dasizzling:
thanks for the info Nadina. please is this a yearly fee or monthly?

philip3:


We just sent an invite letter jointly that is my wife and I both signed and got it notorized.
The daughter in nigeria sponsored her so she showed her own bank details.

I think to sponsor you should have filed taxes,not sure but you may want to find out from the cic website cos there is a checklist of documents needed based on your own situation.

nadina:


Hello Dasizzling,

The amounted I quoted are monthly fees.

I'm asking question about visit visa and not the super visa. Does my mother-in-law need to show evidence of income or can I write a letter to show that I will be responsible for her expenses?

I'm just worried about the finance part

People coming to Calgary.....

1) DO NOT book an AIRBNB in the NW ....it's the end of the world... In my opinion

2) Ensure to write your address in your pocket, should your phone die, that paper can save your life, especially during winter/cold.

3) Before leaving home during winter, charge your phone properly, the cold drains battery.

3) Uber fees are crazy here, please learn and perfect the use of Google map from Naija.... You will need the CALGARY TRANSIT APP.....

4) DON use the Calgary Transit app with small kids when you never Sabi use am oooo, if you lost, do it on your own, don't torture the little kids..nah you come Sabi

5) A Nigerian needs to come open a barbershop in this Calgary... Around downtown oooo.... Don't carry us to the bush....

Good day people,

Just to give an update which may be beneficial to anyone on passport expiry less than 6 months before travelling.

So my application was approved and i got all our passports and COPRs in January 2018. My passport was due to expire in May 2018. My spouse however, insisted i renew my passport before we travel because we did not know if we would be allowed to travel with less than six moths validity on my passport. I called Lufthansa and they do not seem to have a fulfilling response as they do not understand what an immigrant visa was and that it is better to have a validity above 6 months so as to avoid any hassles. I renewed my passport and wrote an email to Ottawa, Accra and LVO to inform them i would be renewing my visa. My thinking was that the visa would still be valid as with other visas i have experienced. The next day our CIC/Express Entry profile changed from Approved to "We are awaiting a decision....." and all the counterfoil information removed.

To my great surprise i received an email from LVO that all previously issued COPRs were cancelled and invalid, and we should send all documents (including all family members) back to Accra and wait for further instructions. We were all worried. We sent all the documents through DHL back to Accra and waited for further instructions. 2 days after i received the email requesting for us to pay $120CAD through the online platform for visa re-issue which i did immediately. Then the sudden silence from LVO starts; and we have 5 more weeks until our validity expires, no update on our account profile and no information from them for about 3 weeks and until today that our application on the profile now shows approved. New counterfoil issued and the old ones shown as invalid.

I meant that someone had shared this info that you pay 2k per bag containing agricultural products.

It's a fairly new development and they give you a receipt and all...aka, there's no escaping it I guess

Randomsue:


Thank you!

Changed naira to CAD with BDC from naija

I thought to share this from a post in the part 1 thread. I wouldn't know if its referenced in page 1. But if it's not, i think it could be helpful.

My passport and hubby's passport had less than six months validity (cos we got our visas since last year). We went ahead & renewed our passports and we travelled with both old and new passport on the 29th of March and nothing happened, no questions were asked both at Lagos and Toronto airport, we did our landing formalities as per usual. We did not contact CIC or AVO prior to our trip cos our tickets were purchased already, travelling date was close and I didn't need any extra AVO drama. I just munched a piece of info I saw on CIC website which states that it's ok to do so just incase. But no immigration was bordered with that. Abeg....

gaggle:


Please where was this 2k collected? I travelled via Lagos airport on 29th of March and I didn't pay kobo to nobody. My bags were not even checked and I had enough agric produce including palm oil self.

U were lucky to be put on the flight to Vancouver. U can't believe we are still in a hotel in Toronto waiting to be put on a flight to Calgary on 2nd of April since 30th March... Ethiopian airline sef

bolodre:
Why this And who bears the cost of the hotel, feeding too/?

Landing gist...LONG POST ALERT

We had the most terrifyingly long trip I've ever read about but I'm glad for journey mercies...family of 4 (with a toddler and a 5yo) via Ethiopian air

We left on Thursday, March 28 and MMA guys were a breeze, we were asked to tip at the entrance and also pay for 2k for each bag with agricultural products, but no biggie, thanks to info from here.

joo2018:
Hmm. Another option on traveling with an almost expired passport - replacing your passport and changing your visa.

It is not currently eferenced on page 1.

Wow! What a journey! Thank God you are finally home. I think we were on the same flight up until Toronto. I was able to do my SIN at the airport, single traveler though. My flight to Calgary was just being announced ad I got to my boarding gate.
