Yes, you made the first mistake .....Nigeria is not also on the refugee list so for you to claim refugee is a no go area and a red flag so you have allowed them to put strick eyes on your file and applications....In Canadian history and immigration purposes, Nigeria is among the top strong nations economically, education and peace.....You may not have peace in your state but the greater good of Nigeria is big in Canadas immigration matters. This year, university of Ottawa has given scholarships to African students who are smart and mostly these are Nigerians and other African countries so there is no way you can claim refugee....so you messed up but God is good!! They will review the file back and forth between accra and the centralized offices that forwarded your file to accra.....They will share among different officers to review.....but there is always an end....and although your beginning was small, your later end shall be great....keep the hopes high!!
The only African country that can claim refugee are Sudan, Somalia and Zimbabwe(financial consequences) but they are all even getting of the refugee list gradually.....Nigeria is a peaceful land with good economy looking at the GDP
