Nbv1:


When you come online to tell people the real truth, most won’t believe and they see it as discouragement which is why those who really live in canada don’t advice people that much, read above someone already telling me why I haven’t come home. I am blessed already before coming here but the reality is naira is different from dollars. I have business making 8million plus yearly in Nigeria also real estate. The truth is since I came here, it’s difficult to save same 8million plus per year due to huge bills in canada and that’s the truth. Also I have to work very hard over 40 hours a week . I don’t work for no one in nigeria , here is different. What if I was desperate like others and sold all my houses and shut down my business just to move here and then face reality.

If you are doing okay back home and making millions and think you can double more on the long run , then canada is not for you. If you know you have nothing much going for you in nigeria and you are just starting life then you can come and see things first, if you can cope then you stay in canada and start afresh. Agent will leave you stranded, don’t rely on them. Most of them operate using word of mouth. Do not sell anything to come here, I repeat, do not sell any valuable things to come here.

If you can setup a business here in canada it’s good because most people who make it real good here don’t work for anyone , they do their own business or run services.

For those coming here with a visit visa, it’s going to be real tough for you and that’s the truth unless you come in with huge money to either convert to LMIa or study visa which is very expensive. LMIa can cost you between 18k cad to 27k cad . So you need to plan very well before coming here and make sure you have accommodation plans. Winter is coming and it will be very cold, you won’t be able to go outside frequently during winter.

My bills a month is over 1800 dollars despite how I manage my funds. Rent alone take up huge bills here, when you deduct bills from monthly pay after tax, how much is left. That’s why it’s difficult to save money here. Before you make that move you must have a plan and most importantly funds.

Can I dm you please ?

Can I ask a question? Let’s assume I found a company that will help me change my visa to working visa, will I be the one to also pay for it ?
Wanna know all these because I don’t have enough at hand

If it's LMIA job,then u don't need to pay. Just that some agents collect so much from people to link them to job wt LMIA.

Okay thanks so much
I have another question please, which of the province will you advise a newbie to land I mean province that’s little bit cheaper and also good in terms of job market

what's the new site for filling TRV application?

@Viking07 I don't usually comment on issues like this, but I also feel compassion for residents and Canadians who are struggling during these difficult times due to high prices and homelessness. The food bank relies on donations from individuals, not the government, and it is currently receiving fewer donations compared to previous times. It would be inappropriate and morally wrong for a visitor to take resources away from those in genuine need, especially when they have the means to afford it themselves. Let's all be considerate of others. If you are visiting, please come well-prepared and mindful of the situation. The food bank is not intended for free food for anyone, as some might assume, nor is it a way to save money. Engaging in such behavior indirectly harms the less fortunate – the vulnerable, the elderly, and even Canadian children whose parents may be struggling financially. While I anticipate potential criticism, we should strive for a profound sense of empathy and avoid selfish actions.

Question please

Good house

Maybe I have #10m as proof of fund for summited application and after next 2days I remove the money to #3m, what is my chances?

And how possible for vv to apply for US Visa from Canada?

It depends on the type of labour market you belong to also how you are financially buoyant to survive in Canada but try Alberta.

Please I have a question on behalf of a friend who went to Canda on a visitor's visa. Whilst his visitor's visa application was still in progress, he applied for a study permit because he said the vv was taking too much time and study permit might come out faster. However, his vv came out first and he decided to travel to Canada. Just last Friday, he got a passport request for his study permit, yet he is already in Canada. What should he do? Does he need to travel back home to submit his passport?

Your program start in January and you are going on Nov?

If he’s already in let him continue the process right there than coming back to submit it
I don’t know much thou but he should seek advice from people around
I mean experienced guys

The truth is that this visa came out by a sudden, I didn’t know they will later approve this visa, could you believe I applied for this visa in 2021 that’s when I went for biometrics
It came out by sudden so no much cash on me
I know that it’s damn cost in Toronto but I think it will be little bit cheaper in Alberta
Talking about labour market, any means of survival at the main time
The only work I know is hydro blasting then little business we manage for survival here in Naija( you know how the hustle is nah)

Samplay1:


My guy no vex abeg, I said I should help my people complaining there is no LMIA job, i want let them know that being in canada does not mean you are well informed.
If you fail to plan before leaving for canada, den you plan to fail.
Only those with the shortage skill occupation stand a chance of getting LMIA jobs
Truck driving in provinces
Farm labourers in Provinces

All dose I know got LMIA
5 weeks training in truck driving in Nigeria
2 months internship in truck driving in Nigeria with recommendation letter from driving school and internship job

They entered canada Nad went to Brampton, applied for CDL liecense and passed the test and got the liecense
The one dat did not pass went through the 1 month training in canada, a bit expensive and then passed the test.

The training school referred them to companies and they got LMIA jobs
Flagpole and got work permit

The good thing is that you can apply from PR after 2 years driving truck as a shortage skill occupation

And you do not need experience to be a truck driver in canada with the Canadian liecense, except you are Appling through express entry.

So for those shouting no LMIA, think about shortage skills and get trained.

Job full ground with LMIA, na u dey find soft work 😆

Bros thanks for the update, buy here is another point you miss. I am currently on Visitor's Visa in Canada, I inquired to apply to Truck driving schools , they both told me that I must have my "G" License first before I can apply to Truck driving school, even with their $13k CAD school fees ooo.

I told them I have over 10years experience in Driving, and just want to enter the Truck driving industry. They no reply me.

Now to get a "G" License, you need to get a G2 first ,( exempt or do exam to get G1 , that one na for entry level. ) then drive in Canada for 1year to get your "G" , before you enter Trucks.
Also na Indians full this truck driving work ooo ...on the road I de watch every truck that passes me to see who be the driver.. Honestly, na 99% Indians de drive them .

So saying just come to Canada on Visitors Visa and enter truck driving na Lie.!!!!! I am here now August 13, 2023.

I have gained valuable information on this forum so I am helping someone with current information at my disposal..thanks

Happy new week families, guru in the house,
please, anyone should put more light, if I want apply for vv, how much is total expenses including Visa fee,

Good u don see it urself..many of them come online turn quack expert sharing fake testimony of an unknow fake friend that arrive camada and just wemt to brampton and got truck license amd got lmia ...all lies...many of this guys no come online again becos some are agent to promote their business and others are just over zealous fellow sharing misleading informatiom and some of them dey refugee camp now .
Actually you can go straight to full G drive test after ur written test WITHOUT waiting one year only if you bring a letter from frsc nigeria that u havemore than 2,years experience you can go directly for Full G test but as per truck ..u need get the license and start from within city driving but just learning truck driving 2 month cannot get u lmia..it a risky job in canada and companies want a person with good experience in canada and it true the indians dominate the truck sector in canada..truck driving is a good profession but takes time to get into the main line not the way thoes quack saying it becos our people like fake juicy story, go and check the guy story and see many likes..so sad!!

Hello,

Please I need your advise on my pof for visitor visa on the new ircc portal. I have the following options but need to know which is best for my application;

I have my gtb salary account acct that I have been using for years with closing balance of about 1.6m with lots of inflows and outflows.

I have a zenith bank salary account just opened for all staff by my employer 2 months ago. And what I have been doing is to transfer my salary paid into it to my gtb account above once paid.

I also have a mutual fund investment account with Stanbic but have moved all the funds from it to my gtb acct as the interests isn't so encouraging like many years back.

I have the opportunity of getting some funds about #5m from my friend Inviting me to Canada and I'm confused on which of these accounts to recieve the money into and use as my pof. She is a PR with a full time job over there.

I am aware they require at least 6 months bank statements and don't want to be rejected due to lump sum paid recently into my account.

In my own opinion I suggest you might need to settle for jobs that doesn't require LMIA to get work permit even though those jobs are not what you want . There is Agri-food pilot program and also Home support worker , I think those doesn't require LMIA . Also RNIP is there to meet with the employers in the selected communities . I stand to be corrected .

MrALIVE:

I am also experiencing same, mine is in the 4th week now. The last email i got 10 days ago stated that the passport has left ircc to abuja vfs and on its way to lagos.. since then no collection email

You need LMIA to do flagpole & get work permit on your VV without wish your status remains. So LMIA for VV is mandatory

jesufifunmi:

In the area of documents for the new portal, is it OK to attach documents that doesn't relate to the section you are attaching it to as a way to attach more documents?

My documents are enormous and I have used compressed them to the lowest point, but they are still more than 2mb. I see a part where they asked for employment letter, can I attach some of my documents there?

Congrats on your approval,

Please do you mind sharing how you were about to package the documents considering the 2mb file size limit on the new ircc portal? my statement of account for 6 months is already 27 pages long and I still have other documents to include as financial documents.

They require at least 4 months .( I saw that when I wanted to apply last week ).
I would suggest you use your new salary account so that it shows you have a current job and a regular incomes comes into it.
Move all your funds into the salary acct and begin to count afresh for 4 months to avoid any lump sump .
However if you feel you can't wait, you must have a justifiable reasons for the lump sum and explain in your LOE.

Their is no need to rush the application.
Your zenith bank is your genuine salary account, that's the only account I can advice you to use, you can just back it up with your gtb which is your savings account not salary account anymore.
Your friend sending 5m into your account is a red flag 'money lodgement'... So be careful.
Or can you prove it as a gift?

I will advice you to wait till you have a clean 6 months salary account then you can apply for the visa, you will also submit your gtb savings account as backup.

That's just my own personal advice, wait for other people suggestions.
Wish you all the best.
