Hellooo Everyone. Please I need your advice. I want to apply for a visitor visa to visit family/ friends and to look at Universities (apply to them too) in Canada. The main aim is to further my Education (I have a MSc degree from UK). My Parents are sponsoring the trip. My Mom and I are submitting an application together; do I still need to submit my bank statement? Also, is it advisable to include that I will be visiting universities during the trip in my SOP? |

You can certainly apply for a student visa from here and your mum can accompany you being your sponsor. Since you have a masters degree, why not apply for a Phd program, I think with this you stand a chance. Ajokeadeyemi: |

Good day please someone should kindly help how long does it take to return passport after submission. I submitted on the 21st June am yet to hear anything from the embassy and I don buy ticket to travel on the 3rd Yawa gas oo |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by gg4real: 2:01pm On Jun 28, 2018 |
You should have wait for your passport to return before buying ticket. Anyways it takes 8-10 days for passport return and for you to know your visa has been stamped, check your online status, if you find approved, it means it has been stamped. Enishit: |

Good day everyone. Sorry this might not be the right thread for this but I need answers. I recently applied for visiting visas for my parents in the Supervisa category (they are now grand parents). I just got this email below from the immigration office: "Supervisa Medical Insurance: Proof of medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company, valid for a minimum period of one year from the date of entry, provides a minimum of $100,000 coverage; is valid for each entry to Canada and available for review by an examining officer". |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by gg4real: 5:34pm On Jun 29, 2018 |
Yes, it will still drop. Av got someone whose biometric did not drop until the second week Codeblues: |

Jawa: Yinka was actually making a valid point about CAN+, but it does not apply to every applicant that has a VALID US visa or have traveled to canada in the last 10years. When applications are submitted it's the Visa Office that determines which applicants qualify for the CAN+ program. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by travelwahala: 6:25pm On Jun 29, 2018 |
Seekinbiz: To answer you question, see the eligibility requirement for the SuperVisa have medical insurance from a CANADIAN insurance company that is: valid for at least one year from the date of entry at least $100,000 for minimum coverage have proof that the medical insurance has been paid (quotes aren’t accepted) link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/parent-grandparent-super-visa/eligibility.html |

travelwahala: I saw it on the board, read it and asked questions about it when we went to give biometrics for renewal (online route). What I was made to understand is that it works for the categories as stated, that it doesn't require submission of bank statements if you go the paper route. The word DROPBOX is what I can't clearly understand, but this is for valid US visa holders or previous Canada Visitors in the past 10 years, it seems to only exclude bank statements but other things have to follow I think (I didn't ask this much, their emphasis however was on the bank statement exclusion part). Would have been very good if @the bolded is expatiated on! I mean not EVERY applicant in the category? |

Africankel: This is all you need to know about the GCMS notes, my advice is that you can use any of these two services online to request getgcms.com or visafile.info How to apply GCMS / ATIP notes. Only a person who is in Canada can request the notes. Get your sponsor to request on PA'S behalf! If principal applicant is in Canada, he/she can request for himself and apply for free under Privacy Act. If sponsor is requesting it on behalf of Principal applicant, you need consent form from PA and $5 fee. You can receive consent form from spouse via email and upload it. Apply under Access to Information Act. It takes about 30 days to receive by email. It is a ~30 pages document (can be more than 30 pages) Consent form: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp Section A - Principal Applicant details Section B - Sponsor's details Section C - Sponsor's details GCMS Notes: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp In above link, click Apply online, choose English , hit Next and accept the terms & conditions. Next enter the below details: Requester Information Department: Citizenship and Immigration Canada Title: Family Name: Given Name(s) (First Name): Mailing Address: Telephone No.: E-mail Address: Requesting information on your own behalf? Yes / No Category of Requester: Member of the Public Right of Access: Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or Individual/corporation currently present in Canada Method of Delivery: E-mail Act & Record Selection Act: Privacy Act / Access to Information Act - select this for GCMS notes for PA residing outside of Canada.

Ajokeadeyemi: You have to clearly detail your intent of traveling and also the reason why you have to visit the school physically before you apply, since this can be done online. I don't know the full details of your circumstance and how old you are. But if you work, it's always good to add your own financial details, so the VO will full understand your present financial circumstance. Best of luck. 1 Like |

travelwahala: Thanks so much boss. Your write up and link was so helpful. Must the medical insurance be obtained from Canada? Can it be gotten from Nigeria? |

OmoBendel24: Well, the Visa office are the ones that would determine which application should qualify for the CAN+ program. The application has to SHOW that it is eligible and who determines this(eligibility)? The visa office. Please see link below: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=877&top=16 |
