Yes, if you meet the new requirements for the new application and if not, then your application stays on the queue. You don't have to do anything.

Either ways is good as long as he has enough funds to support his application on dependency. You are good to go if your skillset as a dependent is in demand in Canada otherwise let him go first, then he can file in your application later.

Please someone explain.....What do they mean by saying you should be vaccinated 14 days before you travel? Does it mean if you are fully vaccinated since November 2021 and you are traveling February 2022, does it mean you can't travel? Does it mean you should take your second dose 14 days before traveling?

It means 14 days should have passed since you got your second dose.

Please, I would like to ask.... I plan to travel with my kids (4.5years old, and 2 years old) to meet my wife who is on a study permit in January 2022. I am fully vaccinated with a canadian work permit but the kids are not due to their age. Do the kids require a written authorization to enter Canada? For those that travelled with kids less than 5 years old, please, what was it like at POE? Help a brother with this information �

The kids don’t need to be vaccinated, if your wife isn’t travelling with you then you need authorisation from her I think.

Hello .. please where you asked for the authorization letter to fly ? I have a visitor visa and I am fully vaccinated.

Hi I left lagos yesterday via klm on trv to unite with sibling. I enrolled on arrive can app, vaccination card, negative COVID test from accredited lab, authorization from ircc to fly (did this via webform). All documents are checked at all airports, so print all documents. In Canada I was randomly selected to do a COVID test. I am to quarantine in my sisters house till results come out in 24 hours . If negative I can go about my business, if positive then further quarantine for 10 days. They also gave a home test kit to do in 10 days and send to them. Cheers

Yes. All you need is a 72 hours PCR test and your evidence of full vaccination. I travelled on xmas day to see my daughter in school in Toronto. I spent less than 2mins with CBSa agent before been cleared for entry.
Just fill your arrivecan properly, attach the necessary documents and print the receipt.

Please kindly advise.

Heledy I believe all the necessary thing you need to do before travel to Canada as been explaining before your questions, I know you will fill arrivecan properly, attach the necessary documents and print the receipt.

Also do pre departure test in Nigeria 72hr before your flight. Maybe another test in Canada when you arrive

My advise is that you should not travel around January to avoid any questioning base on the reason why are you traveling as a tourist at this time since you don't have a siblings or family as you said.

Why can't you travel around April against easther atleast you will have a reason why you are traveling to canada.

Note: when do you apply for your current visa?
That your current visa would be a tourist visa you apply for when issue to you?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Heledy(m): 10:43am On Dec 28, 2021
I can’t comprehend your last paragraph
The visa was approved 2018
And I traveled the same year with it to Canada for 2 months before returning

Please how long did it take before you got the written authorization letter after requesting from IRCC?. Also, can an applicant who used the services of an agent apply directly from IRCC or has to go through the agent for this request from IRCC?

Thanks for this. Did you get all your boarding pass from KLM desk in lagos, i mean the one to Amastrdam and the one to canada?

Secondly, When you got to Amsterdam, did you go through passport control or security control before located your departure gate for your the next flight to canada?

thanks
gazu007:


No covid test in Amsterdam, if you google you will see government accredited website you can do your test close to you. mine was done at a lab in gbagada general hospital and I got my results same day before my flight. So when I got into Canada and I did the declaration on the self service machine then I proceeded to the boarder patrol officers desk and she told me I was randomly selected. I have a feeling anyone from Naija would be selected I guess they used my region. My test just came out and it is negative.
