Thank you for your response, please can I contact you privately?

Your best bet is to order your GCMS notes to know what Is going on. If your biometric number and date are reflected at the top left corner of your portal, there is nothing to worry about. That means immigration has received your biometric data. The narration you are seeing at the lower part would change to “biometrics completed” once IRCC is done with their review of your biometrics. For some applicants, it comes early, while for others, it comes later in the application process.

I think you should plan to do upfront medical to fasten your application process except you feel you have enough time and want to explore waiting for medical request from IRCC.

IRCC deals with each applications differently, I know some of these things are not absolute, anything is possible with IRCC depends on the individual, I know someone who came here as a visitor and POF was not even up to N1m.....I won't go ahead to talk about the details sha.

Even tho it's rare or probably unheard taking of taking a loan for the purpose of visiting, it shouldn't be ruled out.

I understand the importance they place on family but visitor visa is a visitor visa it can work for anybody (based on merit) they will treat ur case based on you, besides family is not the only strong ties one can have in Canada, haven't u seen conference event where people get full scholarship all expenses paid, so loan or no loan make sure whatever you are telling the vo (backed up with proof) will convince him/her

Sir ,l accept ur write up but their is absolutely no merit in funding a tourist visa with a LOAN or debt to any country not even uk or india!..go and read the ircc visa maunal then you understand more about tourist visa !

Hello house,

Please is it okay to reach out to multiple MP concerning an application? Hope it wont cause a red flag. As they all asked me to fill consent form. The first MP gave me an update that my application is still within the processing time and nothing can be done now.

The second MP is asking me to fill the consent form as well. I am scared it shouldn’t anger the VO oh as 3MP’s are making enquiry for the same persons application.

What do you all think

Hi Everyone, I applied for my newborn son in Nov 2021 and reapplied in May 2022 since I didn't hear anything back. Both applications are active and on gckey. I have contacted the nairobi office and they sent a general reply. what should I do now? should I apply a third time on new portal? would that delay the application further. Please help!

P.S : both my husband and I have active visitor visas

I have been sending emails and webforms to Ircc and sometimes I get generic responses but lately I’ve been getting a response to my email from their representatives (not generic).

Is it advisable to reply back those emails? Or send another fresh email? Cus I’m tired

I’m even tempted to reply one of those emails and ask them WHY THEY HAVE TIME TO TYPE AND RESPOND BUT THEY CANT USE THAT SAME TIME TO CARRY MY FILE AND WORK ON IT. it just doesn’t make sense how do they’ve time to respond to emails but can’t carry my file, they can clearly see application number there arrhgghhhhhhh no be reply I wan chop o

Congratulations on your approval. Please what is your timeline. Is it a spousal visit visa or regular tourist visa? What did you do to help facilitate it? Do you have a USA visa?

P.S : both my husband and I have active visitor visas

There have been many delays lately on temporary resident applications, which I think is general and may not necessarily apply to your son's file. Apart from the backlogs, the immigration authorities are trying to clear up; there has been recent news from the office of the immigration minister prioritizing last-minute decisions on students resuming for September intake. Let us hope we start seeing some responses on visit visas and other temporary resident applications soon post-school resumption.

Since you already have two same applications running on GC key, I think you should hold on and see what happens in the coming weeks, most especially when school has fully resumed. Creating a third might delay your application further as the officers now have to consider information declared in the three applications. Except you want to cancel the second submission and re-apply on the new portal but bear in mind that possible implication would be that your application would be reviewed all over again if you decide to re-apply.

This won't affect the decision on your child's application as long as you meet all their eligibility checks for a temporary resident visa. Once a decision is made on one of your applications, probably the first submission, the other will automatically be cancelled.

Please I have a few questions about PTA.
Most banks, I have read that Travel date must be within the next 2 weeks, meaning travel date not more than 14 days from PTA purchase date.

1. Does this mean I have to wait 2 weeks to my travel date to apply? But I have heard that it takes several weeks to get it, so doesn't that mean my travel date will arrive before I'm able to get the PTA?

2. Secondly, if it happens that way and travel date comes before I get the PTA, will I still get it?

3. I have GTB, ACCESS, STANBIC, STERLING and UBA. Is there any of these that is best to use to get PTA faster or the bank doesn't really matter.

4. Lastly, on the average, how long does it generally take now to get PTA. Trip is to Singapore.
