This is an open forum and those VOs or their agents may be here reading what we post here. Everybody knows that that it is extremely illegal to work with visitor visa. This your question is capable of casting doubt on the bonafide of genuine visitors. t Canada agents may be among us here.

Hello,

I submitted to the same VFS where biometrics was captured so no transmission fees required. You do have to include the yellow paper you were given during biometrics, 2 copies of signed consent form and 2 copies of biodata page on which you will write your phone no and email address. Hope this helps.

Oniqer:
Congratulations!!! Please did you pay transmission fees when submitting your passport? Was it to the same vfs you did biometrics you submitted at?

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Pinkey2021: 7:22pm On Mar 03, 2022
PPR Alert!!!

Family application of 4. (Applied for family members, a father and 3kids).
Purpose: family reunification to join mother and daughter who are international students.

Application date: GC Key - Nov 27, 2021
Biometrics: Nov 29, 2021 (only father & oldest child, other two children are below 10yrs). After 14days and no feedback I decided to try the new portal.
Re-application on New Portal: Dec 13, 2021
(After 14days and no feedback I started sending scattered emails now and then, afterwards I noticed eligibility began.

Then nothing again for one month, so I started sending emails again (now consistently morning and night to IRCC Nairobi, from early Feb for about two weeks).

Feb 25: BVL
Mar 1: PPR for all 4 of them ( 4days after Bvl).

IRCC likes us to disturb them with emails, lol. Sometimes it’s what propels them to look into your application.

God is great. Thank you Jesus.

Please what is BVL, are you able to also share the emails
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Abbeylicious(m): 10:08pm On Mar 03, 2022
BVL is Biometric Verification Letter and it is normally sent along with the PPR (Passport Request) which signfies the final approval.

Please what's the process for sending passport through DHL to abuja?
How do we pay the visa fees since the person wont be present at the visa office to drop the passport.
Thank you.

I used the document list on the portal.
I also attached the PR card of my husband and me, our utility bill, bank statements, employment letters, payslips and letter from our OBGYN. My mum also had travel history to the US so that may have helped?


Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Kurukuru: 12:59am On Mar 04, 2022
Yes, but you must have had a job offer from an emoloyer. Most of the employers here will want to see your work permit before they hire you unless you have an exceptional skill they want to quickly grab

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by ami213: 8:55am On Mar 04, 2022
No, it is illegal to work with a ‘tourist visa’ and you could be deported for that but you can apply for a ‘work permit’ if you intend to work in Canada. If you are spouse of a Temporary resident (International Student, foreign worker etc) you can apply for a “spousal open work permit” inside Canada.

You can apply for an “open work permit” in Canada, that is if you are a spouse of an International Student, foreign worker……………

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by burk: 9:32am On Mar 04, 2022
Good morning all,

Those that enquire if they can obtain work permit with a visitor visa while in Canada. They can actually apply for work in canada with visitor visa. The public policy for that has been extended till February 2023. This public policy was approved since 2020 with subsequent extension till February 28 2022 but it has just been extended till February 2023. So my people you can apply for work permit while jn Canada on a visitor status. Which means you can apply for work in canada with your visitor visa.
