Yes, exactly in some cases, there can even be up to 11 people, as some turn the living room into extra sleeping space or divide it into two extra sleeping spaces.

DoTheNeedful:
I have been living in the US for almost a decade, and I can tell you that value of $1,000 in the US is less than 90k in Nigeria.

It is surprising that many of you, including graduates, don't understand that you can't just arbitrarily convert dollars or pounds to naira in this context.

You cannot start a family anywhere in the US with $1, 000. You would need at least a job that pays you $6,000 per month to think of marriage. An ideal monthly salary would be around $10,000.

With 1.5 million in Nigeria, you can afford to marry a jobless partner, support two children, and own a decent car.

You could eat out in Nigeria with 2k, but eating out in the US would cost you around 25 dollars (35k). I get a haircut every month for $50 (75k) in the US. In Nigeria, I could get the same haircut for around 1k.

If you have a baby in the US, you would need to spend around $2,000 (3 million) per month on day care. In Nigeria, you would pay maybe 50k.

I laugh each time I see some posts on social media converting people's salary in UK/US/CA to naira, thinking the naira equivalent of those figures have the same impact in those countries. It is unfortunate that some people have such mentality.

That being said, if you manage to have some savings in places like US and you bring such to Nigeria, you could tie up a project.
Very detailed.

Wait what are you even saying — are you saying the POF (six months’ account statement) is now the additional document you mentioned?

Before you even reach the stage for CAN+, you would have already submitted your visitor visa application.
The Visa Application Centres (VACs) will automatically screen all applications for CAN+ eligibility, so there’s no special place or separate form for that.

So, I’ll say it again:

At every point — even if you hold a current or previous Canadian or U.S. visa — you are still required to provide six months of bank statements.
There’s no stage in the visitor visa application process where you won’t need to submit six months of bank statements (personal or business account, etc.).

Even if you currently hold a valid U.S. visa, that does not exempt you from providing your bank statements.

Oga...
You are very wrong.
@Ashirioluwa is very correct

If you have a valid USA/Canada visa, you automatically qualified for Can+ which bank statement will be exempted.

So agencies of government can instantly know of all developments going on in a city of over 20 million people huh

Also going by your logic, no one should be punished for any crime since the police should have stopped the crime from being committed in the first place.

Can the police be every where at all times to prevent all and any crimes from being committed.

Do you know any country in the world where that happens.
Most of them will just Sit somewhere and be typing gibberish.

Please advise on this🙏

My sister just got my passport and it says expiry is 6th Jan 2026 and single entry.

Does it mean that she can stay up to 6 months once she arrive but needs to arrive before 6th Jan?

I wanted to know how to book her ticket. Thanks
Border officer will decide that....

She might even be stamped in with the duration of her air ticket

Let me ask you a simple and harmless question.
Just this year there has been countless plane crashes in the US, also recently a Syrian based in the UK went on a stabbing spree and so many others which we both know and have read in the news happening in developed countries. Now my question to you, does it means the US happened to the Americans that have died in those countless plane crashes and the UK happened to the British that were stabbed recently?
You are quoting those people that are living and will lived all their lives in the village

Hello gurus in the house, please I need your advice. I am in the process of applying for a TRV to visit my husband, who will be fully sponsoring my trip. However, I’m currently unable to access my personal bank statement due to a temporary issue with my bank app, which is been worked on. As such, I won’t be including my personal bank statement in the application.
I intend to demonstrate my ties to Nigeria through
a permanent job (I’ll be submitting my employment letter and recent pay slips, a letter of approval for leave extension which has been approved with the date of my resumption back to work clearly written in it.
My immediate family also resides here and I have a landed property in my name, I would include the documents and a picture of the land too.
My question is: Could the absence of my personal bank statement pose a problem for my TRV application, given that my husband is fully sponsoring the trip and will provide all required documents as the sponsor?
Yes it will

But bank app shouldn't be a problem nah.

Visit your bank and print your statement nah, what's difficult in that.

Fully sponsoring a full grown adult on visiting visa doesn't work

Submitting too many documents is not a good sign and also getting so much refusal doesn't look good for future application.

With all these, the visa was still refused.

Is Canada the heaven on earth?

I believe that the visa officers are jealous of the applicant because they themselves don't have such amount of money.
Seriously 😳

I have seen such case so many times, most of these embassies will most likely denied you if you submit huge account statement.

I would say they are jealous true true 😂

If not our country that our politicians have messed up, must we go to all these countries? Our bad politicians have made many Nigerians to think that one has not arrived without going to these countries.

I checked different comments about not being able to enter those countries due to initial 5 years ban, and I feel like and so what? Will the world come to an end because of that? Are they even gods?

I started thinking that we can also improve our status here in Nigeria like many people that I know without going to those countries. If we do, they will have no choice than to grant us visas when they see our intimidating profiles no matter previous ban.
Hmmmm truth

Frankly, I looked at all the documents you sent and it was exactly what's needed however the Academic document e.g you ND, B.sc wasnt neccessary, Letter from your community leader wasn't necessary.. These guys may think you are desperate to come to Canada and won't want to come back. Ordinarily your documents submitted would have gotten your visa approved, I believe they didnt just want to issue the Visa, I would advice instead of reapplying, get an Ircc immigration lawyer for them to write a reconsideration Letter, most people get there Visa's after this Letter is sent within few days.. They will look at your application calmly and reconsider. Try that before reapplying because I don't know what other document you would send as you had already sent more than enough maybe letter from your ancestor is left..
Imagine those documents for ordinary visiting visa.

Once unnecessary documents is submitted most of the visa officer get pissed off.
They got no much time honestly
