A friend urgently need to regularize date of birth on international passport.

Thanks.

You need to be mindful of passport validity rule...@ POE.

Its 3months or 6months depending on the country of visit.

Please make findings on that for canada.

You said you have 8months left in your passport.

post=125101372]I think my case is different here guys listen up please
Applied for this VV in 2021 when I came back from UAE hoping that it will come out after 6months or thereabout but unfortunately it didn’t, I waited and waited but didn’t see any sign of visa approval so I moved on with my normal hustle
I was surprised when I got message from my agent that it have been approved thou he didn’t send me the message early, the 30days window is remaining 3days when he sent me the massage and the letter stated that they can’t give you visa more ya passport validation and guys i have only but 8-9months left in my passport and at this point of time I can’t go for the renewal because of the deadline, so I was left with no choice than to submit my passport
Hold and behold guys I got only but 1yr visa and that 1yr is remaining exactly that 8months on my passport
Guys this is the problem now, I don’t intend coming back after traveling by God’s grace, will this disturb me from getting LMIA job, will they reject me because of the short period in my passport? Can I renew it before coming or do I stand any chance to renew it in there while the process of LMIA is going on
Please your sincere advise
What are the chances in this my case guys ?

You can check IRCC website for info regarding 'Visitor record'. Its a type of VV extension application. It has its rules and eligibility.

oluayebenz:
I met a family of 5 today in London.
Next month will be their 6months in Canada.
They have tried all their possible best to change to work permit to no avail.

An immigration expert is requesting for 20k cad from them for LMIA job.

He's planning to extend his visitor visa stay for another 6months inside Canada 'pls is this possible?'

Because I'm just confused, I don't know the kind of advice to give.....

Please guys your advice is needed, will just be doing screenshot of any advice from here and send to him.

Abeg help a confused brother o

Online booking on VFS portal is required for passport submission.(physically)

Transit visa not required @ frankfurt Airport.

My Lufthansa flight itinerary is LOS>Frankfurt>YUL(montreal)>YWG airport.

I had to quickly call Lufthansa customer care when I saw your post.

You can call your Airline for further confirmation

Viking07:
Please do I need a transit visa to enter Frankfurt? My stop overs are Ethiopia/Germany then Toronto? Because I tried checking in online and it keeps asking for German visa 🤷‍♂️

You mean people can be deported?

Another was lucky. He had a revoked American visa but didn't carry the passport with the revoked visa. He almost saw himself in Nigeria as well. [/quote]

Visa wont exceed biometric validity date.

Blackfinegirl:


The validity of his visa is determined by the length of his passport and not the biometrics

VV application = 15th Nov 2022.

Thank God! at last it's BVL and PPR

There is a CNG dispense station opposite MTU/MFM, along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The station has been in existence for some years .

Healthquest:
interesting and very fine. Thanks

I wish car conversion is ds simple.


I would have move to CNG but do we have CNG dispensing pumps on our filling station like ds?

I've not see except for LPG

Kudos to you Gazuz.

In your evaluation , since Gas, is in kg, The 1Litre of petrol also needs to be converted to kg.

1L of petrol = 0.79kg

This cost comparison/ evaluation needs to be done with 1kg of petrol = about 1.27litres of petrol.

GAZZUZZ:
In response to the removal of PMS subsidy.

I have installed an LPG/CNG carburettor that also works with PMS (petrol)

Kindly note

Fuel tank emptied via the supply hose .

Scale set to measure lpg as it is consumed in KG

1L of fuel measured out into a gallon and will be poured into gen.

Same amount of load will be applied in both instances .

Timer set to zero.

I will start with LPG.... Will run for 1KG and I will turn it off once it hits 1kg on the scale the
mark the time.

Next will be petrol PMS, it will also run for 1L then I will mark the amount of time it took before gen went off.

1kg of gas = ₦650 (June 12 2023)

1L of petrol = ₦500 (June 12 2023)

Let's start.

Any questions feel free to ask.


Modified summary


Total time of LPG - 197mins at #650/kg

= #3.3/min

Total time or petrol - 106 mins at #500/l

= #4.7/m

Another way of looking at it .

With Gas

By calculation

1kg of gas at 650naira per kg lasted 3.17hours (3hours 17mins)

How many kg of gas per hour
650/3.17= 205.

Cost per hour = ₦205

I.e ₦205 of gas lasted one hour

*With Petrol*

One liter at #500 lasted 1.46mins (one hour 46mins)

Cost per hour= 500/1.46 = ₦342


Conclusion LPG cheaper

Personally gas is so safer than pms any day, but I'll have to put out this warning.

WARNING!!!!

LPG IS FLAMMABLE.

THE GAS LINE AND GAS CYLINDER SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM NAKED FLAMES AND HOT SURFACES.

WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GEN USE PMS ESPECIALLY FOR VALVE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

FINALLY THE END PRODUCT IS STILL CARBON MONOXIDE AND GEN SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN A CONFINEMENT, CARBON MONOXIDE WILL KILL IF THIS HAPPENS.


Happy independence day people .

Congratulations.

Angelic992:

TradeSunMoore:

Write a consent letter authorizing madam to travel with the Kids and include a copy of passport data page. Nigeria immigration may ask for it.

SWOP= spousal open work permit, the validity is tied to the validity of the work permit of the principal.

I don't understand why people say they want to convert TRV to SOWP so as to remain in canada forever

SOWP is not a travel document..you will still need to apply for a TRV.


SOWP is not a visa.


Hence, SOWP is not a travel document.


If you first apply for SOWP, and it gets approved, then your TRV aporoval is sure...cos your approved SOWP doc will be one of main supporting doc.


The real work visa is LMIA based.







quote author=Emmafe post=123102458]What do you mean by Sowp is not a travel document? Sowp is even preferred to vv for those with spouse in Canada. If you enter with vv, you’ll still need to covert to open work permit if you want to remain and work in Canada. [/quote]

SOWP is not a travel document...You still need your VV.

Don't withdraw the SOWP application.


SOWP and Closed work permit(employment based visas) aren't same.

Teekay20:
Good evening everyone, please I have a question. I applied for a visitor permit for my husband to come visit me since last year but when there was no response, I apply for the SOWP this April. My city MP already informed me that the visitor application has been approved since 26th April, that I should wait for passport request( the date they sent the bvl). So I noticed the eligibility for the SOWP started this morning. My question is will they withdraw the visitor visa they already approved if they are to approved the SOWP? Or will they deny the SOWP, since they approved the visitor visa? Thank you so much.

Please how much is a bag of a locally produced Dangote cement at the moment?

Well said

I posted this on purpose.
Many couples lack spice in their relationship
They wake up in the morning go to work, come back eat and sleep and put it on replay daily, so marriage becomes boring for them.
No special outings, no weekend relaxation routines, just regular boring daily activities and will complain that their partners are boring or cheats. It's simply because you are not ready to make your marriage your heaven.


I was one of those that believed that clubbing is one bad thing and is meant for prostitutes but I was totally wrong.
The first day my husband took me to a club, I saw people drinking and dancing. I was shocked to also see soft drinks, I was like, so one can get soft drinks in a club, that people have already labeled as a bad place.
I also saw an aged married couple, I was wowed, I loved the fact that they still make themselves feel young as grown parents.


Alcohol is a choice, being an alcoholic is bad but you don't have to judge people by their lifestyles.
I know most food we digest contains alcohol but what one must avoid is excessive intake of it.
I'm not an alcoholic and I don't know what alcohol drink taste like and I don't wish to know but I can't condemn those that love it.


The people who own clubs - did that with the intention of making people happy, believe me, a club is a happy place.
So much smiles, laughter and dancing.

It's a Shame that I don't know how to dance, I surely need dance classes 😄
