Most people will not be honest with you.

Just as the title is stated “Visitor Visa” that is all it is.

It is strictly for visiting only and nothing else.

1. You cannot study in a university in Canada using a visitor visa.
2. You cannot get any job in Canada with a visitor visa. (No employer in Canada is ready to risk a penalty from the government.)
3. You cannot rent a house in Canada with visitor visa.
4. You cannot open a Canadian bank account with a visitor visa.

Canada is very strict and almost impossible to manipulate the system.

A lot of people are trapped in Canada thinking visitor visa can be converted to something else but it is already too late as they were lied to and given false hope before they arrived.

Hello everybody.
Please what steps are expected of a planned tourist visit to Canada with a child who is a US citizen?
Do I need to apply for a visa for her as well?
Please advise a novice.
Thanks.

scorpio1:
So, have a US visa that just expired last week, not planning to renew now cos of the backlogs and massive denials, I want wifey to start medical Visa process so she can give birth there (EDD is around December).
When will be the right time for her to start and what will be the duration of visa they will give her?
Should I start a visitor Visa process as well so I can accompany her, we have no one or relative there to assist so I'm scared she might not be able to cope alone.
If I can accompany her, when will be a good time to start my own process?.. should we apply together or do we do it separately?
Your kind directions will be appreciated.

Thanks

Start applying now as Canada’s processing time can’t be known all the time. Some applications take less than a month, some run into months. My application took 5 months. I’ll advise you both apply together. For Canada visa, the duration is usually till the expiration of your passport so if your passport expires on 12th of dec 2024, your visa would be till 10th December 2024. So please start now and all the best.

You can rent Air b n b, I'm also sure that in some remote areas one can blend in. I'm not advising people to stay with visit visas but I'm sure some people have done it and pulled through

If you really want to the true picture of using visit visa to work,then listen.Visit Visa is what it is and nothing more and in Canada just like you just assumed without verification it is not possible to work with visit visa if its Canada.People who you think you know and have told you they stayed back to work with visit visa are very economical with the true picture of the reality typical of so many Nigerians abroad who wont tell you exactly how the it is until you make that regrettable move and coming then you start hearing different stories.

In Canada employers wont even listen to you once they ask your status in Canada and you say Visitor,in the US you can pick under the table jobs with your visit visa which is illegal as well but because of the population of America its hard to monitor that. Students in Canada who are even legal are not allowed to work beyond 20hrs a week and i am sure you read what happened to the two Nigerian students in Vancouver that worked beyond 20hrs and were deported from Canada. The only way you can work with your visit visa in Canada is claiming asylum which i can also tell you is not an easy road for Nigerians as 99% ends up having their asylum claim rejected and sent back to Nigeria. America is even better to enter and survive without legal status than Canada.

A visitor on tourism can rent Airbnb because that is what Airbnb is meant for when you dont want to spend so much in hotels.But to say you can rent a house from a landlord as a visitor is not possible and very incorrect.No landlord in Canada will even pick up your call when he learns you are a visitor ...who even rents to a visitor for three weeks or a month to now end up looking for another tenant while the house is vacant and he pays mortgage from his pocket...so its very wrong to say that.

Lets learn not to say things we dont know about based on hearsay and this "people have done this and done that" when you have not experienced it yourself.Often Nigerians abroad dont tell you the real picture not until you come and then you are locked in confusion and frustration.

Nothing is as sweet as being a legal immigrant but dont use your visit visa and stay back in any country,you will hear nweeeee.

Your child has no issues at all (the US Passport will suffice, visa free), concentrate on yours.

gentleiphy:


you don't need any Canadian visit visa for your child that is a US citizen, You only need to apply for yourself as your child has free access to enter and leave Canada as she or he wishes. That is the power of blue passport against the green passport. Canadians don't need visa as well to enter the US ..both US and Canada have access to more than 172 countries visa free.

sudemba:
Wow 5months!!! was it paper application?

Kimbebe:
Yeah it was but it was my second application after I was denied the first time.

OmoBendel24:


Paper route? 5 months? Wow! Long processing time has mostly been associated with online route. Wow!

Was this paper route application submitted in the heart of summer or when?

Sorry it was online and not paper. I was a bit distracted while applying. On both occasions, online application

So sorry, the column where I was asked if I have been refused a visa in the past, I imputed NO. It was a honest oversight. In addition, I’m yet to be invited for biometrics because I made the application today.
