I don't want to convince you o, but considering your age for visit visa , do you think your brother statement will be fine to sponsor you. If its study visa now better but hmm your brother want to sponsor you for a visit visa? He can not put some money in your account and you become a staff with a document that back it up, like working in the same company as a second job or you know what im saying.smiley then u dont need him to sponsor.

you want to apply to get the visa or you want to try your luck ?

no mind me sha.

Good Morning house, I need some advise to apply for a visitor visa for my wife and the kids to come and visit me in Canada.

Also, i recently applied for a semester break to resume my second semester in September 2024 instead of May 2024, which is already approved and i was issued a leave approval letter from the school.

My question now is that should i include the leave approval letter for semester break in their application or i should not mention it? because i mentioned i needed a semester break due to unexpected marriage conflict in the course of my absence around my family, which has increasingly been difficult for me to concentrate with my studies and this really affecting my mental health.

Can i also state this as their reason to visit me in Canada for duration of 2 weeks?

Can they stay in the hotel during their visit in Canada

Note: They were recently refused in January 2024 for SOWP & Study visa for the kids because i didn't included my own bank account and despite that my wife had a sufficient funds in her bank account with the proof of funds.

Your insight is highly needed

Thanks

Is the wife and kid the same black America fiancé you’re hoping to get a marriage based Green card from? I hope you know that the US and Canada share immigration information? If you’ve previously told Canadian immigration that you’re married, you can’t change that now. If you do get a divorce this year and apply for a k1 visa this year, be sure to know that it will be refused and if you are caught lying like I suspect you will, you may be banned for life.

Good morning house, i got my passport request yesterday, but then my passport expired and i renewed it while waiting for IRCC to decide on my application. Pls do i need to raise a webform to inform them that i have a new passport and also after raising the webform do i have to wait for acreply before sending my passport

This happened to me and I called the agent I applied through and they told me to include my old passport and a letter indicating I got a new passport, though in my case I did a name change on my passport and my old passport was collected at immigration so I just wrote the letter and included the old passport’s ID
Hope this helps

Please what’s the best way to book a flight and hotel reservation that’s valid for visa application without payment.

When applying for a Canadian tourist visa, demonstrating your ability to afford the trip is crucial. Here's a helpful tip: Instead of making actual reservations, visit an airline's website or Wakanow, select your intended travel dates, and take a screenshot of the booking page showing the cost. Do the same for a hotel on Booking.com and capture a screenshot displaying the price.

Along with these screenshots, write a letter detailing the estimated costs for your flight, hotel, and daily expenses, and explain how you plan to cover these costs. This method is usually sufficient.

Visa officers primarily want to see that you can afford the trip. Prepaying for a hotel or flight doesn't necessarily prove this. Instead, they consider various factors such as your employment, property ownership, travel history, and bank statements. These elements collectively demonstrate your financial stability and ability to fund your trip.

Attached is a sample showing the cost of a trip at about 3 million Naira for the flight. When you add the hotel about 1m , you should be looking at no less than 10 million Naira in the account to show you can afford the trip without going bankrupt to finance a tourist trip

I have gotten another bank statement from June as at the start date of the previous one till 31st may 2024. The pages are 96 pages and wen scanned is like 52mb. The agent said its too large to compress it to 2mb. I got reference letter too. Even from Jan till date is like 52 pages. How else do i handle d situation because i will still add my updated payslip and other pof docs alongside




House34:


Visa officers do contact banks directly but not in every situation to verify statements of account. They typically use Document Analysis, where they look for signs of tampering, inconsistencies, or anomalies in the documents. Verification Tools, which refer to various databases and software, are also used to cross-check and verify the information provided in financial documents. These tools help identify inconsistencies, detect fraudulent activities, and confirm the authenticity of the documents by comparing them against known data sources and patterns.
However, these methods are not always perfect and can sometimes result in errors. Therefore, if there are doubts or discrepancies, visa officers often give applicants a chance to explain and provide additional information to clarify the situation

What you need to do now is defend the authenticity of the bank statement you submitted. You're claiming that the bank statement you provided is genuine and not fabricated. Your best bet is to use "mybankstatement" and indicate to the visa officer that perhaps the previous statement lost its quality due to printing and rescanning, but "mybankstatement" shows the exact same period. The officer should compare, and you're 100% sure it's real, eliminating the need for a payslip. "Mybankstatement," the reference letter, and a letter of explanation from you will solve this problem. I've seen a case like this with a student, where it was due to bad scanning, but he opted for "mybankstatement" and a reference letter from the bank confirming the genuineness of the bank statement, along with a letter from the student explaining he now chose "mybankstatement" which show exactly same period and not altered and the visa was approved. you applied last year so even if you want to use printed version again ,you just need the bank to print same period when you submitted and back with reference letter and your letter of explanation ......all this suggestion is based on assumption the agent did not manipluate the intial printed version of the bank statement and was truthful since the agent did not use mybankstatemnt you provided.

Hello everyone,

Can someone point me to where to start reading from if I want to start an application. I checked page 1 but it's dated back to 2015 and I know a lot would have changed.

Thank you so much.

Since the IRCC claims that you should prove that the bank statements you submitted were real, this is what you need to do.

Go to your bank and request your most recent bank statements. This can be from January 2024 to date.

Also, request a “bank reference letter" from your bank. Ask your bank to write a bank reference letter on your behalf stating that your bank account is real and active. They should state when you opened the account on the letter, the average daily balance, and the closing balance.
 
Actually, one or two-month bank statements and a bank reference letter can do the trick.

In conclusion, I will say this: that your so-called agent doesn't really know his job if he doesn't realize that all you actually need in this case is a "bank reference letter" from your bank and possibly a one- or two-month bank statement.

Yes, you can if you are admitted to the school and the semester in question, have paid your tuition, and possess a valid study permit that allows you to study in Canada.

brother,

you posted this same question in USA student visa thread as well. If you want to change your status from visitor to study permit, you can apply to change the status in Canada and for the USA, it's possible but someone said its not advisable.


You can NOT start schooling theresmiley until after you changed visitors visa to study permit.
