Hello House,
Please i have some questions that i need clear guidance on.

Here's the background case.I am trying to apply for Visitor visit visa for my wife.My cousin who is a PR in canada is inviting my wife over for birth tourism purpose.I will not be following her to Canada. She's 4 months pregnant and would love to deliver in Canada.She recently stopped working as she completed her NYSC as a medical officer in October 2015.

Here are the grey arears i need to clear.

1.Filling the TRV forms

a)Relationship of applicant to the invitee:can she write Husband's cousin?
b)Duration of stay:Can i just indicate two weeks (mid feb 2016-end 0f feb 2016) with return tickets procured at the POE but stay for 2 to 3 months until after the delivery still within the validity of the Visa.Reason she's planning to indicate two weeks on the form is because of available cash (approx 4000CAD) even though accommodation and feeding will be taken care of by My cousin.
c)Her account is recently depleted as well as mine because we recently got married(October 31st 2015) but i am getting some monies from people I loaned money to as well as my wife's brother planning to give her some money....How do I go about presenting this sudden funds to avoid flagging the Money lodgement signal.Both accounts have been active for the past six months with about 100K coming into wife's account monthly and about 200K into mine monthly but most have been spent on the wedding and i'm trying to raise about 1mil before applying this december i.e about 500K into my account and 500K into her account prior to application...is this advisable or i should just apply stating the the TRV form that 4000CAD is available for the trip even if the bank statement does not reflect upto half this amount as at the time of application but the statement indicate money coming in and going out?

d) can I use my wife's sister in law(My wife's brother's wife) as sponsor who is a business woman with good bank account statement in addition to the husband's SOA as well as the applicant's too ?

e) if yes to d,can I add her to the family information form even though she is not a direct brother or sister to the applicant but a sister inlaw?

Experts Kindly weight in on this.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Let me answer ur question one after tje other.

1. Yes husband's cousin is fine(if u can get a doc to back dat up kewl) but u need not worry about dat if u dont av any.all d times I av been to canada I got an invite from ma friends so husband's cousin shouldn be an ish.

2.indicating 2 weeks is fine .when u are being issued a visa, u can stay in d country for up to 6 months unless the officer at the POE stamps a different time frame on ur passport.

3. Instead of depositing 500k in her acc and urs I had advice u to deposit in 1 acc peferably hers since shes working and dont make it a lump sum deposit.it will make more sense if d deposit is simplified.

4.i beg of u do not use any sponsor for such.its a big minus for u to be considered.it demerits u in a lot of ways so stay clear of dat option.

If u av any oda quest do not hesitate to throw it open.cheers

Well I dont know much about dat now, but about 4 years ago I intended to go on dat path as well but my wife was denied a visa cos she was subject to a medical and dey found out she was 5 months preg.dey denied both of us.2 days later I submitted a fresh application for maself alone and I was issued d visa after 5 days.

She just finished Nysc so she no longer works but I do.

referencing your response number 4, can she indicate the husband as sponsor with accompanying payslips and bank soa even though the husband is not applying.

sure u as d husband can be her sponsor.tho her case does not look too strong in terms of ties to her home country excluding u but who knows give it a shot u might be favoured.

Hi! Congratulations on the safe delivery of your baby. Could you please confirm if you are a permanent resident or a temporary resident (i.e. work, study or tourism)? If you are a permanent resident, you could file for family immigration for her or apply for a supervisa. If you are a student or a temporary worker, you could invite her over as a visitor. I'm not sure if visitors can invite other visitors though! Also I am not sure which is better and faster between the paper and the online application routes. But I know that the online application route is easier for a candidate with a scanner and an internet connection. However, for both routes, you still need to visit a VAC to submit your application. For the paper route, you only need to visit the VAC once (minimum) to submit your application and your passport, but the CDHC get to hold onto your passport for as long as they like. You can pay for the VAC to return your application back to you. For the online route, you have to visit the VAC twice, the first after you submit your application online to do your bio-metrics and the second to submit your passport if your application is successful. But your passport is only required if your application is successful, thereby shortening your passport's stay in the vault of the CDHC.

For the documents you need to submit, I advise you to visit http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/apply-how.asp and confirm the documents that are needed. All applications and applicants have different circumstances and travel reasons, therefore the burden of proof for each applicant varies greatly. Cheers!

Thanks so much. Im a temporary resident. Hv both study and work permits.

Sleek awaiting you answer it will help alot

Alikote, sorry didnt know u were refering to me. Congrats on ur admission, its nt even getting admission that is the problem, its getting the visa. I am finishing from lambton college finally by april. Did business management - human reaources as well. Done wit the academics aspect, remaing the compulsory internship or as they call it co-op of 4 months. Truth is, its nt so easy to get a professional job but its also achievable depending on ur work experience. Also one thing i would like u to know is that paying rent every month consumes ur money very fast. A standard room is btwn $400 and $450 every month in a shared house. Me i would say buying a house in naija is a very good investment for life...in canada, its continous spending all the time. But i cant also say u shouldnt come to canada if u want to come study, no knowledge is lost. But know that u can only work part time if u are schooling and what u earn thru that is just enough for ur pocket money, nothing much. And after school, you have to work very hard and maybe hv other sources of income to be good. u can buy the house now and then save again to come to canada, u would never regret it. Thats my lil piece. Feel free to ask anything

Thanks a lot i have an mba degree too.my net saving including shares can amount to 7 millon naira which i think can get me visa. MY fear is i dont want to wash dishes or unprofessional jobs . That why i need first hand information am 34 yrs old it a critical time any mistake is risky .pls are there recent gradute from najia that move to professional jobs since your arrival

Sleek if u where me .what will u do.u have been in najia and canada .u best position to advice

Alikote:
Sleek if u where me .what will u do.u have been in najia and canada .u best position to advice

If it were me...i will invest as much as i can in naija so that i can always hv something to fall back on then go to canada. Canada will giv u all needed comfort true but pls dnt throw everything away and come to canada to start from scratch

Hi everyone, is it compulsory for all TRV/Visit Visa applicants to fill the [i]Schedule 1 – Application for Temporary Resident Visa [IMM 5257 – Schedule 1] form.

Please, note that in the main form which is Application for Temporary Resident Visa [IMM 5257], it states in some sections that u may be required to fill Schedule 1 – Application for Temporary Resident Visa [IMM 5257 – Schedule 1] form if you answer yes to certain questions and at the same time there is an indication on the same Schedule 1 form that it must be filled by all applicants. Please, any one with knowledge of the correct procedure should kindly advise me. Thanks

Schedule 1 form is for The principal applicant, his or her spouse or common law partner, if applicable, and all dependent children aged 18 or older listed (in family form) in the application for temporary resident. Each of them must complete her own copy of the Schedule 1 form.
