Iffylove,

Hello good people, my friend just got PPR and is supposed to travel on the 21st of this month for a conference. Kindly let me know the fastest route to get the port and visa back b4 travel date

What is the VAC fee and where will she find the VAC consent form. Does she need to book an appointment for port submission?
Thank you

Thank you so much, will definitely work with your guidelines in my next application. God bless you.

I am so sorry about the delay in your application. Please order your GCMS notes to reconcile the wordings on your notes to this stated on IRCC refusal letter.

• The VO might be looking at your application more like a family reunion with a lesser probability of return. Going with your daughter and connecting with her dad might have been a red flag for the VO. In your next application, try to be silent as much as possible on her dad and focus more on your intention to pay your daughter a short visit. You can reduce the next application to one month or three weeks instead of two.

• The advantage of applying for a shorter stay would help with your proof of funds. Proof of funds for a visit visa is dependent on your planned duration of stay in Canada, and you need to estimate the period's living expenses, accommodation and transport.

• When submitting proof of funds, don't give the VO the impression that you would be using total balances in your . For instance, you have 2 million naira in your , and proof of funds for your stay adds up to 1.5 million, and thus would make presenting a 2 million cash balance that you are fully established in your home country.


• Reducing your planned duration of stay might be too short for you guys for now, but you will gain it later. The most important thing is getting approval. You would most likely be given multiple visas for at least more than a year when approved, then you can plan for a proper visit in subsequent travels

• Lastly, don't be in a rush to apply again. Allow your daughter to travel. You guys can re-plan on how she can settle in and the necessary she would need. Most provinces have a Nigerian community that is welcoming. She can connect to the Nigerian community in her province, and they can guide her on the necessary onboarding process. You can also google the African store in her province. Call the person (Hopefully a Nigerian) and connect your daughter to the person. But since your husband is there, she might not have issues.

• The VO comment has nothing to do with your business back home. it focuses more on your ties to Canada and proof of funds.

These notes is to give you some ideas behind the thinking of the visa officer pending when your GCMS notes arrive.

All the best!

Hi house,
After over 5 months of submitting my application, I got a refusal letter this morning with the following listed has reasons for the refusal.

• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada.
(I submitted my business registration certificate with tax documents and also mentioned I have aged parents who are dependent on me)

• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the
details you have provided in your application.
( I really don't understand this part, is there another visa I should have applied for instead of visiting visa?, i was also invited to my ex husbands wedding by his wife, I felt I needed a visiting visa for that and since I was staying for about 2 months in order to help my daughter adjust to her new environment)

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

(I submitted my personal which had about 2M in it, in the Invitation letter it was stated that my ex husband and his wife were sponsoring my flight, feeding and accommodation)

Here is a quick rundown of my situation: I applied for a visiting visa in order to accompany my child (she is a minor) to canada, she just got her PR approved. I felt it was very important that i accompany her on this trip because she is travelling a very long distance, interacting with a very different culture and reconnecting with her father in person after 7 years apart and that my will be integral to this major change and transition in her life.
All these reasons were stated in my application but I still got refused. I am really confused on what next to do, should I apply again? Will family reunification work in my case?

So sorry about that.
Please I want to ask when did you apply for your Visitor visa?

30th of January,2022

EmjaySimon:

So sorry about that.
Please I want to ask when did you apply for your Visitor visa?

Iffylove:
Hmmm,,,, we don't know what IRCC is doing about visit visa applications submitted on the new portal. We have many applications submitted in March, April without yet.......

Thanks for your .

Clearly, IRCC just keeps getting revenue by accepting applications and not providing . That’s rather unfair!

But please is there anyone who has truly gotten within 30-40 days using this PORTAL link

If not, then the claim on that portal is a sham!!!

Thank you for responding, I have checked the portal again and again, no BR letter. I mailed them already, Also did the webform no response.

Iffylove:
You should have gotten it after 24hrs of submission. Can you check your portal if you have the biometric request letter there?
If not, kindly mail IRCC to notify them

Thank you lord.
Applied via new portal Nov 9 2021 (Visit visa)
I got response July 13 2022.
Eligibility started Dec 9 2021.
I did biometric in 2019.
I was first refused canada visa in 2019
Travel history ( African countries and USA)
On my second visit to US embassy I was denied visa.I was given US visa the first time.
My child had his PR in January 2022, I reapplied for super visa on the new portal again.( eligibility for that has not started)
I updated IRCC via webform on my November application that I was entitled to super visa too submitting Travel insurance and letter of financial from child.
My child reached out to their MP on d November application. MP was really helpful. She helped us immigration and they responded in a week.
I see God hand through out this process.

Afternoon boss. Please , I need a lil clarification. A junior bro of mine just applied for a visiting visa and has done the biometrics aswell since last month. But the port expires in November this year. Now, I got to these thread to read several stories of people who there applications stayed closed to 5 months b4 they got a response from the canadian embassy. Now ,my question is this; We intend to renew the port now b4 there will be any call from the canadian embassy for port request as I heard the port must
has 6 months validity and someone also said it doesn't need ,that the visa duration on the port won't exceed the duration on the port . Now What would you suggest we do boss. Should we apply for a new port or we maintain the status quo . This is my question. Thanks boss

I know sometimes officers do request for an updated port from applicants if the intended date of issuance is beyond the validity of the port while others go ahead and affix the visa counterfoil up to the validity of the port, but this is at the discretion of the visa officer.

The best approach would have been for your brother to have his port renewed before applying. I think he should go ahead and have his port renewed when he can, and he can notify IRCC when the new port is issued via webform so they are aware of the new development.

Hello,
Please I need some information on the proof of funds for visitors visa. Is the funds requirement for visitors the same as for students?

Hello,

Since i will be applying again after my child settles in canada. Can i apply for the super visa?

Super visa may take time but it is much better if you can wait. Although, a super visa has a little different dynamics from a normal visit or tourist visa. You may not be able to apply for it so soon. You can read more on this on the link below:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/parent-grandparent-super-visa/eligibility.html

Hello everyone

The section on the application form that says how much do you have for your stay in Canada?
Is it how much I intend spending or how much I have in my bank .

I got two conflicting answers, so I am confused.

bl39:
Hello,
Please I need some information on the proof of funds for visitors visa. Is the funds requirement for visitors the same as for students?

The minimum requirement for proof of funds for a student visa is not the same as that of a visit visa. The student visa has its standard minimum requirement of $10,000 for living expenses and additional cash available for at least the first year of tuition or more.

But for a visit visa, the officer wants to have some comfort that the applicant would be able to sustain themselves on living expenses, accommodation, and transport during the period of stay; this would depend on the period of stay and the province. For instance, the amount an applicant would show as proof of fund for a visit to Vancouver would be different from that of New Brunswick or Newfound land for the same period.

The applicant would have to research the cost of living in the intended province but much better if the person has a host willing to invite him/her, that person can help with those information.

This should be your budgeted amount for your trip, and you can then submit a bank statement with a balance over the budgeted amount which makes sense. It shows you have cash surplus. The officer won’t expect you to empty your on your trip

Hello,

Are you referring to the application time when you say super visa may take time? "You may not be able to apply for it so soon" can you shed more light on that. I have gone throught the link you sent, nothing suggests the reason i might not be able to apply soon except that my child is a minor.
