It was an online application.
Travelling for vacation, alongside my wife and kids but my Kids don't need a Visa to travel to Canada-so I did not apply for them,however filled their name as travelling with me.

Documents submitted :
-My Bank Statement
-Pension Plan Statement
-Payslips & Letter from Employer

The other forms you need to fill and upload already have your travel history captured.

Good morning All,

Thanks for all your advice and information regarding canadian TRV application.

I have a question. I applied for my TRV on the 10th May 2019 (I know its still early and not expecting any feedback till on or before June/July due to reports/feedback received on this group).

I was able to track my application online since i submitted and it said visa is being processed but since yesterday its been saying No record found, i Hope there is no issue with the application.

Do i need to be worried or just wait and keep checking?

Thanks

I have the same issue as I applied on 25th April and its indicating no record found since yesterday. But I have received the biometrics validity email from the high commission in Kenya. The conference I should attend will start on the first week of June. I just pray to get this as soon as possible.

Good Afternoon all,
Please I urgently need your advice to thrash something out.
An agent that handles my sister's canada visting visa application keeps saying decision has not been made on the application.She has done the biometrics @ Vfs Lagos since July,2018 and nothing was heard since then.

As a result, she could not apply for any other visa in other countries because this is still pending.

Has anyone encountered such prolong delay?

Is it that the agent is hiding any information from us?

What we need is to know whether the application has been rejected or still on.its getting to a year now!
Please any info will help to address our situation.

Thank you all
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jawa: 3:45pm On May 23, 2019
LOL. Do you know how hard it is to get an employer to sponsor you under whatever category? Think of it this way, if not maybe an act of sheer nepotism, what skill could one possibly have that’ll make an employer go through the stress and pay for it just to have you employed. There are thousands of highly skilled people without jobs in Canada. The jobs are not easy to get just like in Nigeria. Whenever someone wants to migrate, or even visit as in the scope of this thread, it is best to manage their expectations because I know people personally that have Canadian MSc but no reasonable job yet.
The easiest way to move to Canada and have free status is via express entry which I’d say is the easiest process out there just a tad long.
Again, the point of this comment is that the LMAI sponsorship is near impossible.
Thanks


compactimmi:




You've said the truth though, but you can actually convert a tourist visa into Temporary residence (work permit and study permit, but it pretty tough.

As long as you can find an employer to apply for LMIA, then you're good to go. You can apply for a "closed work permit", instead of open work permit. The person will be limited to a particular employer, since the employer is the one that got him/her the LMIA(Labour Market Impact Assessment). Like i said earlier, it pretty straight forward if you can find one, but you cannot work or school without a permit. Except on a short course of 6months of less.

Secondly, changing a tourist visa to study permit. The applicant must have a clear intention before proceeding to Canada on Tourist visa. If you've applied to study before securing the tourist visa. There is a regulation under the Canadian Immigration law "Dual Intent". The word explain itself explicitly. As long as you have mentioned it in your application or at the port of entry. You can apply for tourist visa from Nigeria, arriving at the port of entry for CBSA examination. YOU MUST MAKE THAT INTENT CLEAR THAT YOU'VE APPLIED FOR A PROGRAM OR YOU'LL APPLY FOR ONE DURING YOUR STAY IN CANADA. Make sure you have every necessary documents such as proof of funds, intent to leave at the end of your program. Everything here is based on case by case, but for study permit to be issued to a FN(foreign national), it must be submitted to any nearby Canadian visa offices for processing OUTSIDE OF CANADA. It's either a yes or no. It is very dangerous for anyone with SINGLE Entry Visa!!!. Imagine you're asked to attend an interview in the U.S and you only have one entry, that's a goner. If you're refused for the study permit, you have no fundamental reason to be allowed back into Canada. That's just the risk. If you can pay the $20,000 GIC and another one year tuition fees, provide enough proof and documents, you should be fine, but it's not guarantee.

You can study without a permit on tourist visa for a short program of six months or less. You won't be needing any permit to do this:

"Individuals do not require a study permit in order to pursue a program of study for six months or less. Courses may consist of any subject(s), and may be taken on a part- or full-time basis. In order to be deemed exempt from the requirement for a study permit, the course of study should be completed within the six month period. A visa extension will not be granted for the sole purpose of completing a short-term program.

Foreign nationals in Canada without a study permit who wish to enroll in an educational program must apply for a study permit from outside Canada. An exception may be made if the course is short-term in nature and can be completed within the original period of stay specified upon their entry to Canada.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada recommends that foreign nationals seek a study permit for a program of six months or less if they intend to work on campus or continue their studies in Canada after completion of the initial program"

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=484&top=15

it is advisable to always apply for one, but if your program is less than 6months; then you're fine. Should in case you decide to further your education after the six months program elapsed, then you must apply for one OUTSIDE of Canada. mostly, tourists are allowed to stay six months, even with multiple entry visas. Except otherwise by the P.O.E(Port of Entry) officers known as CBSA.

Again, I've only sited with a link that it's possible. Always try to apply for from your home country......................

I have never heard of visiting visa taking this long.
Was it paper application?

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jawa: 4:19pm On May 23, 2019
Business folks don’t have pension accounts but secure visas daily. For Canada, as we have discussed over and over on this thread, it’s primarily not about how much money you show.
Way back, my first Canadian visit visa was issued when I earned N80k monthly. But my job was inline with my academic qualifications which creates the impression the applicant is ‘building’ his career. Several work sponsored trainings home and abroad was evident in the application. I didn’t have money to pay but my mother wrote me a sponsorship letter and transferred the mentioned sponsorship amount to my account and I provided proof of her income, transfer docs and everything necessary documentation.
Ties assessment, as VOs say it, is a holistic approach. Age(yes there are high risk migration age 22-29), income, qualifications, employer, wife/husband/children and if you’re traveling with them, travel history and so many others are considered. You have to measure up in more areas than you lack. You could have traveled the whole world and be refused a Canadian visa because if you check migration trends, even Brits are some of the most that migrate to Canada but barely any Canadian move to Europe or elsewhere.
Again, for Canada, US, Australia and new Zealand, it’s not primarily about money. If you want a money conscious country, the UK are willing to give you whatever you want so far you don’t do money lodgement.




tessytessy:
OP,

This people have seen it all.

People have packaged their application for like 6 months claiming salaries of up to that amount and yet disappear after being issued the visa. A big issue would be the reputation of the place where the applicant claims he works.

Having that huge amount in cash and not in a pension plan presupposes that he has enough money to settle should he decide not to come back to Nigeria.
