Pls what can one use as proof of ties to country apart from job, land, business and property? When someone with a great job earning like 700k a month gets a refusal with employment prospects, what could be the problem? Can TRV be applied for underage children under 16 without an accompanying adult application?

aworldcitizen:

Good Morning Nairalanders,

To all TRV applicants, I pray the long wait ends well. I applied for (visitor's visa) on Sept 12th via online, then found out paper route has been faster in recent months. Anxiety did set in but I managed to keep faith and praise on while waiting. My child and I got approval and I testify it happened only because God showed us Mercy and granted us Favour with the VO. I had been tempted to withdraw my application in the first week of November but I managed to keep my hope alive. Waiting is tasking on the mind,but It's advisable to distract yourself with other engagement if your time of intended travel permits you. (I, We,Us ) prayed and praised and God answered in His Mercies.

Timeline
Applied: Sept 12th
Biometrics: Sept 18th
Passport Request: Nov 19th
Drop off: Nov 21st
Pick up: Nov 23rd

No much need for you yet at all, let the July/August applicants do the worrying for now, they are way ahead of you on the queue....

My parents and sibling applied on October 12th in Abuja and got approved yesterday (Nov 6). Keep the hopes up!

ifeoluwasegun:


Thanks for your response sir.
But I've tried the web form, I uploaded, but upon submission always gives an error... THE REMOTE SERVER TURNED AN ERROR. 400 BAD REQUEST.
I'm hoping it'll still go through upon retrial, but is there another way out?
Or is it possible that the embassy gives anothr chance for document upload during the processing?
I really hope there's a solution to this, or is there a direct contact that I can relay this issue to?
I'll be going for the biometrics tomorrow morning.
Thanks.

Good morning everyone.

Please i need advice based on my family application.

I am a frequent traveller to the UK (currently have 2yrs visa) and my wife and child (a year old) have 6months UK visa which is still a virgin. We plan travelling before Dec tho.

However, we intend applying for Canada tourist visa after we return from our UK trip.

My question, CAN WE DO A PAPER ROUTE OR ONLINE ROUTE? WHICH IS BETTER FOT OUR STORY?

Also, my wife and I once applied for US visa 3 yrs ago before the birth of our child(We were refusef) and she applied for child birth visa term as medical (she was refused). Hearing Canada and America are sister country, I HOPE BEING REFUSED AN AMERICAN VISA WONT AFFECT OUR CHANCE OF GETTING THE CANADIAN VISA?

Thank you and I look forward for your advice, God bless.

OmoBendel24:


It work though, dunno why it's not working for you. Start from here then https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/nigeria/biometrics.html

Select Lagos or Abuja, whichever you want and register....

OmoBendel24:


They have improved, things aren't this way any more. For Lagos applicants, the link below should help you for appointment booking

To be honest as a new landed immigrant in Calgary I really wouldn't pick the NW as a first place to settle. It is a lovely area but most areas are largely "suburban" for the lack of a better description. Also transit isn't so great there as the lrt only gets up to a point and you're left with the bus. So the NW closer to downtown is probably better in terms of transit. Also driving means hitting deerfoot or crowchild trail which are the major highways connecting the NW to the south or downtown. This would mean having to deal with traffic if/when there are accidents. Another thing to consider is that most jobs are located downtown or in the south. That being said, the NW is a lovely area

Hey guys,

I am back again reading up but had to skip some pages cause of time.

So, we are back in Naija after the short landing. It was alright. I did not see all of Calgary to make an overall judgement. All I saw was white everywhere. The layering up helped a lot and I was not as cold as I thought I will be. We spent minimal time outdoors though.

We were able to get the basics done: SIN registration, health card registration, opened bank accounts with TD. Hubby tried the knowledge test for driver's license, failed the first time (because of one point-painful) but passed the second time. For me, I was not ready to fail o. I took vcole's advice - doing all knowledge and driving test when we return in the beautiful summer time .

Em, I decided to take my kids for a walk one day, being bundled inside the house for days. So, we layered up 4 layers! As we stepped outside, it was windy. It was -12 that day. I decided, let's go right, up the hill with the wind on our backs. We got to the top of the road, kids were sniffing, with emergency catarrh and I said, okay, let's turn back. that was when I understood the wind! It was biting!! My 7 year old enjoyed it!! It was exciting to her. But the younger one, hmmm, I had to carry her, put her on my shoulder so the wind won't blow on her face. This walk took a total of 6 minutes. I felt better when I got indoors. Will I do it again, sure!
What amazed me the most was days later, when the temperature increase to 6 degrees, we celebrated the warmth. Amazing how the body adjusts!

Hmm, I do not want to cause a big debate but, the cost of living when converted to naira is not a small money. I already knew that from all the knowledge I gathered from this thread, I was just not ready to calculate it. It all boils down to, is it worth it in the end? Yes, yes and yes!

Next step for me now is to find a good elementary school.

Please can you guys advice me on which areas to avoid in Calgary. Someone has mentioned NE. Does this mean the whole NE??

Thank you!
Please my Calgary peeps, Salford, Vcole et al..Is the NE truely to be avoided? If yes, why? Unsafe? Gangsterism?
