Please I need an honest reply. How easy to convert family tourist or visit visa in Canada to student or any other visa. The aim is to stay in Canada after entering through the visit / tourist visa. Thanks. |

Hello, So I applied last week online, got my biometrics done after getting the biometric letter. I eventually just got an update on my account that reads something along this line: "biometrics not needed for your application, you will receive an update, if this is changed". Is this normal? |

gr8tstar: Hi gr8star, this is somewhat similar to wanting to seek asylum. a visit visa is issued on the grounds that the applicant will come back so wanting to stay back is in contradiction. for the student visa conversion, a visitor is issued a category V visa while a student is issued an S visa. they are very different. in addition, even if you secure a study TRV within Canada, you MUST leave as a visitor and reenter as a student for CBSA to issue a study permit. if you have a US visa, you can easily do this crossing and entering back but i guess you can use Barbados as it is visa free for nigerians. 3 Likes |

Good Day Gurus, in here I have been following this group in silent. I need advise . My sister got 2yrs Visa .My question is how easy can She get PR if she have a baby within one yr... (2) If she leave Canada to Barbados or USA How easy can she get Student Visa to Enter Canada assuming she have admission to Study in Canada.... |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jawa: 6:41pm On May 31, 2017 |
mrchemist: dear mrchemist, if your sister delivers in Canada her baby will be a Canadian citizen and she can subsequently get Canadian visas easier. however, this does not qualify her for a PR. you misunderstood my point i think.my point was that if you arrive as a visitor and then during your visit you secure a study TRV(have a study request approved by CIC), you MUST exit and reenter Canada to be issued a study permit. however, this is a very difficult procedure as you do not have any ties in Canada as a visitor. in my opinion, i think CIC approve more study TRVs than visit TRVs so why cant people just apply from here and avoid stress.Best of luck 1 Like |

Good morning, Please I need advise. Our visitor visa was denied, reason stated was that 'Purpose of visit' and 'sufficiently strong socio-economic ties to your home country' . My Wife and I have been to UK and US like 5 times. We actually stated the purpose and wrote a letter of explanation. Can we re apply? and explain to VO the purpose and proof of strong tie. Thank you. |

omoba26:hello, sorry about the refusal. how did you apply? Online or paper route? |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Truce01: 2:12pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
Meggito:Hello, You can reapply, try to show them a much stronger tie to Nigeria and prove that you have reason to leave Canada after the approved period. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Graceee: 2:12pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
omoba26:Yes re apply but before you do that gather more financial documents and add more landed properties with a well composed state mentioned of purpose. 1 Like |

gr8tstar: Hello, There can't be a generic answer to your question as every application is treated independently and based on its merit. Technically, it is possible to change status while in Canada but be careful not to take up employment without a work permit. Read through the CIC website to find out the requirements for changing status or use the mobile app Canadian visa guide to ask questions and navigate the CIC website faster. Pls note, when travelling as a visitor DO NOT travel with your credentials, its raises a red flag and gives away your true intention. Hope this helps. 1 Like |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by baani(m): 3:38pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
Good day Nairalanders, I would like to give a short story about what i am trying to achieve so i can get detailed or clear response from you all. I am currently based in the USA and my wife recently had a baby. My mum just got back from the USA (she has a 2yrs visit visa), now as must of you all know a person with this type of visa can't stay in the states for more that 6 months (correct me if i am wrong). Based on the ticket fares and travelling back and forth from the US to Nigeria, we taught it would be wiser to get her a visit visa to Canada, hence when she's here in the state and it getting close to that point when she needs to leave we would all go to Canada spend a week or two and head back to the states. My questions are as follows: 1) Does this sound like a good plan and would it work when going through both (USA and Canadian) borders. As we would be driving not flying 2) Can i do the application from here in the states or does she need to apply while she's in Nigeria 3) I have gone to the Canadian Visa application site and its not as smooth as the USA visa application site (my opinion). I have gone pass the eligibility process but im lost as i dont know what to do next. I know it might be a bit much to ask but what is the process of aplying? Do i need to create an account? 4) How do i pay the 100 CAD fee, i dont have a canadian debit or credit card, can i use the american card and if i was to apply from NIgeria how is the payment made 5) The plan is to stay in a hotel while in Canada, now do i need to book a hotel such that i have a reservation which i can submit during the application process or to be presented during the interview. 6) I was told there is no interview for Canadian visa applicant, how true is this. 7)ANY OTHER HINT WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED Thank you for the time you would take to read and answer |

baani:First of all I will take permission from oga Jawa the super man. I will only tell you the little I know Yes you can apply for her visitors visa from bufalo NY and yes you can pay with your American car And yes you need to create an account through CIC website then apply online while she does her thumb print in Bufalo (visa centre). Like I said if you wait a little Jawa the super man can counsel you better. He is our Oga at the top 1 Like |

baani: Stringing of visas? @the bolded is a serious red flag for someone that is on a B1/B2 visa, that US visa may be REVOKED sooner than later. Take dressing oh! |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by baani(m): 6:57pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
OmoBendel24: thanks for your response but im having a difficult time trying to accept it, so your saying that if i have an american visa i cant get other visas or let me put it this way because i have an american visa i cant travel to other countries till the american visa expire? |

How can a visitor to Ontario Canada properly addressed his or her purpose of travelling. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jawa: 7:42pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
baani: Dear Baani, sorry for your dilemma. However, as you are thinking of this, the CBP and CBSA already thought of it. What you plan to do is called a 'de facto resident' where you try to exit borders and reenter so you're stamped in for fresh six months. This will backfire and as its an elderly person involved, she probably will never want to travel anywhere after the experience because once she cant show a return ticket to her home country, its detention, visa cancellation, ban then deportation. To answer your questions; 1) this is not a good plan 2) this is totally up to you. But given the circumstances, assuming you hold a valid greencard, i think its better she applies from nigeria 3) create an account and apply for a visa. Its a complex website but you can get around it 4) its 185CAD and your US debit card can easily help you out here 5) eaily do this at Booking.com. No stress there 6) largely, no interview but personally, i consider a statement of purpose a non-appearance interview 7) my advise is to file for a residency for your mother. It may take time but i think its better. You can get her a canadian visa and you all visit and return to US as planned but once you repeat this, it may be an issue and she has to have a return ticket to Nigeria at all times meaning you have to keep shifting her return reservation which will cost money. As you plan to drive, you probably won't be stamped in maybe just an I94 and this will mean that there will be no reset of the 6months meaning that you enter back and continue where you left off. There's a provision to check enteries on cbp's website. I checked mine recently and it didnt show my land crossing. Please head to www.cbp.gov to understand this properly. Alternatively, you can buy her a ticket with route jfk-los-jfk. This is the cheapest route to the US. Shun her return ticket and make jfk her origin instead of lagos, you'll save out a lot of money from this. |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jawa: 7:52pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
expertman: Hi expertman, i have seen your email request but i am a busy fellow and work stress is too much, lagos is not for the weak. I like to do this at my leisure and i do it because I understand the process and want to share and learn more. Please accept my apologies. I am not sure what you're asking. Purpose of travel would be why you're visiting Canada and then Ontario in particular maybe even down to where in ontario you're going. In the online portal however, what you provide as response to this question will be documented evidence of your planned visit. Return air ticket reservation, hotel reservation, itinerary of planned activities and so on. Please pay for nothing until you have a canadian foil in your passport. I hope this helps. Best of luck |
