If you refer back to the initial question, it was based on Visitor Visa (VV) to Permanent Residency (PR) that the gentleman mentioned. The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot are different from the psw work route which requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) like any other job you obtain inside Canada to apply for a closed work permit with your visitor visa. The two schemes mentioned are not connected with an LMIA and can be applied for from outside Canada because they require WES verification, IELTS scores, and a job offer and it a sure path to PR . People often mix them together and end up paying for a program that is not useful to their current situation . On November 6, 2023, there was an administrative update made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that removed National Occupation Classification (NOC) code 73300 for truck drivers from the list of occupations eligible for a certificate of qualification. As a result of this update, truck drivers are no longer eligible for the 50 additional points available to those with a certificate of qualification under the Express Entry PR CRS, so the truck driver route is no longer an easy access to PR and it is also based on LMIA. And as you can see, I said it's closed, but now it's under LMIA AND moreso the truck driver process is not as easy as people say it for a visitor to get the required licences and employment as a new driver in canada . I'm not an immigration consultant, but I pass by 129 Peter Street in Ontario, the Assessment & Referral Centre for asylum seekers, and I hear many stories of the huge amounts people paid just for a visitor visa that could have been used for another route, but they lack information and end up on the asylum route outside waiting for a bed in the over-capacity shelter.i can only hope that God brings healing and guidance to our community and please enough of the insult on the forum and let just share information and exchange ideas.thanks

House34:


Firstly, you cannot convert visit visa to permanent resident automaticaly but apply for work permit or step towards PR

1. Get LMIA job..possible but curent it just1% rate you will be succesful and becareful of scam and not all LMIA will lead to PR
2. Student route....you can apply student route outSIDE canada nd ur visit visa inside canada dont give any advantage in student visa you will still need same requirement like person applying outside canada and pay tuition
3. Truck driving route (shortage Occupation) this route is closed now under LMIA
4. Romance route..it marriage route which ircc closely monitor especially if u marry as visitor
5. Humanitarian/ refugee route that asylum it 50/50 depend on ur story but nt easy again with 99% of nigeria youth visitor to canada suddently become gay and lesbian
6. Personal support worker ( shortage Occupation) closed it now under LMIA

Wish u all the best

Hello my good people,

I have applied for Canada visitor visa to attend a conference in 2012 through an agent where he claimed that I was a doctor with a university degree but the visa was refused fast track to this day I have been to several Schengen countries up to 4x and established my own company in building construction.

Now I intend to apply to visit my niece with up to 11m naira as my balance.

My main concern now whether to put my true academic level which is o level and that will contradict my previous claim in 2012 or follow up on what was initially filled in the form in 2012 as there will be no need to prove it.


Please your idea will guide me in what to do guys

Thanks

Ndubestjude:
I used agent but he said there's no message yet but it have take long time, what should I do pls

showbaba19:
Slimmsyyerty pls I need to have a chat with you concerning my application, I submitted my visiting application on September 10, 2023 and I got a reply on March 7, that I have been refused, pls I need your kind advice and the necessary documents to provide because I want to reapply, thanks

slimmsyyetty:
I am sincerely sorry for my late response 🙏

Your POF is sufficient but unfortunately Canada government looks far beyond your account statement ALONE. It's not just funding your account with millions. There are so many things you need to do to show how legitimately you earn your income, aside other factors like family ties, among many others before you can be considered admissible. IRCC doesn't give a damn about our BILLIONS if we can't show them how we earn it, LEGITIMATELY

Firstly, how old is your CAC Certificate even though you might have been working for 10 years? Is it still active when IRCC carries out online search on your company. Do you file your annual returns because that is what would make it active? Aside these, you need to show them proof that your company is ACTIVE, RUNNING, FUNCTIONAL, and the CAC Certificate isn't just for demonstration purpose. How then can you show this? Through tax income clearance, business invoices (plus receipts) AND A GOOD CASH FLOW. Lump sum deposit with detailed explanation and evidences on how it was acquired is easily convinced to accept when you have a very good cash flow( credit and debit flows) steadily running on your account, already. But when you hardly run your account or you run it a lot with a few thousand or the narrative on the account statement for which the money was debited or deposited isn't business related that much on the overall POF - then lump sum may not EASILY WORK. This is where some people missed it...

Please, never blame yourself because you were unaware of so many things as regards to this. Now that you have a lot of information at your disposal, sail your ship again and REFIRE!!!

Make sure your CAC is active(i.e. if it is inactive). Get business invoices (customized with your company's name, logo and office address) and submit about 5-6 copies with different dates and months. Let the name, date and amount on the invoice tally with the date, name and amount that would be credited in your account. If you get a receipt of anything (that is business related), ensure the amount on the receipt correspond to the amount that would be debited from your account. So while writing your LOE under your employment status narrative, you make reference to them.
** make sure your tax income clearance is directly proportional to the income you claim your business generates *** You can't submit a tax clearance of 50k for an account that generated a lot of millions within six months alone.
**If you care, as a self employed applicant, you may attach a sworn affidavit of income declaration**
**In your LOE, write a detailed itinerary tour plan. Briefly explain your purpose of going and the benefits. Indicate the date you will arrive, where you would stay(name of hotel if you weren't invited) and where you would visit each day of your stay. In fact, indicate a day to shop for your wife, children and parents to gifts them this item when you return home. Indicate the day you would depart Canada.
**Book for a hotel but don't pay. Make sure the date from your arrival to departure on your application form and LOE correspond to your hotel booking. Be strategic and let your hotel be within where you would mostly tour. For instance, if you are touring Niagara, let your hotel be near Niagara. There are some hotels that would charge you $1 on your dollar card to keep your booking till you cancel despite indicating you are paying on your arrival. Never mind if a decision didn't arrive before your intended travel date. IRCC knows that one is beyond your control. The essence is just to show a correlation on your travel dates REPEATEDLY- in your application form, as explained in your LOE and the evidence on your hotel booking.

**For your landed doc, submit the deed of assignment that legalized your ownership and submit the current market value( current worth)**
**Do you have a valuable car(not 30 years old model)? If yes, submit your proof of car ownership.

**Family tie shouldn't be neglected, too.

I wish you success

Shalom

You've said it all with your old parents as an example .. It's crazy and let's all be realistic , the better we realize that as a Nigerian, we are on our own , no savior will come to our rescue ... Nigeria will be better, Nigeria will be better is all We've been hearing for decades ...

Eriokanmi:
I feel you jare Nigerian government isn't reliable and sadly, a lot of gullible Nigerian youths always fall for their lies and propaganda in every election and vote them into power. Things have never been this bad economically and I believe they'd learn in a hard way, why you must not apply sentiments or bigotry in the choice of a leader. I don't pity them at all when they're shouting ebi npawon. Ebi o tii de rara. Sorry if you don't understand the meaning

It doesn't happen in the advanced world where they always want to japa to and that's why they keep getting better . You must merit that position you're occupying before people would vote you, irrespective of your race , religion or ethnicity.

That said, na God's backing I receive oo. Who wan dash me silver spoon lol. To God be the glory.

Eriokanmi:
Your second to the last paragraph really got me emotional. All we need is good leadership and everything will fall in line. There's nothing wrong with us.

Early 80s. Before buhari/idiagbon took power, Nigeria was out of place though we had a decent economy. It was buhari/idiagbon who taught Nigerians how to queue in public places. Everyone would just want to get served simultaneously. Buhari's second coming had really exposed his weakness of the 80s. This made us know for a fact that it was actually idiagbon who was ruling Nigeria back then while buhari was just a figurehead. Many said this back then but their claims couldn't be substantiated. They were right.

Nigeria is a lovely country cos we had everything to earn us a decent life. I can say I've seen it all out there and I've weighed all the options. Here's 100% better, but with good leadership. Most of our problems are man made. Imagine Indians and Chinese thronging Nigeria while Nigerians are running away.

We serve the health and oil and gas sectors of our economy in my company and we get busy all year round. We attend trainings at least once with our partners in North America in a year and suffice it to say I travel to NA twice a year. There's a lab-based company in Canada begging to have a distributor in Nigeria and we're still talking. 2 Nigerians are working with them, one as a truck driver who graduated from UI and another a lab scientist. If I had my way and I agreed to partner, I'd pull the Nigerian truck driver back home to head my logistics unit. With a decent leader in place, he wouldn't be doing that type of job as an Msc Holder in Agric Econs in Canada.

Everyone can't be like me cos it was a tough decision I made after my studies to return home. Only 1 out of 100 Nigerians in Canada and USA would try that after seeing good houses, good roads, nice locations and daily meals and you are now asking them to come back home. It would sound weird to them. It was my plan to return home cos before I left Nigeria in 2004, I had seen opportunities staring me in the face. I only came back to tap it. Before I came back, Indians were dominant in the sector. Through the Nigeria local content, I was able to reduce them to size. Till today, our oil and gas clients pay in dollars. I always write lengthy words to encourage our people out there. Rome wasn't built in a day. Rome had her bad moments too before it became the Rome of their dreams. We knew how Canada was formed too. I don't even know the name of the majority of our leaders . I only hear of tinubu and his vice because I had no business with them. I don't know if they exist or not. The only thing that affects me is their policy, which also affects everyone.

My dear brothers and sisters, pls go to Canada or US, look beyond your nose and search for opportunities, bring it home cos market over there is saturated. No new thing under heaven anymore over there. Nigeria is a virile land for opportunities. In 2018, I was at NLNG in Bomny Island. There was this white whom they told me earned almost 10k usd monthly. He's a CCIE Engineer. He enjoyed free education for kids, free accommodation, free travel tickets to his country, free this and free that. I was like...whaaat! I told my cousin to go get the certificate. CCIE exam is lab-based . I loaned him the money to get it in Canada or US but there were some registration hitches cos they used to move the exams to different locations. I now asked him to write the exam in DXB. It was fairly cheaper there and the certificate he was holding had already qualified him to write the exam. He passed and I said omo, go search for the relevant position. The NLNG guy was still there but he got one in Canada. The salary was wild...almost 9k usd, as a single guy monthly but I told him to manage it. Anytime there's space here, he's coming back. As we speak, no CCIE engineer who is a Nigerian here yet. These are the opportunities youths who are japaing should see work and money go find you taya. Enough said

Hi, landed Toronto on Tuesday. No issues at all, except in lagos where the person that was supposed to print my boarding pass started asking unnecessary questions, say what’s the purpose of my visit , I told him I’m visiting my Aunty, he asked to see her PR card but I told her she’s a citizen, baba asked to see her passport. I had to call my aunt in the middle of the night to send her passport which she did, the man still complained that the passport has expired, that’s how my Aunty lost her cool, she went like “what the f is wrong with you people in Nigeria, does expiration of my passport take away my citizenship Bola bla bla “ , baba sha print my boarding pass and allow me go. Landed Addis Ababa and no question at all, landed Toronto, they just asked what I’m coming in with. Less than 2 minutes, I was cleared. Unfortunately I missed my flight to Calgary cos I couldn’t get my checked baggage, Air Canada rescheduled the flight for me , I waited 3 hours for the next flight . Toronto wasn’t cold as expected, I thought that’s how everywhere would be until I got to Calgary, the cold rushed me as I stepped out of the airport, I ran back in. Thanks to God and everyone here, safely home and adjusting. Best of luck to everyone expecting. And may God heal Nigeria, cos just few days here, I found out Nigeria is like 500 years behind.

Am self employed (am into real estate) and I have been working for 10years, I provide landed documents but I don't do valuation, I have cac but i donk have tax clearance, no invoice and receipt to back my pof (my statement of account is 19.8m) and the sop is very weak, I have apply before i come across this thrend, please i need who can help me with itinerary letter so that i dont fail this time around and any help you can render and supporting documents that I need to provide, i appreciate your concern and may almighty God help you

monopoly3072:
Hello guys, for POF, must the amount remain in the account for a period of 4-6 months as the case may be, before you submit the statement? Or you can just submit the statement that contains the said amount( lump sum addition excluded) regardless of how many months the money has been in the account.

orjohn24:


Good point you made but what she applied is visa to visit canada as a tourist and not for birthing purpose as at when she applied even if she add her children to the application then 28m is still about 24000kcad as at today oanda exchange rate which is more than enough for 4 people for a few days tourist visit to canada..l think best option is just to hope for the best and wait visa officer decision becos withdrawing that application now and starting afresh the child could have been born even before a decision is reached .

BossFingy:
I did my biometrics on Sept 28 but i realized today that my agent filled that i have never been denied a u.s visa not knowing i have been denied a u.s visa 6 years ago...please can i still rise a webform to notify them about it? Is it too late to do so now.. if really i can, can something lile this be okay? Dear Visa Officer,

I hope this letter finds you in good health,

I am writing to inform you about a mistake I made on my previous visa application for the United States. Several years ago, I omitted to mention that I had been denied a U.S. visa in the past some time around 2018

I realize now that this was a serious oversight on my part and I deeply regret not being forthcoming about this information. I understand the importance of being honest and transparent in the visa application process, and I want to assure you that I am committed to abiding by all immigration laws and regulations.

I sincerely apologize for this oversight and I assure you that it was not done with any intention to deceive. I hope that this mistake does not negatively impact my current application for a Canadian visa.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration

Madukachase:
Finally God did it.

Application was submitted on 3rd September 2023.

Superwoman1101:


Thank you, our proof of funds was 28 million Naira when we applied . Also my usa visa was denied on the ground that there is a US law that now prohibits pregnant women from going to give birth for the sole purpose of citizenship, I told d vo that there is an exception to the rule if I had a medical condition and I can afford it, she asked for the doctor's report and after going through it she said she wanted more like the doctor should have referred me to a doctor in the usa, told her I had a doctor in the usa who has ac epted me but not referred by my doctor in Nigeria, moreover our government also prohibits doctors to refer patients abroad, she explained the law further to my husband n I and why her hands were tied, she asked if I tried somewhere else, I said no because I had given birth to my 2 kids in the usa previously so it was natural for me to gravitate towards d usa, at some point she asked me again and I gave the same answer, thinking about it after I left, she might have been asking about my Canada application but at the time of the interview I wasn't thinking straight moreover at the time of my application my plans where solely to visit canada and not to go have a baby which wasn't declared in my application , maybe I should have said Canada I don't know

Chisomwo:


Congratulations 🎉 please when did u go for biometric

Xchimaaa:

Please when did you do your biometrics

Paulo01:

Anguldi:

Congratulations ma'am. I love your countless and additional documents through webform . Keep the fire burning🔥, Bless up 🙏

Thankful11011:


Yes I know, I'm more concerned if the usa vo's note of me going to have a baby will affect my canadian application

Superwoman1101:
Good day everyone, I submitted my Canada visit visa in October with my husband which I havnt gotten a response. I applied for a normal visit visa before I found out I was even pregnant and before then I had a USA visa interview appointment which I booked over a year ago even before I dreamt of getting pregnant. This week was the interview, obviously pregnant and I declared I wanted to have my baby in the USA which I was refused. My question is please will this in anyway affect the outcome of my Canadian application considering that they share information, that is if the Canadian go reads the note that I am pregnant, thank you as you reply

Eriokanmi:

mamawa123:
Before you book a flight, make sure you read and understand everything about the flight you are about to book.

In the case of connecting flights, make sure you have the necessary visa that will allow you to fly through the country or countries of your connections.

My friend's wife wasn't allowed to check in at Lagos airport this past Sunday because she has more than one flight connection in European countries. This was her flight itinerary: (from Lagos (LOS) to Paris (CDG) to Amsterdam (AMS) - Montreal (YUL).

She has to reschedule her flight to a later date because she needs a transit visa. This rescheduling is not free.

Beware.

slimmsyyetty:
Please, when having a stop over to any European country, don't let your stop be more than 1. If you are having more than 1 stop in any European country, then you may require a transit visa, except if this rule has changed

For instance, if you are taking air France, sometimes, they have 2 stops...Paris and Schipol(Amsterdam). For you to be eligible to fly on this ticket, you must have a transit visa because it has more than 1 European country stop over.

Stick to the airlines listed for you earlier but ensure your stop in ANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ISN'T MORE THAN ONE.

Try to avoid Ethiopian airline because I've heard series of cases where passengers (especially Nigerians) trying to board en route to Canada from Adisababa had issues because they were on visist visa. My friends and families have used Air France, Qatar, KLM and Lufthansa airlines perfectly well on visit visa without issues.

Again, just stick to one "stop over" flight if you are using any European airline (KLM, Air France and Lufthansa)

If you are using Qatar, avoid putting any liquid in your hand luggage, even to toothpaste because they might trash it in Doha before boarding to any of your destination. Put whatever liquid you have (no matter how small like your smallest finger) in your bigger bags(23kg luggage). Don't bring it on board with you.

MayorOfEdmonton:
You clearly missed the point😔😔.
I was in fact complimenting you for presenting your views politely without resorting to insults when I said “It’s good to see that one can still offer a differing viewpoint and argument on this thread without resorting to insults“. No vex I no too sabi English.

Lately folks on this thread tend to insult anyone that doesn’t share their view. So it’s good you shared your different view courteously, that’s why I kept replying you as you were never offensive in both your choice of words and tone.

There was no misconception from my end. Your points are valid, I never said you were wrong. We move!!!

MayorOfEdmonton:
I never thought this for one second!!!
I read your other comments on this particular case, I’m just offering a different objective perspective 😁. Perhaps influenced by my personal experience and approach to life.

It’s good to see that one can still offer a differing viewpoint and argument on this thread without resorting to insults.
Cheers🙌🏼🙌🏼

MayorOfEdmonton:
Whilst you made irrefutable points, would an application be rejected because pictures showing two siblings together were not uploaded? NO
Would seeing picture(s) influence a visa application approval, I strongly believe NO, however good it makes the applicant’s claim look. Visa Officers though human are guided by the regulations/requirements of the visa category and not sentiments.
One could add pictures of birthdays from year 1 to year 25 together(sentiment) and still be rejected if the visa officer believes there’s no financial/family reason for the applicant to return to their home country after the visit(visa regulation).

I’m a proponent of submitting documents that makes you feel confident in your visa application, so if pictures will make an applicant less anxious about what-ifs…shoulda…woulda…coulda…please add as many as you deem necessary.
I just dey reason am from another objective angle😁😁

dadasupremacy:
I also did my biometrics first week of July
Till now have not gotten a response
I also used an agent and he also told me in progress
Some people that I met during my biometric have also nothing getting response

biggybanking:
Thanks bro.
I did get a confirmation that it has been added.

Ajebogirl:



Thank you for responding. I have asked him to no avail, he thinks I will sabotage his payment or something. He promised to send a screenshot of how the process is going. Still nothing. I feel 8 months is quite a long time.

MayorOfEdmonton:
Pictures are surplus to requirement if we are being honest. It’s usually best to keep visa applications simple.
Birth certificates of both siblings suffices as it has the same father & mothers name (except for step siblings), that’s all the visa officer needs. Besides in your PR application few years ago, you listed him as your brother. They will likely visit your previous PR file to confirm name and DoB u inputed.

Remember to add yourself as authorized representative so you can call ircc on his behalf if the processing is taking longer than expected.

More importantly don’t forget to add your proof of status(PR Card/Canadian Passport as applicable). Some add a couple or so recent payslips in addition to bank statements as proof of financial support.
