Hi, I called the IRCC recently to verify this. You can apply to work while on visitors visa(TRV). But the employer would have to pay some money to CIC and undergo some screening at ESDC to ascertain that the job the visitor intends to do requires a scarce skill.


Please be guided...you cant use visitors visa to apply for work in Canada no matter what circumstance..if its possible i wonder why you have not asked why are people seeking for asylum when they can easily convert visit visa to use it to work..be guided...you need work permit obtained from your home country to work in Canada..lets keep accurate information here..

talking about the ESDC...which skill set is scarce in canada that no canadian or PR is qualifed to do...? that a coy will go to the extent to pay money for you to come work with them...maybe the skill you are bringing to canada is the skill of creating eclipse every two days in canada

May 28th? Wow... But how come a lot are yet to be responded too, those before the 28th? One thing I know is..they do their thing, same forum @mesh03 updated that his mum submitted May 5 and was approved 4th July n just yesterday another update came in from an application with same date May 5.... So I believe they know what they are doing. When u start to think about their process u are bound to go seriously depressed, so let's chill. It is well

gcms.com. It costs $23 but since you are in Canada its $5. Takes 30days for people requesting from outside Canada. Not sure how long it takes if you are applying from within.

Huh? The 28th of May was a Sunday, so does that mean the vfs accepted applications on that day? That's really inappropriate to the best of my understanding pals!

Secondly, i submitted my int'l passport alongside my application on the 23rd of June but now have got an emergency trip to the Philippines. Please house, i need an advise on what to do since they are pretty short of processing those of my submission date. URGENT!

Vfs doesn't accept apps on Sunday, but people can submit their online app on anyday of the week.

I applied May 9th for my mum and she did bio-metrics on the 19th. Got her visa on July 5th. You can send an email.

Hi mesh, congrats on your visa issuance. What should be the structure of the email to be sent to them and to which email address? Just sceptical they may see it as an act of despiration and possibly return it unprocessed. Urgent advise would be appreciative.

Yes it will not be processed. u will have to reapply when u return from Philippines. I am almost in ur shoes and have decided myself I would never apply via paper route again. Online is better because I would still have my passport with me.
