Even if you hold a PGWP, SOWP or Bridging permit as a foreigner, you would still struggle to get a job based on 10% quota assigned to foreign workers in every Canadian organization talk less of you having Visitor visa.

I have accepted my fate that I will hold my visit visa until my spouse completes her course and get a PGWP and a full time job for me to convert. I know there are no short cut. Canada is not Nigeria that you can beat system. Even if you do, you can be caught tommorrow and pay the penalty.

Let’s not deceive ourselves: 4 out of 5 Nigerians who land in Canada with a visitor visa and manage to get an LMIA to convert to a work visa pay heavily for it. In some cases, it backfires as companies shut down, leaving them with a closed work permit and a loss of over $15K. Believe social media at your own risk. The majority on this forum last year, who were shouting about LMIA, are now silent after landing in canada only to get stranded and resorting to fake gay and lesbian claims in Toronto, now attending many strange clubs and gatherings just to boost their chances at asylum hearings as fake defenders of sodomy shocked

When one road closes another one opens. This isn't the first policy change in Canada and it would not be the last. Maybe the new policy will be better than the one they just stopped. Don't forget PR for caregiver on arrival is still yet to be unfolded. We go exploit that one too before then go abolish am.

The caregiver scheme requires a full time job offer, which is the most difficult aspect of the program requirement . Currently, thousands of students and residents have graduated from the PSW program and cannot even find a full time job inside Canada . Do you think you will get a job offer from outside of Canada for this program when the program itself is not even certain to start? Considering the current job scarcity in Canada, please be realistic and face the reality on the ground!

In 2023, IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) plans to welcome more than 465,000 immigrants to Canada. The target for 2024 is set at 485,000 new permanent residents (PRs). In both 2025 and 2026, Canada aims to welcome an additional 500,000 immigrants each year.

However, Due to current harsh economic reality and challenges facing  Canadian   on Monday, August 26, 2024, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced that the federal government is "looking at a number of options" to re-evaluate permanent resident levels in Canada. Miller emphasized that any upcoming changes will not be "cosmetic" but "significant." He stated, "Now it's time to take a look at them and put real options on the table for the prime minister and for other cabinet ministers to look at, and not cosmetic changes simply to deal with public opinion. Real significant change."

Miller's comments were made during an interview with CTV News Chief Political Correspondent Vassy Kapelos while attending the Liberal cabinet retreat in Halifax.

In line with these considerations, the  Canada federal government announced on Monday that there would be stricter rules to reduce the low-wage stream of temporary foreign workers after a surge in recent years to address the post-COVID labour shortage. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also indicated that more changes to immigration policy, particularly concerning permanent residents, could be expected this fall. A possible reduction in permanent resident levels could represent a major policy shift for the Trudeau government.

Canada federal election is next year so surely more brutal immigration changes ahead !

what about he who has a skill like coding language in demand? Will i be given a wp on arrival
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by funkyy598: 11:27pm On Aug 29
Sultty:

Canada has a specific system called Express Entry for skilled workers, including those in high-demand fields such as programming, web development, and cloud engineering. When Canada needs highly skilled professionals, such as web developers,JavaScript Developer, frontend engineers, or cloud engineers, it typically selects candidates from the Express Entry pool. In this system, applicants are ranked based on their qualifications, work experience, education, and other factors.

However, even after being selected from the pool and obtaining permanent resident status, many newcomers still struggle to find work in Canada, particularly in the highly competitive tech field. Currently, many skilled tech professionals are looking for work in Canada, even with their work permit status as residents. Therefore, simply arriving in Canada as a visitor and claiming to be a coding expert will not grant you a work permit!

Damn it,,,,,

And we warned many of them here that relocated on visit visa last year and early this year o, all they do is to tag us enemy of progress.

Relocating to Canada with visit visa and even student visa is not entirely a wise decision at all.

Best bet is PR straight, to me Canada isn't stable yet.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jeboy(m): 1:18am On Aug 30
Yes those that landed before Aug 28 with Visit visa amd applied for LMIA based on job offer will be excluded from the new Law. The update mentions that as exception.

But the truth is how feasible is such process for LMIA when it takes a long process by administration and bottleneck not also undermining the huge cost involved?

Taal17:

Isn't it Dj4all?

Does it also means we that those that has filed their application before the cancellation can still convert visit to work visa?

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jeboy(m): 1:26am On Aug 30
His case is not the exemption here because according to him he wants to...he hasn't applied for LMIA yet.

The exemption here is for people who have arrived Canada earlier with Visit Visa and then applied for LMIA before 28th of August 2024.

So the question the dude should ask himself is:
1) Has he landed in Canada with a TRV before 28th August 2024 and has his legal status active?

2) Has he also applied for LMI!A (Closed work) permit with the active TRV he came in with before Aug 28th 2024?

His response needs to be Yes for both before he can say it applies to him.


affoncad:


1.the new policy did not concern you since it visit visa you applied and you not going canada to change to work visa

2.Write to ircc that you paid for biometic and request new biometic letter

And lastly Note that the processing time for a Visitor visa remains at 6 months. However, approval has become increasingly challenging due to the current circumstances in Canada, where many individuals including 700% raise in nigerians that are claiming asylum on a Visitor visa. As a result, the rejection rate has risen significantly.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jeboy(m): 2:48am On Aug 30
If you don't I am not sure you will be penalized because the US refusal didn't happen before your application submission.

Why should you update them on something that doesn't give you any advantage? My thought though.

there's no need to inform them. This isn't misrepresenting because it happened after you submitted it, not before.

I am new here and need some advice. I applied for a Canadian visit visa in January 2024 and completed my biometrics in February 2024, but my application was refused yesterday. What can I do to reapply myself and increase my chances of getting the visa approved? The agent who assisted me has asked for another payment to repackage my application and make it stronger for approval because Canada has increased the visa requirements.

Only if you want to waste another money, just look for another country, Canada visit visa don cast.

Mr Derende,
Me I applied since last yr November using an agent till now no response from Canadian embassy as am typing to you, and anytime I talked to the agent he tells me to be a little bit patience.. am also getting fed up already.

Derende:
Just be a bit patient. Try and appeal to him to send you the message sent from IRCC to know the documents requested from you . If appealing to him doesn't work try and pay him a visit because most of the documents requested are time bound
and if IRCC doesn't get those documents by the specific time, decisions will be made based on the available documents available to them. So be fast about this your agent

I suspect the agent might be hiding something from you because the majority of applicants who applied since october/november last year for canada visit visa have already received a response from IRCC, and most were refused, especially first-time applicants with no travel history or family in Canada. If you have your biometric paper with you, I would advise you to apply for GCMS notes, as you can do that without the agent, and you will see the actual status of your application. I pray and hope it's not a 5-year ban that the agent is hiding from you!

Portable just returned from the USA after multiple trips to Europe. As an artist in the performing arts, he is under the International Mobility Program, which allows him to work in Canada without a work permit since is stay is for a short visit based on music. The 10-year Canadian visit visa he received automatically includes work authorization as a performing artist .
