TravelRe: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by clayfounder: 11:24am On May 24, 2025
Rxick:
My family and I recently returned from a trip to the USA, and one of the most memorable places was Keystone Lake in Oklahoma. If you love nature, water recreation and are looking for a place to recharge from the hustle and bustle of the city, you should definitely check it out. Pay special attention to the boat rental at Pier 51 https://pier51keystone.com/keystone-lake-boat-rentals/ - excellent service, friendly staff, all equipment in perfect condition. We rented a pontoon for the whole day - had a lot of fun, rode on the lake, enjoyed the sun, swam and even had a picnic right on the water. The boat was clean, comfortable and safe - even the children were comfortable. The rental price, by the way, is quite reasonable, especially if you split it among a group.
Oga, nobody asked for a travel diary. People here are focused on how to ace the visa interview and japa to the USA.looking for real opportunities, not bedtime stories about skyscrapers and sunsets. Your “unforgettable” experience might mean something to you, but it’s not helpful or relevant here. Stay on topic or post that elsewhere where people care!!

Im most grateful and thank you so much. Someone earlier told me to take Obalende to Ajah and drop at Ikate Junction. Is this same as Lekki? I'm asking because I dnt know Lagos well..
Hey boss, Lagos is massive o! You must keep your eyes wide open when you are crossing those expressways – no playing at all! 😅 Before you go, tell your people in the village in Oyo State that you are going to Lagos, and please, keep your money and passport inside your inner trouser – no dulling! Give your number to people you trust, just in case you walk away and get stuck in a one-way. Safe trip and enjoy the madness and magic of Lagos!

Thank you Angie.

Well,i have been through alot with my agent before we got to this stage, we fight, quarrel, returned funds back and forth, Infact, you guys don't wanna hear the full gist but somehow, I believe everything's gonna come out clean.

Besides,done upfront medicals.
Positive LMIA received by *him*.. Emphasis on *him* because I didn't get to see it..
Job offer signed but I didn't get to do it myself either.
I just needed a time frame to prepare my mind for the best.
OUR MUMU NO TOO MUCH!!

Agent apply work visa for you and the most important document (LMIA) in the whole application is hidden from you
but you sign one job offer toilet paper printed under the bridge in Lagos to apply visit visa for you and you expecting work permit from Canada
and you still believe it not a scam =)

Abeg prepare your mind for the worst because best is missing in this ur situation and l hope you never sell ur landed properties?

Same here. Was just refused a second time, even with active UK visa. First time they said I did not provide enough evidence. Now I packed all the evidence and still got refused. Waiting for the GCM note.

I think they should make it clear that canada no longer accepts tourists from Nigeria. So that Nigerians stop wasting time and money applying.
Canada don turn us to revenue generation CDN$ 354 million ..God dey ooo

Greetings
Pls I need advice on what to do, my family VV was denied yesterday morning.
Biometric date was Feb 10th for a church conference coming up May15.
Reason stated was
I am not satisfied you have a legitimate business purpose in Canada. It's also the same on my wife's profile. And my son's who is under 3 reason was different.
His reason stated that I am not satisfied you will leave at the end of your stay. Also the purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.
Does this mean the conference isn't legitimate or what because a friend of mine also received the same reason as mine and my wife and other of my friend reason is same as my son.
Pls what can we do in this situation. Your candid advice will go along way for me and my friends on what next to do. Thanks
Pls advice me on what to do

Then you will understand na wrong route you channel ur japa as thoes tricks don cast with over 13,000 Nigerians who arrived in canada last year 2024 claim asylum and some of them na same holy conference they use enter canada .

I’m not in Ukraine anymore, and besides, I don’t recruit students; I only give free tips to people who want to travel. I got my information from here, and I was able to utilize the opportunity to learn more. I’m one of the few people who benefited from the Ukraine war, and I’m a PR holder in Canada. Many people have benefited from the information I shared here on this platform. I met Otowatosin and Victor in Germany during my short stay and many more. Never affiliated with any company. There are a lot of legit conferences you can explore. I’m given my tips based on my own experience.
Conference money are not refundable and majority are getting refused so ur advice to people to explore the conference route to claim asylum don cast ...a beg rest ur case nd park one side nd u not the first nigerian to marry a ukrainian or pay a ukrainian for fake marriage atleast ukraine is one of the most corrupt country in europe nd if u like meet a ghost in germany!

Jossy4love:
Hello everyone, today I want to talk about the Canada visa process, specifically the study and tourist visa routes. There are many pathways to Canada, but I’ll focus on these two because they are among the most popular.

One common mistake people make is blaming agents for their visa refusals. The truth is, an agent is not a consular officer, they don’t make the final decision on your application. Their job is to guide you, help you write a strong Statement of Purpose (SOP), and advise you on the necessary documents to improve your chances. However, the information you provide plays a huge role in the outcome.

I’ll be sharing some free tips on how to get your visa approved without relying on an agent, starting with the study visa route.

Study Visa Route
Before applying for a study visa, it's important to fully understand what you’re applying for. Many people make the mistake of applying for a lower-level program than their existing qualifications. For example, if you already have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science but apply for a diploma in Computer Science, this raises red flags. The visa officer may wonder why you’re taking a step backward academically, leading to a refusal. The same applies to those with an ND (National Diploma) or HND (Higher National Diploma) who apply for a diploma in the same field, it’s unlikely to be approved.

Another major mistake is using a fake bank statement or submitting a sponsor’s bank statement without proof of relationship. Some applicants also deposit a large sum of money into their account suddenly without a proper explanation, which can be seen as an attempt to deceive the embassy.

Here’s a general guide for your financial proof:

Your starting balance should be at least ₦7 million and above.
Your closing balance should be at least ₦33 million and above.
Ensure proper cash inflow and outflow. A sudden lump sum deposit with no transaction history can be suspicious.
Print a 6-month statement for submission.
Another critical aspect is having the right supporting documents. Many people submit falsified birth certificates and other fake documents. This can get your application banned. Use either a hospital birth certificate or a National Population Commission (NPC) certificate to avoid issues.

If you’re unsure about the right documents to submit, you can check globalvisaconference.com
They offer both free and paid services to help strengthen your application.

Tourist Visa Route
For those applying for a tourist visa, the first thing to do is clearly define the purpose of your visit. If you don’t have an invitation from someone in Canada, it’s advisable to register for a conference to justify your travel plans. You can find registered conferences on Eventbrite or Global Visa Conference.

Here’s a general guide for your financial proof for a tourist visa:

Your opening balance should be at least ₦1.5 million.
Your closing balance should be at least ₦15 million.
Attending a conference is a more affordable option, but keep in mind that tourist visa approvals can take around six months, whereas study visas are often processed faster.

A lot of people use Eventbrite to register for conferences as proof of travel intent. However, Eventbrite is an open platform, meaning anyone can create and list an event. Because of this, visa officers sometimes question the authenticity of Eventbrite conferences.

Some common issues with Eventbrite conferences:
❌ Many events are not recognized internationally.
❌ Some events are created just for visa purposes, making them less credible.
❌ Visa officers may require extra proof that the conference is relevant to your profession or business.

Why Global Visa Conference is a Better Option
Unlike Eventbrite, Global Visa Conference provides verified, well-structured conferences that strengthen visa applications.

✅ Recognized by visa officers – Their conferences are well-documented and registered, increasing approval chances.
✅ Visa-friendly documentation – You get a properly structured conference invitation letter that aligns with embassy expectations.
✅ Personalized guidance – If needed, they help you with additional supporting documents to prove your travel intent.

Instead of risking a visa refusal due to an unverified conference, it’s better to use a reputable platform that provides structured, embassy friendly documentation.

Applying for a Canadian visa is not just about filling out forms. It's about making sure everything aligns logically.

Choose the right study program that matches your qualifications.
Provide genuine financial proof with a steady transaction history.
Use a verified conference invitation for a tourist visa to avoid suspicion.
Taking the right approach saves you time, money, and stress. Stay tuned for more insights in the next post!

To be continued..
Are you still in Ukraine? Because you used to recruit students to Ukraine as your means of survival before the war, and now you are a Global Visa Conference advertising agent. But please tell people the truth ,that the $500 paid for the conference is non-refundable, and the canada visa refusal rate is high, as the conference route don cast.

It's largely a matter of luck. It takes 6 months to process 80% of applications. So, some would be faster and some slower than the 6 months. I did visiting visa applications for two people recently. The first person (who had never travelled before) was approved in 2 weeks, and the second (who had travelled to Saudi Arabia) in 4 months.
Our Visa agent has dropped a motivational speech to raise false hope cool

It is very difficult to get such jobs. The process involved is very long. I employed someone in 2021 under the old pilot program, the work permit was only approved in 2024. By the time she arrived with family in Canada, I no longer need the service. Good thing it is an open work permit and she got a job with someone else. The documents involved in processing the work permit is very extensive. Some of the information needed from the employer may prevent them from employing a stranger.
Please can a single person living alone employ me as a caregiver in canada.l have a friend in canada as PR HOLDER.Can he employ me as caregiver under this caregiver pr route?

My wife was nominated in the November IRCC draw for PR. I am a dependent and will be coming to Canada as a PR once our application is finalized. Our AOR is January 2025. and Getting PR in Canada is no longer difficult, as many people from Nigeria have obtained it recently —even those who initially arrived on a visitor visa. The majority of people I know who came in 2023 are now PR in processing after hearing approved .The asylum process in Canada is also quite very easy if you know your way around it. Am now just worry about the situation in Canada as per job search and the economic generally if it worth just selling off my investment and relocating permanently .
Chairman, since you are relocating permanently, just have faith that God will make a way for you. Please let me know which properties and investments you are selling before moving to Canada. I am interested, and if you're ready to sale for quick cash at a discounted price instead of waiting for a buyer who might delay payment, please contact me. God will bless your step of faith as you relocate.

All these pictures you're posting are completely useless.
Nigerians are suffering in Canada, people have been here for 1-2 years without a stable job, people are losing their home cos they couldn't keep up with the rent, people are dropping out of colleges cos they can no longer afford the new semester fee after coming here with the thought that they can work and pay it off, people are dropping shame behind and moving back to Nigeria after wasting millions of naira coming to this useless empty country and you keep posting these lame pictures without offering any tips to help them navigate the struggles. Nigerian are dying in this country and you guys don't want to say the truth openly so the new ones coming should know what's up.

Canada is a dead country, just big for nothing and empty. You better use that money to move to any country in Europe even if it's a non speaking English country instead of coming to Canada. Don't be deceived by these pictures you see online, the reality is far different from what you are seeing.

CANADA IS DEAD!!!
Bro, you cannot discourage us. We are still coming to Canada. As an average Nigerian, you will struggle both at home and abroad before you make it. So, hold on – maybe in 15 to 25 years, things will be okay, if you don't die of stress, depression, or a heart attack. Your child will benefit from your relocation decision now. Stay positive minded grin

Bros, that's business sense. You can buy items to resell or use them. One of the most affordable ways to acquire inexpensive household appliances or real estate properties is by purchasing from individuals who are desperate in need of cash and have any visa to travel outside Nigeria. They can offer you items at significantly lower prices, especially those travelling to Canada and UK with family .

Let them flee Canada, it's a free world. New folks are still immigrating to Canada and a percentage of them are prepared for whatever they meet on ground and are willing to adjust accordingly instead of complaining.
I guess you have sold your property because you plan to relocate to Canada, or maybe you have taken a loan that you promised to repay immediately after arriving in Canada. The way your energy and attitude spark toward anybody that make counter view point about Canada is suspicious grin
