Hello all, I trust you all are doing well settling in school and course work.

I want to ask, if I am applying for visa, do I do so as a residence permit holder (BRP tier 4), or I should apply with my Nigerian passport.
Thanks

They keep asking repeat questions because you keep replying.

Reading a few pages back for free info can't be that hard, surely.

whytegirl:
True, true.
Encouraging laziness Can't read back, can't check on the TLS site, can't ask Google, can't go to the bank and ask customer care.. never-ending *sighs*

@Justwise and other gurus in the house please help me out I am self employed I run my own business with my own savings and current account so my account statement won't reflect monthly salary even though my accounts are in very good shape my problem is I need to know what documents and letters I need to write to aid my application apart from letter of invitation and bank statements because I feel in my case writing a letter of employment, confirmation of employment, authorisation for leave etc won't work since I'm self employed I'm a panel beater and I also export spare parts to east Africa on a medium scale how do I address and phrase the letters? Because the information listed on the UK visa website does not include people like me please help me out your advice will be gratefully appreciated

@justwise, please house I applied for refund after withdrawing from a UK Uni at the point of booking my appointment after meeting all requirements from school and the UK tier 4 visa. I lost someone close to me so I had to change my post study to Canada. Now the school said their normal policy is not to refund me but in exceptional case of loss of someone, they would need the death certificate before my refund can be authorised. Is this normal please? Do I have to go through that procedure?

@justwise and other gurus in the house

Thank u

@justwise, Good day. Please I need your advise on the UK visiting visa. I started working 6 months ago trying to apply for the UK visa, have never travelled out of the country before. Got a fixed deposit acc with about 100k plus, I earn roughly 140k monthly and my personal account of about 350 which will later be 425k at the end of Nov after removing all expenses after salary is added. My expenses for the month without shouldering any responsibility is 40k. My friend is wholly sponsoring the trip but I know I need to add other documents as well.

Documents I intend attaching are:
Reference letter from employer
Payslip for 6 months
Confirmation letter
Schedule of PAYEE remittance as I do not have a tax card yet
Fixed deposit bank statement
Personal bank statements
Birth certificate

The questions are
(1) having this balances does it reduce my chances of getting the visa with the fact that am not sponsoring anything.

(2) I lost my dad at a very young age and stay with my uncle who owns the building where we reside. He has been my sponsor/ guardian all through my education. Can I use our lawma bills and other bills that indicates our address without raising an issue there.

(3)i should get total a total emoluments of about 360k this Dec from my leave, salary and 13th month. Can I state that in my application knowing it has not entered or can't be accounted for now

Kindly advise and I stand to be corrected.
Thank you

Good morning all, please a friend of mine is traveling to the US in few days and the flight takes off at 11am. How can he get boarding pass and still get dollar from travelex before boarding time? He's really worried right now. Advice please.

Ddoy2003:
Pls can u please share with me the breakdown of bidmc cost estimate you got.looking forward to your positive response

pinky2016:
Let your friend get to the airport very early.

mamaron:
TEMMYO you are right o ( i perceive you are a lawyer!!!!) BUT.....could there be a scenario where the law is repealed and a child can no longer get a passport even with a valid birth certificate, assuming they did not get one at the time of birth? Isn't it this possibility that makes everyone get the passport ASAP rather than years later? In general, I think (and I may be wrong o) that in any country it's the passport that confers citizenship, just happens that in the US a US birth certificate entitles you to the passport.

Justwise any thoughts My sister TemmyO and i are just doing some mental gymnastics.

I NEED ADVISE O ABEG
Hi everyone,

I need urgent advise on what to do. I am currently a graduate student in Canada. Recently I came to Nigeria to marry my fiance of 4years. Prior to my arrival we had plans of bringing him over to Canada through the SOWP. I have told him about the whole process, getting some cash for fixed deposit and all. This was in a bid to save time because I am being mindful of the time left on my TRV. Unfortunately after our wedding, he could not raise his own part of the proof of finance on time. I know quite well that it is not a requirement but then we needed to cross our i's and t's. Right now, we have all the required document. However, I am 5 months away from graduation(April) and 9 months away from expiration of my TRV(August). I am not sure if we should still go ahead with this application, or let him apply for visit instead. I am utterly confused and I really need advise. cc oga siga , onyeoma8, oga akanni oga justwise, oga chrigo everybody help o!

What's the difference?

Thanks

bosypumpin:
@ justwise, I appreciate what you did some hours back. Thanks.

obipyper:
Can you get a work permit or something to remain in England, if a British citizen is pregnant for you?

Vinsturk:

Vinsturk:
Are you serious #justwise#...Please are you talking out of experience or or you think so. pls dont be mad at me i really need to be helped. Pls anybody with similar experience or exposure to canadian way shld assist me. God bless u

Vinsturk:
Thanks for the previous assistance

How easy is it to get your resident permit in canada with tourist multiple entry visa. I was told that one can easily get company work with your tourist visa and the company will assist you in getting work permit, and all these can happen in maximum of two months. Please i would appreciate it so deeply if a candid and experienced answer is given to this question because it is about life and death with a brother and an agent who assured him of all these promises. Please assist me sincerely. God bless you.

Thank you for your input. The matter has been laid to rest already. Nobody is above mistakes and nobody is IRCC/CIC here. What amazes me most is that, some people give pieces of advice on this forum as if they are IRCC. They have forgotten that circumstances and experiences of applicants differ. Probably because they're so lucky to have got a Canada visa based on their own circumstances, they believe such circumstances are applicable in all applications and cases. They think IRCC/CIC are angels, who don't reason nor make mistakes like human beings. Applicants' documents have been returned incomplete in the past...it had happened to me in 2006. I contacted them and got my documents back. That was the time CIC was still requesting original documents before VFS and online application were introduced. Applicants' documents have been mixedup in t past, etc. They're not angels. If I said I submitted a vital document that could have helped my application, backing it with letters with enough proofs that showed it wasn't a deliberate action after my documents had already been submitted and you're doubting it, acting as if you're a visa officer, then it's your palaver. It is needless to say or share what I didn't experience in this forum during my past quest for a Canada visa at this stage of my life. I won't be doing applicants any favour by doing so. I've been called names here in the past but I'm not moved by that because many of them are old enough to be the least staff under my payroll and that's a fact. My present Canada visa will be my 4th, and the 45th, if added to other embassies I'd got their visas globally so, why would I attempt to mislead young applicants here? It won't do me any good. If an embassy says you shouldn't send them emails on your case and because of that, you kept quiet and ignored some vital issues that could have helped your application by not emailing them, if your visa outcome turns negative, you should blame yourself. That does not mean you shouldn't double-check or scrutinise your application and documents before submitting it, to avoid refusal. CIC states clearly on their website that once an application was submitted, you couldn't send-in more documents....they know if people are given such an opportunity, it would be abused, likewise sending them emails because it could either distract them or delay their applications. Here in this forum, I apply my case and experience most of the time and that doesn't mean I know it all. It doesn't also mean I'm perfect. There are people with different experiences and cases. But in a situation where somebody is claiming superiority and acts as if he's IRCC, creating fears in the minds of the people who need help, that's a big problem and it's totally unacceptable. No matter people's negative feelings about me, I'm not deterred. I'm anonymous and I'd always remain one. I'm a comfortable businessman and I thank God for that. I only come here at my leisure or when I feel like taking a break from my work schedule to post comments. I've got more important things to do than attend to people's reactions. At times, silence is just more than ''the best answer'' for such people. Have a great day.
