Dear folks ,

Can someone please assist and respond to my request ?.I am new here and I believe in people here.

Good day,

Please i am new here and I will appreciate your opinion about this.I apply for trv using paper application and the purpose is conference that is sponsored by my employer .
I submitted all the document from :
Statement of my account funded by my employer in the narration,employment letter,payslip,tax clearance,travelling insurance, marriage certificate,my children birth certificate, they all have passport and the number was qoute in the application, invitation letter from conference team to my employer and embassy separate and all submitted. I have travelled to UK and Ethiopia as part of travelling history.my travelling itinery was included. I have also applied for trv in 2015 for visit without invitation but was denied due to insufficient documents and was advised to reapply.

My challenges is this ,the date of the conference has passed and my application is still showing being processed.it is more than 45day now,is their any chance of getting this visa?

Please what is your opinion about this because the conference is 4days and the company paid part of the conference fees before invitation was issue and company book hotel accommodation all this was included.

You can still get the visa. Paper application seem to be taking longer than before this days. Since the date of thw conference has passed. You can cancel the hotel booking and the company can ask fkr a refund of the fees paid. Notwithstanding, they may still give you the visa

Wonder if it may be a good idea to submit a new itinerary and letter of explanation saying since the conference date passed , you would simply like to visit for tourism purposes. Just an idea though

Go to booking.com. you wont get acconodation on hold via airbub. You have to pay. At least from my own experience

Please let me ask this question for myself. Is a booking on hold possible on airbnb?. I tried doing an accomodation via aribnb for visa purposes, but it requires payment. Is there something im not doing right. Has anyone used airbnb for visa purpose without paying first?

wow. That was a fast one

Hello,

I'll please appreciate some feedback on this, a family member did their biometrics on the 21st of December, 2018. He used an agent so I really can't say the day the application was submitted.

Anyway, since the biometrics was collected, he hasn't gotten any other mail from VFS, not even that of biometrics confirmation. I didn't even know about that I just saw people mentioning it here and asked him. The only mail he got was the acknowledgement of the submission.

Could the biometrics not have been acknowledged ? Its quite surprising to me. The tracking number doesn't pull out any record.

Its about 70+ days already.

Anyone with ideas ? Suggestions ?

Thanks

Pls can u DM on how to go about letter of refusal,I was denied visa in january.i will reapply in june gots some projects doing

I got to find out that if you apply via the paper route, your application goes to Kenya for review and if you go via the online route your application goes to the UK for review. From my own observations I don’t think the folks in Kenya know their job because after our 1st refusal using the paper route, we reapplied online and used the exact documents and we were granted the visa.

So, if you have been refused visa via the paper route I think you should re apply online.


Paper route timeline

Submitted - 12 Dec 2018

Are you able to track online on CIC website?

canadaman18:


Are you able to track online on CIC website?

Yes

It says "no record found".

Tracking number was issued by VFS so that's strange. Although I googled and it says it would only show progress only after they've started reviewing the application. Does this mean they haven't started in 3 months ?

Maybe. Was this a paper application?

Is insurance needed for tourist visa?

So I asked and no, the agent did the online application just gave him the Biometrics collection form to take to the embassy.

Doesn't have the GCkey login

Is it possible to collect biometrics without an application ?

I dont know how the agent was able to submit an online application without a GCkey.

The only other login method is usually through canadian instututions
