Oh I see why now. Indeed, knowledge is power. We keep learning.
I am doing great my brother. Happy new year!

Please house I have an important question please I was denied a US visa and Canada is my second option but I have a some year gap in my studies ....Please when filing for my Canada visa my questions are
1) do they just know I have been denied a US visa or I have to mention it

They will find out regardless of either scenarios.

2) do I state what I have been doing in my year gap or they can see it since US and Canada share the same data base.

You have to account for any long gap in your personal history within the last 10 years or so

3) the data base shared between US and Canada what does it show about me

No one can be certain but please ensure your details match and your application is credible.
Thanks please house help so I don’t make mistakes in my new application

I want to acquire my bachelor degree

Please how can i get canada visa with a low IELTs test score

salford:
wow... $40 to $50 is cheap for electricity. The last time I paid that out here in the west was back in Calgary, 2014. Standard monthly charge before usage charge of electricity is like $25 bucks here in Sask. Alberta would likely be similar too. Then when family size increases, it goes up too.

Thanks for the reply. That is the most probable explanation to the outcome. But I still don't understand why so many of the VO's decisions are left to "discretion". Anyways, what do I know!

Hello Seniors in the house. Please to announce I will be joining you all soon as PPR has been given.
Please I have a question, is it better to get a rented apartment with all utilities included or without utilities so I can pay directly for it? Utilities as I have seen online such as hydro, water, heater and parking for 2.
Please advice. Thank you.

How come you don’t know if it was granted on denied? Didn’t you get BVL then an email notifying you whether you were granted or not?

TOMSY:
Hello everyone. Please I have a question.

I know in Nigeria, there is usually an age restriction of 24-26 years, for entry level position.

Is there age discrimination in Canada for a 30 year old who has done her PhD and no work experience?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

Please does anyone know the rationale behind visitors visa validity? I know it is usually till the duration of passport but I have heard of persons there were issued for just one (1) year despite having longer validity in their passports. Does this have to do with travel history? Has someone with no travel history been issued more than one (1) year? Does it have to do with amount of funding available to the applicant?

Your opinions will be highly appreciated!!!

Application was for my mum from Chicago. She is on visit in the US.
I am going for birthing so she applied for visit visa to ff me.

online submission- November 10
bio metrics- November 11
not one single update and the application is normally supposed to take 14 days when applying from within the US but i suspect that as per naija passport her application was treated in London instead of LA or NY.

January 8- BVL
January 8- few minutes after BVL Original Passport Request

Documents submitted:
Bank statement for her. N580k because she had already left Nigeria and the only statement she could get was form the bank she had online banking with. The main account where her pension/ business proceeds go into we were not able to get so we were worried it would be denied.
All her visa pages- travel history Dubai, Ghana, Israel, UK and US.
Her most recent US entry stamp.
We screenshot itinerary on Expedia but did not pay and it did not have her name. It only had dates of travel and how much it would cost
Booked Sheraton Toronto online for 3 months stay but did not pay.
Wrote a very detailed letter of explanation and explained that it was a last minute decision to travel hence she was not able to obtain her primary bank account statement
Retirement Letter
Pension statement
Annuity Card
My visa page and travel history.
My dads visa page and travel history
evidence of landed documents of where my parents live in Nigeria being in their name
Most Importantly my marriage certificate as my name has now changed.

It was after we submitted that i realized i should have added my own personal bank statement and acted as her sponsor. So we just gave up and hoped that they would request for more information or decline the application and then we would reapply.

All in all i thank God. I believe there is a huge importance placed on travel history and honesty. Funds is great to have but the lack of evidence of it will not solely make them decline an application

Hello house. Please how long does it take for HR personnel to get back to applicants especially in January? Applied to a lot of roles in December but nothing yet and I'm being to freak out.

HonWise:
Hello Markab,

It all depends on the type of application you made and got approval for, the 2weeks is an average time for passport transmission from you to VFS and back, but lately applicants are taking up to 3/4weeks to get passport back, will advice you raise webform or send emails of urgency explaining the need for your passport if after 2weeks you don't get it.


I hope your case will be different and you gets it back asap.

Congratulations on your PPR

JustMellow:
Hello Markab,

At this moment, you have to be patient and calm. Your case may be different from others and you may have your PP sent back to you in no time. If your financial documents are staightforward with no discrepancies, the secondary verification may go very fast even within the 2wks marks.

However, if the worst comes to play, you can easily defer your admission to the next possible intake which gives you ample time to prepare for your trip.

BTW do well to share your application and submitted documents timeline

All the best

remaj:
Good afternoon everyone

Eraytee:

Alberta...my sister also went to Western and it has really helped get to where she is today in her career.

Vanhooijdonk:
She made the right choice in going to Western Unversity, their graduates are some of the most successful in the country in their various fields.

Hi Everyone, I was assigned any group A Computer Exam by the Professional Engineering body evaluating my degree in Canada for professional designation. My goal is to take the Electronics Exam which is the 17-Comp-A1 organised by PEO. I had the opportunity of taking any A exam but I was hoping to go for this with the notion that I might have someone taking similar exam. Is there anyone in the house who is preparing for their Assigned technical Exam by the Professional Engineering designation that might want to link up or if there is anyone taking this specific exam who might want to be a study partner or link up on this group to enable us share materials, knowledge and move forward together. PEO organizes the Exams on behalf of all provinces and the next batch of exams is in April. Help from Seniors or people also who have gone this route will be appreciated.
PS: It's been over 10 years since I have done Electronics as a course in school so I am very rusty and i am looking for all the help I can get.

Thanks for the responses. My brother paid for courier finally. It's a waiting game now.
Compliments of the season to everyone.

Hi everyone,

My dad's application was approved today. Applied on the 15th of October, Biometrics done 23rd October. Biometrics Validity letter update 19th of Dec (don't understand the purpose of this letter), Passport request letter received 20th Dec. I thank God. It was silence all through, and they stuck to the 64 days timeline. E be like say dem remain say Christmas na next week and they rushed it out.

So, for those that have used VFS Lagos, I know that someone can submit the passport for him, but can someone collect on his behalf. He is not in Lagos and I don't want him spending flight money to go and collect the passport. The VFS site states that someone can collect for him but I have heard from people that they don't allow it. Can someone with experience confirm please? Also, where can I download the VFS Consent form? I can't find it anywhere on their site.

Thanks.
