slimmsyyetty:
Sorry about your situation, though.

The truth is that Canada study visa is no more a child's play. Gone are the days you can use about N15M POF to apply for at least 1 year course. Now the exchange rate is on a high side and Canada government has increased students annual costs of living to $20000cad which initially was 10k. Even when you would like to convert your vv to study in Canada, it is not cost effective too.

To apply for a study visa from Nigeria for the lowest tuition fee for 1 year course(cheapest school is $10kcad plus your $20kcad cost of living=$30kcad) would require nothing less than 35-40M naira POF because you yourself would be needing about 30M naira and you can't let the VO see the account would be empty after removing all the cost of study. Sadly, by September 2024, Canada government would be making it a two year course before you can get a pgwp(if I am not wrong)

Now, how would you a 23 years old be able to establish your POF before the VO CONVINCINGLY as self sponsored? What would you tell them you are doing to be able to get such huge amount at your age in Nigeria? What will you use as your family, financial and economic ties to make the VO believe you will come back.

Even with your VV application, as a 23 years self sponsor, what docs did you submit? Looking at Nigeria sytem, the VO would think you should either be in school or just graduating. What did you claim you are doing to get yourself a huge money to have sponsored yourself to Canada for a visit?

Don't let any agent deceive you having been obvious you are desperate. Don't let them give you fake docs because you go chop ban. Your age is a risk factor, so every docs you submit, the VO would thoroughly screen for authentication to know how genuine it is for you to have acquired such at that tender age in Nigeria. And Canada visit visa now is not about having 3m in your account. Things have gone haywire. Depending on the number days you filled in your application to spend in Canada for hotel booking, flights, feeding e.t.c will cost you about 15M POF, considering return flight is 3m and the exchange rate is high. Now where would you get this as a 23 years? How would you defend the money on how you acquired at a very young age IN NIGERIA??

If I must tell you the truth as my younger blood, channel your energy to Europe through study. There are some universities in Europe that have free or almost free tuition universities.

I will try to check some schools in Europe(it's not a promise so please, don't give me pressure on it as it depends on my free time) and put it here, then look for the thread of the country on Nairaland for steps and processes and don't waste your money on ANY AGENT.

I wish you all the best

Shalom!!!

At PEARSON AIRPORT Toronto POE

1 wicked lady and two other gentle men...

I noticed the lady was taken time questioning people and the other men's line was moving fast.. I was hoping I don't get to her cubicle but yoo, I was asked to go there..

Questions she asked..

1. Why are you in Canada

2. Paper that backed up your church program

3. Do you have a returning ticket

4. How many bags did you come with and what are the contents...

5.You mean I should grant you access into Canada with this your invitation letter.

6.. Your program is on the 25th and why do you want to stay for more 3weeks before going back to your county..

7.. where would you be staying in Canada..
As she was questioning she was asking to see the proofs that backed my claim...

She didn't stamp the pepper the machine generated after scanning my passport in ARRIVE-CAN machine but my brother's pepper was stamped because one of the gentlemen in the cubicle interviewed him and didn't ask him much question and didn't request to see any peper from him..

She sent me to other POE agents where many other people mostly blacks were sent too...
Meanwhile my brother was freed and has gone for our bags..

When it get to my turn, the officer asked why are you in the country and requested for my passport.... Immediately he saw my green passport, he shouted, Nigerians ..... They always claim to come for a conference and program and never went back to their home country and he knows i wouldn't go back too.... I acted surprised to hear they don't go back and said I have a job in my home country and won't abandoned my job... He said that's what they always say, that do i know the number of Nigerians he sees weekly that says the same thing, that I should come out plain and say the truth so that the government would help me... I told him that the truth is that after the program am going back to my home country to continue with my job... He said he is certain, I'm not going back to my country.....I told him a Catholic church invited me and the church can't be involved in anything illegal...He said people don't have shame anymore, they will claim they are here for a conference and wouldn't return back to their country and he is very sure I'm not going back and commanded I keep quiet immediately and said if I go back, he would become the president of Canada ..just that there is a policy that if a system has approved a VISA they cannot decline, he stamps it and and asked me to just go go go.. like saying carry your wahala and go🤣....

At murtala muhammed airport... We refused to pay at first and we were sent to their Boss and there the wahala started... He said we won't join the flight he requested for every pepper we have and even the peper of our invitee..We provided all and yet he didn't let us go...He insisted he knew we weren't going for any program and says he is uploading all our documents to their Canada site for verification ,that we should wait for their response..... Almost 1hour and it was almost getting late to board, we ended up paying 100k each for my brother and I and 50 us dollars for excess load.... 250k in total..

Chaii
After reading this message, I don't even know if to be laughing or crying.
People have so much bastardized the visit/tourist visa to the extent the whites don't trust us again.
Now, they will lump people like us who wish to go for harmless tour is US/Canada with those who bastardized the passport.
Honestly, I really wish I can another country's passport asap

Sir, it was you who posted this message last year when you arrive Canada , and yesterday you advise on the risks and difficulties in obtaining an LMIA. You mentioned that you are now a resident in a rural area of Canada. Someone asked you how you converted your conference visa to a resident or work permit, and then you started to delete all your previous messages online as if the IRCC or police were tracing you. However, we have read and heard that it is not illegal to convert a visitor visa to a work permit inside Canada , or are you claiming asylum too and somebody also said claiming asylum is not a crime but deportation of fail asylum seeker is real. So why are you Running?

The guy claimed to return to Nigeria to the Canadian custom/immigration officer and he is not like other Nigerians who defaulted, yet he is doing the same.
Which brings the question, how do you separate the shaff from the seed in this Nigeria? So that people like him won't make the western world lump people like together.

Milezwadup:

You don’t require medicals for a VV

OK thanks God bless

Congratulation but l see you been asking many question about LMIA but it very difficult to secure and do not fall victim to scammer..many racking on this group last year arrive canada nd could not get lmia or change visa and result to asylum to get work permit even with work permit many could not get a job she is tellimg the full truth and current job condition in canada that main reason the sister was rushing to delete her post as she fear ircc could use it against her on her fake asylum case..dont sell ur property..uk don reform asylum, germamy reform,ireland don say they will fast track nigerians processing for asylum as nigerian are the largest arriving and fail asylum will be deported...canada said they will reform asylum too as many arrive to claim asylum and speed up deportation and many lawyer already suggesting the canada reform will be brutal as we wait govt outcome ..a word is enoigh for the wise...safe journey!

You don’t need asking him much questions, they all filed for Assylum.

ednut1:
the average human is disingenuous 😅

Please sir, as a business man applying for vv, is it necessary to add some importation documents like bill of lading, purchasing invoices and etc

Yes o. Depends on IRCC.
When I applied alone with a valid USA VV, I got mine in 6 days.
When my wife applied later with our 3 years old daughter, she got hers in 8 days after biometric while our daughter got hers in 1 month time. Crazy right!!! So be patient, yours will come out right. Goodluck!!!

larrypha:
Hi all,

Does VV with valid US VV still take 2 weeks, my sis submitted 2 weeks nothing yet

thank you so much

Good morning guru's, please I want to ask a question please, my agent helped me to apply for a visitor visa but when I went to do my biometrics I wrote my email on the top of my biometric paper. So my question is if my visa got approved would I be the one to receive the email or my agent?

The email he used when filling the application will get notifications, the one you wrote on the biometric paper will only get it if same email is filled when applying. Agents are too wise to use their client’s email 😀

chiomapx:
Lot's of Genuine info to give out but you guys can't let people do that...

Nobody stop u for sharing info na u dey fear and deleting ur post ..if u arrive on visit visa , lmia is extremely difficult and u can get scammed ,school is possible if you get ur money to pay ur fees as most school require a deposit to issue PAL needed to apply visa and asylum will be harder now and deportation will be faster if ur asylum fail compare to the past..u can add or delete from this arugment.good luck

That your email written on the biometric paper is just for VFS. It does not count at all.

The main and important email is the one your agent used when filling your visa application form
