You may be right about the age and gender thing, but the grace of God and his mercy. There are a couple of guys about 28 going for their Masters and who got their visas. Once u are lucky with the Visa officer in charge of your case, then you should get it once all other things are fine. Mine is about 70 days now. What do you guys think can be the challenge? Can it be verification taking forever? What's your take?

Please guys, GO TO THE EMBASSY. At this point that is your best bet. . . .to continue waiting is very risky.

Sounds like both of you guys are going to Alberta. . . . . when (not if) your visas and all come through, I may be able to give you some contacts in Edmonton and Calgary.

Keep the faith and don't lose hope!

may i never be in this position again. i recently went for an appraisal. i was the only one without my original documents. now how do i hope to get hired when am about to travel to study? the man asked me where my documents were i said its in the embassy. he asked me what i intend doing , i lied and told him i want to attend a conference. I dont think he believed me. he asked that i present my documents again before the end of the month for verification. I really dont know what to do now.
if they are not giving me canadian visa, see how im about to lose an another opportunity? my house rent is due. right now im stuck. do i renew or not?Huh?? if the answer is No candian visa, i still have dundee for september 6th.but how do i apply to another UK visa when my documents have been literally seized???

ah canada see me ooohh.

@ igbogolo

I think you are being too complacent. I remember at the time of my application, while it was still under consideration, I had to go to Abuja for a Commonwealth Scholarship Interview, so I went back to the Embassy and asked to be given my originals to pursue my scholarship applications, and I was given.

I'm just saying that to show you that these embassy people can be talked to - do not hesitate to do go there.

You guys should get together and go to the embassy. After all you submitted genuine documents and all, there is nothing they can do to you - the worst is they say we won't give you the visa. But to just sit and wait idly will not help. Be proactive, ask if there is anything holding up the application that you can help clear up or verify.

I have sent you a mail kindly check your box as soon as possible. I guess we should arrange to go to the embassy this week, if its convenient, maybe on Thursday.

Thanks to everyone for their ideas, advice and all.

Another issue about going to the Canadian embassy, is that it is difficult to go in cos I have been there twice and I was told to fill a form they came back and told me they would reach me as soon as they were done with processing the application. This was over a month ago.

Is there any advice on what to do when we get there?  I saw people claiming appointments and were allowed in. I don't know if it's a good idea to claim an appointment in order to be allowed in? Suggestions would be appreciated especially from someone who went there lately because they seem to have changed their system.

God bless.

Well you've waited over a month, I suggest you go and insist on seeing someone. You have to be persistent my friend, don't just treat it with kids gloves. Even if you are refused the first time, show up again - this is an important matter and they cannot simply brush you off like that.

I personally do not believe it is that difficult to go in - like I have mentioned, I went there TWICE after submitting my documents without an appointment and each time I did, I got in and saw the embassy officials.

I do not know if the system has changed since you last visited, that information would be helpful too.

God bless

hi nairalanders,
i found a website on migration to canada (migrationexpert.com/canada). i visited it and was asked to answer some questions, after which i was told i qualify to migrate as a skilled worker. I even got to the interview stage, after which i was told i can now start processing my visa, but after paying 409 CAD for an advanced migration service.

please are they for real? have they actually helped anyone to migrate?
am confused. Huh

@ Elando, You don't have to pay anyone a dime. The skilled worker program application process is a straight forward thingy. You go on CIC website print the simplified application process form, fill the form and send it to the nearest cic office which I am assuming is Ghana since your profile says naija(please correct me if am wrong) with your application fee. it will take some time even years but if you have your sh*t together I am sure it will work out for u.

This agent that is asking u to throw away $409 is not like he/she is going to tell u what is not on their website already or that there are other ways of applying for the skilled worker program that folks don't know about, unless he/she is a "wuru wuru agent" and they are going to use illegal means to get u to canada. I suggest u just use the money towards your application fee and hopefully things will work out for u by God's grace. $409 no be small money.
