Hello, anyone waiting for an interview letter from Cameroon? Just wondering how long it takes to get one. Category IR1

My friend, who doesn’t have legal status(from Cameroon), was taken by the police recently, and I haven’t heard from him since. I’m really worried and unsure about what happens in these situations. Has anyone been through something similar? What are the possible outcomes, and is there any way I can find out what happened to him? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any university in the United States where I can use o level English as the language proficiency?

Hello, I’m a European student that’ll be moving to Yaoundé in September. In June this year I shall graduate from high school and so I’m busy looking for a university in Yaoundé. Naturally I started off with the top university in Cameroon, University of Yaoundé, but I’m unable to find a clear list showing what undergraduate programmes they offer. A few courses I’m interested in are: robotics, AI, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, and architecture. I’m still open to discovering other courses but those are what I have in mind so far.

Are there any good universities in Yaoundé that offer any of these courses? I’m failing to find sufficient info online so I thought I’d ask reddit.

Is there any Cameroonian in Sweden, how is life there?

Hi! Do you guys know if the night train between Ngaoundéré and Yaoundé is currently working? I was trying to book through the site for next week but it doesn’t work for any day, though there’s no message from camrail saying it’s not available

Hello Everyone!

The company I’m working for is sending me for a stay of 20+ days in Douala. I’m looking for any tips, suggestions or advices. If love to explore this beautiful country and use my time there to the fullest. I’ll be living in hotel near airport and working almost every other day with maximum 2-3 days without work at a time.

Are there any must sees or must does that you’d recommend? Activities? Restaurants? Museums? I’d like to explore both nature and the city.

I’d love to rent a car but I read on this Reddit that some prior authorization is required. If there’s anyone who would help me with that I’d highly appreciate it.

I’m from Eastern Europe (Poland, Slovakia) and I have never been to “real” Africa. I also like to understand places I’m visiting, so any book recommendations are welcome!

Cheers everyone 😊

What's my best option? Starlink? Something else?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi everyone, I am looking for great books from Cameroon for our Read the World challenge over at r/bookclub. The book can be any length, and genre, but it must be set or partially set in Cameroon. Preferably the author should be from Cameroon, or at least currently residing in Cameroon or has been a resident of Cameroon in the past. I'm looking for the "if someone could only ever read one book from Cameroon which book should it be" type suggestions.

The book should be available in English

Thanks in Advance

I recently bought Achu spice mix from my local African shop. I'm in love with it, It's like nothing I've tasted before. I have tried to google the ingredients but i get mixed results. I know it contains various ground peppers but that's about it. Could you enlighten me what else is in the mix and is there regional variatons?

Merci beaucoup d'avance

I am a Congolese woman and was born and raised in the west and sex toys (vibrators/ artificial intimate body parts) are not a big deal to me at all. My boyfriend and I recently had an extremely huge disagreement over the fact that I have sex toys. It got to the point where he told me that he would never entertain or accept this if he was in Cameroon dating a Cameroonian woman. He said that I can do whatever I want with them for now but once we get married, he never wants to find them in the house. I don’t think this is a man thing because I dated African American men, white men and Latino men who were bothered but never enough to fight over it or end a relationship. Do they not sell sex toys in Cameroon? Do women not use vibrators there? I didn’t expect my boyfriend to be 100% okay with it but I thought cause we are both young (27 and 28) and progressive it wouldn’t be such a big deal. It’s making me hesitant to marry him because my sex toys are not cheap and they are high quality. I don’t want to throw them out if/when we get married.

So I have a cousin hitting me for money to buy prescription glasses. When I asked for the price she said it was 100,000 fc. My question is, is this right or is she trying just trying to get cash out of me?

ps. she does wear glasses but just for school.

How much do you all think you need to earn to live comfortably? You can indicate the currency too.
Personally I'd say $8000 monthly for me.

I’ll be traveling to Yaounde in September and am currently working on completing my online visa application. Although I’ve traveled back home before, my father handled the application process in the past, so this is my first time doing it myself.

For my application, I’ve included the following documents: • My passport • Airline ticket • Latest bank statement • Cameroonian birth certificate • Previous visa approval (traveled in 2022) • Yellow fever vaccination card

However, I’m facing challenges with the letter of invitation and proof of accommodation. My entire family resides in Cameroon, particularly in Yaounde, where I always stay at my mother’s compound during my visits. Both the invitation letter and the accommodation proof need to be signed by an administrative, immigration, or police authority in Cameroon.

Would it be correct for my mother to type up a letter stating that she is inviting and hosting me, and then have it signed at a local police station? If there’s a specific format or additional details I should include, I’d appreciate any guidance!

I'm a US citizen.

Edit: approval took about one day.

Je suis canadienne et mon copain est une moitié camerounais. Le français est ma deuxième langue et quand sa famille camerounaise parle j’ai du mal à les comprendre. J’ai du mal à comprendre des gens qui ne sont pas belges ou canadiens à cause des accents.

Je veux commencer à écouter / regarder des médias camerounais pour que je puisse les mieux comprendre.

They are so many tribes/chiefdoms/villages in Cameroon all with their own languages and dialects like the Beti, Kom, Bakweri  and Bamiléké just to name a few.

I would like to know if anybody is fluent in one of their languages or has some knowledge about them.

I seen that we need an invitation letter for our visa and I just wanted to ask has any Americans or Europeans actually used an invitation letter for their visa to Cameroon? What are the chances of my visa getting denied because I didn’t have an invitation letter?

I am Congolese. I was born and raised and the West and I have been dating a Cameroonian man for about a year and half. He has a lot of aunts and recently his aunts back home asked him if I cook for him and bring him food. I cook for him once in a while to be nice but the question bothered me because what are his aunts trying to check up on? I am not traditional at all but the question bothered me because 1. I’m not his wife and 2. What it is to them if I cook for him? I asked my boyfriend why are his aunts asking him that and why do they even care? And he said they said it means a woman loves you when she cooks and brings you food. I cook for alot of people I like….doesn’t mean I love them. I just felt like they were rating whether or not I would be a good wife and that’s none of their business.
