Help how do I start my process of relocating to Canada

Candybright:

You should reapply immediately and explain yourself. I know somone that had same issue and she put in another application the next day and was approved after few weeks, less than one month. Don't ignore, you must respond to clear yourself. BtW, what country rejected you?

Will it be an issue if I shift the training from January to April? I am concerned about processing time and the training will be repeated in April. The previous refusal was still Canada

BVL received for online application made 21st August. Biometrics 22nd August. BVL November 3. How long more to wait?
This is for my sister's visiting visa

@geotherm
Anytime soon keeping checking ur mail sometimes BVL & PPR drop together wish ur sister good luck

Guys any updates on BVL? August AOR’s

Hello Guys,

Please I just need a little information about my canadian visit visa. I submitted my application 29th September, and my proposed travel date is November 19. Does anybody have an experience or thinks there is a possibility my application would be processed before my travel date, and if not what generally happens if my application was processed after my indicated travel dates (can the visa still be issued?)

I would appreciate any feedback from you guys on this.

Thanks

Not all applications are processed before the proposed travel date. Yes Visas can be issued even after the proposed travel date has passed.

My fellow Nairalanders, good morning!

Family application visiting visa approved( I hope it means we were granted visa)

Day 49

Visa Office unknown !!! (maybe London, yet to confirm)

Online application

Application submission - Sept 17th
Biomeric collection letter - Sept 19th
Biometric done & Completed - Sept 23rd
Ghost update - Oct 17th ( since no update, thanking for my patience.)
Eligibility started - Oct 31st
BVL or Correspondence letter- Nov 04 (ghost update)
Original Passport Req. letter- Nov 04 (ghost update)


My people, our flight ticket, booking ticket including my brothers grad. have all elapsed during the processing time So obviously morale was low. I decided I wasn't even going to write them (IRCC) or complain to them, anything that happens, let it happen, but somehow i was just positive.
I was surprised to see double ghost updates yesterday evening. Infact I still dey fear cos.. my online cic account still showing processing for eligibility and background checks, but for final decision, showing approved.

Elders please is this Goodnews?

Secondly, how much am I to pay to submit 3 passports ?

Can I, the authorised representative of the application submit and collect passports on behalf of my parents ?

what's the duration of time to get back passports ?

Hello everyone,
Please I invited a friend of mine and his family to visit me in Canada for Christmas.

He submitted his application online on the 13th September and did biometrics few days after.
He got Biometric Verification letter today(4th November)
Please what is the success rate after getting BVL?
I mean do they still refuse TRV after sending BVL?
Thanks

This is for my sister's visiting visa

Unfortunately my sister was denied based on travel history and purpose of visit. Is coming to see her brother who she has not seen for more than 4 years not enough reason. And why travel history? Yes she has not traveled to any other country and so. Does everyone not have first time of travel. It made totally no sense to me.

I’m so sorry about that! They can be crazy you know ...

Hello house,

I have been a member of this thread for a while but I hardly ever comment except when I asked a question a few months ago. It has been of immense help to me and I promised myself that I will update once it's concluded whatever the outcome. I just got a passport request for hubby and I today and couldn't be happier. It is a family application and we intend to visit Canada during the Christmas season (hubby, I and son). Our son doesnt need a visit.

Documents submitted: 22/09/19
Biometrics request letter: 24/09/19
Biometrics done: 25/09/19
BVL: 4/11/19
PPR: 5/11/19

Documents submitted:
1. Intro letter from office for both of us (we are both bankers)
2. Six months payslip for both of us
3. Six months salary bank statement for both of us(with about N600k balance)
4. My USD six months bank statement ($1300)
5. Pension statement for both of us
6. Money market statement (2.1m as balance)
7. Our CV
8. Three landed documents and our property document
9. HMO cards for hubby, I and Son (HMO for my son and I is platinum hence covers health emergencies abroad. I pay more but the benefits outweighs the cost)
10. Marriage certificate
11. Change of name documents
12. Birth certificate for our son
13. Receipts from the US hospital and report showing we are not owing them
14. Salary insurance certificate for both of us
15. Life insurance certificate for hubby
16. Home insurance certificate for our house
17. Home content insurance certificate
18. Copy of previous visas, stamps and valid visa(I have been to the UK, Dubia and US while hubby has been to Dubia and US). Our US visa is expiring April 2020.
19. Picture of hubby, I and son in front of our home
20. A detailed LOE from hubby and I. (Mine stating that HMO for my son and I covered international trips and that I do not currently need any medical attention)
21. Travel itinerary (stating where we will be visiting with estimated cost)
22. Flight itinerary from an agent
23. Hotel booking from booking.com

I told myself that I would be as detailed as possible especially since people like @Jayfierce @nothingdome and some I can't remember made this process a lot easier with their attention to details. And when looking up people's experience I get frustrated when they do not give out a lot of details, lol. So I hope this helps someone the same way yours helped me. Thank you all!

Congratulations @Makylove101,

yes oo, twale to @nothingdome and all

That's about 45days of processing, very quick like mine 49 days.

please do you have any idea if one can do transfer or card payment to submit passports or it's cash?

Also, I read its N14,200, is this still so?
is this per passport or per application ?

Please house kindly advice me.
