I understand the 5m is in treasury bill but I mean in your personal bank account statement which u press ted, how much did you have as balance and is your account well run? The VO wasn't probably interested in your treasury bill but I think personal bank statement would have been better but you can only use your treasury bill as a support to show proof of fund.

I have just one account with which I carry out all my day-to-day transactions and at the time of application, it had a balance of about NGN200K which I presented.

It's possible (and I had also thought about it) that the VO who processed the second application, disregarded the T-Bills investment even though the certificate gave the date of liquidation. So I'm thinking to wait until when the investment liquidates and the sum is paid back into my account before reapplying, along with the land gift deed which I have already started work on.

$3000 is way too small to present as bank balance or Bank transactions? This two things are two different things, $3000 is a big sum of money as a bank balance in Nigeria, but not enough as a bank transaction for the 3 or six months period.
People get visas on 200k bank balance. Dont be derailed, order your GCMNOTES.

Seems like you are not understanding me. I presented N5M as available funds and not $3,000. Please take the time to read my initial post, guys. I already ordered the GCM Notes too.

Are you applying to visit a family/friend or for tourism?in your personal bank statement, how much did u present as balance? I think the $3000 is too small

Hello gg4real. Of course, $3,000 is way too small an amount to present as bank balance.

I am sponsoring myself and presented my treasury bills investment of N5M as proof of funds and only just indicated on the application form that I was budgeting $3,000 for the ten-day trip.

If you can request for the GCMS report for both applications it will do u good. Same reasons were stated for my sister until we requested for her GCMS report and therein lays the true pic of her refusal otherwise we wud have just keep reapplying without addressing the main reason for refusal and she wud have just be getting refused

Thankyou, ladylco. I already did that for the second refusal only because I pretty much covered the concerns of the first refusal on my letter of explanation. I just decided to get the ball rolling with the land papers while we await the Access to Information & Privacy report.

Get a lawyer to prepare a deed of gift/donation/transfer for you. If the land is already registered in the state land registry, you can proceed to get the consent form and approval of deed.

Thank you so much Agbaletu, for the lightning fast response. All I know for now is that she has a land survey document dated March 1988. I'll act accordingly. Many thanks once again.

Hello, fellow Nairalanders. A very Happy Fathers' Day to you all. I have been searching for a while now and think I have finally landed on the right thread. I must also commend the great job you guys are doing here.

I would appreciate your help with a few questions I have. I already applied twice for a Canadian TRV and have been turned down both times. The reasons given the first time, were 'Travel History' & 'Purpose of Visit' while the second was 'Personal Asset & Financial Situation'. Anyway, I actually did present enough funds invested in Treasury Bills (NGN5M) and stated in my appplication that I was budgetting about CAD3,000 for the trip of 10 days! On the other hand, I however failed to present my land papers so I can say they actually got me good from the 'Personl Asset' angle. The land is in the village and I would have to start from the scratch acquring the necessary land papers. I simply can't start this process given the limited time I have to make this trip. On the other hand, my mum has an already surveyed land in her name and seeing that I am her only offspring, is ready to have that transferred to me. Is this okay? If so, what's the best way to go about getting the necessary transfer documents? Will a sworn affidavit of transfer suffice?

I would really appreciate your help with this, guys.
