This is canada visitor section and I believe there is a significant misunderstanding when comparing the visa requirements for the UK and Canada. Canada does not consider the inactivity of a company registration as a primary factor. I sponsored my sister for a student visa, and although the company I work for is inactive on the CAC website, I provided my personal tax clearance. Initially, her visa was refused due to concerns about the source of funds. However, after I explained my additional business activities, provided receipts from my clients, and showed the payments made to my account along with my CAC certificate and tax l paid , her visa was approved on the second attempt.
In my experience, obtaining a UK visit and student visa is relatively very easier compared to Canada visitor visa , where even after presenting all necessary documents, one might still face refusal. Therefore, the emphasis on company inactive is not entirely accurate!

Keep checking ur portal daily ur decision is closer than ever!

GodGraceOnly:


You said you attached CaC and tax receipt so why will they border about that again? Tax is a government payment and it’s only a legal entity that pays it.

If you didn’t attach those, you for have been having same refusal cases.

We’re addressing the guys case and that’s what it entails. Read it clearly and you’d comprehend it’s the same case of inactive status or tax.

Why will an officer see your employment documents and salaries and still claim they don’t believe the genuine source of your income?
May God Help us all, Amen 🙏

Hi Everyone,

I applied for study permit and VV for spouse and children.

My Study permit is approved, family VV’s are still pending.

Please has anyone faced this scenario. I know it might take a while, I just want to know how long it takes based on others’ experience.

Thank you in advance.

Rach86:
Please how long does it take for study visa to be granted and also, I want to ask that if some has an application like tourist visa submitted, must the visa be out first before applying for study permit or you can submit the study permit application while you are still awaiting your tourist visa. Asking for someone. Thanks

Student visas and visitor visas are two distinct categories of visas. Therefore, you can apply for and submit a student visa application while your visitor visa application is still being processed and current processing time is now 5 weeks for student application

House34:

Please note that IRCC is currently processing student permits and family visitor visas for student applicants independently, which can take around 4 to 6 months, similar to regular visitor visa applications.
I know of a family who experienced a similar situation. Their application took 5 months to process, resulting in the approval of the two children's visas, but the father's application was denied. Since the wife is a 1-year diploma student, the children's visas were only granted until the end of her program date. The father has reapplied, and we hope his application will be successful this time.

1. Did you obtain the bank statement from the bank yourself or how did you get the bank statment?
2. What was the balance of your tuition fee after paying the deposit? Currently, the living expenses are:

Proof of Funds Practical Updated for 2024

Applicant Studying Outside Quebec:

• 1 year tuition fee OR full fees for the entire length of study

• 1 year living expenses: 20,635 CAD

• Miscellaneous expenses for a single applicant: between 3,000 to 6,000 CAD

This totals expexcted apart tuition fee approximately 25,000 CAD. Therefore, you need to add your remaining tuition fee balance to 25,000 CAD. This is the amount the visa officer needs to see in your account. What was the exchange rate when you applied, and how much was in the account?

Maria345:

I got the bank statement from access bank, I went to the bank and requested for my bank statement and told them I was using it for study visa
I stated very clearly in my sop that I paid full tuition which was 18, 900 cad which was what was written in my offer letter
I don’t know where they detected partial payment
Although I noticed weeks after I’ve paid I got another new offer letter from the same course and I wrote to them, they said I should disregard the email
Weeks after I’ve submitted my application to IRCC they gave me a new invoice for my school tuition which is 19,900
I got a denial way before this second invoice came out
I had 23,350,000 naira my account
Dollar was 136

Fisherlala:
Hello everyone,
I urgently need advice for my cousin who wants to apply for a visit visa to Canada. The process is proving to be quite challenging. He plans to visit Canada with his family. His wife and children have Irish passports, so they only need to apply for an eTA before he applies for his visa. Any guidance on the necessary documents and the application process would be greatly appreciated.

maryglo:
For your Canada tourist visa, you might need to book tickets and explore various services.

I am a silent reader . I didn't use any agent. All the information I got here, I use it.
I apply for a conference as a speaker and the organizer sent a letter to me.

Maria345:


So you think I shouldn’t bother to appeal?
Just want to know how much it cost for the appeal and how long it takes

Larryjam:

The question is did you pass the eligibility requirements . And to the best of my knowledge, no VO would approve a SOWP for a diploma student's spouse. They stopped it since March or may. Not sure .
1. Purpose of visit.
2. Cost Living expenses
3. Home ties
4. Info about your partner studying in Canada.
You don't need to know any VO. Just prepare your next application by fulfilling requirements I listed. But before anything, order your GCMS note for the denied application first. I wish you the best in your next application

NowisGod109:


What exactly can one use as home ties? Is one property enough or one needs to include family members. I am working on EE and tourist visa at the same time.

House34:


Demonstrating strong home ties includes property ownership, such as owning a house or land, which can be shown through title deeds and landed property documents, indicating financial investment in your home country. Family ties, supported by birth and marriage certificates, as well as family photos, highlight personal obligations that require your return.

Employment stability is crucial, with documents like employment letters and pay stubs showing you have a job to return to. If you own a business, registration certificates, financial statements, and tax clearance documents demonstrate significant commitments. Financial assets, including bank statements and investment portfolios, suggest economic stability.

Community involvement, such as participation in local or religious organizations, can be supported by membership certificates and letters from community leaders. Educational commitments, like ongoing studies, can be shown through enrollment letters. Legal obligations, including contracts, further illustrate your need to return.

These factors collectively establish a strong case for your intention to return to your home country after your visit but please focus more on the EE and the requirement as it has a long term benefit compare to tourist and with EE you can option for 100% gift deed and no need to proof any home ties.

Please what is EE?
