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?

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.

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.



@affoncad
Ok. Thank you so much for your response

1. Could it be because I still have a valid biometric expiring Sept 2025?

2. I used a representative, but can I send an email directly to them asking why they have not reached out to me on biometric

3. Can I convert my visit visa to study permit (Four years course) then bring in my family in the course of my study?

Hello my beloved people!

@Derende said IRCC requested for an updated POF 6 months after applying, I've never heard anything like this, I just learnt something from this so I need more clarification pls......

1. If you had and printed XYmillion, when you apply, must you leave that amount there till it's approved.

2. Can I spend my POF and build it again?
My worries is that , does it means that we can't spend the Ballance we used for POF,

3. And if update is requested for my POF, perhaps I have spent it, can I deposit and just print like 1 week statement again?

Pls I really need urgent enlightenment and advice.

olasubomy:


Hi,

1. If the XY million is a huge sum, such that a withdrawal will result in the balance being insignificant to the visa officer if an updated statement is requested, then you have to leave the account as it is till your application is finalized. However, perhaps, you are in business and you can explain the source of funds convincingly, then you can withdraw and replace.

2.. Of course you can spend out of your Proof of funds but, since the bank statement is under review, you need to ensure balance there makes sense at all times in case an updated statement is requested.

3. The VO will definately notice the recent "credit inflow" and write you to explain or refuse the application as they may term it "you presented the account for demonstration purpose". It is better not to wait for IRCC letter before returning back the money but if you must withdraw & replace, make sure you have good explanation on source of funds. The explanation must be consistent with what you stated when you submitted the application.

Best Wishes!

I applied in May but yet to hear from IRCC and I have a US visa

[i]According to ircc Visa application centres will screen all applications for CAN+ eligibility. Applications that show that the applicant travelled to Canada in the last 10 years or holds a valid U.S. non-immigrant visa will be sent to the visa office for expedited processing.[/i]

So Send a webform saying you qualify for can+ and reattach copy of the usa visa.

Chibudollar:
Some of my guys paid for their visa process and it's been almost a month and they haven't called them for their biometric, is this normal?

affoncad:


Nobody will call you for your biometrics. You should check your online portal for the biometric instruction letter instead.

Chibudollar:
they used an agent. Not me
