I forgot to add. There are Nigerians here who are genuinely ready to help those stranded without accommodations. In fact there is one igbo woman here. She and her husband dey run one shelter for Africans only.

If you’re coming with no place to stay. I can link you up with them. Instead of paying $400/day for hotel. Use this one find your feet. ✌️

Please do share I am interested.

Good evening all.

Sorry for sharing this late:
I and my spouse finally collected our stamped passport last week Friday.

Application submitted: March 16, 2023
Biometric request: March 16, 2023
Biometric done: March 24, 2023
BVL: June 28, 2023
PPR: July 5, 2023
Passport submission to UPS: Wed July 19, 2023
PP received by VFS Lagos: Friday July 21, 2023
PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and to be sent to CVAC Abuja OC: Mon July 24, 2023
PP Collection mail: Thur 10 August , 2023
PP Collected VFS LAGOS: Friday 11 August , 2023

After CVAC Abuja OC: Mon July 24, 2023 there was complete silence, no mail and the VFS tracker kept saying our ‘in transit to IRCC office’ perpetually. I was not bothered at first because I renewed my passport and raised a request to update the passport number on IRCC, I also added the letter to the envolpe which we submitted at VFS with the new passport. I kept checking the IRCC tracker to confirm if my passport number has been updated to the new one because the visa details on the tracker showed my old passport number. Finally Aug 1 the IRCC tracker was updated with my new passport number grin and by Aug 3, the IRCC tracker was already showing closed yet no update on the VFS tracker as it kept saying in transit to IRCC.
Finally on Aug 10, I contacted VFS via the live chat and was told it was still processing it. Alas same day in the afternoon I got all the mails at once including the ready for collection mail. The next day Aug 11 my spouse picked up our passport: went with marriage certificate and consent letter.

Background: Our application was Visiting a friend in Canada with the intent to give birth. Proposed travel date was 3rd June, however passport request came in few days to when we had our baby smiley

We are processing our baby’s passport and I have to read up on how to go about application for children.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone on this thread. The information here was very helpful and instrumental to our application.

We were given visas up to the expiry date of our passport. My new passport is 10years to expries July 2033. I was given 10years multiple entry visa with the expiry date as Mar 2033 which is when the biometric expires.

All the best to everyone still waiting. Let me go and search this thread for what I need to apply for kids of parents with visas already.

First year tuition n living expenses of 10k cad. You’ll need to show n explain how you’ll pay the balance in ur SOP.
Wow, great.

That means what I need is :
Year 1 school Fund ( 1st and 2nd semester) $9,500 + $9,500= $19,000

Living expensis $10,000

Total = $29,000

So if I tell them I will find work to pay the Balance will that fly ? Or what type of story do I tell to justify how I will pay the balance??

Normally you will state that the visit is for say 2 or 3 weeks on your application. Stick to that on your return ticket.

When you get to Canada you are safe to stay till your 6 months max. That is if your plans to converting to another status no work. But don't stay beyond 6 months on Visitors Visa at a time

Don't even try it. They will send him back. For sure. Better to book a week return ticket and push when you pass immigration.

They will suspect foul play because it's too sudden. I think he should relax and let breeze blow small

You have to give at least 6months gap before reapplying
That’s what the law said

You dont need to have a business in Canada before you apply for a conference, look at the refused letter very well,you may be refused if the conference doesn't go along with your work .

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by puffmama: 7:54pm On Aug 16, 2023
This is what people do in circumstances like this .

They get a return ticket to show the period they specified in their form ..when they are allowed entry , they will then change the return date could be a day or two after. If it's same class of ticket , it will just be date change fee but if it's a different class , ( even though it's same economy ) the person will now pay the fare difference . If you booked the ticket click on manage my booking , enter your reference number and last name , effect the changes and pay ..if you used an agent , he can also get it done from naija

Can you tell us your experience pertaining to the truck driving school. There's a truck driving school in Canada that can train you if you have a G license.

What I noticed and information I gathered there before coming is that truck driving is among the profession they needed at the moment and knowing how to drive it will be the easiest way to convert your visitor visa to a working visa
