No visa at all.

Afolavid:
Are you sure about the bolded.? I never knew! Is it visa on arrival or they don't need visa at all.?

lol. This made me laugh

Afolavid:
I remember hitting you up on Whatsapp, months ago when we're both in naija, you didn't respond. Well, I'm also in London, Ontario. I just sent you a DM.

Hit me up for Brampton fully furnished apartment short let . Available from August 31st.

richie3384:
Hi, do you have an apartment preferably in Brampton for this July or August?

If she didn't make use of public funds for her treatment, you are good to go.

Enjoymentman:
Shout out to everyone doing helpful contributions here ��

Please I hope someone can give me meaningful advise too

I am going for an US appointment next week and I am getting about some things . I lost my my mother few months ago and the burial was scheduled to take place last Friday in California but we tried hard to get emergency appointment which was denied 2 times but was later approved after I paid the 3rd visa fee and also changed my location to abuja .

The interview date me and my siblings got was a date after the burial so I don’t know if the letter from the funeral home inviting us for the burial of our mother can still count . I plan to tell them that I want to go and visit my mothers grave in order to have a closure and also attend the celebration of life which is scheduled to take place in September. I don’t know if they can still issue the visa since the burial has been done . My mother was only in US for visit and lockdown happened and few months later we found she had cancer so she couldn’t travel again till she died there .

I don’t even have plans of staying back in the US, what documents do I need to show them and what kind of questions should I be expecting from them.

I wondering if I should fill a new DS160 form and update it since the dates have changed or should I stick the the old form which had July 1st as expected time to travel ?

This was not a group application but in the form they asked if there are people I am traveling with and I wrote my siblings name , I wondering if this will affect my application negatively so they don’t think we won’t come back. One of my siblings is working in a government firm and will sponsor himself while my sister just finished Waec and my friend will act as her sponsor. I don’t know if that will make sense

I reserved a hotel through a 3rd party called booking.com , I don’t know if it is fine to use reservation from such site for US visas , for my sister we got a letter from a friend in US as a where she will be staying, we don’t know if we should reserve a hotel room for her too than saying that she will stay with someone ?

Please I need possible answers and advises ��

Yes in Brampton, Ontario. You can DM

Jenny255:
Toronto to be precise.

Do you know or have an accommodation for rent? Whether Short term or Long term.

If your location is Ontario DM me.

Jenny255:
Hello everyone,

Please how can someone pay for Air bnb while still in Nigeria?

The site is asking for payments with debit/credit card and I assume that’s USD

What’s an alternate option pls?

How do you pay the VAC cost?

methodman:
Sorry for the late response. The address is online though.

Canada Visa Application Centre
Baptist Convention House, Abelemkpe St, Accra, Ghana +233 30 275 0200. I sent it through DHL on Admiralty way and was charged 38,000.

The 38,000 is for sending through DHL. Separate from 508 cedis paid for visa and for them to return it

Yeah. On CEAC site it's been refused since February and remained so then moved to AP and then issued.
I think they are really doing a lot of screening now as many Nigerians are not coming back.

Dampops:
I remember you were asked to come for physical interview after submitting via IW in late February. Didn't know you were put on AP after the interview. Thank God it ended well...

How long does DHL keep your passport for? My U.S visa was approved after 4 months in AP. I think my issue was with the number of countries i have been to and the Residence Permits i have had and abandoned. They had me fill out a form with all my travel history, all passports held and my source of income for the travels. No be small thing. This would have been my 1st ever visa reusal but na God big pass.

Nairobi issued the visa, it was printed and stamped in Abuja.

canforum65:
I finally got back my stamped passport yesterday.
However, I noticed the "issued at" indicated Nairobi although every other thing was accurate. I am aware they send the passports typically to Abuja to be stamped so I am surprised to see Nairobi instead of Abuja or Lagos. I applied in Nigeria I have never been to Nairobi

Is there anyone with a similar story

You mean marry nonsense? Lol. I feel you.

Allegory:
Loneliness is still better than some kind of men out there. Whether single Nigerian women in Canada want to LovePeddler or place ads, it’s still their money and their body. Let them do their business in peace or suffer their loneliness in peace. It is still better than marrying someone you don’t like or barely know.

See groove...

ednut1:
Happy Canada day. Make una come chop meat

Sorry, its taken till August 30th. Available from September 1st.

Good gesture.

However, i am wondering how you would be notarizing affidavits and documents in Nigeria when you are in Canada noting that the Affiant is supposed to swear oath in your presence.

folla:
Thank you all for your well wishes.

By the way, I am a Notary Public and have decided to give back to this community. One of the things I thought of is to notarize and certify documents (affidavits, declarations, letters of sponsorship, letters generally, deeds of gift, deeds generally, instruments, certificates generally any other documents) for members at a discounted rate (Nairaland rate).

Kindly contact me if you are interested.

It shall end in praise for us all.

You have any American Citizen child?

Summerbutterfly:
Hello everyone

I had my visa interview on the 26th of April 2022 after several attempts to get an appointment

I was asked the routine questions (purpose of travel, which I replied with for vacation, what do I do, I replied with I work as a medical doctor at a federal hospital)

At the end of the interview I was placed on administrative processing and I was sent supplemental questions to answer.

I’ve been To the United States twice in the past

And I’ve been to several countries (UK, UAE, Malaysia, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Turkey, e.t.c)

I wasn’t asked to show any document even though I went prepared

Now it has been approximately 2 months since I submitted the answers to the supplemental questions and I’ve not heard anything from the embassy.


Please has anyone gone through something like this before ? Because I heard you’re placed under administrative processing if your name has been flagged. I believe there’s no reason for my name to be flagged. And I’ve also heard the processing can take months

You have never been in the Catholic church? If not you cannot enrol your kids in a catholic school. You can however start attending one and then switch your kids later. In the meantime, you can enrol them in a public school or even a private school.

Jayzara:
Hello people. Pls is it compulsory to get a baptismal certificate in order to put my kids in a catholic elementary school? I am not a catholic so it’s been difficult getting a Catholic Church in Nigeria to baptize them.

Pls did any non catholic here get their kids into a catholic school? Pls share how you went about it please! We r going to Calgary.

Of course.

Canadahome:
Hi guys,

Please, can a couple without kids be allowed to stay in a Studio apartment?

The case is a bit convoluted. Disposing assets to finance studies is towing towards an angle of permanent migration.

I suggest you dont apply with your aunt's husband. You should stick to your stated finances.
Apply for GCMS note to know the reasoning behind the rejection.

Merciful96:
Hello Mr Frank

I was denied study permit recently and intend to reapply, my GCMS note states that " taking the applicant plan to studies into account, the documents provided in support of applicant's financial situation does not demonstrate that the funds is sufficient or available. PA provided statement that are six months with a very low closing balance. Unable to access what current state of funds is. Investment doc on file that as matured but no indication it will be use for studies. I am not satisfied PA will have assess to sufficient funds to support studies.

Weighing the factors in this application, I am not satisfied applicant will depart Canada at the end of his program".

Though it's a self sponsored, gave documents I sold my asset to finance my studies. Show proof with gift deed form mother and I used #10million naira, investment let for the application stated that I sold my asset to acquire the money. However, the money was later withdrawn third week after eligibility.

Presently, I intend to use.. my aunt husband business account as a sponsor, where I presently work together with my dad cooperative account... I need ur opinion Mr Frank on what is expected of me to make it happen (study permit).

Thanks

Klm has a flight from Accra to Amsterdam.

Milazaha:
Good day Megastu,

Please do you know if you can fly from Accra straight to Netherlands? Or, it is mandatory to come back to Nigeria before flying ?

Which side of Thomas Estate?

uniquetechng:
Na by force to live on the Island, why spend so much to live in a shared apartment with no or limited privacy ?

The feeling is always cool within 2-3 months of landing. Reality go soon set in no worry. Enjoy your stay. Your dreams are valid.

ObamaMessi:
I finally arrived in America.

Can't believe Victor Divine is in yankee.

I live in Willowbrook, Houston, Texas.

It has always been a dream since I was 10, now 19 and my dream is reality.

I will soon work my way to NY to recide in Alabama.

My dream of becoming Governor of New York, U.S Secretary of State and subsequently becoming U.S President (after we amend the constitution to make naturalized citizens eligible to run for the Presidency) is materializing.

Just a week plus here, I know the difference between a first world country and a third world shithole.

I implore all of you to work your ass off to the U.S and live that shithole to your selfish politicians.

#GodBlessAmerica!!!

You can give it a try though, you never know.

There is a fully furnished short let available in a very descent area in Brampton, you call do a month or two there while looking for a long term rental. You can message me if interested.

Immortalregis:
Good day guys. Just landed in North York as a PR. I'm currently in Airbnb till the end of the month but I was hoping to to get some tips on how to get survival jobs and accommodation. Any tips would be appreciated. Please I already know about kijiji and rentals.ca. I mean like "don't live in Ajegunle or Iloabuchi down" or "you should be looking for an apartment that has heater etc etc" and "run from ogoaja work". Any advice will be appreciated. Strictly survival jobs cos I'm already fed up of my old job type and I hope to transition into tech by January. Thanks in advance.

It's dead on arrival. Wedding is not an emergency. As a previous responder had stated, it was your choice to wait till late before applying.

Betterlife30:
Please house, I submitted a family application for my mum, dad and myself to attend my brother's wedding in Canada which will hold this month ending. Though the application was submitted late, I submitted it on June 2nd. Please, is it advisable to write the MP for faster processing and also send webform? Won't it look like being desperate and is it possible for the application to be approved before the end of the month?

AmuDimpka:
Dude he is giving you links and I am talking to you as a driver , also know that what you are driving is a V6 engine that weighs a ton! That SUV is a thank !

Don't ask clowns about cars ask those that own the car randomly! Get a first hand experience...it's an SUV and don't think you are going for some small 1.4 engine .. dude that ride is a monster and it commands respect! It's a 3.2 engine and 12 fūcking plugs but not noisy , it's quiet!

ML is a good SUV, remember you aren't buying a highlander or that one they call baby ọkụ ! You are driving a Benz !

Remember the best or nothing...of you can't handle it...abeg go buy honda Babyboy or bulldog! Spend the better of your money repairing pulled legs or go get a Toyota and be ringing the engine every 2 yrs

Dude it's left for you....Benz isn't a car for kids but it's a car that when you drive it, you would find it hard to drive Japanese ! I own one and this isn't my first Benz !

It's a good ride ! I drive it ! It has great features ! The entertainment systems awesome, great buttons , nice climate controls

Sorry I am just reading this. That ML is the best car I have owned. Extremely rugged car. I used it all through the road expansion at lekki passing through water and bush. The car served me for 5years. Sold it for 950k in 2018 and the new owner is still rocking it to date. Just ensure you buy from Europe.

I created this topic just to have a feel of the reasons people joined Nairaland how beneficial it has been.

I joined Nairaland in 2006 and i had joined just to keep abreast with happenings in Nigeria as i was abroad and there was nothing like whatsapp groups then. However, over time it became a very veritable tool for business and versatility for me. I have met people here who we later became good friends. Let me know why you joined.

Ontario is a good place. You can stay in either Brampton or Missisagua.

You can stay in an AirBnB for about 2-3 weeks while looking for n accommodation.
I have one available for shortlet in Brampton. London/Kitchener are also good places to settle, but are further from Toronto where most of the offices are.

Congratulations.

My people God has finally answered our prayers and given us PPR after several years of trying. We will be moving to ontario in August. Is there any agent I can talk to for house hunting? I am lost on this. I like GTA/ kitchener. I am open to any suggestion and help bikonu.
