You're going for 1 year program and you're going with all your kids - 15,14,10 and 5. Assuming you're the visa officer, will you approve all these visa applications. Be sincere to your self.

Divinefavrite:
Hello House, I need clarification on something. I have actually asked earlier but got no response.

I got admission with Humber college for a 1 year PGC for January 2023 intake. My question:

1. Can I go with my kids (15,14,10 and 5); We have never been separated for more than 2 months at the most so not going with them will be tough. Is there a way around this.

2. If there is, what kind of application will I need to put in for them?

3. Please note that the 5 year old is a US Citizen. Will she need any form of visa application?

I will be waiting for your responses. Thank you.

Hi guys, please my children and spouse are coming to join me in Canada with their visitor's visa. I am currently a student so they can go to school with their visitors visa. I am wondering what to do for them to be able to stay longer than the 6months validity period for a visitors visa.

2. Can anyone please help with recent landig gist on visitors visa? Do you need to print out bank statement? Do they ask to see POF? What other things should my spouse and kids expect when they land?
Please help.
Your hubby shouldn't tell them he's coming to stay or the kids will be going to school. Otherwise, they'll have issue with the border officers. Just say they're coming to visit you for the summer. Then when they get it, your hubby can LEGALLY apply for open work permit, and your kids can go to school.

Please guys, what is more important in a statement of account, balance or cash flow? The statement has a cash flow of about N45,000,000 and a balance of 600k as at this morning. I want to use it for a tourist visa.
The balance in your account at the time you're applying should be enough to cover the cost of your trip. N600K cant even pay for your flight ticket.

It depends on who process your file. But the chance is slim without a robust travel history and your financial status. Before Canada used to give visa to tourists more than family visit but now they are unwilling most especially from Africa. This is because most of the tourist visas they issued in the past ended up claiming asylum

Good evening house,

I sent some M.P's in Ontario email and 3 of them replied requesting for the same thing from me; address, phone number, postal code and a valid government I.D for them to make inquiry about my application to IRCC on my behalf.
What i'm confused about is if the details they're asking for are Canadian details or my Nigerian details cos i'm still in Nigeria o.
Please help @legaceyedition, anon123, makano, osemigho, teemenzo, Frankrobnn1, ketima and other gurus. cry
He's asking for your Canadian address. The main reason is to determine whether you're a member of his constituency. If you don't live in his constituency, he'll *likely* politely turn turn you down.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Akupuncture: 10:43pm On Mar 01, 2022
You only need to notify IRCC when you're changing school. Not when you're changing program (in the same school).

opeobats:
Good day everyone, I need some clarification on what to do. My younger brother got his application approved (I'll post his timeline shortly) but he's decided to change courses (school has approved of the new program) as he had to defer his admission for his initial program he applied for (session started in Jan). Now that the visa application has been approved, what would be the next steps ( as I know we have to notify IRCC of the new change).


Would he have to put in a new application or just notify IRCC before getting his passport stamped.

Any advise on how to proceed with this would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Akupuncture: 10:40pm On Mar 01, 2022
Don't make your case worse. With your husband in Canada (and a PR) it will be easier for you to get a visitor visa based on family reunification. A study permit will be more difficult. If your earlier visitor visa application was on the GCKey, reapply using the new portal.

Estherchi26:
Please I need help. I got married last year July, my husband is a PR in Canada. We filed for a visiting visa through an agent in May. Biometrics was in June and till now we haven't gotten any response from IRCC regarding my application. Haven't been away from my husband for the past 7months after our wedding. I decided to apply for school. Submitted application last week for fall 2022 in take and awaiting admission from school.

My fear is what are the chances of me getting a student visa with my spouse being a PR in canada. I intend using my father-in-law as sponsor coz of his business and assets then my sibling, car and land as home ties since my husband is not here and our marriage certificate shows his address in canada.

Please has anyone gotten student visa with their spouse in canada?

Can my father-in-law stand as sponsor with different last name. Though I intend getting an affidavit for change of name.

Please someone should help with answers. I'm tired of being alone without my partner and school seems to be the fastest route now ��

Hi all, please I and my 3 other friends used an agent for a visa processing to Canada, he told us the visa has been approved but he did not tell us the type of visa either visit or work permit. Now he said because one of us is almost due to give birth that it is better to wait after delivery so we all can go for the visa collection in group. I don’t know if he is right or just buying time
Who is the "agent"? Is he a licensed Canadian immigration consultant (most likely not)? How can you hire an agent to process visa for you and you don't even know what kind of visa s/he is processing for you? Did you sign the visa application documents? Did you even do biometrics?There is nothing like "visa collection in group". This is not a case of the agent buying time - this is likely a case of you and your 3 friends being scammed by the agent.

VFS Global Application Center
3rd Floor, Plot, Sterling Bank Plaza, 1083 Mohammadu Buhari Way, Central Business District 900211, Abuja, Nigeria

*and*

Canada Visa Application Centre, Abuja, Silverbird Entertainment Centre, 1161 Memorial Drive, Central Business District, Abuja, Nigeria

Also, is prior appointment required to give biometrics?

Taking me out of this group is not an issue but I think I have the right to post and display my number inasmuch I didn't direct my message to anyone... But how on Earth will this number +1613)265-1300 call me to get me IELTS certificate? I am not a fool or neither am I an idiot.
The only organization that has the right to get me IELTS waiver letter is the institution I intend to go and not an individual who thinks he can freak people with is international number.
He sent me a mail with ranhood007@gmail.com while true caller displayed EMCEE GIDEON CHRISTIAN.
I have nerver tanish anyone's name and I will never do. Don't call people when they don't direct message to you even if you see their number online..
I think the organization should contact me first before taking any step.
Thanks

@ogunleyesijibomi, you posted this on the Canada student visa thread and you were exposed there as a liar https://www.nairaland.com/6719291/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/17#105241806. The truth is that you asked this person to use his bank statement to fraudulently obtain a study permit and he refused, then you took it upon yourself to post these lies about him in Nairaland.

People, pls beware of this @ogunleyesijibomi guy. He has a post here asking for someone in Saskatchewan to pose has his sibling to enable him get points to apply under the SINP. https://www.nairaland.com/5514855/living-saskatchewan-canada/5#102108180
Be careful if he contacts you cause if you don’t assist him in his fraud, he will come here to lie about you as he did with this guy.

People like this who are desperate to use every fraudulent means to get into Canada bring bad name to all of us and makes visa officers very suspicious about Nigerian visa applications. My Canada visa was refused 3 times, but I never gave up or resort to fraudulent means. You can make it legally without dragging others down or bringing bad name to us all.
@Ogunleyesijibomi, if you go through your own previous posts on Nairaland, you’ll see it’s full of fraud https://www.nairaland.com/ogunleyesijibomi/posts You’re either looking for someone to give you a bank statement to include in your study visa application (fake sponsor), or someone to act as your sibling in Saskatchewan (fake sibling) for you to get enough points to apply. In one post your said you applied for student visa as married and wants to apply for Saskatchewan Nominee program as single. People come here to seek help on how to get to Canada LEGALLY, yours is all about how to get to Canada fraudulently.

I called the number and spoke with him. He said he contacted you sometime in April when you were seeking IELTS waiver. He informed you about his plan to coordinate Nigerian study visa applicants and write a letter to demand that IRCC cease asking for IELTS result from NSE study visa applicants. You indicated that you were not interested, and you rather wanted him to give you his bank statement for you to use in your study visa application and when he refused, you made a post on Nairaland May 16th claiming he was asking you for money, that your post was brought to his attention on August 24, and he contacted you on WhatzApp to take down your defamatory post but you refused to take it down and blocked his number. He then called you on a blocked caller ID which you picked and hung up when you realized it was him. He also sent me screenshots of your chat with him which I have attached here. May be it’s a wrong idea to come here to lie about people because they refuse to allow you to fraudulently use their bank statement for your study visa application.

I collected my passport today with my visitor visa stamped. Was refused 3 times. After the 3rd refusal (which was very senseless), I hired a lawyer who challenged the refusal in court in Canada. Immediately, IRCC lawyer made us an offer to withdraw the case in court, and that the decision would be sent back to another visa officer to review the application. It was very expensive hiring a lawyer, but the end justified the cost. Now I am looking for a cheap ticket to Canada. Any idea where I can get a cheap ticket?

I didn't declare the denial in my Canadian visa form because i am applying with my second passport.. should i be worried? Genuine Opinions and criticism willl he appreciated
You're big trouble Bro. They will find out using your bio-metric information, name and date of birth, and your punishment will be 5years bar from entering to Canada. When did you apply? A letter of apology may not help as they are not obligated to accept your 'apology'. Since they have not sent you a "fairness letter" to commence you exclusion process for misrepresentation, IMMEDIATELY send a letter to the visa office informing them that you wish to WITHDRAW your application. Thereafter you can re-apply.

OND, BSC, HND, PDP, APC etc. Na only you waka come? grin

Serious sha. You can get good points for your credentials, depends on how you wanna evaluate them. What's the associate degree about?
With what I see, you can obtain points for "Two or more certificates with one more than 3 years" if you evaluate any of these:

1. OND + HND
2. OND + BSc

It's up to you to choose which is most convenient. Since you have to evaluate the OND anyways, I'd suggest to just do it along with the HND & then your Bsc. Forget the associate degree, if it's not a masters. Won't give you any more points.
