Sir, it was you who posted this message last year when you arrive Canada , and yesterday you advise on the risks and difficulties in obtaining an LMIA. You mentioned that you are now a resident in a rural area of Canada. Someone asked you how you converted your conference visa to a resident or work permit, and then you started to delete all your previous messages online as if the IRCC or police were tracing you. However, we have read and heard that it is not illegal to convert a visitor visa to a work permit inside Canada , or are you claiming asylum too and somebody also said claiming asylum is not a crime but deportation of fail asylum seeker is real. So why are you Running?

grin grin grin

The guy claimed to return to Nigeria to the Canadian custom/immigration officer and he is not like other Nigerians who defaulted, yet he is doing the same.
Which brings the question, how do you separate the shaff from the seed in this Nigeria? So that people like him won't make the western world lump people like together.

At PEARSON AIRPORT Toronto POE

1 wicked lady and two other gentle men...

I noticed the lady was taken time questioning people and the other men's line was moving fast.. I was hoping I don't get to her cubicle but yoo, I was asked to go there..

Questions she asked..

1. Why are you in Canada

2. Paper that backed up your church program

3. Do you have a returning ticket

4. How many bags did you come with and what are the contents...

5.You mean I should grant you access into Canada with this your invitation letter.

6.. Your program is on the 25th and why do you want to stay for more 3weeks before going back to your county..

7.. where would you be staying in Canada..
As she was questioning she was asking to see the proofs that backed my claim...

She didn't stamp the pepper the machine generated after scanning my passport in ARRIVE-CAN machine but my brother's pepper was stamped because one of the gentlemen in the cubicle interviewed him and didn't ask him much question and didn't request to see any peper from him..

She sent me to other POE agents where many other people mostly blacks were sent too...
Meanwhile my brother was freed and has gone for our bags..

When it get to my turn, the officer asked why are you in the country and requested for my passport.... Immediately he saw my green passport, he shouted, Nigerians ..... They always claim to come for a conference and program and never went back to their home country and he knows i wouldn't go back too.... I acted surprised to hear they don't go back and said I have a job in my home country and won't abandoned my job... He said that's what they always say, that do i know the number of Nigerians he sees weekly that says the same thing, that I should come out plain and say the truth so that the government would help me... I told him that the truth is that after the program am going back to my home country to continue with my job... He said he is certain, I'm not going back to my country.....I told him a Catholic church invited me and the church can't be involved in anything illegal...He said people don't have shame anymore, they will claim they are here for a conference and wouldn't return back to their country and he is very sure I'm not going back and commanded I keep quiet immediately and said if I go back, he would become the president of Canada ..just that there is a policy that if a system has approved a VISA they cannot decline, he stamps it and and asked me to just go go go.. like saying carry your wahala and go🤣....

At murtala muhammed airport... We refused to pay at first and we were sent to their Boss and there the wahala started... He said we won't join the flight he requested for every pepper we have and even the peper of our invitee..We provided all and yet he didn't let us go...He insisted he knew we weren't going for any program and says he is uploading all our documents to their Canada site for verification ,that we should wait for their response..... Almost 1hour and it was almost getting late to board, we ended up paying 100k each for my brother and I and 50 us dollars for excess load.... 250k in total..

Chaii
After reading this message, I don't even know if to be laughing or crying.
People have so much bastardized the visit/tourist visa to the extent the whites don't trust us again.
Now, they will lump people like us who wish to go for harmless tour is US/Canada with those who bastardized the passport.
Honestly, I really wish I can another country's passport asap

Now this is worrisome.
We now have some set of countries that are untouchables to ICJ.
In other words, the ICJ is biased and created to witch-hunt certain countries like Africa and others.
Can we call such an organization fair and just?
How can you judge others but become weak to same to another? Won't such system crumble with time?
The US says if ICJ can issue arrest warrant on isreal, that means the same can be done to US and I ask and so foocking what?
Is that not the work of the ICJ in the first place?
And this confirms my sentiment all along that all the craftily created organizations like the UN, ICJ, WHO, IMF, world bank etc are created solely to benefit the west.
Immediately these organisations start straying away from their motives, they threaten them.
These organisations are created to subdue others.

For peace to reign, they just have to kill up to the last Palestine, then they can safely take the land and enjoy it.
Atleast, it will be in the record that the Palestines are not cowards who will fold their arms while they oppress and take their land.
It will be in history that there was a race that fought to the last person and died hero than cowards.
But then, life is in circle.
Sooner or later, the US empire will go down and with it her allies which signal the rise of other world power and with a western world that is battling with her own life just to float and doesn't have enough money to use not to talk about helping or financing the baby isreal who has an economy that can't finance her budget and an Islamic world that will start rising, there will be a push back from the Islamic world and reclaiming of this lost lands.
How soon will that be? Time will tell

Hey 🤠

.A2A.

1. After filling your DS-160, login to your caec (cgi portal) site and click on update profile . It will bring out your data page and look out where your old DS-160 is written and clears it off (write your new DS-160 number in the space) then stroll down towards the right hand and click save .

2. After 2/3 days , log back to your caec sight and click on Appointment (it will take you to email or download appointment) and print it out . ** The new printed appointment will automatically reflects your new DS-160 confirmation number . Thereby , your visa appointment letter is now match with your DS-160 as required by the embassy .

3. For the visa (MRV) payment receipt, you did not pay it with your DS-160 but you paid it physically or online with your Travel Passport information. Therefore, leave the MRV alone and take it along with the 2 documents (ds 160 and visa appointment) above.

4. If however, you have paid the visa fee (MRV) with your old travel passport number , all you have to do is to take both (new & old) passports to the embassy on the day of your interview . Even, if you did not see the old passport , your new passport still carries the old passport number as a bona-fide successor of your old passport , therefore , it will still be accepted to continue your visa application journey.



Best Wishes 🙏

Thanks brother.

Have done it.
So when I meet the VO for interview, it is the number on the ds-160 I tender that would be entered in the system to interview me, right?

Hello bro,

Good morning.
Pls after filling a new ds-160 form, how will I update it on my caec site?
Also, the visa payment I made was done with the first ds-160 form serial number, how will I update the new ds form to reflect the number on my visa payment platform

Hello Sir,

I am curious: how much is a bag of sunflower seeds at the moment? How many bags make a ton? How are the bags of sunflower seeds weighed?

Thank you.

Tbh, I don't know the present price of sunflower seeds but should be around 50k per 100kg bag because the price moves closely with the price of soya beans. They are all oilseeds.
10 of 100kg bags make a ton which is 1000kg.
They are mostly weighed in 100kg per bag.
Do you want to plant sunflower?
Because we have low demand for it in Nigeria.
Most companies producing vegetable oil uses soya beans, palm oil, sesame seeds and groundnut seeds most.
And the byproduct also doesn't move well with Nigerian feedmillers unlike soya beans meal, groundnut cake. They mostly shy away from sunflower cake.

Lol this used to be true those days but men it doesn't fly anymore. There are Nigerians who didn't even go to school who are working in big companies. I know people in tech who didn't have any degree and are working at places like Google and Facebook and these are Nigerians o. The world now is mostly about the skills and value you have to offer and not necessarily the school you went. Yes, going to a top school helps but how many Nigerians migrating are going to top schools.

Strong passport is good but strong passport without money is useless lol. My target for a strong passport is strictly based on economic activities and not necessarily travelling. There are people with these passports who can't travel cause they are broke. Sapa is a worldwide phenomenon.

Economy is developed yes but no one is going to hand over anything to you. Believe me, you have to show and prove competence. There are people abroad in good countries who can't still get jobs but these time around you can't blame anyone like tunubu or phcn grin grin

Exactly. It's stupid. Honestly it's just that Africa has no prospects and Nigeria itself is very very hopeless especially with this stupid APC government but I will say migration is really overrated men. I can't imagine selling my house and stuff and suffering like how others are suffering for this grin grin grin

Tbh, I am in-between.
I can't totally criticize those leaving nor call those staying back stupid.
Moving has it's merits and demerits just like staying back.
It is just for someone to weigh his options and know the pros and cons of their actions and ready to face it but generally, the advantage of going to western countries is -
1. Foreign certificate gives you better job with higher earnings.
2. Strong passport that won't make you to be wasting money on visas or delays or visa denial.
3. Their economy is so developed that you can virtually work in any sector and live a good life and can easily get a good job without connections or letters from kings/senator/governor/local government chairman just to get a decent job.

Those 2 points above are good points of moving.
In my career, using a Nigerian certificate has really cost me a lot and slowed down my progress and I know and see my colleagues with foreign certificates getting promoted faster than me and even earning better pay at the same level.

where will you see 3million + job in nigeria. give me link ill apply lol.

You still don't get it.
It is relative.
I can keep dividing it till it gets smaller then maybe you will get the big picture.
While it is true that only a fraction of Nigerians can get a 3m per month job, then let's go further down.
A man earning $1000 in Nigeria is better than $3000 in Toronto.
Still very hard to get a $1000 job in Nigeria.
A man earning $500 in Nigeria is better than a man earning $1500 in Toronto.
Now, $500 job is not uncommon in Nigeria in some sectors.
Let's go further down.
A man earning $250 in Nigeria roughly 400k will live a better life than a man earning $750 in Toronto.
Infact from $1,500 downward in Toronto, you live will start becoming miserable but you can't say the equivalent in Nigeria.

I understand that the process of filling out the DS 160 form can be confusing and overwhelming. It's important to note that you don't need to provide flight booking details. Simply mention a tentative date of arrival. Additionally, you can book a hotel reservation that doesn't require payment and fill in the details accordingly. I hope this information helps make the process a little easier for you.

Thanks very much brother.
I tried not putting the flight details in the DS-160 form but the form won't save and go to the next page.

Even within the same country, it doesn't make sense comparing earnings to location of living.

Lots of women are genuinely shocked when they see that a man can appreciate their beauty without necessarily being interested in entering the place. Such men are not what they are used to, and it saddens them when they can't have leverage over a man with the implied promise of sex.
