TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by RuggedArab: 2:21pm On Dec 13, 2021
Biometrics was done in Abuja. Thank you.

TheExalted:
Yes but you will have to pay about 24k, 14k for the package to & fro, then 7k or so to the VFS Abuja if you did your bio-metric elsewhere.
Learnt Abuja is faster, you get your passport within a week. I submitted passport on Monday, I should have it back by the end of the day today.

You will pay only 4k however if you submit your passport to Lagos, assuming your bio-metric was done in Lagos.

Please can I send passport to vfs office Abuja with UPS?

hmmm..... thank you bro.

oluayebenz:
On a normal ground, if you are non Nigeria, you qualify for the visa 100%.

But as a Nigerian, your chance is 50% infact gan maybe lower.

Canadian embassy hardly issue visit visa for a young guy without travel history and you are even single......

Give it another shot anyways, nothing is impossible
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by RuggedArab: 5:40pm On Dec 07, 2021
Sure! Thank you.

TheExalted:
Note that you must explain unusual inflow into your account. The investment liquidated must be backed by evidence. Try and cover all loopholes prior to re-submission.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by RuggedArab: 12:51pm On Dec 07, 2021
I appreciate your input but sincerely using my mom is not a bait. We had even suggested we pay any of the airline she would use for assistance but she’s not so keen to that. This visit was suppose to happen last year but covid-19 and the nature of my job affected the visit.

I’m not married, I understand that part about the strong ties back home.

I submitted everything about my employment including a letter from my pension company except my salary bank statement.

I will reapply with my salary statement this time. How much would one need for 15days stay let me look if I can liquidate some investment
Gentlesoul3268:
My own perspective into this matter is using mama as a bait to manover is red flag. Why can't you apply separately ? Secondly are you married or having kids? Thirdly try and apply with your bank statements.

Submitting your employment is not strong because someone can easily do that on business center but submitting your salary account that shows your salary deposits every month and print out your 6 month bank statement.

That's my own little perspective...
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by RuggedArab: 10:54am On Dec 07, 2021
Yes, I thought so too. I will reapply and add my bank statements (salary and savings) and LOE.

aloskyyoung:
Their response was extremely fast for your application (12 working days) but I guess they refused your own application because you didn’t upload your bank statement.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by RuggedArab: 10:05am On Dec 07, 2021
Thank you, I appreciate.

TheExalted:
I'm sorry about your refusal. The red flag, i believe, is that you didn't include your bank statement. You should have included your bank statement. Not including it sends a signal that you're relying solely on your brother. Please re-apply and include your statement. The letter you suggested is also okay.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by RuggedArab: 8:51am On Dec 07, 2021
So we (I and my Mom) applied for a visiting visa to see my Bro who is a PR in Canada for a short stay. Initially I did the application through the old portal and days letter I found out about the new portal and applied again.

On the new portal we applied as a group (family), that was on 19th Nov 2021. PPR came 7th Dec for my mom and they refused me.

Reasons they gave for my refusal
- You will not come back based on your assets and financial status
- you will not come back based on your ties in Canada and country of residence
- you will not come back based on travel history ( I cannot do anything here really, I have not really had reason except for now to travel though)

Now this is the Issue - My mom is aged and cannot travel alone, we stated this in the application reason I am accompanying her. We are first time travellers. She is saying of what use is the visa when she cannot travel alone except someone she is comfortable (Family member) with accompanies her.

- I have a nice job (Manager position). I uploaded my employment letter
- my assets (Landed properties) are jointly owned with my bro in Canada. uploaded the docs too
- I have a running lease contract with MTN Nigeria. I uploaded the doc

So House, what else can I do in my situation to respond to them? Note, I did not upload my bank statement since it is my bro that is sponsoring the visit which he wrote letter of support with his bank statement. should I have uploaded my bank statement? Do I need to write a strong LOE putting emotions as to why my aged mom cannot travel alone and the visa could be of no use to her?

I hate stress, you see why I jejely dey my dey enjoying myself. I am going to spend money and whiteman is refusing me visa too!...... just for laughs grin grin

I NEED HELP PLEASE

galala123:
I did the same mistake and applied through the portal about a month later.

I believed they can run simultaneously. Just remember to include the previous application details as they suggested. They also stated that they will withdraw the old application but do not guarantee a refund.

I guess the answer lies in that statement.
Thank you.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by RuggedArab: 11:02am On Nov 06, 2021
Dear Sir/Ma,

I have a question bothering me right now. I made an application for my mom through the GCkey on 28th Oct and 24hours later she got biometric enrollment. Biometric updated 2nd Nov and I got to know now that there is a new portal site “portal” which is faster so I read here and from other forum.

I also read on the new portal that you can have GCkey profile and the portal profile too. I want to apply again through the portal for a possible quick decision.

My question is can these applications on different sites (GCkey and Portal) run simultaneously? Do I need to withdraw my application with the GCkey platform and apply through the portal or CIC will harmonize the application?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 18 by RuggedArab: 1:01pm On May 06, 2021
Hi Guys, I trust you all are doing fine.

This is my background:
First degree - Computer Engineering
Work experience - 6years ( Financial Analyst)

I am about to apply for a certificate program ( Business Intelligence & Data Analysis & Reporting) in Calgary coming winter 2022.

I have a sibling living in Canada for over 8years now. My sibling got houses ( reason I want to school in Canada) so where to stay would not be an issue.

I am the one sponsoring myself for tuition aside accommodation/feeding.

My questions:
1. Considering the high rate of student visa permit denial, what are my chances? The program duration is 10months.
2. What advise is the best for me to achieve doing this program?

NB: I do not intend to stay after my program

I agree with you OP on girls that are averagely active on social platforms. They are calm and coordinated.

Presently there is this girlfriend of mine that wants to take me on a date to Golden Tulip Hotel Sunday brunch with all bills on her. All I have to do is just to show up. Trust me, I know I’ll still pay the bills because I won’t let her do it. For me, she suggesting date with all bills her means she has already paid it in mind.

Like someone rightly said, “change your circle”. Though it’s not new to me for females picking up bills, I seldom allow them to pay. I have a thing, if you ain’t working class or doing a viable paying business (not selling oil perfumes or bedsheets) my d!*k won’t kick. I guess I’m badly wired!!!!

FamilyRe: I Hit My Wife by RuggedArab: 10:52am On Dec 16, 2019
Dear Op, sorry for the phase you are passing through.

Firstly, you are wrong for hitting her. women know how to push you to hit them either through their mouth or they come physically to challenge you.The ability to hold yourself in such circumstance makes you the bigger winner. The moment a woman start their excess and quarrel or wants me to engage them with words I will just tell you that you have won already, no need for battle.

If I were in your shoes I would have quietly leave the house and go to a nearby hotel to sleep till the next morning. I love my peace of mind and I would never trade it for anything. When coming back the next day I will buy her ice cream/Sharwama/barbeque fish to plead to the gods(my wife). If she rejects it I will eat everything without blinking my eyes. I am sure this will get to her.

You still need to apologize to her once more, but trust me this is the best time to lounge in your house. lol. For the fact that the mother and the brother came to move her outta my house i will not go to their house to apologize.

Women should should take it easy on men. You need to be out there in the street to pick the money. I have made good contacts(CEO's, decision makers, business men/women) playing snooker in some corporate bar/settings. For me staying out late sometimes is not bad, what is bad is making it a lifestyle or habit. Staying at home won't pay pilling bills; she will also be the one to abuse you and tell you how useless you are as a man. If you are a baller, let her know and understand that.

Cheers!!!!

Good day Ladies/Gentlemen,

I trust you all are doing great.

Firstly, I commend the help and information on how to get visit/tourist visa to Canada.

I want to apply for a visiting visa to visit my sibling that live in Canada and this is what my situation looks like.

-My sibling is a PR and works with one of the top IOC's in Canada.
-He wants to sponsor me (Accommodation, food, Etc).
-He can provide payslips, PR status, employment letter, bank statements and Etc
-I work in a corporate organization, so getting introduction/reference letter and payslips is not a problem.
-I have strong family ties. (I have landed properties, some in my name and others jointly owned with him, and I have a good job).
- No travel history.
- No visa denial

My questions:
- What is my chances of getting a visiting visa?
- Do I need other documentations or requirement?
-How long(3months, 6months or 1year) visiting visa can I get?
- I need a guide to walk through this process.

Thank you.

Hello RuggedArab. You do not have the required 48 months experience. Hence, EIT would be the right path to take, then go through the whole length of the process to qualify for PEng.

If you move to Alberta, you might want to explore occupations in your former IT role, especially if it is Engineering related e.g. Network Engineering or Telecoms. Your 2 years of work experience in that role may help in job search for an EIT position.
Thank you, Salford.
TravelRe: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by RuggedArab: 4:56pm On Nov 15, 2019
salford:
yes. Licensing vary to an extent, depending on the province you intend to reside and practice in. If you have landed or about to, you can send einsteino a pm, and request to be added to a group where licensing information are being shared. Answers to your questions on there will be better than a one size fits all answer I post on here.

If you are still in the pool, you can check out engineerscanada dot ca.
The site will give you an idea and a roadmap/flowchart on what to expect, and how to go about obtaining your license.
My starter province is Alberta because I have got strong family ties there. My challenge is I do not have enough Engineering Field experience ( Just 2years as IT lead and 5years in financial industry as Credit Analyst). In a bit to move away from financial industry I just finished my M.Tech, Electrical Engineering.

I have been going through APEGA site and the required engineering experience to get the EIT or P.Eng is my issue.

Many thanks, Bro.

Electrical Engineering (Facilities).

Are you licensed? I want guidance on how to go about it.

For accountants: It's just like applying for jobs in any other city. Only difference is that small to medium sized city vacancies would get fewer applications than big city vacancies.

I won't choose the career part of my unborn kids.
They will be what they want to be in the future but i won't sit and see them destroy their body all in the name of love or relationship.

And as for the born again part that is for my God to know.
Do you think you can control what your kids do in a relationship? Big No if you think otherwise.

Well, since you don’t know your stance in the other divide you can give him your virginity only on the point that you are fully convinced and he has done the needful.

As for the fertility, even medical results cannot give full assurance if one is fertile or not reason why some men insist the lady must take in. I can’t say on this because I don’t believe in “you must take in” before marriage. Sort yourself out, you are wearing the shoes.

I’m more concerned about the virginity thingy. This your pride isn’t worth 30billion so let the nigga blow the bloody hemen out!!!!!

Is not about the monetary or pecuniary gains of virginity.

It is about who I am,the person and personality i want my kids to be.
The pride i always cherish everyday of been one of the few different people in this sex saturated world.

I am sad at this your advice.
Pls don't push me into depression.
You didn’t address if this dude is genuine/real. I have seen girls/women who lost their virginity to their husbands which then was a boyfriend. No worries, it’s just one body count.

Your personality won’t change and don’t expect your unborn kids to live like you. This is the mistake most parents do; trying to persuade them to live a particular style/route (you must be a Lawyer or Doctor/ you must be a born again et al).

Are you a born again? Your reply with determine my next advise to you.
