Please help me o🙏🏽
I want to reapply for Canada visa after I was denied in 2019. The reasons for the denial was family ties and my purpose of visit appears vague and poorly documented which was through an agent.
Now at the point of reapplying myself, I just noticed the agent filled in wrong names for my parents😩.
Please do I just leave it? or I correct them and leave it like that possibly they don’t notice?
Note: my marriage certificate carries my father’s correct name
Please I need advice. Is this going to ruin my application? Anyone with similar experience?

Chai that your conference and organization strong o. You see the way they treat application different , it made people think anything, and I understand. You will think Canada is not giving visa again. I think this pple reduce the way they grant visas, but some are still getting it. if I copy my timeline , you will never know what pple go thru.. U GET LUCK SHA. Lyoncrescent: The event is an annual event. I was sponsored by my organization. I uploaded letter of invitation, pay slip and letter of introduction from my organization. i did not upload bank statement. I went last year and spent 1 week and came back though i didn't go for the main event i got the visa for last year due to vfs holding my passport for 2 weeks but i attended another event late last year hosted by the same agency with the 6 months visa. I do not have a USA Visa. I have no plans to japa either. All my colleagues also got theirs within the same time frame as mine last year, those who submitted at VFS Abuja got theirs within 1 week while vfs held mine for 2 weeks after submission last year and i complained on this forum.
Another thing is the agency hosting the event wrote to the embassy last year before our application to notify them that we were going to apply. The letter had our names, date of birth and passport number. Hope this clarifies the comments. |

Thanks, It is the fault of our leaders. We should not be applying for visa to go anywhere this way. And you are right. If one submit perfect application they can still deny it as they wish. God no go shame us. Goodluck to those application in process and people applying in future. Eyiteemama:
My naira account was also in the same pdf I sent them. I spend in naira so of course that's not the only statement I attached. Pls Stop trying to defend country that is clearly finding anything tangible to issue refusal. They obviously don't people from our side again.
And I didn't share my Timeline to be receiving correction based on what I did or didn't do wrong. I shared it for those still awaiting a decision. I have been following immigration news for years and I know when a particular route is close to or nearly impossible. If you like climb mountains to submit a perfect application, they will still deny as they wish. And dem no send Nigerians or whatever economic problems or useless leaders we have.
I'm not discouraging anyone that still wants to apply. Pls go ahead and apply, as for me I don wash hand commot for everything Canada about a month ago. When millions of people are trying to move to the same place, things like this are bound to happen so I'm not discouraged. |
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by chatmate: 10:20am On Jun 05 |
It is well.
So people with USD statement are denied visa. They applying from or with Nigerian passport. And submitted USD bank statement as proof of fund.
Now I would not make that same mistake. I would submit USD as my savings and normal naira statement as my day to day inflow coming from my job or business. I do not spend USD in naira daily. They wanna see that too.
I know someone that got his visa, with his bank statement incomes and all that, plus USD savings bank statement.
If you put in that form that you want to spend 4 to 5k for your trip to Canada The consular would not grant visa with 11k usd statement. I would believe you spending half of your income on one trip. And no other source of income. Looking at hotel reservation of lets say 1500usd or so for your trip. I don't want to know if you are fucking rich or you applying with the intention of visiting only. You fit still enter chop asylum lol.
What you filled in and your documents are what decision is based on.
Half of your savings for one vacation doesn't seems you will return.
To THOUSAND OF DOLLARS STATEMENT. NO NAIRA ONLY SAVINGS. good for study visa sha.
Some pple get money for naija that they spend in usd. However, if i were the consular I might just believe you put that to convince me. I need to see recent incomes pay slip, and your withdraws activities for your daily spending in naira in Nigeria. Where do you cash or exchange the USD into to spend for your other bills.
I fit de over think, please no abuse me lol. I get small experience too lol.
AND I READ TO UNDERSTAND WITHOUT EMOTIONS.
I stand to be corrected. |
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by chatmate: 9:00am On Jun 05 |
Good morning, Bro you can try again in few months, refusal doesn't mean the visa is not for you, you try again. Pof- $11,000 in my bank account (from savings)
[b]Actually 11k usd from naija may not be a really good statement. Did you submit naira bank statement as well. Like if you work and earn in naira, you prolly need both bank statement. Like your job profile should be very confusing. Sources of funds (contracts with my clients) (doesn't sound like a permanent job ) . Seems like consultant or something, I might be wrong tho. Are you self employed? Are you married? kids? If you work in a company and you submit statement showing salaries and appointment letters. How long have you been working with the company?
Those are what I would check to be sure you will leave the country....
[b]The place where they ask how much fund you have for your stay in Canada. How much did you put there?
To approve your application, I would check your Marital status and your Job (income daily inflow and job information) and family back home. In my case I never want to put married when I am not, so I proof my relationship, submitting proofs and wrote letters that I have a relationship for 7yrs, even call her fiancé lol. And that we are planning on having beautiful kids and also get married soon lol. ( that also a way to convince that I be coming back lol). Plus during my visit I will be doing shopping for our wedding, If you single o lol . I know some people are lucky and some are just gonna try it again. It is well bro. try again next time, dont give up on it. U dont wanna know my story lol. ================================================================================================== Thank you. Eyiteemama: Good day everyone. I have been following this thread consistently and was hoping that one day I'll get to share my testimony. That was not the case, but still, I will share my Timeline for any that may still be believing God for a visa in this path. Don't give up. It may not have been for me but it doesn't mean it's not for you. Visit visa.
Application lodged- 12th December, 2023 Biometrics- 19th December, 2023 Refusal- 5th June, 2024
My application:
Duration of stay- 2 weeks Travel history- Dubai and Singapore visa and stamps Pof- $11,000 in my bank account (from savings) Family pictures Receipts from land purchases in Lagos and Ph Sources of funds (contracts with my clients) Motivation letter
I am actually not upset with this news, because I'd already passed the depression stages after waiting for months with no response from ircc. It was very painful because the person I sat down beside with during biometrics on the same day got his own visa after two weeks and have traveled to Canada since while I kept waiting. I am also on Filipino and Indian groups where I see people getting decisions after 30 days, but Nigerians Wil take months just to get denied.
For my Japa journey, I first tried study path, it didn't work because of the increment in pof requirements, I couldn't afford it so I gave up on that. Then I discovered a new pathway; the Francophone mobility program (this is good for those who know French and have visit visa). I spent a lot of time and money improving my french skills, but I also gave up on that after discovering the huge rate at which they are deporting Nigerians on visit visa because of asylum cases.
I'd honestly thought that since my application took long, it would be approved. And its clear that Canada laws are now becoming more stringent given that I submitted a strong application. I have seen now that Canada may not be for me.
I would have tried Express entry route but I don't have enough work experience. I have promised myself that I will not stay in Nigeria beyond this year for the sake of my mental health. ASUU has already wasted two years of my life I'll never get back.
I am still finding alternatives, but Good luck to those of you still awaiting a decision. I pray that you will receive a positive answer ijn.
