Sometimes I wonder where people get these strange information.
C.B.P which stands for U.S. Customs and Border Protection only operate on the U.S soil.
When approaching the U.S air space the airline will issue you a declaration card so make sure you fill it correctly as it is a legal document.
You will met the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the official U.S port of entry (Airport) and they will take your finger print, capture your face on the camera then input your i94 record on their data base. Very simple

No please @ the boldened.

The United States federal government operates border preclearance facilities at a number of ports and airports in foreign territory. They are staffed and operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers. ... Preclearance exists at most major Canadian airports.

Hi!

Bye!

Faithyyyyy:
I just shared in the visit visa thread that i got my Canadian tourist visa approved within a month.

We are expecting our first bundle of joy within the same period and have family mostly in the US and friends in Ontario.

Overall, i had already decided US was the place since i am more familiar with the US and navigation won't be an issue.i made contacts with my hospital and sorted it out already but the bills are crazy for the cities we have family.

Most importantly i didn't want to be under undue pressure when i enter US without plan B, with all the stories and POE drama.
Thanks to this thread and wisdom, we jejely applied for Canada so we can weigh options and compare plus boost hubby's chances of his US visa after we visit Canada.

Hubby and i intend to spend a week in Canada early September (about 34 weeks in for me).i will be flying to the US earlier (to verify all my hospital things and compare bills)then i will meet him in Canada for one week so we can decide.

I may be birthing in Ontario if we find out the cost is way less than what we are getting in US($12-15k) but on this thread i have seen 8k Canadian dollars bill and less which i really like.
Our trip would be both fact finding and holiday before baby arrives.

Plus if our Canada bill is way less than US we will birth in Ontario.

Congrats on your TRV issuance.

Both countries have issues with not declaring your intentions to give birth. US has declared war against low bills and Canada is ramping up.

I dont think 12-15k is too much for birthing in the US as long as it is not a discounted package. You already declared that you are budgeting close to that for a 10 day visit to Canada.

Making up your mind on which hospital to use on the go is not a good idea. For example you would have to declare birthing at US POE and give the name of the hospital. If you decide to travel to Canada from the US you will still have to declare birthing and hospital name and contact at POE.

I am sure those bills are marked.

Look close and tell me what you see? Is Nigeria now officially a Fulani dominated country? Whatever happened to federal character & sovereignty? Is cattle rearing now our national identity?

Are they the only ones featured in the entire passport? Because the normal thing is to have different tribes there.

Blizzy9ja:
If the south rejected it and the north accepted it why then did they suspend the programme nationwide ? Was it meant for the south?

You have good brain

skdfu747:
This is serious.

Nobody is sharing their transcripts.

I remember you. You said same in the Canada thread. You disappeared after you got your GCMS notes. We lost that opportunity to learn from you.

Please come back and share. Gracias

presidentpikin:
it was online submission so I can't pinpoint the exact Visa office that handles my application.

Use the webform. Send it to Lagos stating that your application has exceeded processing times.

I am hoping that Lagos would direct you accordingly.

By the way, did your application enter eligibility review?

silversheep:

Thank you for sharing.

silversheep:
I’ve seen some comments on this platform that family visa is a no for Canadian embassy . It’s not true as it took less than a month . And I don’t think we put any document out of the ordinary

Lol @ the boldened. Please kindly share documents submitted so that we can be the judge of that.

Congrats.

The North has looted Nija to oblivion, so tay Abacha is still sending us money

oriazowan:
No I didn’t. I haven’t even gotten any update through email notification. I just logged in and saw the eligibility has changed going to two weeks now.

https://www.nairaland.com/5187408/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/282#79933744

I think similar process applies. A deeper look into your application.

You can order your GCMS notes to see the progress being made on your application or just wait it out.

oriazowan:
My application has been on eligibility review for over a week now and my application has exceeded the processing time. anyone in same situation as mine?

Did you get the biometrics validity letter?

ifyalways:
I think for now it's only available for frequent travellers.

I see

ifyalways:
Wow. Its been a lonnnnnnnnnng time. Kai

I applied(3rd renewal) first week of June. Got passport request after 10 days, sent passport and had my visa/passport back June 26th.

Got 10 years validity visa. One of the reasons i got the new ten years passport.

Congrats.

I thought the new 10 year passports are standard issue.

Dudeweedlmao:

EPIJOE:
HI EVERYONE, PLEASE I APPLIED FOR A TOURIST VISA 10TH JUNE AND DID MY BIOMETRICS 14TH OF JUNE WITH PAPER APPLICATION, I GOT AN EMAIL 1ST JULY 3 DAYS AGO STATING MY BIOMETRICS INFORMATION IS VALID TILL 2029, PLS GURUS IN THE HOUSE WHAT THOSE THIS MEAN? DOES T MEANS A DECISION HAD BEEN TAKEN ALREADY? PLS I NEED ADVICE.

From what I read here those who got this message received their decision some days later.

Teju2014:
I pray your application doesn't get to London Office ooo. They take their bloody time and don't like when you follow up(typical British Attitude). They are ruthless and mean(lol).

Eh!? The brits are brilliant!

Teju2014:
Sorry to burst your bubble but I doubt it. I received my response yesterday and they denied us (myself and my mum) even though our application took 6weeks(online). The event we were to go for is this Saturday and was suppose to fly out yesterday. The only reason given for ours was them not sure we would leave Canada(Myself and My Mum). We submitted everything you could think of; properties documents,good Bank account, the invitee data page, utility bill all my education background in the UK, multiple visas on both passport. Bare in mind that, i am a professional with good pay too so why would i toss everything away to be illegal in Canada?? A country that with strong immigration policy? when i can easily slide to the US and plough it out eh?? smh

We are well traveled and my mum has been travelling since the 70s. i wonder why a Grandma who is in her mid sixties would want to leave her husband behind and all her properties to stay in Canada illegally. They purposely delayed the application so so would have a good ground for refusal. It seems to me they frown upon you attending events such as Wedding and Birthdays, PR is the only way now guys, longer process but sure to get it

I intend reapplying just to put them in their place, i honestly don't to give a monkeys about them...aside the short summer what is fantastic about their long cold winter

What she just told you is fact. Even some people in the multinational oil companies have relocated their families with visit visas. This is a very embarrassing development.

If those in the top earning cadre in the country are perpetrating illegal immigration then it is way worse than I thought. It is a sickness. It's a sickness of the mind for someone who earns over 24m annually to turn his family to refugees or illegal immigrants.

I know a big boy in the oil multinational who we heard relocated his family to the US. We were just there brimming with jealousy only to hear that they were back. He said the US was too expensive but the real truth is his valid visa was cancelled and they were asked to leave.

As for the refusal I am sure they ticked something like purpose of travel, travel history or employment and financial status etc. I would advise that you get the GCMS notes for detailed information before reapplying.

Ultimatezlant:
lol, its startup visa dude.

Not as expensive as you think

First the fees for start up is $1,540. Then you will need to convince one or more designated investor(s) to invest a minimum of $75,000 to $200,000 in your business idea. You must have a registered business.

Next you will need to take a language test from an approved agency and meet the minimum language requirements.

Also, you need to have enough money to relocate to Canada. It is currently $12,669 for one person and an extra $3,414 for each family member.

You are basically going to go through processes involved in immigration.

This discussion actually belongs in the immigrant thread but as you can see it is not exactly a walk in the park.
