Hello

Please how strict is the canada embassy regarding passport submission within 30 days of receiving PPR. My passport is currently with another embassy and I don't know when I ll get back due to processing delays. I might also have to travel immediately I get the passport.

Is it possible to write the embassy for extension to the 30 days limit?

Certainly, sharing information is not obligatory, but it is morally reprehensible to spread fabricated tales of success that favor deceitful visa agents and disadvantage innocent applicants. You clearly stated that your application was "can plus," and we all understand English. Additionally, I work in the oil and gas company sector too and the company never guarantee anyone's return unless it is an official assignment for visa application. they only issue a letter of identification that includes one's work and position. Nevertheless, people on social media should be vigilant about the veracity of the information they believe. This is because I have observed an agent using a screenshot of your testimony today to falsely encourage their clients with a purported recent success story of obtaining a Canadian visa without travel history and after a U.S. visa denial, even though many have been rejected.

listening is my problem I hear slow french but I find conversational french really difficult to grab
The grammar and writing am good to an extent but the listening evades me

Unfortunately we used an agent so we don't have first hand access, only what he shows us when we visit his office or what he video/screen shots and sends to us.
We applied for Express Entry, we took the IELTS and passed. I'm the main applicant, so we used my grades and work experience for everything. We have done medicals, and Biometrics. Submitted the requested passport photo size and given everything requested.
The issue now is our application when we saw it starts with V following 9 digits, and my friends in Canada are concerned that its a visitor's visa and not Express Entry which should start with EE.
We rushed to his office for him to show us the application and he opened it, but the page doesn't state anywhere whether its a visitor's application or an Express Entry application🫨
August will make it 1 year since we did biometrics, while we started the process last year April, 2023...so its officially been 1 year since we started the process.
At this point we are just praying.

He should provide you with their company partnership arrangement so you can use it to get a conference visa, and then japa, ultimately damaging the company's reputation and blocking future opportunities for others. It's unfortunate how selfishly we sometimes think and act!

Ceephort:
Good afternoon ma'am house, Please I have a few questions. My mum and brother are in Canada and I want to apply to visit them.
- What duration do you advise I put, I actually plan to stay as long as possible?

- Someone said that I should put 2 weeks, that they would approve at least 3 or 6 months visa if my application is accepted, is this true?

- For Purpose of visit, do you think its a strong enough reason to say that I just want to visit my family? Or is there something else I can add?

- How much PoF do you suggest? Feeding and accommodation is already taken care of.

The event is an annual event. I was sponsored by my organization. I uploaded letter of invitation, pay slip and letter of introduction from my organization. i did not upload bank statement. I went last year and spent 1 week and came back though i didn't go for the main event i got the visa for last year due to vfs holding my passport for 2 weeks but i attended another event late last year hosted by the same agency with the 6 months visa. I do not have a USA Visa. I have no plans to japa either. All my colleagues also got theirs within the same time frame as mine last year, those who submitted at VFS Abuja got theirs within 1 week while vfs held mine for 2 weeks after submission last year and i complained on this forum.

Another thing is the agency hosting the event wrote to the embassy last year before our application to notify them that we were going to apply. The letter had our names, date of birth and passport number. Hope this clarifies the comments.

Eyiteemama:
Good day everyone. I have been following this thread consistently and was hoping that one day I'll get to share my testimony. That was not the case, but still, I will share my Timeline for any that may still be believing God for a visa in this path. Don't give up. It may not have been for me but it doesn't mean it's not for you. Visit visa.

Application lodged- 12th December, 2023
Biometrics- 19th December, 2023
Refusal- 5th June, 2024


My application:

Duration of stay- 2 weeks
Travel history- Dubai and Singapore visa and stamps
Pof- $11,000 in my bank account (from savings)
Family pictures
Receipts from land purchases in Lagos and Ph
Sources of funds (contracts with my clients)
Motivation letter


I am actually not upset with this news, because I'd already passed the depression stages after waiting for months with no response from ircc. It was very painful because the person I sat down beside with during biometrics on the same day got his own visa after two weeks and have traveled to Canada since while I kept waiting. I am also on Filipino and Indian groups where I see people getting decisions after 30 days, but Nigerians Wil take months just to get denied.


For my Japa journey, I first tried study path, it didn't work because of the increment in pof requirements, I couldn't afford it so I gave up on that. Then I discovered a new pathway; the Francophone mobility program (this is good for those who know French and have visit visa). I spent a lot of time and money improving my french skills, but I also gave up on that after discovering the huge rate at which they are deporting Nigerians on visit visa because of asylum cases.

I'd honestly thought that since my application took long, it would be approved. And its clear that Canada laws are now becoming more stringent given that I submitted a strong application. I have seen now that Canada may not be for me.

I would have tried Express entry route but I don't have enough work experience. I have promised myself that I will not stay in Nigeria beyond this year for the sake of my mental health. ASUU has already wasted two years of my life I'll never get back.

I am still finding alternatives, but Good luck to those of you still awaiting a decision. I pray that you will receive a positive answer ijn.

Really? Any link to this?

In life, make sure you're not suffering as a result of your defect, e.g, greed, illiteracy, foolishness, incompetence, ego, etc. If these women ain't greedy, they probably will still be alive.

I wonder where women these days get mind from. Walking alone in the day, my eyes scan everywhere. But to follow a stranger home without telling anyone, to get naked and be at your weakness state. Them get mind

That’s nice. Though exams could be a strong motivating factor, it’s actually more fun when you learn a new language simply because you love it. You know, without the pressure of exams and the anticipation of score-boosting results. Since you’re in Canada and very much settled, you can now learn at your own natural pace. With consistency and French speaking friends, it can only get better. With recent events, we can confidently say that learning a new language like French really does open doors of opportunity.

Hello house, Is it true that all of one's POF can be deed of gift?

And if so, how will the explanation of the deed of girt be?

uchennay:
With the current number of people who got visas last year and the majority landing in Canada only to claim asylum and abuse the visa, it's no surprise that this affects other innocent applicants. I am not surprised by the current refusal rate. This is not the time to risk applying to Canada; the refusal rate is too high!

Deepspirituals:
Hmmm ! Food for thought but how ?

Meaning King Solomon Went to Hell

today's money?
approximately $2.1 trillion
Conservative estimates put his peak net worth at approximately $2.1 trillion. According to the Bible, King Solomon ruled from 970 BC to 931 BC, and during this time he is said to have received 25 tons of gold for each of the 39 years of his reign approximately 1500 tons, which would be worth billions of dollars today.

Here goes -

1) Take a pen and a book, write down your definition of success as an immigrant. Let your spouse do the-same. If that definition is different for both of you, sit down and talk about it. Make sure you both have similarity, at least 75%, in what you both define as success. I would love to give you examples but this will defeat the purpose of this task.

2) If you have house help(s), then it is time to let them go, please do not forget to do so nicely, you will understand when you get to Manitoba. Both you and your spouse should be in charge of the day to day running of your home now - domestic chores, taking care of the kids and work. This is to prepare you for the days ahead.

3) Start applying for jobs.

4) If you will need to be licensed to work in your profession, then start talking to the licensing bodies and connecting with people who have gone through the-same process.

5)Connect with immigrant welcoming organizations. Their services are free, courtesy of the federal government. Also, if you wish, join the Nigerian WhatsApp group for your destination of choice.

6) Remember the son/daughter of whom you are. Remember that there will be a lot of information, both the ones you have asked for and unsolicited. Test every counsel, do not just accept any counsel/persuasion/advice hook, line and sinker because it's coming from Justin Trudeau. Shine your eyes.

May the land favor you and yours, amen. I have assumed that you are married and with kid(s), if not, please oblige my erroneous presumption.

In the bible, no one can lay claim to being the owner of the temples. But these churches of today is owned by either an individual or a group of individuals as always shown in their CAC and other documents hence, reflect in the way the tithes and offerings are managed, even by the owner of the church

Be wise my brother

Kingzizu:
Please my people, I have never been this confused and bothered in my life.

I have a Canadian VV, I couldn't use it for the purpose I needed it as the visa came out some months later. I have relatives in Canada who are convincing me to come over and seek Asylum. It's new to me but I'm still trying to make some research about asylum seeking.

I graduated 2015 with a CGPA of 4.3 and since then I've not been able to get a good job.

Please, is it worth it considering the fact that Nigeria is getting worse by the day?

Please experienced elders come and offer your 2cent for this situation.

I recently landed in Canada as a PR and still hoping for a job.

Before I landed, I engaged my girlfriend and we did introduction. Marriage was postponed till later to ensure that my marital status didn't change since I already had Copr and visa and didn't think having my application reopened before landing was the best option at that stage.

In the last one week, she has been on my neck to start processing our reunion. I explained to her that while we want this reunion now, we can't do anything till situation normalizes. She is suggesting that she applies for a tourist visa. I told her that while tourist visa is good it may not be the best option for our current situation. Here is the situation, we don't have the accumulated finances or income flow or assets to support a tourist visa application at the moment.

I suggested, that she calms down till income starts coming, so that we can arrange my trip to Nigeria for our marriage. Afterwards we can leverage one policy that IRCC rolled in around May 2023 and submit a PR application then with the AOR apply for spousal visit Visa and SOWP all at once. She considers my suggestion deceptive that I don't want her to join me, hence I am not approving of her tourist visa plan.

From her stance and what she heard from one of her colleagues she thinks the financial situation which affects the potential POF she may need to apply for her tourist visa can be arranged by agents. All my efforts to make her understand that she doesn't have a solid case with the tourist visa plan and that I don't trust Nigeria agents and can't allow her jeopardize our future reunion with unreliable documents showing numbers.

According to what she heard from a colleague too she suggested to go ahead and acquire our certificate but I told her that it will be marriage by proxy. Especially if I don't leave Canada at the time, it will be issued and Canada doesn't recognise proxy marriages. Hence, if we apply anything with that certificate it may backfire.

The constant pressure to do something about our reunion is not helping issues at all. Please if you have any suggestion that may help us, we are willing to listen.
