Please how long will it take to get a passport request after biometric. I submitted my biometric on the 8th of February and I'm yet to get by thing from em. I have an occasion to attend April and I'm scared it might not make up
Sir,The process for getting a visa from the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada) doesn't speed up, even if you have an event coming up soon. Even if your event is next month, it won't make your visa process faster. Your visa could still be approved after your event has passed. However, it's unlikely you'll hear back by April because many people who applied in October are still waiting for updates, and you only applied a month ago. So, patience is key when applying for a visit visa to Canada.

LoLs you be character LoLs.
So fast 🤣.
Guy, you better wake up from your sleep as I know you are indeed dreaming.
Guy, stop exposing yourself to the general public as all this indeed shows your level of reasoning.
You still have long way to go as you are still holding on to your past.
Move on and try alternative means.
Visa rejection shouldn't define you.
Try this and have peace of mind.
I am a Canadian permanent resident myself who arrived from Nigeria as a PR holder. I can confirm that the process is fast after you are nominated. The next step is to apply for permanent resident status and mostly within six months, if all your documents are completed, you will be granted the PR. It hurts my heart and I feel sad when I see young Nigerians in canada , even with master's degrees, claiming asylum based on greedy agent advice when all they need to do is take the IELTS and wait in the pool. I hope you will pursue your dreams and goals legally and responsibly.

Hi,
First of thanks. It is for my mum who will be traveling to the first time to Canada and I want a travel buddy for her
I need someone that will assist her in locating her gates since she has never travelled to Canada before.
If your cousin is willing, please let me know. Again, thank you.
Order for ur mum wheelchair and mobility assistance is a service designed to aid elderly or disabled passengers as they navigate through the airport and board the aircraft and it free. With this service, your mother will be among the first to board the plane. Additionally, during transit, a dedicated assistant will be waiting to help her move to her next boarding gate and ensure she boards the plane smoothly. Similarly, upon arriving in Canada, she will receive assistance with everything, including passing through immigration and handling her baggage, until she is safely handed over to you. It's important to give her a piece of paper with your contact details on it, so you can be called to meet her at the exact entrance of the airport.

Yes, she did. We were done with the interview she already kept the passport in. Then she peeped sharply like a notification popped up, while looking at her screen she asked. And i said yes we have an application. Then she said whats the status? I said still pending. That was it.
Yes this happen becos usa and canada share visa informatiin database. Abd it show ur application history on screen since it matches ur name and biometic data so she was only testing ur honesty becos she saw it on the screen that ur were denial canada visa but you said pending.

In life you have winners, then loser. I literally gave you a link. If your wife can't package her experience, do some networking, to get into that 6 figure bracket who's fault is that ? Should I provide further proof ?

The world is dealing with inflation, paying rent, and other expenses. What's your point ? These blue collar jobs are not that difficult to get. It's that most new arrivals have too much pride to do them. Furthermore, why shouldn't new arrivals struggle ? Do they expect to be prime Minister once they land ?
I don't need your proof. A cleaner cannot make 100k in Canada. Stop the liars. My wife is at a senior level in her profession, and not everybody makes above 100k as salary. Only less than 20% of people living in Canada today make above 100k per year, and jobs are currently difficult in Canada, even factory jobs or cleaning positions. Stop all this sugar-coated talk and speak the truth. This type of false narration is leading our youth to arrive in Canada with fake hope and be disappointed or stranded.

These are all mostly just soft life Nigerian ladies who can't work as international students while paying their fees. Hard-working Nigerian men and women who are students are not doing this rubbish. The only people doing it are the nail-painting, Maldives-vacationing, soft life women who won't dare to go wait tables to make up their tution fees. They then go to gofundme and start requesting for tens of thousands of pounds, most of which will not go directly to the tuition, but to maintaining their soft life. If they can't work as student, they should return back home to Nigeria. Or didn't they prove to the embassy that they could totally fund their studies abroad? This gofundme is turning gradually into a pandemic and should be curbed quickly at this early stages by simply ignoring these women.
I believe the era of working and studying to pay fees and living expenses without external financial support is not currently feasible in Canada. Given the current challenges in finding jobs for newcomers and the high cost of living, only very few students manage to secure jobs, while residents and citizens also face difficulties in finding or changing jobs

Hello House,

Is it possible to obtain Canadian visiting Visa while in US a visitor without been asked to go back to my country (Nigeria to apply for the Visa).
If yes, can someone give me a lead on how to go about it ?
Firstly, it is easier when you apply canada visa from your home country with a USA visa on ur passport . It is faster. But now, being in the USA, you can try. If you are a regular traveler to the USA, it will also help your case. However, as a first-timer in the USA, I hope you have not overstayed because you need to explain why you are applying from the USA since you are not a USA resident or student.

Since you've been issued a TRV already, why not just go and come back and then, apply for a resident visa? Even your job permit/express entry application (hoping you've secured a job already cos job is hard now, somehow) would be given a boost cos you've visited and come back. The process would be expedited.
Everyone should take note of this, especially the young ones who wish to emigrate. Traveling is an investment so, Invest wisely for a quick and favorable ROI. If you go now with your TRV, it's risky if you don't come back. This is a hard fact. Even those who emigrated legitimately are facing job challenges right now though they have hope which a TRV holder doesn't have. You don't want to enter canada and be counting beautiful skyscrapers and bridges naw. Rather, you want to work and enjoy a good life. They can't be compared with those who carry TRVs.

How many people would the asylum favour? Does it even still work? I visited a friend in Chicago in 2018. Inside the building were 5 Nigerians who were in their late 40s and early 50s. They told me though they were in America, their final destination was Canada. Before I left the US, my friend said they had all left for Canada via the USA border. On getting there, one was lucky while the rem 4 were held by CABSA. They all had families back home. You don't want to go through all the risks naw.

Come back, prepare well for emigration through a legit means. Even if you apply as a student, your visa approval won't be an issue cos of the experience but you also need to meet the requirements which i believe you easily can, doing it on your own. Amazingly, you would still meet those who have chosen to stay back with their TRV, still running up and down for a solution by the time you go back. When I went to school in America, some of my friends who travelled same time as me on a B1/B2 visa who chose to stay back are still in America today, still no papers, nothing. Parents are old. Some aren't even alive anymore. They only cried and cried and accepted their fate cos they couldn't come home. What a life!

I know my advice still would pass through some desperate guys' deaf ears but trust me, if you can apply via a legit means, your journey would be faster and smoother into life's comfort. Don't bother taking time it would cost you into consideration. Those who got admitted into unis after covid will be graduating this year. So, its not as far as you may have thought. Good luck!
You've accurately highlighted the reluctance of many youth to accept a truth, emphasizing the mistake of comparing asylum situations from 5 to 8 years ago when Canada's economy was stable to the present crisis. Asylum has become a political issue in most advanced countries. Many voice concerns about the costs associated with government spending on asylum seekers. Seeking asylum is akin to a gamble; only a few succeed, and many face rejection. So, if you're prepared to gamble with your life, be mindful of the risks. If your case fails at the first hearing, you'll embark on a lengthy, expensive stressful appeal process to challenge your deportation order, with expenses coming out of your pocket as legal aid does not cover appeals with no aasurance of succes at appeal. Awareness of these risks is crucial before deciding to pursue asylum. I see many fake, greedy agents marketing visitor visa to claim asylum as if it's a birthright, which is not true. I wish everybody good luck in their life decisions.

Hello there, good day! I have a quick question. My family and I have applied for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to Canada, but we have not yet done biometrics. Due to the delays from our immigration lawyer, we couldn't submit our visa earlier, and the Chinese New Year is approaching. Since that's the best time to travel as we currently live and work in China, we figured that we wouldn't be able to get the visa before the holidays. Therefore, we decided to go on a Europe tour instead. Unfortunately, our visa was refused because the consulate was unable to check our ticket. We had only made an airline reservation and gotten the itinerary, but it had a payment time of 30 minutes and would be canceled if we did not make payment. I didn't know that they needed the reservation to be active until the visa was issued. However, since I have used this type of reservation for almost all of our family visas I have applied for and never encountered any problems before, I thought it was fine. But unfortunately, it resulted in us being refused. My question is, should we raise a webform and inform RICC about this refusal, or since it happened after the submission of our visa, should we just leave it? I did ask our lawyer and she said we can raise a webform and inform them but I'm just not sure if that's the right move to make.
No, there's no need to inform IRCC about a visa refusal that happens after you've submitted your application. IRCC typically only requests updates for changes in your status, such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a new baby after you submited your application.

I've been aware of many students facing unemployment since last year. The current job situation in Canada is challenging, even for Permanent Residents (PR holders) and citizens. Given the high cost of living, it's nearly impossible for students to envision covering their expenses without external support.even to get simple cleaning job still not easy.i pray God help everybody especially student coming with family and children.

Heated driveways use electric systems or hydronic heating to melt snow and ice. These systems are installed beneath the driveway surface, providing a convenient way to keep driveways clear without manual snow removal.

Most people here are new applicants or agents trying to recruit clients with bogus stories. If you are an applicant, do not take any advice here as professional immigration advice. Do your own research because I live in Canada, and many people get banned and later have to look for a lawyer, which is not cheap or even just a wasted effort. People should stop attaching sentiment to immigration matters and follow the rules to avoid being banned, not relying on somebody else's friends and family storylines. I just corrected another man on another forum claiming a cleaner earns over 100k in Canada, which is 100% lies. This kind of misleading fake story makes people sell property thinking it's all rosy here in Canada. Let's be patient, do your own research, and know that some just share different fake imaginary stories here for different reasons. If you are an applicant, focus on other aspects of your life, not just online, because IRCC timelines differ. I see many planning to stay back on visitor visas, but that's another episode itself. Jobs are highly competitive in Canada due to over-immigration, so start learning the right skills that will be useful in a competitive market. Most young Nigerians arriving in Canada now lack the needed skills and struggle daily for jobs.

You’d now see lots of them being frustrated coz they’ve not gotten any jobs related to what they studied during the boot camp.
There are solid bootcamps out there, but you as a person have to put in the work too. Don’t depend solely on what they teach you in these bootcamps, you also have to go further by studying extra.

Anyhoo, all the best to them.
In Canada, many private career colleges are solely focused on extracting money from students by making false promises of jobs in the tech field and encouraging the use of OSAP loans. However, the teaching quality and knowledge imparted to students are often lacking, leading to graduates struggling to secure the promised tech jobs and in debt too

PLEASE New students should be mindful of the escalating financial challenges among Nigerian students, compounded by current economic crises and housing issues in Canada. Given the current job scarcity, it's advisable to ensure you have ample funds for at least three months, covering your upkeep, accommodation, and at least more than 1 semester tuition fees. Many students who arrived in 2023 especially since September are confronting employment challenges, and there might be hesitancy to share difficulties, mirroring a perception in Nigerian culture that facing such challenges abroad is synonymous with failure.It's disheartening to witness fellow countrymen and women enduring such hardships in the pursuit of relocating abroad.I wish you all the best !

When choosing a course or school, it's crucial to check tuition fees for affordability and confirm if the course offers a PGWP after completion. Whether applying for a student visa inside or outside Canada on a 5, 3, 10, or 20-year visitor visa doesn't significantly impact the process. A medical test which is cheaper in nigeria compare to inside canada, proof of funds (increasing from $10,000 to $20,635 CAD from Jan 1), and a strong Statement of Purpose (SOP) are still required. Applying inside or outside Canada doesn't guarantee approval or denial. Admission processes take time , so it better to start applying to schools even before u enter canada on visitor visa. Note: that you are not converting your visitor visa to a student visa; you are applying for a student visa, which is a different category of visa and you have to meet the requirement.

Greetings all, pls I will like to confirm the docs to get handy and the questions to expect at Toronto POE with a SP, SOWP and Visistors VISA for children.
At the Port of Entry (POE), they often request your school admission letter, introduction letter,they may ask to see ur proof of funds, evidence of school fees payment, or details on how you plan to pay. Additionally, they may inquire about your accommodation arrangements. Please plan accordingly. The rate at which nigerian students are getting stranded and resorting to seeking asylum is alarming. Job opportunities are currently scarce in Canada, so it's advisable to have enough funds to cover your expenses for at least three months. Many individuals who arrived since September are facing challenges in securing employment. If you're bringing a child, please plan accordingly. I wish you all the best.

Enddystar:
Deep Secrets about Claiming Asylum that Nobody Tells You About.

1. You’re gonna tell a lot of lies. Be ready.

2. You’re going to bring your children up to tell and perform these lies too.

3. Canada currently has a housing crisis. This means that the demand on the housing market is insufficient for the supply of people coming to Canada. Hence, shelter apartments are filled up. Some Asylum seekers are sleeping in tents outside the streets.

4. When you do seek asylum, you can not get a permanent resident through any other pathway until your asylum claims are verified.

5. This means that you’re ineligible for any other pathway. Even if you do study in Canada, or get married to a citizen you cannot apply for permanent residency through this pathway.

6. Asylum seeming can take several years to come through and at the end of it, you may still be deported back. Several people have been deported. I see links of people raising go-fund me accounts for these families just so that they can have a softer landing as they return home.

7. Even if your child is born here while you’re an asylum seeker, you and your child may be deported back because the child is still a minor and you the primary caregiver have no settlement here.

8. Seeking asylum means that the government would give you a work permit to look for a job. The government does not give you a job. But you have a permit that enables you to get a job.

9. This job does not qualify you for permanent residency because they’re not often skilled jobs. It’s just for you to feed, and take care of your children (if any). It’s after your claims have been verified, then you can work for some years and start your PR process.

10. Your claims can take several years to come through.

11. Once you claim asylum you can no longer return to the country you claim is pursuing you. The thing is that you’re claiming you’re being pursued or prosecuted and want to seek refugee in a new country. Some people find a way around to travel through Ghana or other neighbouring countries. Lots of time and money.

12. Looking through all of the provincial pathways for all of the ten provinces in Canada, asylum seekers are not eligible to apply for ALL of them. Check the comment section to see some screenshots from the Saskatchewan province.

13. If you do apply, your application will be denied. If in the unlikely event that your application is granted because an offer missed this information, your PR would be revoked.

14. Amidst the COVID pandemic, Canada extended permanent residency opportunities generously; like pure water, particularly to healthcare professionals facing overwhelming demands. While this was a rare event, some still seekers were fortunate to get PR during this exceptional period.

15. This pathway has worked for a few people. However, for one person it has worked for, there are over 1000 people it has failed.

16. Nigerians facing this problem are not being honest with their folks back home. Many of such people just tell their friends and family that they’ve gotten jobs. These naive people back home believe them and also want to come to Canada through this same route unaware of the untold hardship and expenses they’re going to spend.

17. Despite having a work permit, asylum seekers have the same first digit of their social insurance numbers starting with “9” same as anyone with a temporary permit. This tells any employer that your status is not completely settled.

18. There are loads of job restrictions that asylum seekers can not apply for and to.

19. Many employers would rarely employ an asylum seeker for a full-term permanent role because they know they’d always have immigration issues. Hence asylum seekers are left to fall back to casual jobs.

20. How do people claim asylum? They apply for visiting visas and then go to the border at different points in Canada to change their status from visiting to refugee seeking.

21. Once you do this; you’ve lost your visiting visa status and now you’re a seeker. You’re technically saying bye-bye to Nigeria; your family and friends (except you came with been), and welcoming you to a world of performance lies

22. Many immigration lawyers say that this is not a route they’d advise for their family members.

23. If you know anyone who has left their home country and hasn’t returned home in a long time. His mama died, e not fit to return. His papa died, e not fit to go home for burial. This person is not able to go home for important celebrations or activities, he’s probably an asylum seeker in the country where he resides.

24. It is worth the stress, the lies, the emotional and physical torture? The funds? This is NOT a route I advise. However, it’s a decision for you to make yourself. My job is to bring these realities to the fore.
100% fact!

First advice: apply for a GCM note to better understand the specific reason.

Recommendation for finance: in your next application, show proof of fund (bank statements - you and your husband), source of fund (pay slips, self employed - evidence of business transactions, if you use different account for salary, business and savings, include both bank statements - it shows evidence of what you earn/profit, where it is deposited and how it moves (savings and spending), letter of explanation - if there is any lump sum in the bank statements (as low as 300-500k: explain it).

Processing officer do not look at only the available money in your account. You have to show proof that it is available to you and the source of it. If the source cannot be verified, they deem it as inflated for visa purposes.
Considering that eight out of every ten Nigerians I recently met in Toronto, who initially arrived on tourist visas, are now applying for asylum, I doubt the lenient approach will continue indefinitely. It seems that the IRCC is recognizing that many individuals are not genuine tourists.we abuse every opportunity and call it Japa And you think it will not affect others applicant!

Hell gurus in the house ,

I just got refused today… it’s says my information shows I have a debt to the crown , pls gurus , what does it mean and what can I do ?
Ur agent is a scammer ,Who did the chargeback?
Some of this agent will use stolen credit card to pay visa fee or after payment will request a refund via the bank leading to a chargeback ..that main reason u now owing the crown. If you apply canada visa 1000 times it still refuse until you pay that money that was chargeback so contact ur agent to tell u the truth.

Yes i travelled with it to birth my baby over there and came back.
Now i want to go back and the reason I stated was to take my child who is a Canadian citizen to see our family doctor over there.

My current visa would expire soon.

Hopefully they answer me fast
Do you include a letter from the said family doctor in canada becos having a kid in canada will not make ur applicatiom express but it will be term urgent only if u can proof the trip is for urgent medical reason backed by doctor letter.

I am providing this update in case it may be useful to anyone.
I am sharing a just completed WES evaluation for a School of Nursing with WES and the outcome is a Canadian equivalence of = Three years of Hospital study and training which I believe is equal to a bachelor’s degree as explained on IRCC site below:

"Bachelor's degree OR a three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute"
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/criteria-comprehensive-ranking-system/grid.html

what WES requested are:

1. Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, Certificate of Registration and confirmation of enrollment status. (This was requested on NMCN website, you will pay a fee for this to be sent to WES electronically)
2. Academic Transcript from the School of Nursing and Nursing Registration Certificate.

Please note that it may be time-consuming as it depends majorly on the response time from your school / NMCN. but in this case, NMCN was fast.
So can you work as a nurse or practical nurse in canada with the evaluation or what next?

Team,

Please I need an urgent response

I read somewhere where it was stated that for that "Students must complete 6 months of studies in Canada to invite family or friends." Please can someone urgently throw more light on this. Is this true?

Does this mean that a wife who is a student and has done 1 month of studies cannot invite her husband and children until she has completed 6 months of studies?

Someone with experience should please help explain. Thank you.
There is no specific requirement that students must complete 6 months of studies in Canada to invite their family or friends.
