HI EVERYONE,

Please is 11 million a good amount for a visitor visa application for me and my wife?
Thanks for your response.

Yes, it's a good amount. The 11m will be around CAD$19,000 if you use the rate IRCC uses for conversion.

You can find out the current rate through the link below.

You’ll still need to make your own research, anything you don’t understand you can ask for clarification. If you can check my previous replies I’ve answered the steps and documents needed more than fours times. Go to my profiles n check my post, I’m sure you’ll see answers to your question.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Cotyozimede: 12:03pm On Jul 08, 2023
They allow ups cos VFS works with ups now,dey don't allow dhl.vfs courier service is now ups quote author=Gentlesoul3268 post=124227327]I don't think they allow dhl or ups to deliver the passport after visa is stamp, you will need to opt for VFS courier service or pick it in person

Good morning everyone. I applied for visiting visa since Novermber last year with my family. I emailed the MP last 3 weeks and this is what they replied yesterday about my application.

* Received on November 9,2022
* Processing at the Lagos visa office
* Processing time is 714 days- Tends to fluctuate depending on what is happening in the region
*Criminality and eligibility have passed
* Request letter sent on june 17,2023-documents received on june 23,2023. Actively working on reviewing those documents.

This is what they replied. I wrote on this forum in May when theh asked of the request letter. Police certificate in Nigeria and the United states. Which I submitted. The united states own was the one the MP referred to on June 17 being received on June 23.

Please what's all the criminality and eligibility implies.
Thank you .
Eligibility means if you’re admissible into Canada, since that’s passed your approval rate is high, unless they found misinterpretation during background check. Criminality is just checking if you’re not a threat to Canada’s security.

With the look of things, expect your approval soon. Congrats in advance.

While it can be possible, Do not bank your hopes on it. Make sure you back up your plans with a better pathway and convert your documents Legally.
Best bet, once you have your TRV, begin to process Permanent Residence immediately. Or go on JobBank and seek a Job, get an employer who can sponsor you with approved LMIA, apply for Workpermit and you good, Some Employers can be merciful at some point. Put your mind to rural Areas. The Urban side could be a complex complexity.

Its a way to lure peeps into Canada until 2025 , but the determinant is your skillset and the availability in the NOC, then secondly The provinces, prairies and what have you. A lot of people consider the prairies , after which they can migrate to other bigger provinces. Their leverage would be , they could not find a job etc. or possible Living conditions , Cold etc... So you could source a reason when you ready grin
Best thru a PNP if you do not have the funds for studies or you old for school like We are grin as you plan on moving , so as to have a Backup plan.

God speed!!

LMIA is a document gotten by an employer to ascertain that he or she can hire a Foreign worker. An individual with a Less capital base has no business with LMIA. Unless the person has registered a business, acquired funding and hence shows he or she has the financial capacity to hire foreign workers outside Canada.
In the same vein, the person with LMIA can opt to government to bring in foreign workers thru Pilot programs. If you have ever heard of Atlantic immigration pilot, that is what they are doing.

Dont misunderstand it.

Thank you, but you are the person not getting the concept around immigration correctly.

1.) The individual cannot get LMIA. In the US, LMIA is equivalent to EIN (Employee identification number) this is used for payment of Taxes, hiring foreign workers and helping foreign peeps get H1B visas, but its Canada, we should leave US out here. Start reading from here https://www.innovativetechin.com/work-permit-in-usa#:~:text=The%20employer%20must%20obtain%20from,or%20permanent%20residents%20of%20USA.

2.) You do not know most provinces (Ontario for instance) allows you to apply for PR thru PNP inside Ontario? Have you asked and its been debunked? I mean there is another discussion group on Nairaland, you can do well to ask there and find out.

Read here https://www.quora.com/Can-I-apply-for-a-Canadian-PR-while-visiting#:~:text=Yes%2C%20you%20can%20apply%20for,and%20a%20process%20to%20follow.

3.) "Best bet, once you have your TRV, begin to process Permanent Residence immediately" I will sincerely appreciate if you can point out where what i said here is totally misleading. So i can be humbled and say no more. There is a screenshot i mentioned you on. There is Saskatchewan PNP (SINP), Manitoba PNP (MPNP) etc. Are those misleading pathways into the same country you live in? grin

Also please Read here and digest accordingly https://www.canadim.com/blog/new-immigration-pathways-for-permanent-residence/

Now i await the misleading part grin Lets hear you.

This is a sample of how the letter for approved LMIA comes. It comes directly from Canadian government. As you can see, there is something written to the CEO of the company.

Do your best to digest this https://civs.ca/2020/10/owner-operator-lmia-approval-ita-for-pr/

You one way or the other specified you have travel history , hence the request. It's best you upload it , showing this and several other ties depicts you are a better candidate than most other people for the visa , the reason most of the time is, if a first world country like the US can grant you visa , they (Canada) should as well. You got no problems.. just upload most of your travel history (exit and entry stamps) and visa stickers for them to see.

Above all, do not forget prayers and God.
Peace and Let God have his way.

Shalom.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

However, I think this is beyond travel history, cos they specifically asked the question

"Do you currently hold a valid U.S. non-immigrant visa?"

I was hoping someone with a current U.S. B1/B2 will comment on their experience with applying canadian V V

Secondly the work stuff you asked for , you are supposed to see a verifiable documents like these ones below

See this URL https://supervisas.com/blog/success-story-immigrating-to-canada-via-lmia-suppo/
This is what i mean by LMIA sponsored Jobs, I do not seem to understand how you pay for LMIA and employ yourself as a foreign worker and yet, i am misleading you. If the individual gets Work permit documentation that simply, influx of Nigerians would be surging by now.

I know what B1/B2 and non-immigrant visa means. I have had that for close to a decade.

My specific question is to anyone who currently holds a valid U.S non immigrant visa (B1/B2 or any other category) and has processed a canadian visitor's visa, to please share their experience as to how their U.S. non immigrant visa helped(or otherwise) the process.

Your initial response was about travel history and the question on the portal goes beyond travel history, they were specific about holding a VALID U.S. non-immigrant visa..... and not just if u have travel history or if you have visited U.S. before or if u have visited UK or somewhere eles before
