30-45 days

unclepauly:
Can anyone share what this mean? What date am I suppose to go in for my biometric and location?

You have 30 days from the date of this letter to present yourself at a biometric collection service point to give your biometrics:
- You must visit a biometric collection service point to have your fingerprints scanned and photograph taken on or before If you do not comply, your application may be refused. If your application is refused, you will have to submit a new application and pay the applicable fees. If you cannot provide your biometric information (photograph and/or fingerprints) or if you need more than the 30 days, please complete a webform

You have to bring the print out and go to one of these two centers within 30 days.

Canada work visa from Nigeria is always a scam.

There's nothing of such.

Serious company that want to hire you will first have a live video interview before even thinking of putting up any application to the embassy.

But if we talk, Na bad belle Una go dey call us

Yuop sad. All people have to do is Google. Canadian citizens are having trouble finding Min wage jobs and people think a travel agent can hook them up

Federal government said they r no longer paying for refugees to be housed at hotels starting September

So don't even think about claiming refugee status anymore


You'll prob end up living on the street till you get deported back home

Wow,
Is that why my cousin's processing is taking so long. 34 months that almost 3 years.
By inland do you mean both partners in country or is this timeline is for one spouse abroad?

Inland already in Canada. Alot of people are using this pathway to stay in Canada


Outland is 11 month

I said what I said.. deceiving people for papers is a common scourge now.

For your family’s visa, follow the same advice I gave, you should get it approved.

You are correct it's a reason why inland spousal sponsorship avg processing is 34 months now.

Processing time seems to have reduced to 2 months plus. What's happening??

People are no longer applying??

Or the system has been improved to process faster??

By the way, I recently got Biometrics Validation message, after doing biometrics 2 months back. What this about?

Chinook which is ircc ai

To be honest, I think these guys are just refusing applications for the sake of it, also because of the pressure in social amenities.

I applied for my wife and daughter to visit me in Canada (I am an international student). We demonstrated strong ties my wife has to Nigeria.

She has 2 jobs (full time and part time), we submitted all employment letters, even submitted an introduction letter from her full time employer saying they are aware of her trip and granted her leave for the period. We submitted my wife's land documents. My wife helps her aged mother to manage her residential property and we submitted legal documents for this too. Even submitted investment agreement letter for a business she has investments in in Nigeria and birth certificates and photos of my wife and her siblings in Nigeria.

Still the application was refused. They said her assets and financial situation isn't enough for the trip. They also said she is not financially established in her home country. My wife earns 1m monthly, submitted bank statement with over 16m. I submitted my own statement with over 7m too. And we submitted documents to show how the funds were gotten, payslips, invoices etc.

The second reason is that she 'has significant ties to Canada'. That second reason didn't make sense to me because it's because of the ties she has to Canada that she applied for the Visa in the first place, does that disqualify her? Even when she has significant ties to Nigeria.

This people matter tire person honestly. We have applied for GCMS note sha. Waiting to see what it says

More than likely it's Chinook
