I would advise you apply on the new IRCC portal. All the best!

Hello house, I will be resuming for Fall session by August ending. When can my spouse apply for visit visa to spend Christmas/new year holiday? Thanks

Please I received my PPR yesterday. I need help on the best place to send my passport to.

I did my biometrics Dec 21, 2021 at the VFS in Lagos. Can I take my documents there physically or do I have to send it via DHL to their office for transmission to a visa office?

Please I need an urgent response, thank you everyone.

They don't accept walk in again. You have to mail it to them with your return label. Make sure you include all the papers you were given when you did your biometric at vfs. Your passport data page with that small yellow receipt vfs gave you.

Please house do I need a transit visa to fly through Lufthansa to Toronto. I want to buy my ticket right now. Just want to be sure. Did people who travelled through Lufthansa has transit visa.

Hello, my friend has a Schengen visitor's visa. Can she travel to Greece or something and apply from there (biometrics etc) instead of from Nigeria? So that her Canadian visa can be processed within 21 days instead of the estimated 160 days from Nigeria. Or does someone have to prove to be a resident of the country they claim to be applying from?

Why not just apply for PR spousal sponsorship? That way, you can spend as much time as you'd like with your family. A visitor's visa application to see your family member when the spousal PR option is available may seem strange to the VO. Unless your wife is pregnant or there is an emergency with your wife or children, it may be hard to get a visitor's visa. You could also engage the services of a solicitor to help with your case.

THIS IS MY STORY:

I submitted my application since September 17 2021 and did my biometrics Feb 3, 2022. It has been hell waiting for a revert and with several mails and webforms. Today, July 4, i finally got a revert. I failed the eligibility. So i was denied visa. Reasons are

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by
paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/
section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will
leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• 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.
• You have significant family ties in Canada

The truth is my wife and children are currently on PR in Canada and i just wanted to visit them and come back as i am not ready to join them now. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Good day House. I have been reading through the pages of this thread and I must commend all the men and women of goodwill who diligently go out of their way to help others here in various ways. Thank you.

I have a situation and I am here to seek advice.

My husband and I applied for visitor visa via the new portal on June 10 with a letter of invitation from my husband's uncle and a letter of introduction from my work place. We did our biometrics on June 20 and have not received any other correspondence.

The situation is that my husband's uncle just passed on this Tuesday and we are at a loss for what to do and how it could affect our visa decision considering that we were to stay at his place during our visit.

I am wondering if I should raise a web form to report this new situation or just wait and see what happens next.

Please I need advice. Thank you.

While she can anywhere but the visa officer will treat her file as a greece resident which will affect her chances because she has no solid connection to greece it will be better if it was in usa as a tourist ..usa and canada share boardee and many apply from usa.

Please house, my brother wants to apply for a visitor visa extension/ renewal . His canada visitor visa expired last year. He used an agent to get the visitor visa years ago and he has travelled in and out canada. I advised him to save his money that I know it’s not hard plus he is even a government official applying with an official passport.
Please house any link to documents and IMM forms needed for visitor visa extension. Is there need for SOP or LOE?

Your contribution would be greatly appreciated.

No you don't need a transit visa because you have Canadian visa already... Safe.

Real sorry about the loss. A very sad one indeed. I will suggest you wait for the outcome except you want to reconsider the neccesity of still travelling

He can apply for a short visit to see you when you have travelled and settled. You guys would have to work on his home ties and make the application seem convincing that he is returning home after his planned stay. However, bear in mind that it is constantly freezing cold during the Christmas period. You guys may hardly go out because of the limited outdoor activities due to snow and cold. It is a bit different from Nigeria, where people hang out often during Christmas, you will be dealing with the heavy cold here.

The best time to visit Canada is in the spring and summer before the cold starts returning. However, you can still go ahead as planned and apply once you have settled in, and you can agree with each other when the approval comes, the best time for him to see you.

Those moniker you quoted are popular with Canada Student visa thread. You can ask them there also if you really want their input.

If Mama has stayed up to or close to 6 months (assuming she is not holding a Super Visa), then what she needs for extension of stay is Visitor Record. She doesn't have to apply as a fresh applicant. You may also wish to note that she is expected to apply for the Extension of Stay at least 30 days before the 6 months is up.

You can Google how to apply for Visitor Record.

If you fail to provide updated information about the death of the person who's inviting you, you'll be withholding information material to your application. The consequences would be severe even if it was discovered after you visa is issued. Pls do send a webform to update the information.

I am sorry about the refusals, and salute your bravery in making things right.

Proof of funds should demonstrate that you have enough cash budget to cover your accommodation, feeding, transportation, living, and miscellaneous expenses in case of an unforeseen occurrence.

In your next application, you can draft an official response letter. Maybe tag the heading as "Letter of Intent" or "Letter of Explanation – Proof of Finance". Think of your likely expenses and explain to the V.O. how much you have available for that purpose. After addressing all these item by item, it would be better if these total budgeted expenses were less than your bank statement's closing balance. For instance, your entire budget expense for your trip equals 4,0000 Canadian dollars (₦1,800,000), assuming an official exchange rate of (450 naira to a dollar).

It would make sense in this instance for your balance to be much more, maybe 6,666.7 Canadian dollars (₦3,000,000). The higher, the better.
These would help you fully demonstrate that you have ₦1,800,000 = $4,0000 set aside for your trip and would still leave you with total savings of ₦1,200,000 = $2,666.7 to be utilized for your immediate needs when you get back to your home country.

You can also ensure the bank statement you present is a functioning bank statement that shows a consistent inflow of funds. The constant inflows can be from salary payments from your job or cash sales paid by your customers for your business, but please avoid a lumpsum deposit. In case you have a lumpsum deposit, you would need to explain it but better to avoid it, except if this was a result of an earned income, maybe a massive bonus from work, a 13th-month salary or huge sales from your business. In this case, explain with documentary proof.

Also, don't forget to be consistent in demonstrating your home ties and other basic requirements so you can keep scoring positive weighting in those areas since the V.O. was silent on that.

N.B: The assumption of 450 naira to 1 dollar was used in the explanation above. You can check the present official exchange rate.

Success in your next attempt.
