    QUEBEC SKILLED WORKER APPLICANTS FROM PHILIPPINES... LET'S SHARE EXPERIENCES..

    Hi All, Although I already applied through the FSW stream, I would like to know more about the QSW to have a backup plan. As I was reading through the posts here, I gather na hindi pala mandatory ang knowledge of French. Although I am willing to learn, I am bound to time constraints dahil gusto...

    Preparing to apply for canadian temporary visa

    hi epie, apologies for the late reply. unfortunately, i haven't tried applying for a TRV online. i've always done it through paper. have you tried a different browser though? perhaps there was just a problem with the display on the browser. just a thought.

    Visiting Canada Issues-Nightmares!

    yes, nothing changes but like i said, it might help. there's a a post here from someone from UK who applied for a TRV even when she didn't need too as she was from a visa-exempt country and mentioned that it helped her case. here's the thread...

    Visiting Canada Issues-Nightmares!

    i was just wondering, why don't you try to apply for a TRV at a Canadian Embassy (even when you are from a visa-exempt country) to spare yourself from questioning/interrogation at the POE?

    Preparing to apply for canadian temporary visa

    so this means your travel will be Ghana - US - Canada - US - Ghana, correct? if this is the case, then it makes more sense. you will have to present the documents backing up your claim that your original itinerary is to go to the US and the visit to Canada is "secondary" to make your trip worth...

    Preparing to apply for canadian temporary visa

    it can be an added factor but it will not guarantee an approval to your TRV application. remember, it all boils down to showing the IO that you are going back to Ghana after the visit. i don't know if it's just me but i think having a US visa and USED it in the past will help you establish a...

    Preparing to apply for canadian temporary visa

    well, i guess it's just a preventive measure to regulate those that are coming in to their country. while it is true that we don't intend to stay illegally, the fact that there are other people who don't do the same can't just be dismissed/ignored - ergo, the rules to acquiring visas.

    Preparing to apply for canadian temporary visa

    there's a section in the application form (IMM5257E) where you are to indicate when you would plan to visit Canada although it still depends on the validity of your visa as to when you intend to use it in reality. if you apply now and show proof that you are going back to Ghana in time for your...

    Preparing to apply for canadian temporary visa

    this is the checklist of items you need to submit for your TRV application and there's nothing that says it's a must to provide provisional airline booking (it just says, if applicable) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5484E.pdf i have applied for TRV several times and i never...

    Preparing to apply for canadian temporary visa

    it is not recommended to purchase tickets until you receive your visa. one of the things i saw here in the forum is that not having any travel history is usually a reason of refusal. i think it's because when you travel, you establish your financial capacity of being able to shoulder the...

    TRV DECLINE

    sorry to butt in but i think this comment is unnecessary. i'm sure it was just a matter of typo and O_guy doesn't deserve to be tagged with what you just called him.

    multiple entry visa question. How long do you want to stay?

    multiple entry visa allows you to go back and forth Canada more than once until it expires. for that question, it refers to how long you will stay in Canada for 1 trip (on your first trip to Canada). the IO has the discretion on the duration of the multiple entry TRV you will be granted. in most...

    visiting visa and multiple entry visa

    that is correct. if the visa issued was for single entry only, then they have to apply for a new TRV for the next visit. they can apply for multiple entry if they have intentions of coming back and forth more often in the future.

    TRV fresh query

    do you have any property under your name to show sole ownership? you also mentioned that you are going to Canada for your son's treatment. you can probably include documentation on what type of treatment that would be, although proof that you are to return to your home country at the end of your...

    Need advise on my case refusal

    the holidays would be a good reason to have a family travel and it is always best to apply for a visa ahead of time. it's already september and i think you'll have to apply as soon as you have all the documents you need. all the best!

    Need advise on my case refusal

    thanks for clarifying, O_guy, that's what I was trying to convey. :) it is easier to convince the VO that the trip is to travel as a family and that the husband will have to go back to the business they have heavily invested on of course it will be a different hurdle later on at the POE but...
