Please I need your help and suggestions
I want to travel to Canada as a visitor
And I don't have any invitation I just want to go there and spend quality time.
I have enough fund to fund my trip.
Will my visa be deny because I don't have any invitation?

Invitation letter is not a must. Book hotel and apply as a tourist who is going on vacation.

Just say because of your pocket. When you’re loaded, women will do whatever you ask them to do

I want to assure you that I am providing 100% accurate information, whether you choose to believe it or not, that does not alter the facts. I have lived long enough in Canada to see many situation, and the idea that your friend paid $5,000 for a job seems suspicious. It is not customary to pay for job in Canada, and with the current demand for Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA), if someone tells you they are being sold for $5,000, then that smaller price alone is a bigger red flag but under normal situation You should not need to pay anyone for a job, and it's important that we convey the truth to our community. Some nigerians will arrive in Canada on visit visa and claim asylum to receive a work permit, but then falsely tell their friends back home that they changed their status to a work permit. Unfortunately, 98% of nigerian who come to Canada on visit visa hoping to obtain an LMIA and switch to a work permit either get scammed or end up claiming asylum ..with the current job situation in canada if any company throw advert for 20 health care job ,l can assure you that they will see over 100 applicant with full work permit tomorrow at their office doorstep so i leave the gambling to you to accept the fact or see it as discouragement on your lmia chase as others do and later get stranded on the asylum route.

You have said it all, but our people don't like the truth.

he's already working in a health care company and he didn't pay more than 5k$,

Some of you here like discouraging people

Point out in my post where I discouraged you. I said make sure you’re in the right hands.

Also, since you’re very sure that the information your friend gave you is legit, then, why were you seeking other people’s opinions.

Very easy to tell when a Simp is talking

NO THEY ARE NOT DOING US A FAVOUR.


AIR PEACE FLY TO CHINA, AND CAN FLY TO DUBAI EASILY.

How many fleet of airplanes does Air Peace have to start doing this?

BarrElChapo:
Are they doing us a favour ? 🤔

Yes, they are.

Since most international airlines are currently having trouble moving their money out of the country due to a lack of dollars, any foreign airlines that do business with us are currently doing us a great favor.

lakeside3020:




Some of us knew that a lot of you guyz that uses agent have already gotten a negative response but the agent will not let you people to know

The IRCC are attending to November/December right now

Yes, agents will make sure they get most of their money before revealing the heartbreaking news.

The worst part is that the money paid is not refundable.

mvphenryeto5:


The guy said there are immigration lawyers in Canada that does that with a fee

I am not disputing that, but some of the so-called immigration lawyers are out there just to scam innocent people who are eagerly looking for work permits.

Some of them are charging over $25k, and they don't even have any legitimate LMIA job offers.

My friend makes sure you're in the right hands and thinks twice before you do it.

mvphenryeto5:


You mean you won't be allowed to work when you get the work permit with visit visa?

You can work if you’ve work permit. But how to get the work permit is the main issue.

Ok mama.

helinues:
Na this same SA some people are saying get economic future pass Nigeria.

I laugh in Mandarin

It’s true that their economy is way better than that of Nigeria, and this part of the reasons our youth are relocating there to make ends meet.

SA minimum wage per month is over 300k naira compared to our 30k per month.

Blessedsteph:
I have gotten it! Myself and my kids!
The way you all argue about things and insist on it as if you know it all.

No argument bro

Zoey1:
Is your Nairaland group the only Schengen group worldwide?
Even when some people have been encouraging that France is the place to get it easy haven’t so people been advising people to shun France due to rejection rate?
I’m not here to convince anyone.
I simply asked for clarity.

Don’t deviate from the point. We are talking about those applications submitted here in Naija, not from other parts of the world.

Bro, I am not arguing with you on this matter, and that was the reason I said I will take your word for it.

Zoey1:
The same way they have been giving people who had gotten 1yr,2years before .
Now getting 6months at French, Polish and Spanish embassies is the same way they give first timers 1year.
And I just saw another today.

You saw another one today! This is going on, and no one from our Nairaland family has gotten it yet or come out to confirm it.

Anyway, I will take your word for it.

Ok, good to hear that bro

Zoey1:
I have seen several cases that defy this with France between April - May 2024.
I know this is supposed to be the norm.
People who asked for less than 2weeks, first ever scheghen, first ever travel history and got 1year.
About 4/5 people.

The procedure for getting 1 or the 3 year shengen visa is as @ashirioluwa pointed out in her comment. That is just the rule, and you can read this on the shengen visa information manual.

I’m not saying that you’re lying, but I have not seen anyone who gets a 1-year for his or her first Shengen visa application.

I know those with extensive travel history do get 3-month visa for their first shengen visa applications, not one year.

My first Schengen visa was issued for one month while that of my partner was 2-week visa.

Today, we both have 3-year visas.

I am filling out visitor visa applications for a mother and daughter. The estimated travel expenses for the two of them, including tickets and hotel, are about $2000. They are going for 7 days.
 
Please, how do I answer these questions for the daughter, who is less than 4 years old?

1. How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK? I don’t know how to answer this. Should I put the plane ticket alone or what? I estimate the plane ticket for the daughter to be $550.

2. What is the total amount you spend each month? Should I put zero for her.

Cashmadam:


Fill one form for each person. One form per person.

You can use same email address. I did that for years when my children were minors.

You need to book the same date and time for biometrics - for the monther and child.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Thank you

Good morning, guys! Please, I need information on how to apply for a UK visitor visa for an adult and her 3-year-old child.

How do I apply for both applications together, if possible?
 
If not, can I use the same email address for both applications?

The applications are for a mother and her daughter.

omega2128:



Thanks for your doom and gloom response.

I guess you don’t like his or her response. This is more reason most people don’t like to comment or say the truth about the real situation on ground.

Anyway, we all wish you best of luck.

Inksun:
Good day everyone, I’ll like your input on this pls.
A lady was introduced to me by my boyfriend’s mom, the lady resides in Canada, she advised I come to Canada through the tourist route, she said her agent in Canada demanded for #2M (including BANK STATEMENT for both me and my boyfriends mom as she is the sponsor) for the tourist visa application, she said my boyfriend’s mom can be my sponsor as she will stand as my guardian, she said she stood as a guardian for her daughter friends who are twins and they have gotten their biometric request, my fear is the amount, it is outrageous and if this could be genuine.

And my boyfriend just wrote his final exams and will be having inhospitable graduation in June or July,
QUES 1: if he’s inviting me to Canada will PGWP be part of the supporting documents, he doesn’t have a job presently so I’ll be sponsoring myself and my stay in Canada

Run run, don’t do it. The lady only trying to milk you.

Look at old fools

It’s very good that he has exposed himself, therefore, the EFCC needs to do the needful.

AnonPoet:

Amidst the the ongoing EFCC saga and media onslaught against the former governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, a viral letter shows how the former Governor returned surplus funds to the world bank, to the tune of 4.6million US Dollars.

This amongst other reasons earned the former governor accolades allowing other states opportunities to benefit.

Recall the world bank had on numerous occasions awarded Kogi as number one in multiple awards for transparency and fiscal responsibility.

The question now is, if the governor was this transparent with public funds, what then must have resulted in EFCC’s pursuit and media trial, leaving out other governors who have been previously accused? The personal focus and attack on Yahaya Bello may have a political undertone and an agenda yet to he revealed.

Read the letter the World Bank wrote him below;

July 14 2021
His Excellency
Mr. Yahaya Adoza Bello
Exccutive Governor of Kogi State
Office of the Governor
Government House
Lokoja, Kogi State

You can show us letter like this or more in order to portray Mr. Bello as a good person, no problem.

Does he used government funds to pay for his children education? Let him answer the question.

There’s no way corruption can be eradicated or reduced in this country because we the citizens are the real problem. We don’t allow the authorities to do their jobs.

Ithaca:
I did my biometrics on April 9th, and just got a mail from TLS to come and pick up my travel documents today.

I have not received any other mail from UKVI (apart from the notification that my application has arrived at the decision making center).

Is this an indication that the visa has been approved?

That’s fast

Eriokanmi:
@ wonuola111. Lemme shock you with something here. Canadian visa is one of the easiest to get in the world and I'd tell you how.

If only you can sit down and patiently read and research about the type of visa you need, you'd call the bluff of those agents who don't even know as much as you do. Most of them come here to tap Information silently and boom...they've turned visa pros. They use a token out of the millions of naira paid to them to buy data, gather documents and pocket the rest and I doubt they spend up to 200k each time sef , doing all these. They'd convince you that it's automatic and make you feel you're in Canada already

Canadian visa doesn't require a face-to-face interview unlike US. Many applicants have a phobia for crowd and in-person interview. Some are afraid of facing the white. Except where necessary ( though rare) , IRCC doesn't need to see your face before adjudicating. This is where you are better off, you just sit down and interview yourself based on the documents you have and information already garnered about your type of visa. If you know your documents are short of acceptability, work on it, don't act in a hurry.

Again, unlike US Visa, your application can be decided in a matter of months. Whereas, usa visa appointment's wait time could take a year or even more. They're always filled per minutes once slots are released. Some Trv applicants may experience this too but very rare.

Canada believes so much in documentation. Get legit ones to back up your application. You can get a Canadian visa on a virgin passport if you're well prepared for it even up to 10 years if your passport is valid for 10yrs.

Travel history counts but not compulsory. Instead of dashing agents who will only dash your hope in the end that millions of naira, why not use that money to go to Kenya, Mauritius, Qatar or any other country? Enjoy your money and come back to apply with legit documents. Invest in your future travels

Lastly, one of the reasons most of you run to all these scammers called agents is proof of funds. Why not approach any of the legit companies offering this service for a token? Google is your friend. They'd run your salary account for you seamlessly for 6 months, they could act as your sponsor as well, depending on your agreement with them. I promise you'd not spend up to 1m naira on commission on interest. Make una try and get sense.

I've made up my mind I'd not comment on this agent matter again but I always feel emotional whenever I read a thing like this. I'm too busy for all that even though writing is part of my hobbies. Pleaee stop patronising agents. Any agent who's not cool with this can always hug a transformater. You guys are evil and nemesis will catch up with you someday .

Canada visas used to be one of the toughest to get for Nigerian passport holders, especially those with no travel history, until things changed recently towards the end of 2022.

In 2022 and 2023, we see that the number of those with no travel history whose visas were approved increases tremendously.

But at any rate, it’s better do it yourself than going through an agent.

donteebalo:


I guess IRCC are currently on November applicants.

Thanks for the info.

Has any applicant (with no US visa) who applied in December 2023 for a Canadian visitor visa gotten a response from the IRCC?

Farrason:


The cock has come home to roost!!

You're right, but she is not a bad girl. I believe all those posts were for clout sake.

We need to be mindful of what we say or post on social media because it might come back to haunt us.

My cousin met a guy in late 2022, and their relationship was good up until early this month. 

Her boyfriend took her to the UK and Cancun this past February, and he even proposed to her on Valentine's Day in Cancun.

I believe she was really in love with this guy, but her friends who are jealous of her and her relationship ruined everything, all because of the series of things she posted online before she met her boyfriend.

One of her friends, who was jealous of the relationship, sent my cousin's old social media posts to my cousin's boyfriend.

Some of the posts.

“I don’t give a damn about any love, and I am not going to be loyal to any man. I go where money goes”

“Don’t come here to preach love to me because that 4 that letter words is not in my dictionary”

“I don’t know why women get upset when their partners cheat on them, as for me, I don’t care if you cheat on me or not……….I am bleeping any man that can pay the price”

He called her about two weeks ago to break the bad news: "I am no longer interested in this relationship."

Now she’s down crying, and the boyfriend stop picking calls.
