Hi everyone. Though I have been a long time guest here, I recently ed to give back to this forum.
I'm a first time applicant, and I applied with the new link.
Here is my timeline:

Visa applied for: Visitor Visa.
Purpose of visitation: To reunite with family member who is a PR holder.
Application submitted online: January 31.
Biometrics completed: February 1 (updated same day on my portal).
Eligibility review: Started March 25/26, not sure of the two dates exactly.
BVL & PPR: March 30.
Sent port to the VAC office: March 31.
Return of stamped port: April 13.

Documents submitted:
1. Letter of employment
2. Introduction letter from place of work
3. My statement of
4. Family member PR card
5. Wife's statement of
6. Birth certificate
7. Family member statement of
8. A simple SOP of about 1 page, stating reasons for family reunification
9. Letter of invitation from the family member inviting me .

I started following this Canada Visa thread weeks after submitting my application. At a point I felt somehow about my application, and wished I had done more. Nevertheless, I got a approval within 60days.
What surprised me the most is that I got the maximum duration of Visa on my port, which is the highest port duration currently being issued as a Nigerian port.

My take home in this Visa process is that simple applications are easy to get approval. Moreso a straight to the point SOP is key. I mentioned my background and skills in the SOP, this may also be of huge influence to my application.

I'm indeed grateful to God.

Thank you...

Congrat madam, can I apply for my kids visiting visa while still in Nigeria.

jayifeanyi1234:
My daughter’s tourist visa got approved today...God is faithful! I am super excited.

Application submitted on the 17th January.
Is a renewal, so her biometric is still valid
PPR-12th April.
Applied via the new portal.

Am yet to travel, so is not a family reunion application.

Is a very long story, but has ended in Praise!
In summary;
Keep praying and trusting, even when you don’t feel like.
Put in your very best in your application. Do your research, and ask questions. We have selfless people on this platform that will answer your questions. I say a big thank you to them, and God bless.
Also, there are lots of info on the study permit platform that might help.


God is good!!!!...for all that are expecting their PPR,He will show up for you.

All the best!!!

Waoh!!!!

Congratulations and thanks for giving back to this forum. Imagine having a multiple entry visa on a 10 years port.

Hello can I speak with you please @TradeSunMoore Use ilovepdf to merge the multiple documents into one single pdf and . Do same for all the other sections if you have multiple documents

Please gurus in the house i have a question which might be unrelated but help me.
I was told if i applied for a visit visa for my spouse alongside my study application, that the duration of visit visa will be tied to my study permit(2years)

Please how can i get a 10years visit visa for my spouse. Spouse is not interested in staying in canny land.

Should i apply for a tourist/Visitors visa for my spouse first before submitting my study application when approved or how?
When applying for my study visa, What should i click as to what is my spouse applying for, is it Tourist visa?

I am just concerned about a longer duration.
Those that have gone through this phase come and help me with what to do.

10years visit visa is what i want for my spouse.

Congratulations sir �

Yes. However I did not attach any visa page, only entered my previous travel details when filling the application form.

@GodsGabby, the length of your spouse visit visa will most likely be dependent on the duration of your study permit. I somehow share the same sentiment with your husband, that is, I'm not really interested in staying in Canada unless I get something really huge.

My spouse has also applied for study permit along with the kids, which is on a separate term as mine. I was also reliably informed that I can get a separate work permit visa tied to my wife's study permit visa duration with my visit visa duration still intact.

I will advice that if your husband has a blood relation in Canada who is a citizen or a PR holder, he should apply through them for a visit visa. Otherwise, I don't know if what you're asking for is possible.

Gurus in the house can give more insights on your question.

Thank you very much for responding.
I thought my question was invisible.

We do not have anyone in canada. Reason i came here to seek advice on what step to take for my spouse to get a longer duration.
2years is small for a visit visa and i don't want us to go through the wahala of extension.

Please can my spouse apply for a stand alone visit visa without invite from anyone since we dnt have?

Then when it is approved, i can go ahead with my study application.

Is it possible that way and hope it wnt take long because it's not reunification, just tourism in order to get 10years?
Gurus help too.

@RandD can you share your SOP with me?

Hello All,

Applied for my mums visiting visa Feb 12

Biometrics Feb 17th

BVL and PPR Aprill 11th

Do you mean visit visa for spouse after i have travelled to canada?
If it's that way, spouse is not ready to go through any stress o i want to use my hand to do all while my spouse provides needed requirements.

I was thinking of applying for my spouse first so i can serve as well as strong home ties on the application alongside establishments.
Then when approved by God's grace, i apply for study permit for myself using spouse as ties alongside other establishments.

I also thought of applying together(at the same time) but separately. We will use new portal and Gckey or both New/Gckey so they can run concurrently. Hope it won't affect?

I am just trying to weigh options that is why i have come to seek you all ideas.

Big congratulations to our mummy

Greetings my people. Please is a medical test required for a visit visa?

Hello my Bosses in the house. Please I need a clarification. Can a spouse to PR holder who has not landed in Canada initiate a visit visa. As she plans travelling or landing with him to help him settle. Will that stand for a good SOP. Pls I need your help.

And please can anyone refer me to the new link or a the page of this thread where I can get the new link to apply for visiting visa and all document to submit.

Thanks

Hello,

These depends on a lot of factors; travel history, how established you both are, home ties, among others. The content of your application is key.
You can also consult study permit page...loads of info available.

Wish you God’s guidance.
