I think people here are rather too uncivilized to understand her point. Shows how wack Nollywood industry is, no standard.

Thanks for the explanation.

House34:
Very simple. You claim in your application that you have a job,family back home as your home tie and going for 10 days holiday in Canada , but suddenly you arrive in Canada and spend 6 months as a visitor. Then you ask for an extension because you need more time to visit other locations in Canada which was granted by ircc , making it 1 year as a visitor. After that, you travel home, stay for 2 months, and then come back to visit again. You may likely be refused entry because you are no longer behaving like a genuine visitor. I have seen that before. The guy even went to Mexico, stayed for 2 weeks, and then came back to Canada, he was refused entry but decided to claim asylum but his case was given expedient hearing date as they see him as suspicious and it all end in asylum rejection after 5 month waiting period and over 2 hours of questioning at the asylum hearing by the judge .

Please I want to know how seeking an extension via visitor record can diminish the chances of getting a visitor visa when it's the IRCC that also approve such visitor extension to applicants based on merit of their case.

Please help me out as I want to be guided.

House34:
I hope you are aware that having a 2,3 or 10-year visit visa does not mean you can stay in Canada for 2,3 or 10 years as a tourist. The maximum stay at any given time is 6 months or less, depending on what the border officer decides. An extension for another 6 months is possible, but it is not automatic and may diminish your chances of returning to Canada in the future.

March Applicant looks like unending wait...

Almost a year without my baby🥲

Clapaudan:
February Applicants get ready.
Your long waiting decision is here.

Get set!

And remember to share your timeline as soon as it drop into ur mail!

Success!

That is it bro, once you can hit that milestone of attaining PR or Citizenship bringing your family members to Canada becomes easier if you are working and have proof of financial capacity. They also trust Canadian PR and Citizen holders will not involve in anything that will tarnish there credibility.

God no go shame our hustle.

NuCypher:
That's a valid point

I don't think so. Visa officers are very careful of denying families of Canadian citizens or PR holders especially where they meet the minimum requirements.

Your submission may have been correct if the brother is just a temporary resident that is working or schooling.

NuCypher:
Very likely your marriage certificate did more of the magic. As a single applicant, you may have stood less chance, regardless of those other impressive documents. COngratulations!

Bros, you are already sounding desperate. Do you think visa officers are novice?

Even if your financial situation changes you need time to be able to explain to the visa officers that you were able to fix the financial issues it's not by rushing to apply.

VO now requires home assets and N20m to N25m PoF that can be justified with your earnings especially for those without travel experience. Hence the high refusal rate.

Ndubestjude:
bro what if i go to my bank to request for a loan,for so so amount to be in my account then i will print it out and make a clam that i sold my landed property to raise this money, asin to prove to IRCC that i sold my land property? Then I will do the land paper that shows that i sold my land, is it good to go?

If u applied for Work visa (sowp) that is what you should get and not visitor visa.

However most time what they give you is a visit visa for the time of work permit your spouse have.

Your work permit authorization will be given to you at the Canada airport by CBSA officers.

I don't think there is any issue here.

walerules22:
I got PPR on 24th of June 2024

Stick to your application information.

With the rate of suspicion of Nigerians filling for asylum, if you change your narrative you may be charged with misrepresentation which can lead to deportation and ban.

jubrilar:
Hello house, pls where can I book cheap hotel in Toronto Canada.

I also need your advice, I have a friend who is currently staying in Canada. For point of entry purpose, should I tell VO I am staying with him or I sould book an hotel. because when I am applying for the visa, I used hotel

The family is saying it's not suicide and they are not going for autopsy. Can you beat that?

Nigerians deserve there sufferings. They are either uninterested in taking part in voting process of good leaders, they choose ethnicity and religion over credibility and then wait for diaspora help..no way.

Enjoy the dividend of democracy you installed.

Happy Independence day 🇨🇦 , a country that works for all.

I don't do most of these secular song but men Burna boys track Common Person always blew my mind cos it reminds me practically where I am coming from and anytime I hear that track I am taken away to reminisce.Honestly it's not about the beating, is mostly about the inspiration behind the song.

She is new and supposed to be listening to people here maybe she wants to experience a first refusal first.

I remembered when I first applied for student for my wife using myself and her elder sister as sponsor she was refused. I attached a picture of my wife and her sister taken about 18 years ago with birth certificate showing blood relations.

Next time I just used myself and my wife alone and she got it.

If visa officer can frown on education assistant by siblings talk more about less important activity like vacation.

Let her sister send the money to her ahead of her application date and let the money sit in her account for 4 months before applying. By so IRCC is not seeing any sisters support for the vacation.

noeloge82:
Hi just to add to what u have been told if example you are putting your sister as your sponsor and her statement has $4k and she is given you 3k for sponsorship this is a red flag it wouldn't fly cos the VOs will expect that someone sponsoring another person for holiday should have over enough execpt you can prove that the impact of the holiday will affect your sponsor very very positively, of possible I will suggest you go through the advice already given and think it over before submission it's always good to get it right on POF in the first attempt ,
Wishing you the best

I am not surprised when people believe silly things. Faith without work mentality has made a lot of people overly religious with intellectual bankruptcy. They just want to succeed cheaply and ascribe the reason to fake grace.

Most remote work requires work authorization.

cosade:
If you’re highly skilled in IT with certification in your area of specialisation, then search for remote & contract works in Canada for freelancers.

Best of luck!

I really found out something strange today. I was earlier refused Open Work Permit for attaching insufficient documentation about my spouse full-time study last year. I just decided to order my gcms notes only for me to find out the visa officer could not state the so-called missing document that he used to decide that my document is insufficient.


IRCC are big yahoos. If I knew earlier, I would have appealed.


Please if you have similar reasons just order the gcms note and find out the truth at least for your knowledge sake that the fault may not be you.

Bros pls what does it imply to have one's application profile updated?

No change on the Application portal but tracker has just got the Biometric Completed while Background check still in progress and Medical plus Eligibility are on Not started.


Anyone with similar experience and what does it implies can drop hints....note, I applied in late March this year and not a first time applicant.

Ashirioluwa:
This happens all the time, and you don’t need a lawyer or an agent to solve this problem.

All you need is a bank reference letter from your bank.

While I agree with you that it is not ideal to claim a situation you cannot defend the ask here is NOT for proof of hometie but proof of Purpose.

Probing Purpose cones first before hometies because even if you are worth over 200 million naira and all the people in your village are your parents and siblings...if your purpose isn't strong you will be rejected. Purpose determines the first reason why you should be considered for the admission so it is very strong.

What he can do here is to approach someone who has an IT company let him get a backdated offer of employment letter with the companys letter head for an entry level IT role and back it up with salary payment to your account which you will also print that you work there. At least 2 months salary payment evidence before you apply.

Also include Leave of absence that shows your employer support your study abroad detailing how it is going to help the company and that your job is guaranteed when you return back. This letter must be written by the company HR or MD. That's how to improve your purpose for applying for the course. This is what I have used before that works. I come in peace.

Also be ready for the HR or MD to be emailed in case there will be need to prove.

JMG12:
Don't declaim what you can't defend with documents. There are other ways to prove home ties instead of declaring what you can't defend with a document.

Let me try, though ppl say the chance is 0.1%

1. Evaluate your transcript gottent outside Canada in WES so you can get the Canada equivalent

2. Research the job areas of interest to know where your target your beam search is fully equipping yourself with the skills, experience, education, certification etc

3. Standardized your resume and cover letter to the specific job based on knowledge in 2 above.

4. Apply on Job bank, Indeed, LinkedIn and Glassdor for roles with sponsorship visa

5. Be very used to regret Mail and keep updating and finteuning your application till you hit the goldmine.

freshStarz:
Greetings guys

Please how can I get a job in Canada while living in Nigeria?

Are you sure you re real? All downloaded bank statement even from mibile app comes with electronic stamp by default.

glowrya:
No it wasn't, I just downloaded it from the bank app as you can easily request for your statement directly from the app instead of going to the bank.

You need to meet some requirements to qualify for study visa in Canada as a visitor as not everyone can qualify else you will be refused.

1) Your spouse must have work or study permit
2) You did a short course (less than 6 months) that qualified you for that study admission
3) others.

Let me share a link for people's enlightenment so think very well before you think you want to use local sense to bypass Canada immigration.

affoncad:
Visitor visas and student visas are two different categories of visas. If you arrive in Canada with a visitor visa, you need to secure admission, pay the school deposit, and get a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) and (PAL) If you applied for a master's degree, PAL is not needed, but you must complete a medical exam, which is more expensive inside Canada. Then you apply for a student visa. Additionally, you have to show your proof of funds along with a Statement of Purpose (SOP) and then wait for the visa, which is not 100% guaranteed. If your visa is approved, you go to the land border to get your study permit. Please note that applying for a student visa inside Canada gives no added advantage; you will still be assessed based on all requirements, especially your proof of funds.

Na wa oh this Canada ppl no go break person heart..lols.

My spouse just told me of a live case. The man applied for SOWP extension based on hid spouse new status of PGWP having graduated but IRCCC refused his application for the wife not attaching an offer.

They had to go to border and do flagpole with Spouse offer letter, the CBSA guys still said the offer letter is old how are they sure she works there? The spouse has to show them her current pay stubs from phone before they gave her spouse SOWP extension .

If they can do this to someone with already SOWP talk less of a visitor or no status person. Final answer, your spouse with PGWP must have a full time offer for a spouse or children dependent to be qualified for SOWP or study permit..

I was thinking of doing a Masters myself since my spouse College can no longer qualify me for SOWP but having found this link that explains that with her PGWP which should be due in May 2025, I can apply online with her for PGWP. I have to back track for the masters oh, money wey no dey surplus bayii.

I welcome all the learned contributors in the forum to go through the above and analyze.... seems IRCC is not consistent with their who qualifies for Open Work Permit.


The above suggests families (spouse and children) of Foreign Students who have PGWP can directly apply for Open Work permit without requiring any Teer 0-5 skill job wether in Canada or outside Canada.

At another link I quoted before this, they added that a Teer 0-3 or Teer 4-5 job must be attached by the PGWP Primary applicant.


I need contributors to the above, lets analyse and conclude for the enlightenement of all. cc: @Bobomaigida

Who started this trend that portal affects the outcome of Canada Application? Ensure you do the needful and forget about leveraging old or new portal to improve your chances.

ramobiojo:
New Portal

I guess 21k is standard for living expenses for student applicant because he or she will rent apartment to start with and other bills.

If a spouse is join8ng him or her, he or she cannot be subject to same 21k so the 7k plus slack suffice since they can co-live with student spouse to minimize cost of living.

So you re right my guy. How is it going bro?

Bobomaigida:
No sir/ma, the 21K is for the principal applicant, there are some costs that a dependent will not incur again, cost like housing and utilities. The ideal thing to do is to show a minimum of 7k, not just exact 7k, build some slack into the amount so that it is not considered to be on the bother line.

Thats the proof, I just corrected myself. Valid.

AlNur:
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Try Masters (school) if you have a good undergraduate degrees.

I can help you with a strong SoP if you have other things intact.

It's not Canada fault, our people abused it.

I know of a family that had hotel business in Nigeria that is bringing cool money but spent over 10m to get a Canadian visa for his family via immigration lawyers and they will apply for Asylum.

This person profile is economically stronger than most of us here but that is his aim. Why should Camada see you differently? Tell me.

Eyiteemama:
Canada has kuku denied me the visa, so I don't feel the need to further explain myself to someone that's not my father. I won't be applying for their visa again because no matter what I write, they'll still see me as a desperate asylum seeker.

I'll be trying somewhere else. Best of luck to dem wey get the country.

You don't need a new permit, get the new admission acceptance and apply for extension explaining your circumstance. My wife had a somewhat similar case but a little different from yours.

So since you wont need a fresh study permit application that cones with 21k living expensees, you wont need to do a new medical.

mummyprincess:
Good day, All.
I need help from people that experienced a situation like mine or know people that did.

I started my 2 yr diploma program in Fall 2023 but in my second choice of study. I had to apply for program change to my preferred program and it was granted to me( my college policy is that an international student must complete at least one semester in the program the study permit was gotten before changing). Unfortunately, the intake to my new program is only in fall, so I had to wait. I returned home after discussing with my school immigration specialist. I was told it would ONLY be a problem if I stay in Canada for 8 months of no study. I had the option of continuing with my old program in January but I didn't , since there will be no certification for just one year in it with all the money.

I have been given a deposit to make for the new program which I am about to pay but my questions are:
1. Do I need to do another medicals since I have stayed out of Canada for Six months and my last medical is over one year?
2. What is the proper way to let IRCC know about my program change?
3. Do I have to apply for a fresh study permit ? OR Apply for Study permit and Visa extension with the explanation that, it is due the change of program.

Please, I need a detailed outline of what to do in conformity with IRCC rules and regulations.

Note: I have written mails to my school but the replies are not straight to the point.

Thanks.

Everyone asylum seeker said this until they got an opportunity of a visit visa, they abused it.

Eyiteemama:
I had enough money to support myself and I was planning to migrate through legal means. Had it been it didn't work out, I'd have eventually left Canada. I'm not a clueless asylum seekeer

Appreciate.

Bobomaigida:
This should fly, the key is to have funding sources that will be used to repay the loan as they fall due. Since you are self sponsored, you need to look for a way to explain how you will keep on getting funds to repay the loan without recourse to working in Canada.
