Wait till you get the visa 1st and Canadian Embassy gives the length of your passport and it can be used anytime during the validity period.

Midnightvortex:
Good morning.
I applied on the 9th of August via paper route. I got my BVL mail this morning. However, the purpose of my intended visit is over. I'm being optimistic here, can I still use the visa to travel when I eventually get it. The validy of the visa is 6 months, correct?

Thank you as you make your contributions.

Request for your GCMS note for details of the refusal

Skyloloprince:
Good Morning house, can I appeal a visa denial?
No reason was giving for denying the visa, all documents summited. How can I go about this.

Good day all,

Please how do I check to know when eligibility/background review has started?

Hello guru,

How do I compress my document to 4MB without altering the quality?

All efforts to reduce document has proved abortive.

While some uploaded sections(Travel history, business, and passport) has little or no documentation, I am struggling to compress my mean of financial support and client details to 4MB. Does it make sense and less confusing to move some of those documents to travel history and business section?

After battling to drop it to 5.3MB with adobe distiller, I could not even read the document...


Guidance urgently needed. Thanks.

@Enick

For compression I used the link below,

Use the above of your file if its in pdf format.

I don't think it's wise to upload a document to another opening, it can confuse the VO and delay application.

I hope this helps.

But as for paper applications am not sure.

The Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday said that the nationwide implementation of the cashless policy will begin by March 2020.

The apex bank said this in a circular to all Deposit Money Banks in the country.

It said that implementation of the policy would signal the imposition of charges on deposits in addition to already existing charges on withdrawals.

According to the circular, the charges, which take effect from Wednesday (today) will attract three per cent processing fees for withdrawals and two per cent processing fees for lodgments of amounts above N500, 000 for individual accounts.


For corporate accounts, the apex bank in the circular said that DMBs would charge five per cent processing fees for withdrawals and three per cent processing fee for lodgments of amounts above N3, 000, 000.

The statement, however, disclosed that the charge on deposits would apply in Lagos, Ogun, Kano, Abia, Anambra, and Rivers States as well as the Federal Capital Territory.

It added that the implementation of the cashless policy would take effect from March 31, 2020......Gbese....

Thank you

Sorry to hear, Request for your GCMS note for details of the refusal.

Hi guys I have some questions

1. if one gets a visitors visa and doesn't use it are there consequences ?
2. if one gets a visitors visa and travels, is it wrong to decide to apply for work permit over there?

I got a final decision on my application today..paper route...no pick up mail...I was denied on no travel experience..still shocked ..been to UK,Us,Dubai and south Africa.many times,I wish I know what to do next

Looks like it's raining denial with Canada at the moment. I also got my visa refusal today based on travel history and not sure if I'll comr back bla bla..

Anyways, I saw something on Twitter and thought to share. Someone said if you apply online it's the embassy in London that will reply you rather than our cousins in Kenya. If approved you'll be asked to send your passport to VFS office in Lekki who will then send to their Lagos embassy to put the visa on.

Just thought to share. I don't know the authenticity though

wow it seems they are just denying people as they like oo cause what do dey want again after u been to USA and Uk

They are aware you have travel history but might have issues with it as regards documentation, consistency, activities and purpose of travel.

Your assertion is right. I submitted online application for my aged dad and response of approval came from London VO 2 weeks ago to submit passport for visa in Lagos.

I guess my document is obviously too much. I have used all the possible pdf compressor yet I can't reduce it below 5.4mb. Thinking of removing some files but wondering if those removed document may be the magic medicine.
