you were getting it right till you mentioned work badge/ID
i see people with that at the embassy, and i cringe!.
nothing screams deperation that going with your work ID n over dressing, like some folks you see in stuffysuits, looking out and place

TheCongo2:


Most likely scenario was that he was a permanent resident of Canada but was living and working in Nigeria. And when he applied for Canadian citizenship he misled the government by indicating he had lived 3 straight years in Canada. Then after that the Canadian government discovered his deceit and revoked his citizenship. This is the common reason many people have lost their citizenship in Canada.

Less likely scenario, he is a terrorist

Then again he can tell us what happened even though it is none of our business

TheCongo2:


In regard with the bolded, did you have to volunteer this info?

edimalo:

LadyGuinivere:


You have wickedity in your veins.

LadyGuinivere:

The US embassy is aware of our shitty traditions. Men marry second wives. Is it a crime? Yes. Bigamy is but who has prosecuted?

The issue you should be asking is, how does the situation pan out tie wise.
if they are Muslim its OK and she will be considered married and hence they will count as ties.

If they are Christians, then the "marriage " is a weak tie if is even to be considered as such.
However, the fact remains. she is inexorably tied to this fellow and if married to him under customary law, is well...married and not mentioning that would be misresentation.
Not judging but if she s OK with being a second wife and having kids, why should it be a secret?!

My friend in the USA is the one helping out with the invitation Letters, he's bringing invitation Letters both for Medicals, Energy and co. And having told him what was obtainable as regards to that invitation the Lung Cancer and stuff, he got me one for Electric and Power and handed it over to me today, judging by Programming energy and Electricity.

Polygamy is allowed in 12 or 13 states in Nigeria. Is polygamy legal in their state of origin or residence? If yes, what's the point lying when they can explain to the Consular ?

@maternal, I'm not a regular here and the post sharing my experience was my first post ever on Nairaland. There are always three sides to a story but I have nothing to gain from lying.

Like I said the interview was good for me and gave me closure so I have moved on and have no interest whatsoever in appealing. Luckily I have a valid U.S visa so I'll have my baby in U.S.

But I think it is insincere to insist on full disclosure regarding having your baby in Canada and then meet such prejudice. At least, U.S visa application process is not this prejudiced, and actually recognizes /permits birth tourism in their visa application process.

Please anyone who has disclosed childbirth solely (without any medical/health issue) as the reason for the visa application and received an approval should please share their experience.

maternal:


She got rejected for "financial assets, purpose of travel etc". Nobody knows her true financial situation but herself and the visa officer. Furthermore, this woman is clearly telling her side of the story. Last I know being rejected for financial reason is part of the law. Just because you feel she got discriminated doesn't mean she did, nor does it make your feelings factual. But I like how everyone is ignoring the Asian woman who racked up over 300k in hospital bill. Maybe Canada now wants people to have extra money in case the pregnancy doesn't go accordingly ? But like I said, it's not ones business to decide or try to figure out what the Canadian people want to do or agree upon. Nigerians like to criticize other peoples government, but won't open their mouths and stand up to theirs at home most of the time. Even if it is discrimination, what will you do ? You'll still stand in line to get visa tomorrow.

Well she wasn't granted a visa. But it's not for you to understand what the people of Canada has decided to do. This is what they're trying to avoid. Guess who's on the hook for this mothers bill ? The tax payer. Besides you're only hearing this posters side of the story. These border officers aren't fools.

There was no doubt about the purpose of my trip and the Visa Officer wasn't open minded so there was no convincing him. He was fixated on his position that Canadians do not like jus soli. So me telling him the history of Canada and how Canadians are originally immigrants (which he already knows), as well responding that Canadians also have their babies outside Canada and would continue to do so would have ended the interview faster, and with the refusal letter.

Birthright tourism is currently an issue for the 2019 elections in Canada.

Hello Everyone.

So I have decided to share. I did an online application in August 2018, did my biometrics early September. I had read the full seventy-something pages and seen where border patrol officers had thanked the ladies for their honesty after disclosing they were pregnant so in my cover letter (LOE) I clearly stated that I wanted the visa for the purpose of child birth.

I have a good job, have sufficient funds in my account, pension account and other investments which I clearly demonstrated through my LOE. I am a lawyer so writing a detailed explanation letter (with accompanying supporting evidence) was not a problem for me. I also have good travel history and have valid U.S and U.K visas. I got the U.S visa for vacation purposes so I felt let me apply for a Canadian visa instead, fully disclosing my intentions.

I got an interview invitation (which rarely occurs for Canada visa applications) and wasn't too worried as I thought they required some clarification regarding my application. So I researched Nairaland again for Canada interview transcripts. The only one remotely close to this was the guy and his wife who applied for a Canadian visa after they were denied U.S visa (after a birthing trip) and were called on the phone, and the guy disclosed that they will also use the visa for child birth.

So I attended the interview (using questions from U.S transcripts for child birth such as why Canada? budget for the birth? etc.). We were about 3 people waiting at their Anifowoshe Office; an elderly couple (I don't know what they came for), a middle aged man who came to retrieve his passport to collect his U.K visa, and myself. I was given an appointment time but I was kept waiting for more than 1hr:30 mins.

Finally, the visa officer had my time and began his interview. He told me that he will decide the application there and then based on the documents I had submitted and the interview. After asking preliminary questions like how many kids do you have etc., he asked why do you want to travel to Canada? A little perplexed, I responded that I had clearly indicated this in the first paragraph of my LOE, that I wanted to travel to have my baby in Canada. Then he asked, how do you think the Canadians feel about this? I responded that I know that there are some concerns in some quarters about citizenship by birth, but generally the Canadians are all inclusive. Then he responded "No, the Canadians do not like it. You come and have a baby and immediately the baby gets all the privilege of citizenship. I tried to explain that I was being honest and fully disclosing my intention upfront....he interjected "so we should disregard the feelings of the Canadians because of that". Anyways he want on about how it is an abuse of the system and disregard of immigration laws. I clarified that my friend (who had sent a letter of invitation) and my gynaecologist had spoken to doctors in Canada who were willing to accept an international patient, and that I did not intend to abuse the system and will pay all my bills for the birth (as I did when I had my daughter in US). He responded that whether there were doctors willing to accept international patients and regardless of if I pay all my bills, I will still be using government's assistance because all hospitals, unlike those in the US, are funded by the government. He reiterated that Canadians do not like birthright citizenship and that he was going to deny my application and a refusal letter will be handed over to me.

So I waited at the reception for the letter and it stated that I was denied because I may not come back due to financial assets, purpose of travel etc. but he had already clearly stated the reason for the denial. Lol.

So perharps when applying, you may want to state medical tourism instead of child birth outrightly because according to the Visa Officer, Canadians do not like jus soli.

graceyoo:
Please do i select tourism as main purpose of visit or other?

Hotstepper:


if you have read the thread, i think even on page 65, u will see that dr ayodele doew not take cash patients again .

Please people.should try nd read the thread before asking questions. Its getting out of hand now and very tiring which will soon make someone like me to even stop participating

Offendersyoung:
Only in Nigeria, president visit stops normal life

Eilenora:
I have gone through the entire thread 2ce and equally took notes while at it. Am asking for anyone with more recent updates since things change everyday. Eg no1 here knew that Dr Ayodele has stoped taking cash paying patients til I posted it yesterday. Reading the thread wouldnt have brought forward this information now would it? So dont assume. If u dont have the answers 2 my qstns just jump and pass abeg.

quote author=hajidel post=66229650]You had asked this same question and you were told to go through the thread. Therefore its quite obvious you haven't gone through the thread and I'm guessing the visa is not that important to you if you can't take the time to read through a mere 65 page forum that is full of all the information you may need to successfully get a visa.

Hotstepper:
Its a must...if u dont know any canadian, then u use a notry officer or lawyer
