I went to vfs on Tuesday 12th Dec submitted my application and did biometric that same day and I got a message now that my prossceed passport is ready for collection just 2days interval and I am on my way to PH now . I was thinking it takes 1 or 2 weeks to be ready with what I hear in recent time , does it mean my application was not proceed. .. just thinking, I can't go back to Lagos now and I did not request for courier services . Hope no issue

Go and check it out bros. God is your strength.

Check it out while I am on my way back to PH when I got the massage , meanwhile I ask them if I can send money for courier when passPort is ready since Im not with cash to pay for courier now and the guy said yes I should send a mail when I get a respond for collection I think that's what I will do now. Bro did they send you first mail that your application has been forwarded to visa application office that same day because I got such mail toward evening that same day.

Don't be panic. You might be the lucky one

What response are you expecting? The applicant already got a message to come pick up his/her passport so what do you expect us to say?

He/she should go pick up his passport and let us know the outcome, that is point for now.

Hope it went well.

Well i email them for courier services and I got a respond that yesterday to pay for courier with detail information and I just dif this morning and forwarded to them. My concern now is why soo quick within 2 days of application submission, is strange to me , does it mean they don't verify documents again because 2 days can't be enough for visa decision. Anyway I have made up my mind to take the outcome in good Faith

Good afternoon my people, our God is faithful i received my processed passport today with the visa stamp. thank you all.

When did you submit your application?

For your daughter that's a US citizen, she does not have to be included but there is a space in your main application form where you are to mention your immediate family dependents. You are the primary applicant and your wife and boy, secondary.

Do you have a relation inviting you over?

We dont have anyone inviting us over, just going for tourism of 2 weeks and back to Nigeria. Thanks dear and please I want to know if i will fill 3 different online form for me, my wife and son since my daughter wont be included as a US citizen. Please help me in this form issue, or are we filling one form

@allhavesinned, Yes I think you will have to fill separate forms for each individual. However, you can get to do it all on one single online profile(Primary Applicant's) so all can be treated together as a family. Just make sure to answer the questionnaire adequately to be able to generate your "documents checklist" to include that of your accompanying family members alongside yours.

I think the question reads like this "Do you have any family member accompanying you that you want to apply together with" You have to pick YES, and that will be for your Spouse. Then it will ask again, if you have other family member blah blah blah like above, then you pick YES again and this will be for 1 child. It goes on and on if you have more children coming with you. After choosing for all, then you will say NO when asked again if you still have other family member.

Here's the link to the Questionnaire: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/come-canada-tool.html

NOTE: Cant remember precisely how the question was stated but my sample should be similar enough for you to get through it correctly.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your application.

Good morning to you all. I'm full of joy right now. I applied for Canada visit visa last week Dec 12 through paper route, Dec 15 I received a msg from vfs stated my processed passport is ready for collection, Kai I was really scared, just 3days for visa processing, where some people has been waiting over 8weeks yet no response from the vfs. Inshort I went to the vfs today hoping maybe my application was rejected and to God be the glory I was approved with 2years multiple visa.

You guys here are really helpful.

Congrats, your timeline pls

You will have to fill different forms, but make sure its one application and you should be the primary applicant. There's a stage at the beginning where they ask if anyone is accompanying you. I guess that is where you include your family.

I guess the process is now pretty fast. I thought mine was really fast, they requested for my passport in about 16days as against the 93days processing time i was seeing on the website, i didnt know there was a faster one. Passport dropped though, expecting my pickup message.

Submitted my application last week 13th Dec., 2017 and just today 19th Dec., 2017 I got a message and mail "Visa application, Tracking Id No. – Your processed passport is ready for collection , on at the Canada Visa Application Centre. Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email." also "Visa application, Tracking Id No. 20171213CALATRVXXXXX – Passport has been couriered from the Canada Visa Application Centre, on 19-12-2017 vide courier partner. Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email. " and the last email reads "Visa application, Tracking Id No. – Passport has been couriered from the Canada Visa Application Centre, on vide courier partner. Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email. "
This decision was made within 6days of submission. I am a bit afraid of the outcome though. It takes God to make it happen.
