Hi,

I received an ITA and I'm currently preparing my PR profile, however I was denied entry to Nigeria back in 2015 and want to know if this will have an impact on my PR application.

My Situation:
  • I flew from Turky to Nigeria (for business purposes) after the check-in agent at the airport verified the information that Moroccans can enter Nigeria without a pre-arranged visa
  • Upon arrival, Nigerian border control simply said this info is outdated and I was not allowed to enter the country and was asked to leave on the next plan back to Morocco
  • Once back, I applied for a business visa and received it, then flew to Nigeria and was granted entry without a problem.

Any idea if such an incident will have any impact on my PR application? I will answer yes to the question asking if I was denied entry to any country before.

Thanks!

Make sure you mention it in the application. Highly doubt it will cause you any issues (unless you don't mention it).
