https://www.nairaland.com/2103860/canada-visit-tourist-visa-discussion/566 see this thread. Even me I’m affected applied for a relative since april this year. No show even after contacting my MP.

Ooh goodness Gracious…
Thank you for this! I’ll follow the thread

ednut1:
land first. You are already finding it hard to get accommodation. Imagine adding one more person to the total occupants. Makes the search for accommodation harder. The processing time these days is over 7 months to 1 year for most people . So no put hope for that application one. You will survive before they come anyways

Wawu!! I thought 2-3 months!

Thank you for your response

megastu:
Take it one step at a time. Land, get jobs and then you can invite your parents.

Trust me, most people don't know that POF goes down so fast because they don't expect the kind of costs they meet when they eventually land.

One step at a time, thank you maybe I’ll try doing that

Hello Everyone,

Please I need help .. I have been having sleepless nights… planning my move to Canada is overwhelming! From finding accommodations to jobs …

I will be landing Canada with my family in January and I would love to apply for visit visa for my parent around late January to be of help with our new born.

My problem now is considering we don’t have jobs yet just our POF/ Savings can we act as sponsors?
1) How much Cad do we have to come with or show to make the application successful?

2) can my sibling in Nigeria act as sponsor for my parent to come and visit me in Canada? Ps: my parent is a civil servant so no much funds.
Should my sibling transfer funds to my parents account as gift deed? Or provide his bank statement?

3) I would sincerely appreciate it if I can be added to any post ppr group or Alberta group as we will be landing / living there.

4) please do reach out if you’ve invited your parents .

Thank you very much for responding.

My people from canny una welcome oo �
We plenty here .
UK doesn't have issues with you not having home tie oo.Also just declare all visa denial don't lie or hide anything shikena.

Haha haha thank you for the warm welcome!!!
Okay... Thank you for your response....

Good day
I read through the thread and it’s very insightful. Thank you all for your contributions... please I have some questions and I am very open to your opinions before I begin the uk study process...

I have a biological sister and her family living and working in the UK since 2016.
Currently another of my sibling got admission to study in the Uk and he will be going with his wife as his dependent (they have submitted their visa application) my question is this;

I’m thinking of going for a degree in the Uk though I’ve got plans for Canada but the border restriction is frustrating.....

1) considering that I have 2 siblings in the Uk, if I apply for a study visa, my spouse will be accompanying me (the same thing my sibling is doing) Do you think it would raise a red flag for the visa officer? Won’t there be issues like insufficient ties to home country?

2) I’ve had 1 Uk visa denial on basis of insufficient funds. Will it pose as a problem?

Thank you very much, anticipating your response

Scores won’t be recalculated after adding spouse post AOR

Betterlife2018:


Please my good people, I need urgent answer to this. A friend just got married in November and want to add his spouse, he submitted his application in October this year. He called IRCC and was told his score will be recalculated since he will be adding spouse. I argued with him that that is not true that from all I have seen and heard on this platform - Score will not be recalculated for someone that married after AOR and add spouse.

Please I need someone that add wife recently to please signify and confirm if score was recalculated.

Please this will save a life.

Thanks.

MapleLand2021:
Please how about getting married a few days before ITA, any need for adding pics and chats to? in addition to the marriage certificate

Then in that case, even if it’s a day before ITA and you update your EE profile from single to married, you won’t be asked for any prof of relationship or any other document.
You would need just your marriage certificate and if you want to add your newspaper publication.

Please keep in mind: your score will be recalculated after updating your profile... so it might fall below your score as a single applicant, in that case, your spouse needs Ielts and ECA

But adding spouse post AOR; your score won’t be recalculated, hence your spouse does not require Ielts nor eca

Let me just leave this here for future reference;

Addition of spouse post AOR

STEP 1) Raise a CSE (best before your wedding) stating your wedding date (you can include your invitation card) and also state that you want to add your intending spouse to your application

philrad:
hello guys. Please can I add my spouse to my application post-AOR if I only do a court wedding? Would I be asked for reception/traditional wedding pictures?.

Although I'm hoping to do church wedding and reception mid- next year.

Please this is not entirely true
Let’s be guided

crespo67:
Yes, you can add your spouse post AOR. Your marriage certificate is all you need to show for your application.No need for wedding pictures. If your marriage is brought to question, you most likely will be asked to visit the Accra visa office for an interview were you will prove the legitimacy of your relationship. In that case, old pictures, emails, whatsapp chats, text messages etc will be enough proof. So you can have those ready, but hope it doesn't come down to that.

IRENEME:
Hi everyone- Please can anyone guide me on how to add my spouse to my application
Honestly, I really will appreciate a response, dm, anything. thanks

What’s your AOR?

And to add to your observation, ITA was not issued 24 October 2019... or is there another ITA MPNP issues?

ShoeShineGuy:

Never seen any MEP and BIL case before AOR in my little time in this journey! Enlighten my naivety abeg..

And did you really submit exactly 3months after ITA? That was pre-CORONA era and if I'm not wrong, submission deadline wasn't that wide..

Liispa:


On your PR card, yes.

Thank you so much

Liispa:


You'll still be required to submit another one at PPR

Thank you very much
So the other passport photograph is what will be on the visa?

Please house, I have a quick question..
Will The passport photograph(50 x 70mm that you are required to submit while filling forms post ITA), be used as the photograph that will be on your Visa if granted? Or is it the passport photograph taken of you during Biometrics.

Just say you’re promoting the new App... and advice people to download.. be straight forward!! There’s nothing wrong there...

I downloaded it though and it’s quite resourceful...

Thank you... such a relief

Stencil:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with schooling and working at the same time if that's what you're wondering.

Did you have to explain it in your LOE about working full time and schooling full time?

Stencil:
Yes it counts. I used mine and got PPR. Many have as well.

Quick news:
It is ITA!!
��
Should I drop my timeline now?

Hello house
Please I have a quick question..
A friend just got PPR and he’s processing his landing in few days . He has 2 siblings both in the EE pool with low crs. Is it possible for both his siblings to claim family relationship (extra 15points) at the same time?
Please when best can they claim points ?
Can it be immediately After he gets his PR card or they have to give it time? Say months?
