For those that apply in May. They are still in May 10th

mesh2003:


I applied for my mum May 9th online. Was approved last week July 5th. I think email is the best way to communicate with them. I never got a response till date when I sent the CSE form. I sent them an email and they told me they would send me a passport request letter the next day and they did.

FloralR8:


Hello, hope you're doing well. I'm in the same situation as you were in and was looking through the threads for guidance. The email you sent, was it to the accra.immigration@international.gc.ca address?

FloralR8:


Hello. Which email did you send the inquiry to? Is it accra.immigration@international.gc.ca And was the application you sent an online or paper one?

deejay102:
Urgent please.

Is it possible to send an additional document after paper submission without request? Will it be accepted.? Thanks

mesh2003:


Its the email address above. If you applied through paper, its better you link it online so you can see any update made on your application. You need to quote your DLI number when sending an email to them to trace your application.

FloralR8:


Hello. Thanks for your response. My mother in law completed her application online but I've been doing follow ups on her behalf. She provided me with a UCI and a file application number that starts with V and I've been including those numbers in my emails to accra. What is the DLI?

Also, when I've sent e-mails to accra and requests through the CSE forms with additional documents, I've only received the standard automated messages. Is there anything I should be putting on the subject of the email or in the body of the email to get a personalized response and not the automated response?

Thanks!

hi rinw, i suggest you just come out as you are. single people get visas always. I am single and I even have family in Canada which is a tie but I have a Canadian Visa and this is the first one i secured as an adult without family sponsorship. to be honest, i even think having friends and relatives may make your case better, my opinion. it is a VOs choice to determine which conditions are good or bad and who merits a visa and who doesnt. the ties you mentioned above are the only ones i have too(work, family, travel history and im single) not a single landed property and an account balance of barely one million but my application was straight forward and my letter of explanation was detailed. i often imagined how easy it would be for a VO to assess my application. i also dont rush any visa application, something always goes wrong. i dont see anything wrong with your situation but of course, im not a VO.
on a second note, if your guts arent that strong, wait till you resume your studies and do like a term and then apply, it may be easier and definitely shorter but not necessary positive as some people i know that have gone this route were refused so applications are case by case. take it easy and good luck.

Thanks for the response Jawa
Actually it was an open work permit which I submitted my paper application at vfs in Lagos in February, it was taking too long so I decided to write to withdraw my application towards the ending of June, as at 1st week of July my passport was ready for collection, you mean I should accept refusal while filling the forms for another application, because the reasons for refusal was not marked in the letter.
Please I will appreciate your response.

thanks for the response Jawa.
I'm going the online route. If my biometric is done in Lagos, can I submit my passport outside Nigeria when dey request for it? or use courier service to send the passport to them. Please kindly advice. Thanks

Jawa:


Hi, it is best you admit this refusal and explain your concerns in your explanation letter with relevant evidence like the withdrawal mails sent. Best be safe than to be seen as misrepresenting. You can also wait, apply for your case notes and know exactly what had happened. Good luck

You can submit your passport anywhere in the world. Had same issue with my mum. Left for the UK a day after she got the passport request. I sent an email to Accra with copy of exit and entry stamp to the UK asking if she could submit in London. They replied that she could with the passport request letter. I didn't get any formal letter from them. I printed the email and attached it to the passport request letter and the passport. It was stamped. If you have plans made already outside the country, go on with it. That's the good thing about online application. It doesn't tie you down.
