Great things happen here and thanks to all members of this wonderful platform for the generous enlightenment and sharing. Knowledge is power indeed.
I did everything mostly based on hints gotten from this platform.

A lot has been learnt and the key is planning, patience and most importantly consistency.

Applied April 2023

Hi Fam. Please am planning on applying for a tourist visa to canada. I am currently a student in the uk and graduating in March of 2024. I want to apply as a student in January. What documents and requirements do I need to put together for the application. I have been refused a Canadian study permit once before and also got denied visa to the USA once. Been to Southafrica and Dubai severally. Came down to the uk to actually get my degree after I got refused study permit in both the USA and Canada. Love the uk and looking to further more after my current program but I just want to go to canada just to prove to them that I never had any intention of staying back in their country. Please I need someone to guide me with the documents required. Plus I got family in canada but I want to do the application on my own and give them a surprise when I get it.

The process would be different when applying from the UK. Likely to be much simpler, search for applying for Canada visa in the UK.

Thank you done...but please I want a bit of clarification, I chose 2 people in the category and the site only allowed me to input only 1 applicant details and the biometrics letter they sent had number of applicant :1 written on it. I registered through my second email and as soon as I put the second details it says you already booked appointment. Please I just want to findout if the letter they sent will work for the two applicant. Please can someone help shed light on this🙏

When u were booking the appointment and chose two people, u were supposed to input the second persons details (name, passport no etc) after the first person under the “add another” tab but you didn’t do that. So now u have just one appointment and I doubt they would attend to the second person.

There are no hard copy forms anymore, the forms are filled online like a questionnaire
I doubt u need flight booking, however individual requirements differ from applicant to applicant( if u have. Valid US visa they only require ur NIN, copy of us visa, employment letter)

- Go ahead and apply online; I think it is easier that way than a paper application.

- Don't book a flight; you can generate a free flight reservation online.

- Can I generate a signed statement from my account and use it, or can I go to the bank and get a printed statement of account? Either one is fine.

- You don't need a reference letter.

- You will need evidence of accommodation. Hotel or hostel, it doesn't matter.

- I think so. 4 million naira is about 6500 Canadian dollars.

A nigerian man, who initially arrived in Canada on a visit visa and later sought asylum, has tragically passed away outside a Toronto shelter while waiting for accommodation. Faced the added challenge of adapting to the significant weather difference.he dead inside the tent sleeping outside on the street.
Given the housing crisis, many asylum seekers, now find themselves sleeping outside in tents. The harsh winter conditions in Toronto further compound the difficulties, emphasizing the urgent need for adequate accomdation and preparation before coming to canada,. The unfortunate incident underscores not only the complexities of the asylum process but also the housing problem in canada,, especially as the colder months intensify.
No let agent decieve you..canada currently facing housing and economic issues pls prepare well before coming real cold snowy winter coming soon , this not harmattan for africa.you cannot sleep outside in winter na die.

Sir,Evaluate two options: first, the expensive transition to a student in Canada on a visitor visa only if you can afford it ; second, seeking asylum with IRCC granting you 2 years of work permits, but exercise caution, as a failed asylum results in an automatic deportation order. Given the costly and uncertain Canadian appeal process, carefully consider your decision. For instance, someone arrived in Canada on a student visa and applied for asylum in March 2023 while many people said his hearing can take 1,2 years or more due to backlog in asylum applicant but surprisely his claim was recent denial 2 days ago just 9 month after applying , despite presenting evidence of a gay story after almost 3 hours of hearing before the judge with his lawyer , he now must navigate the costly and uncertain appeal process or contemplate returning to Nigeria. Plan strategically and weigh your chances wisely, as seeking asylum can be akin to gambling—there are risks of both winning and losing

Oh so sorry bro.

If an application has been refused based on the reason "Your application indicates that you have a debt to the crown", it typically means that the applicant has an outstanding debt owed to the government or a government agency. This could include unpaid taxes, fines, or other debts owed to a government agency

When do you apply and do you do it yourself?
