New portal. Applied May 18 2023. Got PPR May 26. The conference organiser wrote to the Deputy Canadian High Commiission and all so maybe that's why it was fast. But out of 8 of us, only 3 in Abuja have visas . The rest of us in the center of excellence are still waiting

Can you share the documents you included in your application

Please if the mods and major contributors can look into this.

I think if possible the first post of the first page of this thread should have some information pinned that can help new people as its not easy to go through 700 pages. Information like the new portal , old portal, whether to submit passport at Abuja vfs or lagos vfs. Which emails addresses one can use to send complaints, use of webforms and how to track applications and maybe abbreviations and other general related information . It can be updated from time to time . This will help people to have a glance of the process based on all of our experiences instead of going through 700 pages . Thanks

Before the employment offer from the employer?
Didn’t u have any interview with the employer?
Is the agent a licensed immigration consultant for IRCC?

At times LMIA can take lots of time especially when you’re outside Canada 🇨🇦

I’ll suggest, you research broadly on the employer via google search their company etc
Or, you confront the agent to give you details about the application after all you’re paying for his/her services

Okay,,,I'll definitely do this

I didn't submit statement. My company is a government organisation so they didn't also submit statement. Just a letter

Please do you have any travel experience before now? I heard its not advisable applying for canada tourist visa without previous travel experience.

Hello. Are you saying passports taken to Abj from Lagos on Friday May 26 are already back to Lagos by yesterday June 2, 2023? Thanks for clarification.

Oops, so sorry to hear that especially the time put in to prepare for presentation.
Lyoncrescent:


Thanks for this information. It's a big lesson cos I only need the visa for the conference and nothing else. Conference is 5 days and starts this monday. No plans to japa . Whenever they are done they should sha return the passport. Its just painful as my organisation would have given me a nice travel allowance . Na that one dey pain me and also the papers I had to present at the conference will now be presented by someone else. Its all good. How I wish VFS can make this your explanation above known to people so they can now choose where to submit.

Application /Biometric Collection Letter May 18

BVL and PPR May 26

If I knew what you just posted above I won't have
Submitted to Lagos VFS May 29. Even if I have to fly to Abuja to submit , it would have been better

Yes I do have travel experience but 2 people with no travel experience in my group were given visas. Just to add, I have been rejected visa twice by UK and USA which I wrote in my Canadian application and I still got a Passport Request.

Kindly assist if you can🙏
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Detty16: 8:05pm On Jun 03, 2023
I applied last year, precisely 1st June my biometric showed that its been updated on my tracker.
I got request to submit visa 1st June 2023, maybe not a waste of time afterall.
Sundayolayemi:
Looks like tourist visa is just a waste of time. They don't treat it as urgent as other visas. Please has anyone who applied for Tourist Visa since 2021 received PPR yet?

When you input the surname, try using either the first name alone or first name and middle name. That was the issue I had with mine.
Eventually, it turns out my account had only my first and last name but my BVL has my full names though I didn’t bother much.

I don't think tis is true. See my last note on a related question based on the webform auto response email.

Ashirioluwa:


Yes, you can.

You can add documents you think will help your application anytime through the webform before the application is processed.


Newbiein2016:
No. Completely withdraw and resubmit a new application to avoid any risk (no matter how low) of refusal.

A couple pages ago, a user was refused even after sending a mail minutes after submitting the application.

Furthermore, see this section of the webform autoresponse which should guide your next action;

For temporary resident applications, we do not accept documents sent by email if you have applied online. The email and the document sent will not be added to your application for consideration when assessing your application:

Unsolicited document submission: all relevant documents must have been submitted at the time of your application.
Requested document submission (online): please submit the requested document via your MyGCKey account by following the instructions noted in the request letter

It worked for me in the past. I filled out my wife's visa application, but I didn't declare her past visa refusal for the US.

Later, I wrote them a letter of apology and explained to them that I forgot to declare this refusal.

About a month later, they acknowledged receiving the webform and the uploaded document.

Her visa was approved.
