Applied for one of my sister's, below is her timeline Application Date = Jan 5th, 2018 Biometric Done = Jan 6th, 2018 Refusal Date = Jan 17th, 2018 The response was super fast. She applied online in Nigeria and also did the biometric in Nigeria but her refusal came from Canadian Embassy in London, UK. I guess the embassy in UK is helping to clear some back log from Nigeria. |

Chanbaby: Has anyone with a valid American visa been denied a Canadian? Y[b]es, having an American visa does not guarantee you a Canadian Visa. As a matter of fact, In 2014, my wife was denied a Canadian Visa, she has a USA & UK visa in her passport. [/b] Paper or online application which will u recommended? No one can recommend a route, the current application timeline is 53 days. Apply via whichever route is more convenient for you. I find online route to be more convenient for me. Don 't want a situation where we will be called for biometrics or pick up and hubby will be offshore - Unfortunately, for both routes, you still need to go for Biometrics. However, you can mail your passport to CVAC once your visa is approved. If you include a return envelope, they can mail it back to you. My hubby works with salary of over 300k+ monthly but he has other streams of income I am an homemaker. Just taking care of my son b4 I start to working - Make sure your husband includes all his financial information, including but not limited to: 1) Paystub 2) 6 months account statement showing salary inflow 3) Investment Certificate 4) Any other financial information that you deem necessary. Good Luck! |

justwise: The intent is to remain in Canada as a PR, the principal applicant is applying for TRV.............. DENIED! Advise: Apply under the correct immigration class.... PR under express entry. Goodluck |

yungreezy: Hi, I apologize for the delayed response, I barely come on NL these days. Coming from someone who was in your situation, I think I am experienced to respond to your question. I am a PR and my wife lived in Nigeria, she applied and was denied visiting visa twice in Nigeria. First, in 2014 she applied to come she me she was denied. In 2015 she applied to come visit her husband in Canada, she was denied again. LOL Splitting the cost or been the sole financier of her trip would suffice. However, there is a VERY high likelihood that the visa would be denied. You have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that your fiancee will return to Nigeria after her trip. Long distance is hard, most times couple say they will go back but end up not going. If you don't know, if your fiancee comes to Canada and you guys get married here. She can remain in Canada after marriage and you can sponsor her inland whenever you guys are ready. Example: If she enters Canada in 2018 an overstays her visit visa, no matter how long she remains she is still eligible for PR if you decide to sponsor her inland. No matter how long she has been out of status for. My advise: wait until you guys are legally married then send in a PR app through Accra. If you cannot wait you can try the TRV route but I would advise that you say she is the sole financier of the trip and include all financial documents to back your claim. I am so looking forward to knowing how your app goes. Goodluck! |

Kiyana77: Good Evening Kiyana, Hope this message finds you well. My younger sister got the Canadian Visa this month (Oct) and her profile is Similar to yours. She is in her early 20's, no kids, no partner. Actually, she applied with a 10k naira current account balance and 1.9m savings account balance. The only difference is that she has me in Canada. However, i wrote on the invitation letter that the little girl is FULLY responsible for her trip to and from Canada and her expenses while in Canada because na she wan travel, every man for their self. Before i Forget, she did not include landed property because she has none. The only thing she's got as well is her job She has been refused EU visa 4 times but she has traveled to Dubai, India, South Africa and she just recently got USA visa. Your profile is very interesting because you have no ties to Canada. Just package your application like a tourist. 1) Book a hotel for about 2 weeks. In fact, don't book a hotel, rather, book a hostel because it is less expensive. Remember, we wan package you like a tourist in search out new adventures and has got little money. 2) A tourist most have a detailed itinerary, as such, pick a province of your destination a province and look up activities on TripAdvisor. E.g. In Alberta, Day 1: You will be visiting Banff & Canmore (You can pre-book for the gondola ride), Day 2: We can book for skiing with a tour company and stuff. All I said above is only a guide though. That is the way I packaged my sis with your kind of profile who happens to be a true tourist. Have a lovely day. 6 Likes |

gentleiphy: Reason for the email to Accra is that I see no reason why a mere TRV would take 99 days. They talk about first come first serve but I am not sure that its a true statement because some people who applied a couple of weeks after her had already gotten a response from the VO. As such, as a customer, I am disappointed at their level of service and processing timeline. |

I am PR of Canada, I invited my younger sister. Her TRV was approved today at 7am Nigerian time. Hope this helps someone. The documents listed below are all she included, nothing more, nothing less. Profile Online Application Sent = June 14th, 2017 Bio-metrics Done = June 16th, 2017 Passport Request = September 26, 2017 Applicant Age = 25yrs Applicant Marital Status = Single Visa's on Passport prior to application = USA, India, South Africa & Dubai. Visa denials prior to application = Denied Schenghen Visa 4 times. This was discussed on the application form Documents Submitted 1) Employment letter from Company (Worked same company for 4yrs) 2) Paystub for 6months (Monthly salary of 190,000 naira) 3) Current Account statement for 6 months (Balance of 10,000 naira. I submitted this sothat the VO can see the salary inflow) 4) Savings account statement (Balance of 1.9m naira) 5) Letter of invitation from me (I told the Visa Officer that she will be passing through America before coming to Canada and she will be solely responsible for her expenses) 6) Copy of my PR Card 7) Detailed itinerary discussing where I plan on taking her to when she arrives. I also booked hotel accommodation in 2 of the resorts we plan on visiting. I only sent one application status/update email to lagos embassy and they responded that they don't handle visa and advised that I contact Accra. In annoyance, I sent an email to Accra, with the title: "Disappointed Client- Ridiculous" and cc'd Minister Hussen Ahmed (Honorable Mister of IRCC) - The email was sent on Friday Sept 22. Hope the timeline helps someone. Good luck guys. 5 Likes |

You can easily get a banking job here but you would need so write some exams to enable you sell investments job market is pretty stiff over here at the moment, be prepared to struggle for a couple of years. Stop asking for advise on here, just go with what your mind tells you to do. Anywayz, as a dude starting up in a branch as a financial service rep they pay like $45k before Gst. You can earn more if you go into commercial banking. As an intern I made $51,500 at a bank handling small business customers. From marketing in naija to marketing here, lol.

eezeribe: The pay of these officers are appalling to say the least. I've always said that the government should make the starting salary for police officers 150k/month. This way, 20naira hustling will reduce. Secondly, we need state police. I don't know how our country has been managing without one. Third, we need police call centre, people must be tired of calling DPO, I no even get DPO #, if I'm robbed I don't even know who to call.

Reginleit: Honey, my question would be, how much is the lady earning? If it's 100k then they've got a household income of 200k. It's high time Nigerian women start talking about household income rather than only looking at what a man can bring to the table.. Anywayz, 100k would be extremely tough in lagos.

Good day Guys, It been a minute since i last logged in. Returned from Denver yesterday after a 9 days trip to usher in my spouse to the USofA. Omo men, you guys are probably used to visa interview transcript and departure transcript. Let me start something new, transcript from a sponsor, lol. Jehovah, America is super pricey and they only care about your money. Advise to people in naija, I beg if your sponsor no stand well I BEG no leave naija. If money no too dey i beg go Canada cos the place is cheaper and you can work off campus for 20hours as a student. I was told by the international student office at University of Denver that for thr first year one can only work on campus, to get campus job sef no easy. My forecast was that my woman would get a gig on or off campus, little did i know that America no be as them dey take talk am. Eh, so this is why VO's put so much emphasis on who is sponsoring you. Anyways, my journey started in Calgary, Canada which is a 2hrs 30mins flight to Denver. Jesus, biko see expenses below: Return ticket to Denver = $586 Rent= $900/month, paid 2 months = $1800 (1 bedroom apartment close to bus station and grocery store. Most importantly, very close to Wing Stop, lol) Cable & Internet- 150mbps (Comcast) = $99.99/month + $100 deposit since we didn't have SSN= $199.99 Power= Got this setup but expecting first bill in the mail in Sept. forecast $40/month Security Deposit = $200 They had to do background check before signing the lease= $100 for the both of us (Never heard of this in Canada) Stayed in Hotel on the first day = $135 + $12 parking + GST Wifey registered for 3 courses which cost = $7500 ($2500 per course) Health Insurance= $2660 for one year Car rental= $56/day for 9 days, used EZ Rental = $504 + GST House furnishing, student style which includes couch, tv, bed frame, mattrass, etc = $1800 Walmart shopping which includes grocery, pillow case, microwave etc = $386 Total expenses for the 9 day welcome trip cost roughly $15k Biko, ejo, please in any other language wey people understand, after this experience e be like say Canada come make better sense for hustling students oh. I never even land I met a Nigerian girl pleading with my wife to stay in her apartment because she has no money and life is kinda tough for her in yankee. Wetin concern me, I agreed since I will barely live in the apartment. To people still in naija, I beg discuss well with your sponsor before leaving naija, America wey i see no easy at all. At the end, its worth waiting 5 weeks for that Canada visa oh. lol. This is not meant to scare anyone, I am just sharing my experience. Make i go back to my job sothat I can generate more money for American government to chop. Stay blessed guys 23 Likes 3 Shares |
