People can work with a visitor's visa to canada

To clarify, you CANNOT work with a visitor's visa. however, you can change your status by securing a work permit by scouting for an employer with a job role to fill up; to help you with the application when you are "already" in Canada. and this my friend is not an easy route, but its not impossible.
I'll advise you to read up on securing a work permit and its requirements. you will be more guided.

Cheers

Dey play

this is funny, lol

So do you always send a mail to the MP anytime you need an update on your application ?

ikemummy:
Eligibility review has not started on the GC Key. But the update I got from MP says eligibility review started since December.

i appreciate, thanks

ikemummy:
I have replied you via email

hello @ikemummy,
I just saw your post and wanted to also know how you got your detailed explanation for refusal was it through GCMS? i have been waiting for my family's GCMS notes for over 2 months now.
can you explain how you contacted the "MP" and what was the process. I will appreciate your soonest response. Thanks.

[quote author=ikemummy post=110169868]Sorry to hear about this. Did you apply using the new portal? How many weeks/months were you in Canada before you applied?

I will share my experience with you and hope it helps you. I had a similar experience. My spouse and infant daughter were refused the same day biometrics was done, we applied using GCKEY. As if IRCC refused the application upon submission and just waiting for the biometrics to be done before they post the rejection email. The reason for refusal was the same with yours except that ours dint include travel history.
Some persons said I got quick refusal because I applied within 5 weeks of landing in Canada, that I should have allowed more time.

I contacted the MP to find out more details from IRCC why my application was refused. One week after, I got a detailed response from them which I addressed in the next application.

Times are really challlenging right now. this furthers sets the whole process back!! hope and pray!!

2 ways that come to mind that could answer or match the statement " you already told us that you qualify for a COVID-19 exemption"
a. during your visitor visa application, you must have indicated "other-COVID-19" under your purpose of travel
b. you must have also informed IRCC through the "webform link/ email" informing them of how you qualify for the non-discretionary travel criteria.

Others can also chip in. check through previously attached link for more detailed info.

p.S your surest bet on any info put out here is to match it with info you find on IRCC website.

Hello TBDL,
Please can you explain in detail what you mean by qualifying for a COVID-19 exemption? I did my biometrics since March 5 and now this. Kindly explain in detail

Congrats!

[quote author=themaestro212 post=65904882]Hi guys. Here’s my Landing Experience


I got a Fido SIM card at the Square One Mall in Mississauga. I have to say at this point that Canadian mobile phone service is quite expensive. My package was CAD55 monthly for unlimited Canada wide calls and texts and 2GB data.

I bought a few winter clothes to add to the ones I had bought in Nigeria. Jackets were averagely CAD35 but depends on the store you’re buying from. I also went to Burger King to eat while waiting for 3pm. I got an Uber from there to my Airbnb in Brampton for about CAD19.


---------------------------
Welcome to Canada @themaestro212.
I'm quite curious though, what store did you get jackets averaging $35? Cos the last I got a jacket at $105(sales price oh) at sportchek.
Althoug Im in calgary, I would love to know the name of the store.

thanks guys. Appreciate it.

primeson1:


Why not stay in an Airbnb apartment, it would save cost.

Hello people,,
Congrats to every that has concluded their landing formalities.
Quick one please: Can anyone recommend a good hotel in Calgary to spend 2/3nights that can offer free airport pickup too.
At least to help me with accommodation troubles before I conclude with any rental property.
Kindly advise.

cc. V-cole (queen of Calgary) and any other person familiar with Calgary and its environs.

Many thanks...

I'll definitely love to hook up with you when i finally make my landing.
This is Os. k from FRSC letter mails .

Congrats. 55 days in NA2...wow. Where is your VO? And was your file in CIO for long?

You can say that again!
I was told Ottawa when I tried to find out,
I don't know about it being in cio for long.. just Tried to get busy with to take my mind of the tension.

MRSDA:
Congratulations @TBDL

Looks like it takes about a month to get the medical passed status?

Does this have anything to do with how much time one has between doing medicals and AOR?

One can't really tell honestly;
CIC's file treatment has a high degree of subjectivity!

Just make sure your close the gaps from your end and just leave the rest to God
