Humility01:I feel your pain. The best thing to do is for you to apply for Canada visit visa when you get to US. I did same for my wife last October. The processing time in US is less than 2 week. 1 Like 1 Share |

travelpoint:Good evening everyone, Please, my enquiry is about visitor visa to Canada. I have a conference to attend in Montreal in mid March 2017. I want to know if it is still feasible to get the visa within this short time frame. I hope to complete my online application next week. Also, what visa office does one address their letter from sponsor to? Is there a visa office in Nigeria? What is the minimum amount that should be in my sponsor's account? Which route is faster and more cost-effective? What general advice can you give me concerning visitor visa to Canada to avoid mistakes and refusal? I hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you. Success to all other applicants on the forum.. Cheers How do I get affordable but good flight deals to Canada. It's only a 10 day trip, I don't want to spend a fortune on flight ticket. ![]() |

careerwoman:Good evening. With paper application you may stand a better chance of getting a decision before the conference date. Please kindly state the relationship between you and your sponsor. 1 Like |

jayfierce:thank you very much for the swift response. will go through the paper route. How do I go about it anyway? I have the document checklist from the cic website. my sponsor is my elder brother but he doesn't have a domiciliary account ooo.. I also have a financial aid award from the organisers of about 1,000 USD. Do I still stand a chance to getting the visa? |

careerwoman:And your ties? Job, family, assets, responsibilities? |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by careerwoman(f): 10:56pm On Dec 03, 2016 |
jayfierce:I'm a medical student (600level) at the Premier University.. I think thats the only tie I have.. no job, no assets, in various student organisations if that can pass as my responsibilities. Moreover, this conference is an annual event. I went for the last edition this year which was in Rome. Next year's conference will be in Montreal.. It is a Model United Nations Conference for university students. 1 Like |

justwise:Thank you for your response. So should I attach an SOP to the required documents to be submitted in my application? I'm thinking of applying this week or latest next week. Whom do I address the letter to?? Is there an embassy in Nigeria? Documents I plan to submit include; Letter of invitation from the MUN conference organisers My bro's statement of acct and proof of relationship Travel Itinerary Flight and hotel booking proof of studentship passport biodata page Schengen visa page with travel stamps SOP Visa form.. Are there other documents I need to add?? Ehen, another headache I almost forgot to mention is that I had to apply twice before my Schengen visa was approved by the Italian Consulate. My colleagues and I suffered. The first time they refused us visas on grounds that they couldnt verify the conference despite the organisers sending them multiple emails on our behalf. They finally called our private phone numbers, apologised rudely and asked that we pay another visa fee. Then, they granted us the visa. The whole essence of the story is this; will I state on canada's visa form that I have been denied a visa??(saw a question like that on the form) The conference is a large one and every year over 3,000 students from almost 180+ countries attend it. I sincerely pray that the VO will be more reasonable than the one at the Italian Consulate. There's no money to reapply again, not in this recession.. the canadian visa processing is looking more expensive sef. ![]() 1 Like |

careerwoman: 1.Address the letter to Canadian embassy in Lagos or Abuja depending on where you are applying from. 2. Select yes to the question that asked if you have been refused a visa before then state briefly that you were issued later after Italian embassy ratified their mistake 3. You need a letter from your school permitting you to take the trip 1 Like |

olumix365: No you have to do it yourself with little help from here and your own research. Forget about depending on anybody to help your complete a form or some documents, if you are qualified to be issued a tourist visa you will get one. A regular traveler today was once a first timer, so lack travel history shouldn't be a stumbling block. The most important question is: Do you meet the requirement for tourist visa? 1 Like |

[quote author=VickyRotex post=51642981] My sister why art thou confused and little scared? lol ![]() I will advise you apply as soon as possible. I also see that some Nairalanders here have answered your questions. Nice! ![]() But we can chat if you have any questions. Also, do let me know if you need any assistance as regards pick up or finding locations here or touring. (No charge at all. ![]() Thank you but Im waiting on my proof of studentship from school and bank statement from sponsor. God bless your kind soul. I will be needing help with pick up from YUL and touring. For my accommodation, I chose Samesun Montreal Center at St. Hubert street. I hope they are nice as the reviews on booking.com depicted. My conference will take place at Plais des Congressi (Convention center). Samesun is a bit far but its prices were too reasonable to overlook. 250cad for 9 nights (breakfast included). Perhaps, you might know other affordable and nice opttions close to the convention center. |
