Hello to you all,

Pls I need a piece of credible advice from those who have applied for visiting visa from Nigeria this 2023,

With all honesty, I want to know if one will get the Canadian tourist visa within 3 months or what is the expected average time to get the visa {not what is stated on the embassy website but reality}

What is the eligibility percentage of securing a visiting visa for someone with no family ties in Canada?

What about Conference Visa? How easy do applicants get the visa from Nigeria and can it be easily converted to a work permit in Canada {this is for a friend}

Last, who knows if truly Canada offers work visa to applicants from Nigeria. We all know our agents will not tell us the true picture of things just to extort money from their clients. Will offers be given for unskilled to skilled jobs and how long does it take to get a visa and what conditions should be met ?

Then for someone who already has a Netherlands MSc degree with no solid work experience since 2015 but has a small start-up company in Nigeria and want to relocate to Canada, can he apply for a Postgraduate Diploma course and not have issues regarding visa grant? Cos he cannot pay for another MSc and would like to go for a programme without thesis since he already has acquired SUCH in Netherlands. He just needs a professional certificate but should be recognised by the Canadian embassy for visa. Can someone please say if he should apply for studies again and is it true that students who do not make an initial deposit for their tuition will be sent back home at canada airport even if it is a no=deposit programme ? pls i will appreciate honest answers to all my questions. Thanks!

IRCC Canada doesn't follow any rules as per the timeframe when processing applicants' visa applications because some people who applied for visas this year, in 2023, already know their fate, while others who applied as far back as 2019 are still awaiting for decisions.

Is it possible for you to get it within 3 months? The answer is yes, but I don't want you to hold on to this because the current processing time for applications from Nigeria is 779 days.

Please stay away from all these agents who are marketing Canada work visas because most of them are nothing but fake.

I must say this: I think I find it strange for an MSC graduate to apply for a postgraduate diploma.

Except He doesn't want to declare His Msc, not declaring might have a negative impact later on, especially during His PR application.

Please house what do I need to send to VFS for passport stamping? and how much

,,I got the email from the email I wrote down when I did my biometric

Well they will only send msgs to whatever email you used for your application. So if you got a msg via that mail, it is the same one you have definitely used to apply and you can try to use it to recover your details, abi I'm missing something

Can someone please list out the countries one can visit with a canadian visa.
Thank you

Loool, it can only give you access to some few places, like Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and the likes, although it’s also a powerful visa but not as powerful as a Schengen, UK or USA.

Also a Canadian Visa can be used to enter the UK when you are on a transit to Canada, you can request for a 24-hour maximum at the Heathrow Airport. (Must hold the boarding pass for the onward flight, Onward flight must be within 24 hours (on the same day or the next day before midnight)
Granting the 24-hour entry is at the sole discretion of the immigration officer).

Oh! Thank you for your honest replies. We are grateful for this direction.

Okay now, for the guy who had an MSc from a top university in Netherlands, he has tried Canada EXPRESS ENTRY but to no desirable results for years so what should he apply for to enter Canada LEGITIMATELY & QUICKLY since work visa from Nigeria is almost impossible and also does not have family ties in Canada and not yet married:

Should he apply for:
a) Conference visa as a listener and his visa applications be approved
b) or a professional MBA/ Executive MBA (is he eligible for this and can he choose a cheap one and not be denied a visa)
c) Tourist visa

2) There is a couple who are planning to travel and want me to also throw their plight on this platform:

Husband only has an undergraduate degree (BSc) from a Nigerian University; Wife had both BSc and MSc in the UK plus a discontinued MSc without thesis Programme in Turkey in 2019. In addition, the wife has a small family-owned start-up company whose services are mainly done online.

They consulted with a travel agent. The husband wants to apply for a postgraduate diploma in Canada. Is he eligible to enroll for such degree type? This was suggested to him by the agent due to his sponsor's financial account.

Then the agent suggested the wife to apply for a programme too in Canada because he claimed that she might not be given a visa to accompany her husband who is going to study. They do not know if their agent is only saying this to charge them more. They googled on their own and found that as a dependent, she could opt for Spousal Open Work Permit as a dependent travelling along.
Pls is it true that if she goes for the Spousal visa, she will not be issued a visa and if you two are skeptical about someone with an MSc graduate opting for PGD. I dont think she should apply for an MSc programme as well. Pls your advice. Many thanks

The first question, if you check the Canadian study thread you will find out that most guys with Msc (Some of them declared the Msc) applied for PGD OR PGC and still got the visa, but my own concern is the long term effect.

Secondly, the husband can apply for PGD OR PGC whilst the wife applies for SOWP, no need for the wife to apply for any study since she has a higher degree already.

Thank you for your reply. Long term effect as in how please, That is why i came here to find out things i need to know so they do not encounter any problems.

Good day family! I have a concern that I need candid suggestions!
My PPR landed before I realized my passport was no where to be found. I quickly applied and a new one was issued to me but it had a different passport number. I sent a webform and attached the new passport and a copy of the old passport before proceeding to submit the new passport at the vfs office in Ghana. But it is taking long for my passport to come back. Those that I submitted with have had their passport back since last week Thursday. My tracker has not been updated with the new passport details I provided. Can I still send mails and webforms ? Am getting concerned!

Hi guys, so my brother was granted 6 months visit visa last year even though his passport expires till 2027. They still gave him 6 months,, well that's not even the issue. He was unable to travel within that 6 months given so it expired.

Now he wants to apply again but he's worried if he'll be granted the visa since he didn't travel with the last one issued.

Please what's your suggestion on his issue?
