CuteRedd: That he didn't read the question well while picking an answer is understandable. I won't blame him on that, it can happen to anybody but saying he forgot his previous visa refusal, I find that hard to believe. 3 Likes |

Flattino: I am not contradicting myself. I guess you didn't understand me. Let me ask you a question, if you applied for a non-immigrant visa in the past, and you were denied based on the ground that you have no strong home ties, is this an offense on its own credit for anybody to omit such information from his/her application? I'm guessing your answer will be "NO" because there's no reason to lie about this. Apparently I did not understand that question properly. In 2017, as at the time I was applying to Canada to study, I was 27, I was living far away from my parents and siblings, and I'm a private person who rarely share his personal affairs with people. My girlfriend of course knew I was making plans to travel, but she was threatening to break up with me because she felt I was going to abandon her once I live the country. So I didn't show anybody my application to proof read, except for information I was getting on Nairaland which I have come to realize that all information you need may not have been written if you don't ask, and I did not ask because I was inexperience. It was a very honest mistake which anybody can make, and I am regretting it painfully. It has nothing to do whether the US and Canada share information or not. It was just a pure honest mistake on my part. 3 Likes |

Flattino:I fear una nairalanders, come on, how do you just conclude that someone is cunning, like what the hell. Also, this place is to help people, not condemn them of course except when they've done something wrong. This same cunning person came out very cleanly to the VO, at least according to what he wrote. I still don't get the main point of your post, are you advising him on the way forward or just to tell him he's cunning? 7 Likes |

lextube: Did Canadian embassy tell you specifically that this was the reason for the ban or it when you reviewed the whole situation then you realise this can be the only reason for the ban Those two different things.... if it the latter then .

LagosismyHome: This is what they said, and I quote; "Thank you for your interest in studying in Canada. After careful review of your study permit application and supporting documentation, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds: • You have been found inadmissible to Canada in accordance with paragraph 40(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of the IRPA. In accordance with paragraph A40(2)(a), you will remain inadmissible to Canada for a period of five years from the date of this letter or from the date a previous removal order was enforced. You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee". I only want to know if I reapply again, and present a strong argument about why I should be issued a visa, a vo may accept to grant me visa because I have spoken with some immigration lawyers , they said that normally it shouldn't affect my chances because America and Canada are two different countries even though they share information. So I just want to know if anybody have come across someone with a similar situation. 1 Like |

This is serious. This shouldn't have resulted in a ban. I would have just refused your visa and when your order your GCMS note, you would have found out the reason why you were refused. Our God of possibility will visit your case. lextube: 1 Like |

Order the GCMS note and find out the reason for the ban. Guys on the Canda visa thread can assist you on how to apply for this. I don't know anything. You will find out the reason(s) why you were banned for 5 years. Find out before you apply again. All the best buddy! lextube: |

yuscodguy: Why not Taxify your way down to the embassy |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Godsmercy11: 3:00pm On Jan 13, 2019 |
Actually taxify or uber would be better since you a stranger, should cost just 1500-2000 not too sure... There are different routs to get to the Embassy via normal taxi, either via Central Area,Maltama, Wuse or Area1 not sure which is faster ....... but i will give you the description via the Area 1 rout, get a bike from the nysc road to NNPC juction i think its 70 naira then use the pedestrian bridge , then take a cab to area 1 under bridge (200 naira)you might want to inform the driver you do not know the place so he doesn't drive pass. From Area1 under bridge take a tricycle 50 naira to Area10 Art and Culture..... the Embassy is not far from there or just from the Area 1 under-bridge take a drop directly to the Embassy should be 200 naira yuscodguy: |

lextube: Hi, People with <2.75 GPAs get funded by most other schools. Read the transcripts here and see their success stories. To be honest with you, I think the funding was a more serious reason for your refusal even more than the Canada stuff. The VO even asked you if you're sure your sponsor can handle the bills. That question shows he/she has some doubts about your sponsor's financial power and seeing your history with visa applications (US + Canada), it made you appear desperate. I never said your school is a bad one! Don't misjudge me. But honestly, if you do a survey here, you will discover that the visa acceptance rate for "small private colleges" here is lower than for funded students at large public schools. That is how the experience has been and sadly there is nothing no one can do about it. Even with my strong knowledge of US schools, I had to query Google to check your school and I know a lot of people here did that too. Your transcript was awesome - an acceptance on a good day! But if you finally decide to wait until the fall semester, consider applying and getting funded by a public university. With this transcript, you would have gotten the visa if it were a funded offer from Georgia State, ETSU, Cleveland State or a Tennessee State as opposed to a no funded offer from Touro College. And if they admitted you without a GRE, things may get worse when you are asked that question in your next interview. As for the visa denial stuff, I think you did well there by saying the truth. No one could tell the information the VO had about the whole issue. If you had lied, you may have gotten banned by the US too. That's all I have to say. 3 Likes |

bracelum: When you use the word being desperate, it sounds like my intention to study in either study in US or Canada is not geniune. Please don't use that word like that, it's not nice. There's nothing wrong if a person applies to Canada, and then decide to apply to US. Saying someone is desperate is very negative. Instead of saying someone is desperate, why not say the person is being persistent in chasing his dream which is a good thing. Please it's a mind thing, and the word Desperate is a negative word. Secondly, my sponsor had enough money to pay for my tuition fee for one year with plenty of change left in his account, so in my own opinion, I don't think it's the account. However, I have noted your opinion, and I say thank you. 6 Likes |
