Hello @uchetobi. I believe that was what helped with mine. Maybe you should do the same if you do reapply. Also adding your children's school fees receipt might help. The truth is I can't really say what goes on with them when they are going through people's applications. I just decided to go all out with documentation when I applied. I didnt want to regret leaving out anything. I also chose a "not so popular" location but family friendly and opted for a very short trip(6 days). The "6 days" was mainly due to the small funds available at the time. So that was peculiar to my application. I will suggest you get your gcms notes first before reapplying though. uchetobi: |

Thank you bro. You are a good man with a kind heart. I am not thinking of anything Canada for now as I don’t even know what to add to my application. I’ll apply for the gcms notes just to understand the VO’s thought process and then decide on next steps. Thanks again! jj17cv: 1 Like |

makylove101: Thanks dear. You are right. Wasn’t planning to go with my kids hence I dint even think of that. My circumstances has changed via residency in another country and I will be able to enter Canada freely next year which was why I was considering withdrawing my application but left it since I dint expect them to deny me |

Thanks for your response, i appreciate quote author=makylove101 post=84650375]I would suggest you build up your ties back home. Travelling alone helps with that too. Add your bank statements, intro, confirmation and promotion letters from the office. Tax clearance certificates, pay slips, pension statement etc, if you have. Plus it will help if you have a property or two. Your hubby's business account can act as a buffer. But first, go through the thread. [/quote] |

@ty01, so sorry for the refusal, your refusal touch me, as for your documents submitted I don't see any issues oo, I really dunno how they judged your application, your documents are on point..... however if I must pick something may be you should have used an invitation from your in-law, but then again that isn't your plan to go see them maybe they used reverse psychology, so I give up, go flex dubai, I heard it's 3days to get dubai visa. Finally Am curious to know what the GCMS notes will report.. All the best man.. ty01: 1 Like |

@Okestra01, congratulations in advance, wishing you a white Xmas full of snow.....except na British Columbia. Was it an online or paper application? Where was your application processed ? (it's on the top left corner of your visa stamp) Please try to share the documents you submitted for the application so that people can emulate what these VO's really want. Thanks so much Okestra01: |

Good day house!! Ozzz and the rest gurus! Please what could be wrong with my application or the eligibility haven’t started ? I submit my application on the 15-11-019 and i did biometric on the 29-11-019–later at night the same day I did biometric, i got a notification that my Visa application, tracking ID No. xxxxxxxxx has been received at the Lagos OC VAC on 2019-11-29 09:01:51 PM GMT Standard Time and is on transit to the IRCC Office in Lagos OC ,for processing. Please note this is an auto generated e.mail. Please do NOT reply to this email. Regards, VFS Global Since then I haven’t gotten any notifications from them again!! Has anyone experienced this before? Please if yes-highlight a little light � please. |

@Geotherm, sorry for the refusal for your sister. Purpose of visit, this basically contains your flight and accomodation booking and you dont have to pay down, but make sure the dates flow. Please use an agent to book them. many make mistakes in this part booking by themselves and the VO seeing a mistake will believe you have another motive. Some people booking on their own forget it takes about 2 days or more depending on the number of stops to get to Canada and they will fix accomodation date to start from the day they departed Nigeria. The VO will just use it as an excuse. Then in addition you can add your personal itinerary but its not compulsory, this basically is like a timetable of major things you will be doing for each day spent in canada. If someone like a relation is over there let the person invite her via a letter, stating the reason for visit, length of stay, her name, occupation, relationship to the person inviting her, her date of birth and house address, who will sponsor the trip ? Proof of salary, she just needs to submit minimum of 4months pay slip or average of 6months not 3months, then her bank statement 6months from salary account, adding letter of introduction from employer and leave letter as well as tax card if available. Hope this helps...... geotherm: 1 Like |

Hi Ruben, it's just a confirmation they have recieved your application, nothing to be worried about. However am not clear on your biometrics ? have you received a letter to do biometrics, if yes , have you done it yet? if yes for both you are on course. Ruben225571: |

Ozzz: Thanks Ozzz, God Blessed... Yes I did biometric on the 29-11-2019! I wish i could just take off my mind towards this waiting process!! I hate anything delays or waiting! Although God is in control-Mine & any other person visa application would end in praises. 1 Like |

I agree with you about Canada stand. My first application with all its documentation was denied after 4 months. I reapplied again without putting all the documentation and it was approved in 5 days. At the end, it all boils down to the perception of the VO. Even if you work in Chevron, it doesn't matter. People have left Shell jobs to go to Canada, while teachers have gone to Canada and returned. jj17cv: 1 Like |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by megastu(m): 11:51am On Dec 06, 2019 |
Congrats on your residency. It looks like the VO suspected this hence the refusal. They are encouraging people to go via PR route than visit, knowing that Canada is not a popular tourist destination. uchetobi: 1 Like |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by megastu(m): 11:57am On Dec 06, 2019 |
There is no apparent justification for this refusal. Do you have any relation that overstayed in Canada? mim1031: |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by megastu(m): 12:01pm On Dec 06, 2019 |
Applying alone seems the only way now. The kids being American citizens do not help your case to proove ties. They can get to Canada without the need for a visa. Apply for GCMS note to know the VO exact concern. Mrskay2017: 1 Like |

Thanks @Ozz. I will let you know the content of the gcms notes to calm your curiosity . I might try the invitation letter approach if I decide to reapply, just that I typically don’t like to ask anybody for invitation letter as you don’t know what people are up to. I wouldn’t want other people’s act or actions abroad affect or taint my records. Thanks again bro. Ozzz: 2 Likes |

ty01:Sorry about the refusal. I am intrigued by your application so please permit me to extrapolate based on the information you provided. You stated that you wont be visiting your brother while in Canada and you used the words "strictly for vacation". If that was actually how wrote it, then it could give a wrong impression that you are desperate enough to "deny" your brother to visit Canada especially if the two of you are in constant communication. Further stating that you'd have challenges moving your family from Calgary to Toronto also gives a wrong impression. You've navigated 20 countries successfully and some of those countries with your family. Navigating calgary to toronto shouldn't be stated as a challenge. I believe your letter played a huge role in this refusal. Maybe you were trying to avoid a refusal from family ties in Canada. I don't think it would have been a problem considering your excellent profile. I wish you success in your next application. 6 Likes |

Thanks for your insight. I think I did not express myself correctly as I DO NOT have a brother in Canada. I only have a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law. All the same your insight is deeply appreciated and I agree with you that not seeing my in-laws might have been a strange one especially after traveling all the way from Naija. But the truth of the matter is that I never intended to see them as I saw them just recently in Lagos. I’m looking forward to the gcms notes and would share same on the platform. Thanks again for your insight and best wishes. NothingDoMe: |

Thanks Ozzz for the suggestions. She will include all these documents. She is coming to visit me and will stay with us throughout her visit period. The officer also pointed out that I did not include my financial documentation in the invitation letter. I will fix that too. Ozzz: |
