Hi, has any one been to Canada with work visa lately?
Is it still possible to get an employment visa from Nigeria after getting a job offer from a Canadian firm?

Thanks. We've read on IRCC website that she can apply got study permit from within Canada while she's on visitors visa. She only needs to follow the instructions of applying from outside Canada. Hence, the reason I asked those specific questions. She's aware of the rules and she does not intend to flout any of them.
don’t waste money it won’t work I tried it when I once traveled to Canada I was refused based on immigration and purpose of stay in Canada now it’s so difficult trying to get study permit inside Canada you have to even submit the application outside Canada not inside

nigerians are not usually eligible for this cos nigerians in canada don't have companies they can use. Indians, chinese and phillipines use this to bring their people as they own businesses requiring staff. If any agent in nigeria tell you they can do work visa for you its 99.99998% a lie. Your 300k or 1.5m don waka

Hello everyone,

I've confirmed that minimum of 6 months coop count for SINP but I'm not sure if that coop program must be in SK. Please can someone confirm if coop done in another province still counts for SINP after school?

Hello everyone,
Please I'm currently on the PR process already but I'm thinking of changing careers to HR when I get to Canada. Should I do a Diploma in Chattered Institute of Personnel Management or Nigerian institute of Management.
And will that Diploma be useful in Canada to get jobs. Please advise

Inasmuch as I understand your point, and the way agents go a long way to defraud unsuspecting individuals, but I don't totally agree with you.
I know a few Nigerians who own such companies in Canada, the only requirement from the company is LMIA permit.
I only asked to know if there's a current restriction on work permit, or if someone can apply.

People will tell her to go ahead even my time I called ircc my application was sent inside Canada but was returned and I was told I should send to USA so I did online and I was called for biometric that was 2018 I traveled to the state to get it done thank God I had USA visa with me then came back to Canada I also paid the school acceptance fee 1k dollar which was not refundable…. Next day after biometric it’s was refused as if they were waiting for my biometric to be done all refusal reason was based on immigration so if I will tell her she should come back to Nigeria and apply that what I did and I got the visa

there is no restriction. But if you claim to know people with such companies they should have the answer to your question tho.

I will not totally agree with you cos am a living testimony out of the pool of applicants below is my timeline:

Canadian employer shortlisted my resume on indeed and I was scheduled for interview a week later, my interview lasted for almost 50 minutes via voice call around August 2019. I was scheduled for 2nd interview but I got my offer letter exactly 3 weeks. The job is under IMP.

Then my employer submitted my application to MPNP to consider me for nomination, I got nominated around May 2020, so I have my nomination certificate and letter of support to apply for work permit.

To cut the long story short I submitted my work permit and permanent resident application September and December 2020 currently.

My first work permit was refused exactly one year September 2021 my employer reapply around November 2021 which is still ongoing.

I received PR AOR on Jan 12 2022, between 17th Jan 2022 I received ADR, REMED,RPRF payment, PAL, exactly 28th of Feb I received my PPR with my 4 dependants.( Just 6 weeks from my AOR)

Canada employer are still hiring Nigerians ooo, in fact am in a WhatsApp group of Nigerians that have job offer all over Canada provinces and have already submitted their work application but the timeline for work permit approval from Nigeria is very slow and some are in Canada already with their families.

What reason did you give in your application for your spouse not coming along? Why you have now changed your mind should be consistent with that reason and may determine how early you can apply. The reason needs to make sense.

Proof of Income is not required to sponsor spouse, but helpful if you already have a job.

If you land in June, you don't need to wait a full year.

Bro pls explain this further. For someone on a work visa, is proof of fund needed to sponsor spouse after 3 months

You can continue a PR application via PNP without going through the express entry process. It takes longer. That’s how I got mine.

You apply to the province or territory for nomination under a non-Express Entry stream.
You need to meet the eligibility requirements of the province that nominates you.
Once you have been nominated, you submit a paper application for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
You have to pass a medical exam and get a police check (certificate).
Application processing times are longer than through Express Entry. It’s a paper based application.
