You can arrive at anytime in as much as the visa is valid. Mind you, if it is a tourist visa, you need to make some adjustments to travel plans vis a vis hotel booking, places of tourist attractions etc
Please if I may ask, is covid vaccination compulsory for Canada visitors visa?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Fyfygal: 10:50pm On Mar 09, 2022

Hello Everyone,
i submitted a Visiting Visa Application (Tourist), Hotel Reservation, on the 23rd of November, 2021. This is the first time i will be applying to the Canadian embassy. However i have long travel history to other countries. I used the GC key. Biometrics was done 2 days after but since then, silence. Proposed Travel date is first week in April. I have read comments about a new portal. Should i keep waiting or re-apply on the new portal?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by OloriOfMontreal: 1:59am On Mar 10, 2022
Been a while here. Hope everyone is doing okay.

Congratulations to everyone who's gotten PPR for themselves or family.

I haven't seen any spousal visit visa approval since my last time here. Most approvals I see are parents and kids. Why CIC dey do like this cry

Good luck to everyone awaiting an approval!

Congratulations! Abuja VFS is quite faster than Lagos, it takes between 1-2 weeks max, while Lagos takes between 3-4 weeks. Though you may have to pay a transmission fee if you didn’t do your biometrics there.

To get the contact of the MP in your area, type on google MP in XYZ Ontario. It will bring out their contact details.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Queencyco: 11:38am On Mar 10, 2022
Yes, I did. I made reference to it and also the previous biometrics.
I simply searched google for the MP of my locality. You just need to type in your postal code. The name will come out with a link to their website and email. I sent an email stating the urgency of my situation with full application details.
