Morning my family, I'm aiming traveling to canada for my annual leave by June, I need a guide av a friend and business partner who reside in canada with with Permanent Resident permit and he has promise the letter of invitation. I want the experience pple in the house to guide me before I fill the form. Meanwhile I was intending traveling to Dubai for the break before deciding for Canada as I know it will expose me better my leave is to be 30 days and I'm not intending to stay longer.Thanks

The most important thing is to prove to the Visa Officer beyond doubt that you will return. Believe me, they are smart and know all the tricks people use. Have your friend send you a detailed invitation letter, he/she can also improve your chances of getting a visa if he/she includes their statement of account balance and guarantee that you will return to Nigeria after your visit. Also, have your company write a letter to the VO with details about your job position, and accrued annual leave and when you are expected back.

If we all start respecting other people's rules getting visa into that country will not be difficult. I will always return after my visit and I NEVER work while in Canada, NEVER, because the law says "I cannot work without a permit". It's not like I am rich or something...No, I just violate rules even when in Nigeria, I don't violate them.
If you have all these details, your chances of getting the visa will be higher. VO is more interested to know that you will leave their country after your visa than the amount of money you have. They want you to bring money and spend in their country but leave after you are done...

I know how frustrating it can be when you try to get information from the Student Visa session, all you see is "Medical hopefuls" and lots. I tried to find information too when I wanted to apply for my Visitor Visa. Anyway, recently I received a Multiple Entry Visa Canada So, the basic requirement are all in the website: Application form, Family information and all that. Now, other document to submit depends on your purpose of visit. You need to prove to the VO that you will return after your visit. When I returned to the country after my first visit most of my friends thought I was stupid to have returned and I even met few people over there who told me what to do to remain in Canada. I'm glad I was smarter and returned even before my visa expired. Believe me, I will never advice anyone to overstay. Plan to return at least for sake of next application. That is why they really want to make sure you have strong reason to return.

Items that will prove that you will return are: Strong tie to Nigeria, regular employment, fat account balance, assets, and previous travel history.
I hope this will be helpful to you.
I wish you success.

I bought 10GB Etisalat every month. I work and study online. I just purchased the first one today. Why can't we have cheaper internet in Nigeria?
Does anybody know a cheaper alternative?

Let all be honest for once. This lady is a very beautiful and attractive woman. Seriously speaking. She is so beautiful, even without make-up.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get one? like the duration of the process?

Following:
its just for the fun o! just another means of saying am not interested or ignorant

Oh! Thanks for the clarification. It's so funny though! lol!

I've noticed recently that people here on Nairaland claim to be from France. Is it a new Theme or what? What is really going on? I don't want to be left in the dark. Somebody please tell me.

**Job prospect for male nurses is very high and will continue to increase as most employers (occupational, Emergency, Operating Theater) often prefer male nurses! Male nurses are also the agent of change that we need in the nursing profession. Yes, Male nurses are kinder than any "regular" male out there. They make great nurses.

**I know that most female patients often want male nurses to attend to them while male patients like female nurses.

***Male nurses often find it challenging dating or marrying from other profession (doctors, bankers, lawyers) because of stereotype that they are "sissy" so most of them marry their fellow female nurses and I must tell you, they make great couples!!!

** Many patients often refer to male nurses as "doctors" because it's had to tell the difference as nursing scrubs are becoming so popular and most healthcare workers wear scrubs.

** Most male nurses are also very very intelligent as majority of them often go further to become medical doctors especially after getting humiliated by House officers.

** I know a couple of male nurses, they are very cool, kind, and loving.
So, you are very fortunate to have the opportunity to studying nursing as a male. You will make a lot of difference. MALE NURSES ARE HELPING TO PROMOTE BETTER REPUTATION OF NURSING

This woman has done nothing wrong for sticking to her faith and belief, unfortunately, this is something most of us cannot do. Have you ever heard of "DNR" Do not Resuscitate Order? It is your right to refuse any form of treatment. I am very proud of her!

Secondly, this woman died of complications from a Cesarean Section, the hospital ought to be sued for that. The hospital should have prepared for auto-transfusion knowing her religious beliefs (having her donate her own blood few months t weeks before the surgery). Beside, from the story there is no evidence that she died from anemia. She died from Sepsis which can lead to DIC and finally ARDS.

In well developed countries, spiritual beliefs of patients are taken into account and respected. I am not a Jehovah Witness, but I hate blood transfusion especially from paid donors and will refuse it. I plan to have my kids through c/s, I will bank my blood before the elective.

You all should stop condemning her because she has done nothing wrong. I have seen many people die even during and after receiving transfusion.

Thank you Keneking

I find lots of URGENT job offers and opportunities here http://nigeria.ipsojobs.com/

Is he dead?

I came across this job vacancy and thought I should share it here.
Here's the link where I found it

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/25/world/terrible-countries-for-christians/index.html

The case of a Christian woman in Sudan who was sentenced to die for refusing to renounce her faith has cast new light on the plight of persecuted Christians worldwide.
Sudan ranks as one of the worst countries for people who practice Christianity, but it by no means is alone.
Like people of other faiths, Christians can face discrimination, harassment, arrest, jail time and even death for what they believe.
Here's a look at seven terrible countries for Christians:

North Korea
For the 12th year in a row, North Korea tops the list of places where Christian persecution is most extreme, according to Open Doors, a group that ranks countries in order of persecution.
The organization estimates as many as 70,000 Christians are imprisoned in labor camps.
"The God-like worship of the leader, Kim Jong-Un, and his predecessors leaves no room for any other religion, and Christians face unimaginable pressure in every sphere of life," the group says on its website.
"Forced to meet only in secret, they dare not share their faith even with their families, for fear of imprisonment in a labor camp. Anyone discovered engaging in secret religious activity may be subject to arrest, disappearance, torture, even public execution."
Among those imprisoned is Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American.
Pyongyang sentenced him last year to 15 years of hard labor, accusing him of planning to bring down the government through religious activities.
He is widely reported to have been conducting Christian missionary work in North Korea.

Sudan
Since 1999, the U.S. State Department has tracked the world's worst abusers of religious rights. Sudan has been on the list since its inception.
The country has arrested and deported Western Christians suspected of spreading their faith, according to a State Department report.
Recently, Sudan also arrested and sentenced a woman to die for refusing to renounce her Christian faith. The 27-year old woman was released after weeks of international controversy over her conviction.
She was later detained with her husband and two children, accused of traveling with falsified documents and giving false information.

Eritrea
Just four religious groups are officially allowed to openly practice their faith in this African nation; the rest are subject to detention or worse.
So if you're not an Eritrean Orthodox Christian, a Sunni Muslim, a Roman Catholic or an Evangelical Lutheran, life could be tough for you here. Harsh detentions for religious dissenters are the norm, according to the State Department report.
Members of various religious groups, including Jehovah's Witnesses, face retaliation for refusing to participate in military portions of mandatory national service, the report reads. The government is said to penalize Jehovah's Witnesses by denying them government services and entitlements.
As of November, 52 Jehovah's Witnesses were imprisoned in Eritrea, according to the Jehovah's Witnesses website. It says none has been formally charged or tried.

Saudi Arabia
The oil-rich monarchy doesn't even pretend to respect religious rights for any faith other than Islam.
Sunni Islam is the official religion, and the country's constitution is based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed.
The public practice of any other religion is prohibited, according to the State Department.
Open Doors says most Christians in Saudi Arabia are expatriates from Asia or Africa. Last year, Christian migrant fellowships were raided, and worshipers were detained and deported, the group says.

Nigeria

Nigeria is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south.
Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist group, vowed in 2009 to rid the nation's north of all non-Muslim influence, including Christians, according to The Voice of the Martyrs, another group that tracks the persecution of Christians.
More than 3,000 people have been killed since then, the organization reports.
Boko Haram translates as "Western education is a sin" in the Hausa language. The militant group says its aim is to impose a stricter enforcement of Sharia law across Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation. Boko Haram's attacks have intensified in recent years and have included the kidnapping of more than 200 schoolgirls.

Somalia
Pressure is increasing on Christians in this country, according to Open Doors.
"Islamic leaders and government officials publicly reinforce that there is no room for Christians, and there is a strong drive to purge Christianity from Somalia. The militant Islamist group, al-Shabaab, targets Christians and local communities," the group says on its site.
The terror group is notorious for prohibiting recreational activities and has banned films, dancing and watching soccer in the past. It had also barred foreign aid organizations from southern Somalia, describing them as Western spies and Christian crusaders.

Iraq
Religious minorities, such as Christians and Yazidis, make up less than 5% of Iraq's population.
Since 2003, attacks against these minorities by insurgents and religious extremists have driven more than half of the minorities out of the country, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
According to Open Doors, attacks and threats against Christians rose last year as Islamic terrorist groups gained more influence.
Militants from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, are in the midst of an offensive in Iraq.
In the northern city of Mosul, the site of one of the first major ISIS victories, witnesses told CNN the group used vehicle-mounted loudspeakers to announce that it had decided to form Islamic Sharia courts in the city.
The group also reportedly removed statues of the Christian Virgin Mary, Arab poet Abu Tammam and singer Mulla Othman, witnesses said.

Me happened few days ago. Flying on a plane first time, I've always avoided flying in Nigeria whenever I had the opportunity opportunityas as i was scared of crash! I'll rather take the night bus.
Traveling first time for 20 ho urs in the air! I ironed all my clothes before packing (didn't know what I was thinking).
Had a tough time finding my connecting flight at Heathrow airport. I almost cried!
Next day after I got to my destination, I had to walk for over 15 minutes to find a shop to buy adapter as my phone and laptop charger can't fit into intothe socket. I got to an intersection where I needed to cross to the other side of the road. There's the "hand" sign that I was waiting for it to turn green before I can cross but it never did. I stood there waiting for long time, all the cars stopped and moved on yet it refused to show green. I felt everyone was watching me from their cars. After waiting for long I just moved far away from the traffic light and crossed! I thought I was going to be arrested so I walked faster!.
Inside the shop, after purchAsing the adapter, the white guy who sold it to me began asking me questions and he finished by asking...."would you like to have a drink with me tonight"? See me see wahala? I didn't know how to answer that... so I told him that's inappropriate!inappropriate! Her said that's weird! Is it normal to have a drink with someone you don't know?

The hotel I'm staying at offers free breakfast, I walked into the room the first day and nobody was inside, different stuffs they called "food" were lined up, I'm not familiar with any of the food so I picked something that look like buns. The same thing applies to the restaurant. I've lost lots of weight within theses few days of arrival because I'm not eating well and I hate the food!

More to come.....

dasparrow:

Congrats and good luck in your exam.

Thank you. I'll keep you updated.

kasman2007: Please I need to ask if canada visa embassy in Lagos call Applicant for Interview?

I was never called for interview and I don't know if they do. I just applied, after 1 month I went to pick it up.

Are you still stranded at this location? I think you should take a taxi to the location. Sorry for the late reply, I just saw your post. I hope u get there safely.

I've lost my old National ID card. How can I get a new one?
What are the processes? I hope I don't need a place report, I don't ever want to set foot in a police station.

I'm glad I got a response after 48 hours! Thanks for your response Suxes.

It's a known fact that it's illegal to work in any country without a work permit.
I'll be traveling to a country in less than a month with TRV for 3 months duration, I do not intend to work and I have enough money to cover my expenses while there (the VISA officer made sure of this). Now, my concern is this: I work online as a hobby. I do jobs for clients from all over the world, jobs ranging from translation, web research, product sourcing, audio/video transcription, etc (many of you might do this also) and I get paid in dollars into my bank account via wire transfer. Will I be committing an offence if I continue to render my services abroad during the period of my stay? I personally don't think it matters but I'm worried that I'll be using their bandwidth and they might find out that I'm working online. I have about 2 ongoing long-term contracts that may continue for the next 6 months. Should I terminate them and decline further offers? Vicjustice, Justwise, and other knowledgeable people, I need your candid advice.
I hate breaking the law. If it's illegal I might just outsource them or discuss with my clients. Thank you.

What will you recommend for extremely curvy + Athletic body? People say I look better in jeans.
