Even thou I’ve made my research on flagpole before we even applied for my wife’s study visa, it still didn’t prepared me for the stressed we went through (she followed me for the whole process, I felt for her )

I flagpole on the rainbow bridge (3hrs from my place) in Niagara Falls, I was aware you’ve to get there very early bcox Dey answer only 10 ppl daily n it’s not a 24/7 border, flagploing starts 8am.

We got to Niagara on Monday evening, stayed Airbnb n left for the bridge Tuesday morning around 5am. I got to the bridge n was number 18, i heard someone said he came 1am, aaaaah. I felt they’ll answer everyone bcox to me the queue wasn’t that much. I walked to the USA side to flagpole n came back to Canada side to complete the process by 8am. When it was time Naso cbsa officer handled a yellow paper to 10 ppl and told the others to check other borders or check back tomorrow, it was then my eyes cleared.

My wife suggested we should sleep der, that’s d only way we can be guaranteed of an early spot the next day. 10pm we went back to the bridge with two other Nigerians we met. We slept at the bridge from 10pm-8am, d cold was insane, again you can’t leave the bridge, once you enter you’ve to go back to flagpole at usa border. It was a pleasant experience at all, I felt like a refugee 😭😭😭

Finally 8am came n I was the first in line, the whole process took less than 10mins. The officer asked for my wife’s study permit, our marriage certificate and asked my job in naija, he even read the purpose of travel I wrote in my application. My work permit was issue for the duration my wife’s study permit is valid.

I did medical in Nigeria, the officer said that doesn’t count, I will need updated one. So my permit has restrictions, can’t work in strip club, Agriculture occupation n child care/health service field.

If you’re flagpoling in border that opens 24/7, it will be more convenient. You can go anytime n will be attended to. My eyes is still heavy after 3hrs+ sleep

Sorry it’s too long n ignore typo abeg.

Long shot!! Can someone that has experience about GIC ( guaranteed Investment Certificate ) please explain to me how to go about it In Nigeria. I want to buy GIC for 15k cad and pay first year tuition of 11k cad because I feel this would remove the doubt of insufficient fund. Please for Gods sake anyone with prior experience should help

Ucherity:
You told me yesterday to create another GCKey since the initial one was locked. Now i tried signing up a new one with the same username it gave an error that 'The Username you have selected is not available'.

Creativebelle:

Thank you

Hello everyone
Please I need your help and advice on a situation
I submitted my passport at DHL last week Monday but I got a phone call today and it was returned back due to incomplete documentation..please has anyone experienced this before? What’s the solution?


These are the documents I submitted earlier
International Passport
Photocopy of passport data page
BVL letter
Passport Request Letter

I didn’t add my biometrics slip because I misplaced the slip from the biometric I did in 2015

Please kindly advise on what to do next and what other documents they need.. I have 17 more days for this to be done
Thanks In advance

You didn't include a consent form.

These arbitrary numbers don't help in discussions and don't drive home any reasonable point.

For genuine travellers ( and others), you need to prep for possible questions and ensure you have the right documentation. Entry into any country is at the discretion of their border police so to reduce/eliminate the risk of rejection, PREP!

I've seen people on here asking about crazy scenarios e.g. getting a 4 month return flight booking on a '3 day conference travel purpose' and whilst I don't have the numbers on this, I can only believe that some of the harsher encounters people complain about is driven by historical abuse of the visas.

We need to push more accountability on fellow travellers especially around things we can control.


So bros, are you trying to say return ticket should be immediately after the conference? To be safe?

Yes I didn’t..
Is that all I need to add now?
Do I need to pay transmission fee since I don’t have my old biometrics information

mulberry:
I also think you need to pay transmission fee as same thing happened to me but i just resent my docs back alongside the transmission fee.

Waiting for their feedback. Hopefully a postive one this time.

Newbiein2016:
Yes. At the most, i advise you add a few days for rest/sightseeing .

You can change your return date to a later one after your conference as travel plans change.
