If they had the capacity to process a visa in 10 days, why were they doing 60 days in the first instance - just because they can and this is naija? Someone please clarify

dangiwa09: .... this does not mean they'll increase number of actual visa issuance, it only means they'll revert to their original 10 days processing time. 10 days was their norm prior to early 2012, nothing new. Canada remains the most difficult visa to get, its easier to get British and American visas than Canadian visa. Canada even routinely deny Americans and Brits entry into Canada at their airport, and send them back home from their airport. As for your perceived notion that Canada wants your medical trip money, ... Canada has a socialized medical care, medical care is FREE for everyone, just present your OHIP card and you will be taken care of. Hospitals in Canada do not need your stolen money, they ara well organised and funded.
Yes. but you still pay heavily for your medicals though if you have not got trv or pr or you use the facility of a province you don't reside in.

. Its majorly a land filled with immigrants...even the whiteys are not Canadians, they are immigrants.
so who are Canadians? If my generation (white from England) go as far back as 1650 living in Canada, then I guess have all right to be called a full blooded Canadian.

Nice Move, buh that country is expensive sha.

Tell me bout it. Just got back from toronto on a quick 2 day trip over xmas. Expensive is putting it nicely. Ish is ridiculous out there.
On the bright side, they accept US dollars, so i didn't have to change much of mine, hence shortchanging them a penny to the dollar per transaction . . BOO YA! cool (1 usd = .99 cad)

Re: Canada Reduces Waiting Time For Visa Applicants by AAC: 7:56pm On Dec 28, 2012
The reason why things are expensive in Canada is because two levels of taxation is applied on every item purchased. The GST (5%) and PST (7%). My advice to those who'll like to do their undergraduate study in Canada or outside Nig. is to make sure u can fund urself without hoping on scholarship or jobs. Life is much easier when u'r thr for ur post-graduate study.

Canadian govt want oil money. Consider the amount we spend yearly 4 oversee admission. Can't we use the money to make our universities to standard. Nigerians shld be wise

I RESIDE IN TORONTO PRESENTLY. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR,WHOEVER WANTS TO IMMIGRATE OR STUDY HERE IN CANADA SHOULD PLEASE TAKE THE TIME OUT TO LEARN A HAND-WORK.
THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT YOU DON`T HAVE TO COME HERE AND START WORKING IN THE FACTORY, WHERE YOU GET LESS PAY, AND YOU ARE BEING WORN OUT.
HAND WORK(SUCH AS BARBING, HAIR-DRESSING, MECHANIC ETC) IS BIG MONEY HERE WHERE YOU GET TO MAKE ABOUT 2OO DOLLARS A DAY WITHOUT TAX.
WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS HERE. NO RACE OWN CANADA...

Canadian high commission in Ghana issues permanent resident visa, also known as `landed` to Nigerians,Ghanians,Togolese.. etc that wants to relocate to Canada. The one in Naija is a Consulate, and issues all type of visas except `landed`visa.

Who told you it's the hardest to get? I still think getting a uk tourist visa is more complicated than a canadian one. U need to visit the uk thread n read some of the reasons people are denied ..

HAND WORK(SUCH AS BARBING, HAIR-DRESSING, MECHANIC ETC) IS BIG MONEY HERE WHERE YOU GET TO MAKE ABOUT 2OO DOLLARS A DAY WITHOUT TAX. ----------------------------------------- Spoken truthfully. Studied in canada from high school through to post graduate, worked for four years then packed up and relocated bk to Kenya. Canada is a beautiful country beautiful place to be and quite friendly. Is it expensive? Nope UK is worse. As for schools look into small town schools like Trent, Brock, etc. Look for schools in Edmonton the weather is dreadful but easy to get jobs as you school. Each province has its own rules especially in regards to foreigners and work. ----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------- Yes we are or i was. Great as it maybe Kenya Africa is still the place to be. You can learn alot out there make money but you will leave from paycheck to paycheck. In a developing world you can import what you learnt and become wealthy. If you have a chance to go, go for it but never make a foreign country your home.

Well I love love my country.. My point, is any developing country that has good leadership and great policies is the place to be, you can just feel it in the air that something is bound to explode..I love Africa, love itttttttt, and there are so many things to create, to develop, to build.

Kenya has its own share of problems because number one we very political especially now we are in a political year. BUT with our new constitution we as a people are unstoppable and with it we are able to make the politicians accountable.

Yes am here in Kenya and its very easy coming over as a Tourist cause you can get a Visa at point of entry, why exactly would you want to come over? For school, business, job opportunities, etc. Please inform me and I will try my best to give you the correct information.

Funny thing about Nigeria its a great country with amazing potential, the sleeping giant, trouble is leadership and corruption. Nigeria, best music everrrrr, movies they keep us here in Kenya entertained, fashion other than Ghana you got that, you got people with great business ideas, Nigerians or rather West Africans have entrepreneurship in their blood even in Canada you see them, and your men wow muy caliente. Above all i love your attitudes.

Oh and one thing you should know about Nigerians especially in Canada is their loving nature towards other Africans. Kenyans are individualistic while Nigerians are family, community oriented. When I was alone out there they used to make sure I was never stressed or lonely. They were very protective towards me, am non confrontational but when I was in a tough bind they used to come to my aid guns blazing. Nigerians in my book are OK.
