DId you tried sending an email to vfs?

pheemeehan:


I have follow your lines of discussion on this matter, I am also interested in knowing all possible way for the converting the TRV to work permit. As you requested, I have TRV and sharing your idea may be of great help. Am looking forward to your information. Thanks

jjohndoe83:
Please I have a question. There's a part of the documentation for Visitor's visa that asks the applicant to upload document about "purpose of visit", what should I upload here?

jjohndoe83:

For context, I am a PR and I want to apply for my sister-in-law to come and help us when we have our baby next year. My mother in law is late, so its my sister-in-law that can help. She's only coming for 1 month during her annual leave. She works with a government agency (Assistant Manager) with kids and family back home and landed assets.

I need advise on tips to make this a success. How much does she need to have in her account?

crazyinlove:


You can write that she's coming to spend her annual leave with your family. You can add that having a new baby in Canada is a new and difficult experience for you especially being far away from home and that having a support system during the period will really go a long way for you and your family. Don't forget to add your baby's birth certificate

They responded today finally. thank you it's VFS lagos

dapsalmy:
EVerything you said is right brother, except IT IS 10000% POSSIBLE to convert TRV to WORK PERMIT!!! Just as I never said it was easy, I said its not impossible. If you have trv, DM, I will advise you on how my friend did his, planned even before he arrived. All na to make sure preparations meets opportunity.

Hello everyone. Please for those who have had their parents come over to Canada in the last 2months, did you have to apply for authorization to travel for them?

pamelaa:
If you're a permanent resident or citizen, your parents do not need a letter of authorization. They need copies of your birth certificate, their birth certificates and your PR card to be presented at the airport and POE to prove they're your immediate family members.

Ogomike:
One week from the day we sent the email. Thank you for the link. But Parents are not extended family member. The are immediate family member

Hi Guys, I am a PR and just applied for TRV for my mom on the 11th, she got request for biometrics the next day and she has completed it but her profile hasn't been updated. Unfortunately I didnt follow the new guidelines (putting COVID-19 as reason for travel)for applying for immediate family members when I was applying for her, I have sent an email to that address on their website though but in the acknowledgement email sent to me I realized that email was actually for people who applied before Apr 9th. Please is any other person in this situation and is there anything to be done other than wait.
Thank you

1. Hello. Since vfs is only accepting passport submissions via courier what’s the process? Do you just go to dhl and courier to vfs? If yes, please what’s the address to be sure.

2. how long does it take them to return the passport?
3. How do you make the return courier payment?

Thanks

Happy new year everyone.

Please can someone tell me the order of processing for TRV. Does biometrics come first before eligibility review and background check?

Thank you

You don't have a PDF application on your PC?

Bukieinyang:
I do but it keeps saying Adobe Acrobat and all. I have tried another system.

Viking007:
Use another app apart from Adobe. I also had same issue.

Bukieinyang:
Like which app? Thank you?

Viking007:
Foxit. Or better still update your Adobe reader.
