Hi guys! A silent follower!

I am a first time applicant. I did my biometrics on the 17th of this month and got a BVL and PPR today.

Can I walk in to Vfs Lekki to submit my passport or I need to book an appointment? I don't want to use the courier option because of the stories of delays I have been reading here.

Seriously 😳

Canadian embassy and their way of doing things Sha.
You can never predict.

Congratulations dear

Lucipee:
Pls do Nigerians need a transit visa if passing through Ndjamena, Chad (NDJ) , then 2nd layover is in Paris and 3rd is in Vancouver ( Airline = Air France )


Pls ur prompt reply will be appreciated
Asking for a family member
Thank you

Transit visa not required

Namzee99:
I saw some people get in a space of 4 weeks after biometrics

Applications are never the same.
Your wife student visa will not even influence their decision.
They might fast track your application if you had a valid US visa or Canadian visa in the past.

Just be hopeful

chiomapx:
Please when does this 6months of visiting VISA starts counting..... Is it once you receive your VISA or when the CBS officers stamps your passport at the POE..

Immediately your passport get stamped by Canadian border agency

saskatoonguy:
Hi Guys, someone that has visit visa, can she book either of these airlines. Lufthansa, Klm or Airfrance?

Yes sure.

Make sure your flight as a single stopover in European country.

Pascal122:
No he doesn't, but he is well to do in a way.

I don't think he qualify for a residence visa

HonourableJoe:
If my guess is right, you landed couple of days ago. If it was before the rain then for the weather aspect, wait for winter lol. If about 18°c cause blocked nose then i cannot imagine what -35°c and -40°c will do.

Congratulations on your arrival

Don't scared him/her nah 😁😂

Pascal122:
I need advice to give an older friend of mine who wants to go to Canada but his circumstances is quite different.

He is in his late 40s and a successful, wealthy businessman in Nigeria. He wants to relocate to Canada with his family of two daughters and wife. Both him and his wife have SSCE qualifications as their only education.

What are his chances or what can be do to relocate to Canada? He asked me to help me find a suitable pathway for him and I've been thinking about it for weeks now. Can anyone help?

That's quite tough....

Does he have up to 500 thousand us dollar? Maybe he can qualify for investment visa?

Abigbo:
Like i said, you don't have the monopoly of where Nigerians can and can't go.
This human trash as you said...will always be in every country in the world including South Africa.Both good and bad people making waves as their individual personality allows them.
And there's nothing you can do about it other than getting angry and bitter.
I do not support evil but honey, evil is part of life cuz it makes you appreciate the good wherever you find it.

Basic and simple replies.....

I don't understand the fuss about Nigerians honestly, I've been to many countries and I can tell, indians, Pakistani, Congolese and even Chinese are always in news for negative things more than Nigerians....

What I noticed is that, Nigerians always show their yanch to the world via the internet, any small things na noise all over the internet.

Most of the African/Asian countries are not any better honestly

megapriest:
I learnt converting Visiting s Visa to Work permit isn't as easy to do as most people trying to Japa thought.....

I want to ask ..

Is Canada tolerant with illegal immigrants like US?
Could it possible for an overstayed visitor to still get a Full Time Job possibly at those Rural provinces ...

Just thinking about survival of illegal immigrants in Canada compared to US..

I beg put mouth

Staying in Canada without status is terrible.
Miserable life

zeb04:
Lol don’t worry, i will eat for two.

Hmmm ok o

But don't be stingy with food o.

And congrat on your arrival, may the land favour you. Amen

zeb04:
Guys I landed in Canada on Sunday.

I flew through British airways and i landed at Montreal. Everything went smooth and easy at the immigration. They only asked me what i am hete for and the name of my employer.

It is summer here and can be a little chilly because of the wind(for me)

I have been receiving visitors from my colleagues and employers .

I realize that I didn’t bring enough clothes, i just packed mainly foodstuffs.

I haven’t tried their food yet, although my employer left some foodstuffs innthe fridge for me, i brought cooked food from Nigeria. Surprisingly they were still blocked. It saves me because all i do is cook rice and make eba.

Today i ate correct eba and vegetable soup with plenty okporoko and dried fish(the one i brought from home)

Please don’t ask me how i got the job. I have answered it too many times already…. Just look for it.

It is a beautiful place. I haven’t started making friends yet but my colleagues have been inviting me to their houses. Example, i have dinner on Sunday with my boss, his family and grandparents.

I am going for an auction tomorrow whete they bid for horses and cows, it is going to be like a carnival.


I haven’t officially resumed because i came a week earlier, but i spend my free time praying, opening accounts, medical insurance, reading about my job.

Please your location? 😋😋😋

Make I gbenusi 😅

Pristine664:
Study visa.

You are safe to travel with one way ticket

Pristine664:
Please who knows if transit visa is needed for Airfrance? My trip is Lagos to Toronto.

And hope there is no issue with one-way ticket??

Urgent pls.

You don't need a transit visa with air France but what visa category are you traveling with on one way ticket?

mbapelvis:
Greetings everyone in this house. From what I have gathered here visit visa comes with a lot of constraints. What if after arriving Canada I quietly seek assylum instead of trying to convert my visa to work permit? I'm Cameroonian. Thanks

Assylum base on what?

Google Viamar Scilla shipping company,,, they are my best plug, I use them frequently but their warehouse I know is in Mississauga.

I think they have a warehouse in Montreal but not sure.

hustla:
Hmmm

600. Will the gov be looking to defend the naira like before?

Doesn't look like we can do that cos it's now floating

Floating of fx at this present time causes panic buying which is driving it up madly.

In reality dollar shouldn't be more than 600.

I believe govt will still defend fx as it is, the corrupt people in the Nigerian financial institutions is out of the world

hustla:
Please o finance gurus

Is there any probability that the spiking fx rates will nose dive in the next few months?

Or more increases to be expected?

Any pointers appreciated

Thanks

It will definitely nose dive.
FX can't stay high for long.

I'm predicting 600/USD in the coming months

Princessmay11:
Continue saying that Egypt air is cheap until you get to their counter and you pay more than you should have paid for other airline. I had to book another return ticket of 1m when I got to the airport, despite I had work permit, they requested for it or else they won’t allow me fly. Add that 1m to the 1.2m you bought the ticket at first.
My friend was also sent back from Egypt yesterday for no reason. All tourists were sent back. At the end of all this. How is it cheap ? Imagine the stress of going back to Nigeria and you still have to book another flight!

Sorry about your experience with Egypt Air.

But your friend can't be sent back without a tangible reason.
They have no authority to do that once you have a valid visa.

hello66:
I kept changing kick upto 5 to 6 kicks untill the 7th kick solved the issues

Seriously

So Kickstarter is the problem.

hello66:
Good day
Did your friend later got solution?

Nope

Still on the matter.

Did you?

Creativebelle:
Please is it possible to change my spouse’s visitors visa to work permit? I am a student and someone told me we can flagpole.please how true is this?
Thank you

Yes sure.
Your spouse can flagpole and convert the visa to open work permit.

I think it's done at their US border Niagara or so not sure

b0b0000:
Good morning top people.

Please house, is there a UPS or DHL close to VFS office Lekki?

And please how much is the delivery/transmission fee?

Yes there's UPS office very close to VFS.
When you get to VFS just Google UPS near me, it will direct you there.

It's more preferable to use that particular UPS branch as they are more helpful and will advice you on the documents you will submit

ednut1:
