Your explanation earlier on coupled with this isn't a bad one though. Normally won't do this, but will advise that you book one - a refundable one - covering all of your stay for POE purpose (this hardly will be necessary for me oh, I somehow can have the effrontery to square up and chin up, and chest out arriving a POE without one and discuss it smoothly with a CBP officer if the need arises, as an old-timer though, especially when enough raw cash is on me), and another one for two or three days first with this hotel of your choice.

If you happen to still like them, use them for the entirety of your trip, if not, you change hotels in line with your plan above....

Thanks.

Sorry, are you constrained to book this hotel that has no refund policy or what? Why will you book one of such in the first place?

I have used the hotel before, it’s the most affordable for me and OK for the price. Just thinking things could have changed there and don’t wanna go in all.

Hello, I’m going for 12days can I book hotel for 6 days? Because the hotel I’m booking has no refund and I need to check if it’s worth it before committing all my money on it. Will this be an issue at port of entry for not booking for all durations prior thanks.

Localbitcoin is getting shiity these days, I have been registered there for more than 4 years with countless of trades. Recently I got scammed for my 100$ iTunes gift card but unfortunately I reported and I got banned by localbitcoin admin because I told them paxful will soon overtake them as they have given room to scammers.

Hello all. I had previously posted my ordeal under this link-https://www.nairaland.com/2103860/canada-visit-tourist-visa-discussion/161#60732796
I thank God almighty for knowledge, wisdom in handling this case.To Him be all the glory. I remembered receiving unsolicited and unwarranted response from @kirikiri100 after my post. Despite the rantings by @Kirikiri100 whose behaviour clearly depicts his name, i was undetered.
I thank @Devaughn and @tripplebabygirl who made positive contributions. Am here to encourage people particularly, someone who had posted a case similar to mine sometime ago on this thread.
After my post here, i had put up a letter and sent it to the embassy in lagos, Accra and Abuja. I was informed that my application was handled in Lagos. After about a week, i got a call from the embassy stating that they have reviewed my letter,application and couldnt understand why visas were not affixed on my passport and that of my son. I was asked to bring my passport to the embassy.This i have done and 2yrs visas were issued to Us.Thanks for all the encouragement guys. People need to study the rules, procedures and guidelines on the cic website as i used that too in supporting my letter.In all, it was God.

And so fvcking what. Did you still get a visa to paradise? You want to go and spend your money why the fuzz? Spending time in Seychelles would give you worth of your money than going to Canada by this time which is getting cold now execept you are not really going as tourist. People that submitted fewer documents than you still got it. Stop making this people feel you coming there to see Jesus execept you want to disappear over there.

My family was refused today after 95 days.

Reasons for the 3 of us(me, wife and daughter were same as below:

1. Travel history
2. Purpose of visit
3. Lack of previous joint family travel

1. I have travelled alone to the UK about 6 times. Also to Canada(attended workshop for one week and returned) UAE, Turkey, India, South Africa, Kenya.

2. The family wanted to visit my wife's brother and his wife in Toronto for two weeks.

3. I have travelled together with my wife to the UK 3 times and to Turkey and Dubai together. But we have not travelled with our daughter before.

I provided all necessary documents to prove that we will return to Ghana. I am a head of department with good salary and 10 years working in the same company. My wife is a teacher and daughter is a pupil in class one.

My questions:
1. How do I address the refusal reasons?
Travel history: We have never violated any visit and have not spent more than a week outside Ghana. How do I address this reason?

2. Purpose. I included detailed itinerary for each day and where we would be staying. We are staying with her brother's family except two days where we will travel to Montreal and stay in a hotel. We provided bookings for this. We also stated we would take the opportunity to celebrate or 10th wedding Anniversary.

3. Lack of previous joint family visit. Do we have to travel together, the 3 of us to some country before we apply again to Canada?

Please help. Thanks.

Sorry for the refusal, are you a Ghanaian? Did you apply online?

Useless government won't condemn it by summoning S.A ambassador for explanation to this.

How can one improve and make sure he is not denied US visa again?

How many times are we talking about.

[quote author=Devaughn post=60735528][/quote]
And what has he got from that?
Denied!

I appreciate everyone here. I.have learnt a lot and this has guided my application. Applied with my family on 7th July and on 20th Sept, i got a mail to pick up our passports.
Upon receipt of our passports,my people, this is the situation i found myself. I applied for a TRV with my wife and son but shockingly, myself and my son were denied while my wife was granted 2yrs. Interestingly, there was no letter stating the grounds for my refusal likewise that of my son(4 yrs old). This is curious and shocking? Doesn’t this look like an error because every denial must come with a letter stating the basis of refusal. Mine nor my son did not come back with any letter. It was just my passport and my receipt. Note that I was the principal applicant and all funds were in my account. My wife didn’t even submit her bank statement or pay slips. My people, kindly analyse this and advise on the way forward.Who can explain this to me as I can’t phantom the reasoning behind the action of Canadian High Commission.What next can i do?

My brother US dey learn work believe you me. I majored in security and the odds here are just so much in favor of Estonia way more than the US. Do a little bit more of research before you just assume because of big name countries. NATO wasn't foolish to make Estonia the HQ of the cyber security division, in terms of population Estonia is not even as populated as the smallest state in Nigeria (Bayelsa) so it is quite foolish to think that the US with such huge population and almost the same facility would be better at it than them. I'm currently participating in a cyber security training session organized by Oxford University and guess what, they decided to do it in Tallinn. I don't like arguing blindly so if you feel I'm not saying what I'm saying on good authority then no problem because you can explore. They might not catch you immediately but eventually they will.... Mark my words

So you mean estonia is the best place to study I.t on the world? I can recommend it to my brother.

I still repeat, no country has full immunity against hackers and cyber crime all what they can do is to minimize it and its easy for them because of their low population.

kenigbolo:


Wetin I mean be say Estonia no be rich country like Germany so if na that kind intention then no.need to even bother. Secondly those yahoo boys for thier own good shouldn't come here. I majored in Networking and Security in my Bachelor's and I can say with good authority that Estonian Cybersphere is well secured from my impirical analysis so far and it seems like a wired central connected system. Anyone who plans on doing cyberfraud will be caught one way or another it doesn't matter how long, you will definitely be caught. This country is f**king advanced technologically that I can't help but weep for Nigeria. Anyways we are here to acquire as much knowledge as possible and then come back to implement in Nigeria.

So you mean they are more cyber secure than U.S and Germany whom even are still fighting hard to curb cyber crimes? I don't support cyber crime but stop painting Estonia like safe haven against cyber crime.

Location?

adehsenior:
Depending on where you are, if you're in the north I'll ask that you go into cattle fattening or grains storage.

Please tell me about the grain storage and hoarding. A friend of mine told me about it long ago.
