Hello People,

Compliments to you all. Please I need your advice as regards this situation. My family and i intend travelling to Manitoba this month end and i noticed that most flight have stop overs in USA, do we need a transit visa to enter the USA???

Thank you for your response
I would advise you to take any route other than USA. They are agressive and will search youlike you are entering their land. Take KLM , British airways . Because the US immigration are very strict and it will be stressful for your family. Also you will need a transit visa because you have to claim your load and enter again

People!!!!!...I need all the assistance in the world now o..cos this cant be happening
, I am going to post below the mail I recieved from AVO on friday the 6th of march...Pls go through and tell me what you think I can do:



I have now completed the assessment of your application and I have determined that you do not meet the requirements of Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.

You were asked in a letter sent on November 20, 2014 to provide evidence that you had available funds in order to immigrate to Canada. This letter informed you that your application would be assessed on the basis of the information that was already before the officer and we also gave you the opportunity to respond to our concerns. I have received the requested proofs of funds and I have determined that you are not eligible to Canada as a foreign national by virtue of the fact that you do not meet the Financial requirements necessary for a family of 4 persons ($22, 170) as outlined in section R76(1)(b) of the Immigration Refugee Protection Act and the Regulations:

The skilled worker must

(i) have in the form of transferable and available funds, unencumbered by debts or other obligations, an amount equal to one half of the minimum necessary income applicable in respect of the group of persons consisting of the skilled worker and their family members, or
(ii) be awarded points under paragraph 82(2)(a), (b) or (d) for arranged employment, as defined in subsection 82(1), in Canada.

Your bank statements indicate large deposits which are considered questionable and do not reflect your regular income and savings you would have made over the past 3 years. I am not satisfied all those funds belong to you.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act.

Based on the information that is available, I am not satisfied that you meet all the requirements under the Federal Skilled Workers Class and I am therefore refusing your application.


Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.

Sincerely,


Immigration Officer
Immigration Section



That is the l mail o...the money was even in excess with evidences and teller of deposits, payslips etc...Maybe I wasnt detailed in explain the transfers bcos I included evidences I dont what happen...what can I do should I resend the same thing explain every line in detail again ,as I have already prepared that? or should I get a lawyer? If a lawyer is needed now which can you STRONGLY recommend that can deliver favourable results?...Pls people help o..this is not a good news for the family after all the effort since 2013...I need HELP!!!!!

Please expert,

Another quick question. What goods fall into this category "7. Goods Accompanying List. -as above, a table of things u r carrying on person (value & Totaled)"?

1. Are clothing or books fall into this category?
2. I am landing for about a week. Do I need to worry myself with this form and can I fill what I will bring much later, say in 3 or 4 months time?

Thank you.

Pls seniors,

Can you educate us on how not to get refused based on POF as seen in a case posted above. My own funds is in fixed deposit using wife's account. are we going to be required to present a fixed account confirmation from the bank or a bank statement dating back to the genesis of the funds.

EXPECTING your kind response.

Thanks Plenty.
