marked "Doc 1", "Doc 2", "Doc 3" respectively and so on as so forth as the case maybe. Please, do not mark originals but make copious references to them in the covering note. You will discover at the vfs office that the rearrange the documents and put them under different heads. Do not bother because, when the documents are marked, it is easier to trace them despite the rearrangement. A lot of people get denied visas not because they weren't qualified but because relevant documents concerning their application were not seen or located by the visa officer or that some knotty issues were not explained. Remember that the covering letter advocates for you in your absence. To my mind, the covering letter is better than an oral interview because you are calm and composed when writing it unlike d oral interview where you may be knocked off balance by a question owing to a wide range of factors like anxiety etc. Let your covering note be chronological or sequential and not haphazard. You can break the letter into different heads. I advise that you break them into the heads that they usually turn people down for. Example 1. Purpose of visit. Under this head, very clearly and in simple language explain the reasons why you want to go to Canada and how you plan to spend the visit. You can now refer to your letter of invitation (if you have one) or tour booking or conference booking as proof of purpose of visit. 2. Travel history Under this heading, please, list the countries you have visited and refer them to the photocopied visa pages or flight tickets as proof of travel history. Remember that you should label the photocopies and refer to them by their labels. 3. Proof of sufficient funds. All they need to see here is proof that you have sufficient funds to defray your expenses during your visit without having recourse to public funds. U have to introduce your bank statements here and refer them to closing balances if the account is healthy or in the alternative, pattern of inflow and outflow of funds if the balance isn't impressive. The most important thing is to convince them that you have sufficient funds available to you for your trip. 4. Proof of assets Here you list your valuables like houses, cars, electronics etc, anything to show that you have a quality life here in Naija which u would long to come back to and that you are not the scum of the earth. Attach the receipts of purchase as proof of personal assets and reference them properly. I will continue next time and conclude my thoughts on this subject. I hope you find d little above useful instead of listing documents. If you still want a list of the documents, just let me know and I will be more than glad to oblige you. Cheers buddy.[/quote] 9 Likes 5 Shares |

Cala: HI Cala, be patient. Mine lasted over 60 days before I got the notification. You are likely to get d prompt this coming week or at d most the upper week. Please, share the good news when it comes in. Get your self busy with work to kill the anxiety. Congratulations in advance |

Hello House, . Myself, wife and kid plan to visit Canada and my Son is a US citizen. Do i include him in my application as he has entry to Canada being an American or i just keep him out of the application. If am too include him, Do i pay a visa fee also? Thanks |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by justwise(m): 8:30am On Mar 05, 2016 |
shamecurls: Including his name as part of family members traveling. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Cala: 8:32am On Mar 05, 2016 |
1koboko: Thanks, I'll do just that. I'll share the news once I get it. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by justwise(m): 8:32am On Mar 05, 2016 |
@1koboko Is cover letter part of visa requirements? |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by shamecurls(m): 8:33am On Mar 05, 2016 |
justwise: Thanks |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Cala: 9:17am On Mar 05, 2016 |
shamecurls: He doesn't need a visa so you don't have to pay for him. Just include him in the application as part of those traveling and from the family form, they would see he's an American citizen. |

Cala: Thanks.... Appreciate |
