Congratulations bro
detolaa007:
I’ve been a silent reader since last year July when I applied for a Canadian visa. I got my correspondence letter yesterday and I saw a couple of people post that you can track your application after your receive the correspondence letter. I registered on the tracking page tonight and I saw my visa application number and expiry date. Now I can confidently wait for my PPR request. Thank you all for being so helpful, you don’t know how helpful you’ve been to a lot of silent readers

TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ikiloba: 10:58am On Jan 15, 2023
Yes it's very quite possible to turn visitors visa to PR.
1 you should be married to a Canadian citizen or PR then apply for INLAND SOWP
2. complete a prerequisites course in a Canadian college or university then apply for INLAND student permit , which will lead to PGWP and then PR.
3. Seeking Aslylum if the applicant or visitors visa holder is fleeing danger in home country or facing injustice and escaping presecution then you can apply for aslylum.its your right to apply and it's Canada right to grant you refugee status.

Hello
Can anyone please answer this
Is it possible to get a PR when you get to Canada with a visitor’s visa
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Ikiloba: 12:30pm On Jan 05, 2023
Most people who applied for visitors visa trv since January last year have not gotten eligibility messages trv is very very extremely slow for now it's not the best option right now, I will advise you to get a doctor's appointment and make payments for baby delivery. That might also FasTrack visa processing.
I will not advise you to apply using tourists or visitors visa .
gideon19:
Hi all, i want to believe this is the wrong thread...but I believe I can still get the help needed, pls.

I plan to travel on Vistors VISA for a medical purpose (i.e. delivery) while still waiting for admission which hopefully should come next month (since they stated that it will take 6 - 10 weeks) for Fall admission.

From our calculation, delivery is to be around July (by the grace of God).

So, i want to confirm it is advisable to pursue Visitor VISA or just wait till i sort out my study permit.

NOTE: I am sure one can update the status from Visitor to Student.

also, for processing Visitor VISA, wouldn't mind knowing if there is any agency that can help out on that, pls.

TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ikiloba: 1:56pm On Aug 30, 2022
The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay

yes, this situation is complicated . The visa officer is not considering your education scores as most prominent and he is not outweighing your work experience to be worthy.

in this case ..things can be done ,
- In sop

paragraph 1

explain previous jobs and relate it o the new studies
- explain your scopes and jobs in your country with with studying this course
finally explain why studying after so long
lizcom25:
Please how does one take care of the issue

"The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application"

You can create a virtual us dollar card on https://app.wallets.africa/login and make payments it's faster and it goes through.

2nd was on 5th January and refused on 20th February
Reasons:
-family ties
-travel record

SOWP submitted on 22nd February 2022,
-Travelled to Dubai on 4th of April 2022 for vacation (my wife came from Canada to meet me there in Dubai) and I returned to Nigeria on 22nd of April and on 1st of May I sent my new travel record via email to kenya, London and lagos IRCC offices with pictures with my wife.I also submitted it as webform. approval was received today, May 5th- 72days!!!. Pure miracle


I should add that I requested for reconsideration of the visitor's visa that was refused in December, and I did not hear from them until today, they sent a second rejection for the visit visa(that is making three visit visa rejections) followed immediately by an approval for the open work permit

I am very excited! I wish everyone waiting - favour!
ah God is too kind
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ikiloba: 5:49pm On Apr 20, 2022
You should wait for the new passport to be out before applying. New passport takes 2-3 weeks processing time by immigration services.if ur current state has alot of applicant like Lagos, edo , Abuja Kano and kaduna. Then you could try other immigration office like ebonyi, bayelsa ,sokoto and benure were less passport application is Being received.

Congratulations sir �
RandD:
Hi everyone. Though I have been a long time guest here, I recently registered to give back to this forum.
I'm a first time applicant, and I applied with the new link.
Here is my timeline:

Visa applied for: Visitor Visa.
Purpose of visitation: To reunite with family member who is a PR holder.
Application submitted online: January 31.
Biometrics completed: February 1 (updated same day on my portal).
Eligibility review: Started March 25/26, not sure of the two dates exactly.
BVL & PPR: March 30.
Sent passport to the VAC office: March 31.
Return of stamped passport: April 13.

Documents submitted:
1. Letter of employment
2. Introduction letter from place of work
3. My statement of account
4. Family member PR card
5. Wife's statement of account
6. Birth certificate
7. Family member statement of account
8. A simple SOP of about 1 page, stating reasons for family reunification
9. Letter of invitation from the family member inviting me .

I started following this Canada Visa thread weeks after submitting my application. At a point I felt somehow about my application, and wished I had done more. Nevertheless, I got a approval within 60days.
What surprised me the most is that I got the maximum duration of Visa on my passport, which is the highest passport duration currently being issued as a Nigerian passport.

My take home in this Visa process is that simple applications are easy to get approval. Moreso a straight to the point SOP is key. I mentioned my background and skills in the SOP, this may also be of huge influence to my application.

I'm indeed grateful to God.

jayifeanyi1234:
My daughter’s tourist visa got approved today...God is faithful! I am super excited.

Application submitted on the 17th January.
Is a renewal, so her biometric is still valid
PPR-12th April.
Applied via the new portal.

Am yet to travel, so is not a family reunion application.

Is a very long story, but has ended in Praise!
In summary;
Keep praying and trusting, even when you don’t feel like.
Put in your very best in your application. Do your research, and ask questions. We have selfless people on this platform that will answer your questions. I say a big thank you to them, and God bless.
Also, there are lots of info on the study permit platform that might help.


God is good!!!!...for all that are expecting their PPR,He will show up for you.

All the best!!!

What should I do?
You have to calculate the time for school and work till present date with no time frame attached . It's usually a minimum of 10 years I guess
