13th Nov biometrics. Still waiting.

watch out, any moment

Ashirioluwa:


There’s a section in the application where they ask

- Do you have a valid national identity document?
- Document number
- Confirm your document number
- Date of issue

You will answer yes if you have NIN; otherwise, you will say no.

But I am pretty sure that including NIN or not will not have any impact on the outcome of a visa application.

My wife's visa was approved even though she didn’t have an NIN when she submitted her application.

Exactly. I had NIN but I said no on the form. It's of no impact on the outcome of an application

mojisolani:






You no add NIN put ? Wonder why people say nin is compulsory .

hahaha. NIN bawo? It's not compulsory

Which of the goats oo

Now I understand your point but The refusal rate for Canadian tourist visas is currently quite high, especially for individuals without a travel history. An agent I know has even ceased processing Canadian tourist visas and is now only handling student visas, as the risks outweigh the benefits. This agent confided in me that some of his clients have been refused, and because they paid in full due to his previously high approval rate over the last year, he doesn't know how to inform them of the refusal. He has invested their money in some building projects, so he keeps telling them that the visa process is delayed by IRCC. This is reflected in the silence of this group, as most people seldom share details of their visa refusals. Please, if you are using an agent, try to ask for your login because some agent might conceal the refusal due to financial reasons.

Those using agents, sope otiloo . If I were in their shoes and could see that 3m naira they paid agents, I'd buy 500gigs of data, load my home with foods and provision, buy enough fuel for gen and research on how to secure a Canadian visa legitimately, I'd start by reading visa threads on Nairaland back to back, go on quora, indian visa threads etc. I'd get the visa in my first attempt.

This was what I did on my very first usa visa in 2004. While others were spending a lot of money on night browsing watching porn and meeting new friends on yahoo, friendfinder and hotmail messengers, I'd book nights and research on how to secure a USA visa. As far back as 2004, the US embassy was always asking for a bank statement and they could grant as low as 2 months visa. Things have changed now. They rarely ask for statements nowadays, except you're applying for a student visa

I researched on bonds, call-accounts, etc as alternative to bank statements. I didn't have anyone to assist me with a bank statement and I wasn't earning good salary too.

I just went to a banker who assisted me with a call account and a bond with the little I had in my account. It had a tenor of 3 months. When the VO asked for my statement, I simply told him ok, presented the bond and call-account details to him. He looked at it carefully and said, your visa had been approved, all these documents are well known to them as proof of funds. I saw a money order on Indian threads too.. I was issued 3 months visa and the journey had been smooth ever since, to the glory of God.

After I got my visa, I approached my friend who was asking for some money before linking me with a sponsor. He said us embassy would use my visa fee to plant flowers. I called his bluff. He was shocked below his belts when he saw my visa on my virgin passport. Travels are fun. You can easily gain international connections and be made in life, even faster than your peers. But e get wetin everybody dey reason shaa. I made my first contact on my first trip at an international conference. How someone would be thinking of staying put on a visit visa is appalling, when there are loads of opportunities here which Chinese and Indians are rushing in to tap from. Nigeria is one of the cheapest countries with boundless opportunities. What more can I say?

Youths nowadays are so lazy. Parting with 3m naira on a visit visa is crazy. Most of the agents don't even know Jack, to say the least.

See what police men at Egba Benin Auchi byepass did to my friends yesterday.

The police men from Egba devision opened fire on my friends almost killing one.
They were traveling from Auchi to Benin
They got to egba they met policemen at checkpoint.
The policemen were attending to other cars and my friends were in a hurry
They tried to pass the check point the police man threatened them by pointing his gun, my friends thought it was just to scare them
Not knowing that the police man will shoot.

The officer opened fire which almost sent them to grave.

Check pics under

My friend is currently battling with his life

Modified pls how do I report this to the necessary authorities

Modified pls not everybody that drive or own a car are into yahoo.

Fine I know my friends did wrong by trying to go without stopping

But it s not enough reason to shoot

If if that bullet had hit someone else and missed the target.

You don’t open fire anyhow

Please next time, always honour their order. Its for a reason...to fish out criminals and you know that Egba is a hotbed, when it comes to criminals activities, auchi-Benin highway is a beehive of robbers and kidnappers. I know Egba very well, up to Umagbaę.

Please always stop next time. They hold a gun and can do whatever they like with it. You hardly can win the police in any court. Patapata, they'd say they acted on self defence. Where would you defend that as a civilian?

You nor try at all. Una for wait. If you try report it, you risk being put behind bars. Just treat your friend and thank God you no lose am. You guys made a wrong move.

RenaissanceGuy:
Me too. I received ₦450,000 from Nairaland. That was when Seun was nice; he has changed now.

country hard lol

Trevor125:
Please is abortion a very terrible sin??
Someone daughter is pregnant, but I'm not sure if the pregnancy is mine....🤔🤔🤔🤔😕i have been having sleepless nights.. 😭😭💔

I don't want to be a father yet😭😭😭😭, the country is very tough nd frustrating..can 2 months pregnancy be terminated??

She's older than me, I don't wanna start this journey; I'm too young for this..
I wanted to chop nd clean mouth but it has hooked me.. Bleep up.😭😭😭😭

So, you meant you knew all these before you embarked on the kerewa journey . Meanwhile, age is just a number. You've gotten a wife already. Allow that precious gift to live abeg. The baby may he your only hope in life if allowed to come to this world. There's always this fear but confront it. You'd be glad you did.

By the way, so people still have unprotected sex nowadays wey hiv dey everywhere? You get mind oo

meum:
Call the name of the person with your full chest.

Maybe he wants to jail ododo who has an immunity clause on his head . If not for bigotry, tipping Bello to do second term by buhari was uncalled for.

He should never have been allowed to be governor at all. The okun man should have been allowed to continue on the joint ticket with late audu.
There are several reasons Nigeria's development is still stagnant...religous bigotry (which both Christians and Muslims are guilty of),tribalism, et al.
There's no single development in Kogi. I visit fmc lokoja always

uchennay:


"He has never been to NA countries before but has been to EU for training twice in the past"

is this a typing error because this statement is confusing if you mean he has never been to any country but travel to Europe twice

Not an error. I meant he has never been to North American countries before. NA is an acronym for North America,(mainly US and Canada) which could have boosted his chances .

Though applicants can get a visa approval with no travel history.

Bigkenny:


Both are the same. Use email if you know the IRCC office where your application is being processed, if not, then use a webform, and IRCC will forward your webform to the right office for you.

Based on their processing timeline, I would suggest that you wait until May before you start to worry because, as of now, your application is still within the processing timeframe.

Note that processing time starts counting a day after biometrics is done, not when an application is submitted. Count 164 days from the following day after your biometric was done to see if your application is still within processing time or not.

Correct! I think by early or mid may, response on her decision would come. My webform was answered but response took nearly 3 weeks. They said my application was with the Lagos IRCC office, that I should contact them. Meanwhile, email took just 2 days. I first received an auto response immediately after mailing the IRCC, then 2 days later, I received a response that they were actually processing my application and the job was quite overwhelming. They apologized that they would respond soon, that I should bear with them.

Kelvinarsenal:

When did u submit his application and date of biometrics?

Mid November 2023. My biometric is still valid. He had his biometrics done shortly after his app was submitted by me.

mojisolani:




Sending mail or webform which one is okay ? I submitted November 30th and nothing till now oooo

Send mail dear. They will definitely respond. The one I sent on behalf of my technician received a swift response cos I stated that airlines ticket always increases as the travel date approaches and we already had a budget for the trip which we would not like to exceed. I also explained the importance of the training, which we cannot afford to miss

olaoluwa83:


Congratulations.

Please, can u kindly share timeline.

Thanks

Hi, and @ tblaze007, application submitted for myself and staff who is my company's tech unit head mid November.

Same docs were submitted for both applications except a few, which pointed directly to him. My application was approved a couple of months back, while his own was still waiting in line, until this morning.
I had an expired and valid US visa already while my technician had nothing, maybe a reason his application went through the normal processing time.
He has never been to NA countries before but has been to EU for training twice in the past.

I did not enroll for biometric because mine is still valid while he did.

Documents submitted

Copies of his past training certificates
His marriage certificate
Employment letter
A copy of his job ID
A letter stating the importance of the training and benefits to our company and the sector that we serve
A Letter of promotion as the head of tech. unit with the new roles clearly defined
The company bank statement( which covered both of us cos my company was the sponsor)
The invitation letter from our business partner for the training
God factor, ultimately
That's all.

pcachuks:
I got passport request too yesterday. Please how do i submit my passport through DHL ?

Congrats dear. Please go here:

Divine15:
how far people are willing to go just to leave this country

Their leaders they supported between 2015 and 2023 have failed them.

Whenever people are blaming buhari, I simply smh for them. There's only one person who had ruined the Nigerian economy from 2015 till now. That person is none other than tinubu. He was the one campaigning for buhari in 2015 wholile the latter would only be shaking broom at the end of each campaign. He was doing so just to actualize his lifetime ambition. He knew he'd not be tolerated in the north during his time he now used a muslim-muslim ticket bait to catch them.

Nigeria is such a wonderful country who are enmeshed in tribalism and bigotry of sort. Had tinubu not campaigned for Buhari and flown him upandan in his private jet that he bought with our money in lagos, spreading propaganda here and there, how would buhari have neared power? Same man asked buhari to print more money

We will be wise someday. Imagine some blind people calling me fake by not supporting scam? I'm not surprised though. They called OBJ and Pa Bode George names too. Now our foreign reserves have gone down. They spent a huge sum, rescuing the naira, what they accused buhari, same man from same party of. We are so gullible in Nigeria. We're not ready for a real change yet.

Good morning everyone. Please if you submitted your application last November or earlier and you've not heard from the IRCC till now, kindly send them a mail, asking for your application's update. My technician who will be travelling with me for a training just received his PPR this morning. I wish all those waiting best of luck and divine favour in the sight of VOs handling their apps.

By the way,DIY is the best way. I've read a moniker's message, which looks like a scam to me. I needn't respond because some peeps have done that already. STOP PATRONISING AGENTS!!!

BareFacedLies:
Her sugar daddy is alive to his duties

archaic mentality and thinking. I can imagine what guys would be saying to my daughter when they see the iPhone I bought for her

Akwamkpuruamu:
Only fools believe that naira is stabilising without A dip in the foreign reserve. Same thing Emefiele did, that they are crucifying him for.

Government of deception.

Don't mind the jaujau man called Tinubu. He knows nothing about governance, only propaganda. He was the same man who brought us here . He was the one campaigning for Buhari in 2015, carrying him upandan in his private jet.

All what Buhari was busy doing then was shaking the broom after each campaign programme. It was tinubu who wrecked the Nigerian Economy not buhari. He was the one who deceived Nigerians and painted Buhari white. He got to office and set nigeria backward by 40 years. Last night I heard on channels tv that Nigeria breweries wanted to shut down 2 of their facilities meaning more people will be thrown out of jobs. The minister of trade corroborated it. Sadly, only in Nigeria are all these happening. Multinationals are leaving in droves for Ghana, Ethiopia, Botswana and Kenya.

Now the propaganda continues. Nigeria no wise at all. They will be wise someday.

favor914:
Na Tinubu make you poor abi?

If you're one 10th rich as I am, then you don do well for life

Lordsonn:
Foreign reserve is going down deeply. We all know why naira is depreciating now.
The next move is for the government to borrow billions of dollars to defend naira. This method cannot sustain for long. CBN has given out 2 billion dollars in less than two months to banks and BDCs to defend naira. This is sad.

Tunubu simply did what he once accused Buhari and emefiele of( rescuing the naira with dollar). See how super clueless he is? As clueless as those supporting him.

Ganduje, the dollar man . Only God knows how many amputations he must have approved while un office as governor on those who stole food because they were hungry, someone whose male genital should be tied to the camelback.

God is so patient

Racoon:
The lie and propaganda government is simply subsidising the dollar just as they are doing with the fraudulent fuel subsidy case. This is because the price of goods and services are not on a commensurate downward trend as the dollar is allegedly doing. This is why Reno Omokri propaganda of recent is only focused on this issue.

I just wonder why Tinubu's blind supporters keep praising him for the crashing of the dollars. Who caused the same dollars to rise in value against the naira if not same tinubu? He met it at 702 and now they're praising him for the naira rescue, the measure he castigated buhari for( saying it doesn't make sense rescuing the naira with tje dollar).

Expect more propaganda while his 4-year tenure lasts. Are you aware that 2 facilities of the Nigeria breweries will be shut down this week due to Tinubu's poor policies? More job losses are inevitable.

Nigeria is the only country where the multinationals are leaving in droves. It doesn't happen in other African countries, check it. Guess where they're leaving for...Ethiopia, Ghana, North Africa and Kenya.

chasteman:
Why Nigerians do behave like this, at least u can build what millions will benefit from this money. Well can this billion naira car fly 🕊️💸

Most of our so-called billionaires are selfish and greedy. No wonder we are not developing. It's my money mentality will keep retarding us as a country.

Imagine a whiteman who stands to gain nothing from Africa, extending a scholarship opportunity to Africans to study in their country? How many of our billionaires give scholarship to nigerians to study in Nigeria alone, let alone traveling overseas to study? I wonder where they are taking all the money to.

Jail the idiot and share his assets with the destitute in Africa

Slimdan360:


It’s the same thing we are all talking about. You choose not to reduce ur price after the crash of the dollar because according to you, products you produced when the dollar was high is yet to be exhausted but you can increase the price of your commodity the minute the dollar increase even when it’s clear the products you produced when the dollar was still low hasn’t been totally consumed. That’s an opportunistic behavior and Nigerians are master opportunists

Some do this truly , which is a very bad practice. They are enemies of state. But if such prices were increased due to high cost of living, like increase in the pump price which will automatically affect logistics and running cost, it is understandable . But when prices of petroleum products drop, commodity prices too should drop.

iamtoofan:



OGA why is these narrative always one way ... it is when dollar drop producers will tell us they have stock that will last 3month to finish

But if dollar Rise today .... same producers won't wait 48hrs to hike price, why can't they also wait to exhaust Old stock before jumping on New stock price

Even as we speak should dollar jump to 1500 tomorrow , traders/producers will inflate price again .. all that we bought when dollar was 1900 everyone is claiming will be swept under the carpet

Are you aware the price of a bag of rice has dropped? Do you know why? It's because most of the rice we eat are imported. Imported goods will witness immediate reduction in prices because they are not produced locally. You cannot stock rice for too long. A shipload of rice cant be enough to feed lagos alone in a month so, you expect prices of such commodities to drop immediately as more shiploads of rice are being discharged.

Noodles for instance are being produced locally, pasta, too. They import the materials and keep in silos which could last 3-6 months. until they exhaust them and order to replenish, dollar crashes will not affect price per unit. gradually, if the trend improves, the economy will improve.

Stop allowing these criminals in, una no go hear. I pity Canada right now

SlavaUkraini:
Dollar dey come down but prices of goods and services still remain the same ...

So the Law of Gravity dey fear and abandon the prices of goods and services for Nigeria ??

Can you produce at the rate of 1,700 to a dollar and sell below production cost just because dollar has crashed to 1000 or below?. Remember production is continuous in the manufacturing sector. If they bought raw materials at 1,700 to a dollar and set the cost of their final product at 2,000 for instance, and they have loads of that raw materials in their warehouses, they must first exhaust those ones before producing with fresh ones bought at reduced imported costs.

Before the naira's strength could have some positive impacts, we will enter june or july.

mamawa123:


Most of the time, the offices or locations where applications are processed are different from the offices or locations where visas are issued.

If you check the IRCC website, it is stated there that "visitor visa applications from Nigeria are processed in Nairobi." This doesn't mean that the visa will be issued in Nairobi. As a matter of fact, most visas processed for Nigerian applicants in Nairobi are issued in Lagos or Abuja.

The processing office for visitor visa applications for Nigerian applicants is the IRCC Nairobi office, but the visas are mostly issued at the Lagor or Abuja IRCC offices, and some are issued outside Nigeria.

My nephew's visa was processed in Nairobi last year, but on the visa vigilante, it shows that the visa was issued at IRCC Bamako office. He doesn’t even notice this until recently.

Anyway, the processing location, or where the visa is issued, is irrelevant to applicants. What an applicant cares about is the positive results—that his or her visa has been approved and issued.

Let IRCC issues the visa. No one care about the location or locations where the visas are processed or issued.
 
 
 

Noted. I really do not care where visa is approved or issued too. I only wonder why locations are always different, instead of Nigeria's office only. The Bamako that you also mentioned in your comment suggests to me that the list of IRCC's offices handling Nigerian visa applications may be endless. I remember accra too in 2016 when my cousin was going to study in Canada.

Anyway, they understand better.

TheOgaBoss:
shuabu that could not even win his own local government help obaseki to come back? how?

Oshio baba couldn't allow him there. Oshio baba is his father in politics in his LG. If not the party he belongs, I respect oshiomohle any day. They love him so much in that LG.

mamawa123:


The passport was sent to Canada embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon for stamping.

So, IRCC, Yaounde has joined the offices stamping Nigerian passports? Na wah oo. The other day it was Nairobi. Or could it be that its in transit to Nairobi?
