A friend came to me yesterday, he wanted to sell his house to relocate to Canada. He is 42+ yrs. He is assured of a tourist visa that will cost him 1.8m excluding ticket.

He wants to know if it is worth it considering his age. Also he is afraid that if he sells his house in Ilorin (a new site) and the things go south what will happen.

Another thing he is assured is that his visa can be extended before expiration. He wants to know whether he can truly work with a tourist visa of 5 yrs and whether his visa can be extended.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks.

he is assured visa Because the agent owns the embassy abi. Scam scam scam

His house is a new site in Ilorin.

Do your friend a favour by posting the house photos for potential buyer.

Someone cannot play with you again?

Tunde answer his question and leave the issue of securing visa to him; can he secure a job in Canada with a tourist visa?

unless he has one scarce skill employers are unable to find in Canada. The government requires that employers consider those in Canada first ( citizens, permanent residents, students etc) before considering outsiders. Possible but very unlikely. Less than a 2% chance. There are many Nigerians in Canada right now that are stranded on visiting visa and have been unable to get jobs. Some agents here are charging 20k dols to arrange jobs ( which is illegal) .Some are going back home while others are looking for asylum or marriage

Let me give you a simple advice...
Right now 🇨🇦 is doing well by giving couple of people visit visa dis days... nobody knows why dey open dia border... anyway with a visit or tourist visa... You friends chances of getting a work authorization is like 3% out of 100... with is his current age.. the percentage is even low...

-He won't be able to do any work
-To even sweep ground for a resturant or wash plates... he will surely need a work card
- tell him to come with enough money so he won't get frustrated
- nobody will house him for long in canada unless his close family member are dere... so he should think abt that
- some other options to stay legal is to get married...
Finding a wife with ur Immigration status is like Finding a gold... who won marry visitor? He may be lucky sha
- aslyum is another option... tho wen the results comes out and he fail... na immediate removal straight .. if he succeed.. his consider a lucky man.. tho it's takes d grace of God because we ain't war tour country to consider for refugee...

Final advice.. let him use his house to borrow some money... den he ca travel for 3months and see how it is over dere... just selling of ur properties to migrate to Canada on visit visa no just make sense

Now you have answered his question holistically and I am sure this would help him in his decision making. Well done

he is dealing with scammers. If he sells his house he may not get the visa . No one can guarantee anyone Canada visa

I once knew someone that guarantees Canada visa 100% and at least 3 persons I knew got the visa, but that was before covid-19, around 2018 or thereabout.


Every country have loopholes.


Even US used to have loopholes in their visa issuance, I don't want to say further cos its an open forum, anybody can stumble on whatever info we release here.


You have done justice to the part of the question he needed answer based on your real life Canadian experience and that to me is amazing

Is marriage arrangement relatively easy?

No. Not on tourist visa.

If you want to Japa make sure your Visa gives you work authorization, except you're going for studies.
E get why.

On a tourist visa? Hard no.
On second thought, he can risk it if he is a software developer or programmer.

I heard they give work permit to a tourist on a 5 yr visa. I also heard that if your passport is 10 yrs, you can be lucky to get an 8 yr tourist visa. E get how Dem dey do am. But, you must walk into immigration office to seek for work permit on arrival.

Your friend is about to be scammed by one of those so called visa agents

Pls how can I convert visit Visa to working Visa if I decided to be doing my own business, decided not to apply for any job! Guru in d house,ur advise is needed pls...

Your friend's thought is ridiculous.
I pray he doesn't lose in two ways

Please, I got my visit visa to Canada a week ago. This visa had been applied for since the Feb 28th, 2020 on conference but the visa did not come out until June 2023.

Now, I am planning to visit my friend in Canada on vacation but when I was filling out my form in the year 2020, I told them that I don't have anyone in Canada which was true, my friend went to Canada in November 2020

This is my question. Hope this will not hinder my entry into Canada. Because I think since 2020 my status might have changed.

Please I need your professional advice. To be honest and before God and man, I am not going to stay in Canada, I will never ...

Please, sir. Let me hear from you, sir

I mean the visit visa was based on conference

If he can get Canada visa, then he could get usa visa too( or maybe after), he will get job under the table in most usa cities. Austin tx,top most.
But, I do not encourage his move.
