Ghanaian Living in Canada Said She Applied For a Visa Herself: "Many Ghanaians Don't Like to Research"

  • Angela Sarpong is a Ghanaian lady who lives in Canada after she got a visa to study in the North American country
  • In an interview, Angela said that she did not engage the services of any agent but rather filled her forms and went through the visa acquisition process on her own
  • She said most Ghanaians are unable to acquire their own visas because they do not like to read or research

A Ghanaian living in Canada said most Ghanaians do not research so they can apply for their visas abroad themselves, and that is why they pay agents for such services.

Angela Sarpong said she applied for her Canadian visa herself after reading the requirements and ensuring that she meets all of them.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami of SVTV Africa, Angela said she was not keen on travelling but was only trying her luck when she got the visa.

"I had completed my national service and decided that to apply for a Canadian visa. I was not hungry or broke because I lived with my mother, who, at the time, was still providing for me. I was only trying my hands on the visa application process to Canada."
