Sure , I am traveling with my wife , we both have US and UK visas and i got an invitation letter from my sister who is a Canadian, We have both visited 12 countries together as a family and we have previously been issued 5 US visas.

Eriokanmi:
Now you're talking. The Canadian visa denial was the main reason your visa application processing is being delayed. With this information you just provided, your app will go through the normal processing time oo. But expect a positive response. Usually, once you've travelled at least once to the US and you came back without abusing the visa status(i.e,you didn't overstay your visit receive medical care without fully settling your bills), your Canadian visa app shouldn't take the normal processing time to conclude, regardless if you've traveled to Canada in the past or not. You automatically qualify for Can+ treatment

Hello fam,

Pls I want to apply for Canadian Visitors visa with my family (my self, my husband and my toddler).
I have a valid US visa, my husband does not have.
My older sister is a Canadian citizen, so we want to visit her family as reason to travel.

Pls does it make sense to apply together as family? does it show "japa" signals?
What if I apply alone and the fact that my spouse is in Nigeria is part of proof that I intend to "return"?

Also pls what is a good bank balance for a family of 3, as we would be sponsoring ourselves
is $10k bank balance sufficient?

I got my passport request 5 days ago and till now when I check the tracker, there is no visa number or anything like that

Today I got a mail saying my application status has changed

Am I supposed to be scared ?

-When I log into IRCC account, my application says my eligibility status was reviewed. But it still shows final decision as “approved”

The tracker account says “in progress” and has no visa number displayed

This is really confusing

Your chances are high but I don't know why they are not using fast track CAN + to process your visa.

I used the old portal for my application, could that be the reason?

gr8nex:


That was super fast. I applied since April and I still haven't gotten a response from IRCC. I have valid US, UK and Schengen visas. Did you submit other supporting documents? I only submitted a copy of my US visa, passport data page, travel history and NIN.

hayatou27:


Are you a first time applicant or visa renewal? Its seems pretty fast, i submitted 13th July, i have a valid US and UK visas, but no reponse yet

Sultty:
congratulations bro. I tap to this testimony too cos i did my biometrics 3 days after yours

dsureguy:


My case is similar to yours the differences are we don't have a travel history and funding proof is more...

We applied in Feb 2024, The Passport Request was Aug 12, submitted on the 15th and collected (my wife and i) on the 19th although my little boy's app is still processing.

bank balance was $19500 in foreign currency

dsureguy:
Finally!!! my boy's got his PPR...

affoncad:

Congratulations! I noticed that Canada is now focusing on granting visitor visas to the families of citizens and permanent residents, while first-time applicants for tourist visas with no travel history are often denied. Even obtaining a conference visa has become difficult now.

Richdiamond000:
Does Canadian visa display the photo taken on the day of biometrics, just like US visa ?

Biamoz:
@ Gurus in the House. What next after submitting an application using the new portal. I mean when and how should i book an appointment for biometrics.

Alvinbrownn:
Good evening everyone, please I have dual intent application in progress, visitors Visa and spouse sponsorship application, I have done my biometric, medical passed, SA approval for my the spouse sponsorship application, for the visitors visa I just got a refusal letter today and the reason was baseless because I have everything addressed in the visitor visa application. My family ties, more than 20m in my account, properties documents. Travel history. Hope it’s not going to affect my family class application because, the stage I am right now in my PR application is background check. Anyone have experience this before and what is the success rate for my PR and what will likely happen? Share you thoughts please.
