Good evening my gurus, please I want to relocate to Canada through visiting visa, and I want to apply myself I don't want to use any agent, but don't know how to go about it. Please I need your help

If you find yourself in Canada there are people I know who have changed their visit visa to study permit, work permit etc legally you just have to plan which one you will go for after you land even there assylum option, so its very possible but don't disclose your intentions at the POE. Stay blessed

In fact, it's frustrating. My application is more than 3 months already and nothing yet. Anyway, I will request for my GCMS note second week in October if I still don't see anything. Make I even know what's happening.

What type of response is this?
Is everything okay at home?

He is actually right. An MP won’t leave his constituency to be helping someone coming on Visits. It’s the truth. People should reason before they start doing things

Tips to get Canada VV
1. Have a family in canada- mostly direct sister brother mother father, spouse, makes it easier
2.If 1 is not available, have strong ties in Nigeria , yeah even if you have a direct family you still need ties to Nigeria but someone who does not have must have double the ties
If you are doing conference make sure you have a track record in the conference you are going for, maybe attended similar conferences in other countries, my friend got tru this route because she attends conference in Un every year so it was easy for Canada to approve
4.Build a profile for yourself, a solid profile with proof of work
5.have travel history. Canada is a family society not a tourist destination. Family visit will always supersede tourism.Without travel history and no family ties, it’s almost impossible. Travel history to top countries US UK Australia etc Those are their Allie’s
6.Have funds to take care of yourself

Both the new and old portals are stagnant. No PPR for now. Hopefully it will change soon and we will all rejoice over our approvals.

They will stress you in Naija when you get back. Shrink wrap your suitcase please oo, if possible roger them when you want to exit the airport because they will stress you unrealistically. In other news dont forget to collect your VAT refund form at the shop and collect your 7% VAT at the airport in Singapore before returning to naija.


Wow, thanks for the information on the tax refund, i never knew about it. I will surely claim this. You sound like you are quite familiar with Singapore. Been there?


I don't know if there is a way to ship them to USA cheaply from Singapore so i can buy an extra 4 and ship to m USA address.

Both portals are good. There should be a reason IRCC launched the new portal for visit so you can stick to the new portal.
There is no harm in trying and give your best shot for your brother. Make sure his application addresses all the eligibility criteria for his intended visit for your wedding. Check IRCC web for all the eligibility criteria.

You guys can draft a one-page Letter of Intent or purpose of visit and explain section by section Professional Background and Work Experience, Home Ties, Proof of Finances, Travel History and with a good conclusion of your understanding to abide by the laws and regulations of Canada. Remember Canada does not conduct interviews like the United States so make the documents speak for him as much as possible in his absence.

Something like statement of Purpose for student visa but this can be more concise and with good introduction. Let it be the first page they see on the client section of his portal. You can then make the next page Confirmation of Invitation by you (indicating you are inviting your brother). This would help the visa officer to have a quick overview of your brother profile before commencing their checks on the documents.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Letuspraytogod: 7:21pm On Sep 18, 2022
I just login and checked my documents submitted right now.
Everything has been submitted until I reached “optional documents”
It’s asking for (Application for a Temporary Resident Visa made outside Canada IMM 5257)
Deadline to be submitted October 8.

Even tho form for Application of study permit made outside canada has been submitted and acknowledged.

I asked Agent about this & she said it isn’t necessary as it’s the same details as Imm1294.

Please what do y’all think about this? Is she right?
@olasubomy and other gurus. Thanks

@olasubomy and other gurus. Thanks

If you are applying with a passport from a country that doesn't require a visa to visit Canada then IMM5257 is optional. But since you are from Nigeria , you need to fill that form. To make it clearer to you;
IMM1294 : is for your study permit application.
IMM5257: is for the visa you will use to travel to Canada, if your study permit is approved.

If you fail to fill and submit the IMM5257 before the deadline , then your study permit application will most likely be rejected.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by lubriderm(f): 8:57pm On Sep 18, 2022
Please I need a second opinion from the gurus in the house.

My sister who has PR just gave birth and is inviting my mom to visit (< 6 months) so she can help with the baby. My mom's marital status is slightly confusing. This is because she was not legally married to my dad asides traditional bride price paid but she bears my dad's surname. My mom and dad have gone their separate ways now and she still bears his name and some of her documents bear Mrs. What should she choose as marital status? If she selects separated/divorced, dates would be required and there is no document to prove this in the first place. Or should she select single?

Secondly, my sister is fully sponsoring her trip and other expenses that might be incurred. There is a question that asks 'how much money do you have to stay in Canada'. Should she write 0 or write any amount? She won't be submitting my mom's statement of account as my sister would be submitting hers.

Any comments on this will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
