oklarlexzy:It a good suggestion to apply for reconsideration, but that's not often successful, especially since the visa officer has a valid point about your using a gift to fund a visit trip that's not for future business or education in Canada. However, you can reapply now after receiving your GCMS note and plan the visit for December's Christmas holiday. Meanwhile, your wife can obtain the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and start working, including her work contract in your application. She can also write a more detailed compassionate letter explaining how she misses her family and needs them to visit for Christmas. However, please focus more on the Permanent Residency (PR) route for your wife, as many students are struggling with the 1-year PGWP. Many students mistakenly think that Personal Support Worker (PSW) is the same as the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot, which is not the case. As a PSW, your wife will only qualify for PR through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), which is still under the Express Entry system and requires a minimum of 1 year of full-time work experience. The work accumulated during her study period will not be counted, so she will only have 1 year of work experience. After that, she will need to enter the pool to increase her points and wait for nomination, but as things stand, I don't see any province requesting PSW due to the law of demand and supply. Currently, there are many people looking for work as PSW, and even Canadian residents can't find work in this field. PSW is not in short supply; maybe other medical professions like nursing are, but not PSW. Many students are misinformed, thinking they can choose a 1-year course, get a 1-year PGWP, and then get PR, but it often doesn't work that way. If you don't have a strong Express Entry profile already in place or your province doesn't have a program like the New Brunswick Private Career College program or Newfoundland and Labrador program, it may not be possible. For example, graduates of the Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program from some colleges will be eligible for employment as PCAs in all facilities operated by the four Regional Health Authorities in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Please research thoroughly before your wife pursues the PGWP, as some students are now looking for LMIA to stay in Canada after finishing the 1-year PGWP, but there is no provincial nomination, and it's risky to be out of status, as most workplaces refuse to get involved in the LMIA process. Even the Ontario International Students stream, one of the Employer Job Offer streams of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), targets foreign nationals who have completed a Canadian educational credential and have a job offer from an Ontario employer, but I doubt PSW will be nominated as things stand now with the current number of PSW graduates looking for jobs, even among residents. So, all these immigration routes require detailed research and not just relying on what one person said or experienced, as rules change from time to time, especially now with the rapidly changing Canadian immigration system. Please let make the group more information sharing and not insult ! |
Singlefile:Canadian Visa Professionals (CanadianVP) is a private company offering eligibility evaluations for those seeking to move to Canada as permanent residents. They collaborate with authorized consultants but aren't affiliated with Canada's government or the Canadian Immigration Consultants Council. It's essential to consider client feedback, as some reviews express concerns about their legitimacy .Please ignore them! you can process any canada immigration path way urself without any agent! |
oklarlexzy:Actually you qualify for sowp as at november when you applied for visiting even now becos ur wife is a studemt inside canada before the new law BUT that late now as she graduate next month ..but the big question is ur wife getting 1 yr or 3yrs pgwp and what the plan towards PR ? |
gideon19:It's only worth it if your nigeria driver's license has been valid for more than 2 years, as that's when it becomes advantageous for you in Ontario. You can also try another driving center outside the GTA with ur frsc extract ! |
slimmsyyetty:If you refer back to the initial question, it was based on Visitor Visa (VV) to Permanent Residency (PR) that the gentleman mentioned. The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot are different from the psw work route which requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) like any other job you obtain inside Canada to apply for a closed work permit with your visitor visa. The two schemes mentioned are not connected with an LMIA and can be applied for from outside Canada because they require WES verification, IELTS scores, and a job offer and it a sure path to PR . People often mix them together and end up paying for a program that is not useful to their current situation . On November 6, 2023, there was an administrative update made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that removed National Occupation Classification (NOC) code 73300 for truck drivers from the list of occupations eligible for a certificate of qualification. As a result of this update, truck drivers are no longer eligible for the 50 additional points available to those with a certificate of qualification under the Express Entry PR CRS, so the truck driver route is no longer an easy access to PR and it is also based on LMIA. And as you can see, I said it's closed, but now it's under LMIA AND moreso the truck driver process is not as easy as people say it for a visitor to get the required licences and employment as a new driver in canada . I'm not an immigration consultant, but I pass by 129 Peter Street in Ontario, the Assessment & Referral Centre for asylum seekers, and I hear many stories of the huge amounts people paid just for a visitor visa that could have been used for another route, but they lack information and end up on the asylum route outside waiting for a bed in the over-capacity shelter.i can only hope that God brings healing and guidance to our community and please enough of the insult on the forum and let just share information and exchange ideas.thanks |
MayorOfEdmonton:Firstly, there isn't a detailed list of documents required by the visa officer for a visitor visa application to Canada. It's up to the applicant to present a strong case. I see nothing wrong with including your tax return in the visa application; to me, it's even better than a bank statement, which is what I used to invite my family. Then I added my mortgage papers and car documents, along with a support letter stating they're coming for a visit. I own a house and have a car to drive them to tourist centers, so they won't have to pay for food, accommodation, or transportation. This is usually well-received, and they often get the visa. So, personally, I think the documents listed are ok and acceptable.l even invited my uncle and he didnt even add his own bank statement but l added my tax return as proof of finance. |
lollypopson:Someone has already answered your question, but I'd like to add that stating 2 or 3 months for your visit on your visa application is excessive. It's better to reduce it to 10 or 14 days for the purpose of the visa application. This will lessen the pressure on your financial proof, and besides, it's uncommon for a working person to take a holiday for 2 to 3 months. |
Canadahome:Yes , you can apply gcms note with a new email and ur application number! |
omega2128:I appreciate your research. One thing I advise is not to believe everything you see on platforms like YouTube because the sole aim of content creators is to make money, increase their views, likes, and ultimately promote their paid consultation services. It's best to talk to people on the ground in the country you're planning to visit and not base your decision solely on YouTube videos. Now, ask yourself, how many of those YouTuber content creators are registered immigration consultants? Additionally, it's one thing to state the law, but how practical are LMIA or the truck driving claims made in those videos? Furthermore, that guy in the video is a social worker in the UK who suddenly becomes a Canada immigration consultant on YouTube, talking about easy truck driving routes, when he likely lacks practical knowledge on these issues. For me, I'm not against whatever decision anybody decides to make, but be well informed about the likely outcomes of your decisions, whether positive or negative, so you don't end up on the streets of Toronto or struggling for job or housing then blaming anybody. |
kad199:Are you a student,pr or citizen? |
Oluwaloniglory7:Hello, please include it as ur family still applying for visit visa , you can include it in your support letter but u have to also proof it better for your family to come visit then you going to visit them and please document everything becos l notice ircc refuse some pgwp visa based on the fact the student dont graduate from the program within the sitpulated time and in your situation that you now asking for semester break means u will not finish ur program within stipulated time according to ur student permit and also where was it stated that ur family sowp was refused becos you did not include ur bank statement while ur wife account is well funded did you order ur gsms note? |
Haywhy433:Let ur friend check ircc website if the school and course qualify for pgwp and if not that flag pole therory is a liar but just a marketing format by the private college and part reason some student are stranded after graduate from non- pgwp college especially in ontario .you need lmia to flagpole in that situAtion which is not easy ! |
Inksun:Anyone can invite anyone to Canada for a visit, and attending your boyfriend's graduation ceremony is a good reason with or without pgwp . However, are you underage and in need of a guardian to fund your visa application and trip? Even if you pay 10 billion to anybody, it still does not guarantee you will be issued a visa; that's my major point. Only the visa officer can decide whether to issue you a visa or deny it, not based on an adult having a guardian or the many documents filled out. Please note that those high success rates during the massive visa approvals do not apply now. So, play your gamble well, and know that your 2 million is often not refundable! |
omega2128:Firstly, you cannot convert visit visa to permanent resident automaticaly but apply for work permit or step towards PR 1. Get LMIA job..possible but curent it just1% rate you will be succesful and becareful of scam and not all LMIA will lead to PR 2. Student route....you can apply student route outSIDE canada nd ur visit visa inside canada dont give any advantage in student visa you will still need same requirement like person applying outside canada and pay tuition 3. Truck driving route (shortage Occupation) this route is closed now under LMIA 4. Romance route..it marriage route which ircc closely monitor especially if u marry as visitor 5. Humanitarian/ refugee route that asylum it 50/50 depend on ur story but nt easy again with 99% of nigeria youth visitor to canada suddently become gay and lesbian 6. Personal support worker ( shortage Occupation) closed it now under LMIA Wish u all the best |
Ewaoluwayemi:Order the GCMS note and see what the visa officer stated because sometimes you will be surprised to see the officer's concerns could be different from this generic reasons. |
Ajebogirl:Order your GCMS notes to see the visa officer's detailed explanation regarding the main reason for the student visa refusal. Based on the visa officer's comments, you can address the concerns raised and reapply. |
Kelvinarsenal:Sorry, I am not your visa officer, visa agent, or one of those who share fake sentiment on visa application. It's a public forum, and you cannot silence anybody. If what you read here is not what you want, you can gentle scroll past . It's a public forum to share information and knowledge! |
[quote author=Kenturkey048 post=129585392][/quote] I hope you are not a welder applying to attend a medical conference It an illustration as It's important to choose a conference that aligns with your job aspect and offers benefits to your professional life. Simply selecting any conference for visa purposes isn't advisable, as visa applications are now subject to thorough checks and requirements |
walenden:Unfortunately, the agent's information is incorrect. You should have checked the visa processing times before applying. attach his the GCMS notes of any applicant who was refused because the conference had already passed. The process for obtaining a Canadian visa has changed since early last year when the rules were more relaxed. Now, you must prepare a thorough application, taking into account the processing time for attending a conference, which is currently about six months. I hope you are not a welder applying to attend a medical conference, as this could be a reason for refusal, and unfortunately, some agents can be quite unprofessional.

Jeboy:You've made a valid point. Based on what I've read and seen here, it appears that many people are averse to the truth and instead favor a sentimental approach to visa applications, leading to an increase in scams. It's acceptable when someone shares a story of visa approval, but stories of visa denial are often viewed as failures and cause discouragement. We need to change our perspective on this matter. Information should serve to educate and enlighten us. Labeling it as 'good' or 'bad' is a matter of personal opinion. However, we shouldn't cease information simply because it doesn't align with our desires. Those who have faced visa rejections should feel encouraged to share their experiences just as those with successful applications do. It's not the end of the road! |
ednut1:Sir, you forgot that PNPs are selected from the Express Entry profile and also take CRS points into consideration when selecting candidates. For example, if a particular PNP wants to select 50 candidates in a specific field with scores above 350, a person scoring 360 will be selected before someone scoring 355. That's why the 15 points you claim for family as PR/CITIZEN earlier while creating the Express Entry profile could become controversial if you actually have no family proof. Or maybe I'm missing something and need more clarification on this? |
folla:While filling out the Express Entry profile, if you click "yes" to the question "Do you have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?" and you don't know the person's status in Canada, then you should not claim those 15 points. Not everybody in Canada, even after staying for over five years, is a permanent resident or citizen. Some people may remain as asylum seekers for up to five years, moving from one appeal court to another. If you cannot provide evidence for those 15 points with proof that ur sister is a PR/citizen , it could affect the whole application. |
XYZJAZZY:Based on your previous post, I see you have a travel history to the UK and you are an experienced traveler. Then, I see no reason why you would go via Montreal if Toronto is your destination, unless your intention is to seek asylum. You can arrive in Canada via any airport with proof of your visit, such as hotel bookings, your funds, and your plan for the trip. |
mamawa123:How are u even sure others got visa becos agent are very good at manipulatibg applicant when visa fail! |
hasbunallah:If you try to get an LMIA to change your visitor visa to a work permit, know that it's extremely difficult. As for applying for a USA visa in Canada, you can, but currently, the waiting time for a usa b1/b2 interview is 882 days, which is more than 2 years. So, you're better off applying in your home country than in Canada |
evansky:You can arrive because with the current accommodation problem in Canada, you need time to settle down and search for accommodation, get a car before school resumes. And that will be your reason at the POE, and the border officer will understand if the airline carries you because some airlines do pass IRCC's self-assessment. Additionally, your spouse cannot work until school resumes as a student and you should hold evidence of your fees or how you plan to pay your school fees. There is more checking of fees at the border now as more students are dropping out of school due to financial issues, as getting jobs is becoming harder in canada now. |
Asigbonlusi:You cannot convert visit visa to work visa with ielts..as ielts test score requirement belong to express entry category..you need lmia to convert visit visa to work visa.and lmia is extremely difficult now and l will not advice anybody to pay for lmia becos so many other stuff is invloved that thoes selling lmia will not tell u like not every job qualify for PR becos some seller will liar that after working 1 year you will get PR it not true, some seller do not even have job for you then you stranded with a closed work permit and no job ,even after geting lmia u can still be refused work permit. |
NuCypher:Well good point you outline becos foreign commercial enterprises and individuals who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents are cuŕrently prohibited from purchasing residential property in Canada. The ban is part of the government's efforts to make housing more affordable for Canadians and to ensure that houses are used as homes rather than speculative financial assets . So the visa officer will want to know what you as a foreigner want to gain from canada property exhibition when you cannot even buy or invest in the property based on the current ban. |
wemzack:Firstly,order ur gsms note and see the visa officer major concern probably the conference not even link to ur work, confrence route is under many focus too as it another route many use to arrive canada and stay illegally or claim asylum so you will need to proof beyond reasonable doubt that the conference is actually of benefit to u or ur business and you will return home after the conference. |
Kaymanz:Sorry about your loss but you can still appply for visit visa and explain the need to attend the burial of ur sister. And after you submit your application also send a webform to ircc and explain the urgency to attend the burial.ircc do consider urgent cases like this for urgent visa processing it an emergency situation not created by ur fault. May her soul rest in peace. |
Eriokanmi:"Unrighteous living could affect the outcome of your visa" I disagree with your statement ,your way of living has no connection with visa application even prostitute and fake pastor get visa approval..we are a praying and fasting nation but still under developed filled with corruption and nepotism and many advance countries do not pray and are more advanced than we do! And your travel experience role play a critical role in visa accessment |
Eriokanmi:You have visas for the UK, USA, and Canada, and now you're applying for a German visa. It's important to recognize that visa officers are generally thorough and intelligent. With your huge travel experience, they may not overlook much in your application before approval compare to a new traveller . I respect ur faith and ur beliefs are your fudamental human rights but Please refrain from misleading people into negligence on their applications and thinking that prayer will cover errors or omissions. This is not how God works, and it contributes to the mess in our nation, as we are often clouded by religious bigotry rather than focusing on facts and accountability...the british or germany or japaniese never pray or fast for anything and are still technology and economically advanced than we do.and we still leave our prayful nation to go and live in this prayless nation speech so much about reality! |
. Some people have the resources to convert a VV to study or go into truck driving but they lack info. Instead, they went asylum route. Some people don't know that even your sibling or anyone in Canada can invite you from any part of the world to take care of their old parent(s) (Personal Support Worker) as long as the host is ready to follow IRCC guidelines and make application payment (IRCC has annual quotas for this). If luck is on your side with your VV you can achieve this, though the chances are slim. But at least you know the option is available because you don't know how fortunate you could be. Remember knowledge is power!!!
