gentleiphy i know you from canadavisa.com forum. i just got my COPR/VISA on the 2nd June despite being 2014 applicant. Thank god it ended well. which city are you now?

gentleiphy:
I know this is an old story but some reading now can still pick some few things from my contribution.Sorry for the visa denial Doctor...i appreciate the fact you took your time to write them a mail to register your dissatisfaction with the reason given for your visa denial and the auto response you got too which is the usual response to everybody that has been denied and wrote them.I want to also say that our Doctor here has the right to express his anger and also do the US visa officers has right to deny and approve visa to whoever they want to...like some one rightly said..visa approval is not a right..any country can decide on who enters and leave their country especially if you are from the third world country you are seen as a potential run away regardless of your earning or income bracket after all okonjo iweala dem and chimanda adichies are all resident in the US because the US offers more than 200% what Nigeria can never offer in any time soon..

I also want to say here that there is nothing wrong with the Doctors non travel history..i have always told people that in Nigeria .US visa officers approve or deny visa based on their mood and not about any ties or not or travel history..personal experience...my cousin who graduated from school after service no job for 2yrs decided to give a trial to US embassy for visa...he has never crossed cotonou and therefore does not even have a passport..he got his passport 4 months prior to attending his visa interview...he was single and a young boy...three things here...no job..not married...never traveled before and no intention of coming back if granted visa..what happened,,he was given 2yrs visa and that ended the story..the rest is history as he has his green card now.

Now on my own personal experience,i worked with the Maritime,i earn a high income,i have traveled to 13 European countries,4 Asian,3 south american,middle east and around Africa both for work,vacations and world cups and nation cups..3 months after returning from Germany,i had a conference to attend in New York,i paid for my conference got all application for visa sent and went for interview...female VO picked my two passports leafed through all the pages saw all valid visas and travel dates and asked me i was in Germany last 3 months i said yes,she asked for the purpose i told her for work,she said she noticed i have traveled to so many countries and for what,i told her for work,vacation with my family and for sports events...she asked further if i have family i said yes..she smiled and said..sorry you are not qualified to enter the US..i smiled thanked her and left without anger because i know she has right to deny and approve my application...it saved me flight cost and accomodation as i got refund for the conference though...as that time i went for that interview my Canada PR application was almost through as i had done my medicals...so i never gave the denial a thought..

Fast forward to me arriving Canada with my family and after 5 months i went back to the US embassy here in Canada,now i was not asked questions about anything,i was only asked my status in canada and where i wanted to visit on a tourism..i mentioned,the vo laughed and started suggesting to me other places in the US i can visit to have quality time...she even told me i was denied visa back in Nigeria some months and i said yes and she said that wont be anymore..i was given 10yrs visa.

The point is applying for US visa from a 3rd world country is just a matter of VO mood as we all are seen as potential run aways..so Doctor dont see the denial as anything whether you met with the ties they so much talk about or not..if you still want to go for your conference wait a bit and apply again...a happy visa officer may be your interviewer and you will get your visa...i have seen people who got visa just because it was the VO birthday and she was so excited and happy reminding every applicant on her window it was her birthday..

So please apply again when you are ready.

please Lagos to Toronto one way 18/09/2017?

God give me an intelligent child with excellent spirit

That is bad. where were they when others are being attacked by fulani herdsmen?

This thing dey pain me now. when i did my evaluation in 2014, i paid N35k for my Bsc at UNN and N5k for my masters at LASU. Now for CGA to convert my ACCA qualification, i will have to cough out another N35k for my transcript. It is broad day robbery.

einsteino:
lol same thing I thought. I didnt know the demon Bartho could be a saint elsewhere. This would be my third time requesting transcript, it is annoying to dole out 35k each time for a 4 page black and white print.

Lols at the embolded. Thanks man, your advice makes a lot of sense.

Ballerz:
Hi Czar,
From my research, if you are single, you might want to go for a 2 bedroom and look for someone to share with.
One bedroom goes for average of 850 - 1000/1100 in Missi while 2 bedroom goes for 1200 - 1650. If you get someone reasonable (maybe JJC too) you both can share and cost will be like 500 - 650 per person.
Upside, you have someone to fraternise and una two fit dey tag along easily downside, if the person no like to pay bills and clean kitchen, you are in trouble....

Awesome support from Blackbuddy. Thanks man

Blackbuddy:
This is a link to kijiji, the Canadian equivalent of Nigeria's OLX where you can search for and get an idea what almost anything cost including rentals. http://www.kijiji.ca/b-real-estate/mississauga-peel-region/c34l1700276

But have it at the back of your mind that most landlords/agents here will not entertain your enquiries unless you have landed. They are wary of foreigners especially Nigerians as you can understand. You can still find some people who may be willing to discuss with you but I advise that you 'see' what you are getting into first before committing your self, especially financially.

You can also check on http://viewit.ca/city/Mississauga.aspx to see what is available, Just enter your spec and review what comes up to get an idea what is going on. Any area you find, simply Google it to learn about the neighborhoods and other issues of interest.

it was at this age her Mum got married so baby girl get ready for married life. congrats dear.

Happy birthday dear. May mercy continue to sustain you.

Damilare6293:
it's my day...mercy brought me thus far.
show some love friends.

Things are really falling into place. Mississauga is the city i filled in my form as the city i want to settle. Thanks man. Please how much does one room self contained go for in mississauga? Thanks.

Blackbuddy:
Please consider renting outside Toronto and look at Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville which are nearby cities and in my opinion, better places to raise a family. The transportation system across the GTA is inter-connected so you will be able to get around very well between cities. To be candid, the majority live outside Toronto but commute daily to work. This is just like in Lagos where a good number of people live off the island but commute to VI and Ikoyi. The difference here is that the life shortening traffic challenge is not an issue as the roads are better and most public transport lines are reliable.

is it the ink he will use in filling the form that is the problem or is hand paining you?sorry to sound sarcastic but not when your dream is about to materialise you wan use your hand spoil it. i just filled the same thing i had in my previous form to avoid stories that touch. my visa was out last week

chinchum:
I disagree.

A typical message appears like this.
if there are any changes, you would need to send a msg to cpc ottawa.

@pauloverdi, ensure you fill and submit the imm008 form, fill a likely province you intend to relocate. it is not cast in stone

You too you lied. You said he was once honest but later said his lieing is from birth. which one do we believe?

Please are residential houses in Toronto or do i look for accommodation in the outskirts of Toronto.

Blackbuddy:
Hi, see my reply above. Hope it assists you.

kingthreatz:
The main hackers are in Eastern europe

Thanks.

SlowlybtSurely:
Wow! Big congrats!!

pauloverdi:
hello friends... please I'm anxiously waiting for your advice... I have less than 11 days to submit my passports. I take God beg una.. I just don't want to take a decision I'll regret...

I am a Dec 2014 FSW applicant. They abandoned our files until recently.

SlowlybtSurely:
Congrats. How long from when Accra received your document to when it got approved and pick up mail?

Afo.......nja brown roof republic

Okay. keep up the good work.

Blackbuddy:
We thank God

Thanks sounding like pipis husband in another forum. Infact i have started looking around for toronto jobs but wanted to sound peoples opinion.

Blackbuddy:
Hi, see my reply above. Hope it assists you.

Thanks for your time. i appreciate

Fusion23:
People cant advise you much as you doing your own personal research, that the blunt truth, use LinkedIn, job website to scout jobs before you come ..but one advise is that experience is regarded more than certification and sometimes Canadian experience, a problem most Nigerians face is being over qualified for a job which is entry level and not qualified for a senior level position.

But if you can package your cv well , and can do well in the interview for an IT security job you might be lucky.
Will advise starting with the ACCA too for a start.

I need some input here. I am a chartered accountant ACCA working in a bank here in Nigeria and about to relocate to Canada. I also studied Computer science first degree and has done nothing with the degree except to gather some certifications, In the course of doing one of the certifications, i realised my area of interest is IT security ad it is also a lucrative emerging area in IT.

Now I want to fully understand and practice IT security without recourse to my ACCA certification but people are advising me otherwise. That i should move from known to unknown. That i should first use my ACCA to get their CPA/CGA and get job while working towards my IT security career.

Please i need advise from people in these field and which city can i find both opportunities.

Thank you

Jostico:
I won't call them fools. I blame money for not locating it's rightful owners

Nigerian youths and their lopsidedness. when it suits us we remember we are trading with our future, when it does not we defend the wrong doers. We are all in it.

Moreoffaith:
Whenever I remember this quote...

"Show me the heroes that the youth of your country look up to, and I will tell you where the future of your country lies"....
[/b][b]
I see this country is going nowhere cos the mind of the youth has been polluted, I see Nigeria as a market where the rich buy the future of unborn child with cowry, I see it as a market where youth exchange their future for plate of rice,



Continue to support and pamper the wolf eating up the future of your unborn children so as to enrich their tenth generation coming, your great grandchildren will surely rain curse on you in grave for supporting this fools who manipulate you with money.

Please release Dasuki.

instead of AA it is ernst and young. They are the big 4. i wished i started my career with them

CeenoEvu:
True. I know folks whose current salary are way more than what I see here but they still dream of having a KPMG, AA, ACCENTURE, PWC experience on their CV.
