TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Eriokanmi:
linconab:
I made the biometrics enquiries for someone then...
I thought 12k CAD which shows that i am financially capable, please how much should i input incase of next time?

And for the hotel reservation, please how can i go about it, probably any pay at the property website I can use
For the intenaries, can you please provide a guide. And also how can I go about the family ties...I actually input my parents details Thanks
Hello. Don't entertain any form of worry. Why were you refused? Work on that.

Again, to those uploading all their towns master plans, lol. All you need do is , just follow the simple procedure. Their requirements are precise on their website. If they need more information, they'd contact you. You don't have to pay for any hotel in advance my broda. Hotel and flight booking aren't realistic nowadays too. I booked a hotel for Hungary last September and they were asking me to pay in 24 hours. I cancelled it. I now booked another one and kept it. On arrival early October, the rate wasn't the same anymore and i wasn't informed beforehand.

I booked a flight for a North American trip last week on travelwings, they called me the following day to pay. travelstart does that too. If you don't pay within 24-48hrs, it will be cancelled so, flight or hotel booking in advance is old-fashioned. Visa Processing time is pretty long now and IRCC knows that. Unlike when we used to get a decision within 2 weeks back then. If you go to booking.com, book and keep your details, by the time you're ready to fly after approving your visa, rates won't be the same again because you may have held it for too long due to the ridiculously
long processing time for Nigerian applicants.

Next time, do the following:

Just state you're spending 10 or 12 days and put like 4000CAD (I've always stated this figure right from my first visa approval) and upload an itinerary( places you'd like to visit as a tourist), book some fun parks and upload the bookings, watch before you book, so you don't book expensive ones and overshoot your 4000cad budget. As a tourist, an invite isn't necessary. Under that column on the IRCC website where you're asked to upload your invitation letter just upload the bookings made on those fun parks. Most of them don't ask for payment when booking.

The below is an example of your itinerary...

16th January, arrival in BC
17th visit to XYZ Park and take a short ride
18th visit to XYZ and repeat the visit on 19th and 20th.
21st, travel to XYZ Town and have a feel of the Niagra falls. It takes an xyz hours to get there so I'd rest on arrival. I hope to spend 3 days there(22nd 23rd and 24th), etc.
On Sunday, I'd go to church located at XYZ for service and if you're a Muslim, on Friday, state the nearest mosque where you'd like to visit and pray...though not compulsory,

Just precise itinerary and locations wouid suffice.

Your bank balance was good. Maybe because I've been traveling before, I don't bother myself with the above stories, I only did in my first time of applying. It may be necessary for first time applicants. Even during my first time applying, I didn't have a house or property document so, I didn't submit one. My visa was approved. The IRCC only wants to know that you'd come back to Nigeria after your visit and you've shown proofs that you had a company from what I read on what you stated that you submitted. If you're a member of any professional body or association, you may upload certificates under documents on the portal not your academic certificates except you're applying to study. Also, highlight your leave period in your introduction letter and upload . Your company can sponsor your vacation. It's allowed and don't forget to state that also

There are people who have houses and have sold them. They uploaded proofs, got to Canada but never came back. The VOs are psychologists too, mind you. That 12k is much. Having 100m in your account isn't a criterion for a visa approval. They'd look at your inflows and outflows for the period requested, not just a lump sum deposit. Please take note of this next time. Even if you don't have travel history, it doesn't matter, just be precise, honest and plan well ahead, though travel history helps boost your application, especially to the US. They hardly reckon with visits to UK from experience. My cousin had been to UK 2 times and his visa was still refused until he got USA visa and reapplied with a fresh visa and same documents he uploaded in the previous application. He got 5 years on a 5-year validity passport. I still don't know why usa visa ( valid or expired) is a plus till now. Maybe because they're neighbours.

Try next time, Tell them the 4000cad doesn't include your flight ticket but only for your stay. They'd do the maths with the credit balance and your account performance ( esp the in flows)with the bank statement you uploaded on a rough estimate of your flight ticket . I hope you got my points.

Pls Pardon my long story. I felt you needed help and this would help. Still read widely on this thread. The information garnered would also help you.

Good luck next time.
PoliticsRe: Supreme Court Reserves Judgment In Nasarawa Guber Legal Battle by Eriokanmi: 2:31pm On Jan 16, 2024
Cocolatti:
Northern ppower brokers see Nasarawa as an extension of the Caliphate, so they don't believe that an Ombugadu should be Governor. If the PDP candidate was a Muslim it would have been easy to concede defeat by the APC. The case of Nasarawa is beyond party politics.
Are you saying religion will be a decider in thhs case? No wonder the country
isn't at peace when people are being deprived of their rights openly. God doesn't live in such an environment. Then let's throw our constitution away and appoint secondary school graduates as judges, since those who are professionals will be biased against a supposed winner. We don't need them there since they can't do their jobs notably.

I still have the nasarawa results on my computer till now. You can imagine the people of the state saying openly that the pdp guy was their endorsed candidate and Labour willingly stepped down and supported him. It will be interesting though. Sule even lost his ward and LG where he hails from, to show Nigerians it wasn't about religion
PoliticsRe: Supreme Court Reserves Judgment In Nasarawa Guber Legal Battle by Eriokanmi: 1:57pm On Jan 16, 2024
Nasarawa election was so clear and I hope the past leaders in that state won't connive with the federal govt to upturn the judgement in favour of the APC . It would be a slap on the face of the pdp guy who was voted overwhelmingly, just the way kano election went.

Mr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is a strong believer of our principle in Nigeria: where man dey work, na for there him dey shop. The only problem is that he has been caught in the act.

But then, the minister has a good plan for his ministry. The reforms are commendable and the milestone achieved so far will collapse if he is sacked. For this, he needs to stay and finish what he started because he's doing a great job in his ministry.
Another emotional Nigerian. grin. Is he the only Nigerian with great ideas. We're over 200m guy. Where him own end, na there another pesin with better ideas start. She o ye ę?

Congrats Ope. This has validated my earlier post. Your USA visa as an applicant will remain a plus, whenever the IRCC is working on your application cos your application processing will be expedited. I read about you obtaining a US visa last December, after seeing the good news you shared, great one!

As you're still single, please enjoy yourself to the fullest, but carefully. Don't be coerced into whatever could get you entangled and please, pray for the right one always. The US VO must have seen how vibrant you are career wise , for her to have said you can't give birth in the US unless you're married, telling you to travel responsibly grin. She knew anything could happen as a single guy and a frequent traveller that you are.Good luck!

I impregnated my ex girlfriend when I was young and relocated because at time I was young and stupid, I gave her money for abortion but she disagreed on removing it , so I had no choice but to flee as I was irresponsible and poor
My ex girlfriend put to bed months after I left and raised the child living with her parents
I relocated back last year December , I'm trying to get back with my daughter but my ex won't let me be near me even I want to take responsibility and care for my daughter
She's getting me frustrated, I'm thinking of suing her for not letting me be a presence in my daughter's life
Hear yourself
Wicked guy like you. I blame girls who are opening their legs for people like you who don't even appreciate what's called love. What if she agreed to abort and she died in the process?
PoliticsRe: How Dangote Refinery Exposed Nigeria’s Shipping Inadequacies by Eriokanmi: 3:38pm On Jan 15, 2024
DMerciful:
If the Dangote refinery was built in Niger Delta, there would be no need for shipping, just pipe the crude there.

Niger Delta, una see unasef? Your insecurity is making you lose your birthright!
You have a point but what happens to the Ondo oil wells? There are oil companies there drilling as well. Obat Oil, Agip shell and Chevron used to be there. Dangote can still tap from there and lay pipes across the coastal lines directly to his refineries.

Maybe he's afraid of the cost implications in the laying of the pipes, vandalism too.

Hello,To be honest with u ,majority that apply on this forum and got visit visa are currently in canada and they know themselves and stay back ..pls do not ask me how!
I've been following this thread since it was created almost 10 years ago. We know ourselves. New entrants here may have obtained a visit visa and left for Canada after tapping from the rich ideas shared by members here but refused to come back.

At least, I know of those who have been travelling to Canada long before this thread was created and are also members here. Most of us visit only cos we have strong ties to Nigeria. We work and live here. I've been visiting since 2005 when we used to apply for canada visa at their embassy at anifowoshe office, VI. Processing time back then was 2 weeks. That was before they sub-contracted visa processing to the VFS Global. My first US visa was obtained about same year.

Be that as it may, if anyone chooses to visit Canada and ends up staying back, who am I to stop that person? It's their choice bro. The economic situation isn't smiling. Anyone who has the opportunity to japa should do so, but sensibly. Go to study there like most of us did, tap opportunities and come back home to utilize it.

Our leaders and those who supported them will be met with God's reward. They're the cause of the current economic woes

Christianity EtcRe: TB Joshua Healed My Daughter Of Asthma – Ronke Ojo by Eriokanmi: 4:01pm On Jan 13, 2024
Many people have failed to realise something. Gifts of God are for mankind. God gives without looking back to collect it. To some, vision, to others, power to heal, and some, He will give wisdom while some, dreams.

However, how you use these gifts, you must give account when you meet Him after your sojourn on earth. If TB Joshua had used it well , he will face the creator. Only man will give you gifts and take it back. But when God gives, even if you begin to sell it to the poor when God Himself says salvation is free or you mess up with it by defiling God's trmple with it, you'd give account.

Finding a job in Canada has become tough, and many people are struggling to express their difficulties. It's disheartening to see professionals taking low-paying jobs just to make ends meet due to the high cost of living. International students also face challenges finding work to support their education. The silent suffering is worsened by societal pressures back home. If you know someone who recently moved to Canada, reach out with words of encouragement, as many silently bear the burden, impacting their mental health. I met a girl on a bus in toronto who was crying after we discussed these challenges. Hoping for better times ahead.
Please brace yourselves. Most of us here on this forum are visitors/tourists who visit regularly on holidays or programmes and return to Nigeria afterwards. I think this piece of advice would be more relevant at the Canada students visa and Express entry sections, hoping they'd have a sense of reasoning. Thanks.

She married him because of the big bick.

Nature can be funny at times.. see the kind of bazooka this lil man is armed with.
A lot of people are getting it all wrong with this belief. Being tall doesn't determine the size or length of your manhood. Any lady who harps on this will be disappointed, 90% of the time. A woman once complained to a Dr friend that her husband is Mr big and she's always uncomfortable each time they meet. She said she's had tears several times and it's always painful. By the time the man showed up, he's barely 5ft tall. My friend now counseled them on how to go about it with a longer pre-intimacy, the type of cream to buy and they'd be fine.

In like-manner, a fulani young lady in Abuja once cried out too. She said her tall husband had a very small manhood. She said she decided to keep herself for that man of her choice, that she had always looked for a handsome and tall guy and finally, she got one. She said they both agreed they'd not meet each other until after their wedding day. She said she's not doing again. She's from a wealthy and educated home. My friend had to sit her down and cancelled her. He also told her what to do to manage it.

Religion is a ticking-bomb, a continuous end and a brain-drain to Africa; religion, an opium of the masses. No wonder those advanced countries make Jest of us. And the relidiots keep thinking there is something special about Africa continent because of Religion. Little did they know is that Africa is being milked dry because of her resources. They dumped foreign religious sh!t on Africa. These foreign religions perpetuated in early slavery. I discover that religious centres are nothing but business centres and those your General Overseers (C. E. Os) are in cahoots with polithiefcians in Nigeria.

Foreign (Slavery) Religions: Turning family members, friends, hoi poloi against one other. But keeping the G. Os. and looters (not leaders) together in peace and harmony, using it to divide the people, and hiding under it to milk the National treasury.

However, arguing with religious people is a total waste of time and an exercise in futility. Wait until you hear "my pastor said..."; "the bybull says...". Then you will know that religion addle the mind.

Foreign Religion is the death of Nigeria...
