When I was planning my Canadian Study about 7 years ago, I always wondered if I would ever get enough information to make a decision or to know what to expect from Canada visa requirements. My major unanswered questions were surrounding the part where I would have to deal with the visa processing.
I appreciate Nairaland's "Travelling to Canada" topic for giving me information enough to know what to expect about visa processing delays, people sharing reasons why they were denied, people sharing individual visa case-specific timeline and many more information of value.
Unfortunately this advantage, in my opinion, is seeping away as this very helpful Nairaland topic grows bigger;
1. Visa hopefuls are like a community, they love to hear from each-other and keep updated but searching through posts for update is somewhat tedious
2. Keeping everyone within this community is challenging. To remember the names and follow up with the update posts is not an easy task.
3. Huge bank of visa application outcomes and timelines leading to the outcome is almost impossible to track
4. The "Travelling to Canada" topic is now so big. Getting the right information may not be fast; a question important to you may be quickly buried in the topic pages
5. There is no single point of reference. Questions are answered mostly based out of individual's experience and understanding.

The values listed above are very vital, I hate to see vital values murdered. I have a solution and I honestly hope it would help the people that values it.

I came up with a form for applicants to fill in their application timeline and status updates. Users can update application information anytime. All inputs go in to a spreadsheet available online and accessible to all. Summary of inputs are available to users. Now anyone can keep ahead of what's happening and the history is not lost.


I would appreciate if the moderator of this topic can promote the use of this form.
Sometimes, solutions are just so simple.

Hi everyone I really need ur help, I intend applying for UK visit visa

I intend using my salary account, apart from my salary no money enters that account. My monthly salary after tax which is paid into my account is £600, on the average I withdraw £300 every month for my living cost which means i save the remaining £300.

I intend applying in November therefore I have printed my bank statement from May to October this year and my account balance is £6000, I have been employed for three years now.

I want to know if it ok cos a friend of my was refused because Eco thought his closing balance was more than 4 times monthly salary and I didn't understand coz we only print statement for six months

Also I a first time applicant and I'm attending a seminar which I have invitation letter for that. I have an uncle der who will accommodate me in the UK but I'm sponsoring my trip in terms of plane tickets to and fro and miscellaneous

I intend spending £544 on plane tickets and £200 as miscellaneous since I'm only going for a week

I will submit my leave letter, appointment letter, pay slips and my bank statement

In the finance section of the application form there is a portion that ask how much of ur salary goes to dependent or family, i spend £50 on bus fees for my 15 year old brother every month nd I intend stating that, the only proof I have of the is the receipts I'm given anytime I pay, can that also serve as source of tie? Pls need help I used £ and not N because I'm in Ghana

Good morning guys. Please I would love to get some enquiries about travelling to the u.k. I don't know anything about it. My brother is full british citizen he was born in the uk, he as been in the uk for 16 years and he is married with kids and am his only brother, hw can that be an advantage. Anticipating for ur reply Thanks .

Dongreat:
Tax is deducted based on how much you earn not how many hours you worked. This only implies for home students or citizens and not international students. You are giving 20hrs work visa (written bold on your visa) and you think you won't be taxed after 20hrs as an international student? You think they tax you as a citizen? It's another way to monitor international students so as to make sure you are studying and not devoting all your time working. I am speaking from experience. Please understand that he is an international student and not home.

spikesC:
Will they refund him immediately for the current tax year? I highly doubt that as they're even still processing for last year's

marauka:
I complained to my employers and they said I should sort the tax refund out with hmrc but that they will not tax me again. How do I get my refund?

I blasted the men, the white women and also our Nigerian women I know how these things are all I am saying is some of them can be avoided

You marry a woman here make provisions for her
You marry a white lady divorce her properly before you come home to marry
Don't use women for breeding sake and then abandon them to suffer
Sometimes you go and don't come back for years, sometimes they send nothing back home
See before I started writing I have witnessed first hand something like this and recently witnessed another some days back
So I do have an inkling of what I'm talking/writing about

Talk2Bella:
Oh there's nothing clueless about me honey

I am an unquenchable fire

You can't deny there's more than an essence of truth in what I have said

Talk2Bella:
No it is not, from the comments so far we all can see it's a common practice

Talk2Bella:
It's either you didn't read the whole content or didn't watch the video

I have no problem with the genuine ones I don't

I have a problem with the ones who abandon their wives and children here and barely come back home

Talk2Bella:
Where you forced to go there? No

My point is if you're gonna come home to Marry please always come back to check on your wives and kids

I understand the hustle really I do but using others to satisfy ourselves isn't that going too far, you have one wife abroad another home some of their kids don't even know what their fathers look like and their wives here have become like single mothers

If you wanna come home to marry please make provisions for the intended wife and children

Talk2Bella:
No I don't have a problem with that, that's the essence of this post, you lay where you make your he'd

As long as it's outta genuine love go ahead, you don't date a white man and when it's time to marry you remember you have African men back home to settle down with

Your previous passport number must surely be written on the new one, and that will make the VO notice your travel history.

UAE imposes new requirements on Nigerian nationals

20 OCT
IMPACT – MEDIUM

What is the change? The United Arab Emirates is now requiring that Nigerian nationals provide additional documentation when applying for entry visas.

What does the change mean? The new requirements are being imposed to ensure that UAE employers are meeting their tax obligations with regard to Nigerian employees.

Implementation time frame: Immediate.
Visas/permits affected: Entry visas.
Who is affected: Nigerian nationals applying for entry visas to the UAE.
Business impact: UAE employers should plan for additional documentation for Nigerian nationals.
Next steps: All applications for Nigerian nationals, including pending applications, that do not contain the additional documentation will be rejected.
Background: Nigerian visa applicants must include personal bank statements for the previous three months, credit card information and confirmed hotel booking, and couples whose surnames differ must include a copy of a marriage certificate. The documents should be submitted in JPG format not exceeding 375 KB.

Additionally, new restrictions on visa validity apply to Nigerian nationals. The maximum duration for an individual is 14 days, and the maximum for family members traveling together is 30 days. Applications for 96-hour visas must be submitted with proof of a visa for the onward destination country. Business visas cannot be extended in-country and travelers must leave the UAE to apply for a new visa.

BAL Analysis: UAE employers should be aware of the new restrictions for Nigerian employees and assignees.

Hi All, Please i have a question. I intend travelling with my husband and baby to London in Dec. Even though I own a training company that was registered last year, I just began training this month due to childbirth and just started getting income from it. I also used part of my savings to get a car and became an uber partner this month with income going into my business account. I included all these in my appl. However I am putting my husband as the sponsor as I do not curently have much in my account. My questions are:
1) Do i include my business statement of account showing these recent incomes despite not being up to 6months?
2) There is a part where they asked how much the trip will cost, do i put our entire budget and put the same amount in how much my husband will be adding as sponsor, OR do i put 0
3) In a section, it is asked how much we spend monthly. We already put the total amount in my husband's application. Do i put the total in mine too or just how much i spend personally like for hairdo etc
Thanks in anticipation
