thejokist:
I used the document list on the portal.
I also attached the PR card of my husband and me, our utility bill, bank statements, employment letters, payslips and letter from our OBGYN. My mum also had travel history to the US so that may have helped?

thejokist:
Hi everyone

Wanted to post the timeline for my mum’s visitors visa application

Application submitted - January 19 2022
Biometrics done and completed - January 25 2022
Passport request - February 21 2022

I am a PR and applied for my mum.

maziude:


No documents. Lol.

We just said she my dad and siblings are still in naija.

Same too, we are sponsoring 100%. The only document she gave from her own end during the application was a copy of her passport.

maziude:


1. No
2.No
3. Letter of introduction, your pay stub and statement. Also write a brief LOE, that you will be in charge of his expenses and accommodation.
4. Nope not needed. In fact you are always advised not to buy any ticket until your visa is approved. However, in his LOE, he can explain his itinerary.

The above was what we did for my mum and she got approved.

I'm I'm moving to Canada in few months time (3-5month) and I'm very confused on what to do
I'm completely broke right now, so when I get there I want to start something right away to make money to feed and do so many things. I plan to start studying after my 6months time

I'm thinking of learning photography in Nigeria, I would like to know how lucrative that is in Canada(Ontario/Toronto) if I should learn the skill.

I already have my sewing skills, and I'm thinking of starting that immediately I get there. I plan to buy Ankara, like 20pieces and when I get there start making children dresses and selling, but the problem here is I don't have any friends there and I don't know how i will start that immediately i get there
Then I'm thinking I should look for a job there, but I'm not sure I would get job immediately because they usually ask of Canadian experience which I do not possess and I plan to do that when I get there as well
Modified: I have PR already

Lansky:
How do you register for Ontario Health Card BEFORE you get accommodation?

I've been refused registration at Service Ontario cuz I don't have a document to show "proof of residency in Ontario".

Currently staying at AirBnB.

Urgent Pls!!!

I don't have a right to voice my opinion ? If you don't like my comments simply skip it. The more people voice their opinions, the better for everyone reading to get what they want out of it. Perhaps we have capitalists reading the thread who want to land full force and don't need time to reduce the shock ? Sista don't shame or belittle me for my comment. I skip a lot of comments I don't agree or care for.

maternal:


My brotha/sista, I don talk am before. People even laughed at me earlier in the thread, saying I too dey talk about Alberta a lot. The province is unbelievable. Most people who land in the GTA like you said just want to see tall buildings, go chop suya/star with their friends on the weekend, then go to a owambe. Even these IT or other jobs they talk about, by the time to pay for transport, insane housing prices, etc how much does one have left living in the Toronto area ? How much ? My good friend, his sister, along with my cousin moved out of the rat race called the Toronto area as I pressured them to do so. Within 2 years they're all doing good and purchased new homes. Something they could never do in Toronto. Because you need a million dollars or more to get something decent in the GTA.

I have many more of these stories. But a lot of Nigerians are becoming wise as the Nigerian population/community has grown a lot over the years in Alberta. People are starting to come here first. The province leads the country in highest wages and immigrants are striving there. Even though the oil sector is struggling a bit, there are so many other decent jobs one can get. Lastly, taxes are much lower there, no PST.

Hello guys, please I need info on how this credit card stuff works. Let's say you want to withdraw cash from your credit card and will be paying back in some days time. Will the interest be charged daily. Cos someone was saying TD bank charges $22.99 daily until you finish paying back. How true?

katyamizotta:
Good evening everyone. Please I need people to talk to me. While I'm excited at a fresh start in Canada and a chance for a better life for my son, my heart is heavy.
I am wondering if Nigeria will ever be sane enough to return to in my lifetime. I am wondering what will become of my children with respect to our ethics, morals, tradition and culture. How do i ensure my children remain "Nigerians"?
Those of you who have stayed in canada for years do you long for your own country?

SCAM ALERT


I was checking through Kijiji for rent today and I stumbled on a two bedroom house in Etobicoke for $800 per month. I contacted the owner and he sent the house description to me. He said he works with the United Nations and have been transferred to Vancouver from Ontario, so he is renting his house out to someone who can take care of the house. In fact, his offer was awesome. I assured him that I take care of his house if he rent it out to me.

Immediately, he requested for my personal details and few history like an authentic landlord. I was playing along. He now said he is not around that he will send the keys to the house via FedEx overnight delivery and I should proceed with payment. As someone who has stayed with Yahoo boys in a flat before and still have them as friends, I know where he was heading to.

I told him he should send the keys that I will make the payment immediately I get the keys. He objected that he will have to pay to send the keys. I told him to send the keys and I pay for postage in addition to the rent. He said it doesn't work like that. Later, he requested that I should send $200 then, I laughed and I said to myself that this guy doesn't know who he is dealing with. It is God's favour that didn't make me become Yahoo boy because I had everything in my disposal to become one some years ago.

I just ended my conversation with him by telling him that he doesn't know the tips and tricks of SCAM. He is dealing with a bloody African man.

So guys, beware of scammers who will pose as landlords. The house hunt continues

rainazoe:


Thanks Eclectic. I was actually thinking of Mansard but they won't tell me the terms and conditions aka fine print until I purchase the policy.

Trizadove:


Also, what about her work experience here in Nig? cant it be of use if she gets letters from her employers?

Trizadove:

Yes she will need IELTS and she can write in Canada. She should go to the IRCC website and use the CRS tool to check her score based on her current profile. Suggesting this option if this is not her first or second degree she is going to school for and she has enough work experience in the required NOC codes. For proof of funds.. She will present her Canadian account statement so long has she has legal status in Canada. basically look through the IRCC website. All the info required is there.

wow
thank you so much. but she is working as a student. doesnt that count?
please i would like to know the other requirements needed. does she needs the IELTS too? if yes, can she do it in Canada.
would she be needing her statement of account here in Nigeria again? she doesnt have any money there....lol
i appreciate the knowledge you have shared. please help me answer this if you can. thank you

rainazoe:
Edakun brothers and sisters. Help me answer my questions below. Ese.
When did you land? You are not eligible for OHIP till after 3 months from the first time you stepped into Ontario. You will need a proof address to complete the application process and they will only accept mail that was posted to your address e.g. Bank statement posted to you. they will not accept a stamped letter from the bank. (That was my experience). For travel insurance I believe you should be able to buy from naija, If Mansard and co don't work, try Blue Cross.
