Hiya I donāt think the OP is clout chasing at all. The whole process is super expensive especially if one is earning in naira with the unstable exchange rate! I can see how this can drain oneās resources. GreatChizzy: |

I can totally relate. My sister, a nurse, had to sponsor herself to the UK to write the OSCE and thankfully, she passed. She got her NMC pin, went back to Nigeria and started applying for jobs. After about 600 applications, she finally got about 10 invites. Most of them, however, cancelled when she mentioned she couldnāt attend interviews on-site. She finally got one offer. She made it clear during the interview that she required sponsorship for work visa. They said no problem! Two weeks after the offer was made, they sent her a regret mail (excerpt below) that they couldnāt go ahead because sheās from a red list country! Unfortunately we cannot process your application any further on this occasion. We currently recruit overseas Nursing staff through an NHS Trust Supplier and we adhere to the NHSE Code of Practice in relation to applicants from Red List countries. This means we cannot accept any direct applications from candidates who are not already based in the UK. She got two more offers, and, again time to send COS, they sent a similar mail. She finally got a fourth offer from a trust that will pay for everything! We couldnāt even rejoice until she got the visa because she had been burnt three times! I forgot to add, before she did the OSCE, she had a physical interview with a care home that offered (verbally) to sponsor her and reimburse expenses etc once she gets her PIN. When she got it, she reached out to them but they eventually told her they couldnāt bring her from Nigeria. They thought she had some kind of visa to stay in the UK (she clearly told them she didnāt o) This is what I think 1. Focus on passing your OSCE (have you written it already?) 2. Follow through to the end and see if they will actually sponsor you once they realize you will be applying for visa from outside the UK. My sister got 4 offers rescinded when they realized she needed to move from a red list country 3. I know it costs a lot of money to get to the stage you are already. I live abroad and was able to pay for most things for my sister- I donāt know how sheād have done it otherwise, with the exchange rate and all. If you have someone close to you living abroad, consider asking for help and setting up a realistic payment plan. You possibly need money for - visa application (If you live outside Lagos or Abuja, factor in the cost of travelling for biometrics etc) -Flight to the UK -one month accommodation -maintenance until your first pay cheque Calculate this, know your numbers and then see how to go about it Meanwhile keep applying especially to those that take overseas nurses.

Mrsibhans:If sheās your biological sister, you can. It depends though on how much you have, what kind of work you do and most importantly, what ties your sister has in Nigeria My sister and my father got visit visas and I only used my own account- did not include theirs or even my spouseās. I mentioned on both occasions that I would fully pay for their trip to canada so they didnāt have to show Anything finance related. My sister has visited twice for holidays and returned back, my father is yet to come but he will also be going back to Nigeria after his visit. |

House34: My fatherās PPR came on September 18 and when we checked, there was passport submission appt on the 19th! So itās possible. If someone shares their story here, unless they are asking for money or telling you to PM them or asking to join a WhatsApp group, then, itās most likely not a lie. Even if it is a lie, we really shouldnāt discourage people from sharing their stories and timelines. What weāve done now can discourage genuine people from sharing their experiences. Thank you |

House34: It is NOT! My sister came to visit me last year (I posted the timeline and documents submitted- none of all the landed properties or plenty documents). My fathers Application was just approved and we submitted far less documents this time around! No bank statements whatsoever from either of them! My dad is retired and my mum is late so he more or less has little to show as per employment or ties. Both my family members did not need any financial documents from their end because I wrote that I was going to sponsor the entire trip! If you have a relative in Canada that is well established- has a good job and is financially stable- there is no reason to include all that (from my experience). Having said that, I do agree with you that circumstances differ. 1 Like |

Update: Tracker finally updated September 19 with his visa number and expiry date! I find this interesting because for most that reported here, itās the visa details that is first updated on the tracker- sometimes months before they receive BVL and PPR Just thought to share Fyorgyn: 2 Likes |

Thank you @Justwise for cleaning out this thread! It was becoming crowded with people dropping phone numbers and talking about ways to convert visit visa which is not the core purpose of this thread. This thread is for us to share timelines, provide info on applications, help each other and share experiences. The focus is on what happens before and during the visa application and NOT what happens AFTER the visa is issued. I feel that if we want to discuss work visas- post visit visa, another thread should be opened to discuss that! Thanks once again, Justwise for the clean up. 4 Likes |

Kennyg290: Oh wow! Did they ask you for supporting documents before biometrics? Were you in the military? There is very little information on canada visa applications for active/retired service men/women. Please share your experience as you go along. Thank you |

PPR for my father. December 27th 2022- Application Submitted January 12th- Biometrics April 27th- "additional information required"- A completed IMM 5546 (Details of Military Service). They do this for anyone who has been in the military. we filled and submitted the documents immediately June 21- "We are reviewing the additional information" September 13- "Background check completed" on tracker! nothing new on the portal September 18- BVL and PPR (same time). Tracker has not been updated Documents submitted We did not submit any elaborate documents with his application. No bank statements or landed properties etc. The only thing from his end was his passport data page! nothing else. Just a letter from me (his child), my birth certificate showing he is my father, my marriage certificate that he signed as a witness, proof of my status in canada, my bank statement- I did not include my husband's statement or his employment details! It was a very "light" application This was similar to how I applied for my sister last year (I shared this here last year)- no bank statements from her etc. Just thought to share! The details of military service was not easy to do at all and there was very limited information about it on nairaland. They wanted details of every unit my father worked in through out his military career, including names of his commanding officer etc at each rank. We filled it to the best of our knowledge and submitted it to them. For anyone who will be doing this in future, note that there are certain people who, according to ircc are deemed inadmissible to Canada. You could be found inadmissible for a number of reasons, such as: 1. security reasons, including espionage, subversion (attempts to overthrow a government, etc.), violence or terrorism, membership in an organization involved in any of these 2. human or international rights violations, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, being a senior official in a government engaged in gross human rights violations or subject to international sanctions https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/inadmissibility/reasons.html I guess that is why people with military background are really scrutinized. Hope this helps Thank you 8 Likes |

We only submitted my own financial statements etc. she didnāt show any financial documents- she just got her leave letter from work (I think I did a post last year). Her visa was approved quickly. Sheās come and gone back to Nigeria. |

Hiya If your PR sibling will sponsor the trip you may not need to show bank statement. Iām a PR and my sister recently applied to come visit us. I put the details in an earlier post.

PPR! I am a PR and applied for my sister to come visit. Application submitted: February 26 Biometrics done: March 3 Biometrics updated on portal: March 23 Eligibility and Background check: April 21 BVL and PPR: April 22 So grateful for this thread, Iād never have known about the new portal! Again, nairaland has been a great great resource for me. My sister has travel history to UK but it was over 5 years ago so we didnāt include it at all- so to all intent and purposes, sheās a new traveller! She also recently renewed her passport and got it just before applying- so basically āno travel historyā We indicated that we would fully sponsor her trip so she put $0 and didnāt include any bank statements of her own. Documents submitted I wrote an invitation letter and with the letter, I attached my employment letter, 3 months Paystubs 3 months bank statement (my closing balance was less than $3k), my birth certificate and hers (showing our parents names), my marriage certificate and hers (our father signed both) A few pictures (just as proof of relationship) PR cards of myself and family I had mentioned that my husband and I were sponsoring the trip but I didnāt include any of his financial documents (it was a risk I took jare) She attached the following documents Her employment letter (sheās gainfully employed and has been working at the same job for 16 years!) A letter from her husband giving his consent and saying he will take care of their children whilst sheās visiting me Her awards as most outstanding staff for 2021 No bank statements, leave letter, landed properties etc etc. I am so glad. Please o how long does it take for passport to be stamped and returned when submitting at Abuja VFS- we wan buy ticket 7 Likes |
