Processing time now

Really, it's good the timing is coming down but is this thing actually realistic ?
Its true that the pace has picked up but we are still seeing paper applications of 90 + days, maybe this represents online applications only....
I hope it drops even more to 15 - 20 days just like other countries.

Hello, Yes I used mutual funds as proof of funds. Several people did as well. [ author=emeify1 post=83977226]Anyone applied with mutual funds as proof of funds. Mutual funds are usually redeemable in 24 hours. Is this acceptable as a likable cash by IRCC? Any one with this experience?[/quote]

Hi Makylove101, howfar naaa, we no hear from you again, any better ?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by makylove101: 9:43am On Nov 13, 2019
Yeah, very true. I believe the timing only improved with online applications so far. It should get better I think cause a lot of people do not necessarily want to travel during winter hence reduction in applications. #myopinion

I taya for them, the reason TRV visa takes more scrutiny is because many violate the visit visa policy, when peeps no see headway, for PNP, EE, AIPP, etc dem go come get TRV to see whether dem fit use am jakpa...

But still, it's not meant to take long....

Just wanna try your luck?

How was your account statement like?
Employment status?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by ty01: 4:08pm On Nov 13, 2019
Based on what I have read here, the chances of getting a Canada visitor visa on a virgin passport with no travel history is extremely slim.

Also student visa isn’t what you wake up and just apply for. It requires some preparation. For example, do you have an admission from a school in Canada? Have you written and passed the relevant prerequisite exams? Do you have enough funds for your tuition and up keep or a sponsor? Please check the student visa page to have a better view of their requirements.

@fatima, do you have children ? if yes, are they in school ? if yes, you can upload as supporting documents, a family pic, evidence that they are in school , maybe tuition reciept or report cards, their birth certificates, you can upload your Nigerian school certificates , is your business viable, if yes, show statement of account, get customers to write a letter of acknowledgement or sales invoices etc, then finally a letter of explanation stating why your business isn't registered and how you are about to register it. you could say it was very small and you were testing the waters before it's started to blossom, stuff like that... good luck. basically your aim is to convince the Vo that you have something to attend to here in naija than to remain over there.

As for accessing the forms download the latest pdf, I dunno of mac, but for Windows adobe x will do...

These are just my opinion, hope it helps....

Hi nairalanders, hope our day aint stressful, so I have another update on my application.

I got 3 ghost mails yesterday. so I went down for passport collection. I have picked them up.
Things to note, @Angie32, it was London that processed the application however it was stamped in Lagos.

*How do I know this, London is boldly written as place of issue.
*Secondly, why I feel it was stamped in Lagos is because, Vfs sent mails saying passport was sent from the VAC to Lag office, and when it was stamped they sent it back to the VAC.
*Then the visa start date is the day your review of eligibility ends and the visa spans till a day to passport expiry.
*submitted passports Nov 6, picked up on the 13th.. which is 8days rightly, or 5 working days cos Saturday and Sunday is weekend and Monday public holiday.
*So in total this online application took 57days.

Hope this helps us all, especially online applications.
