What you guys don’t know is ircc look beyond your account balance. They also use other factors to determine your eligibility. You can reapply and package your application well. If you need a professional travel service, I do offer one at a low cost. It’s up to you.

Ashirioluwa:
This is not true. Airline will only be fine if the passenger doesn’t have the necessary documents to enter into the country.

Ashirioluwa:
This must be a new thing at Nigerian airport because no one ever asked me for invitation letter from my host or my hotel reservation for all my trips abroad.

They are not immigration, and I believe this nonsense is only happening in Nigeria.

Ashirioluwa:
I don't know if this is peculiar to Canada, but if you're traveling as a newbie, make sure you go to the airport with an invitation letter from your host because they won't allow you to check in if you can't provide the letter.

Yesterday, they refused to let my brother check in until he was able to show them a letter.

the Canada visa application is done online, so why is the agent printing the document if it was already sent to you in PDF format by the bank, which you then forwarded to the agent,What exactly is the agent printing and attaching? Canada no longer accepts paper applications. They accept any type of bank statement online, whether it's electronic or printed. If it's a printed paper given by the bank, then it has to be rescanned. Did the agent print the electronic bank statement and then rescan it? If this is what the agent did, the printing and rescanning process could have caused the statement to lose its quality and become blurry. If that's the case, then the agent is not a professional.

Go back to the bank and print the exact same statement that you submitted, and get a letter from the bank confirming that the statement is authentic then add ur own letter that the statement is orginal that it was send to ur email by the bank which u reprint and attached to your application. Merge all documents together because the space for additional documents cannot upload many files. If you mess this up, it could result in a ban. So, be smart with it.

What they need from him now is to defend that the bank statement he submitted is real and not fake. He should not try to send any new statement without knowing 100% what the agent previously submitted. Only by a miracle will he escape the ban, which is why I do not like the idea of using agents. From my observation, it is due to fund for bank statements that people patronize agents. But in this case, you have your bank statement, so why do you need an agent? Probably the agent didn't use the original bank statement and thought the amount was small, so he used a typewriter to boost it.but if the agent is honest and acutally upload the orginal statment then the guy have a good case and ircc will reconsider the case as error and hopeful issue him a visa.

wencius4u:
Ok. Have made that request. I was thinking the one bank sends directly to Canadian embassy is what matters. The one i forwarded to the agent was in electronic format and it was not stamped. I don't know what else i did wrong. But until i get the documents from the agent, i will know wat next

Ashirioluwa:
But why don’t you ask same agent to tell you how to submit your passport. I believe he will be happy to do that for you.

Using an agent is a personal choice, and no one is asking you or others not to use one. It’s your money; you can spend it the way you like.

Anyway, you sounded like an agent who is advertising for your colleagues. 

megastu:
The thing really baffles me. I have argued so much with many at different forums.

Dont come to Canada without money and depend on miracle. When you talk, they will say you don't want their progress. With all my qualifications, network and smartness, e no easy for me sef, i had to come back to Nigeria. I might go back again, just maybe. I am even advising one guy now that his wife left because they couldn't pay the $8k balance school fees and another man deceived her with fake account balance. They arrived Canada as student and dependent only August 2023 as student and dependant, now both are asylum claimants, potentially failed claimants. I have advised him to tell immigration to send them back to Naija cos now [b]he has sold all his properties, relocated to Canada and within 10 months, lost his wife and kids, broke and depresse[/b]d.

Ndubestjude:
I only gave him my international passport and white photo background

Ndubestjude:

[b]comparing churches to businesses is disingenuou[/b]s. Churches that are there to milk people and repatriate the money to Church HQ in Nigeria.

deejay102:
We know una type🤣🤣🤣.

The OP has been advised in both ways! Let him decide.

Fyi even though I don’t know any of the other commenters who sighted red flags, I’m pretty sure none of them is in Nigeria and experience is golden but not absolute . I’m not looking for visa either 🙄. Just de 🧢.

From the tone of his write up you can deduce the lady has influence on him. He was very rational to have explained to her to see reasons but no oo she de pressure and someone is saying buy food for her and take her shopping 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

As per begging to be laid! That is real and reason is not far fetched. Men avoid ladies that smell trouble of which our women are (not all).

I wish the OP luck in whetever decision he takes!

deejay102:
@kuniennam, you wear the shoe and know where it bites. If any of the concerns ‘men’ have mentioned here is remotely true, you know what to do and if you choose to take advise of the 1% success cases in this kind of situation hoping yours is included in it , goodluck to you. Don’t learn from experience, you may not come out of it in one piece. When chips are down and you are crying in your closet, motivational speakers will be in their ‘happy’ homes or cashing out their CCB/Spousal support/ Child support etc.

Enough said! Good luck my brother!

ednut1:
a woman that cannot follow due process is a red flag to bring abroad. This type never have a mind of their own. So if she gets the proxy oluwole marriage cert will they photoshop you into pictures to be submitted 🤣🥱

Nkaluu800:
Everyone should refrain from posting fictitious questionable timeline.

Even US visa with 1 million years validity, will definitely pass through at least 2-3 months processing time.

We are not kids here please.

Baloemmy23:
Good morning guru's, please I want to ask a question please, my agent helped me to apply for a visitor visa but when I went to do my biometrics I wrote my email on the top of my biometric paper. So my question is if my visa got approved would I be the one to receive the email or my agent?

Baloemmy23:
Good evening guru's how are you all doing, please I want to ask a question💔How much will be OK and sustainable for you to take to Canada on a visitor visa, for hotel and feeding? 🫣

uchennay:
Sir, it was you who posted this message last year when you arrive Canada , and yesterday you advise on the risks and difficulties in obtaining an LMIA. You mentioned that you are now a resident in a rural area of Canada. Someone asked you how you converted your conference visa to a resident or work permit, and then you started to delete all your previous messages online as if the IRCC or police were tracing you. However, we have read and heard that it is not illegal to convert a visitor visa to a work permit inside Canada , or are you claiming asylum too and somebody also said claiming asylum is not a crime but deportation of fail asylum seeker is real. So why are you Running?

crackcrack:
I have never understood how many Nigerians think. You are planning to do something you don't know much about, and people with first-hand experience are telling you all the ways it could go wrong. Instead of listening and perhaps making tweaks to your plans, you declare the advisers to be 'bad belle' and hurl insults at them. Even with ample data and evidence that you're on a path with very limited chances of success, you take a deep dive — hook, line, and sinker — and hope for the best.

The average Nigerian always thinks his case will be different. I'm sure our overly-religious nature contributes to this way of thinking. "Me, I will find mercy." "God will work a miracle for me." "Where many have failed, I shall succeed." LOL.

I don't think there's any point in arguing with people who want to embark on a journey that will most likely lead to catastrophe. We are all adults, and people should be free to lay their beds however they want to — as long as they lie on it without complaining.

I've noticed that individuals Like you often favor speculation over facts, especially regarding visa applications. This platform is designed for idea exchange, and it appears that any differing view is seen as either encouragement or discouragement to you . Applying for a visa isn't like an academic or business or professional endeavor where one is urged to excel; it's a forum for sharing information. It's crucial to stay calm and not show too much eagerness, as it may suggest your intention to seek asylum—a genuine applicant shouldn't feel such extreme pressure to finding encouraging words for their visa application. Since you've already submitted your application, the best action is to wait patiently for the result. Keep in mind, even with thorough documentation, a visa application can be rejected because it is a privilege, not a right.i just return from uk last week and it my first time aboard but l can categorically say our people are hiding many fact about how they live aboard..you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free...aboard is not for me ,make l dey enjoy my small achievement for Nigeria.My life no like stress

Asylum seekers:

Eriokanmi:
All this insult for me? Tnx

affoncad:
Late 2023, there was a relaxation of rules by ircc for canada visa to process applicants in bulk and clear the backlog. This was the main reason for the high approval rate in 2024. Currently, they have reverted to their normal process of inspecting documents and evaluating applicant intent. Canada visa approval wasn't easy in the past, and we shouldn't use the high approval rate last year as the sole metric to judge the Canada visa processing system. It was a temporary measure that the public and the opposition party are now blaming for the current asylum problem. Go and check the approval rate last year to now especially for first time traveller.and to say current increase in asylum rate will not affect other applicant means you do not know about the politics of the west,if they could suddently impose visa on mexico citizen who are visa free to canada before due to asylum rate so u think they will just fold hand and keep issuing visa in mass when majority that got it are now claiming asylum and it could cost the current govt to lose vote at election..it does not work that way. Every country believe asylum seeker are a burden to the system and you can see currently that uk is planning to send asylum seeker to Rwanda .

Eriokanmi:
june/july 2022 wasn't far away. The one that was refused over POF apllied first week of September 2022. He reapplied March 2023 and got approved in May.

Whether 3 or 4 years back, Canada visa still follows same standard of adjudication. Like I said, that you found it hard to secure a trv doesn't mean it's same situation across board. That's the hard fact.TRV is one of the easiest,.provided you follow the rules to the letter. Read every info on this thread from the beginning. Lack of adequate information led to so many refusals.
