Visitor Visa to Canada, resident in the UK without BRP card (stolen)

[c_sofia]

Hi,

I am a Peruvian citizen resident in London (Masters student). I need to apply for a TRV for Canada soon because I'll to attend an academic competition in Canada.
I am a resident in the UK but recently my BRP was stolen outside the UK. I applied for a BRP replacement visa abroad and once in the UK I applied for a BRC replacement card which it can take up to 8 weeks.
My travel history is good and have the financial support for 10 days (my planned trip) But i'm worried that it wouldn't be enough if I can't show my legal permit in the uk.
Is it possible to apply without the physical BRP card ? What other evidence besides the physical BRP card can I provide to show my LEGAL status in the uk?
- Photocopy of my previous brp card (already cancelled after reported as stolen)
- Application confirmation for the BRP RC from the UKVAS
- UK BRP replacement visa stamp (still valid) or TIER 4 uk visa (expired)
- Student letter from my university which state I'm a full time student till next september? (This is a student status rather than a legal status right?)

Travel History:
- 2 US tourism visa, 1 US work visa
- 4 UK student visa (short term and tier 4)
- 2 Schengen visa in the past (non-visa national currently)
- 1 residence permit in Chile
- 1 Mexican tourism visa in the past (non-visa national currently)

Also got several entries between UK/Europe/USA

Thank you

Regardless of your BRP, you have temporary status in the UK. The BRP does not prove anything except that you have legal immigration status in the UK.

And, Canada and the UK share immigration data. Any additional information on your BRP can be requested by Canada. So, no worries on that part.


You would want to work on proving:
1. You are a genuine short stay visitor with ties to both the UK and Peru, including your student ties to the UK.

2. You have attended similar events earlier + your trip is completely sponsored by your university/similar institute + why it is necessary for your student/career profile to attend this competition

3. You have a good financial situation
