Visa & Immigration Policy Updates (This Week)
Here are the most relevant immigration news updates for Nigerians this week:
1. Canada Eases Language Proof for Caregivers
Canada has introduced a policy allowing caregiver applicants to submit alternative forms of English language proficiency, such as health-sector work experience or transcripts from English-speaking institutions. This applies to Nigerians applying through the Home Support Worker Pilot.
2. UK Strengthens Relationship Proof for Spouse Visas
The UK has updated its spouse visa requirements for Nigerian applicants. Effective August 2025, applicants must now submit at least 24 months of documented communication, video calls, financial support, and any travel history or shared address documents.
3. Germany Extends Recognition Period for Foreign Nurses
Germany will now allow up to 18 months (previously 12 months) for internationally trained nurses to complete their adaptation period and exams. This change supports Nigerians going through the recognition process.
4. Nigeria Launches e-Visa Renewal for Diaspora
Nigerians abroad can now renew national passports and apply for visitor visas through a new digital portal. This allows diaspora members to process visa and travel documents without needing to visit embassies in person.
Warning:
Several fake platforms continue to advertise caregiver jobs in Canada and the UK. These often require upfront payments or personal data. Always verify employers and avoid offers that guarantee visas without interviews or contracts.
