My brother or sister , you need to understand the basics of whatever you’re investing your hard earned money in / on , if not you’ll keep getting scammed because the scammers know you don’t have an idea of what’s up. First of all just google Canada immigration pathways and also go on Canadavisa.com , go on the express entry thread to see what’s up. You’ll be surprised how much you’ll learn about immigrating to Canada via an extensive and simple google search .
All the best

My daughter invited me for visit, she's on study permit. Am I to write statement of purpose along with the documents to be submitted? She has written letter of invitation

If it's as a PR, then you might referring to the express entry route.

Thank you for the update o. In my case I’m applying for tourism as I didn’t qualify for family reunion, my relative there is my brother in law and not my direct relative, so I had to stick to tourism , but I observed by the questions asked, I was streamlined for can plus because the form was quite brief and only a copy of my usa visa was asked for. Asides my biometrics update, no other update has been done yet on my profile, fingers crossed.

How long now?

gracecheller:


How long now?

I submitted 21st of October , I got biometrics request on the 22nd of October , I had the biometrics done on the 25th October and apart from the biometrics being updated on my profile nothing else, no updates.

I applied on August 29th for my mum & dad, no response. Reapplied (reuniting with immediate family member) on Oct 19th via new portal, got a PPR request for them today.....6 business days

Hello, did you have to pay the application fees again in the new application which I assume you would. Secondly, did you get a refund for the previous application in August or do we write a mail requesting for refund.

Just to chip in to part of your question, I read on the website that you have to pay for the new application and the previous visa fees may not be refunded.

Ok thanks, just wanted to clarify as I've just spend $400 and hope we get the visa this year. Previous application is one year plus.

I am a PR and invited them..

Please, my brother who is a PR has invited me, but I don't know How to submit the Statutory declaration form"(IMM0006) .

Please Someone should help me out on How to submit the Statutory declaration form(IMM0006).

I am sure by now Canada has over 3million applications from Nigeria alone. Multiply this by 100 dollars. The Consulate is on a roll.

I've spent almost a thousand dollars. The first application was $300. Then I submitted a second application a month ago and spent $385 as one of my children reached age for Biometrics. Unfortunately, I used my previous account rather than the new web portal so I had to reapply again last week as soon as I realised my mistake (thanks to someone here on Nairaland) through the new portal and paid another $300. After all this stress, it's the approval that concerns me more. In fact, you reach a stage when you just want an outcome so you can move on and plan ahead.

I thought it will be easy as I already had soft copies of documents used a month ago only to discover the 2MB limit so I had to start working on the documents all over again (Except straightforward docs like NIN, International Passport and Passport photograph).

Apart from the initial updates, I got an update 2 days later in the portal which were application summary documents (PDF files). I also noticed that biometrics were updated for the applicants with biometrics when I checked the portal upon receipt of their email.

Is this normal? The waiting continues.

Passport photograph? That wasn’t part of the required documents when I was resubmitting. I thought it was weird but since it wasn’t requested, I didn’t bother. Do I send it via webform?

Also, that 2mb limit was so restrictive plus the portal kept rejecting documents merged or compressed with websites like ilovepdf. I spent almost 6 hours adjusting and putting the documents together before it finally uploaded.

Same here, did not see the option to submit a passport photograph. It was not part of my required documents to submit.

You are right, just crossed checked my document submission list. It was NIN that I uploaded and not Passport photograph.

Please share link to the new portal

site is under maintenance though

Please how did you go about your application. Personally or through an Agent? I would be glad if you provide me with assistance I want to apply for Visa also

mrprolifik:


I dont agree with you. This is because I applied for a Canadian trv this year and before my application I already had an Express entry profile and yet i was issued the Visa.

Yes, it's already stated you'll pay new application fees. Though refunds aren't guaranteed, I filled a webform to withdraw old application and requested for a refund. I also mentioned they've received PPR for new application and included payment reference number for old application

I didn't fill this for my parents....your brother is an immediate family member, not extended as indicated on the form. Except your application is somewhat for a different purpose

For a visitor's visa, just follow the steps in the new application for immediate family members, almost all forms required are manually filled unlike the old application where you had to attach completed forms. If required, you'll fill this along the line.

Thank you for your input, but according to IRCC my brother is an extended family member. So ,I see we have different application that's the reason you didn't fill form IMM 0006.

Guys, Please can i travel to Canada this month?

Please kindly advise.
Thanks

.
I applied for the visa online myself , no help from anybody. You can do it yourself it's not difficult all you need is just to have a good internet connection and a means of scanning some of the documents that might be required from you.

Yes as far as you are fully vaccinated you are good but you might also need a negative covid 19 molecular test( pcr) taken within 72hrs before your flight to Canada. Without the negative pcr test you will not be allowed to board the airplane to Canada. You can check by downloading the arrivecan app. It will guide you.
