A lump sum deposit in your account might be a problem during the visa application processing period, not at the port of entry.

No, they don’t. POE is not a lion's den. I know some people do encounter problems at POE, but the majority of people pass through without issue.

The likely question will be:

What are you here for?
Where will you stay?
For how long?

Yes. I am having the exact same issue. I even started a new application and still got stuck on the same Activities tab. I was able to go pass this some weeks ago with the same information. Any clue on what to do?

Hello My people


Please is anyone encountering issues with the new portal, I saved an application and currently went back to finish up, but got stuck on the "Activities" tab.

Though I have gone pass the page before but currently cant "Save and Continue" again. The error is an empty pop up
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Gina2022: 3:42am On Jul 21, 2023
Hi @ddooskie and everyone. Please I want to ask. Concerning SOWP application for a spouse that's outside Canada, partner on PGWP in Canada. Can spouse in Canada submit more than one job employment contract if she is not getting enough hours from the employer she started working with?. More than one employment letter and bank statement showing deposit from two different employers.

Your sincere responses will be appreciated.

Thank you.






ddooskie:


What the person is suggesting is that instead of paying someone $20k for an arrangee LMIA, it is better to seek admission and use the money for tuition fees and you'd get PGWP at the end of your program with this route, the spouse can come in with a SOWP or do like Emmafe, enter with your VV to meet the spouse that is studying and change to WP via flagpoling.

Anyone asking you to pay for LMIA is probably a scam because it's against the law, also it's the responsibility of the employer to get LMIA from the government which is $1100.

If you pay anyone $20k it's like you're paying them to pay you; let's assume the job is minimum wage $15 (Ontario) and you work 30hours/week that's 120hrs/month × $15 × 12 months = $21,600 also note that the government must not know you bought your employment so the agent &/employer may make you work under some inhumane conditions and you can't complain because you're already complicit in the racket and they may terminate the employment anytime, money is gone and you can't press charges since you are part of the crime.

The best is to go through the right channels, if you have the $20k, go for something that will give you peace of mind and probably longer stay with the PGWP which affords you the opportunity of gaining Canadian experience that can give you better points in your PR application.

PS.
I am not currently in Canada and I have not put in any application (looking forward to one though) but I read about people's experiences and I watch japa videos too.

Thanks to all the contributors here may our dreams come true.

You can be asked to login into your mobile app to confirm you’ve the pof you claim during secondary checking. It’s rare doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

Even Egypt air are found of this nonsense act, check YouTube or read ppl’s review.

Nobody checks transaction history, can only check balance (very rare). You also need to relax, you’re getting too worried, fear sef can draw attention. Just do the normal thing n you’ll be fine.

Hello people,

What’s the minimum number of months that needs to be available on a passport if one is applying for a visit visa.

Thank you 🙏
