Thank you very much @ NothingDoMe and every other persons that contributed to my enquiry. My biometric is still valid
makano:
Yes u have to pay for another Biometrics since u did the last one in 2016.. The one u did in 2016 is not qualified to be valid for 10 years.. The 10 years stuff started from July 2018... Please be informed, and ignore all posts telling u not to pay for another Biometrics.. You can go to the CIC website to get more info on this subject... Peace
We've given him the link to check and he has confirmed that his biometrics is valid.

The 10-year biometric validity will be applied retrospectively to applicants to the Temporary Resident Biometric Program (TRBP) who provided their biometric information during or after May 2013:

We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you��. Please what does it meanhuhhuhhuh And why am confused is that I want to use my passport for medical application in India and wouldnt know if they will call me when my passport has been sent to India for medical visa. I have started my application already medical visa and have paid for application but was asked to bring one document since last month but have not gone back because of the canada application. Please house advise me... Am so confused������

Countries show that they care about the welfare and safety of their citizens through different ways.

The FG did not warn Nigerians against travelling to the US but they warned Nigerians against participating in the Revolution Now protest.

Actually i reapplied for a B2 since the last VO told me to do so when i want to deliver, but we selected dropbox instead of face to face interview. That was the same time dropbox was cancelled so we were stuck on either applying a third time or just notifying the embassy jeje. It was a gamble because they could have said i should use the visa as it was or just cancel it. And its not a change of intent letter, we were asking on what to do since we had used the visa for its initial purpose. Change of intent will mean we had concluded on using the current visa.
Congrats. I remember when you battled to take this decision and I am happy you did the right thing and I am so psyched it paid off.

I must state that even if it didn't pay off, it still wouldn't make it the wrong decision. In these our times, we judge right from wrong with positive or negative outcomes.

Something sweet, wow! Congratulations to them.... The US addie stuff was up sometime last year I believe, and almost exhaustively discussed. Those on missionary journeys that are advised to read up when they ask questions can actually have that/such as added knowledge if they did as advised instead of getting worked up. This VO was quite liberal with info if one should attempt to gauge, commendations to him.... A key question I may want to ask is, what was the low birthing bill, and maybe the facility used too?
Yes. It was less than 10k. Sugarland.

You are right about the knowledge available on this platform. I read a transcript here where the VO commended the lady for using her Nigerian address. He said that was the right thing to do. I've also read transcripts here where the VO requested for the birth certificate.
Travel › Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by NothingDoMe:
A friend was at the embassy to get a B2 visa for birthing. This is their third missionary journey. This was their second attempt to get this visa.

At the first refusal he debated the low bills with the VO. Said he paid what he was billed. The VO then requested to see the kids birth certificate but they didn't go with it and they were denied.

When he talked about it I pointed out to him that the problem was that he used an American address instead of their Nigerian one in the birth certificates but he didnt take it serious.

At their second attempt, the VO repeated the same you are not qualified at this time...you can find the reason in this paper....However he didnt want to hear that line. cheesy. He asked her to tell them the real reason and she said the birth certificate carries a US address and hospitals use that to defraud the government etc.

After series of talks he then asked the VO if they were banned for life. Does this mean that they will never go to the US because of this? The VO said no. He then asked her when they will be eligible to go to the US since she said that they are not eligible now.

He further explained that the hospital didn't assist him to fill the birth documents. He went to the county and filled the forms. He insisted that the county clerk said the american address was okay.

The VO exited twice during the interview. She approved their visa when she returned the second time. grin

Can the company fix another date for the training? You could upload that into the case enquiry web form.

Hi all,

my husband andAI are well traveled (over 16 countries) with good jobs, we also have valid usa and uk visa

My question is should we submit individual applications or together?

I ask because the family checklist gives only one person the chance to submit sufficient documents?

Is this ok?

Thanks for your response
You can select that you also depend on someone for financial support. This will bring out a new section for him to upload his documents.

Why are people making the dumping ground statement?

It is not like Nigerians can afford brand new cars. Is this not the country where people buy 2003 cars and call it "brand new"?

There will always be market (demand) for fairly used things. If they are clean title cars, we are good to go. This is me addressing the "dumping ground" talk.

I doubt the almighty pedantic IRCC will approve an application when they are yet to verify all submitted documents. I think the only verification they might conduct will be on the visas in the passport since that is the 1st time they are seeing the passport physically.
They are not almighty. The only almighty is God. Anything run or created by humans will inevitably have errors. It is normal for people to try to circumvent a system and sometimes they succeed despite the checks and balances.

There was a couple that had their visa approved in the US birth thread. They later got a mail a few days later that they should return for interview and were refused. My personal opinion was that they applied to US first and while waiting for the interview they applied to the UK. Then before UK gave decision they applied online to Canada. This way they can circumvent declaring refusals. Canada refused but the UK granted. The US visa officer asked her about the UK visa but not about the Canada refusal because it didn't appear on the DS-160. But finally the biometric checks revealed it later on. This is just an example of circumvention.

but they should have done there background check before they approve PPR why after request
I am not sure why. Maybe we have learnt how to fly without perching and they've learnt how to shot without aiming.

What I am sure of is secondary verification after passport request.

I am very very serious. One of the people that we believe was affected was very popular member of the student section. He got an original passport request and after a month he mailed them and they said his application is still on active review. Since then we've not heard from him.

Meanwhile others wrote that they got mails from the embassy on fraudulent bank statements after receiving a passport request:

I have not gotten any message. I'm just in limbo. Outside the paper I will use to collect my passport they gave me at the counter, I have not received any email.
I saw on the student thread that the embassy does final verification after a passport request. I saw one or two people that were refused after an original passport request because they used fraudulent bank statement.

Hi, I also submitted my second application 24th June( Online) after getting rejected due to" Family ties in home & canada" , got email confirmation same day & got an email notiification saying my profile was updated 25th June but nothing was changed (Ghost mail). Since then till now my eligibility review is yet to be started . it has been 33 Days since submission and nothing yet, Online for nigeria says it takes 45days so lets see if that applies (12 days to go)
Just came across your posts. It is possible that they linked you to your to fiancee's family in canada. However let's see how it goes.

Eligibility review not started doesn't mean your application isn't being processed. Some had eligibility review briefly before the decision.

VO: (looks through our passports and asked DW when she got to her UK visa page) why havent you been to the UK Ma'am ?
DW: I just got the visa last month (I renewed mine and DW got 2years as her first in May)
You just got a UK visa in the Month of May and a decision from Canada in the same month. Ironically the visa office responsible for handling your Canadian Visa application was in London. I don't think that was a coincidence.


VO: Have you recently been denied a visa to another country
Me: April/May
VO: So did you re-apply? I mean to Canada
Me: Yes ,this time for only my wife but no response yet
VO: Why? why not you too
Me: Because I really don't need to be there
DW: (DW cuts in) and he will also be on training that period .
Now you stated that this trip isn't important to you and you sacrificed your reapplication to give her a better chance. This sacrifice did not go unnoticed by the VO. She was probably wondering why you want your wife to "desperately" see her friend in Canada when there are more important matters on ground like having a baby.

Applying four times within the same period, to three countries out of the Five Country Conference, may have caused them to doubt your purpose of visit.
