Uchboggy:
please house, i need some gurus to help me evaluate my girlfriends statement of purpose and give their honest opinions.

kindly indicate if you're willing to assist so i can send a PM. God bless you

Someone said Monday 21st of MAY 2018 is public holiday for VFS canada, .... anyone heard about this?

Appointment is LAGOS office , ONLY!!!

JahProv1214:
I just confirmed the information. Appointment is needed to summit Visitor Visa application. Which date did they give your spouse?

Try to base a particular situation on the right standard, Appointment is only for "LAGOS OFFICE", Abuja office is a "walk in and Submit", The appointment is due to the high volume in Lagos,.... In Abuja , You can be the only one in the office for about 1hr and there no Second person behind you.

xzile:
That's serious, looks like the crowd are increasing. In that case online route should be the best option considering time factor

Maybe i didnt get the meaning of "drafted" i assume it is the same as writing a new SOP, ... Submit the very same documents you submitted at first, avoid complicating issues by bringing in new things that were not in the first application , unless stated, They are humans. Another VO can even approve the very same thing another VO rejected. WAIT FOR GCMNOTES!!!!

rolorolo:
I never mentioned in my post that I will not wait for the GCSM notes.

I emphasized that I drafted another SOP in readiness for the GCSM note. Of course, I don't wish for denial in my second attempt.

Doing a New SOP without GCMNOTES? bad idea, the reason for you denial may just be for a document not included, and how do you know if you didnt wait for GCMNOTE? another denial.

rolorolo:
Hello House,

I started following NL since I submitted my TRV application in March. However, I must state that since March and now, I have gather more than enough information on this forum and I can certify myself as immigration consultants on Study TRV. I even went as far back in following thread 13.

Please I have an issue at hand. I was refused of my TRV on 10 May, 2018. Reasons for the refusal are:

Travel History and Statement of Purpose. Of course, I knew the next step of action. I ordered for my GCMS notes even before I picked up my passport on Monday but the note is yet to be made available to me.

Now to the main concern. I have travel history. (to Canada, Dubai, SA etc). I have been to Canada before and also, still have a valid Visa on my passport. I didn't stay up to six months, never committed crime (background check was completed without any flags) but however, had a baby. Could that be the reason why i was picked on travel history? Besides, all my friends who previously traveled to Canada on TRV for birthing purposes were never refused in their subsequent application. Also, my husband, son all have valid Visas to Canada. Could that be the reason?. Guru in the house, please I need your advice as I await my GCMS notes or possible response to the refusal if those identified above could be the reasons. If yes, how can I respond? Do I need to plead for not stating birthing purposes in my previous TRV application? How can I tackle this?

With regard to purpose of Visit, I have drafted another one as the previous SOP submitted was not convincing enough. I just adopted / built on another person's SOP who was also refused. The revised SOP is now finalised. Please can any of the Gurus in the house assist in reviewing this in readiness for my GCMS notes? I will send what I previously submitted as SOP and the new one I developed to the volunteer to see the extent of work and originality I have now done. I wish to submit my application latest two days after my GCMS notes are received as I have started collating all my documents again. School resumes 23 September.

Besides, I was awarded a scholarship of $4,000 and my sister, practising medical doctor in Canada is my sponsor. I was not flagged on ties in Canada cos I showed strong ties at home in form of assets n family members (husband n son) as I stated they were not going to accompany me.

You sit down and type like a Lazy that Buhari just quantified, You are part of the reason this country can never move, why are you urinating in your pants now?

swaggprofessor:
this is simply another idiotic aspirant or shud I n plain by calling him a lunatic that just forgot to take his meds!!! Does he know the current power of the country that he intends to increase to 24,000mw. I can't read other of his stupid promises cos they all un achievable

If you can go there and come back to Nigeria, It will be a good travel History for you to try again, but looking for a Job over there will be a tough one or even getting a permit, Though is possible, but you would spend more money trying to get that, in Accommodation and feeding yourself while you are at it, All round i will say thats not the best way to go about it, not with the visitor visa, you are out in the cold.

Mightyeagle:
Hello gurus in the house . I'm a regular reader of this thread and don't comment. pls I hav a pressing question I will like to ask you all and will need a detailed response soonest: pls I will be traveling to canada with Visit visa I.e through conference. and I intend to stay and look for work. pls I will like the gurus to help me on how to go abt it there and the feasibility of getting a wrk permit or work while I get to canada.pls every response will be welcomed and appreciated.thanks

It is still in your care, However you prefer to lay your bed as you lay, you prefer most.

SamReinvented:
For Canada, the timeframe is in calendar days, not working days.

What is Ebonics here now? dem don start, ...
Anyway, when is your Visa getting approved or how has the waiting been?
Thats why we are here, abi? Ekasan sir.

jnyuwa02:
What kind of Ebonics is this? What is pray for Express Sir? What am I praying for?

No be everything wey "fine" dey "Sweet", U wan know everything abi? Come pray for Express!

jnyuwa02:
I fail to get the correlation between going AWOL and one’s visa been processed finished. Shouldn’t that be an opportunity to share one’s testimony or share reason for denial and seek new perspectives?

Don't go with the "fat" account idea, I have a friend who applied with 15 Million acct balance, and another applied with 350k acct balance, The 350k guy got it.
This is the idea..... You account balance doesn't make you a regular banker, You cant is not a fixed deposit either, so are applying for a visa with the fat account balnce because you want to be seen as a rich and comfortable person in Nigeria, but that trick stopped working.
What makes you a banker is how the frequency of the money that comes into it and leaves it, Thats why down below you "Total Credit" and Total Debits", Thats what they look out for , That what proves you as a banker.

teabully:
Dextra like how muchh do u meann by fat account, pls specify

Do you notice Processed Visas are released in batches?
Denied or Approved!!!
By 5th of April, A large Batch was released, and everyone started coming with their testimonies and Regrets.
So the point is, Many people complain of Delays, and the fact that their application has stayed like 6 years at the embassy.
Your application has not being forgotten, it is on track and will be attended to, The time frame is 35 Working days not 35 days from Mon-SUN.
When you visa Takes 35 working days before you get a mail, you are 76% sure it is Approved, when it Takes More days, It may be that t requires more confirmations, still you are in the 76% positives, when your visa Takes just 2 weeks of processing, or a Month, it is a 45% chance of getting approved, so expect you application to take a while.
I am not saying this is a perfect signature of Canadian Visa, but if you have this at the back of your mind, you will be on a more relaxed mood, still anything can go wrong or go right for you in any case, and there are some people whose visa is withheld until what they want to do has passed, still doesn't mean you will get a Rejection, am sure 70% still gets approved.

Keep the hope alive.

Maybe He has Had his Visa Processed, Most Probably!
That thing can slow you down or Fast forward you.

jnyuwa02:
What happened to Frankrobbern? He has gone AWOL again.

Oya send The LOI make i see am.

Asapant:
Are u guys neglecting my messages intentionally.. I asked trice can anyone help me review my LOI.no one seems to reply my message.. Have I done anything wrong ? Guys I really need this help please....

You guys should kindly reply me..

Oh!, You have a denial?

1. What did you apply for before being denied?
2. Did you use an agent?

Money anywhere is okay, But trust me, This people dont look at your Money strenuously this days.

afehin71:
Apparently, I have been denied Canada visa before in 2016 and I hope reapplying doesn't mean another decline? Also how much is expected in the statement of account and are microfinance accounts acceptable too.

Surely, SOP, telling them who the person is and why you have to spend so much to attend the wedding, the side attractions of the wedding and how your attendance wil be special, In short, Let them know you will be using the opportunity to see Canada.

afehin71:
I'm actually going for a wedding of my friend's daughter and I have an invite already do I also need another statement of purpose apart from the invite

Do you know the Most people who get their Visa's Approved?
The normal Applications you will find in the waste-Bin!

3 years ago , a young lady was in front of me at the US consular, she was asked why she wanted to travel, she said, " I have never traveled anywhere before, My husband asked me to choose a place and i Choose the US, I want to see the White house" * i swear***, The interviewer burst into serious laff, and said, Please remember to take a picture!!!!


Leave all this Una seriousness ooo!

justwise:
Tell me the last time that joke worked.

A Nigerian wants to apply for Canadian visa just to go and see snow?

afehin71:
Good morning house, I'm new here on this forum and I am applying for a tourist visit so I kind of need advice on requirements...

Purpose of visit first, If it is for Pleasure.... No need for invitation Letter.

If you have someone inviting you, You need an invitation letter.

Start with the basics, but have a strong fronting, not flimsy reasons to travel.

You can even say you want to go and experience snow, I have seen it work.

@FRANKROBBN1

Died and 3 Days Later, Came back to Life.

Perfect timing.

Na lagos abi na Abuja sef u apply?

Pipedreams:
na i wont try again. i go enter US

So sorry bro, Maybe i hearing the way you are popping up on Nairaland (dont mind me). You could try again, maybe with a better packaging.

Pipedreams:
I have been refused. Chai my money o. Canada VOs God go judge una. Peace out!

Ok, and it is taking this long? Anyway, you have every right to remain positive, Not asking for your passport for over 40days
Maybe there is a backlog.

Pipedreams:
Its an online application not paper. Dey havent made a decision yet

If you feel, It is a simple thing to do, on the CIC website, there is a place to get in touch with them, it is even possible that it is ready.

Pipedreams:
no they said on the cic site that it is calender days not working days

FEB 13th to this day is not 40 days yet, The days you should count is MON-FRI.

Pipedreams:
my visa has passed 35 days that was put as processing time on the site. it is about 40 days now. should i write to them?

Dont give up, Keep going, The trip is for Business/Tourism, you may have to show some documents of Foreign transactions earlier

Peterpan231:
Just got my passport back, Denied second time, this time the reason is travel history, and purpose of visit, it's a virgin passport. Am done with them. Will look for my business opportunities elsewhere. Nonsense

Lagos Or Abuja?

Exline101:
I applied through paper route since 25th of January , i got a message today telling me that my passport is ready for pickup and i should come on or before Friday. Is there any chance that my visa is approved? Also i don't think i can make it to VFS for pick up till next week due to loads of work on my table , will that be a problem?

What was the time difference between the first application and second application?
2. How long before they Rejected her the second time?

with this assertions can be made!

GIFTY11:
Hello;
A friend just recieved her refusal letter today. She is devastated and heart broken.This is her second attempt for a student's visa for a masters degree at the university of ottawa. Assets declared and evaluated were more than 50 million naira( house and landed properties) plus parents account of 12 million fixed and personal account of 4 million, yet she was rejected.
Please any advice would be of tremendous help.

who is heading to Cameroun? , ...

Two weeks is a Good time to get a Visa Approval, be positive.
I once applied for an SA Visa, Friends and agents said it takes 3 weeks, In 4 days i got a Message for pick up, Everyone said it far too impossible to be an approval,.... I went expecting an approval, The funniest part was that i didn't even open the envelope for 2 weeks, not until someone asked me to open and access the "reason for Denial"!!!!
LIFE.

READ!!!

mcobex:
What's your point in this?

I have a question.... Is it a Miracle or magic that someone is allowed (in this case, VISA) to go and study?
In this case is it God or Merit?
It is High time we begin to differentiate between Laziness and Hard work in This country.
That is why you see someone doing Thanksgiving in the Church for VISA.

A Proverb says " An Impotent man who sees a pregnant woman, Knows he has a problem"
Nigeria is the problem, everyone wants to Travel out because the country is terrible, therefore we Misuse the opportunity when we get there.

Even though France made it Visa Free for the countries they colonize, How many of them is Rushing there?
Quit bringing God to replace "hardwork" it makes people Lazy.

Congratulations!!! God is too good!
