My thoughts exactly. Could it be that she applied via a drop box but the VO later served her a 221g for a follow up visa interview? Some applicants wouid seek help but only provide us with half baked information. The delay in her application, given her travel history raises some concerns, TBH. Whatever it is. I wish her good luck.

Nobody is a VO here. We all learn from the experiences of others.

Too much assumptions, and the type of scrutiny one get here is more than that of a VO.

I submitted my application without itinerary, can send it through webform

Hello everyone,

I submitted my Canadian visitor visa application on Feb 16, and I completed my biometrics on Feb 29.

I need to travel to Canada urgently. Is there any way to expedite the application process?

I am divorced and applied with my three children. We traveled together to the UK and Germany last year, and now I want to take them to Canada for a vacation. Their father is covering the trip costs, and I included his consent in the application. I am concerned if my divorced status will impact the application outcome.

I initially intended to go for study, so I underwent a medical examination as part of my application. The latest status I can see is that I passed the medical examination. Will this affect my application, and will they be aware that I did it with the intention of obtaining a student visa?

There is no way to expedite your canada tourist application process for vacation as it is not an emergency . Your medical examination will not affect your visa application, as the system just updated based on your matching profile from the upfront medical test but you did not submit a student visa application and your divorce status should not have an effect on your application, considering your good travel record. Still, hope for the best.l wish u all the best

I also forgot to mention in my last post that my ex-husband, the father of my children is a US citizen. He included the data page of his US passport. Will that be an advantage?

Do you know when we can expect a decision?

The man usa passport has no effect on processing time ; it serves as proof of parentage. The man is not a canadian citizen and not a resident but Having a USA visa can expedite Canada visa processing, currently taking about 5 to 6 months even many people that applied in october 2023 are yet to recieve any respond . Anyone in urgent need of a visa like canada visa without a USA visa should consider alternatives, canada visa processing is not fast , as a respond before June seems unlikely in ur case. Most provinces will start issuing attestation letters for student visa processing this month , leading to a mass influx of student applications next month for September entry , increasing the workload. IRCC will likely prioritize student visas over visitor visas, potentially impacting visitor visa processing as well.

This is a tale of resilience and faith, a narrative that underscores the belief that setbacks are not roadblocks but rather detours guiding us towards our ultimate destination. In the face of unexpected challenges, it's crucial to maintain forward momentum, trusting in the natural unfolding of events.

Last December it was disappointment when my application for a tourist visa was rejected. Instead of dwelling on this setback, I refocused my energy on my business pursuits. Yet, the dream of relocating to Canada with my wife, who is a nurse, persisted within us. Two years earlier, we had explored this possibility, but my wife's evaluation, particularly her IELTS score, didn't meet the criteria for the express entry pool as the point is less than 400 . Despite the option for her to apply independently, she insisted on our journey together.

Seeking guidance from a travel agent, we received discouraging news about the lengthy and uncertain process involved. However, our plans to visit Canada as tourists were abruptly halted when my visa application was declined. It was during this time that a friend in Canada, who had previously utilized the same agent, shared his experience of obtaining a work permit. but even if l have got the visa, my faith in God and his teaches will have prevented me from pursuing that type route , and I harbored no judgment towards him or anybody . It became apparent that many individuals in Canada who arrive with tourist visa were not saying the truth about the path used to secure the fast work permit .

Then, in a remarkable turn of events, my wife received an invitation just yesterday to apply for permanent residency in Ontario through the Express Entry pool. With her low score as a registered nurse, NOC 31301, a new avenue towards our Canadian dream emerged.

This journey has imparted a profound lesson: that the plans of a higher power often unfold in unforeseen ways. What initially seemed like a setback ultimately paved the way for a greater opportunity. It serves as a poignant reminder that God's timing is always impeccable, surpassing our own aspirations.

Ultimately, it's not the obstacles themselves that define us, but rather our resilience in overcoming them. Through unwavering faith and perseverance, we find ourselves on the precipice of a new chapter in our lives. Indeed, the mysterious workings of divine God often bring blessings when least expected... and to the one calling me a failure ..l will advice you have alternative plan for yourself too should in-case visa approved or denial because tourist visa is not a right but a privilege and it does not define anybody success or achievement .l wish everybody all the best

All this epistle you wrote doesn't implies honestly, as happiness is indeed free. Before you can actually move forward you need to forgive yourself for putting all your eggs in a basket ,this is what is making you act childishly unfortunately I'm not part of those your can cajole because you and I know all this your are indeed claiming are false narrative, LoLs. Going forward you need to be diversified as such you don't allow rejection break you down. You should have known that VV isn't a part way to relocating but relaxation and sight views. You need to sort for an alternative instead of been desperate and what if travelling isnt in your destiny , you can't force it on yourself as relocating is for only who God has destiny to relocate. You don't have to come up here and cook a tales to suit your narative as this is a faceless platform where everyone is richer than in real life. I doubt you can be heal with the history of your failure still fresh in your mind and if you continue like this, certainly you won't scale through going forward as rejection is always certain.

Notice: Be happy with yourself first, and stop been bitter. I'm wishing you the very best.

There is nothing half baked about what I wrote because there is no need to, I already wrote i wasnt qualified for a dropbox, so dont assume im lying, i didnt applied through Dropbox or given a 221g, this was an interview I booked myself a year ago even before I got pregnant for normal visit before I changed it to childbirth after all I was showing , thanks

Alright then, I wish you good luck

I believe everything should have been normalized by now as a lot of people boycotted their airline from Nigeria after travelers were raising their complaints with the way they were being treated enroute Adisababa to Canada towards the end of last year.

Were you invited? If yes, have a copy of your invitation letter with you, the contact of such person should be available in case they want to reach him/her on your case (like they did late last year. Can you imagine?). Have your phone connected to internet, also. If you are going as a tourist, hold your hotel booking along with you even if you are staying with someone else. You may cancel immediately you have passed POE. Let your work ID be on your phone to show you are working legitimately at home, let your debit card be with you. Be ready for them from any angle. NO GREE FOR ETHIOPIAN AIRLINE OO

Above all, I wish you a stress free journey and please, come back to share your experience at Adisababa to see if they have relaxed their tough rule on blacks when you finally land in Canada

Hi, landed Toronto on Tuesday. No issues at all, except in lagos where the person that was supposed to print my boarding pass started asking unnecessary questions, say what’s the purpose of my visit , I told him I’m visiting my Aunty, he asked to see her PR card but I told her she’s a citizen, baba asked to see her passport. I had to call my aunt in the middle of the night to send her passport which she did, the man still complained that the passport has expired, that’s how my Aunty lost her cool, she went like “what the f is wrong with you people in Nigeria, does expiration of my passport take away my citizenship Bola bla bla “ , baba sha print my boarding pass and allow me go. Landed Addis Ababa and no question at all, landed Toronto, they just asked what I’m coming in with. Less than 2 minutes, I was cleared. Unfortunately I missed my flight to Calgary cos I couldn’t get my checked baggage, Air Canada rescheduled the flight for me , I waited 3 hours for the next flight . Toronto wasn’t cold as expected, I thought that’s how everywhere would be until I got to Calgary, the cold rushed me as I stepped out of the airport, I ran back in. Thanks to God and everyone here, safely home and adjusting. Best of luck to everyone expecting. And may God heal Nigeria, cos just few days here, I found out Nigeria is like 500 years behind.

Slimmsyyerty pls I need to have a chat with you concerning my application, I submitted my visiting application on September 10, 2023 and I got a reply on March 7, that I have been refused, pls I need your kind advice and the necessary documents to provide because I want to reapply, thanks

Good afternoon everyone, thanks for all the update and information.
Please what is the waiting period before VO decision on canada visiting visa? I did my biometric on the 23/10/2023. First time applicant and no travel history. I'm applying from Lagos, Nigeria. I applied via an agent who did for my 2close friends.
I anticipate your kind response.

Hello, you can keep your bitterness to yourself. I do not need your validation for my life. i give all glory to God My wife got nominated for Ontario, and we've started gathering documents to begin our PR application. You may be envious of another person's journey. I wish you success in your tourist visa application, but research well—LMIA is extremely challenging now. Many are obtaining work permits on visitor visas through asylum, a bitter truth that many people won't tell you, according to a friend. I advise others to delve deep into the Express Entry a path way to permanent resident . I guess this bitter person is unaware of it. atleast he mention in is earlier post how is brother paid heavy for a fraudulent LMIA when lmia is free according to Canada govt if u truly qualify for it and it has show you are the desperate fellow from the way you constantly approach any view about tourist visa as if your life depend on it especially when you category tourist visa as pass or fail rating in your life.

Debbieeeeeee:

I’m happy for to read this good news of you and your wife. Eventually you’ll land as a Pr holder and not a TRV holder. God is good, every slight set back is not an absolute denial. Regardless of your scores remain in the pool that’s my advise to everyone exploring the PR pathway.

thank you,God's timing is perfect, turning setbacks into opportunities

Good afternoon everyone, I have been following this thrend since September last year, when I submitted my visiting visa, but on 7th of March I was denied, with the following reasons, the vo said that your current employment situation does not show you are financially established in your country of residence, the purpose of 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 lastly i am not satisfied tgat you will leave Canada at the end of your stay.....
The statement of account that I used is 19.4million
I have cac, my vehicle document worth 4.5million, landed property worth 8 million family photo, date of birth og all themmember of the family.
Please I wanted to reapply, I need your kind information to provide necessary information and the documents to correct of what the vo said
Thanks

What are the documents you submitted to back your statement of account?any receipt or invoice? Salary pay slips?did your account showed money coming in as salary (financially established)how long have you been working? Letter from your office? Employment letter( current employment)mployment and SOP? Those are part of strong documents that shows you are financial strong tie that you need to work on.

I am a Canadian permanent resident myself who arrived from Nigeria as a PR holder. I can confirm that the process is fast after you are nominated. The next step is to apply for permanent resident status and mostly within six months, if all your documents are completed, you will be granted the PR. It hurts my heart and I feel sad when I see young Nigerians in canada , even with master's degrees, claiming asylum based on greedy agent advice when all they need to do is take the IELTS and wait in the pool. I hope you will pursue your dreams and goals legally and responsibly.

I laughed when I read the part where you said you ran back when the cold hit you hahaha, I still dey laff here. Reminiscent of my very first travel experience. I also ran back inside the airport.

Calgary is OK naw. Try and visit Qubec. You'd not want to step out of the house. Nigeria's economy has been so battered and no thanks to our successive bad leaders. Don't worry, they'd all meet their waterloo. US, Canada, even Germany are a different world. You have to think twice once you're there about returning home and that's why many of our youths seek asylum with a TRV . It's really terrible. Those of us here can't employ everyone. It was a hard decision for me to return home after my studies. I took a great risk but its worth it. I thank God for giving me the listening ears

You're in a different world once you're in those countries. It will only take the grace of God for our youths to heed our advice of coming back home after their visit. It's well with Nigeria.

Am self employed (am into real estate) and I have been working for 10years, I provide landed documents but I don't do valuation, I have cac but i donk have tax clearance, no invoice and receipt to back my pof (my statement of account is 19.8m) and the sop is very weak, I have apply before i come across this thrend, please i need who can help me with itinerary letter so that i dont fail this time around and any help you can render and supporting documents that I need to provide, i appreciate your concern and may almighty God help you

mamawa123:

Have never been to that place b4. I'd and try visit someday.

I am sincerely sorry for my late response 🙏

Your POF is sufficient but unfortunately Canada government looks far beyond your account statement ALONE. It's not just funding your account with millions. There are so many things you need to do to show how legitimately you earn your income, aside other factors like family ties, among many others before you can be considered admissible. IRCC doesn't give a damn about our BILLIONS if we can't show them how we earn it, LEGITIMATELY

Firstly, how old is your CAC Certificate even though you might have been working for 10 years? Is it still active when IRCC carries out online search on your company. Do you file your annual returns because that is what would make it active? Aside these, you need to show them proof that your company is ACTIVE, RUNNING, FUNCTIONAL, and the CAC Certificate isn't just for demonstration purpose. How then can you show this? Through tax income clearance, business invoices (plus receipts) AND A GOOD CASH FLOW. Lump sum deposit with detailed explanation and evidences on how it was acquired is easily convinced to accept when you have a very good cash flow( credit and debit flows) steadily running on your account, already. But when you hardly run your account or you run it a lot with a few thousand or the narrative on the account statement for which the money was debited or deposited isn't business related that much on the overall POF - then lump sum may not EASILY WORK. This is where some people missed it...

Please, never blame yourself because you were unaware of so many things as regards to this. Now that you have a lot of information at your disposal, sail your ship again and REFIRE!!!

Make sure your CAC is active(i.e. if it is inactive). Get business invoices (customized with your company's name, logo and office address) and submit about 5-6 copies with different dates and months. Let the name, date and amount on the invoice tally with the date, name and amount that would be credited in your account. If you get a receipt of anything (that is business related), ensure the amount on the receipt correspond to the amount that would be debited from your account. So while writing your LOE under your employment status narrative, you make reference to them.
** make sure your tax income clearance is directly proportional to the income you claim your business generates *** You can't submit a tax clearance of 50k for an account that generated a lot of millions within six months alone.
**If you care, as a self employed applicant, you may attach a sworn affidavit of income declaration**
**In your LOE, write a detailed itinerary tour plan. Briefly explain your purpose of going and the benefits. Indicate the date you will arrive, where you would stay(name of hotel if you weren't invited) and where you would visit each day of your stay. In fact, indicate a day to shop for your wife, children and parents to gifts them this item when you return home. Indicate the day you would depart Canada.
**Book for a hotel but don't pay. Make sure the date from your arrival to departure on your application form and LOE correspond to your hotel booking. Be strategic and let your hotel be within where you would mostly tour. For instance, if you are touring Niagara, let your hotel be near Niagara. There are some hotels that would charge you $1 on your dollar card to keep your booking till you cancel despite indicating you are paying on your arrival. Never mind if a decision didn't arrive before your intended travel date. IRCC knows that one is beyond your control. The essence is just to show a correlation on your travel dates REPEATEDLY- in your application form, as explained in your LOE and the evidence on your hotel booking.

**For your landed doc, submit the deed of assignment that legalized your ownership and submit the current market value( current worth)**
**Do you have a valuable car(not 30 years old model)? If yes, submit your proof of car ownership.

**Family tie shouldn't be neglected, too.

I wish you success

Shalom

Thanks for your feedback sis. Glad to hear your journey was stress-free except for that baba with a touch of craze😄.....otherwise, would he say someone who had an expired Nigerian Int'l passport has DIRECTLY ALSO LOST HIS CITIZENSHIP despite living in Nigeria? Anyways, I love how your aunt put him in his place.

Annoyingly, it's not that baba doesn't know, he was only looking for victims who don't know their fundamental rights to ask him...."please help us, what then can we do😅? And boom...💥...baba goes home with a cool cash😄

And yes, Canada has a different weather condition across the provinces just as Jos is known to be extremely cold than many other states in Nigeria. Toronto is part of the warmest city in Ontario but don't try Thunder-Bay😁.....


On Nigeria matter, for the sake of my families and loved ones in *stone age Nigeria*, I will just say amen to your prayer🙌......MAY GOD HEAL NIGERIA.

Please, have fun and have a memorable stay in the MARPLE LAND🥳

Your second to the last paragraph really got me emotional. All we need is good leadership and everything will fall in line. There's nothing wrong with us.

Early 80s. Before buhari/idiagbon took power, Nigeria was out of place though we had a decent economy. It was buhari/idiagbon who taught Nigerians how to queue in public places. Everyone would just want to get served simultaneously. Buhari's second coming had really exposed his weakness of the 80s. This made us know for a fact that it was actually idiagbon who was ruling Nigeria back then while buhari was just a figurehead. Many said this back then but their claims couldn't be substantiated. They were right.

Nigeria is a lovely country cos we had everything to earn us a decent life. I can say I've seen it all out there and I've weighed all the options. Here's 100% better, but with good leadership. Most of our problems are man made. Imagine Indians and Chinese thronging Nigeria while Nigerians are running away.

We serve the health and oil and gas sectors of our economy in my company and we get busy all year round. We attend trainings at least once with our partners in North America in a year and suffice it to say I travel to NA twice a year. There's a lab-based company in Canada begging to have a distributor in Nigeria and we're still talking. 2 Nigerians are working with them, one as a truck driver who graduated from UI and another a lab scientist. If I had my way and I agreed to partner, I'd pull the Nigerian truck driver back home to head my logistics unit. With a decent leader in place, he wouldn't be doing that type of job as an Msc Holder in Agric Econs in Canada.

Everyone can't be like me cos it was a tough decision I made after my studies to return home. Only 1 out of 100 Nigerians in Canada and USA would try that after seeing good houses, good roads, nice locations and daily meals and you are now asking them to come back home. It would sound weird to them. It was my plan to return home cos before I left Nigeria in 2004, I had seen opportunities staring me in the face. I only came back to tap it. Before I came back, Indians were dominant in the sector. Through the Nigeria local content, I was able to reduce them to size. Till today, our oil and gas clients pay in dollars. I always write lengthy words to encourage our people out there. Rome wasn't built in a day. Rome had her bad moments too before it became the Rome of their dreams. We knew how Canada was formed too. I don't even know the name of the majority of our leaders . I only hear of tinubu and his vice because I had no business with them. I don't know if they exist or not. The only thing that affects me is their policy, which also affects everyone.

My dear brothers and sisters, pls go to Canada or US, look beyond your nose and search for opportunities, bring it home cos market over there is saturated. No new thing under heaven anymore over there. Nigeria is a virile land for opportunities. In 2018, I was at NLNG in Bomny Island. There was this white whom they told me earned almost 10k usd monthly. He's a CCIE Engineer. He enjoyed free education for kids, free accommodation, free travel tickets to his country, free this and free that. I was like...whaaat! I told my cousin to go get the certificate. CCIE exam is lab-based . I loaned him the money to get it in Canada or US but there were some registration hitches cos they used to move the exams to different locations. I now asked him to write the exam in DXB. It was fairly cheaper there and the certificate he was holding had already qualified him to write the exam. He passed and I said omo, go search for the relevant position. The NLNG guy was still there but he got one in Canada. The salary was wild...almost 9k usd, as a single guy monthly but I told him to manage it. Anytime there's space here, he's coming back. As we speak, no CCIE engineer who is a Nigerian here yet. These are the opportunities youths who are japaing should seek cos work and money go find you taya. Enough said

All I can say is that you must really be strong for you to have decided to go back despite having a lot of opportunities TO *LEGALIZED* YOUR STAY, which I must commend it's a big risk🙌. As tough as I believe as I am, there are somethings I can't risk ....except by DIVINE INSTRUCTION with serious conviction😁

Sometimes, I do tell my old parents their generation put us in this mess because they refused to do the needful.....protest or riot for the sake of their children to enable them have a better tomorrow. Instead they all PROCREATED and kept saying Nigeria would be better till we got to this point, thereby letting us witness a failed government where we will have to struggle. God will have to come to your aid if you weren't born with a silver spoon😁. Meanwhile, these are the two LEGAL ways of surviving in Nigeria....either you were born with a silver spoon or you have a divine(God) backup

I find it crazy that my old parents don't have any benefits from the government of Nigeria after tax deduction from their active years as workers. I mean not even one single benefit. No monthly allowance, no free medical or what would cost the government to give them a free transportation even if it is limited for a certain time every month. No subsidy for them as senior citizens. How about infants and little children? What benefits are they getting from the government?
Mehn...my experience abroad had made me given up on Nigeria. Reason why all I could say in my previous comment was "AMEN" because discussing Nigeria issues break my heart like someone that was jilted...😒🤧

Eriokanmi:
Your second to the last paragraph really got me emotional. All we need is good leadership and everything will fall in line. There's nothing wrong with us.

Early 80s. Before buhari/idiagbon took power, Nigeria was out of place though we had a decent economy. It was buhari/idiagbon who taught Nigerians how to queue in public places. Everyone would just want to get served simultaneously. Buhari's second coming had really exposed his weakness of the 80s. This made us know for a fact that it was actually idiagbon who was ruling Nigeria back then while buhari was just a figurehead. Many said this back then but their claims couldn't be substantiated. They were right.

Nigeria is a lovely country cos we had everything to earn us a decent life. I can say I've seen it all out there and I've weighed all the options. Here's 100% better, but with good leadership. Most of our problems are man made. Imagine Indians and Chinese thronging Nigeria while Nigerians are running away.

We serve the health and oil and gas sectors of our economy in my company and we get busy all year round. We attend trainings at least once with our partners in North America in a year and suffice it to say I travel to NA twice a year. There's a lab-based company in Canada begging to have a distributor in Nigeria and we're still talking. 2 Nigerians are working with them, one as a truck driver who graduated from UI and another a lab scientist. If I had my way and I agreed to partner, I'd pull the Nigerian truck driver back home to head my logistics unit. With a decent leader in place, he wouldn't be doing that type of job as an Msc Holder in Agric Econs in Canada.
