@ Glitteringstar, Canadianfly, 40man, macstan, newmum, mumyjaygirls & other Seniors too numerous to mention.

Thank you for your guidance so far.
Got ITA around 11pm last night.
With your guidance, I have been able to gather all required documents b4 ITA except Statement of account.
Hi, congratulations on your ITA. I am happy for you but i want to advise you. Firstly, don't be in a rush to submit your application whether you have gathered all documents or not. take your time to cross the Ts. I don't know why i decided to tell you this though. Just be patient. If possible review your application severally before you submit. On the issue of the money paid into your account, submit your statement the way it is. I think you will be fine. what they usually look out for is a huge sum of money making up a good chunk of your POF just after you get your ITA and in this case, i think $4,700 is negligible compared to how much was in the account before. Please don't rush to submit. go over and over your application before you submit. It will end in praises

@bigfido please for the corporate SOA how many months did you submit? Then for the tax clearance certificate did you submit just the most recent one or for all the years you've been in operation. I know the tax clearance should be done yearly
I don't think you need to submit corporate tax clearance. Your personal tax is equally important. That was hat I submitted. For corporate account, I submitted 1 year account. I also highlighted payments from my corporate account to my personal account as monies earned.

Ppr- Jan 29


For the ADR I got, I was asked for additional proof of employment for myself employed work. The requested for contract documents, photos, tax returns etc. I was also asked to provide detailed explanation why a certain company was always depositing money into my account. Some few months back, @boss13 wrote extensively here about what documents you should submit before for your proof of employment.. I mocked him, I was asked for those documents exactly has he said it. I am sorry for my actions. Please go through his TL for those documents. London is not a joke. The trauma is intense. I am on different whatsapp group and the agitations are very intense. Try your best to submit those documents. Documents I submitted for my self employed work includes contracts, cac document, lirs tax card, ID cards, call cards, bank statement highlighting payments for the contracts I submitted, screen shots of official emails, practice licence, receipts and invoices

I have been at this journey since 2015. If you go to the first thread, first few pages, you will find me there. It has been a surreal experience but I thank God it ended in praises. I wish you all the best of luck

There's really no much difference between Ip1 and Ip2 . So if you missed the NA stage in between the two stages, one might not really be able to tell. Or this there a way to tell?
not true. during IP1, you background check information will be "your application is in progress blah blah blah" and during IP2, it will be "we are processing your background check blah blah blah" except if you are a CEC candidate.

In my opinion it is sis. No harm in also waiting for the TRF to get to you.
it is fraud to put a trf number generated before you get your trf form? what is special about trf number? number that is sequential? so if i see my result online and i can't go pick up my trf and i know how to generate the trf number, i should wait and miss ITA? how is it even fraud?

Nice post, but you're wrong by saying Nigeria is unknown. Infact, you have the freedom to control your life in Nigeria without committing anything to the govt

As a high earner in Nigeria, you have the option of sending your kids to the best schools here or abroad, the choice is yours

You can produce your own electricity if you don't want to depend on the govt for it, you can remove yourself entirely from paying PHCN bills with no questions asked, hence you can put on your light knowing there will be light all the time. Try alternative power or move to areas with good light supply e.g Osun, Jos, Abuja etc tongue

Also, you can chose to stay in service flats with 24/7 light supply and 24/7 security, you don't have to travel to Canada to achieve this, trust me if you can afford a service flat you can have this too. Or better still, take advantage of security gadgets like alarms and such, you can also get a gun licence or employ private security guards

In Nigeria, just get a sim, register and use your line to access any state or country in the world, no need for long stories, pay as you go, o'er second billing, cheap data

Your flat should have water running but if it doesn't, I personally will prefare supplying my own treated water via boreholes so that I can maintain the standard to my taste, if this is not your forte, make sure you rent a flat or house with running water or find out how you can get your house connected to the govt's own.

In Lagos, I assure you that emergency numbers are all working, I'm not too sure about other States but in Lagos, it works.

To avoid Maina eating your pension funds, you can subscribe to any reputable RSA of your choice and if you are into private business, you can try life assurance policy, these are privately owned not govt's so no Mainas here

For relaxation, you can plan summer trips or seasonal trips as you wish and I assure you, if you can prove that you are a genuine traveller, getting a visa wouldn't be an issue for you. Let them know you aren't deserting your country and you will definitely get visa without stress

To be sure your children will never experience strikes by lecturers, you can make use of the numerous private universities we have down here, 100% strike free

As for hospitals, try researching for good ones and get familiar with your doctors also take advantage of HMOs to get good deals for your medical insurance. It will save you a lot of money

Who will take care of senior citizens? Definitely children, relatives or even good Samaritans. It's hard to come across an elderly person without at least a helper but if such occurs, old people's homes are still available here. If you have the money, you can get a life long domestic staff to support and care for you in the comfort of your home

When next you arrive and someone askes you "Wetin you bring come?* smile and tell him nothing, if you need someone to welcome you with a smile, you can invite friends and family to pick you up at the Airport

The land is truly green and beautiful.
No offence meant and i apologise if you take any.. this is the most ludicrous and ridiculous thing i have read in my entire existence about Nigeria's pros. wtf??

Late post
Thanks guys for all the plenty congratulations lol.

Plenty has been said about London VO let me share what I know it may help someone.

First of all if you've had a visa refusal you MAY most likely end up in London. Those guys are not like Ottawa, they scrutinize most applications. That being said you MAY want to be proactive and submit things like your payslips and employment letter (of course your reference letter is a must).

You won't be rejected cos you dint submit them. If they need any, they'll ask you for it, the thing is it MAY delay your application by some days.

If you don't have your payslips I'll advice you write an LOE when you're submitting your application so they don't bother asking you for it.

I was asked to submit proof of funds again so please keep the 'dough' intact, with London VO anything is possible.

If you're self employed get your tax documents ready cos they'll most likely ask for it, some that are not self employed were asked for this also.
Someone (self employed) was asked to show example of what his company had done (I have no idea what they wanted).

Well this seems to be the trend for now. It may change soon, you never know.

And please if you're a lazy reader like me use the search bar, it would help you a lot. Any issue you're having I can bet more than 10 people here have had it and have gotten solutions from our seniors.

All the best
Hi, please for self employed, is it personal tax or company tax they request for?
