Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by odehbrainard: 4:22pm On Feb 19 |
Hello Fam. Submitted my application for a tourist visa today. I had my hotel reservations and tour booking, but didn’t see anywhere I could upload it. Please is there a way to upload added documents after submitting and payment? I am studying in the uk and rounded up February 16th but my visa doesn’t run out till June. I don’t want to stay in canada as am doing very well here in 🇬🇧, my elder sister is a Canadian citizen, I want to surprise her by paying her a visit cause she has visited me twice since I got to the uk a year ago or so. I uploaded my work letter and bank statement, I still want to include my student ID, tour and hotel bookings. Please how do I go about it? Thanks. |

SHITTU4444: Sorry to hear that. Being denied after paying that huge amount of money to an agent is the most painful. What is or are the reasons for the refusal? |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ashirioluwa: 4:58pm On Feb 19 |
SHITTU4444: You can reapply through the new portal or the GCKey account, but make sure you have good amount of money to show as proof of funds. Other option is that you and your wife can apply first, and apply for your kids later. https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en Or Through the GCKey account. But for less paperwork, apply through the first link. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by slimmsyyetty: 4:58pm On Feb 19 |
Sorry about your situation, though. The truth is that Canada study visa is no more a child's play. Gone are the days you can use about N15M POF to apply for at least 1 year course. Now the exchange rate is on a high side and Canada government has increased students annual costs of living to $20000cad which initially was 10k. Even when you would like to convert your vv to study in Canada, it is not cost effective too. To apply for a study visa from Nigeria for the lowest tuition fee for 1 year course(cheapest school is $10kcad plus your $20kcad cost of living=$30kcad) would require nothing less than 35-40M naira POF because you yourself would be needing about 30M naira and you can't let the VO see the account would be empty after removing all the cost of study. Sadly, by September 2024, Canada government would be making it a two year course before you can get a pgwp(if I am not wrong) Now, how would you a 23 years old be able to establish your POF before the VO CONVINCINGLY as self sponsored? What would you tell them you are doing to be able to get such huge amount at your age in Nigeria? What will you use as your family, financial and economic ties to make the VO believe you will come back. Even with your VV application, as a 23 years self sponsor, what docs did you submit? Looking at Nigeria sytem, the VO would think you should either be in school or just graduating. What did you claim you are doing to get yourself a huge money to have sponsored yourself to Canada for a visit? Don't let any agent deceive you having been obvious you are desperate. Don't let them give you fake docs because you go chop ban. Your age is a risk factor, so every docs you submit, the VO would thoroughly screen for authentication to know how genuine it is for you to have acquired such at that tender age in Nigeria. And Canada visit visa now is not about having 3m in your account. Things have gone haywire. Depending on the number days you filled in your application to spend in Canada for hotel booking, flights, feeding e.t.c will cost you about 15M POF, considering return flight is 3m and the exchange rate is high. Now where would you get this as a 23 years? How would you defend the money on how you acquired at a very young age IN NIGERIA?? If I must tell you the truth as my younger blood, channel your energy to Europe through study. There are some universities in Europe that have free or almost free tuition universities. I will try to check some schools in Europe(it's not a promise so please, don't give me pressure on it as it depends on my free time) and put it here, then look for the thread of the country on Nairaland for steps and processes and don't waste your money on ANY AGENT. I wish you all the best Shalom!!! Baloemmy23: 2 Likes |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ashirioluwa: 9:05pm On Feb 19 |
SHITTU4444: Estimate your budget for the proposed trip and see if you have enough money to show as proof of funds. I don't think the cheapest plane tickets for a family of 5 will be less than $7500 during this period. Accommodation is another cost unless you have someone over there who's inviting and willing to accommodate you. I don't think a 10-day accommodation for a family of five in the Toronto area will be less than $2500. Now you still need to figure out feeding and other trip expenses. If the total of your trip expenses is $13,000, it will be nice if you can show proof that you have way more than this amount in your account because they don't expect any individual to spend all his savings on a vacation trip that's not beneficial financially. All my estimates are in US dollars. You can reapply anytime. This is the link below https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en Another alternative is for you and your spouse to apply first due to proof of funds, and once your application and your wife's application have been approved, then you can apply for your children. |

Thanks better person.. Abeg when it’s the right time to apply? Is it towards finishing school by August or now cos of the processing time? slimmsyyetty: |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ashirioluwa: 9:36pm On Feb 19 |
SHITTU4444: Bro, 7.5 million naira is about $5000. This amount is way too small to plan a trip for a family of 2, not to mention a family of 5. As a matter of fact, it's not going to be enough to buy plane tickets for five individuals. I am not here to discourage you, and you are free to reapply anytime you want. This is just my own personal opinion. I am not an agent, an immigration lawyer, or a visa officer. 1 Like |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ashirioluwa: 9:53pm On Feb 19 |
OldwomanWoman: You can apply now because of the processing time, but be the one to invite her as per @slimmsyyetty advice. Even though the children are not traveling with her, she can still upload their birth certificates and family photos under the Additional Documents section as proof of home and family ties. |

gok1979: Congratulations! What is the validity of your visa? Is it 2027 (based on your biometrics expiry date) or the length of your passport? |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by slimmsyyetty: 10:47pm On Feb 19 |
Baba mi.... All I can say is that agents take advantage of the GULLIBLE. Once they just have one client that they managed to get the visa approved, they will use that to lure ignorant people. All they just target is their agent fee One should have known that 7.5M isn't enough for a family of 5, even if dollar was at N700/$1 from the time Tinubu resumed and devalued Naira, much was N1700/$1 as at today. The VO would look at the amount you will have left after removing your travel costs. Cost of hotel booking for the whole family for the number of days they admitted of staying in Canada is not a child's play. Costs of flights alone for the 5 will be 12-15M (assuming the kids are underaged). How about feeding? How about transportation within Canada? Will they still have money in the account if they come back? With the current economic situation(we can't still say where Naira is devaluing to), he must have like 50M as POF because over 12M will go for flights. What if they want to stay for 9-15 days in the hotel + feeding? They must also have left over in the account after the VO remove the cost of travel of 5 of them, and meanwhile, the VO might wonder why spending this much(in case you don't have a strong final and economic ties) if you aren't a business mogul or earning rich as a salary earner as they are the types that can't feel the burden of spending all these huge amount on their family for vacation. Another strategy is when have they decided to travel? Is it when the kids are meant to be in school or during their holidays? A smart person would have paid the school fees of the children for the whole session to prove they are enrolled and submit it as part of docs. You will get the school academic calendar indicating how the session would run as part of docs to prove they are travelling during the period of holiday... Again, what is the occupation of the spouse? How much is she earning? Their statement of account combo can help too. Anyways, I wish him best of luck in his next application Ashirioluwa: 2 Likes |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by slimmsyyetty: 10:52pm On Feb 19 |
Yes!!! Go ahead and apply now because of the processing times as @Ashirioluwa has said. In addition please, indicate with a supporting doc that you are still enrolled (like school ID card or so). If possible, get a letter from your school stating when your course program would be over to further strengthen your prove of current enrollment status. Shalom OldwomanWoman: |
