I am traveling to Barbados,there is no direct flight from Nigeria,so I have to go through Canada, from Canada to Barbados is 5hours. So I need a transit visa if I must step my feet on Canada soil. Some countries don’t request for it,but Canada ,US,UK and schengen countries do.

Hi,

Though you stated it, but you seem not to get the point. You cannot travel to any of the Caribbean islands from Nigerian without passing through North America. In simple terms you must get either a US or Canadian visit visa without which you cannot get to Barbados. So it's not so 'Visa's free for Nigerians or Africans is it?

All the best.

The Canadian consulate that will deal with your application is primarily determined by where you live. So if you reside in Dubai, it will go to the nearest office that handles applicants from Dubai and environs. There is no way you can claim you are living in Nigeria and did your Biometrics in Dubai, you will need to prove that you recently traveled to Dubai for other business and then decided to do your biometrics there. Anyway, I would suggest you are straight forward with all your application.

All the best.

1. Original International Passport,
2. Two copies of Passport Request Letter from IRCC,
3. Two copies of the Bio. data page of your International Passport,
4. Download vfs consent form ( https://liftassets.vfsglobal.com/ng...hash=E6BBD1B4E595999AA60D1C770EC07E8E2840A5D1 ), and fill the second page if you are the principal applicant.

Hello @Omofar,
What is the implication of an online applicant who applied for Canada study permit with upfront medical done prior to submitting application, and now the medical is updated as passed after 6 weeks. Should one still expect a medical request or just the update of passing the medical? Kindly enlighten
