rockachic: Hi, Your child might need time to settle in and get used to the system. It also allows you to build your funds in your account. The minimum amount for proof of funds for a super visa for a family of one person (assuming you and your daughter ) is $25,921 based on the published IRCC guidelines, but the higher the amount, the better. My suggestion on not applying so soon is to give some time to build your proof of funds and plan towards getting the Canadian medical insurance coverage with a minimum insurable coverage of $100,000. I am unsure of the premium you will pay, but the insurance company should be able to advise. But, don’t forget that despite being a super visa, you would still need to prove ties to your home country. The same probability of return test on a regular visit visa also applies to a super visa. I would still suggest you wait for your GCMS note to arrive before applying if you think you are ready to file your application. I understand the anxiety regarding your child being alone but she would be fine. All the best! |

Hello everyone, My nephew and niece's visit visa applications were recently cancelled by IRCC while their father's own whom they applied with is still intact on the profile. A little history: They had applied since 2020 (was recently withdrawn by IRCC) but resubmitted in October 2021(this is the one cancelled by IRCC on monday, the 13th of June) after they said they must re-submit. They applied with their father. Their mother is a student in Canada since 2019 and it was stated that they will be with her for the remaining duration of her study time. They had done their medicals twice because the first expired. What can be the matter? They have applied for GCMS notes though but would like hints on what may have gone wrong. Thank you. |

Hi, @olasubomy please I need your advice/suggestion. I submitted a visit application in May and till date I am yet to get the biometrics instruction letter. I have not applied to Canada before, and I have been through my application form again and again, I stated that I have not done biometrics in the past. I have sent email to the Nairobi office and filled webform to no avail. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Candybright: 10:15pm On Jun 15, 2022 |
meeyna:Where have you been checking for the letter? Login to your profile, it should be there. If not, you may have to email them. Its strange though because it usually arrive about 24hours after submission |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by olasubomy: 10:55pm On Jun 15, 2022 |
meeyna: Meeyna, Keep sending them webforms and e-mails. You can do a screenshot or snip tool of the section of your portal where you should see the biometric instruction letter. Let your screenshot show the dates column. Attach this screen shot to your mails and also paste on the body of the e-mail so when the officer sees it, they understand the problem immediately. Tag your mail "Urgent" and you can also address Abuja office - ABUJA-IM-Enquiry@international.gc.ca You should get a resolution soon. |

Because our 30 days submission will remain 2 days by the time we back. Thank you |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by olasubomy: 3:46am On Jun 17, 2022 |
Adesinm: Congratulations on your approval. Yes, you guys can send your passport to the Canada visa application centre (CVAC) in the United States. Dont forget to have your biometric slip handy (which was given to you when you went for biometrics). The VFS in the United States has a slightly different style on the documentation you need to gather, so you would have to send them an e-mail at info.canny@vfshelpline.com. They would respond to you with full details on what you need to do. United States has two states where you can send your passport to CVAC for stamping. New York and Los Angeles. I strongly advise you to plan to send your passport to Los Angeles; and it is faster and takes less than two weeks. New York is busy and might not be as fast as that of Los Angeles. You guys can go ahead with your travel plans but plan to start the process once you settle in the United States so you can have your passport back early. Safe travels in advance. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello, So while the application was taking forever we sent a couple of webforms and also contacted an MP. We just got a response from the MP after the application was refused and the following were sent to the MP as reasons for the refusal: 1. Applicant failed to provide proof to prove the mother and daughter relationship to (name of daughter) 2. Applicant's reason to visit is to attend the ex-husband's wedding, however, applicant did not provide any evidence to prove that she is legally separated or divorced with the ex-husband. 3. Applicant stated on her application that she is in retail / Security verification: wholesale business, however, she is not able to provide any income proof or personal fund for the visit. Tho I made a silly mistake, I felt they should have requested for those documents especially because it's stated on the portal that if they needed more documents they will request for them. Also the 3rd reason they gave is not true because I submitted my statement of account with the application. Meanwhile the reasons for refusal that was sent to the MP is different from the ones listed in the refusal letter. These are the reasons listed in the refusal letter: • You do not have significant family ties outside Canada. • The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application. • Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable). My hosts stated in the Invitation letter that they will be paying for my flight, feeding and also accommodate me and bank statements were attached to support their claim, I also submitted my bank statements. So that last reason is a bit confusing I am wondering if the reasons sent to the MP is what is in my GCMS note since it's more detailed. I have not requested for my GCMS notes, I don't know if I should still do that. I really appreciate your prompt responses and contributions to this thread, God bless you abundantly. olasubomy: |

ninab: No rule says you can't apply for a visit visa outside your home county, but you need to be careful about 1: home ties and 2. Duration of time you would be away from Nigeria You would have to consider the combined period you intend to spend in the United States and the period you plan to stay in Canada. Both countries share information, and they would be able to track that you are currently in the United States on a visit visa. Let's look at it from different scenarios. 1. For someone who has extensive travel history to the United States without any record of an overstay, the immigration status won't be an issue if the person decides to apply for a visa to Canada. However, the applicant would still have to prove that he. or she has something doing in Nigeria that would compel the person to return home. E.g. if you have a leave approval from your job that covers the period of absence from your work and away from Nigeria, that might fly with the immigration officer. 2. The person does not have extensive travel history but is in the United States on a first-time US visa. Applying to Canada for a visit visa from the United States might be seen as a high risk by the immigration officer. Their thought would be this applicant's period of stay is almost expiring, and the person is trying to use Canada as an escape route. It might even be riskier if they don't assign higher positive weighting scores on the home ties. Overall, it is better to apply for your visa from Nigeria and then attach your US visit visa as evidence that you have a USA Non-Immigrant visa. This document would improve your chances. This process might take time, but your chances are higher. Those who have applied for a visit visa to Canada from the USA can also share their experiences and add their input. 1 Like |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by olasubomy: 4:50am On Jun 17, 2022 |
rockachic: I think you should still request your GCMS notes so you can be assured that you are not leaving anything out. You would need to address the visa officer's concerns in your next application. 1. I think their first point is straightforward. You can attach the birth certificates of your daughter and yourself, and you can also attach two samples of old pictures you took with your daughter. 2. As stated in my earlier response to you, try to be silent as much as possible about your ex-husband in your purpose of visit to Canada and focus more on your visit to your daughter. However, make sure you work on the concerns of the immigration officer regarding documentary proof of separation or divorce, then attach that to your next application. You can still declare him in your form and then tick (divorced or separation) as applicable because what you filled in your first application regarding your bio details must be consistent with what you would fill in the re-application. 3. They are expecting you to attach evidence of your claim in the retail business. Are you an employee, they would expect to see a reference letter from your organization to the embassy and perhaps you are the owner of the business, you can plan to attach your incorporation documents and evidence of last tax returns filed. 4. Proof of Funds – My suggestions as earlier mention is you give sometime and build your proof of funds but please avoid lumpsum deposits as you build. I can sense you are really in a hurry to apply again but I would suggest you wait for your GCMS note and take your time to build a strong application so you can get it right the next time but regardless, its your call. |

Thank you so much. I am not applying now, i am just trying to gather enough information before my next application. As advised in no 2, i wont be mentioning him as much in my next application, the reason he was referenced a lot in my last application is because part of my reasons for traveling was to also attend his wedding and that would have been done before my next application. I submitted my business registration documents as well as tax documents in my last application, i dont know how they skipped that. olasubomy: |
