Good morning all,

Please I need an advice on what to do if I am having difficulty downloading forms to be filled on my account? The actual content to seem to show when downloaded please what can i do?

slimanyd:
So bro. How long will it take for them to finish these eligibility stage and how long b4 a decision will be taking since eligibility has started already. Thanks.

olowoba2:
It is always good to over submit than under-submit. Because a refusal means another 3-4 months delay. it's not worth it. Let me tell you the documents I submitted to prove my studentship for my wife's visa:

acceptance letter (very very important)
scholarship letter
student permit
my stamped passport page
enrollment form
my PPR
proof of payment of school tuition

NOBIAMAKA:
I am a newbie, intend to apply for a visit visa. I was able to click on this link.
What is ''INVITE CODE'', or is it advisable to use an agent.

sherriecoks:
hello Everyone. my review of eligibility is now showing "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" yet background check is still ongoing. any idea what this means and what to expect?

Dampops:
I know this may not be the right thread…but please help if you have the information/experience….

Good morning people…I’ll like to ask if anyone has had to change schools after getting his or her study permit approval/letter of introduction at POE(before traveling and resumption)? Someone said if you need to change your school after getting your LOI and before traveling, you will have to apply for another study permit. Is this correct? Does any of our gurus have experience to share on this?
Thanks in advance

Makibarbie:
Please does anyone know how long it takes to get gcms note. I sent one since January 5th and I haven’t gotten any response till today.

Also, does the email feedback goes to the representative or the requester.
In my case i am using a representative for my application but my friend who is a PR raised the gcms note from canada and he hasn’t gotten any email yet on my behalf. Please i need confirmation.

Thank you

Hello
I’ve been a quiet observer here since I submitted my application. I’m glad to finally say my family and I have gotten our visitors visa.

Margs:
Hi, I used an agent online to get a place. Had to register on the site with a small fee (Re/max). Didn’t use a WhatsApp link or specific group. However, your school may have an accommodation group on WhatsApp if you are coming to study. You can ask the school

yemmywesey:
Yes it's possible, based on the new policy on ground now, you can convert your visit visa and apply for a work permit.

emmanick:
Please I need advice and assistance if possible

I’m currently in Canada with a B1 visa
The visa expires in less than 5 days time and I don’t want to back to Nigeria

I would like to know if there’s anything I could do within this 5days time or even beyond if it does expires to legally stay in Canada

Thank you

ChiKen2027:
Good afternoon house, the platform have been so informative. I will like to ask if it is possible to apply for SWOP while VV is ongoing?. My colleague's application for VV was submitted online on 30/06/2022 while biometric was completed on 07/07/2022. However, there have been no update on the secured portal. Now his common law partner just got study permit while he is the dependent. Can he apply for SWOP immediately? If yes, when is the appropriate time to lodge the application.?. He also received admission to a college at ontario, should he apply for study permit instead?

BitterSweet:
Please which website did you use to order the notes?

shokimon:
Hello good people. I just submitted an application for a visit visa but forgot to upload my cousins PR card on the portal. How do I submit it after application paid for and already completed pls? Urgent! Thanks

Salvationzoe:
Good day,
Please I want to find out from the house.
I have a 1 year old who is soon to be a Canadian citizen (his father is a citizen and his siblings as well and we have filed for his citizenship certificate already). He has been through a lot of health issues from birth. Now I want to take him to Canada for check up but since I am not s citizen I have to apply for the visa.

Would it still take a long time for my visa to be ready on these grounds, knowing the child in question is soon to have his certificate of citizenship and needs urgent medical attention.
Thank you

Hey guys, please has anyone applied for the super visa for grandparents and gotten it?
I heard it’s hard to get, how true is this?

hayoBams:
landing gist!!!
Hey guys,
So my parents, sibling and cousins all followed me to the airport. The drive to the airport was hectic, my flight was actually on Monday and as y’all know Mondays traffic are quite heavy in Lagos. I went with Ethiopian airline and the flight was scheduled to depart by 1 pm but classic Nigerian time we didn’t depart until about 3pm which in turn affected me at Addis Ababa, but I’ll get back to that later in the gist.We left home around 8 am and got to the airport at about 9:30.

There were a total of 6 People with me so we had to bribe with about 3k for all of us to enter. We got to the check-in queue for Ethiopian Airlines which was a bit long but i was finally attended to, pro tip: make sure you weigh your baggage before leaving home to save yourself from headaches and also in as much as you won’t need a power bank in Canada I’d say you should keep one with you cause it might come in handy at the airport. So my bags were finally weighed and I had an extra baggage of which I was supposed to pay 106k but I eventually paid a total of 60k because my uncle was able to speak to the guy at the counter and within 30 minutes I was done.

Saying goodbye to my family at the immigration was the actually the hardest part of the trip because non travelers were not allowed beyond that point. we all cried and said our goodbyes. I manned up and swallowed my tears while reminding myself I’ll see them pretty soon.

As I had said at the beginning of the story, My departure time was 1pm but we didn’t start boarding till around 2:40 and by 3:00pm we had taken off. This was actually my first time traveling by plane so I was very nervous but then I met a very nice lady who was heading to Malawi turns out she came to study in Nigeria UI to be precise and in my mind I was like who leaves their coin to come study in Nigeria lol. We arrived Addis Ababa by 11pm of which we were supposed to land by 9pm and have a layover of 2 hours before boarding the flight to Toronto but due to the delay in Lagos there was no layover, so it was off the flight from Lagos, down to the flight to Toronto.
Finding the boarding gate wasn't hard, but there were a lot of stops before getting to the boarding gate, like I had to pull off my shoe, open my carry-on like 3 times.
The second leg of the trip was longer like 13 hours or so but I entertained myself with some movies. for me I don’t know about others but the food on the plane was wack I was lucky enough to had snuck in pieces of meat onto the flight, this was what sustained me till we finally arrived safely on Tuesday morning 7:45am Toronto time everyone clapped for the pilot because there was a lot of turbulence of which I though was gonna die lol.
As soon as I came down from the flight I followed the signs and quickly rushed down to arrivals, I already did the arrivecan stuff online before leaving Nigeria but the self decoration machine wasn’t acknowledging my passport so I just had to proceed to one of the officials at the counter and she filled a new declaration form for me. Please obey all the instructions you’re given and kindly ask questions on things you don’t understand.
It was my turn to be attended to, the officer was actual looking beautiful so I told her then she smiled she then proceeds to ask for my international passport, my tuition receipt and she printed out my permit, stamped it and handed it over to me then she wished me goodluck, pro tip: try complimenting the officer it really makes the officer feel more comfortable with you.My cousin was already waiting for me at the arrivals and we were able to get a SIM card for me.

Thank you so much to everyone who had contributed to my journey by relentlessly answering my questions.
I’ll be resuming at centennial college this coming January and also it’s cold in Canada oooo make sure you are prepared.

Hi everyone, I just got my student visa and will be coming to canada - Barrie ON on the 6th. I wanted to find out if its possible to get an accomodation there from my location. Or is it better to come in first.

Also between a Booking.com apartment/hotel and an airbnb, what would you recommend?

Thanks a lot
