That mean they were not convinced you would return to Nigeria. Work on the following before reapplying: your job, family with marriage certificate, enough bank balance, land property, travel history. kennyliza: No I don't have a family in CA hence the reason I booked an hotel. |

Your original passport is needed at vfs. First, you can't even enter at the entrance gate by the security without it, secondly, vfs will asks for it to verifies you and they collect from you and seal it in a folder, return the folder to you and only open by the person that will capture and take your finger prints. So please, go with your original passport and make 2 copies of it. Iamajala: Hello house,
Please for those who has gone for biometric recently, did you go with your passport to VFS on the day of your biometric? even though they only request for it after visa is approved. |

Submitting another application would add to the backlogs and it is a red flag for despiration, which could force VO to pay more attention and investigation into your documents. Only applications CIC advised to be resubmitted were those submitted before September 2021. And CIC said "no need to submit if you wish to be patience and no need to submit if you submitted after September that all application will be processed". This sentence indicates CIC discouraged resubmission and multiple applications for one applicant. megastu: But they have warned about submitting more than one application in order to hasten the decision process. Both may be refused. |

You can apply again. But work on your home ties. What is or are the proof of home ties you submitted before? What type of visa application was it? Liljel: I got a feedback from my application today, however, I was refused a Visa on the basis of lack of home ties.
Submitted January 5th 2022 Refusal January 28th 2022
I would apply again, but, how do I give the visa officer comfort that I would return to Nigeria before my visa elapses. |

There is a red flag with this your agent. 1. Wether your friend give birth or not, you don't go in group or individual to collect visa, you send your passport to vfs and vfs sends your passport to Canada embassy, you can use DHL or ups. 2. How can you be doing visa and you don't care what type of visa the agent is doing for you, sorry for this question but am just curious? Let's assume it is visiting, when is traveling date? Where and which province are you going for you to have even researched the province by now? Is it visiting or tourist? If it is work permit, did you give the agent your qualification? Resume? Which company hired you? Is it LMIA approved or excempted? Whether visit visa or work permit, you have 30 days to submit your original passport. Can you ask the agent to show you original passport request letter from the embassy and hear what he says? And if he shows you, can you ask him that you guys won't be going in group to collect the visa that you want to use courier service to send in your passport for stamping? Hope other experienced people in this group will add to my points. onyealid: Hi all, please I and my 3 other friends used an agent for a visa processing to Canada, he told us the visa has been approved but he did not tell us the type of visa either visit or work permit. Now he said because one of us is almost due to give birth that it is better to wait after delivery so we all can go for the visa collection in group. I don’t know if he is right or just buying time |

This is scam. Did you receive directly from CIC about the Biometric appointment? Their email address is fake. Be careful. Be warned. Ennymama: Hello gurus in the house,
Please I need your advice. I saw a sponsored ads on Facebook about Canada Jobs. It also captioned that the company will sponsor the visa. I picked the number and chatted on WhatsApp. I was asked to send my CV to their email and after 24hours, I was mailed that my qualifications met their requirements. I was offered job as a Drill Engineer for the Oil and gas company. I was later sent Temporary Residence Visa Form to fill as well as Labour Market Impact Assessment(LMIA) form and Job agreement letter(that have in it that I will be responsible for the biometrics fee while other cost till arrival will be handled by the company). I filled and signed where necessary and returned them with my International passport as requested.
After few days, I was mailed to send the LMIA , Visa Form and my International passport to the lagos embassy of Canada through the email they gave (lagos@vfsglobal.g-c.online, so as to book my biometrics. I did as instructed and after few hours, got a mail from the said lagos embassy mail that my documents have been reviewed and i should proceed to pay for my biometrics through the payment link supplied so I can be given date for the biometrics. The biometrics fee is $116 CAD and processing fee is $91 CAD, bringing total to $207 CAD which amounted to #66,549.89 or pay same into one CEDI SIGNAL ZENITH BANK account and send receipt to them.
I am confused as to being real or not which is the reason I seek your genuine and honest advice.
Thanks. |

Please someone explain.....What do they mean by saying you should be vaccinated 14 days before you travel? Does it mean if you are fully vaccinated since November 2021 and you are traveling February 2022, does it mean you can't travel? Does it mean you should take your second dose 14 days before traveling? |

@Xpress101, you said it all...your addition to my points is on point. And below I would like to go even further on my points to agree with @Xpresw101 additions: People must stop using agents for permit in SA. The only thing they charge you for is the information about the visa that you don't understand. That is why I agree with @Xpress101 when he said "get informed" . Agents will just collect your money and give you fake documents, if you lucky that you get the visa first time, you would definitely have a problem when you want to renew the permit. Agents also submit normal, any agents that use connection inside for permits, know that even in the future after you get citizenship, home Affair would still come for you and cancel your permit and you start all over again and even forfeit your properties. (Ask Bushiri and Guptas what happen to their citizenships) and many others who had fall victems. People must stop coming to SA as a visitor to stay, it would hurt you.....unless you want to come and enjoy yourself and see and experience the beauty of South Africa (South Africa is beautiful....go to Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Grahams Town, Port Alfred, Sun City, Bloemfontein, the lists go on...) Don't come to SA with the hope to marrier SA woman. You would put yourself in everlasting bondage. Only few escape this. Many of Nigerians are in a big bondage now here that they don't know how to get out. Many had been killed by their women because of money they hit. Home Affair has tightened the process of of getting accompany spouse and even SA women now wiser and know you don't love them, only use them for paper. I know of a Nigerian man, he is in a big problem now because his woman went behind him to home Affair that she didn't love the man again, home Affair cancel his permit....he was declared illegal and now to do another permit is a problem...go back isna problem, go forward is a problem, what do you say about such case after he said he had spent 18 years in SA? South Africa is beautiful, and even though unemployment rate is high, but the country is still better than Nigeria 100%. Living a good life here starts with coming in with the right visa (Study visa or Critical Skills Visa), believe and have faith in God, be born again actually, for with God all things are possible. And if you decide later to relocate to another much better county than SA, it would be much easier for you. xpress101: Guys
What I will just add to what my brother LEZY has offered as a sincere and concerned Nigeria is this:
1. Verify all documents from your spouse, contact and other source here in South Africa, if they are using genuine documents or their visa is not gotten fraudulently, because that is what they will use to decide your application and you have exposed the person, so in his next application, he might have problem.
2. Agents almost put me in trouble.....I wanted to apply with my original documents back in 2016 and they said my statement and sponsor's documents are not strong enough. Bro I buy in oooo and I paid and got those fake documents (almost 80-100k) but I was restless. At the end I discarded the fake documents and submit my application with my original documents in good faith. Whatever happens, to God be the glory! But at the end, God honoured my faith and my sincerity has helped me even with my renewal (over 3 times now) in South Africa. Agent don't care about you and your future. All they want is the money - your 10 - 15 years will be in shambles. Even to be legal here ehn with fake documents is 5% chance. Their women are now wiser, so don't think that as an option at all.
3. Save and wait for opportunities to apply.
4. Know and get the right documents for each application. Contact people in South Africa, get information from agents (verify these information), VFS and south Africa embassy.
5. Create time for your application. If possible, do it yourself
6. Get your documents yourself (you spend less - agents only spend 30% - 50% of the money you are paying them)
7. Keep yourself informed
8. Pray, (if you are a Christian, tie your application to a seed)
THESE APPLY TO ALL COUNTRIES |

Hi there, Yes, there are many ways to get to SA, but be very very careful of how you get to SA because how you get to SA will determine your next phase of life. Never alter your life by being stuck in one place in SA, where you cannot move forward or go backward. Many foreigners are here without papers and hence they could not do proper job or move forward as planned. If you enter SA with visiting visa, you cannot do any permit that will make you work, unless you marry SA woman. If you enter SA through neighboring countries without any visa, you cannot do any visa because Home Affair wants to see your existing residence visa. If you are in SA with expired visa, you cannot do any visa, even you cannot get Form20. So, my advise for you is to do whatever it takes to get proper visa from Nigeria and enter through airport....if you have critical skill qualification, apply for critical skill to come here and the sky is limit for you. This is my one cent advise. Cloud700: South Africa consular is corrupt. There are 3 ways of getting into South Africa. There is one organized by an airline. You don’t need visa for that but I won’t disclose it here. SA don’t need your documents, just pay your way and make things easier for you. Na wetin I Dey tell Just wise be that wey Dey do like say he knows everything about traveling. I bet he does not know there are different ways to get to SA |
