My friend intends to travel to Canada on a visit visa and stay with his relatives (Permanent Residents). He wants to change his visitor visa to student visa or work permit from within Canada itself, basically settle down there and become permanent resident. What needs to be done and how. If you have similar experience in this regard or have heard of it, please reply.

i am actually indian.

I was wondering if someone who goes to Canada on a visitors visa, finds a job in Canada and the employer offers a job letter, will that be enough for the Canadian immigration authorities to allow the individual to apply for a Work permit or Permanent Residency? Will he/she need to leave Canada to before applying for the Work Visa/Permanent Residency?

HOUSE OF COMMONS, OTTAWA – Sep. 30th 2009 Hon. Gurbax Malhi: “Mr. Speaker, every week I meet with constituents to discuss solutions for various problems. The single most common issue that I am asked to address is the high rates of refusal for temporary residence visas. Relatives and friends are denied entry to Canada for important events like birthday celebrations, weddings and funerals. Many applicants who have been granted visas in the past are now finding their applications being rejected without ever being told why. The refusal by the government to address the needs of Canadians by amending the current practices for issuing visas and creating a bond system is only causing anguish for Canadians and their families. I call on the government to immediately institute a system of visitor visa bonds and end the unfair treatment of these Canadians and their loved ones abroad.” Keep in touch with the Hon.
