slimmsyyetty:On this , I just booked a return ticket on Ethiopian airlines last week, I’m hoping I won’t be shown the shege pro max . I’ve had a VV since August last year and plan to move this month. The flight was quite expensive sef , 2.9m. |

I believe everything should have been normalized by now as a lot of people boycotted their airline from Nigeria after travelers were raising their complaints with the way they were being treated enroute Adisababa to Canada towards the end of last year. Were you invited? If yes, have a copy of your invitation letter with you, the of such person should be available in case they want to reach him/her on your case ![]() ![]() ![]() Above all, I wish you a stress free journey and please, come back to share your experience at Adisababa to see if they have relaxed their tough rule on blacks when you finally land in Canada Shalom bigfatthing: 2 Likes |

sanyaolurilwan:The moment mama arrives in Canada,proceed to the airline counter at the arrivals and tell them you'd like to open the ticket. You can also them online. They'd leave it open and it's valid for 1 year. Whenever you wish to use it, you'd only be charged for an upgrade, which is a few dollars. 2 Likes |

Newmum0615: If she travelling on a super visa she can buy a one way ticket since you not sure her return date and that why it called super visa ...print what is a super visa from ircc and she carry alone too ..With a super visa, eligible parents and grandparents can visit family in Canada for 5 years at a time while visitor can only stay 6 months .and the costly insurance requirement..abeg no waste ur money ..buy one way ticket and say she comung back after 4 years it allowed! 1 Like |

Exactly my opinion, too. Students on study visa of 1 year travel with one way ticket without issues, how much more a super visa of 2 or more years for older adults... The least duration given at POE for a super visa 2 years and as high as 5 years, so do they expect a return ticket for someone coming in on a 5 year stay? In fact, her health insurance is important at POE than return ticket. The mum can simply tell them she is on a super visa and would buy her return ticket when she is ready to leave but I doubt it she would even be asked because the status of her visa is on her port already. Older parents or grandparents can't seek asylum because they are also dependant on their family that invited them. They can't even work with it so I believe they won't have issues at POE because of a return ticket. But with a visit visa even as a great great grand parent ![]() But nonewisthanding, I respect people's choices. orjohn24: 1 Like |

Nobody here knows exactly when IRCC will make decision on your application but they sure have a time frame for processing time on their website. Please, be mindful that your application days start counting from the day your biometric is linked to your application and not the day you submitted your application. You may raise a webform to request for an update on your application once your application has ed the processing time on their website for Nigeria applicants Beejaymic: |

slimmsyyetty:Thanks for this info. I think sanyaolurilwan should stick to this advice for her mum's ticket. None of my relations had ever lived in Canada before, talk less of any of my parents visiting them on a super visa. We only visit on vacation and attend programmes. My earlier pieces of advice was strictly on a visit visa which I know so much about. I know less about super visa holders obtaining a one-way ticket, which is why I'd want you to take his advice. Regards. |

Please how can i do that..my biometrics wason September 28th..no response till now slimmsyyetty: |
slimmsyyetty: 11:12pm On Feb 04, 2024 |
IN MY OWN OPINION....3m is far too low for both of you. There are some things that needed to be cleared because it is not all about someone inviting you, especially if you are an active citizen and not a senior citizen.. Is your cousin sponsoring you and your spouse on a full time invitation, including return tickets ( cost of return ticket is now well over 2m per enger to Canada so it won't be less than 5m for both of you)? Now the VO might want to think why your cousin would want to spend such amounts just for ordinary invites on tickets alone, aside other costs, considering the family tree is now extended. It's now your statement and that of your spouse that would weigh in to see how financially strong or buoyant you are in your home country. That's your financial ties And how would your financial statement be of help? Your job!!! What do you do?? What does your spouse do? Did you apply for your leave at this same time for having want to go together? If you this stage strongly, you go to the next scrutinized stage...Family ties Do you have children that would make you come back? How many are they? Whose care would they be while you are away? Would your balance be sufficient to cover up their expenses back home while you are away with your spouse? Then you go to the next stage...Economy ties Do you have investments, properties, active business, assets e.t.c. in your home country that proves your economic stability and sure return? Travel history is a boosting factor too, especially US but I believe if 90% of your application docs meet the other eligibility requirements, then you may be considered Now use your 3m s balance to judge all the questions above. Shalom!!! Geerlings: 2 Likes |

If you aren't going on a conference or graduation or wedding but just as a tourist or as ordinary invitee with no date to attend a special event, I will suggest you raise a webform at the end of February. The choice is still yours, though. https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx Best of luck!!! BossFingy: 1 Like 1 Share |

APT. Its things like this that some applicant here dont consider or dont know about and they want Canada to give them visa because Canada is doing visa bonnaza. And if they fail, others will fail with them. Lol slimmsyyetty: |
