That is not the fact, actually reading your post I can clearly see that your knowledge about home tie is very limited hence the reason many people like you make comments like this.

The same issue with countries that conduct visa interview...many of us Nigerians can not be trusted even with toilet brush, the same way we present fake documents is the same way we lie at the interview. Yes sometimes genuine applicants pay the price but that is what happens when majority ruined it for the good ones.

Please oga righteous you speak for your self i don't know those that use fake docs but my point still stands and clearly with people like you Nigerians cant stay honest because you ready to jump into generalizing statements and if you cant understand the sarcasm in my point on home ties then don't comment.

No rather many Nigerians need to be seriously told to stop submitting fake/forged documents because foreign embassies are fed up and can't trust us anymore.

No i don't agree,its true Nigerians do use fake docs but not all and that's a fact,and lie in visa applications is not peculiar to Nigerians stop believing stereotypes, the immigration system makes it hard for honesty they put all kind of flimsy requirements that don't translate to life here what do you expect,for example telling people they don't have enough ties to there home country, like wtf man this is my home, am i from the moon?of course i have ties its my freaking home.Have you ever wonder why they don't do interviews?They don't even give applicants a chance to explain there selves Its not everything you blame your people and fact is when you see a fake doc you will know that's no excuse for there actions they are inconsiderate.

On the contrary, it is difficult to secure the Nigerian visa from outside. I invite foreign nationals very often.

They often pay through their nose to get the visas but like 5 to 10 working days processing although they hardly or never get denied.

That's my point they pay a lot for our visa but are very sure of getting the visa and they get the visa and i know because i have a friend over and they don't go through half the stress they put us trough and don't waste time waiting, that's the way it should be,we pay a lot too and getting all the docs ready is not free and a lot of us travel to lagos or abuja for it so you know the stress,if we start refusing a lot of there applicants like they do to us they will change,the fact is Canada embassy needs to be seriously cautioned they are actually taking advantage of us.

I have been a silent follower of this thread.
But I have to make some few comments.

Visa denial is not the end of the world...i know because i have been denied before too.
I have been denied in Germany, Canada and Spain (July 2015) in that order.

The good news is I have had other opportunities, yes opportunities, to visit all these countries again except Spain, the most recent.

As many might think, I do not see any special favour or grace in securing a visa.
If I get it, I visit...if I don't, I move along...it's not the end of life.

Cheers.

You are right but with the effort put into the application there refusal is just pure inconsideration. I feel that they are just using us to make money,Canada VO are notorious in refusing visas,my brother is in Finland as we speak we applied the same time. If our government cared they would do what mexico did make it hard for them too and watch as things will change Lol...

Got back my passport was denied,sad. But i feel better now,it sucks been a black man oh nothing we do in the eyes of these people is enough Lol.Wish you guys success in your applications

Very quiet on the forum. The waiting is a pain in the ass tho,but victory is ours.

thanks for the reply. but what do you mean by job and strong home ties? for job, I don't work at the moment but I have HND in mechanical engineering.

Canada VO are interested in one fact and that is you will come back home after your visit.You need to show them you have a strong reason to come back home,it could be your job or property you own or family for example if you have kids or wife.Just try to convince them you are not going to stay there even if they know you most likely will. And how are you going to finance your trip since you don't have a job? You need to show proof of finance too.Go to there website and read very well before you apply no just rush.Goodluck

Yes its very possible,she should send you an invitation,but you need to work on your end to establish a strong case for yourself.Like job,strong home ties and the usual stuffs .You will be fine.
