You can do it yourself. Many, many immigrants from around the world apply by themselves.

Good Evening Nairalanders and all the canada gurus in the house,
I am 7+ pregnant, and i got a visiting visa to Canada, will I be allowed into Canada at the port of entry? a friend said canadian officals wont allow me into the country since i came on a visitor visa and not on medical grounds. please i need help fast....thanks

If your intention is to give birth in Canada, it is very, very likely you won't be allowed in.
Note: there is a thread on giving birth in the US:https://www.nairaland.com/617280/give-birth-usa-cost-procedure

mizIvy:
Collected my passport today and it's a refusal. Reason is that: "I note that the balance of your account has been augmented by the payment of a large deposit of 1,323.454.12. And you have provide no evidential documents that show the origins of the payment .
you have submitted no evidence of your sponsor's income financial commitments. I have therefore been unable to assess the impact the sponsorship would have on your sponsor's financial circumstances and whether such a sponsorship is viable and credible. I am not satisfied that evidence submitted confirms the ability of your sponsor to finance you as stated"

Plz gurus in the house helppp! Cos i submitted my sponsors bank statement which is around 21M, my bank statement of 1.3M and other supporting documents.

Am confuse right now cos I have no idea what they meant.

PS: in the case of the large deposit of the 1.323.454 they are talking about, that was the balance in my account at the end of October last year. I actually notice it on my account statement after I submitted my visa application that on the 1st week of November d whole money was debited from my account n later deposited back in few minute later, of which I have no idea of. I Actually thought the bank did that. And I'm refuse cos of that which is frustrating n I don't know what to do. And I will really like to reapply again soon

Plz help.

Can you get access to bank statements that would demonstrate the entire transaction, from start to finish? That might help explain what happened.

House,
I need your advise on travelling to Canada on tourist Visa and use that opportunity to look for a suitable proffessional job. How realistic is this.
Honest answers please.

Not realistic at all.
By the way, there is a revamped immigration process in place for skilled workers, with much shorter timelines for the process than in the past. That would be a far better way to go about getting the chance to work in Canada. The nairaland thread >>>https://www.nairaland.com/1279130/canadian-federal-skilled-worker-program-timelines.

Get a tiny cooker and mini fridge and cook for yourself maybe? Suggest you want to improve your cooking skills for your future life; or you really like cooking and want to experiment with different dishes on your own, or something like that...

Got this info from an Air Peace associate: Customers can get a refund if they choose but it has to be processed by the corporate office. The ticket can also be used on a future flight since it's good for a year. No other airline except Air Peace provides an alternate flight to the east when they are unable to fly directly to Asaba due to bad weather. So the customer also has the option of going to Owerri and from there going by road to their destination.

nairalanduser: We (2 people) intend going on vacation this winter from the last week of December and hope to stay for about 12 days with a budget of 400k.
The 400k is to cover for ticket to and fro for 2, 1 room accommodation in East London and some feeding .
I need advice from people who have gone on holiday on a winter and in London to advice if this is achievable.

Can I get a very cheap hotel with breakfast provision for less than 20 pounds in East London? with breakfast included. it's easier to find a way around feeding throughout the day as I intend cooking in my aunt's place most times.(no intention of sleeping over at her place). I have checked online and I'm seeing very expensive prices. My thought was that since its winter, it should go down. If possible the hotel shouldn't be too far from Dalston market (but if it is, I won't mind too much if only the hotel price will be less than 20pounds per night. )

Which dependable airline can we get at like 120k naira per person for a round trip? Have been seeing usual mid year prices for airlines like BA, Emirates et Co. Isn't winter supposed to be cheaper? Someone adviced on Air jordanian but I checked people's review and it wasn't wonderful. I wouldn't want to get lost in air!

We also have an intention of visiting Edinburgh for like 2-3 days.

If we can get a ticket of like 120k, that means 240k for 2 of us. then with a hotel of say 20pounds, then a total of 12 days is 240pounds (about 70,000 naira). So far is a total of N310,000. With the remaining 90k (about 315pounds), we can use for transport to Edinburgh and other miscellaneous.

is this achievable? If not, what cost options saving advice can we achieve in any of the major hurdles mentioned above?

Please our oga's in the house we need more clarification on this issue...thnx

Re the PGWP question, check with your school or the CIC. Seems since June a one year Master's will get you up to a three year's PGWP, as happened for a kid who just finished their Master's in ON this year and applied for their PGWP in Alberta a few weeks ago.

charzyh2: @justwise,
Please, I am applying for a tourist visa and I need to know which of these do I choose:
1. Can my business associates, who I am his team leader in Nigeria invite me and also stand as my sponsor? He is a US citizen and I've never met him one on one. We only discuss through calls and chat.

2. Or can my dad who has never travelled be my sponsor? I am an ND graduate and I am just 21. I own two businesses and cater for my parents and siblings. I'm currently having my Industrial Training program in a state Ministry.
So, please, which of the two listed above is much acceptable and advisable to follow?
Please, I need your suggestions and advice. Thank you.

You've asked the same questions over and over, in all your posts to date, and have received many replies, including directly from the US NIV officers. It does seem you are extremely keen to leave the country, and that a 'visit' may not be all that you intend. You should be advised that hoping to use a visit visa to escape is a very big no-no, as you will have an extremely hard time scrambling to survive, if you manage to get there. Plus, such desperation will make you an easy victim of 'visa agents'.
You are an ND student. There are many threads in the travel section that discuss studying abroad in countries with low tuition fees, such as Germany, Finland, etc. Why not face your studies, save the money you're hoping to use for this trip and use it to further your education in these countries, get a solid degree and position yourself to live/work/study in the country of your choice, eventually? That will be far better for you than spending energy trying to figure out some way of getting people you've never met in the US to sponsor your trip, etc. All the best.

sainaF: Hi justwise. Please I need to ask you a few questions pertaining to US tourist visa. I want to apply by December as I am going to visit my elder sister. My sister is also a permanent resident in d US. I work in a private hospital with a salary of 80k for almost a year now. I am 28 years old. I have no property except a car. I have traveled to Germany on schengen visa in january this year. Please what are my chances of getting a visa!

Ubuikeja: Greetings,

Please help! I have chosen doctoresparati.com in El Paso but have a few questions? Has anybody booked the travel tickets using Expedia? Its mentioned on their website but i have never bought tickets so i am unsure.

My other questions is, I will be arriving on Aug 28, I have not decided where to stay. I have been told that Ramada and Intown are very close to the hospital but I also want to stay where I can meet more Nairalanders Please, is there anybody there now or is there anybody going around September For the people that have been there, where is the closest place to the hospital to stay? How far is it, and how much is transportation to my prenatal??

Re bolded, of course you can purchase tickets from travel websites like Expedia, kayak.com, etc. The only issue that might come up is, some foreign websites won't accept credit cards linked to Nigeria, so you might have to shop around (google for travel websites) or ask around to find those that do.

deebsman1: hello House, pls i want to rely on this thread for information flow from the experienced gurus in-here as i want to embark on my Canada student visa application cos i don't have any money i can give to an agent, i belief i should be good going at the whole visa application and processing stuffs myself. I already have an offer from Lambton College.
I want to know what the next move should be, is it paying the initial deposit stated on the admission letter first before applying for visa or i can go all the way applying for visa b4 the payment.
And also, pls can some1 put me through the initial process of applying for the visa? pls everything from the basics, like a novice that i am

temmytanny: she was born in 1988

And I'm guessing neither of her parents were British citizens or settled there at that time? If so, unfortunately, she's not eligible and will most likely need the appropriate visa for her purposes- study, visit, etc.

h0n0rable: Thanks guys (mamacajah n Tvegas) for your response really appreciate.

@Ifegy I don't know the section of the immigration act, but what the blue paper says is that we cannot appeal this decision at this time but however we can submit another application...

Now I know I have to answer "yes" to the question have you been denied before. then the box why opens?

is it okay to put it in this context that " Two things (1) I answered NO in my initial application instead of YES to been denied before (2) I have my DOB certificate available for verification with my current passport.

Pleeeease!!! Anyone with better WORDING should assist. Plan to submit another application today to get an early date.

Many Thanks.

Apologies as my earlier post may not have been clear. I thought they may indicated the section you were denied under on the document you were given, eg section 214(b), section 212, etc; each of which has different meanings/implications. Regardless, as pointed out, honesty is key in future apps.

temmytanny: Hi Guys,
I have a question to ask. My sister was born in the UK in the early 80s but she has only visited once and ever since she hasnt been able to go back. I was told she is no longer regarded as citizen because of recent law passed by UK govt,how true is that?
If that is true,what kind of visa can she now apply for if she want to return to UK?

You might want to give her year of birth. The citizenship law did change in the early '80s, so depending on her year of birth, she may/may not be eligible.

h0n0rable: Hi peeps, Need some advise on how to get out of an error have found myself.
Went for interview at the lagos embassy on Monday and our session went thus:

Facts: My husband current passport carries same information on old passport except for Age.
My husband really had stopped the use of the old passport and has kept his real Age on the current passport travelling to other parts the world except for our new decision to try US for delivery.
Year in question 2000, his sponsor gave him two task write SAT and get a particular score and he will take care of all other expense. which he did he scored 1360.

Question: how do we clear this air of mix up. we are considering re-applying and answering yes to the denial and explain. But how can we do it better and get it write. I want to have my baby in the USA and we can afford it?

Thanks early response will be appreciated.....

Do you know what section of the immigration act you were denied under? That might help with determining your options.

Pls I will like to know if its possible for a student to get into canada for studies and later transfer to a school in US after one year..
If yes, how possible is it!? Is there anybody that has done this before?
Thanks for your input

Yes you can transfer within Canada, outside Canada, etc.

nkechima:

thank you for the advice but I do not understand the last sentence......... l do not know how much research you've done, but is there no other more direct route to get wat U want?....... pls which other route do you suggest

thank you

Hi Nkechima, just to clarify, I was not referring to asylum. There are really no grounds for that, for anyone coming from Nigeria.
What I meant was, you wanted to do a certain program, then work, then go back and study what you really wanted. I just wondered if, maybe if you looked at a lot of different schools, you might find one that offered a way for you to immediately go ahead and study what you wanted. For instance, schools sometimes have bridging programs, where you go in, take a bunch of pre-requisite/qualifying courses, and then if you do well enough, go on to take the program you want. As opposed to doing an entire program you don't want and then going back to school. Because remember when you do eventually decide to go back after your 1st program, you will have to in some way still demonstrate that you qualify for the program you really want.
The other thing, which I think was mentioned (no time to read through all the posts), was the skilled worker option. There is actually a thread on nairaland for people interested in pursuing that: https://www.nairaland.com/1279130/canadian-federal-skilled-worker-program-timelines
Or just go to www.cic.gc.ca, the Canadian government immigration site, and read about it, to see if you qualify.
Hope this helps clear things up.
Again, no time to read through all that's been posted recently, so if all of the above have already been addressed, apologies for the info overload.
