Hi ! Is it possible to turn a visitor’s visa to a PR after getting there

In your letter of invitation, state that yourself and your partner are both inviting your mum to visit as your partner is pregnant. You are inviting your mum as she would provide support after child birth. Also state that all expenses would be taken care of by yourself and your spouse. State your annual income as well as that of your partner, attach your recent payslip as well as that of your partner, if possible attach your PR cards to the application. In your letter, the length of her stay shouldn't be for longer than a month or two as that would coincide with when primary schools in Nigeria are on vacation.

In addition, get a letter from your partner's doctor stating when your partner is due and also that you would require your mum's presence to support your partner during her delivery and the first stages of postpartum.

Your mum can also get a letter from her employer stating where she works and the fact that she would return to work after her visit when school resumes. This shows ties to Nigeria

Hope this helps. All the best

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by BigJohn814: 4:57am On Jan 14, 2023
It is possible, only if you have a spouse that has Canadian PR or Citizenship. All they need do is submit an Inland Spousal Sponsorship while you are there on a visitor Visa. Asides that, I am not sure it is possible get a PR from being in Canada on a visit Visa.
All the best with your search for PR.

Hello house

Please for a young person that works in Nigeria, I’m a manager in my company and earn about 200k monthly. My sister is PR in Canada. Please what documents do I need to provide for my visiting visa? I want to spend my vacation with her and her family (about 2 weeks) in the summer. I also have a small business that I run in Nigeria and have my CAC.
Please also, how much do I have to have in my account, since accommodation will not be a problem as I’m staying with my sister.

Thank you

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/apply-visitor-visa.html the documents required are listed on their website. Take a look at it. For amount only the visa officer can judge the reasonableness of the application. If flight, transport, shopping and other things you plan to do in Canada costs 1m , and your account balance is 1.2m. It clearly is not reasonable to embark on such trip unless maybe your sister is sponsoring it

All praise belong to God the Almighty
It's an approval
It's an approval (visitor visa to visit my children studying in Canada)
1st application Nov 8th 2021 on gckey
Nothing, so I reapplied in May 13th 2022(new portal).
Dec 16th Eligibility started on May 13th Application
Dec 28th,withdrawal of Nov 8th 2021 Application, I was scared
Jan 13th, approval of May 13th Application.
I come here for updates and consolation that I wasn't the only one in this backlog issue. I sent lots of webform, children called ircc , messages to MP with replies that Application under processing, lots of mails to all offices in Nairobi,China,London,US, etc, same response.

For sure,there's light at the end of the tunnel. Glory be to God

Ohhh so it’s actually impossible then
I’m asking on behalf of my cousin
But she has no spouse over there
Does that mean she has to come back after the visa expires

your last sentence is actually funny. This is why Canada rejects most of the applications by Nigerians for Visiting visa unless the person has strong home times. Many want to use it to flee and not come back. Canada is one of the countries you don’t want to live illegally on an overstay Visa. One can survive in USA as an illegal Immigrant but Canada nope

Why didn’t she try to get a LMIA-approved job in Canada before now and make use of the policy for people on visitor’s visa working in Canada for upwards of one year? With a LMIA-approved employment offer, the person can apply for a work permit. Anyways, unless the Canadian government extends it, the policy will expire next month.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by iamleye(m): 4:36am On Jan 15, 2023
There use to be a pathway during covid time which allows temporary visa holders like VV to convert their VV to an Open Work Permit so far you have got a job offer. During this period, alot of VV holders were stuck in Canada due to Canada closing their borders and they were in shortage of workers, so an executive order allows employers to hire a temporary visa holders and subsequently get a work permit.

do you know anyone who was able to get this Without status in Canada most employers wont even get back
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ikiloba: 10:58am On Jan 15, 2023
Yes it's very quite possible to turn visitors visa to PR.
1 you should be married to a Canadian citizen or PR then apply for INLAND SOWP
2. complete a prerequisites course in a Canadian college or university then apply for INLAND student permit , which will lead to PGWP and then PR.
3. Seeking Aslylum if the applicant or visitors visa holder is fleeing danger in home country or facing injustice and escaping presecution then you can apply for aslylum.its your right to apply and it's Canada right to grant you refugee status.

Good day everyone, Im very fresh here.
Pls I need the help of this forum in procuring a tourist visa to Canada with my family (of5).
I have travelled to more than 6 african countries including France and US in the last 10 years(all for work).
I also have a valid US visa.

I'm about to start the process of Canada tourist visa for a 6-8 days vacation with family.
I have these questions;


1. I have not travelled with my family before, does it make sense applying for Canada tourist with them?

2. Pls I need clarification on the visa fees and biometrics fees. How much?

3. How long does the process take?

Thanks
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by MrALIVE: 8:58pm On Jan 15, 2023
Application November 2021

Uptil now no response.
Is it fair to give up on this application
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by fashionicon: 10:05pm On Jan 15, 2023

tuton:

No i don’t have a current valid US visa, expired 2018. But i have had multiple US visas, UK, Australia and other countries in the past 10 years.
My purpose of visit is also to see my daughter who just began her studies( not sure if this had any impact on the speed of processing).
The last part I guess so. Having family in Canada usually help speed up the process sometimes

My parents visitor visa application approved!
Application submission: April 3, 2022
PPR: January 13, 2023
Used the new portal!

Now it’s time to send their passport to Abuja via DHL and I’m wondering if anyone can please let me know what documents they need to submit with their passport request letter, the address to send it to and how to make payments? There are no details of this on the vfs website. Can someone please let me know? Thanks so much.

You can submit your passport in the US.


Hi,
For someone in the same situation (i.e. needing to be in the US and already has the passport request), I would like to have an idea of how soon the passport can be returning submitted in the US.

Thank you.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by bigbus: 9:37am On Jan 16, 2023
Good day everyone,
For someone that just received the passport request, but has a trip starting in 10 days, and would not return to Nigeria until after the 30 days window, what happens if one can't make the passport submission within the 30 days?

Is there anyway to expedite submission and retrieval of passport say within a week, so as to have the passport back for this near trip?

Thank you.
