Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by KOLAPO3(m): 7:23am On Dec 24, 2023 |
We humbly ask gurus in the house to help decipher the best way to approach this visa application My wife and I have extensive travel experience, currently holding valid UK, US, and Schengen visas that have been actively used in the past year. However, our recent attempts to travel to Canada have been complex. In 2018, we obtained Canadian visitor visas valid until 2022. Due to work commitments, we were unable to visit from 2018 to 2020. At the time of visa issuance, we had limited connections in Canada. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we discovered we were expecting a baby and decided to give birth in Canada, where both my wife's sister and my sister's family had relocated. This choice was made due to the stronger family support system in Canada instead of the US. While my wife faced no issues entering Canada, I was flagged and stopped during my connecting flight in Berlin to Toronto. I was questioned over the phone - [ ] What will you be doing in Canada ? Visit my sister and family - [ ] How long will you stay? 3 weeks - [ ] Are you employed ? Yes , with will be working for home while in Canada - [ ] Do you own your home in Nigeria ? Yes - [ ] Is your spouse in Canada ? Yes visiting her sister too - [ ] Is your spouse accessing health care in Canada ? Yes - [ ] Are you expecting a baby ? Yes Then he said please give the phone back to the attendant then she told me to contact immigration services as they haven’t cleared me to join the flight because I had a US visa so I changed my flight to connect the US and the plan was to go to enter through the land border in New York at least that will be a face to face conversation with the visa officers. On landing US my baby had already arrived and i called IRCC but the kept telling me they have not issues on case while left me confused . I just lost will power and came back home This are the big questions? - [ ] Was I stopped because they believed we will not come back ? - [ ] Was it covid restriction becos this happened at the semi peak of covid ? - [ ] Was it because we didn’t declare our intentions clearly on arrival ? Fast forward to today by baby and wife are in 9ja and ALL bills paid with receipts, she didn’t overstay , we have more family in Canada ,I have 2 siblings and family (9 people ) my wife has 2 sibling (2 people ) in Canada. , we are preparing a comprehensive application pack, including: - [ ] LOE with plenty of information - [ ] Visa stamps 2022-23 UAE, UK,france ,US, ZAMBIA, SA, GHANA, RWANDA,Mexico , Spain etc - [ ] Me salary account balance 2m (no lump sum) - [ ] Wife salary account 1.4m (no lump sum) - [ ] Saving account and investing accounts ( 20m) (no lump sum) - [ ] Wife Saving account and investing accounts ( 15m) (no lump sum) - [ ] Employment letter (promotion , salary increase and offer of employment ) - [ ] Landed property documents - [ ] Travel insurance covering our annual vacation - [ ] leave letter ( for both of us) - [ ] payslip 6 months ( for both of us) - [ ] company ID card ( for both of us) - [ ] marriage certificate Once again will appreciate advise and sorry for the long post |

The Spanish visitor application process with BLS was, without a doubt, the most terrible visa application experience of my life. My wife and I intended to apply for a Spanish visitor visa, considering that we have previously traveled to countries like the UK, USA, France, Canada, and several others. To begin with, we attempted to apply on May 11th, but the website and payment link consistently failed to open. As a result, the application date kept changing, and we had to rely on family abroad to log in and submit our application details. We also had to send our credit card information for payment, which finally allowed us to secure a date on May 19th, 2023. Dealing with BLS was an absolute nightmare. Even if you manage to secure a date and time, they are notorious for not adhering to the scheduled appointment time. I strongly advise allocating an entire day for your appointment, regardless of whether it's at 8:00 AM or any other time. Additionally, they will insist that you use their photographer, even if you already have your own passport photos. It's frustrating, to say the least. One crucial tip: please ensure you have two copies of all your documents, except for the statement of account. BLS requires photocopies of the most trivial items, which can be quite exasperating. Oh, and don't forget to bring cash! On top of the $42 fee paid through the online portal, we were unexpectedly asked to pay ₦42,000 per applicant in cash. It was incredibly annoying, but luckily the security personnel downstairs had a point-of-sale (POS) machine. It felt like a complete scam. Fortunately, our passports were approved on May 24th, 2023. We opted for delivery, but they attempted to deceive us by insisting we come and collect them in person—an obvious scam. Here is a list of the documents we submitted: * Fully completed and signed Schengen (English and Spanish) visa tourist application form * Two photographs meeting Schengen visa specifications * Passports * Return tickets from Lagos to Spain * Hotel booking confirmation for the entire duration of our stay (booked through Booking.com) * Receipt of full payment for tours * Travel insurance covering our annual vacation * Evidence of employment letters and no objection letters * Bank statements (with a balance between 1 million and 2.5 million) * Copies of current and old visas * Copy of our marriage certificate * Letter of explanation I hope this information proves helpful to you. 6 Likes 1 Share |
