It is illegal to work if you are not enrolled in a school and actively pursuing studies. You can only do that 'under the carpet' i.e. Cash jobs, but if you are caught you have violated the terms of your study permit. My own school starts in September and I cannot work till then.

Iggynasia:
It's actually study

Iggynasia:
Hello house,

Please can anyone verify if pictures are still acceptable by cic via online route?

Thank you..

bodejohn:
No news yet...I am suspecting that my bank might be dulling the process. Since my SoA is one of the documents that might be verified.

Arcayo:
But is it advisable to defer for a year immediately someone enter Canada and start working the 20hrs a week without attending school first?

Arcayo:
It's possible but not advisable, don't you think it will tell later when applying for postgraduate work permit or study permit extension? How do you explain that you enter Canada without resuming for your studies a whole year but you are working?
Am not in Canada oo and never seen anybody in that situation b4 but I believe am making sense.

andre99:
NB: I stand to be corrected, to get the Canada vistors visa u must av huge travel history especially a USA visa on your passport, 98% of people on this thread that got the Canada vistors visa had USA visa in their passport. A virgin passport will not do any magic.

samnijazz:
Please what documents did you submit, any travel history and also the route. Kindly put a brother through

Obiwests:
Thanks. I applied on the 23rd of March

Hey Guys,

I applied for Canada visitor visa via online and yesterday, CIC sent me a letter requesting for my original passport. The problem is, I don't want to travel to Lagos or Abuja. I was told I can send my passport to the Visa Office in Lagos or Abuja through UPS and I will have to pay =N=4960. My question is, am I responsible for the return envelope? or does the N4960 covers the cost of sending back my passport?

bodejohn:
Waoh....so sorry to hear that, for some others, the waiting continues....

tnuola:
HayqinsbFX is correct then, its better to give a straight and blunt answer than give one false hope. I'm sure the person wants to know if he can apply for a masters degree with the result from his one year prog.

hayqinsbFX:
if you have a conflicting answer...kindly give the guy..

i would not be crossed with that....

i just told him what i know...

hayqinsbFX:
no
you are not eligible

Vivychi:
Thanks. She got her package today and was denied

Cala:
They do not send approval messages for visit visa. If it's online, they would send passport request. It's obvious this is a paper application so she should just go pick up the passport tomorrow from vfs.

shaffy19:

shaffy19:

bodejohn:
You are about 60 days gone...I did biometrics on the 10th March, so I guess we should expect some information from them this week or early next week...

bodejohn:
Average processing time for a TRV is between 65 and 70days...

Tell your friend to chill for another 2 to 3 weeks...

Hello House,
I have been following this thread on a low key for sometime now... but the worst has just happened lol! I am a student in Canada, and I applied for a visitor's (TRV) visa for my wife and kids, applied online route in March got a rejection notice today.
Reasons:
Travel history
Personal Assets

I attached properties same ones I attached during my own application last year, although they are in my name (land, house), banks statements with good balance and strong inflow and outflow
proof of employment
Business registration certificates

My wife has travelled to the Uk twice in the last 6 years! (she actually came to visit me while I was doing my MSC in the UK)
Don't really know what these guys are looking for! also attached her uk visa showing her trips in and out
I need help in tackling the points they mentioned, as I am planning to reapply!
The woman done cry tire today! lol
I beg house, I need your ideas and inputs on how to counter their points!

Thanks
NB: Keep up the good work! God bless

Your application has been updated. Please sign in to your MyCIC account and check your application status and messages for more information.

This message is intended for the following e-mail address:?. If this message is not for you, please delete it.



The above is the last email I got and the MyCIC account is showing 'not needed at this time ' under biometrics.

snoop4dem:
This was what I actually did also. I just put all necessary docs to show I am in an employment without the introduction letter since my employer is not sponsoring me

bodejohn:
You mean Oct 2015? Are you applying to be the president of CA?
They are completely on their own, since my passport is with me, i have no worries.

mimikoko:
Good day everyone, I sent in my online application for a tourist visa on the 7th of April but I still haven't received any information concerning the biometrics appointment.
Please did anyone have a similar situation?
Thanks.

ayooluwatoni:
Just use your dad's if there's sufficient funds in it. You actually shouldn't need to show any more proof of funds since you got a scholarship to cover all your expenses, but to just be on a safe side, you might wanna have a balance of say 5m.
