Good, you can raise the web form tomorrow as today (Monday) hasn’t ended yet from other countries like CANADA and the likes.

They must not mess up.

My own 30 working days will be on Friday, I need to travel ASAP, I can’t wait for all this time wasting at all.

Debbieeeeeee:

My passport is trapped with them Uk people so no need to send any webform. I just gave it a rethink. If I get ppr now no passport to send to them , they can take their time to Approve

RuggedArab:
So we (I and my Mom) applied for a visiting visa to see my Bro who is a PR in Canada for a short stay. Initially I did the application through the old portal and days letter I found out about the new portal and applied again.

On the new portal we applied as a group (family), that was on 19th Nov 2021. PPR came 7th Dec for my mom and they refused me.

Reasons they gave for my refusal
- You will not come back based on your assets and financial status
- you will not come back based on your ties in Canada and country of residence
- you will not come back based on travel history ( I cannot do anything here really, I have not really had reason except for now to travel though)

Now this is the Issue - My mom is aged and cannot travel alone, we stated this in the application reason I am accompanying her. We are first time travellers. She is saying of what use is the visa when she cannot travel alone except someone she is comfortable (Family member) with accompanies her.

- I have a nice job (Manager position). I uploaded my employment letter
- my assets (Landed properties) are jointly owned with my bro in Canada. uploaded the docs too
- I have a running lease contract with MTN Nigeria. I uploaded the doc

So House, what else can I do in my situation to respond to them? Note, I did not upload my bank statement since it is my bro that is sponsoring the visit which he wrote letter of support with his bank statement. should I have uploaded my bank statement? Do I need to write a strong LOE putting emotions as to why my aged mom cannot travel alone and the visa could be of no use to her?

I hate stress, you see why I jejely dey my dey enjoying myself. I am going to spend money and whiteman is refusing me visa too!...... just for laughs

I NEED HELP PLEASE

aloskyyoung:
That’s true, you can take your time.

Kindly drop me the link to submit a web form just in case I will need it soon.

Jwgirl:
Please, For the employer letter (current) part, is it asking for mine or my sister that's inviting me? Because it says your employer in Canada.

Gentlesoul3268:


My own perspective into this matter is using mama as a bait to manover is red flag. Why can't you apply separately ? Secondly are you married or having kids? Thirdly try and apply with your bank statements.

Submitting your employment is not strong because someone can easily do that on business center but submitting your salary account that shows your salary deposits every month and print out your 6 month bank statement.

That's my own little perspective...

RuggedArab:
I appreciate your input but sincerely using my mom is not a bait. We had even suggested we pay any of the airline she would use for assistance but she’s not so keen to that. This visit was suppose to happen last year but covid-19 and the nature of my job affected the visit.

I’m not married, I understand that part about the strong ties back home.

I submitted everything about my employment including a letter from my pension company except my salary bank statement.

I will reapply with my salary statement this time. How much would one need for 15days stay let me look if I can liquidate some investment

Jwgirl:

Here you go(please note that this was done in July. Not sure quarantine plans are necessary anymore)


Dear Sir,
COVID-19 QUARANTINE PLANS
Please see below myself and my daughter's detailed quarantine plans upon our arrival in Canada.
I’ll be arriving with my 5 year old daughter at the Toronto Pearson airport and after our mandatory 3 day stay at any of the recommended COVID-19 stopover hotels, we will proceed to an Airbnb in ……... The plan is to spend our 14 day quarantine there and proceed to my brother's house after we have received our negative COVID-19 test result. Our transportation from the COVID-19 stopover hotel to the Airbnb will be via Uber or Lyft.
For our groceries while we are there, we will order them via Amazon prime and have it delivered to our door. There is also the option of the Walmart delivery service which I hear is very efficient. All our take outs/meals will be delivered via Uber Eats and my brother or his wife will also send home-made meals to us via Ubers as well. Once the 14 day quarantine is over & we have received our negative COVID-19 test result, we will proceed to my brothers house, also in …….., for the rest of our vacation.
I undertake to do all the necessary COVID-19 tests before and during our stay in Canada and will also ensure our health insurance is updated and covers any possible COVID-19 emergencies throughout.
Regards,

Note that you must explain unusual inflow into your account. The investment liquidated must be backed by evidence. Try and cover all loopholes prior to re-submission.

aloskyyoung:
Their response was extremely fast for your application (12 working days) but I guess they refused your own application because you didn’t upload your bank statement.

Talksub:

Now my question is for people like us that did not upload Bank statement because the new portal did not ask for it. Hope it will not be a problem o

aloskyyoung:


As someone mentioned here some days ago, if you have been to USA or Canada in the past 5 years or you currently have USA VISA, they won’t ask for Bank Statement.

So I guess your case fall into that category because it’s NOT POSIBLE for them not to ask for Proof of Funds (Bank Statement) if you are not in that category I mentioned above.

Talksub:


I fall under the category.. hence I did not upload bank statements ,because it is was not required.

Meanwhile in the WhatsApp group I belong for people who applied via the new portal someone from Philippines got approval in 6 days .

aloskyyoung:


The new portal is extremely fast in processing when you are reuniting with a family member. Last month, I saw someone post about getting approval within 6 working days here.

It’s just normal tourist or visitor visa that is taking long…..Mine is 27 working days today but they still haven’t made decision on the application. Just tired because I need to travel ASAP.

opomulero:


Please can someone now apply for canada visit visa on the new portal?

no family re-union......just tourist visa

spongebobsquare:
Thank you for this swift response. My brother has sent in the signed AL, please where do I upload this- Webform or Email - kindly drop the email address and if you don't mind sharing if? The body of the email. Furthermore, would you advice me to resubmit my application on the new portal as I submitted on the 17th of November from GCkey before learning about this new portal, I received biometric for 18th and got it done on the 25th which was upload immediately but no other update since then.

I will appreciate any other person shading light on this if you have any prior knowledge. Thank you.

Sunkeke:
Hello everyone, I am just here wondering if I am the only one that has application running past the 30 working days window without any response. I initially applied for my parents on June 22 2021 and submitted a second application on the new portal on October 23rd. I raised a webform yesterday but got the generic response that they are only responding to prioritized list of people.
Is there any one in this kind of situation please . I’m beginning to think maybe I did something wrong with the application. I am a PR .Thank you

I doubt this is correct. If you follow the check list and click the last option, I believe it will take you to the old portal.

It seems this is the purpose of the initial assessment.

I may be wrong.

EverGrateful:
Hello,

Please is the new portal down?. I have been receiving error messages when trying to open the portal. Anyone having similar error message? Kindly share.

Thanks.
