the reason is clearly stated only people in Canada can apply for you. You can use third party apps like GCMS buddy , get gcms etc

Pls what does it mean for IRCC to be verifying my documents?

Have ordered another gcms note so I can have visibility of the application full cycle. The waiting is really tiring oh.


Experienced guys in the house @affoncad, @Ashirioluwa, @uchennay, @Kurukuru, @Bobomaigida and others.

Hopefully you should get a respond from ircc within the next 30 days and we hope it approved! smiley

The big engineer (@ednut1)in canada you're asking will be better able to answer your questions about PR, citizenship, and jobs in Canada and not study mattersmiley


Yes, as of today, if your wife gets admission to study for a master's program more than 16 months in durationv at a Canadian university, you can apply for a spousal open work permit (SOWP).

Good day sir, please, I did biometrics around may , on the 14th to be precise. And it’s 4months past already and I haven’t gotten any mail. Though it’s my first time applying so I don’t really know how the whole processing works. But from your question up there, I take it that when the processing starts it still going to take a while? Thanks.

My wife and I are in Canada holding a work permit and open work permit. We have two kids back home in Nigeria, please what’s the process of applying for them? Would it be study permit or visit visa? They are minors 8 and 10 respectively. Meanwhile the major question is do I apply from my own portal or create a GCkey portal for each of them? Thank you

I guess , we just have to be patient. Just learnt that the processing takes up to six month.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by folla: 9:53pm On Oct 03, 2024
Given that the kids are above 5 years, it's recommended that you apply for study permit for them, using your own portal.

Cheers.

Kindly note that one must be present in Canada to be able to apply directly for gcms notes.

If outside Canada, apply indirectly through someone present in Canada.

Cheers.

Not true. You don't need to be present in canada to apply for it.

No direct or indirect gcms ,Anyone can apply for GCMS notes on their own without needing a third party, and it’s free from inside or outside canada. Many people have already applied successfully. If you use a third party now, keep in mind that next time, you can do it yourself and avoid wasting money!

I suggest consulting a lawyer in nigeria, given the urgency of completing the process within 30 days. They can guide you through the legal requirements and expedite the process.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by elzi(f): 11:35am On Oct 04, 2024
Good day everyone. Please I need advice on what to do. My agent applied for Canadian visit visa for me early this year. Went for biometrics in February. During this waiting period, there was minimal or no communication at all with the said agent up until yesterday.
He said my visa approval is out that I should pay his balance service charge, before releasing the letter to me then go to the embassy for passport submission.
I reminded him of our initial agreement which was seeing my stamped passport before final payment. He agreed to send the approval letter to me only on the condition that he will blur some parts. I'm thinking the blurred part will be my application number which I don't have access to.
Please what do I do because I don't have access to my portal to see my status. What if the agent is trying to scam me
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by angie88: 1:56pm On Oct 04, 2024
U can apply for gcms note by urself from any part of the nation where u are. There's even a free version
