Hi I am trying to apply for a visitor visa for my mum does anyone know how I can go about it

Lekiboboe:

Hi,

Check the Website of the college offering the PG.CERT program you wanna go for, you would see their Admission requirements there and how to apply. If you are still having challenges in applying, send a mail to the international department or admission office of that college, they would respond to your enquiries.

By the way,

Go through the contents in the link below to see:
Potential Documents needed to apply for admission in a College for PG. Cert (Most especially at Ontario Colleges)
https://www.nairaland.com/6567181/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/221#103080983

Things you should take note of

Make sure the PG.CERT program you want to apply is related to what you studied in your school (If you are a fresh graduate or graduated two to three years ago) or your Work experience

Very Importantly!!! Make sure the college you gonna be applying for the PG.CERT program to is a DLI (Designated Learning Institute) and offers PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit). Don't make a mistake of applying to anyhow school(that is not a DLI and does not offer PGWP) even if they have a program of your choice.

That's where I might have made a mistake myself. Someone replied to my recent inquiry to say the purpose should be "Others" and then you type in "Covid-19" in the text box.

I had already submitted my application before receiving feedback to this same question. However, I am keeping my fingers crossed as I have not been able to find where they expressly stated on their website that it is the procedure.

I just made sure to include the previous application details (Applicants Name, UCI, Application Number and Application Date) in the cover letter or letter of explanation.

You will find the answer I received for same inquiry as yours within 3 pages behind on this thread.

UPDATE:
Ive finally gotten my email to transmit my passport to the VFS. However I must state that I reapplied after the September 7th update. So new timeline:

Fresh application: September 8th, 2021
Response: September 24th, 2021
Timeline: 13 working days.
Might actually be helpful to resubmit your application based on their update. For ease these are the documents I submitted with online my application(I submitted the additional documents via the webform):
1. Application for authorization & statutory declaration for extended family members
2. Biodata page and drivers license of my brother
3. Letter of invitation from my brother
4. Proof of relationship between my brother end I (birth certificates in this case)
5. Proof of change of name (I’m married so I needed to have documents bearing my maiden name)
6. Detailed quarantine plan
7. Biodata page and birth certificate of my daughter, she’s Canadian.

galala123:
I think students are allowed to have their immediate families unite with them per the second option in the final group of listings (i.e to be reunited with an immediate family member who is in Canada temporarily ).

"you’re travelling for one of the following reasons:
to be reunited with an immediate family member who is a Canadian citizen, a person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or a permanent resident of Canada
to be reunited with an immediate family member who is in Canada temporarily
to be reunited with an extended family member who is a Canadian citizen, a person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or a permanent resident of Canada."

Thanks for your quick response. I've been procrastinating. I sent a web form to UK office even though I don't even know where their applications are being processed. It seems the whole thing is haphazard because the second condition was if your situation has changed. A computer will throw your new application out if it hasn't changed but I guess they're all human

Congratulations and wish you a safe trip. Eventually it may not be of any harm to reapply again even if it is to encourage the to look at the old application.

Let me see if I get any response per the webform. I hope the UK office will forward it to the actual processing office. I may have to make time to call their office here tough I hear you may spend hours waiting on the phone.

I appreciate your timely response.

galala123:
I am confused myself as suggested by my last post. I think she qualifies as immediate family member. I do not know if they still require authorization to travel since they have opened up the border to visitors who don't even have family in Canada. I may be wrong but I have the impression that's what the whole September 7th further lifting of restrictions at the borders was all about (with individual quarantine requirements subject to vaccination status).

Frankly, I don't know if visitors still need authorization from IRCC officers after September 7 to enter. People who entered recently may be in better position to guide us.

I think you can send an inquiry via tweeter.

galala123:
Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, I already submitted. I changed it to family visit as tourism that was selected in the previous application.

I don't know whether to reapply or send a webform. However, I didn't see anywhere in the guidance notes where they specifically mentioned that we should write covid-19 although it feels like déjà vu. The only thing I saw was to make sure to include previous application details which were all stated in the submission letter.

Can you please help pin point where where it was mentioned on CIC website if any? This will help me decide my next line of action.

I have not sent the webform. I don't even know whether to request for authorization as the impression I have is that the request is implied upon re-applying. In fact, discretionary travel is now allowed and as such, what is the need for the letter of authorization? It appears to be at best, a key to signify the travel is non-discretionary (i.e. distinguish non-discretionary travelers from others). Now everyone with visa seems to be able to travel although there always seem to be a disconnect as the airlines may still be asking for the letter. I may send a webform after waiting a while with no movement or updates.

Lastly, now that visitors are allowed to enter, is the letter of authorization still required? I thought the essence of the September 7 further opening was to allow visitors as usual with quarantine requirements subject to covid-19 immunization status.

Please seeking your opinion on the issues observed. The more I read, the more confused I become.

Below from their website:

"Travel restriction exemptions for those departing from the U.S. or countries other than the U.S.
Fully vaccinated foreign nationals
Foreign nationals do not need to be travelling for a non-discretionary purpose if they have proof that they are fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated travellers do not need written authorization from IRCC. Foreign nationals who are not fully vaccinated still need to be travelling for a non-discretionary purpose or meet an exemption."

Meanwhile I read so many conflicting messages (One line, they say you need don't need travel authorization and then the next line they say you do!) from IRCC here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/coronavirus/travel-restrictions.html.

See from same page below (September 9 Release):

Recommended documentation for travel
Documentation showing their immediate family member’s temporary resident status and their relationship to that family member, and written authorization from IRCC:

Copy of the immediate family member’s work permit, study permit, temporary resident permit, or visitor record (please note that a visitor record may not be suitable to meet an exemption in all circumstances)
Documentation showing the foreign national’s relationship to the family member in Canada
Written authorization from an IRCC officer.

Let me rest my head. The IRCC staff may become confused with all these rules as I am which may lead to subjectivity and varied interpretation as they have to push files off their desk.

Anyway, I've submitted again and the bullet has left the gun barrel again!

Thanks a lot.

Rootiab:
if it's for the 3 days. No you can't.
For the remaining 11 days yes if its not shared, is it a shared space?. If yes, do u have your own room and you don't have contact with old people

Teeeee89:
Hi is it possible to quarantine in your apartment as long as it has en-suite bathroom and Anyone traveling first week of May

RELAN2446:

Congratulations, but why did they deny ur study permit extension? Is it common denying study permit extension?

Rootiab:
From my understanding. Your status would would change to Application/profile update. That means someone is working on your application at the back end.

Jayrealest:
Gurus in the house please I need clarification on an issue,

I intend to go for NSE stream but my IELTS result LRWS is 6,5.5,7.5,7. Will my score in reading deter me from being considered for the NSE stream? Or is there anything I can do or I will have to rewrite?

OvaSabi1:


I'm sure they exist but I have never seen anyone get a job offer from naija. Please be careful with scammers but you can give it a try with one of the agents. Other ways of increasing your point: MSc, PhD, French Language Proficiency Tests, sibling in Canada, nomination from a province.

What God cant do doesn't exist..

1st application August 4th refused October 2nd

2nd application I did myself with Gods help on October 8th and approved today January 8th..

Thank you Jesus...I was so worried and God did it...

Submitted EOR form on 4th November.
Checked my online portal every other day and on 21st November, Writing score increased from 6.5 to 7.
No email from BC yet so on 24th of November, I emailed BC telling them that I checked online and my score increased.
Later in the evening, BC sent a separate email saying feedback for my EOR application has been communicated by the UK team and attached the EOR results.

Sent back the old TRF and received new one 3 days later

In my mind I’m like, so if I didn’t check online that’s how BC would have delayed me.

phabulous88:
Guys, the EOR on my IELTS Writing came out successful. Just checked online now and it increased from 6.5 to 7.

If you’re not happy with your IELTS results and you’re super sure that you deserve a highest score in Writing or Speaking, please go ahead and apply for an EOR.

Hello Seyiki,

Don't defer yet. If I was in your shoe, I would have sent IRCC a webform or email notifying them of having no interest in NSE and advise them to proceed traditionally. You'd be surprise how your words could move a mountain. Even if it does work, at least you made at attempt and if it works, you may become the first Nigerian applicant to take the glory. In all, there is no harm trying.

All the best

OtunbaTee:
