So sorry about this , what was the documents provided by the person inviting you

olasubomy:


It depends on your responses when you were filling your application. That's mostly what CBSA look at when they ask questions. Also, sometimes CBSA can throw the question " How much do you have with you" you cant say , I don't have any money so better to have some cash either gotten through PTA or black market.

letsfarmnigeria:


How many days have you ordered the GCMS notes

Karmora:


I ordered 30th of June that’s 19days now .

lizcom25:


Invitation letter. My wife precisely
Payslip
By then she hasn't gotten her PR Card which she now has
Work identity

letsfarmnigeria:

With her PR card she has more stand , but if you have landed documents , or share certificates or any investment documents it will help show you have home ties that will make come back after the visit

tempzi:


Okay, thanks. apart from my bank card, what's the minimum cash to have in hand? Like for a 2 weeks trip

lizcom25:


Yes. Those are what am working on now.

Thanks for your responses

Hello all,

Please how can one contact a member of parliament? Thanks

olasubomy:


The amount of cash to travel with is dependent on your situation. Your responses at the port of entry would have to speak to what you declared when you applied for the visa. That being the basis, you have been approved. That means the officer is satisfied with the amount you declared to be expensed for your planned two-week stay.

You would need to demonstrate to the officer that you have XXXX cash, which would be accessible for your visit. You know better what amount was declared and how much you intend to come with. You need to prepare your response in case you are asked.

The most important thing is defending it and convincing the officer that the amount would be assessable to you if this is entirely in your bank card, but I think you should have some in physical cash. However, physical cash of 10,000 dollars and above would need to be declared at the port of entry.

Thanks bro

Hello all,

For visit visa, he does not need. The officer may just ask for letter of authorization from his dad giving his consent to travel with you since he is till a minor but depends on the officer.

Teemie22:
Hello, I need LOE samples, I’m not satisfied with what I’m seeing on google.

LINK TO THE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT

https://www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en/search

Search for the member in the city where you intend to visit. However, they would only respond if the person making enquiry is in Canada.

You can ask someone in Canada to contact them on your behalf if you are not in Canada.

olasubomy:


Are you referring to letter of explanation for Student visa. Letter of Explanation for student visa is mostly common with applicants who have been refused and applying again. See this video below. I think this guy did justice on how to draft letter of explanation. You can adjust to your situation but avoid PLAGIARISM

DETAILED GUIDE ON LETTER OF EXPLANATION (LOE)

I don't think you will find a ready-made of such online. You need to do an official response letter and sectionalise each refusal grounds and explain the change in your situation or what you have done differently to be eligible in that criteria. You can still take some clues from those posted online for study permits.

I can try to find time to put some guides together and paste it here if I get the chance.

dwal:
Thank you. i know that is very clear. why asking is that does it mean they IRCC will take decision soon or not because travel date is August 1st.
Moreover, i will be applying for UK student visa soon for September intakes am just confused. i need a guidance. if canada respond on time i will prefer it.

Teemie22:
I guessed I used the wrong term, what I meant is letter written to VO to explain purpose of visit.
