I took a trip from Houston to Ontario last week and decided to visit Niagara Falls. I just want to share some of the beautiful pictures I took while sightseeing. Backstory: In 2014, I applied for a Canadian tourist visa from Nigeria and was denied. The reason for the denial, as stated in their letter, was a lack of travel history. I was not bothered then, I simply used the money I had put together for the trip as the down payment for the Lagos HOMS flat I bought from the Lagos State Government that same 2014. It was a blessing in disguise. Fast forward to 2022, I strolled to the airport and flew to Canada without needing to apply for a visa or any advance travel document. Anyway, enough backstory. Enjoy! 1 Like

Quick Facts About Niagara Falls The Falls at Niagara are about 12,000 years old Falls were formed when melting glaciers formed massive fresh-water lakes (the Great Lakes), one of which (Lake Erie) ran downhill toward another (Lake Ontario). The rushing waters carved out a river in their descent and, at one point, passed over a steep cliff-like formation (the Niagara escarpment). The water began to wear its way back up the river from the original falls going over the Niagara Escarpment. The path it left is known today as the Niagara Gorge (a deeply-cut and scenic river path). Niagara Falls wears its way back another approximately 1 foot/year. The Niagara River flows at approximately 35 miles/hour (56.3 kilometers/hour). more pictures....... 1 Like

More facts.... There are two waterfalls in Niagara, the American Falls, and the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The combination of height and water flow makes Niagara Falls so beautiful. The Horseshoe Falls are 180 feet (57 meters) high and allow 6 million cubic feet (168,000 cubic meters) of water over the crestline every minute during peak daytime tourist hours (that is about a million bathtubs full of water every minute!). Man-made attractions of Niagara Falls include Maid of the Mist, Table Rock Scenic Tunnels, Spanish Aero Car, Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum, Marineland, Casino Niagara, IMAX Theatre, and the new Butterfly Conservatory. 1 Like

ishadfurnitures:Sorry, I don't know anything about Canadian Visa. As I mentioned earlier, I currently don't need a visa to visit Canada. |
