my man! i think you exaggerate too much, and like that female asserted you are just jumping into sheer conclusions,

look! the percentage of nigerians who can afford all you have mentioned above is just %1 of who are mostly politicians who are just squandering tax payers money.

The Average remaining %99 of nigerians are poor and can not afford to travel to US or can Afford a room in the US.
yes! there are nigerians who are struggling in the US just like any other country in the world. there are also wealthy nigerians who are rich enough to buy their houses outright with no mortgage, it's not as bad as you have painted it on here, and no one, i mean no one! works 24/7 in the US, stop talking Rubbish! and no company would allow you to work 24/7 even if you want to. it's Against the law. Don't believe everything you hear
as that female have asserted be factual. the US is not full with only poor folks.

Don't bite my head off, it's not just my opinion i can prove it too. and yes! i have dashed (what ever that means) someone £20 infact i have dashed a lot of people £20 numerous times Ciao!

lindaayim:
wow your argument displays some ignorance......but its not my duty to educate you I'll only tell you this....be factual when you state your points.

Menakay:
I applied online since June 16th and no update till now.

hsim247:
US: Better money, better schools, more opportunities, better weather depending on the part of US you live, tougher immigration policies
Canada: easier immigration, good welfare system, affordable healthcare, cold weather.

Someone once said 'it is better to be poor in Canada than in the US but better to be rich in the US'

boja28:
I would anyday choose US over Canada. Yankee has it all....from varities of weather, land mass, opportunities, stronger economy, best tourist attractions, different races, best medical facilities, one of the best educational institutions, best entertainment industry...just name it!

Hello all I want to say a big thank you to all those that have contributed in one way or the other on this thread. I've applied twice previously for a trv and was refused both times. The last application before this third time was in Nov 2016. Anyway I decided to reapply again on the 19th of Sept and did bio on the 20th of Sept.. on the 24th of September I was asked for additional docs ( children's birth certificate ). I submitted this on the 27th of Sept. To God be the glory on the 5th of October I got passport request for myself,spouse and 2 kids.

Seun4FastLoans:
Maybe you should count 7 weeks from the day you did biometrics which is 13th July. I submitted on 7th Aug and did biometrics same day. I was called on 29th Sept

Seun4FastLoans:
Dear Applicant,

We would like to inform you that your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada Visa Office, on 29 Sep 2017 to the Canada Visa Application Centre.
You can track the status of your application through our website mentioned below using your tracking number.


A mail I got from visa office. *my heart is beating fast�����*

mevisbleek:
Reason for the email to Accra is that I see no reason why a mere TRV would take 99 days. They talk about first come first serve but I am not sure that its a true statement because some people who applied a couple of weeks after her had already gotten a response from the VO. As such, as a customer, I am disappointed at their level of service and processing timeline.

mevisbleek:
I am PR of Canada, I invited my younger sister. Her TRV was approved today at 7am Nigerian time. Hope this helps someone. The documents listed below are all she included, nothing more, nothing less.

Hope the timeline helps someone.

Good luck guys.

It is normal for every graduate who hears oil and gas to want to jump into it. Relax. you will need to build your Accounting experience first. you don't do that in oil and gas. I don't know of any Multi National firm that employs fresh graduates in Accounting department. Most guys in my department for instance did 3-5 years In an Accounting firm before they got here.

My Advice...seek employment in firms like PWC, KPMG, Ernst & Young, Deloitte or some other top local firms like Adetonai Isichei and SIO. Build your experience there, give urself 4-5 years of experience building and you will see how lucrative the Accounting profession is out there. You will see job offers you may be confused which to choose. you tho have to support yourself with basic ICT skills. The problem we have today is that some Accountants have so engrossed themselves in book keeping that they don't fit into the big firms with sophisticated IT systems.
All the best.

McDee01:
Ma'am, excuse me but I don't think you are on the right path though that is your opinion and I respect it. Defending the lady in question is okay because we haven't been opportune to hear her own part of the story BUT judging from what is on ground, I don't see the reason why the lady in question have to be bitter and cold towards his husband to be family. Haba na! Who does that? If you read correctly what he said here, it clearly shows that there is no love for the family at all.

My brethren, you need to have a round table discussion/pillow talk with your wife to be. Find out what her grievances towards your family is. If okay for you, I suggest you take her to your pastor/imam for thorough counseling and discussion. Remember, this is one mistake you can't afford to make. A wrong move can ruin your life forever! May God be with you and equip you with the needed wisdom in treating the issue. Jah Bless!!

urblackpearl:
Hello House.

Just to update u guys. Hubby and I applied via paper route on 5th July. We linked out application to an online account and we've been checking status. Got response today and we were both denied due to the fact that VO wasn't satisfied that we will return, travel history and insufficient funds.

It's not a big deal. We will visit other countries and see our friends that are based in canada some other time.

Wish you guys all the best!

We are in a group from Nigeria and we applied for tourist visas on June 21, 2017. We haven't received any confirmation yet. We were invited for Canada’s 150th anniversary, which has come and gone. What faith should we have that these will come soon?

frankiez33:
Please guys, I need your help.
Am staying in Dubai, want to apply for Canada visit visa with the intention of extending it to a permanent visa when I get there. How do I go with the visa application? Even if it's better applying from Nigeria. Help me with the step by step procedures. Thanks

aronkyshire:
Hi, I called the IRCC recently to verify this. You can apply to work while on visitors visa(TRV). But the employer would have to pay some money to CIC and undergo some screening at ESDC to ascertain that the job the visitor intends to do requires a scarce skill.

Tecno66:
These people are trully mad. Which northern interest? You guys voted for an old sick man because of northern interest inspite of the warning, now the problem has come up. What is being asked is simple. Let Buhari resume or resign if he is not well. Instead of joining hands to ask for the right to be done people are talking of northern interest. Perhaps if the man is completely paralized, they will want him to remain there as long as he is still breathing. I am not Igbo but I now see reason in NK's agitations. We cant continue like this.

Markfemi:
Igbos are the one wearing Fulani outfit
Igbos are the one calling Fulani master
Igbo are the one scared of Fulani one announcement all their leaders start to dey shiner
Nonsense
Anyways
Back to importance of thread
Buhari is incapacitated and the needful should be done
If anything happens to yemi BIAFRAN agitators would be child's play

ATTENTION NDI ANAMBRA GBURUGBURU!

For those shouting no election in Anambra State - especially those among you who are from our state, have you even sat for a moment and thought about the implications of boycotting election in Anambra State?

Well, based on the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria - which Anambra state is still part of, discouraging or hindering people from exercising their franchise in an election is classified as treason and in some cases terrorism.

we all know that many people will want to go and vote so as to chose who will govern them- but based on the high number of ipob touts deployed to anambra state by nnamdi kanu, many people out of fear of being victimized will chose to stay indoors - just like it happened during the previous stay at home order by ipob. forcing people to stay indoors is classified as terrorism - that's a crime against the state.

WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL DO WHEN THE ELECTION IS BOYCOTTED

If ipob led by nnamdi kanu succeeds in forcing people not to exercise their franchise during the elections by staying at home, the federal government will declare at state of emergency in Anambra State - the constitution will be suspended for as long as it takes to restore order - which may last for more than two or three years.

A military administrator from the north will be appointed to govern Anambra State for the period the state of emergency will be in place.
curfew will be declared from dusk till down - and anything that moves in between those periods will be shot at - and shot to kill.

Nigerian soldiers will be deployed in the entire south east but especially in Anambra State. This military occupation will last for an upward of two to three years. Anambra state will be fully governed by the military.

THE IMPACT OF STATE OF EMERGENCY ON NDI ANAMBRA

If state of emergency is declared in Anambra State even for one week, the impact will be so devastating that we may not recover from it for the next five years! how much more if it lasts for a year! don't forget that terrorism and hunting down terrorist doesn't just end in a week or months!

the federal might will be in Anambra for nothing less than one year and during these period, all the economic advancement made by ndi Anambra and its various active governors starting from Ngige down to peter obi and being consolidated by Obiano will all be destroyed!

the vibrant economy being jealously guided by ndi Anambra will be striped to shreds by the invading army! Anambra State will be looted to the ground!

we all know the modus operandi of the Nigerian security apparatus - which is shoot then ask questions later, many ndi Anambra will lost their lives for the simple reason that they were walking too fast while going to buy bread - the casualties will be too much that it may end up touching every household in anambra state!

the army will use Anambra State for Target practice - they can target your house and bomb it - or even your entire village and bomb it and claim that it is the hideout of ipob terrorist - if they can do it in borno which is their state how much worse do u think they will do to an infidel state in an infidel land! they will rape our fine girls, kill our young men and mess our vibrant cities and villages!

And guess what? nothing will happen! you know why? because we are in a state of emergency - the constitution has been suspended. human rights is now totally on hold! anything goes!

WHAT IPOB WILL DO NEXT WHEN STATE OF EMERGENCY IS DECLARED IN ANAMBRA STATE

After the declaration of the state of emergency in Anambra State, all the imported ipob touts will disappear from Anambra State as fast as their legs will carry them! then the army will begin to kill innocent ndi Anambra youths who are never members of ipob and brand them ipob terrorist (once the state of emergency is declared, the securities will stop calling them touts and miscreants but will start calling them terrorists).

the ipob miscreants will relocate to Enugu State and start their protest there - do u know why Enugu state?

because the Abia and Imo miscreants are too smart to expose their state to such anarchy! they will never take their protest to Abia and Iimo State! ask yourself - how many times have they taken their protest to Imo or Abia State? they hold their peaceful meetings in Abia and Imo but hold their riotous protest in anambra and enugu and port harcourt!

you know why? because an average Imo and Abia man are so self centered and naturally jealous of any one ahead of them! if truth be told, Anambra and Enugu state are so far ahead of these two states and are advancing faster than they can catch up hence their desire to destroy it - by the time they are done destroying Anambra and Enugu and are heading towards port-harcourt, things would av been settled and no harm will come upon their states of Abia and Imo!

after destroying Anambra - they will face Enugu and do same to it.

BY THE TIME THE HEAT IS HOT AND KANU IS DECLARED WANTED - HE WOULD AV TAKEN OFF WITH HIS ENTIRE FAMILY AND HEAD BACK TO EUROPE THRU THE BACK EXIT AND LEAVE OTHERS TO BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE INVADING ARMY!

whenever a man talks and brags that he will defend something with his life - believe me there lies a liar and a coward who will never make any sacrifice with his goat talk less of his life! Pete Edochie.

NDI AMANBRA - WHERE IS OUR SENSE OF PRIDE IN OUR STATE? WHERE IS THE WISDOM WE ARE KNOWN FOR?

My question to any one joining in shouting no election in Anambra state is - is this what you want for our dear state?

Is the fake struggle for Biafra worth destroying our state which we have worked so hard to raise it to this level?

I will advice each and every one of our indegenes joining nnamdi kanu to please go and read up history - biafran civil war destroyed mostly only Anambra and Enugu State - the present day Abia and Imo states were relatively left untouched - hence it is still a mystery to the people of these two states how we survived the destruction so fast and still leap ahead of them!

Do not let history to repeat itself in our state again!

CHARITY THEY SAY BEGINS AT HOME! LET NNAMDI KANU START HIS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE FROM ABIA STATE!

IF NNAMDI KANU WANTS TO CREATE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE LET HIM START FROM ABIA STATE! LET HIM START BY UNSEATING THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF IKPEAZU - AFTER DOING THAT, WE WILL JOIN HIM IN STOPPING DEMOCRACY IN OTHER EASTERN STATES!

Ndi Anambra please open your eyes! use your God given brain which we are known to possess in abundance in Anambra State!

DON'T LET NNAMDI KANU USE OUR STATE FOR HIS IPOB EXPERIMENT!

NDI ANAMBRA IBEM! PLEASE DON'T ALLOW NNAMDI KANU AND HIS IMPORTED IPOB TOUTS TO DESTROY OUR STATE WHICH WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO UPLIFT!



UDO DIRI ANAMBRA!

ANAMBRA ADI GO NMA!

EJIRO NWA DIBIA ENENE NSI!

ANAMBRA SAYS NO TO IPOB

Dear Consulate General,


“On Each Applicant Being Treated Fairly and On Their Own Merit”


My name is XYZ MD, a Medical Doctor working in a federal government hospital in Nigeria; I applied for an American non immigration visa and attended the interview on Tuesday (21/07/2015) at the Lagos consular office (Passport Number: A06712115 and Confirmation No: AA0054JJQO).

The purpose of which I intend to visit the US is both academic and humanitarian. I had planned to attend a medical conference themed “Difficult Fractures around the World” that will take place in Richland, Washington, September 16-19, 2015; a comprehensive discussion on treatment of difficult fractures all over the world.

SIGN (Surgical Implant General Network), the organizers and sponsors of this annual conference also give free intramedullary nail for treatment of poor patients with long bone fractures and I am fully involved in this free treatment in my country.

While waiting in one of the transient area at your embassy I noticed where it was boldly written that ‘we know some are nervous because this is their first visa interview, but they should be assured each applicant will be treated fairly and on their own merit’ (I might not have used the exact words!!).

However, to my greatest surprise the gentle lady who interviewed me appeared to lose interest when she realized I have not travelled before. She even used my supposedly strong points against me; monthly income and being a resident doctor.

She demanded to know why I have not travelled before despite my bulky monthly income, I told her I am very busy because of my training program as an Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon, the relevance she seemed not to understand. This I believed should have counted in my favor for the purposes of my US visa application. Moreover, the culture of travelling starts one day, why not with United States.

While studying the major criteria for granting of non immigrant visa: the purpose of travelling (mentioned above), ties in Nigeria that will ensure I return and the financial ability to afford the trip and stay in the United States and perhaps most importantly not being a risk to your country’s interests; I strongly believe my application should have been granted without issues.

I have a good and enviable career with Federal Medical Centre, a tertiary hospital and one of the best of its kind in Nigeria. My gross monthly a salary is #Bleep,Bleep (about $x,Bleep)

I am member of West Africa College of Surgeons and due for fellowship examination early next year after 6 years as a resident (This I would never jeopardize for an unknown future in the US). Even if am given stay permit in your country, it will take me a minimum of 10 years to get to where I am today in my country.

Additionally, I am married with two children, I have 2 cars and landed properties in two different towns (one of them is presently being developed). You can say I belong to upper class in my country, this is a comfort zone obtained after many years of hard work which I will never throw away.

Above all, I was never given the chance to discuss or prove most of these highlighted facts during the interview.

Lastly, I have devoted all my life to serving humanity and helping people get well. I have no family, or friends in the USA and I am definitely not flight or health risk. I believe I was not treated fairly.

I have made this complaint so that my case can be revisited if possible.

Thank you.

Dr. XYZ



Thank you for your email, your concerns are noted.

We do not have an appeal process. Applicants must wait at least ninety days to reapply. However, we strongly recommend that applicants only reapply if they believe that their circumstances have changed or they are able to present additional, compelling evidence of their socioeconomic ties to Nigeria or their reason for travel to the United States. Evidence may come in many forms, but when considered together, must be enough for the interviewing officer to conclude that the applicant's overall circumstances, including social, family, economic and other ties abroad, will compel him or her to leave the United States at the end of a temporary stay. “Ties” are the various aspects of life that bind one to one's place of residence, such as family relationships, employment and possessions. As each person’s situation is different, there is no single answer as to what constitutes adequate ties. Eligibility determinations for non-immigrant visa applications are made on the basis of the information presented by the applicant at the time of the interview. Refusals under Section 214(b) cannot be appealed or overturned, but they are not permanent. If the applicant is unable to establish eligibility to the satisfaction of the adjudicating officer, his or her only recourse is to reapply.

We regret any inconvenience this decision may have caused you. If you choose to reapply in the future, our practice is to have a different officer handle the interview if possible.

We hope this answers your questions.

Sincerely,
