I am planning a visit to Canada with my lovely wife.

[Rcooper24]

My wife and I are planning an October trip to Canada for our Anniversary. We currently have 3,000 USD in our joined bank account with 13,000 USD in cash but not at the bank. She also has a business and I work as an ICT Analyst for the government. Our adopted daughter will stay at home with the caretaker and 3 properties for about 24,000 USD. We are from Africa, and for the past 3 years, we have visited several African countries as a couple and want to visit Canada for our first Anniversary. Guys kindly advise us, we will hardly appreciate any recommendation.

We do not have any invite, we do not know anyone in Canada.
We plan to visit for a week or two, just visit places, and return.
We are from Liberia West Africa.

The country we have visited:
Ghana 2 times
Nigeria 1 time
Ivory Coast 1time
Guinea 1 time
Rwanda 1 time
Uganda 1 time
Togo 1 time
.

TBH it doesn’t make sense that you chose Canada as your first country to visit outside of Africa for your anniversary . As you mentioned you don’t know anyone here .It would strengthen your application if you showed you had visas for countries such as the UK, USA, Australia, Europe , and followed the rules in your stay.

The countries you’ve shown you’ve visited wouldn’t strengthen your application

And the money you’ve shown is low. The airfare alone for one person , round trip would be close to $3000 . You’d use up a lot of your funds on airfare alone. Airfare from Africa to North America is very expensive. And that’s not even including hotels etc while you’re here

If I can see the inconsistencies,and I’m not a visa officer , you can bet the VO who reviews visa applications will definitely see them

Where are you visiting for one week? 15KUSD is not a lot of money. Canada is expensive!

 

[Copingwithlife]

….adding going all that way “ for a week or two “, definitely would raise the VO eyebrows

 

[Buletruck]

Yeah, so the cheapest flights from Monrovia to TO are going to burn a third of your cash.....something IRCC will be cognisant of when you apply for a TRV. Wouldn't be holding my breath.

 

[Rcooper24]

What are your recommendations?

 

[Naturgrl]

What are your recommendations?

What is your itinerary for one week? How much is your budget including airfare? Why not Europe? Why Canada? If spending all your money for a one week visit, IRCC will be concerned you don’t have enough money.

 

[steaky]

What are your recommendations?

1) Visit one or more of these countries first: UK, USA, Australia, Europe, Japan
2) Save more money before you apply for visa to Canada

I had a visa for Dubai but did not go due to my work urgency.
Secondly, I will be visiting Canada shortly for a Business Trip next month.
After I return, will that be a better Travel history?

So if visiting Canada, you have a TRV already. This may help you but not your wife. What is your itinerary?

Perhaps it's a single entry TRV, which means he can enter Canada once.

I smell an asylum claim coming our way..

I smell an asylum claim coming our way..

Cut them some slack. They have a child and would go back..

I smell an asylum claim coming our way..

Your comment is senseless...so because they are from Africa you smell asylum. How about other country individuals asking about using fake documents to get 100% approval? I didn't see your comments under that. Because you guys just have a myopic mindset that all Africans are suffering and looking for ways to seek asylum.

..be more sensible with your comments
