[quote author=Toritse321 post=121555898]Hello all, I have learned a lot Please help with the following
1. Were you given single or multiple entries?
2. What duration were you given?
3. If your visit visa expires, do you need a new invite to extend/apply for a new one?
4. Has anyone converted to a work visa while on a visit visa in Cana

1. Applied for my mom. Chose multiple entry. Submitted Jan 7th, PPR Feb 14th. A month plus
2. 10 years
3. Didn’t use invite so I’m not sure what that means, simply applied for a visitors visa. My sibling and I are PR’s and we just filled in the required information and that was it. Just said she was going on holiday and attached leave approval from work signed by her boss.

thanks for ur response............so after 6months , do i need to apply for another visitors visa if i need to travel back to canada after say about 3months stay in Nigeria.


pls forgive my ignorance, ive never travelled to any country outside Nigeria....

No you don’t depending on what you were given. If you apply for multiple it varies from 2 years to 10 years (depending on what they give you). You can visit the country for 6 months at a time or less but never above 6 months. So you can exit and visit again and again till the validity period expires. When it expires then you re-apply for a new visa.

This helps create an invitation code that you’ll need to sign up for an account.

Thank you for quick response. I have other questions, we are a family of 4.
1. Can i use the new IRCC portal or the GCkey to apply.
2. On the IRCC portal to apply for visit visa the first option is ' Reunite with a family member' but we dont have anyone just for tourist. Which is the best option to choose from.
3. Since we are going for just tourist is it advisable we pay for hotel reservation and attach the receipt.
4. How much should be our POF for a family of 4 .
5.What are our chances since we dont have an invitation letter. Reponse will be appreciated.

Hello Guru’s.

oh....great, so if i get a multiple entry visa for 5yrs........all i need is to buy flight tickets whenever i want to travel.


thank you so much.

one more thing pls..........do u specify the duration (2,5 or10yrs) u want during your application. or they just decide what they want to give you.

People of God my friend needs help.
She’s to go for biometrics and one of the requirements on the biometrics letter is to come with her travel insurance. Do you get a travel insurance without visa? Please advice she’s confused. She got a job in Canada.

Hello everyone,
I have a bit of a dilemma and i would like anyone who has been in this situation or knows anyone to please help out. I graduated back in June 2022 and applied for my Post Graduate Work Permit in July 2022 while i was in Canada. In September 2022 i had to come back to Nigeria due to a family emergency. While i was away, my work permit was approved. Now i am ready to go back but i dont have a valid visa. What can i do in this situation? Thank you.

Hello everyone
I want to apply for the visitor's visa
I want to reunite with a long time friend.
She is willing to support everything about the trip. Tickets, accomodation, upkeep etc.

Pls what supporting documents should I submit?

For home ties, I have my husband and kids back home
I have a job( not paying much. Less than 100k)
I have a business too and in flow ranges from 200k-500k monthly)

Are these ties good enough?
Is there any supporting documents I should add to these as well?

Visiting a friend, does it hold water? Since it's not a family member?

Pls help, I need answers
Thanks in advance
you do not have good home ties. Your friend sponsoring the trip is also a red flag. You can try your luck regardless

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by YoungMetrosG(f): 7:34pm On Mar 12, 2023
Please how long does it take to get your passport back from Abuja? I submitted my passport for visa stamping on Thursday, 2/3/23. Since Wednesday, 8/3/23 status when I track it is showing “your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada visa office to the Canada visa application centre…”.

In your experience, when do you think I’ll be able to get my passport back? I went to VFS on Friday but they didn’t have it. My main problem is my US IW appointment was brought forward and now I may miss that appointment.

Does anyone know how long it takes typically to get visa stamped and returned?

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Ashirioluwa: 7:59am On Mar 13, 2023
In 2021, I helped my wife apply for a visitor visa. Below is the message I saw when I checked her visa application portal this morning.

"We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements."

Does this mean they have started looking at her application?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by josephb(m): 8:03am On Mar 13, 2023
Yes, that is what it means.

I think the applications (Backlogs) are processed in bulk, there was a memo to that effect in January, 2023.

I am just puzzled how these will be done (processing in bulk)
