STILL ON CANADIAN EMBASSY IN NIGERIA
Canada is a preferred destination for many travellers in recent years, millions of people visited Canada each year for a variety of reasons, such Tourism, visiting family and friends, vacation, relocation, studies or for business or investment opportunities.
Regardless of your motive or reasons for choosing Canada you need a visa to achieve your goals. In making decisions to travel to Canada, the best thing to do first is to embark on comprehensive research and information about the place, their system, their weather, the financial implications and why you intend to visit Canada.
Secondly, it is better to bear in mind that the Canadian visa process is comprehensive and long in processing, therefore, you must commence your preparations far ahead of your travel to allows for faultless documents and information presentation.
Furthermore, if you’re going for studies, let your sponsor aware of the fact that the statement of account you’re attaching with your application to the embassy must have a reasonable account balance, (not just a turnover) realistically about seven millions naira after the payment of your school fees may be acceptable. Importantly, the least balance of 7m must be constant in the account until you arrived in Canada.
Having a reasonable and stable source of finance carry a huge impact in scoring you and deciding your visa fate.
Please sound the note of warning to your sponsor not to withdraw the fund indicated in the statement of account submitted beyond the minimum balance below at least seven million nairas after the presentation of your application to the embassy.
Yourself or your parents are the best sponsors, however, a guardian or any other person familiar to you should be acceptable.
Payment of the visa application fee and other charges at the Visa Application Centre are compulsory, ask questions and be sure the appropriate changes are paid.
Your family tie to your country and ability and provision of reasons for returning to your country carry a lot of points, therefore, take it seriously. Do not under no circumstances you present information or documents that are not verifiable.
Due to the comprehensive nature of the Canadian visa application processing, the use of an agent may be inevitable, however, make sure you and your agents are in constant touch and all documents and information required must be to your knowledge and inputs.
You must be there to do the biometric and the application submission personally, it is a grave error to leave the whole processing to Mr know it all.
Also do not use an unseen agent, such as those on Internets or based abroad. Most of them are fake. Some of them collected money without the authorisation of the school, their networks are perfect that it may be difficult to detect fraudulent practices until when it is too late.
When making your decision bear in mind that you’re applying for a visa of a country that is the most sought after in the world, therefore the competition must definitely be very high, be frank, be genuine, submit your papers but don’t be hundred per cent sure of visa issuance.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE
Do not start the process without checking your eligibility. These are basic conditions to be met before labouring yourself further:
1. Do you have criminal records?
2. You must have an international passport with reasonable months of validity, taking into consideration the long process ahead.
3. You must be of sound health. If possible do a medical checkup, it is not out-of-place.
4. Evidence of financial capabilities to take care of you throughout your stay in Canada, in other not to be a public charge.
5. Present a strong proof about your ties to your country such letter of introduction from your employer or parents, landed property or other valuable assets that will encourage you to return to your country after your stay in Canada. Presentation of documents to support your claim is the best proof.
6. Be able to submit all the requirements at the Canadian Visa Application Centre.
After securing your visa, please let your home country be the best place of your heart, never discarded it, have it in mind you’re coming back. Do not make mistakes of selling your landed or priced properties just to travel to a strangely country. Some people have done the and now leaving to regret it.

Please read facts36.com writeup on ‘how to live and work in Canada (for Nigeria). You can process the visa on your own. However if you need an agent we may recommend one for you.
Please note we don’t run an agency.
Good morning sir, Please Sir, I would love you to help me with the Agency contact that can help me and my friends get a Canadian Visa for Tourism and Working Permit.
We shall be very grateful to you sir.

askmee4it@yahoo.com
That’s my email sir. Do us this Sir.
God bless u richly in Jesus Name.
Sorry we do not usually recommend agents, especially now when Canadian visa is turning to be a gambling or lottery. No matter what applicant presented, it’s highly frustrating.
However I will send an agent’s email to you after I seek his permission. You may try him.
Am a Nigeria base in GAMBIA,I married to a Canadian lady in 2013,here in the Gambia.my wife filled all the document required and send it to me to go and submit near by,i submit in DAKAR,actually i was interview and the lady that interview me refuse me without torch my passport.NO VISA.now my wife took a lawyar and lawyer send me some copy from( ROA ) and Told me to go and summit in my country.Please advise.
Good day sir,
Please we applied for renewal of our visas, myself and son. And new application for my other two children, husband and mother and our applications were refused. It seems my supporting documents were not checked. myself and son have traveled to Canada before and we did not over stayed, in fact, i spent only one week and my son spent 3 weeks.Please advise.
The best option is to engage the service of an immigration lawyer. Let him appeal and assist in reaplying for you. Some applicants got it after third attempt. Due to unusual rushing we experienced this year, it very difficult to know exactly what they’re looking for. Please don’t give up.
PLEASE ARE YOU AN AGENT LOCATED IN LAGOS,
Hello Ofili, I’m not an agent anywhere.
Hello sir, I applied for a study permit and all my documents are intact but I was told that all high school and post high school transcripts must be among the documents to be provided.I have a copy of my high school transcript but my post high school transcript (student copy) cant be issued to student base on the policy of the school but I have sent a copy of post secondary school transcript to the school I applied for but the school sent it direct to canada and I was given a copy of a letter showing that my transcript has been sent to Canada. My problem now is I don’t have a student copy of my post secondary transcript to show as an evidence of mark sheet of my post secondary certificate. I applied for a study permit online how will I go about it despite that I have all my certificate ready.
Because the people asking for your post secondary school transcripts will not contact the school in Canada, the only option you have is to ask your school to send another transcript to the embassy.
I recently met a man on facebook who claims to work with Canadian embassy in Abuja. His name on facebook is Lucky O. Abhuliman while his account details shows Lucky Osayande. I want to know if he’s real before I fall into the wrong hands. He promised to help me secure a Canadian 4 years visa.
It’s highly risky to rely on Facebook account. There are so many fake things on it.
You may go along with him if he can allows you to pay when the visa is out, period.
