WTK Canadian Visa

[netsket]

When applying for a Canadian Visa do I apply for a multiple or single entry for visiting purposes.

the reason I asking this is...if I apply for multiple and dont get it would I get a single entry automatically or will my application be denied and I will have to reapply for a single entry???

netsket, but what do u plan to do?

u want multiple entries or u going just one time?

multiple or single...same criteria.

oh by the way my and my fam had 10 yrs canadian visa..... and it expire..and we re-apply and all of us get 1 yr!

one fricken year dread!!

they real harsh now on visa!

[netsket]

once for now but im thinking I might be visiting once ever year...so I shud jus apply for the multiple...one effort, hassle, cost.

[DFC]

netsket, hope you get it..they real harsh on the requirements now for granting a visa.

better luck is to lime in tobago and pick up one of them old american greng greng and marry she for visa.

[netsket]

We have US visas already...will that make our chances to get Canadian Visas any better?

[Psyche22]

You should apply for a multiple entry visa, especialy if you're applying for a Canadian visa for the first time (you don't want to give anyone the impression that you're going to enter Canada once and not leave). If you apply for a multiple entry and you are rejected, you do not get a single entry visa and you have to wait six months to re-apply.

[DFC]

We have US visas already...will that make our chances to get Canadian Visas any better?

NO. my cousin got an american visa and they blank her.

must have stable permanent job, at least $60G in the bank, a wife and kids .

or be under the age of 21 and attending university full time and under full care of ur parents who fit the requirements above.

according to this i think i better go with the single entry

wah bout payment of fees? Scotiabank or TTPost? I seeing the website say Scotiabank..but ah partner went to get his visa recently and he telling me TTPost

[netsket]

just sharing the info i found....i guess it answers my question about getting the single automatically.

Please indicate whether you are applying for a single entry or a multiple entry visa. If you plan to travel to Canada on a regular basis, you may wish to apply for a multiple entry visa; however, if the visa officer decides to issue a single entry visa only, you will not receive a refund. If you are applying for a visa to enable you to travel between Canada and the mainland of the United States on a single trip, you do not need a multiple entry visa as long as you re-enter Canada within the validity of your visa.

go for multiple

[Psyche22]

We have US visas already...will that make our chances to get Canadian Visas any better?

No it will not help your chances....the Canadians don't care about your US Visa.

Canadian Visa payments should ONLY be made at a branch of Scotia Bank.
US Visa payments are made at TTPost.

[Sumana.00]

Basically ya the officers @ the Canadian embassy think they're more canadian than Canadians themselves (esp the security) so it's all down to their mood

[DevilZ]

leave trinidad, go to buffalo and apply from there...i hearin some sheit now too bout them eh processing visas same day again...

[Damien]

[DevilZ]

well gimme ur tix fuh d GP nah...mine eh reach yet

[Rooki3]

you might have better luck applying for a US visa

bottom line is they don't want us black people in their country

so...visit the dominican republic and ask for devrat

[Chemical]

I say that without fear...we are all seen as unwanted black people in their state...be it indian/african or whatever

pioneer,

I have lived there for over 18 yrs, am a Canadian by birth & to me Canada tends to allow alot of Indians & Chinese as Immigrants into their country as most of them tend to settle in the GTA.

[Sumana.00]

they let u in alot too if you're going into areas like NB, cos they're trying to populate it

[DevilZ]

yea but no-one likes NB...the most boring place on earth

[Ignorant Ignis]

have you previously held a Canadian visa?

If not ..... then go tobago and follow DFCs instructions

netsket, pick up one of them old Canadian greng greng and marry she for visa.

[netsket]

guys and gals, i went to day and have to go back with proof of income tax returns ( to prove my earnings ), my wife and i have to be present and have an interview......

ANy tips from persons who had an interview and got approval.....

Funny thing is i went to the US embassy last week and the officer asked us 5 questions and granted us 10 years......she did not ask to see bank statements, job letters, assets etc etc...nothing of the sort....she just looked at my passport and their application form.................

I have never travelled abroad before too......

thanks for any tips to help us in the interview......u can pm me if you wish

[Damien]

Premera, all that you have do ??? that is real sheit and the most you might get is just one year, just go in the us and done them people in that embassy sad yes that is a money making scheme setta mc

[Premera]

my relatives in the US told me that i should not have paid for the Canadian appointment here....all i needed to do was come to the US and go to the canadian embassy in the US, tell them i wanna visit relatives in Canada, get a couple days visa and my PP stamped and when i came back to trinidad go to the embassy here.......the fact that the book got stamped there would help in getting a VISA from trinidad.......

If i am declined, im gonna try this route and let you all know......
