What will be asked are general questions you already filled duration your application. POE experienced is ntn biggie if you were truthful during your application. If you claim you’ve family in canada, if asked about your accommodation, just state you’ll be staying with them. If you claim you’re financing the trip, make sure you’ve the money in your account. We don’t need to panic o.

Please I want to travel to Sweden on tourist visa but my cac is not up to a year older ,can I use it ? And is it necessary I pay tax clearance ? Because I am not sure you have to pay tax clearance for a new registered business until the 3rd year

Please locate the Sweden thread, you’ll get a first hand information there.

mizGene:
Let's not scare ppl. Anyone can carry 2 luggages if they wish. That is standard travel allowance and no one will question that.

You are correct in this regard, but when you claim you don’t know anyone in the country and you’re only visiting for 7 days but have two big bags full of clothes, that might call for a secondary check. You might be lucky to pass through without any issue, but this not a good thing to do.


This is one of the reasons most of our people are being turned back at London's Heathrow airport.

I applied from Ghana

My brother it was done december 2021. uote author=Emmafe post=123000192]It means there’s issue with application fee payment. It’s was either paid with fraudulent card or there was a charge back. Did you pay it yourself or used agent?

Try to pay the money, write a good letter of explanation and send it via Webform, anything can happen or just submit another application.

Also when did you apply and when did you get this message? [/quote]

Carrying food stuff for your spouse shouldn’t be a problem if your spouse was the one who invited you, unless you stated otherwise in your application. POE is very tricky. I almost got deported in 2017 at Dulles Airport in Washington DC for carrying a folder containing all my credentials and certificates. The immigration guy ask me why I had to come with all my certificates if I had the intention of going back to Nigeria, I was speechless for a minute before I use werey port am. Only God saved me that day! And for anyone that want to use a one way ticket go Yankee or Canada on a visit visa, just have it in mind that your entry into these countries na 50/50. If by mistake you are ask about your return ticket and you can’t provide it, Omo forget it! U will be separated and interrogated like a criminal before you are put back on a flight back to Naija.

Makibarbie:
Wahala. What if one intend spending a month there. Will it also be an issue at the point of entry? I am visiting my spouse who is a PR and my luggage will be more than one oh.

Unless what you have is not a visitor/tourist visa, then you might not need a return ticket. It’s called visitors visa for a reason. And while you stated your length of stay in your application, it’s your duty to have a return ticket back to your home country. CBSA don’t deal with emotions, they will pull out your visa application right in front of you and if your words differs from what you stated in your visa application then that will be a big red flag and reasonable grounds to deny you entry. Things happen so fast at POE, and u might not even have the opportunity to make contact until you land back at Muritala Mohammed Airport. Even as a Canada Permanent Residence, I was asked my return ticket & evidence of accommodation at the Heathrow Airport, London while I was on holiday last August.

josephb:
She is speaking the truth, you need to understand that; the people whom you talked to on phone are different from those you will meet at the Airport, well you said you haven't travelled before, you need to see how these Airline(s) attendants act at times you will be frustrated, nonetheless you might be lucky to have your way around.

Best of Luck.

Luggage claim is done after passing immigration so I don’t think it matters. The important thing is just the follow the airline’s baggage allowance.

Emmafe:
I’m visiting my spouse not Tourism, my proposed visit is for 3wks, the distance between her birthday and our wedding anniversary is 5wks. I can tell immigration I’m yet to decide if I will be waiting till our anniversary or not, reason I didn’t book a return ticket.

I understand booking a return ticket is good to be on the safe side. But it’s not listed anywhere as a requirement. Worst case the officer will mandate you to book a return ticket. I don’t think they’ll send someone back because of return ticket only when other documents ticks.

border officers have the authority to deny entry to any tourist at their discretion. In fact, during my last trip to the USA 4 years ago, I witnessed a man being refused entry because his conference date did not match his ticket. The border officers searched his luggage and phone, reviewed his certificates and chatted with his friends, and ultimately concluded that he had not been truthful in his application and intention to visit the country. As a result, he was sent back to Nigeria.
Unfortunately, not many people share their negative experiences online, so it may be difficult to gauge how often people are denied entry. However, it is important to recognize that border officers have the authority to make these decisions based on a variety of factors, including their suspicion of a tourist's intentions or misrepresentation of information on their application.

Is like you have not seen when Immigration officers at POE separate your luggage for extra scrutiny, when an officer have the need to do so.This is a personal experience I had in the past. How on earth should someone carry two luggage’s full of egusi & locust beans for a 10 days visit as stated on your visa application. If you have plans not to return back, there are several African shops you can purchase all dis things. There are even logistics companies you can ship your personal belongings and foods from naija and you receive them in Canada in a week or so. Why take the risk after waiting 1 year for PPR and sweating to buy a plane ticket for over a million naira. Not worth it!

For about couple of weeks now, news about getting bvl and ppr has reduced drastically. Just the chats of flight tickets and luggage.

God please ooo

After receiving bvl since 4 days ago, this is what i saw after using the tracker

I hope you realise you pass through immigration and border control first without your luggage?
Your luggage will only be pulled in if you already are picked for secondary inspection.

It’s just to wait.. Got mine since 25th..

They will definitely send it.. just go n check for flights and accommodations while you wait.. I also suggest making your destination airport Toronto cus it looks like flights going there are cheaper.

Guys with regards to the info I shared earlier

This info are for those that are traveling alone and have no one in Canada.

If you have family or relatives that can assist you with all these then disregard.

And all the info are on the IRCC website

Thank you 🙏

Please, after the passport has been stamped for visitor visa, do they still issue letter of introduction for the POE?
