First question, apart from money and employment what home ties does your sister have? The chances of your mum being approved are high and your sister being denied are also high. Not due to any fault of yours but most young people that come on visit visas do not go back again so they are also being cautious in dishing out visas to people who will overstay and eventually file for asylum.

Hello Debiee,

Sorry about your sister refusal.

Please did they use invitation letter from someone in Canada for their application?
Is your sister married with kids?
Is she going as accompany person to your mom?
Did she submit her statement of ?

Please i need a guide as i am planning similar applications for my sister. Plan is to put her as accompany person to my mom
Mom has been to US before, just once to visit my elder brother and renewed the visa on her second port - She has valid US visa.
Sister is married with a kid - Travel to Benin (Twice), Togo (Once) and Ghana (Twice). She is employed with a monthly salary of about 1.5m and has over 20m in . She has all documents from her company, and she can get letter from her boss. She also has a shop of her own where she has people to manage and only go there on weekend. the shop is ed under CAC. She has all the family pictures, her property and building projects. I will be giving them both invitation letters, my statement of and all documents. I am a PR holder in Canada works in a good company and i also have my personal company ed here in Canada and properties as well. I am confident on my mom because of her valid US visa but a bit skeptical about my sis and i am also confused if i should submit separately or together as a group with my sister accompanying my mom. Please what can you advise.

Please Nairalanders, What can you all advise

Thanks in advice.

Thanks for this and to answer the question in respect to home ties.

1. She is married with kid
2. She has a property - Finished and another ongoing property projects- Pictures of the finished property will be included and the ongoing property details will be included with receipts, designs, approval and all on the ongoing property.
3. Her family pictures, marriage certificates (Islam and court certificates), her child certificate, Newspaper for the marriage name
4. Employment is also the home tie,
5. Landed properties - 2 - undeveloped
6. Vehicle registration documents.
7. Letters of recommendation from community leaders.

I know this is not a requirement - I intend to purchase a flexible and open ticket for her - 6 months ahead and if anything changes on the application then i will used the ticket myself by change of name with same date and same route. She will be going back home and no japa in her own case.

Lastly, kindly advise on what you think can be added to the application.

Notime0112:
Hello everyone, I submitted my application for a Canada visit visa 10 months ago and have yet to receive a response. Due to this delay, I decided to apply for a USA visa, which has been approved. Can anyone guide me on how to update my USA visa information on the Canadian immigration website? Additionally, will this development help expedite my ongoing visa application that's been pending for 10 months?

I would appreciate any advice on how to my USA visa to my Canadian portal. Thank you! 🙏

She has a good profile despite a weak travel history; however, as you are aware, the visit visa system has been significantly impacted by asylum applicants, with some family visitors now claiming asylum. This situation may adversely affect genuine family visit applications. To strengthen her case, it is advisable to include a notarized statement in the invitation letter affirming that she is safe, does not face any socioeconomic or marital challenges, and that her life is not in danger. The statement should emphasize that her visit is solely for the purpose of spending time with you and your family and that she will return to her job and family life. Numerous legal professionals and public notaries provide notarization services online for a fee, allowing individuals to appear via webcam, affirm the statement, and have it officially signed.

Hello, based on information you provided earlier you completed biometric on October 4,2024 with a family of four, and on December 12, you received an email asking to your wife’s payslip, even though she is not the main applicant. Then, on December 26, which is public holiday in Canada, you received a notification in the morning asking to submit your police character certificate and tax clearance. On January 25, 2025 you received a notification again to your drug clearance certificate, among other requested documents from the past few weeks. "WHAT IS DRUG CLERANCE CERTIFICATE "

Now, please clarify,did you apply visitor visa yourself or visa any agent or application to the Canadian Armed Forces or the police? Because this application doesn’t seem to resemble a typical visa application anymore !

Ha ha ha ha Indeed !! because I never heard of such demand..

Can you send a screenshot of the email header you received from the sender becos this seems unusual for IRCC to request a drug clearance.

IRCC does not request NDLEA clearance. Moreover, IRCC does not send email letters directly to applicants. Instead, they such letters to your portal if additional information is needed, and you receive an email notification to check your portal.

I don't know who you have been communicating with I have my suspicions.

The thing I would question is "portail.ircc". Shouldn't it be "portal"?? (assuming that IRCC actually does send emails directly to applicants which I don't think they do)

different44:



The mail

Has anyone had issues with inability to achieve air tickets reservation? it keeps giving me options for transfer or credit.

different44:



The mail

"portail.ircc" in the header looks suspicious. The spacing and formatting appear inconsistent and unprofessional, which is not typical of official IRCC communication. While IRCC may request background checks, they typically use like "Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)," not "drug clearance certificate." Additionally, documents requested by IRCC always have a specific deadline for submission, but this request looks suspicious and unusual..is fake!!

Portail is the French of portal.
