Dfavouredone:

Inspiring experience. Please I have a four years visiting visa to Canada, but I just do not want to visit and return to naija. Though I know I can only stay up to a maximum of six months per trip in canada on a visiting visa.
So, I am cooking up a plan and need some advise and input about its feasibility from you and other guru in the house.
Here is the plan, I want to travel to Canada on my visiting visa and then apply within Canada to convert to study permit (I already have Canadian admission on post graduate diploma - project management). The duration of the project management course is one year, after which I can apply for a post study work permit.
My reason for wanting to apply for a study permit from within Canada is to reduce the finance I need to show for my upkeep as I am sponsoring myself and to hustle a little during the six months visit to raise more finance to support what I already have to show as evidence of financial capability when applying for the study permit visa from within Canada.
Thanks.

U can't change a visitor visa to study permit within canada
Does that can apply for study permit within canada are either already carrying a study permit made outside of canada or a foreign work permit holder whose application was previously made outside of canada.
Beware people visa to permit impossible
Permit to permit possible

My piece of advice, apply as u going to settle your daughter, cic know your daughter is going to school and when applying say u accompanying your daughter to school to help her settle down
Ma, get a letter from work saying u are accompanying your daughter to school and they are aware
Employment letter
Daughter study permit
When applying there is a question of are u accompanying someone who just recently got approved of visa your answer is yes
There is high chances of you getting a visa with your daughter study permit than a relative invitation
School start Jan 1st week so put like Jan 3 u will be surprised how fast you get the visa
Applied for sister accompanying mum for visiting to canada Nov 4 or 3 visa out Nov 23 note travel date was Dec 18.
Use online to could be quick at times
Parent doesn't usually have problem getting visa as along has kids are here or on their way

Mrsnja:
Hi nairalanders,
I have silently been following this thread and I need your help ASAP.
I plan to apply for a tourist visa to Canada this week. My daughter just got her study visa this week. The original plan was for me to accompany her to Canada but I didn't want to apply before she got her visa. Now I think it's too late for me to get a visa on time in order to be able to accompany her to school early January. The plan now is for her to go ahead of me if the visa is not ready by then which is very likely then I will go as soon I get a visa. My challenge now is how I will state my purpose of travel so as not to get a refusal. I intend to say i want to go and settle her in since i can't go with her immediately.
Meanwhile I have 2 relatives in Canada who are a citizen and a permanent resident respectively. I have a invitation letter from the one who is a Canadian citizen promising to take care of my feeding and accommodation while I'm in Canada.
As for my travel history, I've been to the U.S. three times and have a current 2 year visa, I've also been to the UK twice, India twice, Dubai severally, Senegal Ghana and some other African countries.
The only snag is right now I don't have a lot in my bank account.
So readers, what do you think I should do to better my chances?

Let see how I can help
