Many ways bro, just use your head. Don't go the LMIA route as it might take time and you most likely will only have 6 months to stay. The trick is, look for an immigration program with less requirement like AIPP, its easier to look for work in Canada if you're there than from here, especially if you're a graduate or have a skill. Don't go looking for manager or director job, look for menial jobs like truck driver, farmer etc, just to get a job quickly and achieve your aim, once you have gotten what u want, u can then push for your career gradually. Bottom line, use your head brother. Upeople: |

Hi everyone, my mum has been asked to submit her passport. Please i need your help. Apologies if this is a repetition. 1. She did biometrics 2 years ago, this is a visa renewal. Do we have to pay another transmission fee? 2. I cannot seem to find the VFS consent form online. 3. Can i send the passport from Ibadan via DHL and pay a two way courier or do i have to wait for VFS to get back to me and pay using their own courier. 4. Did you have to submit a passport photograph?\ Thanks |

[quote author=pamelaa post=96109184]If you're an immediate family member of a citizen/PR, you can follow the instructions in the link below and send them an email. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html#existing We applied for MIL since March and Biometrics was done since March too but till now nothing. We sent the mail to them weeks ago and this was the reply we got. The mail we sent, we attached birth certificate and our PR cards. Subject: Request to be exempted from Canada’s Travel Restrictions for the extended family member exemption December 02, 2020 Good day, Your request to be exempted from the current restrictions to travel to Canada has been refused under the COVID-19 Emergency Orders in Council (OIC) pursuant to section 58 of the Quarantine Act. Based on our assessment of the information you provided and the information in our system, we have not found that you meet the extended family member exemption. In particular, You have not provided a complete statutory declaration attesting to your relationship with the Canadian Citizen or permanent resident that is signed by the Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Please note that if you already possess a valid visitor visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA), this refusal has no impact on your travel document, and is solely a refusal of your request for written authorization which you require to travel to Canada while the travel restrictions are in place. If you do not already have a valid visa or eTA and have applied for a travel document, this refusal for written authorization does not have an impact on the processing or on the decision rendered on your visa or eTA application. As you are not exempt from the restrictions to travel to Canada, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada, as you may be prevented from boarding your flight and/or entering Canada. Sincerely, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada |

dapsalmy:It’s not as easy as you think bro, don’t let any agent or blogger deceive you. A trv is an entry document which doesn’t give any status in Canada and can not be converted to work permit. Secondly, no employer will give u a job if u don’t have a work permit & SIN except u have connections to work under table & be hiding from d cops - i bet you won’t last long before u ar deported. No Canadian immigration program is easy; both LMIA & AIPP require employer support & no employer wants to go through immigration stress when they can easily hire someone that already has a wp or pr. Yes, it’s easier to search for work while u are inside canada, but it’s extremely difficult to find an employer that will help u within d six months u ar allowed to stay. The Canadian employers know next to nothing about immigration process & when u try to explain to them they see it as too cumbersome, only a few of them understand how the process works. If u are lucky u can find a fellow Naija or indian employer that can help u ( scratch my back I scratch ur back). But then, u & d employer will still have to proof to immigration that they can’t find anyone in canada that can cook egusi soup the way u cook it. 6 Likes 1 Share |

@dapsalmy: Hello Gurus in the house please help. I got a mail that my decision envelope has been dispatched from IRCC and ready for collection. I’ve paid and filled the courier form for collection for more than a week now. Does it take this long to get response from VFS or is there something else I should do ? I’ve been calling their line and trying to chat vfs but none is working. Anyone with experience should help please. Thanks |

[quote author=agates post=97133412] Please can someone kindly respond. Thank you[/quote I dont have an answer to your first question. For the 2nd question, just type vfs consent form nigeria on a search engine to get the form. 3rdly, you only have to pay 1 way courier to the vfs office. Once they get your passport back from IRCC, they would send you an email on how to get your passport back |

[quote author=caseynewnn post=97136073][/quote] Thank you so much for responding. God bless you. I will just go ahead and pay the transmission fee for her, I had read here that if you did your biometrics in the same place you wouldn't need to. Since i cant confirm better to just pay. Thanks again. |

Hi everyone, I submitted the form for my in-laws passport return and we received this message 6days after. The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. *** has been collected from the Canada Visa Application Centre, Canada Visa Application Centre, Lagos on ***. Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do not reply to this email. What does this mean as they are yet to receive the passport and it's only the principal applicant that received this. Anyone with similar experience, do they usually send all passports in the application together or separately. I made payment for both and submitted forms for both. Thanks |
