adeakin: True. Sometimes now, I have to open my window in winter. I would take Canada's cold over Nigeria's heat any day. I can't function in heat but there are always ways to navigate a cold weather. And to think I was so worried about winter before emigrating. . .SMH 13 Likes 1 Share |

folla: First thing I need to tell you is your situation is not that difficult, so don’t let anyone scare you. You are seeing your family soon, stay strong and hopeful. (1) Your finance has to be strong. You have 3 kids, so you need to show a very strong bank statement that demonstrates you being capable of taking care of your kids and yourself. (2) if you did not do this in your initial allocation, your wife needs to send you a letter from her school and her transcript in your next application. This will prove she has registered for her courses and fully active. Also, has she paid her tuition for the session? Trust me, that is also a big factor. If she has not finished paying her fees, please do ASAP and attach evidence in next application. (3) If your wife is staying in a place that is conducive and can comfortably accommodate you and the kids at the moment, you will need to attach the lease of her current apartment. Otherwise, you can explain on the same letter stating you will be getting a bigger place once you arrive. Also point out that you have money to pay for the bigger apartment. Your bank statement comes in here. (4) Your wife needs to get a letter from her school stating the -ve impact the absence of her hubby and her kids is having on her mental strength and adjusting to the new environment. Her Dean or program coordinator can easily give her this letter. Yes, she thought she could cope without you guys but now the reality set in and she has observed that she needs her family closer to her now than ever. You can add additional details and this will address the non accompanying issue/ concern which the Visa officer mentioned. (5) Visa officer mentions issue of not finding work to support yourself and kids. This is a valid concern by the visa officer with the growing cases of covid plus the recent Omicron virus. This is why I mentioned earlier, you need a hoooge bank statement. Showing a hooooooge bank statement will easily take care of this concern. I will strongly advise it has to be a bank statement that can easily take care of you and your kids for at least some months in Canada. It is important you are specific and very detailed in your LOE. For example; On or before your arrival to Canada, you and your wife will get a comfortable 3 bedroom apartment that will cost $1,500 Feeding for yourself, your wife and 3 kids will cost $1,000 monthly. Total monthly spend = $2,5000 Based on my calculation above, I have $50,000 that will comfortably take care of my wife, myself and my kids on arrival to Canada for X amount of moths and …….. These visa officers, you need to spell it out for them in such a way that even a lay man will understand. (6) Visa officer mentions not coming back and other stuff. Do you have properties in Nigeria? Do you have a land? You will come back and do business in your country. There is always something to do back home, explain. Explain all of the refusal reasons with a detailed LOE with subsections and you are good. I know a very close family here in Ontario with 5 kids. Hubby (late 40’s) was the first to come to Canada on study permit. Wife applied to join him with their 5 kids but got refused. She applied the second time and as I speak, they are in Canada. As we speak, the family will be getting their PR soon via the TR to PR pathway. Oh, lest I forget, the wife is a Nairalander. Happy holidays. 42 Likes 4 Shares |

Good day everyone, please I’m about traveling with my family to Winnipeg, I have some concerns as I have two kids aged 4 and 2. How do I get them into a school or daycare center while I work? Does anyone have an idea of the average cost of kids school fees at Winnipeg? 2. Please what time of sim is advisable to purchase for myself and spouse? Do we get individual SIM cards or we go for a family plan 3. Also has anyone traveled with palm oil? How did you carry it? 4. Are there banks I could open an account with from Nigeria? 1 Like |

LadyIE:3. The palm oil is frozen, 4. The major banks will only open for you after landing as a Nigerian, you can contact national bank if they still open for those yet to land. |

I don’t know if I’m late with this information but it might help someone, if I knew earlier I wouldn’t have made some silly mistakes or missed my cousin’s wedding. So if you want to RENEW your American visa, the Dropbox option is still very much available. I thought I needed an appointment date and with my Naija mentality I just assumed e go tey. Only for me to try 2 weeks ago and realized I could do drop box. Anyway it took just 1 week for the visa to be issued. Please note that I put RENEW in caps, if it’s a first time application you need an appointment date. I did mine in Calgary incase anyone is wondering. Thanks for reading lol 9 Likes 1 Share |
