Hi, thanks for this information. I wasn't aware that 6 months is not guaranteed. So how do you book a return ticket if you don't know how long you'll be allowed until you actually arrive? Also the last time she visited Canada she wasn't stamped in. There is no indication in her passport...

Hi, my GF (Thai) and I will soon be living together - the rough plan is 7 months in Canada and 5 months in Thailand. She has a 10 year visitor visa and I'm aware that the maximun she can stay is 6 months but that she can also apply for an extension (visitor record). What exactly is the...

Ok thanks but it sounds like there is no way she would be approved from an LMIA. Her job could clearly be filled by someone in Canada. Also her stay in Canada would be 2-3 weeks max. Realistically the only way she could come is with TRV and keep the company out of it.

thank you. I thought that after she gets a work permit that she then applies for a TRV (processing time for TRV from Phils is 35 days according to IRCC). It sounds like this is not going to happen. She is a remote worker who has worked for us for the past year and she's doing an excellent job...

Hi, that's what i thought. Any idea how long the work permit application takes? Also what is the liklihood of success? And then if obtains a work permit she then applies for a visa? The visa turnaround from Phils is 35 days, so wondering if this is actually doable for December

Hi, our company has an off-shore employee in the Phils. We would like for her to visit Canada for several weeks in December. Can someone advise the type of visa she needs? Technically she we will be "working" in Canada (essentially doing the same job that she performs in the Phils, but will...

Hi, my Thai GF has a multi-entry visitor visa and she plans to visit me this summer. Her 30 year old niece plans to accompany her. The trip will be about 10 days. The niece should not have much difficulty getting a visa, however not sure what the best way to complete her application. Should...

It still says: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility. So they haven't started reviewing eligibility but they have asked for the passport LOL

I spoke to soon, 5 minutes after posting this I got the request for passport letter!

Hi, my GF applied March 14 and the estimated processing time (Thailand) is 25 days. So far no movement at all. Is this normal? I see so many posts about TRV taking months/years, it makes me wonder if processing times are out to lunch?

Hi, I'm in the same situation, my GF's english is not great. I created a portal account in my GF's name, but with my email address. I did everything in the application including writing a cover letter and had my GF sign it. So it appears that my GF did everything and there was no...

10 years (brand new)

yes 6 years if fine because my GF is retiring in 3 years and at that point we'd apply for perm resident.

Hi thanks for your reply. In the IRCC portal there is an "additional documents" option. I will use this for cover letter, financial documents (bank statement, real estate deeds, Thai employment verification letter), prior Canada visa, proof of relationship etc. I also like that the portal...

Hi, there are several threads on which portal to use and I'm surprised that no one seems to know the answer. I have an application ready to go on both the IRCC portal and the secure website (GCKey), hoping someone can clarify which should be used? If you google how to apply for a Canadian...

Hi, on the IRCC secure account the question has different options for her: 1. tourism 2. to visit family or friends Personally I think #2 is more accurate, as the sole reason for visiting is to see me. Totally confused as to which portal to use (IRCC secure account vs IRCC portal). The...

OK thanks. Regarding her biometrics - they have 6 yrs validity, so I gather her visa will be for 6 years (presuming she gets multiple entry). So probably not worth re-doing biometrics to get 4 more years. It was a bit of a pain for her as she had to take a day off work.

Hi, just switched over to the new portal. This is for my Thai GF. For the question why do I need a visa, does she say: 1 Tourism 2 to visit my spouse, common law partner..... 3 other family member or friend I think it would be incorrect to put common law partner - we are living together 5...

Well I ended up going through the application on the IRCC portal and it's quite different than the secure account. What's up with that? The portal has far fewer required documents. I assume I use the portal to submit? Is there any difference?

Hi, ok, I manged to get the invite code and now I have an "IRCC portal account" and an "IRCC secure account". Which of these accounts should i use to submit the application?
