ooh really can you share more light on what happened, are you going to turkey direct or it just for transit cause heard of some people use this route and no case like this

Atatukseeker:
Make sure your luggage’s and everything is clearly genuine and you have a genuine reason for traveling. I’ve used that place to travel to turkey and I know what they did to me. And God shake them because my hands are clean. This people called Turkish police to detain me when I land and check me very well. It was the Turkish police at the Turkish airport that told me they received a signal of a Nigerian using Cotonou route. Please make sure you are traveling on a genuine root. Nigeria Lagos and Abuja is always the best to travel from. Be careful out there. Nigerians are hated by all this afric nationals. You might even miss ur flight during interrogation

Good morning folks.
I submitted my application on October 6th.
Biometrics: 26th October. Though I have done one before that will expire in 2027 so I opted for another Biometrics.
Received Passport submission request today 9th November.
I just booked passport submission appointment.

Travel History:
Valid USA Visa used in July this year.
Expired unused USA visa
Expired UK Visa.
Expired Schengen Visas.

Glory to be God.
Thanks for the info from here as well.
I never used any agent in my life. I am an advocate of doing it yourself. Be patient and diligent. Check every detail.
I was rejected by Canada in 2017. I reapplied in January 2020. Covid-19 came and that application is still open till today.
USA has rejected my applications 3 times in the past.
UK also rejected me once.
So I reapplied to Canada this year.

Keep the hope alive.

Good luck to other expectants.

U HAVE DOWN WELL. let me just give u small advice .
try and be paying yourself salary to your other account from business account run it for like 4 to 5 months and retry

Brispy:
- Itinerary ( which has some typographical errors)
- Tickets to 1 of the 9 activities I intend to do in France , I have No tickets to the other 8 activities, I just wrote it )
- Purpose of travel
- Cac, my id , my company’s letter head introducing myself and tax certificate .
- Past travel visa ( Dubai ) exit and entry stamps
- Flight and hotel reservations
-10million bal 3 months statement of account with $20k dollar account
- 2 separate lands documents with pictures describing the purpose each land serves
- Two cars payment receipts I bought on an auction website
-Travel insurance
Should I have added more ?
My reason for refusal is “ The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable “
I think that has to do with my itinerary ,I’m supposed to travel for 10 days but the heading of the itinerary was “ 5 days travel itinerary for ( my full name ) “ it ought to be written as “ 10 days travel itinerary for ( my full name ) “
And another error on the itinerary is , the only ticket I booked online is scheduled for 19th of November but it was written on the 21st of November , I didn’t even know how I made such mistakes, so I guess all of these errors confused the visa officer
But let me know your opinion guys
I attached a copy of the itinerary for better understanding
I added the tour ticket as well

have you submitted your document

1blackboi:
