What form am I to upload there or please what am I to upload there.

For most people, the date they ought to travel has passed. Though if someone still meet the requirements, IRCC will still approve the visa. They won't look at the date but rather, the eligibility.

Hmm , 10 months no update on application. All is well

Please what is the latest on the imm5257b form?

Jyde1234:

Have you been sending them email and if yes any response

Processing time for visitor visa of applicants from Nigeria is now 124 days. They keep reducing the processing time but they are not answering people. Almost everybody is now above the processing time, yet no decision. Even eligibility review has not started for most people. Why is IRCC doing like this?

Please what is the latest on the imm5257b form?

People of God please I need your urgent advise.

My husbands VV was submitted since may no response so as at now his passport remains 6months to expiry. We have gone to immigration to apply for a new one.
How do we present this when they ask for passport considering the passport number will be different.

Secondly I have a study/work permit so can I apply for his work permit from my GCKey even thou we haven't heard from them regarding the Visit visa.

Kindly assist with a response you will literally be saving a soul

Send the new passport through webform and emails. So when they request for his passport, you will send both the old passport and the new passport but they will stamp the new passport.

You don't need it if you are applying for visitor visa, you only need insurance if you are applying for super visa for them.

Noted with thanks
