LOL so getting 2 refusal means someone should stay away?

Reapplying anytime soon clearly shows desperation after 2 refusal

Lemme tell you my own story

I have a very useless uncle And a useless aunty too. The uncle works for Texas department of Insurance. I sought for jobs 5 -6 years in Nigeria I didn't see. Money wasn't coming in, nothing. My life was doomed, I didn't have anywhere to go. Did few deals in the past, made some proceeds and did a passport. Since then, all doors closed in again.
I asked my uncle to assist with just a letter of invitation, he said I should call one of my aunties, I called my aunty (imagine calling the US and spending over 20mins on phone, and I didn't have a job, I'd help my father to help in his shop, the small change, I'd use it to buy units and call overseas.) they all kept joking with me until this my aunt said, she'd make findings and see how I could come. This is 2019, and it's almost ending , she made that Idiotic statement since 2017.
Today, it's a different story. I warned my mom never to ever call them on phone and speak about anything that concerns me to them again. They now saying, they don't know why I'm angry.
Uncle works for Texas department of Insurance , aunty is a senior Lecturer for University of Texas, Austin. Her first son is US Army and a very senior officer. All US citizens. I thank God, I wouldn't be needing their help for anything in this life again. I've even deleted them from facebook. They go about telling people that I'm bad , angry and I'm a rough person. Until when some heard my own side of the story... Tables has finally turned.

I don't depend on any stupid relation overseas. Bunch of useles people one should never rely on.

That's life my brother!

Abroad folks hardly helps
They might also be going through alot and be scared to take the burden......
Do not judge with the job they do or where they live, you dont have the clear picture of what they are also going through......

Abroad folks will hardly tell you they are broke cos Nigerians will never believe that!

chisongozi:
Someone who has applied for tourist visa last year and was denied. Applied for study visa this year and was also denied. Is it advisable for the person to apply for visiting visa again with hubby? Won't it look like a desperate move?

Stay away from Canadian embassy.

niobe77:
Had similar experience shortly after landing and i'm guessing stress from the travel was the cause. Suspected malaria but still visited the hospital and the doctors acted like my child had ebola immediately they realized we just arrived from a country where malaria still exist. Before they quarantine us we carried ourselves back home to continue our naija-made malaria dosage. From the smallest baby to the oldest, we all fell ill one after the other in -30c winter chai. For newcomers who won't have immediate access to medical please come prepared.

Sister it is well with your kids.

WTF

OgogoroFreak:
Pure Nigerian way of assimilating writeup.

Where did you see "RICH", "YOUNG" and "GUY" in my comment?

I wonder how people just give their own meaning to your comment and start attacking you based on the their own meaning they gave to your comment.

I am young and have made more than that in my businesses. So, my comment can't possibly mean "Any rich young Nigerian is into yahoo".

So tell us why you said his into Yahoo

OgogoroFreak:
Yahoo

Pure Nigerian mentality........

Any rich young guy is into Yahoo! There are many young folks making millions in their businesses.

We need to change our ways in this country!

knytred:
Please I just want to know , if I’m granted a Canadian visiting visa and I travel,can I apply for a US visa from there (Canada)?

Valid question.....
I want to know about this too

Nigsrdumb:
I'm I rich in Nigeria if I'm worth 100 million naira?

With 100m naira cash at hand.....
You are rich anywhere in the world

mofedamijo:
Please i want to beg Nigerians to always read, and also do their own research, that's the best form of Education, having said that, what this op posted so far doesn't add up by 2%, if you must make six figures in North America, then you must be in a very high paying job, listen to me and listen attentively, no matter how much bonus you get, if you're not in a certain sector or certain companies, you can't make six figures let alone save six figures, and even if your boss is your father, the board of the company and state have specific salary structure. Even if your father gifts you over $10,000, you will be taxed, so i don't know where the op got all these figures he posted. $16/hr job will never give you six figures, even if you decide not to sleep for 365 days a year. Secondly, you have a limited amount of hours you can work, even if your body is made of rock.

Thirdly, nobody envies him or anything, but Nigerians must be told the truth at all times, and you should also do your own research. we have Nigerians who left 1.0million naira job, just because they were told Canada pays like crazy, be wise my people, Canada doesnt pay like crazy, do your own research, you find someone who is a highly skilled individual working in Walmart, why, no job for his/her skills out there. I have so many indian friends in Canada, gurus in I.T, they all left india where they are paid well, only for them to land in canada and no job.

Don' get me wrong people, Nigerians make it out there, but to be sincere with you, maybe few percentages of them, the rest a living basic lives, am not here to argue, am stating facts.

For me, the best country in the world is the country where your dreams come true, wherever you make it in life is your best country. I have met some Nigerian nurses in Namibia and other African countries, and believe you me, they earn over $3000/month, live in beautiful houses where the rent is less than $350, low tax, and they travel anywhere when they are on leave. To let you know, not so many Nigerians even earn $30,000/annum in U.S AND CANADA, this are facts.......may God take us all to our promise land, if your promise land is in congo, believe you me, you will make it better than folks in Europe, U.S or even Canada.

For me, i have traveled a bit in life, and God has been faithful, however, i will rather be a Dangote or Kofi Annan than be eager to get the blue passport, there are certain position you get to in life, even the embassy awaits your arrival, am not a blue passport fanatic, if it comes my way, fine, but i want to make a stamp on the world, and so my take off point doesn't have to be Canada or U.S. God bless US all.

EOD

Babyvet:
Lol, or a fraudster lol. No wonder Nigerians have bad image outside , too much dubious behavior .

Nigerians believed in whatever they see on social media....

My believed is OP might not be a human, he might be a robot...... That's why hes making that much on $16/hr job

Heledy:
yes it is.... Also,I know they will definitely ask me questions.

But, I Don't need to re-apply for TRV
Right?

Even on my first Trip i was not question becuase i used the automated POE.

U are free to enter Canada with that visa at anytime until 2021 when you will need to reapply.

Babyvet:
Well I work in the U.S in the health care field, even some nurses with higher base hourly rates and overtime are not making six figures . Even CNA who make what the op is making , with overtime and shift bonuses are no where near six figures.I know Canada has labor laws , so there are are only so many hours one can work. The op story already sounded funny when he had goal of saving about $120,000 in two years making about $16 per hour . These abroad people sef , that’s how they will be deceiving people back home .

OP might be a robot nah

Ashirioluwa:
He said he is planning to save $120k before November 10, 2020. We should all encourage him. If you or I say how then people back home will turn it to insult.

Even if you work double every day, that is 16 hours per day. Without a day off, you will work 16 hours x 14 days in 2 week.

16 x 14 = 224 hours in 2 weeks

That is 80 hours straight time and 144 hours overtime.

80 x 16 = 1280
144 x 16 x 1.5 = 3456
Gross = 4736

He will pay tax from this amount, feed himself, transportation and all other expenses.

He needs to save $8571/month for 14 months to be able to save $120k.

Person fit joons o

Wah wah wah... E pain am.

When you leave Mercedes and jump directly into Toyota, you're upgrading a whole 16 steps. Plus you're now safe from sudden unexplained fire that comes with Mercedes models. Stop giving false information

Are you saying Mazda is better than Mercedes benz, Nissan, Honda, Volvo, acura and BMW?



To slap this guy dey hungry me

Suuz:
Thanks Mena for your response,
Do I need to make a long list stating the reason for applying for a long term visit visa?

You need a very solid profile to apply for 5 year to avoid...................

Nnamz:
It's mature not matured. Matured is used for animals.

Is this necessary ?

TYPOP:
I did not want to comment about the attacks at all but I will do that now, based on this.

It is important to desist from spreading misinformation as this is what engenders more evils. Really?

For the record, so far, no one can claim that 1 Nigerian has been killed in all that happened so far (at least that is as per information reaching me for now). Before you shout me down, I was in MTN taxi rank yesterday, a main hotspot, particularly at the African mall, just to do my normal groceries. The shops were open, business was going on as normal. I'll also be quick to add that yesterday was their first day of opening, since Sunday. They were scared of the attacks also and actually repulsed the attackers when they were coming to loot their shops. I passed through Cosmos City on Wednesday, the heat of the attacks, and there was absolute calm there. However, my people in Nigeria believes that civil war and wanton killings are going on in SA and that we are all hiding in our houses.

To be clear, I did not say some Nigerians did not lose their businesses. However, the same will be said of Pakistanis, Zimbabweans and citizens of other countries who lost their livelihood during the carnage. Nigerians in Nigeria will not know this, but Game stores, Shoprite stores and other South African owned large and small-scale businesses in Johannesburg were also looted and their livelihood destroyed during the madness. These are not foreigners, these are South African businesses.

Secondly, I am curious to see how many Nigerians will board that plane that Air Peace offers free of charge. I promise you, I doubt 10 people will board. This should tell you Nigerians at home that the reports you are reading and watching are largely exaggerated. If it was a return ticket, I'll gladly board that plane so as to say hello to my family and then come back here to Jozi.

Lastly, please, when you get a video, be ABSOLUTELY sure that the video is exactly what the sender says it was. A lot of the time, these things are false.

I'll end with this, for me, Johannesburg is still safer than Nigeria at the moment, so I'll still stay here. When the time is right, I'll leave here.

Enough said.

Illiterate too much for Nigeria.

I dont know why Nigerians believe everything they see on Facebook.

Long time ago I have decided not to believe anything I see on social media until I investigate to be certain if is true or not.

Nigeria media are damaging the country to the eyes of the world. Something will happen in Sudan, Nigeria media will say it happen somewhere in Nigeria and Nigerians are good in broadcasting rumours.

I wish I'm the president of this country. I will have zero tolerance to any local or International station that carried fake news about Nigeria.

Right from the beginning I knew the xenophobia attack is overhyped

Still on this argument.........

Please let's pray for our people's in South Africa.

Say no to Xenophobic attacks

Building is even owned by a Nigerian......

They should focus on South African Airline office and South African embassy

Breaking news......

Nigerians too are retaliating on south Africans! MTN office at bodija ibadan burnt down, building is owned by a Nigerian.

Is that the way forward?

kareemsaheed:

Its not about being black. People move for jobs, schools, change of environment, leisure and for many other reasons. When I lived and worked in the UK, we had 3 Canadians in my office. One of my ex-classmate in the UK was Canadian and was paying international student fees for an education he could have paid home student fees for in Canada. Last time I visited thé UK which was this year, I identified a Canadian lady on a bus (she was wearing a raptors) cap. We started talking and I realised she has lived and has been working in the UK for a while.

There are several white British here too. One of my white ex co-worker and her husband from the UK just returned to England. They were iinitially in Australia for two years, then moved to Canada for another two years. I have visited a police station to request a report and was attended to by a white british cop. A white british lady works as a pharm assistant at one of the pharms my wife previouosly worked. One of my city's orpthamologist is white british. A white british mother and son with a northern accent were behind me at the store two days ago.

Canadians and Americans move to work between borders too. There are tons of Canadian nurses and. Doctors working in the state. 3 of my friends (2 Engineers and an Internist) moved to the states between last year and this year.

As for me, I moved from the UK to Canada in 2012 for better opportunities in my field. I used to hear about how well paying some occupations were in Oil rich western Canada. They were right except it was short lived due to the boom bust nature of the oil industry. I have since moved away from the oil industry to a more stable industry which still pays well.

Well said brother

I need clarification here pls

I noticed recently Nigerian-British are also moving to Canada and Australia through express entry. I've seen 3 different people this last month alone that moved, mind you these people are Nigerian with British passport...

My questions:
Is there no more opportunities in the UK?
Is UK now having economic, security, poverty challenges ?
Is there no more 24hrs electricity, good roads and infrastructures in the Uk?

Or black man just get issues

I need one how much pls?

Sasorah:
I would like to apply again but I'm resuming school this month and my next holiday is in December so I can't go for that holiday anymore till the next one during summer, next year June.

My mum told me she knows someone in the US(she didn't tell me before because she thought it wasn't useful). I also know the lady because she usually comes to visit my mum but all of a sudden she stopped coming and I was young then, I didn't know the reason but my mum just told me is because she won the US lottery visa

We have contacted her and she wants to invite me but I don't know if I should agree.. In my first application I stated that I don't know anyone in US, can I change that in my new application that I know someone.

Travel elsewhere..... Dont waste another visa fee.

Go enjoy your holiday in Cape town

Tell him to open my thread he closed in 2017. By now I would have gotten 100 million views and saved millions of lives from this falsehood called the Amerikkan dream. They ban me for months also for telling the truth. It is only an insult when we discredit the lies of the American dream but the mods feel very happy to see thousands of Nigerians rant about Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen and Buhari. Far worst words have been used to describe Nigeria without any sanction but soon as I pull my AK-47 on America I become the most wanted person on Nairaland. I decided to look the other way when you quoted me.

You should understand that many peoples have given up on Nigeria. That's black man for you!

The way the people's in government are ruling is bad with no future.
Majority only believe in paycheck, only few have ability to go into businesses. Those that believe in paychecks will definitely choose the west over Nigeria any day.
Nigeria is a country with so many opportunities I agreed but only few of its citizens takes the chances. Indians and Chinese are coming in daily.

Govt also need to take some things seriously like roads, electricity and security. With that i believe Nigeria will be great.

Back in 1950s, when 1usd was 1naira, our roads and electricity was in good shape. Nigeria has more foreigners than any black nation.

I will suggest this thread should be closed......

Too many attacks and insults......

Comparison of the two countries is complete fallacy

cc disguy

Still on this matter.......

Some people get arguments liver sha!

The weak currency is making Nigerians running abroad, forget insecurity, economy issue or standard of living.

But some people like arguments sha.......
I think people should live and stay wherever pleases them.

What I noticed in the west is, even if you are lazy you will be forced to get a life, if not then u will become completely useless unlike Nigeria where we do anyhow.

Laziness is in the blood of Africans/ Nigerians....... We are only active when it comes to toto
