Hi Everyone!

I know Some people already have their visiting visa in this room, and some are just really experienced with the processing of the visa.

Can anyone who have recently or not, gotten their visiting visa pls give full detailed list of documents and forms they submitted for the application, please.

If you don't mind, I would also appreciate a bit description about your role as the applicant, I mean if you are a worker or student, and if you submitted through online, or vfs.


Thank you

livingseed:
Please all, I got a canadian visitor's visa valid for six months but I just got an admission from GBC in british columbia.
Can I go ahead to apply for my study visa? Are there any implications since I haven't used my visitors visa at all? Thanks for helping.

Hi livingseed,

There is no implication for that. If your study is just fir 6month and below, you will not be issued a study permit, which means even your visiting visa can be used for study if its a course of 6month and below.

I will advice you to travel to canada with your visiting visa and apply for a study permit from within canada. A study permit is not a visa stamped to your passport, its just a paper that will be sent to your mailing address.

Just make sure you have enough money to pay for your first year of study and living expense for one year.

Applications are quite easier when you are in canada. You can go through the online questionnaire found on the cic page, just put in your situations as it is and see for yourself. Make sure you indicate you have been granted entry to canada, and you have a letter of acceptance from a recognised institute in canada. You will be advised to apply for a study permit alone. But like I said, if you say you are already in canada the application form for within canada is different and more prioritized, which is why I said you should go to canada and make your application.

Hope this was helpful

[/quote][quote author=paradisewoods post=41918696]Hi everyone, I have a couple of questions to ask. I have a visiting visa (Business visitor) to canada, however I just got married and my wife is a student in canada since last year. She just went back last week and I wish to go join her. This is my question
1. Can I apply for dependent visa inside canada or must it be outside canada
2. Proof of maintenance for me, must the account be in my name or my wife's name. Or either?

Thanks so much for your anticipated response.

Hi everyone, am kinda new here, I don't know how to post, or comment. Am tryna answer Pradisewoods question about a dependent visa.

I have never heard of that, but I know if your wife is a full time student in canada, then you are eligible to an open work permit. Only if she has a study permit that still has a time frame of 6 months and above. Then you will be given same time till her study permit expires.

Forgive me I have no idea what a business visa is or what rules are on it, but if you have the chance to enter canada and your wife is a student, then you can make your applications from within canada. And I will tell you from experience, its always best to apply from within canada.

About sponsorship, your wife can sponsor if she has a full time professional job, but if you say she is a student then I believe she works parttime. So she wont be able to, but you can put the money in her account or yours, its all the same.

They just need to see you have enough money to take care of yourself even if you don't get a job, cos an open work permit is not guarantee of a job.

I don't really know much about visa application, thats why am in here, am just a student tryna get my husband to join me here in canada.

Read more about student spousal visa on the cic page, I think thats where you heading
Hope this was helpful

Bye
