Now you're talking. The Canadian visa denial was the main reason your visa application processing is being delayed. With this information you just provided, your app will go through the normal processing time oo. But expect a positive response. Usually, once you've travelled at least once to the US and you came back without abusing the visa status(i.e,you didn't overstay your visit receive medical care without fully settling your bills), your Canadian visa app shouldn't take the normal processing time to conclude, regardless if you've traveled to Canada in the past or not. You automatically qualify for Can+ treatment

Thanks a lot. I didn’t overstay, I stayed for 1 week. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Eriokanmi:
Then, your decision is around the corner. At times, these people consider a lot of things when taking a decision but your travel history to America will influence their decision a great deal. With the usa visa and travel experience to same country, a lot of stages will be skipped on their assessment scale. Just hope for the best. Good luck

Thank you. I have been worried because I was denied a Canada visit visa last year with the same generic reason of financial assets . But I didn’t have a US visa then. I got the US visa this year. Do you think the previous visa denial would be a problem this time?

Eriokanmi:
Have you travelled to the US before, either with the same valid visa or an expired one? If no is the answer, your visa will most likely go through a normal processing time, though could be shorter than those without travel history.

Yes, I have traveled to the US with the same visa.

Eriokanmi:
Pls share it with me. I've not been here in a long while.

I applied since April and I haven’t gotten a response from IRCC. I have a valid US visa and thought it would make it faster. Is there anything I need to do now?

Eriokanmi:
Good evening everyone. It's been a while

Welcome back Sir. Please, what do you think about my case?

I've been a silent reader. I opened this account to drop my experience.

Submitted 31st July 2024 in Lagos

Biometrics 5th of August 2024

Visa approved 14th of August 2024. Took 9 days

I have a US visa that I've not used yet. I didn't provide proof of funds. I booked a 1 week stay in an Airbnb that I didn't pay for.

That was super fast. I applied since April and I still haven't gotten a response from IRCC. I have valid US, UK and Schengen visas. Did you submit other supporting documents? I only submitted a copy of my US visa, passport data page, travel history and NIN.
