The rate of unemployment in our country is outrageous. And on the other hand, the value of the naira is in a deplorable state. Life in Nija is becoming unbearable, but words have it that Canada is a land of promise.
According to statistics, over 200,000 people move to Canada each year from around the world as a result of the endless, wonderful opportunities Canada has to offer.
But, on the other hand, over 200,000 application for Canada visa is also denied.
Although, the reason for this is uncertain; but in most cases, it can be traced to an inappropriate way of applying.
Why not read on to see the seven steps that will guide you, whenever you chose to apply for a Canada visa.
Step 1
You must first find out the kind of visa you need before applying for one.
If it is your wish to travel to Canada, for purposes other than business or pleasure, then, you are required to apply for a visa in the right category, such as study or temporary work.

As of 23 October 2013, Nigerian citizens between the ages of 14 and 79 must give their biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) when applying for a visitor visa, study permit or work permit.
This new requirement affects citizens of 29 countries and 1 territory. Find out if you need to give your biometrics.
