With Nigerian passports, it is going to be incredibly difficult to get TRVs considering the surge in asylum claims in Canada.


1. Have you attended similar conferences in other visa-required countries?
2. Who will be paying for the visit and airfare?
3. Why would your husband accompany you to a conference?
4. When does your study program finish in the UK?
5. Do you have children? If yes, how old are they and what do they do? Where do they live?

Well you appear to be so negative about this. I will answer your question one after the other:
1. I have attended conferences in other visa required country since I started my PhD in England and I was granted the visa without stress.
2. I am responsible for the payment of my visit/fare.
3. It's my choice for my husband to accompany me, as I don't see anything bad in it, and that's not his first time accompanying me.
4. I will be finishing my program in October 2019.
5. I have one child, he is 3 years old, leave in the UK and at the nursery.

Thanks...

There's no negativity here. Just stating the facts. You probably believe you have a strong application, but unfortunately it does not seem like it.

I will answer your question one after the other:
1. I have attended conferences in other visa required country since I started my PhD in England and I was granted the visa without stress.

You probably realize that each country has its own entry criteria. Canada is arguably one of the more difficult countries to get a visitor visa/TRV.

Which countries did you attend the conferences?
Did you pay to attend those conferences as well?
Do you have any valid visas?

2. I am responsible for the payment of my visit/fare.

3. It's my choice for my husband to accompany me, as I don't see anything bad in it, and that's not his first time accompanying me.

4. I will be finishing my program in October 2019.

It would have helped if you were applying next year when you will be defending your doctoral thesis. But, you cannot change the situation. It is a tie to return to the UK.

5. I have one child, he is 3 years old, leave in the UK and at the nursery.

Who will take care of your son when you are visiting?

There's nothing you can do but to wait patiently as processing has not crossed the IRCC posted time

Please I want to know whether I still need an invitation letter to attend a conference in Toronto since I have a valid multiple entry Canadian visit visa. I apply for the visa to attend a tech conference in 2021 and it was approved in 2023. And this time I want to travel to Canada for the same conference. What will I do? Should I travel without invitation or should I look for invitation letter.
