I was refused entry in Canada from the US while trying to cross by land and banned from coming in for a year, now I am back in the US and happy, trust me this is a blessing in disguise apply to the US

onatisi:
i dont think it was because of the account , think deeply maybe you provided a false information somehow and they got to know about it . secondly , you should have asked the embassy if the ban can be appealed , they will be in the best position to help you on that .

Bro I'm very sure its cos i didnt include d estate account at d initial stage cos the only mail they sent was that i should defend my cash flow with proof. Was y i presented d estate account

You got rejected for “funds parking”.

Unfortunately, to apply for a visa, you’ve got to make sure you can explain every single penny in your account. If you cannot explain the source, you are better off not presenting the account!

Decisions like this may be reversible but you need to check if there are grounds to appeal; if not 2024 is not too far.

These embassies are all thieves and they look for any flimsy reason to reject you. You have them a reason and they used it

madridsta007:


Think deeply and have a honest and objective review of the situation, did YOU withhold information from them?
If you did, they have the grounds for refusal.
If you didnt, then they do not. I suggest the following:

1. If you withheld information from them, then appeal and plead ignorance. The estate account does not appear to be a personal account, is it? You can simply say that you ONLY included accounts which was a single account in your name and not a joint account, as you believed that joint accounts did not qualify for submission. Try and search their reqiurements and find statements that supports this statement.
2. If you didnt withhold information for them, then appeal and state explicity while you think you didnt withhold information from them. Use bullet-points to state your points.
3. Appeal as well, perhaps on the grounds of this being your first offence, or first time of international application, you were not aware of all the requirements hence the 5 years ban is too much. You did not flout their rules intentionally.

But these will only be possible if they allow for appeal of visiting visa. I am not sure they do. You need to do your research on this.
Be HONEST with your appeal and include all evidences as much as you can.
With visa applications y'all NEED to be HONEST about everything you write in it. If you are not sure, write, "I am not sure". Dont go the Nigerian way of assuming answers. It will come back to bite.

I swear every information i gave was totally honest. It's only the estate account i didnt include cos its not a personal account.
Below is thier last paragraph,
"You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee."
I dont know if it means i can apply again immediately.

Worry na waste of energy. .try another country.

Canada is only approving 25 percent of visa applicants from Africa..unlike a higher percentage for Europe,Latin America or Asia applicants...So the slightest excuse is used to refuse your application. The IRCC has what some described in a recent report on the matter as having an institutional racism bias against potential applicants from Africa...its gonna get tougher and it ain't gonna get better.

IRCC gave resident permit to a convicted fraudster from Belgium which generated uproar when the Belgium authorities issued a warrant for his arrest in Canada...but genuine applicants from Africa without any criminal history will be denied visas for the flimsiest of reasons.You should know why..

When you go through this report you will understand my point

babyfaceafrica:
and you know this because?....people are denied visa sometimes for stupiiid reasons,but they just have to explain somehow

You can keep living the victim life instead of taking responsibility.
You think everyone is Nigerian.

Telling you , you withhold information is another way of saying you lied .
You lied about the amount in your savings account which are truly NOT ALL yours but actually your mum transfer some there for your account to swell ...that's deceit..lies !
Secondly, you should have printed your account as it is and then back it up with the estate account and the other account . ...probably with a letter from your mum that she would fund your trip ....
You screwed yourself

SarkinYarki:
Were you really going to visit ?

Yes.

Cherrybae:
Why did you withholds some informations. You should be blames for the visa deny. Next time behave like an educate person and like an illiteracy.

Nonsense

Tains, bae. Ur head is there.

I'm sorry but I think you are still withholding some information here. According to you, you submitted 2 accounts - your saving and your personal account, and you claimed you are a signatory to an estate account. With this, I couldn't see any reason why the estate account should be an issue, if you are being very sincere. The account is external to your account and there was no reason why there should be constant flow from the estate account to any of your account unless you wanted to get Visa by deception. The story does not add up, I feel you are withholding information from us.

MZEE01:
If I feel uncomfortable with your person and banned you from entering my compound, a further appeal to still come will justify my fear and would raise a bigger alarm.

You ara a sage. Germany is lenient in that regard tho. Folks have won appeal against them but it was an entirely different story.

mokt:



Bros don't mind these guys, just do what you believe is right to do. Appeal if they give you the option to, try again next 5 years. I will advise you visit any of these Shengen countries. They have less wahala and you can still smash white punanies there as well.

Thanks. And this is ur last sentence gat me LOL. Be like u dey read mind.

Hello ladies and Gentlemen.

I applied for a visitors' visa to Canada July 23rd this year.
Oct. 23rd, i received a mail from them that my accounts seemed fraudulent and they gave me 10 days to prove the accounts are mine with sufficient evidence. The accounts i used are my salary account and my personal savings account with like 400k in the savings and 500plus in my salary acct & savings acct.

So i replied wt a cover letter stating d accounts were mine and that most of d cashflow in my savings account were from the family estate account which has quute a huge sum and onlyi and my mom have access to, i printed out another set of bank statements with cover letters from the bank stating i was indeed d owners of d account with no bad record. I also got a cover letter from d Estate account stating i was a signatory and therefore had access to it with no bad record.

Yesterday, i got a mail from the stating i was refused d visa becos i withheld information from them and therefore inadmissable until after 5 years.

Dear gurus, can i appeal this? Cos i didn't withhold anybinfo except i didnt include d Estate acct d first time. I cant bear that refusal nor d 5 years.

If you have been given the right to appeal, then you can appeal the decision. However, there is no harm in writing them to state your points. You might be LUCKY to get a reconsideration. Concentrate more on how they have undermined your integrity than the visa denial so you don't look desperate.

SensualMan1:
U were refused cos uv initially been denied US visa for u, ur wife and daughter. Period!

Wrong. A colleague and his family were denied Yankee twice. They're in Canada now.

You can't just enter Canada from US without a Green card, US/Canadian passport/PR or Canadian Visa.

You wantnto go to Canada the total amount in your statement of account is 900 thousand naira..

You must be high on akure weed..better go buy henessy and Colorado travel in your dreams when high...

Ordinary two hundred level student that knows his onions will still submit statement of acct with 3 million there. New year is coming better start saving..

900k. Canada..even south Africa go ban you10 years. She na DAT amount you want take buy ticket or hotel or flex? Or shop

No go buy ogogoro watch champions league game.

Chelsea vs Valencia tonight. Order pepper soup..

We die here.

maybe they asked about his source of funds , and he gave a different answer from what he already submitted
that is enough red flag , because they will believe that if that was part of his source of funds , he should have stated it from the onset
but 5years is too much ooo
abeg waka go another country sef , even if na brazil

safarigirl:
and what if nothing happens years from now?

Do you know the population of this country? These people you are mentioning make up less than 1% of this country, what about the others?

What if he needs to be in Canada now? Or you think it is everybody that has years to languish in this shithole and hope the government doesn't fvck you over when you're trying to set up business? On the average, what is the percentage of successful startups in Nigeria?

You guys need to stop proposing all these fairy tales about making it one day and sticking it to everyone who rejected you at some point. The truth is, most people will not make it to that day.

Provide realistic solutions for the guy and stop filling his mind with all these motivational speeches that can't get him a visa.

My brother you are arguing with me who is privileged to have seen and lived and still living in the western world for more than 2 decades

Nigeria remains one of the places in the world to make it big doing business. Do you know the regulations that hold back people in the west from making crazy money unlike which is not the case in Nigeria? Take for instance you open a eatery in Nigeria or buka sef, apart from your once in a year local government levy you may pay ... nobody comes there to tell you to pay your workers minimum wage of N30,000 a month ... in the western world if you don’t pay your worker that minimum wage with proper tax documentation, you will enter prison so easily and your business may be taken away from you

Secondly... set up a shop and sell anything worth buying nobody will Harass you on Naija... not so in OYINBO land, you could go to jail for selling fake commodities... in Naija the market is huge, ask Igbo traders in Lagos ... even Labanese will not go to Canada when they can stay in Naija... but you that own your country is trying so hard to run away.... enough said ..

I disagree, Canada gives out more permanent resident visas via express entry but they are way stricter than the US when it comes to visit or student visas.

caringsce:

That’s not true sir! Canada is quite more lenient than US in granting Visas now. If you’re denied, there must be a cogent reason.

Well, you left out the estate account which appears to be in a joint account. Their argument is still valid.
DONT argue with them. Nigerians know how to argue even when they are clearly wrong. To the white man, tht is arrogance. And they hate arrogance.
Like I assumed, you cannot appeal a visiting visa.

BUT you can reapply. Be HONEST and open with every detail when you reapply.
There is likely going to be a section that says, "have you been denied a visa before?"
PLEASE state, YES. I am sure it would be a drop down box. Dont be "smart" about your answers, it wont work
And then CLEARLY state the reasons for the denial, that is, that you did not include your estate account because it was a joint account with your mum and you did not know joint accounts can be included.
Then add, "find attached the estate account with documents from my bank verifying the validity of the account".
Include evidence of STRONG TIES to your home country.
Then go and pray .
You should get it. All the best.

This person said the truth.

2024 is far abeg,make in try his luck elsewhere.. Europe Estonia,Germany,Sweden e.t.c

Please, who were you going to visit? What does that person do for a living? Can his or her income sustain both you and him?
Nigerians think they are smart. If you wanted to immigrate which I think is your plan, you had better apply for such visa. Applying for visiting visa only to chop aduro does NOT WORK again.
Canada is trying to accommodate those of our people who waka enter from US, so admitting others without means of survival is a NO NO!
Again the Internet is an open information platform. Do you think immigration officers do not read comments on social media? They know most Nigerian youth want to immigrate whether legally or not.

Officialgarri:
The truth is that, they do not have the intention of granting you visa in the first place

They just need to a legal way to defraud you.

Abi what's wrong with returning your visa application fee if they don't grant you visa?

Same thing with going to school and failing should they return your school fees?
