these case workers behave in an erratic way, it is crazy that digression and sentiments are applied to visiting visa review.

They are not serious very lazy ppl
And this particular application was airtight
No doc was spared
Uploaded ielts, msc, i even booked hotel and tour packages and uploaded it, work leave letter to show home ties, sponsor letter and id cards, i uploaded every single thing in the checklist, and its just a one week visitation.

giselle237:
@eniola1010 send paid mail. This was a mistake.

When i saw it i know that it was an error or the agent got carried away and forgot to state the reason.
Thank you so much.
Not related tho, but on this thread i see so many people challenging a refusal, but on most refusal i see, they always state that you cannot appeal, (1) should one ignore that clause and still appeal (2) has any body on this thread ever had his/her appeal turned from refusal to approval?

babadydx:
The reason was stated

What happened to the application or relevant info submitted? Is it pof, is it work ref letter, is it education degree, is it payslips, agent no talk which of them he get issue with.

What about the travel history? The person has never left nigeria before is that a taboo?

No interview was done with the person or the person’s sponsor?

No detailed reason
So how exactly is one supposed to correct whatever the agent found wrong when i re-apply?

I applied for someone visit visa, it was refused, but no reason was stated. Whats the way forward pls.
I have never seen something like this before.

Have they removed some noc?

CornOak:
That care route currently favors those already in Canada. Check this out.

Yeah i am aware. But they said they will still do for people outside canada too at a later undisclosed date. it’s better for people to be well positioned shey you get my point.

Luckygurl:
I never said I evaluated only my post graduate diploma.

Pls luckygirl. Whats the shortest degree or diploma someone in nigeria can do to add to a bsc so they can claim two or more degree

Please do anyone have tips or tricks on how to secure care jobs in canada from nigeria so our loved ones can position themself for the upcoming care giver pilot route

Congrats

affoncad:
Becareful with ur plan to add unaccompanying spouse as ircc now questioning applicant trying to add spouse after AOR.wish u all the best

First, I’ve got my ppr long ago. Second, yeah you are correct because its normal for people using the format to face hurdles however all one has to do is submit evidence and thats it. Not really a big adr in my opinion. So far it is allowed and its a legal loophole, i dont see anything bad in using it to get score. If they dont want it, let them block the loophole.

Ontarioo:
After AOR

Wow really thats really nice oh

At what point will your score not be recalculated when you add spouse please?

Please who has applied for uk visit visa recently in 2025
Before when i apply for visit visa at some point in the ukvi website i was able to upload proofs of hotel accommodation, flight tickets and other pdf, but now i cant see any section like that anymore

Or did i do something wrong?

Although it says i can upload in tls website but i used to be able to upload on ukvi website before..

Lol bro since 2021

AndroBlaze:

Hmmm....is 14 (2014) the highest year available in your sample?

If so the logic for your formula should work for now, unless those numbers in column A are not recognised as numbers and Excel is reading them as text.

It would also help to show us the error you are getting.

EDIT: Just thought about it, "06" as depicted in your image cannot be recognised as a number by Excel. You need to change the format or concaat the year itself as text.

Ur solution worked
Excel was reading it as a text
So i had to add VALUE to the function

As for the 2014, its assumed that the year is 2014 and we are trying to see how old the cars are, 06 asin 2006, so 2014-2006 meaning the car is 8 years old

Assuming we’re in the year 2014. How can i get the full year of column A and put in column B. For example B2 will be 2006 and B5 will be 1998, etc. i have tried =IF(A2=<14,A2+2000,A2+1900) its not working.

Lordsama:
Please is there a way they verify your age? What if am 33 years but decide to put 30years is there a way they will discover?

Ur international passport

Every thing you highlighted apart from the weather is far worse in Nigeria.
There are people in Nigeria who don't know where their ancestral home is. Go to Lagos and Abuja, you will see people who haven't been to their village or go to their village once in 10 years, so what's the big deal?

Which place is more expensive to live? A place where minimum wage on paper is 70k a month and bag of rice is 100k or place where minimum wage is $16 per hour and bag of rice is $80? A cleaner in Nigeria will work for a whole month yet his salary will not buy him a bag of rice while his counterpart in Canada only needs to work for 5 hrs to buy the same bag of rice. You and I know that most private school teachers don't earn up to 70k every month ooo.

Maybe you don't pay bills in Nigeria, you get things for free. You pay for light, yet you buy fuel for generator, solar panel, inverter etc just to have light. Buying recharge card for calls, is it not phone bill? Aren't you paying for the calls? Calculate how much you spend on recharge call monthly, that is your phone bill. I can go on and on. Tell me what service you get free in Nigeria while others in Canada pay for it. When I was in Nigeria, I pay for my estate security ooo, is that one not bill?

As for weather, winter is bad. However, it is 4 months not all year round. Besides, the same way you cope in extreme heat is the same way people cope with the cold. You have to do what is neccessary which is wearing thr right clothing's and having heaters on. At some point, winter wouldn't be a big deal anymore cos you would have adjusted to it

Look, there are legitimate and sound reasons why it may be a bad idea to migrate abroad for some people especially through study route but majority of people putting their mouth in this matter on this forum are just dishing out very unintelligent and dumb points that can't stand any logical test. If you want to convince people, then bring solid reasons not dumb reasons. This is why our effort to discourage stupid migration is failing cos people think we don't want them to come.

Imagine someone earning 500k per month in Lagos today, you are going to spend 1/5 of your monthly sweat on just 1 bag of rice.
This is why I ask, do you guys actually believe in what you write or just saying for saying sake?

God bless you sir

The guy is right. If you receive any large lump sum into your account, IRCC requires you to provide an explanation, that's why he MUST add the deed of gift to his application.

"IRCC stipulates that the funds cannot be borrowed from another person and the applicant will be asked to explain any large, lump sum transfers into an account."

Ok.

MayorOfEdmonton:
You are new to immigration and PR application.
Work reference letter has zero correlation with POF so your analogy of adding ID & pictures doesn’t apply in anyway.

I stand by what I said, if your POF is gift deed which a lot of folks have used over the years. State that it is and add the gift deed docs.
There’s no complication adding the gift deed to the bank letter when you’re applying.
There’s no competitive edge in withholding a gift deed document and wait for ADR.

If you decide not to add it to your application and wait for ADR, that’s fine but don’t advise others not to.
I’ve reviewed several GCMS notes over the years, and you’d be surprised the scrutiny POF gets.
The point of this thread is providing accurate information.
Cheers

Lol. Bro stop this long cap. Weda u r old on the thread or a new born baby on the thread is irrelevant.

Op asked two questions
He wants to know if he should add gift deed to prove his pof
He also wants to know if he should add bank statement to prove his work payslips


Now i am not advising op, op can do watever he pleases.

I have told op that ircc says upload ur work reference letter to prove ur work and upload ur bank reference letter to prove ur pof.

Simple as abc

Stop adding ur own narrative, you are not an ircc official.

If you now want to go further to add pictures of ur id card or bank statement or ur clinic scrub to prove ur work, you can if u want to

If you further want to add ur gift deed, ur donors id card, ur donors genotype, u can if u want to

But ircc has not asked u to unless they ask u to.


I dont know why una go dey complicate simple matter.
You think visa officer too doesnt want easy and straight forward application?

Its just like proof of marriage. All thats needed is ur marriage certificate, if u like include picture of you and ur wife cutting wedding cake and kissing, they will accept it nevertheless, but its not a must you include it.

Everything they need from u is on their website.

Staness:
lol. Ok na. Goan check immitracker, you’ll see several cases of such. Just don’t mislead people. Imagine saying people should wait for ADR before providing gift deed and statement of account 🙄

Lol bro stop that cap. Ircc has never rejected anybody that uploaded only reference work letter neither have they rejected anyone that uploaded only bank reference letter. The most they can do is send adr to support those document if they are in doubt.

Is it you we will follow abi na the people wey go give us visa we go follow?

They have told u what to upload, it is now ur choice if u want to upload statement which is not bad as well, but u dont have to if u have a proper bank reference letter. Simple

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

Staness:
ah! This is not a good advice o. IRCC has been known to reject applications outrightly for not uploading enough supporting documents to show proof of work experience even though only reference letter was required and it was provided. Please add enough supporting documents if you can and don’t bank on the fact that they’ll send adr. Gift deed is very important if you know your salary cannot support your pof

Ircc rejected a person that uploaded work reference letter (that has all the requirement the work reference letter is supposed to have as stated on the ircc website)? Make una small small nau

MayorOfEdmonton:
Something to note for intending applicants (@horlorbah) to avoid needless delays in your processing, if you got a gift deed for your POF kindly attach the gift deed(notarized if possible) with your bank reference letter.

Mr A can’t state in his work reference letter that he earns #1.5m per annum for 3 years and suddenly has POF of #20m without stating the source. It subjects your application to needless scrutiny. If you used gift deed, simply truthfully state that you did. Provide the gift deed+evidence of transfer+proof of relationship to donor, if anything it makes POF one less thing the officer has to scrutinize.

Recently officers have been rejecting PR applications. In this era of changing immigration policies, there’s no advantage in holding off a document that helps your application IMO.
Cheers

So is ur work reference letter enough to prove u did a job or u must include ur work id card and picture of ur work premises?
I get ur point but ircc wont reject for not including gift deed or statement if u used bank reference, the most they will do is send adr for paystub, pay slip or bank statement then u can now be uploading ur gift deed and all. But if they dont ask why asking for trouble?

horlorbah:
Thank you for your response. I mean I was being paid in cash at my workplace but my dad is the one who wants to give me the POF so I will need a gift deed. So, do I still need to upload my 6 months statement of account alongside the gift deed from my dad?

No u dont need 6month statement.
What u need is a reference letter from ur bank, stating ur average balance for the past 6month, stating that you owe the bank no debt, stating ur account number and account name and when the account was opened, the reference letter must have a letterhead from the bank that shows the bank name, address and contact number and finally it must have ur balance


It is when they ask u to prove how u came about ur pof that u start uploading ur gift deed and statement of acc. So if u were not probed, no need to upload ur gift deed cert and statement of acc. No complicate ur case

What's your location?

Uk lagos
My whatsapp is on my bio

I have tonnes of charcoal and hibiscus flowers
I need an idea or a directory of how i can find people in need of these products oversea like uk china usa

I can ship to any country that is not my issue
My issue is finding client who are in need of this items

End users will do me no good since they cannot buy bulk
I have spoken with few grills and bbq resturants but the quantity they need is too small

I have spoken to few company that buys charcoal in bulk and repackage in bits to sell to resturants and camping enthusiasts, but most of them already have suppliers

Who can give me tips and hints of finding client that can buy these products in bulk?

I tried filling express entry profile for a brother, it says transmitted and you are not eligibile,

How can i re use the same email to register another profile
Also what is the lowest ielts score lrws needed to qualify, i thought it were 7666 or could i be wrong?
