Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Kaymanz: 9:37pm On Apr 11
Good day everyone,

I need your input here. I recently lost my elder sister, who was a permanent resident in Canada, and we are planning to lay her to rest soon.

I have applied for and received a visitor's visa to attend the burial in Canada. Currently, I work as an accountant and earn relatively well as an entry-level staff.

Would it be a good idea for me to leave my job here in Nigeria and use this as an opportunity to relocate, considering that I only have 6 months to secure a job in Canada that could sponsor my work permit?

I would like to know my chances of securing a job or converting my visitor's visa to either a work permit or a study visa.

Please, I need your input, as I am very confused at the moment.

How are you going to relocate on a visitor visa? You can apply for a study permit right now. No one is going to sponsor you on a visit visa it, every job you apply for usually as if you have authorization to work in Canada and once you say no your application is thrown out. I would just apply for express entry from out of the country since you have experience and a degree.

You're doing well. Why not come back and apply for the right visa instead of spoiling the show for yourself? It won't take up to 6 months before you're done with your app whilst you still keep your job. You could be in Canada with the TRV for much longer without achieving your aim, mind you.

Many of those who make these posts don't realise what damage they intend doing to themselves by planning to run away. They don't realise it goes straight into your travel records and can potentially permanently wreck their goals of relocation if it doesn't work. And most times it doesn't work.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jeboy(m): 7:39pm On Apr 12
In all you do pls dont claim assylum, you may spoil the chances of others in future that finds themselves in such situation. IRCC fast tracked ur visa and gave u based on compassionate ground. I remembered when some folks were saying they won't give while others said they will give you on compassionate ground. Imagine if someone else have abused such visit visa before you am sure you won't get it and we will all crucify them. Don't allow anyone push u into asylum exploration. Try study or express entry route.

Havinv said this i will say use the opportunity to visit some graduate schoo and make relationship . You can then return back and apply for a Masters. Getting job with a visit visa is at a chance of 1/100.

Hi everyone. I was asked to submit my passport today and when I got to VFS Lagos they didn’t collect my passport. They only collected my contact details and said I will get an email or call. Were they not supposed to collect the passport and send it to ircc?

God don catch you. So,you're one of those silent readers who have benefited from the resources here but would just waka without sharing the good news abi grin? Congrats!

When did you apply for your TRV? Can you share the timelines? You may be encouraging those still waiting endlessly here.

As regards the passport submission, there's a process involved,as you know and the VFS had initiated that already. You'd hear from them

So here is my timeline for those that might catch one or 2 from it.

Applied for TRV. MAY 3 2023.
Biometrics was. MAY 7 2023
GCMS Notes. APRIL 3 2024
PPR APRIL 8 2024.

So I applied from the UK for a tourist visa with hotel booking, No IV used , processing time showed 385 days but I filled the form and my traveling date was to be April 13th. Airline won't allow me to book a flight more than a year.

After my biometrics, I got my 5 years US visa, so I submitted a webform in October with the visa page. The profile was updated on 27th Dec but nothing changed. Sent several webform asking for update but no response.

So I decided to order a GCMS notes base on advised given here. I think $19 or thereabout. Added additional webform same day that my traveling date is fast approaching and I have a non-refundable flight tkt and some other points.

PPR dropped today.


QUESTIONS:

Is it possible to submit my passport if I am in Texas?
And how long before the passport is returned?

Hi, please what’s the process for submitting passport to vfs Lagos? I went there to submit and they did not collect the passports and just said I will get a call or email?

Good evening sir/maa
Please I need ur advice on my application
On Nov 2021, I applied for Canada visitors visa and it was refused on June 2023.
Reason: debt to the crown, from my findings the agent that handle d application did not pay the application fee. So have paid the fee (185canadian dollars) for d debt to the crown and it was confirmed by IRCC.
On Sept 2023, I applied for anoda visitors(2ND) visa but it was also refused on Feb 27th 2024.

Reason: you are not truthful filled the form given to u. So I ordered for GCMS NOTE
BASED ON MY 2ND APPLICATION TO KNOW THE REASON IN DETAILS, THE GCMS NOTE CAME TODAY AFTER READING TRU IT DIS IS WOT I FIND OUT

I HAVE REVIEWED THE APPLICATION. I AM NOT SATISFIED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN TRUTHFUL IN THE DOCUMENTS AND ANSWERS SUBMITTED IN SUPPORT OF THE APPLICATION, AS REQUIRED BY SUBSECTION 16(1) OF THE ACT. SPECIFICALLY, I AM NOT SATISFIED THAT D FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS TRUTHFUL: FAILED TO DECLARE PREVIOUS MISREPRESENTATION.
FOR DIS REASON I HAVE REFUSED THIS APPLICATION
PLS,MY QUESTION IS THAT SHOULD I STILL NEED TO ORDER FOR ANODA GCMS NOTE FOR MY 1ST VISTORS APPLICATION B4 I APPLY FOR THE NEW ONE AND IF I ORDER FOR IT AND I FIND OUT THAT THE INFORMATION IS DIFFER HOW SHOULD I GO ABT IT WEN APPLY FOR THE NEW APPLICATION OR SHOULD I JUST STICK ON THE INFO ON MY 2ND APPLICATION TO APPLY FOR THE NEW ONE.

Aside from using Canada visiting visa to visit, touring and have fun.
That visa is very very useless in Canada.
Basically changing status while holding a visit visa is almost impossible.

Don't say we didn't warn you o.

Hello Temitaryor1,

1. There is a section in the application form that ask if you have been refused visa before, did you confirm yes, that you have been refused Canadian visa and explained the issue that transpired. ( the debt to the crown issue and your subsequent payment)? Also, bear in mind an application cannot be successfully submitted and transmitted to IRCC without payment. I suspect payment was made and their was a chargeback on your application.

2. Do you have access to all the information the agent filled in your first application and where you consistent with that same information in your 2nd application?

I would advise people to avoid agents, some of them dont understand this visa application thing. Better doing it yourself.
