Congratulations. I am still waiting for update on my mother and mother-in-law's application.
We submitted on Jan 5 & 6, 2022

I will suggest you send web forms (case specific enquiry) directly to Nairobi Visa Office. I sent a few after my mum's application crossed six weeks. I wouldn't say for sure that the enquiries helped, but they might have triggered IRCC to look at the application.

On the flip side, anyone knows someone who has been granted tourist visa without having an immediate (or extended) family member in Canada in recent times?

Congratulations!!!
E be like say this people just want to dey consider only our parents o
Are they scared of the younger applicant

Lol. I'd think it is because older applicants (parents particularly) are considered less likely to abuse their visa conditions.

I am starting an application for my older sister... I hope it goes through. I will be back with the timeline.

Hello everyone in the house, trust we all are doing good.
Please I want to book a flight for February, Ethiopian airline from Abuja to Edmonton. Will my immigration check be in Toronto or in Edmonton? Because if it will be in Toronto, I may likely miss my flight to Edmonton.

Toronto. Should you miss your flight, Air Canada will reschedule your flight at no cost.

Rule of thumb is to allow at least two to three hours for landing formalities before your connecting flight.

Has anyone recently applied for a visitor's visa for their parent during this pandemic period?

My wife and I (both PR) want to apply for a visitor's visa for her mum to come sometime in December. My questions are:
1. Being a family member of a PR, in that she's exempted from the current travel restrictions, do we have to prove that she's coming for an essential purpose (I do think we don't have to)?
2. If we mention that she is coming to witness the birth of her first grandchild (I can't seem to think of another reason), would this count against us as a visa officer may think she's coming to do nanny?

Influential101:
The 5K criterion isn't an issue as they said the money mustn't have been earned in Canada..


You see, my confusion actually stems from the bolded part in your screenshot - "The income does not have to be earned in Canada, but you need to reside in Canada". Not sure if that is speaking to general residency requirement or one is expected to have been residing in Canada while earning the income (like rental income and dividend from one's home country).

Maybe I am the one overthinking this angry

Be careful to avoid future claw-backs. The requirement clearly says you must have lost your job due to the current situation and earned min $5k.

It is possible it is approved as they are most likely trying to get it out to people urgently, but have it in your mind that you may have to repay it in the future and prepare yourself. I don't know for sure, just saying to have it at the back of your mind just in case.

For your first CERB application:
You have stopped or will stop working due to reasons related to COVID-19
For at least 14 days in a row for the period you are applying for, you will not receive:
employment income
self-employment income
provincial or federal benefits related to maternity or paternity leave

You have not quit your job voluntarily
You did not apply for, nor receive, CERB or EI benefits from Service Canada for the same eligibility period
You earned a minimum of $5,000 income in the last 12 months or in 2019 from one or more of the following sources:
employment income
self-employment income
provincial or federal benefits related to maternity or paternity leave

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/benefits/apply-for-cerb-with-cra.html



It was out of abundance of caution that I asked my question. She easily meets the other requirements, and if income made prior to migrating to Canada is considered (she did make as much as $5k in 2019), then she's qualified to apply.

But I get your drift.. one can't be too careful. Thank you

I won't rely on Nairaland for such information. It might be a good idea to call for clarification. If to go by the criteria, the person would not qualify. Some may get the money without qualifying only for CRA to come after that person the next tax year.

Thank you. She will call CRA for guidance.

Hi guys, this is for those of us who just migrated to Canada and couldn't get a job because of the pandemic or just stopped working just after we got a job. We don't qualify for E.I but we can get CERB. We qualify for CERB. I just applied successfully. No dulling.

Good to hear.

How about someone who had not earned $5k in Canada (she obviously made as much prior to migrating) in the twelve months preceding the application but lost her job due to covid-19? Will she qualify to apply?

It's not entirely true. Based on hearsay, some provinces accept while some don't. Unfortunately, I've not seen any one who testified of successful conversion

On a group I belong to, someone converted CIMA (obtained through MRA with ICAN) to CPA. He actually registered and completed CIMA while in Canada and converted it to CPA (Manitoba province).

Hi guys.

Asking for a friend. For peeps that applied to more than one school, did you have to send your transcript to each school separately? Or, did you have to evaluate your certificate with WES and then instruct WES to send the transcript/ECA to the schools?

Thanks

Please is the 400k inclusive of exam and induction?
No. It only covers tuition and one attempt at the exam.

Will one pay this same fee if one fails the case study exam? Thank you.

I'd think so. You may however choose not to pay for tuition, so you pay for only the exam, which is about 200k or so... I can't remember the exact amount.

Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for the ICAN/CIMA conversion?

Currently, it's 400k. Two of my colleagues paid that amount last year.

And whether the 5 years post qualifications is sacrosanct?

No. From my discussion with them, I think you pay higher if you have less than 5 years experience.

All die na die. I am currently going through the CIMA route to get my CPA.
Whether you take 1 exemption or 20 exemptions, as long as you write exams to qualify to be awarded the designation, you are good to go.

Hello,

I want to ask if you completed your CIMA before you moved to Canada.

I soft landed last month, but now I'm back and hoping to write CIMA in May or September. I did register with CIMA before I travelled.

Since you have a post on page 1, you can do it. But given that your PPR is very near, can you keep up with it after PPR?

Downloaded the message, Opened it up.

Dear E,

YOUR IMMIGRANT VISA(S) APPEARS READY TO BE ISSUED.


PPR - Nov 28th.

I’m adding this here to help us understand that the wait time can be invested into something profitable. Don’t just sulk.

The End!

YaaaaY!!! Again, a massive congratulations to you and your family. Super happy for you. Your message "Bro, PPR 100%" still rings in my head every now and then.

What you put on here can never tell the full story... the efforts and all. But it feels good that everything was worth it at the end and your efforts didn't go unrewarded.

You see, good things happen to people who are good to others. Maybe if I had not sent that email to AVO as you suggested, I would still be waiting for PPR. Thank you for all you do.

Bigger exploits in Canada.

From the screenshot, the RR is on "Stat Questions" not police certificate. Did you answer yes to the questions around visa and entry denial on your application? If yes, the RR is normal. Nothing to fret about.

Yes, it did. Nothing noteworthy.

In the officer review section, it just shows "Proof of fund - met" No analysis relating to the makeup is mentioned in the Notes.

Timeline
AOR Feb 18
1st PPR - July 15

August 21 - Request letter to add spouse. I shared the letter here and here .
August 25 - Submitted the ADRs.
September 3 - ADR to pay spouse biometrics and spouse UCI updated. Paid within an hour and attached the receipt through a web form. Got BIL hours later.
September 4 - Raised CSE to change spouse's name on file and passport number. Changes effected and a revised BIL with new name sent within an hour.
September 6 - Completed biometrics. Application updated with biometrics number.
September 9 - MEP updated.
