I want to thank God and everyone who’s instrumental to my success story, especially @Omonss. She was very helpful when I put calls to her and I keyed in to her speedy testimony as well. She said, “put yourself in the VO's shoes, will you give yourself visa after going through your SOP?” and I confidently said yes. And to the gurus here; @Makano, @sweetjj, @lekiboboe and everyone here, thank you very much for the opportunity to learn a lot about this process. I encourage you guys to be hopeful, faithful and of pure spirit. It’ll reach all of us one by one. WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST‼!

All the best.

That's the reality about travelling to Canada many never reveal.

Initially, the stay gulps money. But once you find a job that pays alright, you'll be fine.

Thanks for the response

Scott99tish:
It’s a perfect timing. Exactly 1 month.
No issue with that.

Hello roberto

1. Your Biometrics is valid for 10 years, so you have no business going to Lagos(VFS) as you can apply online from anywhere...

2. If you wanna apply now, why not. I will advise you to apply now so far your LOA is ready.. When your Visa is out, you will have sufficient and adequate time to prepare before leaving your fatherland..


Peace

robertito7:
Hello all, please I have some questions about applying for visa.

1) I was already did biometrics in 2020 and I want to apply online. Can I submit my application without going to Lagos? What are the pros and cons of applying online against going through vfs

2) My academic session starts in September 2022 when is the best time to apply

God bless us all

Excellent! Thank you so much

I went to thier office last week and got a date for next week Monday, just go there early enough 6:30 and put down your name and email address . The crowd is so much,that explains why they aren’t picking call or replying mail.

Scott99tish:
Middle name should not be an issue...
Except there's something to it.

Apart from full name on statement of account, there's always Home address there too.
So you should be fine if it's your account and not some similar name sumchin

Jay316:
I have replied bro.good morning .A lot of ppl send me DM.no vex

not seen your reply yet.

What course are you going for this January in UCW?

And please, the supporting documents I need to attach to my visa application, do i attach them into my SOP or there's another folder for me to attach them all?? I'm kind of confused.

Please help. I plan submitting my application this weekend. Or next latest!

Benquip:
I think this Ethiopia crisis is all false as it's just Western media propaganda. As Ethiopians who're on ground said everything you're seeing in the news is just propaganda.

May God Bless Africa

Aside that,Airports are always kept safe.Even in Afghanistan. Kabul airport is very safe till date.There is peace in Adis Ababa and its safer than Imo state as I speak

viviangogos:
Yes they are really expensive. I guess you booked Ethiopian before the issues.. hopefully by December, it should be sorted but still if you were to book now, would you still book them in the midst of a crises But omo, their rate is too enticing compared to the others...

Adiss Ababa is very safe.I did a little research. aside that,nobody targets International airport during conflicts like this including even terrorists cos the whole world will come 4 u.The problem is internal not terrorism. it's a Civil war that started since last year November. no b now the war start

Good morning all, how much is $150cad to Naira as of today? And how did you pay for your application fee…. I mean since I can’t use my normal debit card

BobLeeSawagger1:
Hello Great People,

First of all, I want to thank everyone on this platform for the knowledge sharing. With God and the info on this great platform made it happen!

I got an ITA from Saskatchewan in 2019; I submitted my application but was rejected based on settlement funds. This was so painful because I had the money, but I transferred it to an investment account and failed to include LOE in the application. The key learning for me is that" ALWAYS EXPLAIN EVERY SITUATION TO THE VISA OFFICER AND DON"T ASSUME THAT THEY UNDERSTAND."

Fortunately for me, I received another ITA the same month (Feb 2021), the same month I got the rejection letter, which the process is still ongoing, and I'm hopeful for a nomination before the end of the year.

Not having all my eggs in one basket, I applied to Humber and Centennial College and got admission to both Colleges. I decided to go with Humber College.

I reached to an agent in Toronto to assist with the Visa application (Study visa + Visit visa for my spouse and two kids). He quoted $1,500 for a study visa and advised that I go first, and in three months, I can apply for my spouse (Open work permit) and kids (visit visa). Because I didn't want to leave my spouse and kids behind, I decided to DIY for my study visa and visit visa, for my spouse and kids - which I strongly emphasized the need for my family to accompany me for one month in my SOP.


Confirmation of Online Transmission: May 12, 2021
Submission Confirmation:May 12, 2021
Biometrics Letter Collection: September 27, 2021
Correspondence Letter for study visa: September 28, 2021
Original Passport Request: September 28, 2021
Original Passport Request for spouse: October 5, 2021
Original Passport request for kids: October 6, 2021

I was banned in the UK for ten years and the ban will expire next year, February - an agent messed up my application.

My spouse wrote my SOP, and we worked and prayed together. I am so happy that I did the application myself without paying money to anybody.

QUESTION: I plan to change my spouse's visit visa to a work permit once we land. How should I go about it? Is it advisable to do an upfront medical and take the sheet along to Canada for the application? Or, can she do flagpoling? If yes, how should we go about it?

Thank you.

we thank God 4 everything. please dont try to change a Visit Visa to work Visa.i heared IRCC always frown against it.if u want SOWP, let ur spouse leave after one month.ur kids can actually school on visitors Visa since u have temporal residency Visa nd ur study permit. make sure ur wife does not overstay her Visa.try not to jeopardize ur PGWP in future cos that one na d koko

eclint:
Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssss

Try Barter by Flutterwave.

Or if you have someone legit you can trust in Canada or anywhere outside Nigeria, they can help you pay for it.

Hello All, I need urgent help. Though this might not be the best forum but it is my last resort as I am unable to reach VFS via phone or receive any response from mail. My dad's visit visa has been approved and he is not a resident in Lagos but he already sent his passport to a family in Lagos. I need guidance on how to get his passport submitted, including fees to be paid to VFS. Thank you.
