Did my biometrics September 15th 2023 but haven't heard anything.. is anything the problem pls??

Thinking of cancelling the application and go for something else.. any advice on that pls

Voltron007:
Thank you for you advice. 🙂

I did not share all my details. 99% of what you read here are just baseless claims.

That said , the WhatsApp group was and is still helping people navigate the various immigration pathways. There are millions of WhatsApp/ telegram groups with information that you won’t see on public space like this. But when nuisance like we have here decide to act like the nuisance they are, there’s nothing you can do than weed them out(which is the genesis of this drama).

We’ve got entire families in the group & so far it’s been a safe space where people get support, share their private battles and victories. ✌️❤️

Good evening guys. Pls i need your help. we applied for tourist visa for my wife and 2 kids to go visit my sister in law and her family in Canada. we submitted all the necessary documents including our proof of funds which came was about 20 million naira. 15 million naira was in wife's account while 5 million naira was in my account that i provided. the total money was around 18000 CAD at the time we applied. we just got a response last week that they are refusing us the visa because we do not have enough funds to sustain our travel and stay in canada for a week. we did the process through an agent.. Now my question is, how soon can we reapply. Is there any other means of getting my wife and kids into canada aside the tourist visa route. I cant travel with them for now because of my work. Thanks for all the assistance.

I'm here everyday, am the type that I just don't put mouth to things anyhow. And I dont entertain people coming privately to chat with me through whatapp like you did the last time.

After the back and forth here, I went to read on the statics of the number of people who claimed asylum in 2023 and I’m forced to agree that approvals will drop especially for those without travel history and or first timers, the statistics were scary and peaked by the month. It was mostly sought by air travelers. If they can implement the safe third country agreement and their Supreme Court gave a backing(in this case it’s for those trying to enter from the USA o, they’re not the ones issuing the visa and it’s affecting them like this)

Hello Guys,

How long does it take for PPR to drop after eligibility is stated completed on tracker.

Hi guys, I am asking on behalf of my friend who is not sure if he should declare that he overstayed his visa in Namibia. This was about 5 years ago when he visited there once. It was the only place he ever traveled to. Now he has a new passport which doesn't mention that he ever had an old passport. Can he leave his overstay in Namibia out?

Hello there, good day! I have a quick question. My family and I have applied for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to Canada, but we have not yet done biometrics. Due to the delays from our immigration lawyer, we couldn't submit our visa earlier, and the Chinese New Year is approaching. Since that's the best time to travel as we currently live and work in China, we figured that we wouldn't be able to get the visa before the holidays. Therefore, we decided to go on a Europe tour instead. Unfortunately, our visa was refused because the consulate was unable to check our ticket. We had only made an airline reservation and gotten the itinerary, but it had a payment time of 30 minutes and would be canceled if we did not make payment. I didn't know that they needed the reservation to be active until the visa was issued. However, since I have used this type of reservation for almost all of our family visas I have applied for and never encountered any problems before, I thought it was fine. But unfortunately, it resulted in us being refused. My question is, should we raise a webform and inform RICC about this refusal, or since it happened after the submission of our visa, should we just leave it? I did ask our lawyer and she said we can raise a webform and inform them but I'm just not sure if that's the right move to make.



Europe tour where and where?

mojisolani:




I dont think webform works for visiting application. Can those etters not speak.?

abousanogo83:
I am applying for work permit and I want to fill the form IMM5645. It’s my intention to relocate my family though but should I select NO for now on where it asks “WILL HE/SHE ACCOMPANY YOU TO CANADA” then after approval I can apply for them or I should just select YES?

XYZJAZZY:
Good evening house, please I want to book ticket for Vacation to Pearson international airport,Tóronto.......but I'm worried about what these airlines do to Nigerians and those with visitors visa on transit.

I need a guide on best airline choice that doesn't require transit visa. I tried book united airline it says I need transit to stop at FFK.

I would really appreciate your candid advice ASAP.

nodetest:


Done that. Same thing. No UCI, No Biometrics letter.

Anyone else experience this?

Eriokanmi:
Hello. Don't entertain any form of worry. Why were you refused? Work on that.

Again, to those uploading all their towns master plans, lol. All you need do is , just follow the simple procedure. Their requirements are precise on their website. If they need more information, they'd contact you. You don't have to pay for any hotel in advance my broda. Hotel and flight booking aren't realistic nowadays too. I booked a hotel for Hungary last September and they were asking me to pay in 24 hours. I cancelled it. I now booked another one and kept it. On arrival early October, the rate wasn't the same anymore and i wasn't informed beforehand.

I booked a flight for a North American trip last week on travelwings, they called me the following day to pay. travelstart does that too. If you don't pay within 24-48hrs, it will be cancelled so, flight or hotel booking in advance is old-fashioned. Visa Processing time is pretty long now and IRCC knows that. Unlike when we used to get a decision within 2 weeks back then. If you go to booking.com, book and keep your details, by the time you're ready to fly after approving your visa, rates won't be the same again because you may have held it for too long due to the ridiculously
long processing time for Nigerian applicants.

Next time, do the following:

Just state you're spending 10 or 12 days and put like 4000CAD (I've always stated this figure right from my first visa approval) and upload an itinerary( places you'd like to visit as a tourist), book some fun parks and upload the bookings, watch before you book, so you don't book expensive ones and overshoot your 4000cad budget. As a tourist, an invite isn't necessary. Under that column on the IRCC website where you're asked to upload your invitation letter just upload the bookings made on those fun parks. Most of them don't ask for payment when booking.

The below is an example of your itinerary...

16th January, arrival in BC
17th visit to XYZ Park and take a short ride
18th visit to XYZ and repeat the visit on 19th and 20th.
21st, travel to XYZ Town and have a feel of the Niagra falls. It takes an xyz hours to get there so I'd rest on arrival. I hope to spend 3 days there(22nd 23rd and 24th), etc.
On Sunday, I'd go to church located at XYZ for service and if you're a Muslim, on Friday, state the nearest mosque where you'd like to visit and pray...though not compulsory,

Just precise itinerary and locations wouid suffice.

Your bank balance was good. Maybe because I've been traveling before, I don't bother myself with the above stories, I only did in my first time of applying. It may be necessary for first time applicants. Even during my first time applying, I didn't have a house or property document so, I didn't submit one. My visa was approved. The IRCC only wants to know that you'd come back to Nigeria after your visit and you've shown proofs that you had a company from what I read on what you stated that you submitted. If you're a member of any professional body or association, you may upload certificates under documents on the portal not your academic certificates except you're applying to study. Also, highlight your leave period in your introduction letter and upload . Your company can sponsor your vacation. It's allowed and don't forget to state that also

There are people who have houses and have sold them. They uploaded proofs, got to Canada but never came back. The VOs are psychologists too, mind you. That 12k is much. Having 100m in your account isn't a criterion for a visa approval. They'd look at your inflows and outflows for the period requested, not just a lump sum deposit. Please take note of this next time. Even if you don't have travel history, it doesn't matter, just be precise, honest and plan well ahead, though travel history helps boost your application, especially to the US. They hardly reckon with visits to UK from experience. My cousin had been to UK 2 times and his visa was still refused until he got USA visa and reapplied with a fresh visa and same documents he uploaded in the previous application. He got 5 years on a 5-year validity passport. I still don't know why usa visa ( valid or expired) is a plus till now. Maybe because they're neighbours.

Try next time, Tell them the 4000cad doesn't include your flight ticket but only for your stay. They'd do the maths with the credit balance and your account performance ( esp the in flows)with the bank statement you uploaded on a rough estimate of your flight ticket . I hope you got my points.

Pls Pardon my long story. I felt you needed help and this would help. Still read widely on this thread. The information garnered would also help you.

Good luck next time.


Canada are more concern with your Us visa and Australia, not Uk,if you have been to US or Australia Before ,you have a greater chances, an immigration lawyer told me this

damkanlinsin:
