Then he/she needs a Nigerian visa.

So nothing like visa on arrival for Canadian ?

optimusprime2:
This is where you get to see that unlike other countries, Nigeria requires a visa for "ALL" western passport holder's- US, UK, Canada, and EU countries all included.

In fact if not for Osibanjos intervention for business travelers to Nigeria, Nigeria's visa was ranked as one of the toughest visas to obtain in terms of the visa procedure difficuly- The inconsistency of Nigerian embassies also made matters worse.

I now see the reason nigeria lack foreign investors.

With that population nigeria should have a lot of foreign companies. Who will pass through hell just for nigeria visa.

salford:
you better go and get your Nigerian passport like everyone else. its costs between $96 to $130 USD.

The person visiting is 100% Canadian

bankole200:
Yes. visa is needed to visit Nigeria. Business/tourist visa will do. It can be obtained at Nigeria embassy in canada or at the point of entry to Nigeria(Visa on arrival)

Is that possible for Canadian ?

NewBea:
See me see question oo. So Nigeria is not a country abi

Lots of.countries grant free entry to canadians

Even south Africa is visa free for Canadian

Does a Canadian citizen need a visa to visit nigeria or just visa on arrival?
If not how easy is it to get a nigeria visa from Canada ?

Obi1conte:

Not possible

OmoBendel24:
Okay, good we are all fine here still. Actually came to see if Afonja has brought in fireworks, he hasn’t, surprised though. Well, well! Hope he allows the house remain peaceful....

Meanwhile, the Facebook presentation by the VOs yesterday or so, any take home? I listened to it now, will listen again before the holidays are over. Newbies, please do, there should be some help there methinks.

He might be banned temporarily

seyewest:
We don't attack people... these ''things'' Afonja is doing, shouldn't be used against everyone on this thread. He's grown up and if this is the best he can come up with I will advise people to ignore him.

I noticed some ignored him and he never stop to attack with abusive words even new comers.

He worth to be ban forever
The main man is just too cool @justwise

emily111:
This trend as been good but I noticed no testimonies of those who went for interview all this while.

Is it that no one here as applied recently or what.

Please don't stop sharing the experience with us how your interview went ooooo. Make we learn.

Who will post transcript here when the thread is now found to attack people.

Mods sef were not helping matters

megastu:
I dont think so. Mine was stamped at Pearson. I entered from New york, although by Air.

It's true.
Stamping of passport is not actually important anymore.
Some cbp might stamped you while some might not.

Stamp or not they have the records

mrprolifik:
PAID YOUR VISA FEE BEFORE FILLING DS160 FORM? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

He did the right thing

Beautyaddy:
Unfortunate about the denial.

Try other countries too like Canada, UK, Australia...if you main intent was for vacation only and not something else.

I noticed you always advice people to apply to Canada and Australia after US denial.

Those two countries visa are harder than US visa.

Like u go mean o
Dont double stress my people nah

Flying to YYZ next Sunday via Egypt air.
Any travel buddy?

It's very difficult using a sponsor from Nigeria on visit/tourist visa.
It's only possible on study visa

mumnadine:

Yes sure

But chances is very slim

What could b wrong?
Haven driven my car to work dis morning, i decided to wash off mud stain from d tyres n discovered smoke n burnt smell from d from passenger's side front tyre. P.S. Its a tokubor car n just started driving it. Could it be because of long park of d vehicle?

Yes I believe is because of the long parking
Your brake piston might be stuck.
It might later release itself thou

Maggiespecial:
Wow
So what do u suggest please
Which one should we apply for??

Your husband should apply alone if he can convince the ECO that he's travelling genuinely for tourism.
You has the wife can chill for now.

Or better still the family should go to France this year and later next year reapply to Canada.

People should make effort to share visa application timelines, experience and final results whether it is positive or negative so others can learn.
This is my own experience
Canada TRV (Visitor Visa)
Paper application.
1. Submitted my visa application and did bio metrics as a new applicant on 26-02-2019.
2. I received an email from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada regarding (RE: Validity of biometric information) on 02-04-2019.
3. Email of Final Decision Letter was received on 08-04-2019. Result: Visa was refused.
4. It is 09-04-2019 and I am currently waiting for the notification to pick my passport.

My travel history:
1. USA: Twice. 2016 and 2017
2. U.K: Twice. 2019

I feel even if you have a perfect application a visa can still be denied.
No visa application is guaranteed.
A visa is not a right but a privilege.

I have noticed visa applications with very strong profiles been denied by Canada.
Seems like a mass visa denial. Are they against Nigerians?

That bolded statement is the main reason you are denied.

Can you tell us what u omitted?
Cos if you reapplied without figuring out what that is you might be ban

Any good account statements?

Kezz15:
I applied via online route.
As a student , I travelled home/USA every summer
I left right after my graduation. Did not apply for extension,
Got visitors visa, visited my siblings twice. My siblings graduated and left too.
(Just completed MD school in USA)

My parents and siblings all have current Canadian visa ( regretting why I didn’t apply with them for my brothers graduation, never knew Canada will deny me).

It’s really annoying to say the least.
So I can’t even visit my friends or attend reunions.

My brother.

Reapply via paper route.
Tell them at VFS that u qualified for CAN+ submission.
Believe me your visa will be granted within a month.

Your application might be overlooked through online.
Canadian embassy are denying massively these days but with CAN+ your application will be well treated.

Kezz15:
Travel history: CANADA , USA( more than 10x like since I was a kid), FRANCE, UK (10 yers visa), CANCUN, ASIA (holiday), barabdos (vacation), Brazil (vacation),
Assets: I only put 1 Land but I added businesses (hotel buildings). And shares.

TBH I feel there is another factor that they aren’t mentioning. My siblings schooled and left Canada last year after graduation, Could it be that they’re still in the system and I’m not mentioning them?

Omg
Denied this kind of profile. Canada sef.
The fact is nobody can say or know what actually cause this denial.
I will advice you apply for gcms note to know what actually happen.
Moreover do you stay longer after your graduation or you extend your permit after graduation?

Do you applied through online or paper route?
If paper route you should qualify for Can+

Kezz15:
Hello, so I reapplied for trv after I was initially denied based on employment . In my second application I included my business and family businesses (I am a final year int’l medical student , so I only stated my student status in my first application).
This time I was denied based on family ties & financial assets whereas that wasn’t a reason in my previous application. (I am married with a kid, I submitted $30k usd and N10M). I’m not convinced about the reason.
Anyways I’m more upset because i attended HS & university in Canada (6 years) and I left Afterwards.
Also I visited Canada like 3 years ago and came back.
Could it be that me being a doctor and Nigerian, they assume I want to run away? Lol.

Are you serious with this denial

Do you have any other travel history aside Canada?
Any landed properties?

4tress001:
yes its confirmed, I applied for a 3month tourist visa 2weeks ago but am only been issued 1month right now.
Though I have rejected it and request for a refund while I would go ahead to apply for a direct employment visa instead!
I just wonder why a whole uae embassy came out to debunk the news couple of days ago whereas its trueeeeee

If u applied through agent you have been scammed.
3 months visa is still active
