Jumms442:
woow nice, did the officer state when you’ll leave , or it was just stamped cos I heard they can jus put 2/3 months or something

Julieni:
Cash or card?

Were you asked about return ticket?

Where you asked about your stay duration?

Which port of entry?

Biko share us info.. Thank you

Emmafe:
It depends on your flight o. Minimum I’ve seen is 19hrs, my own flight is 22hrs

Chux911:
Please guys I need help,
how much is the minimum Person Travel Allowance (PTA) I should carry along with me to Canada

If you've travelled recently, how much did you carry along with you

Gentlesoul3268:
Duration of stay have to tally with your return tickets, if you wish to stay longer you can change your return date on your ticket when you enter that's my 1 cent advise to avoid any quarries.

If you are watching boarder patrol you will understand

Gentlesoul3268:
Even common south Africa denied traveler's entry if you dont have a valid paid hotel not to talk of Canada, if you are a genuine traveler you need to pay for the duration of your stay unless you stated in your application that you have a family to accommodate you.

Please don't risk that

Emmafe:
Most people prefer to pay when they reach the hotel, you can make reservations.

Shamaaa:
BVL dropped since 4th of April... Still waiting too.

Emmafe:
Nop, don’t make any reservations during your application. Focus on home tie, pof and outline your trip itineraries.

josephb:
If you are applying as a Tourist, either of the two is okay.

You need a reservation of Hotel if you are applying as a Tourist.
You don’t necessarily have to pay for it.

Most importantly; focus on your home ties.

Regards,

Thanks for the information I have a valid visa already, just wondering which will be better because of immigration.

For those that have collected their visitors visa from VFS....... please I beg you

1. Book a return ticket

2. Travel light (one or two luggages) for two weeks or a month

3. Make a hotel/Airbnb reservations

4. Don't carry winter outfits (because summer
is approaching)

5. Carry at least a thousand dollars with you in
Cash

6. Don't carry certificate or resumé with you

7. If you have anything that will implicate you
on your phone delete it or a chat with a
Canadian boyfriend or girlfriend delete it

8. If that thing is so important and you don't want to loose, I suggest you save it on the cloud and delete it from your device or better still format your device

9. The CBSA officer have every right to go through your device and can still send you back home (yea....they have that right). That's why i strongly advice against flagpolling when converting your visitors visa to study or work permit at the border.

WHY
Because you didn't state truthfully at the airport when you arrived that you'll be looking for job or study and remain in Canada

So you'll have to prove THIS if you flagpole

SUGGESTION
Apply online instead from inside Canada using the new public policy (140 days processing time).

But if your blood dey hot and you can't wait for the processing time of 140 days, then go ahead and flagpole......it's your funeral.

Safe journey (ije oma) to the ones leaving this week or the next or whenever. I wish you all the best may the land of Canada favour you👋🙏

Karmora:
🙏 thanks

That's incorrect still checked the portal today, she can schedule an appointment for Tuesday.

afrischolars1:
Please we would appreciate any information on passport drop off for visa stamping. We sent one of our mentee to drop off her passport at the VFS office in Abuja, she was told at VFS office to schedule appointment online. The earliest date she got was June 1. She is supposed to drop off the passport within 30 days (June 1 is outside the 30days). Can she use courier to send the passport? If so, which courier service. Any information will be appreciated.

Juxen:
Good afternoon,

Please can someone assist with the process for passport submission.

Also is walk in allowed?

Thank you

Hi guys, so I just received my BVL yesterday and I tracked my application using the new stutus tracker but it's just showing " IN PROGRESS"

No visa number
No visa expiry date
Destination: unspecified

Nothing

Europ2018:
Have you received any update from this 2019 application aside BVL?

drhammed:
Do you mean old portal or new? I know someone that recently got approved and the visa expiration date and document number isn't showing on the new portal (like it used to show on the old portal). So, I just want to be sure

alexie49:
I have not reapplied on the new portal oo. I used the old portal in 2020, but I just got BVL this April 2023.

Please do I need to do anything on the new portal?

Or I should just stick with my application on the old portal as though they are treating it too??

Little confused 😖
