Please i need your opinion. My passport would expire in February 2022, but i intend to travel to Nigeria from Canada in December. I know going to Nigeria won’t be a problem but I don’t know about coming back in to canada. I wanted to renew in Ottawa but seems the calendar is booked up, and i don’t know if it would be possible to get my passport on time if I choose to renew back home. Can i enter canada with less than six months? I am a permanent resident

6 months passport validity are usually for visa issuance.

I assume as a PR you have your PR card.

So all you need is a valid passport.

If I get your question right, Nigerian immigration that I know won't let you travel from Nigeria if your passport validity is less than 6months. Please make proper enquiries. I've seen too many people turned back at the airport because of this.

So I could get turned down even if my passport is still valid for 2 months?even with a valid PR card?
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Queenmama03(f): 10:40pm On Aug 09, 2021
Yes it's very possible. Try as much as possible to renew your passport before or after you arrive to avoid disappointment.

I think You can travel. The 6months validity applies when you are applying for a visa.

Full disclosure - Not a Canadian Immigrant cheesy, but I know a company that has a product you guys will like love!

Kaoshi (www.kaoshinetwork.com), enables its Canadian users to Send Naira, from any bank account in Canada directly to their beneficiary's Naira bank account in Nigeria.

How? We’re a digital peer-to-peer platform that enables the Nigerian Diaspora (e.g. you in Canada) directly swap their currencies (e.g. CAD) with Nigerians in Nigeria, who have Naira but need your CAD. All transfers happen in real-time, in a safe and secure manner.

By the way, it's not just Canada Kaoshi, enables transfers from - 40+ countries worldwide as well.

Happy to answer any questions!
When you have the one that can send naira from Nigerian bank account to CAD in Canada, please contact us. This one is already a service in surplus.

Good day everyone,

Please I need help from anybody who can do so.

I am an applicant from the student visa for the Fall resumption and my application have well exceeded the standard processing time.
I took our famous nairaland step of emailing the Mps and was lucky to get a positive response from just one office.

My dilemma:
The office just requested for additional information from me to enable them follow up with the application, my date of birth and my address where I would stay in Canada.
I haven't booked my flight yet not to talk of an apartment.

The expected help:
Please, abeg, ejoor, mbok, biko, any resident of Halifax Nova scotia to help me with his or her address so I can send same to them. I don't want to miss this opportunity of their help as it has been known to spun visa officers to work.

I am willing to forward the mail trail to any helper as proof.

Why don't you just explain to them that you don't have an address because you are not in Canada yet? It's that simple. Don't take it for granted that these guys can understand another person's situation. What you shouldn't be doing is lying using another person's address.

MP only assists constituent who reside and pay tax there. Do you or your spouse fall into that category?

You can use your school address. That was what I used (I also made it clear that I am an international student) and it was fine.

Not in all cases. I got help from my MP as an international student who is yet to arrive into the country.

Some people have applied for visa, Canada inclusive, with “virgin passports” and were successful and some people have also been refused on ground of lack of travel history.

Just shoot your shot, you may hit the bullseye.

Hope this helps.
