I can't tell you what to do oo bro .. Who knows maybe love dey shack you at the moment but my 2 cents, be cautious , nothing nor no one is more important than yourself .. Remember you come first . If you aren't here today, she will live her life .. I guess what I'm trying to say in summary is to make sure you settle first before you do anything for/with her ..

Pressuring you in the first place is a gigantic RED FLAG... RUN if you can . Western world no be 9ja wey Man is in control ooo , think twice before you do anything. If you rush into anything , na d same speed you go take rush out and nothing is promised in life . Have a solid plan.

Kuniennam:
Please experienced elders come and offer your 2cent for this situation.

I recently landed in Canada as a PR and still hoping for a job.

Before I landed, I engaged my girlfriend and we did introduction. Marriage was postponed till later to ensure that my marital status didn't change since I already had Copr and visa and didn't think having my application reopened before landing was the best option at that stage.

In the last one week, she has been on my neck to start processing our reunion. I explained to her that while we want this reunion now, we can't do anything till situation normalizes. She is suggesting that she applies for a tourist visa. I told her that while tourist visa is good it may not be the best option for our current situation. Here is the situation, we don't have the accumulated finances or income flow or assets to support a tourist visa application at the moment.

I suggested, that she calms down till income starts coming, so that we can arrange my trip to Nigeria for our marriage. Afterwards we can leverage one policy that IRCC rolled in around May 2023 and submit a PR application then with the AOR apply for spousal visit Visa and SOWP all at once. She considers my suggestion deceptive that I don't want her to join me, hence I am not approving of her tourist visa plan.

From her stance and what she heard from one of her colleagues she thinks the financial situation which affects the potential POF she may need to apply for her tourist visa can be arranged by agents. All my efforts to make her understand that she doesn't have a solid case with the tourist visa plan and that I don't trust Nigeria agents and can't allow her jeopardize our future reunion with unreliable documents showing numbers.

According to what she heard from a colleague too she suggested to go ahead and acquire our certificate but I told her that it will be marriage by proxy. Especially if I don't leave Canada at the time, it will be issued and Canada doesn't recognise proxy marriages. Hence, if we apply anything with that certificate it may backfire.

The constant pressure to do something about our reunion is not helping issues at all. Please if you have any suggestion that may help us, we are willing to listen.

Guys ! WTH is going on here for about 24 hours with people arguing about japa means with VV ? Do what works for you, I won't advise anyone against anything .. What works for A might not work B ... 3 of my guys used all those mentioned route to stay in Canada last year .. 1 with romance, 2 others with LMIA... But like I said, what works for A might not work B...

Assylum shouldn't be your first priority though ...

No ! I don't believe she is confused , even far from it .. I think she want to have one leg in and one leg out . After all the warnings, she came back asking a new question about a fake Visa which means she is seriously considering going ahead with it .. That bad agent has filled her head with lies but she should have known better when she came here with the first question.

When no be Juju ! A lot of people have advised her against it but she came back asking more questions.


oluayebenz:


Please this your comment is too harsh and not acceptable here.
Don't scared people off not to share what they are passing through in the hand of agent.

Please mind the way you talk to people.

Is it okay if I transfer a lump sum to my brother's account who plans to apply for a visit Visa and back it up with a gift deed ? And oh, he doesn't really run his account . He is considering using an agent because of the SOA thingy but I told him to chill out and ask the gurus here .

Compared to weekends, try Monday/Tuesday and let your return be the same .. Play around the dates until you get a favorable price.

I was scared when I first saw it on my application too but then I found out it's like that and one should ignore it . I checked the questionnaires several times to see if I chose a wrong answer somewhere but I didn't ... And oh BTW, it's not a mandatory document.

Ignore that part where you were asked for employment letter from a Canada employer .


jeffdaniel:
Good day everyone, we have started filling the Canada application forms online, using the new site, but when we got to the documents to submit section, the documents they're asking us to upload does not align with what we are applying for (Visitors visa). for example under employment, documents ask was for someone looking to work in Canada.
We got confused and thought may be we should use the old site, sine that one is straight forward.

Please, any idea why it's like that, and is it better to use the old or new site, any different? Thank you all for your responses 🙏

All I can say is that you must really be strong for you to have decided to go back despite having a lot of opportunities TO *LEGALIZED* YOUR STAY, which I must commend it's a big risk🙌. As tough as I believe as I am, there are somethings I can't risk grin....except by DIVINE INSTRUCTION with serious conviction😁

Sometimes, I do tell my old parents their generation put us in this mess because they refused to do the needful.....protest or riot for the sake of their children to enable them have a better tomorrow. Instead they all PROCREATED grin and kept saying Nigeria would be better till we got to this point, thereby letting us witness a failed government where we will have to struggle. God will have to come to your aid if you weren't born with a silver spoon😁. Meanwhile, these are the two LEGAL ways of surviving in Nigeria....either you were born with a silver spoon or you have a divine(God) backup cheesy

I find it crazy that my old parents don't have any benefits from the government of Nigeria after tax deduction from their active years as workers. I mean not even one single benefit. No monthly allowance, no free medical or what would cost the government to give them a free transportation even if it is limited for a certain time every month. No subsidy for them as senior citizens. How about infants and little children? What benefits are they getting from the government?
Mehn...my experience abroad had made me given up on Nigeria. Reason why all I could say in my previous comment was "AMEN" because discussing Nigeria issues break my heart like someone that was jilted...😒🤧



You've said it all with your old parents as an example .. It's crazy and let's all be realistic , the earlier we realize that as a Nigerian, we are on our own , the better .. No savior will come to our rescue ... Nigeria will be better, Nigeria will be better is all We've been hearing for decades ...

No, he's good to go since it's just 1 lay over in the Schengen region .. He'd need a Schengen visa if there are 2 stop overs in Europe.

Bigkenny:
I saw this nonrefundable plane ticket online (Klm website), and I am planning to book it for my brother.

Departure on Air France: LOS (Lagos) - CDG {Paris) - YYZ (Toronto)

Return on KLM: YYZ (Toronto) - AMS (Amsterdam) - LOS (Lagos)

$1440

The ticket is
- Nonrefundable
- One checked bag and one carryon

To depart June 2 and return June 16

Do you think he will need a Schengen visa?

Please tell me what he needs before I book this ticket.

I don't want to lose this money.

Hi guys ! I'm doing my application on the new portal and under the list of documents requested is Employer letter (current)

A copy of a letter from the employer in Canada. This letter must state that the company will hire you to work in Canada for a specific period of time.

The letter must be printed on the company's official letterhead and include your name, the details of your employment in Canada, and the company's contact information.

I never mentioned that I'm working .... I'm submitting as a current student ..

Hello amazing people . I need your opinion on something . I applied for a study permit in 2018 and on the application , I chose married instead of common-law partner , we were never legally married but we had a church certificate , so I uploaded that and I chose married in 2018 . Now , we are no longer together and I'm applying for a visit visa ... Should I write a letter explaining the situation or I should ignore it ? How can I tackle this messy situation ? All ideas and opinions are most welcome..

You have made no mistake. The new portal asks questions in the form of a questionnaire, eliminating the need to download and upload forms. All you have to do is to supply the information.

If this is your first application, then you have no UCI number, yet. You will get your UCI number only after your first application payment. Your UCI number will come with your biometric instruction letter

Shalom!!!



Thank you so much ..

This new portal didn't request that I upload the Temporary resident visa application form ( IMM5257 )

Bracha thank you so much for your selfless service. Thank you. Fine girl with the good heart.

To every hopefuls don’t give up on your dreams.

To all May June and July applicant slide in my pm, I have a secret for you guys.

I actually went to anifowoshe on Wednesday. The person I met just like me at first sight and he told me the secret then he prayed for me and wish me good luck. I may go back there and tell him thank you.

This visa suffered me.
The day I did my biometrics, VAC was still working till 8 pm that day, I left home around 7 and left VAC 7 pm. I was sleeping on steering... I almost had an accident that very day but God came through for me. So whenever I remember that day and imagine why my visa is still pending, tears will drop from my eyes and I will look up to God.

I contacted more than 150 MPs (senators) in Canada then on Wednesday I gathered mind and drive straight to Anifowoshe.

I was in the movies watching “Hotel Mumbai” as soon as they finished the movie, I saw the alert in my email address.

I will recommend you guys to watch that movie and thank me later.

God is indeed faithful
Nara ekele chineke.
May June July, don’t lose hope, your visa is sooner. Don’t forget to hit my pm.
“God answers prayers”

God bless everyone that is reading this my success story. Whatever you ask from God, don’t give up, he knows your worries. He will answer your prayer.

“When God wants you to grow, he makes you uncomfortable”

Please don’t mind my typo error. I am so eegxited.
