100 million. If it was a US passport, I will take the US passport but UK passport is useless.

What a statement! You said a UK passport is useless? How?

From little knowledge IRCC doesn't look at the closing balance..they always try to look more on the inflow and outflow of money and the source especially if the account is accessible to the said owner! I know of a family friend that uses a closing balance of #2.5m in 2022 and he was granted visa

2.5 million naira in 2022 was a good for visa applications. The official exchange then was around 335 naira to CAD$1.

The 2.5 million naira was about CAD$7500 then in year 2022.

Today the value of naira is nothing to talk about. As of today, that same 2.5 million naira is less than CAD$2700

Fellow Nairalanders,

Kindly assist with the list of documents that I will need to take to Abuja VFS for Biometric enrollment.
1) Student Visa
2) Visiting Visa.

Thanks for all your support

Why can’t we just take our time and read on our own?

The information you’re looking for is clearly stated on the 2nd page of the “Biometrics collection/instruction letter” you have with you.

I don’t even think you know the type of visa you applied for because you were asking for both student and visitor visas.

Anyway, one biometric will cover both applications.

Go with your:

- Travel passport and
- The biometrics instructions letter

Good evening house
My friend and his wife did biometric October 27 their visa was refused on the 25th march they were going for honeymoon because their wedding was last year their POF is 32m for 10days they attached some documents and pictures of the wedding and family, here is a copy of the refused letter. What do you guys think?

Their bank statements had a balance of 32 million naira (about CAD$ 33000), but their applications were still refused.

This is serious.

Anyway, the way visa applications are being packaged matters too.

Kindly note that not every student do 20hrs job.... They have their usual way of bypassing the law as a Nigerian.. 30-40hrs per week

Go read @zealoy original post. He said his brother paid off £25,000 while working 20 hours per week as a student.

I know some students do under-the-table jobs too, but my comment was based on his post that his brother was able to pay off £25,000 in 2 years while working 20 hours a week.

This is a country where most full-timers are struggling to make just £25000 to £30000 per year. Just go to a store like ASDA or Lidi and find out how much their hourly wage is for entry-level associates.

I have been around for a few minutes, and I know what is going on.

It's just luck and grace Bro, I applied with 1.8M I was still issued visa. Am beginning to wonder if sufficient POF really matters.


You’re absolutely right about that. It’s all about luck and how well you packaged your application.

The POF matters too.

Also, I want you to remember that the official exchange rate when you submitted your application in August 2022 was N450 to $1, and tickets prices were a bit fair then.

I go accept the UK passport, my kid bro hustled and paid d £25k pounds tuition fees morethan #50M naira in less than 2yrs as a student with 20hrs weekly working time, imagine working full time with my UK passport i can make that #100M in less than a year in d UK

I am not disputing your claim that your brother paid off £25k in less than 2 years while working 20 hours per week.

Most jobs that are available are mostly £9 to £12 jobs. I don’t know how your brother able to payoff £25k in less than 2 years while working 20 hours per week.

Let us even assumed that your brother were making £15 per hour then.

In a year: £15 x 20 hours x 52 weeks = £15600

For 2 years: £15600 x 2 = £31200

You still have to factor in the income tax. He will be taxed on any money he made above £12570.

31200 - 12570 = 18630

18630 x 20% =£3726 will be his tax.

31200 - 3726 = £27474

If he was making £15 an hour then, his income less tax was £27474.

So how will he be able to payoff £25000 in less than 2 years?

Their own question is more confusing than that of UK. UK will ask how much is available for your trip. This I understand includes flight, accommodation, feeding, transport etc.

But canada asks how much is available for your stay. I assume this means how much will you spend on accommodation, feeding, transport and shopping. Flight not included.

I put 3k in my application for 10 day, even though i meant 3k USD.I hope it does not become a problem. Though I currently have UK visa.

I don't know if I have to use a Web form to explain this.

If I were you I will write out a letter to explain everything, and then upload the letter and the UK visa through webform.

Thank you and 3175 cad okay for 10 days trip ?


Make things easy for yourself. You can put CAD$5000 - CAD$6000 for the visa application sake. You don’t want these guys to get you for insufficient fund.

Accommodations are generally expensive in Canada. The hotel alone might cost you more than US$800 for the 10 days.

3175 okay ?


CAD$ 3175 is about US$ 2340 as of today. That might be okay for a week vacation, if you can get a cheaper plane ticket.

But that Amount will not be okay for a 3-week vacation in Canada.


Your budget will depend on many factors, like
- The cost of the ticket
- cost of hotel accommodation
- Feeding
- The number of days you intend to spend.
- Other expenses.

Yes please

CAD$ 2175 is way too small to cover the cost of
- Round-trip tickets
- Hotel accommodation
- Feedings
- Other traveling expenses

The CAD$ 2175 is equivalent of $1600, and the cost of the ticket alone will range from US$ 1100 to $1500.

How are you going to pay for hotel accommodation and feeding?

Try to increase that money.

CoronaVirusPro:


Let me tell you the truth! Many are stuck.

The fear of returning without nothing to show for it.
It’s always funny to me when people say “ COME BACK HOME”

I pray you never be in those shoes. It’s almost point of no return.

The truth I have shared with you.

Thank you for that prayer. 

A lot of people are living here in Nigeria that can't even show anything for it, and the same thing is happening to some people in those advanced countries too.

It's everywhere, but the situation here in Nigeria is pathetic. Here you see a 40-year-old man still waiting for his mom before he can eat.

It’s tough everywhere, and the truth must be told. Nigerians need to change this mentality that everyone who lives abroad is definitely rich.

Living abroad doesn’t make one rich, but rather you will have access to the basic amenities that only the rich in Nigeria have access to.

We always like to complain when things don't go our way. Gatwick is private business property, and they set operating policies for all airlines using that same airport.

If £2 million is the initial deposit to operate through that airport, then I don't see any reason why they should bend their policy for a Nigerian chief or his business.

BA and Virgin Atlantic don't have anything to do with this.

Anyway, I commend him for adding this London route to his airline flying operations.
