HI justwise, a covering letter strictly speaking is not a visa requirement.

However, it is an invaluable and inalienable (in my view) part of a Canadian visa application for the reasons I exhaustively highlighted in my earlier post.

If you dump a bunch of papers before d visa officers without an index, they may not find valuable documents that might help your application.

Little wonder people keep complaining here for instance that they have impressive travel history and provided evidence but were still denied a visa on that account.

Bro brief explanation is all one needs, no point writing pages of cover letter for visiting visa. Submit required documents and give brief explanation where required as to why you want to visit Canada, places you tend to visit etc. Most of the information needed will be contained in the application form then use the blank space for additional information if required

I would advice you apply over there, cause over there in 9ja, it takes over 80 working days.. Hence your package is complete your good too go. You can equally make use of your statement from there, hence you can convince the VO that you can have access to it over there in CA.

Pls get ur facts right, it's clearly stated on their website which was recently updated on 8th of March, it takes 61days. So please stop passing the wrong information. Here is a link to confirm http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp

Okay when it comes to visiting visa from 9ja, it varies okay. the VO don't work by the actual processing time okay, it's just prayr's.. Have seen testimonies of people who got there's just in two weeks and othr people have to wait for almost 80 working days for the good news, that's if your package is complete.

Hello People,

Please i need professional advice on how to approach my travel plans. I have been working here in Dubai for almost 2years now and i just got married December 2015,I have traveled to South Africa, Kenya, Turkey ( twice ), Italy and Spain,all these visas i got from here in Dubai with no stress. I wish to take my wife on a trip to Canada but because she hasn't gotten her residence here,she can't apply from here with me so i am planning on coming back to Nigeria to apply there with her. I would like to know if i can use my statement of account here to apply over there in Nigeria because i don't have a salary account there in Nigeria. I also wish to know how long the visa processing time takes because I can't be away from work for too long as my company must issue me a late stating the period am going off work.( it takes just 14 days over here )

Please i will appreciate if i can get advice on my plans.

Thanks
