Nice move Mr. Governor

Ruben225571:



I am tired as well. Since January 15 till date.

I am not sure I will try paper route with this people again. As if the visa will admit person to Heaven.
I had valid UK, USA and Schengen visas on my passport. Yet, it's taking these guys a year to process a visiting visa.
Highly unfortunate

Hi everyone, I just tracked my parents in-law passports and they are ready for pick-up, is there any process for pickup due to COVID-19 or they can just walk in

Call VFS to arrange for Courier delivery. No physical pick up of passport

Bukieinyang:
Hello all, please which is better? Paper route or online route for TRV application? Thank you.

Online route for now. They are not even accepting paper application

Dreamchaser12:


Yeah sent web form twice, called the Canadian embassy at Abuja, I was told my application is being processed at Nairobi, I was given an email address to lay a complain, they replied my webform inquiry that my application is still processing.
I just commot mind since then. Que sera sera

Can you please help me with Abuja Embassy phone number. That of Lagos is not connecting. I am not happy with those guys at all

Anndav:
Wao....God will create a way out... honestly there should be something you can do when I was despite last month The VFS office said the only option is to terminate the process....but even if it is terminated what is the assurance that the passport will be pass back fast ...the only wise solution is to pray and raise a webform pleading, also attach your flight booking and others as evidence of urgency because terminating after all the waiting is a choice I will like you to make ... another thing is if u have someone in Canada to request for your GCMS notes from there it takes about 15 days that will give you a clear picture of what is happening....

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I have reviewed all options available to me, cancelling the application will be unwise as you have also pointed out after 8 months of waiting. It is well jare. That's why online application is better sometimes, at least, I will have my passport with me

Anndav:
Sorry....I was also frustrated until I called them at VFS today and I was told my passport has been returned back to them... maybe you should call VFS ...if nothing raise a webform.... maybe it will help ...I truly understand ur frustration

I have raised a Web form. I am still waiting for their response.
I chatted with vfs today, same story. The painful thing is that I have bought a ticket to travel to Europe in May but because of Covid-19, I couldn't make it. Now I want to travel next month because my Schengen visa expires in November.

sugah:

Considering some of us have application pending since February, the timing seems right

This is really frustrating. I applied on the 30th of January.
I am not happy with these guys at all. No other country delays visa application like Canada. Haba

Mattinno:
Hello admin !!!I will be so grateful if you can help me out ..I have a my job here in Nigeria and I have some reasonable money in my account and I will like to apply for a tourist Visa to Canada. I dont know my chances ..I will be glad if you can help me out

Take time to read through the thread from page 1. You have a lot to learn

Has anyone that applied through paper application route in January or February gotten a decision recently? I am tired of waiting since January 30th.
I have an unused 1 yr Schengen visa that will expire in November on my passport. I don't want that visa to waste ooo.
Is there anyway I can request for speedy consideration of my application?

P4perissos:
Please is it too late to apply for a visa. I’m 7 months pregnant. Corona didn’t allow me apply earlier. Would I still be granted?
Thank you

If it's for birthing, it's too late. I applied since 30th of January, I am still waiting for feedback

It is well. I wish all applicants favourable outcomes.
I think UK application process is better.
What would I say? Application for visiting visa submitted since 30th of January, 2020. Till date, still under processing. Canada get wahala no be small. You guys should "calm down and sit like this...�".
Na calm down mode I dey since.

chacha214:
please house, am new here and i want to find out if i apply for visit visa and get it can i convert it to student visa when i get to canada ?

No. You have to apply for student Visa from onset. You will be advised to go back to your country to apply for a student visa

Has anyone received his or her passport from VFS in the recent time? Paper application since 30th of January.

cutelass:


I applied online Mid-February, did biometric same mid-February.
Refusal mail: Last week
Reason: I'm not convinced you'll leave canada at the end of your visit based on purpose of visit

Applied to visit my cousin: it was supposed to be combined with my trip to the U.S.

Pls who knows how I can order gcms notes?

I applied via paper route on 30th of January, 2020. I linked my application online in April. Till date, no update.
Did VFS call you to deliver your passport?

Important information
04 August 2020
The Canada VAC in "Lagos" is closed to the public, but will provide passport return services via courier only with effect from 20th July 2020 (Monday & Wednesday from 9:00 to 15:00). A VAC representative will contact applicants whose passports are ready to be returned and will provide further details regarding how passports will be returned to applicants via the courier service provided by the VAC.

Has anyone been contacted by VFS? I submitted paper application on January 30th. No information yet about my application?

i actually apply Feb 25 ,2020. And I receive the mail March 6 , 2020 Before the Covid 19 lockdown imposed across the federation and please I’m totally chaos in need of your advice. Thank you sir

That's less than a week to decide on your application. Or did you mean to type June 6, 2020. Strange! I actually applied on January 30th, 2020 through paper route. Till date, no information.

Submitted January 30th.

Hello to y’all! I applied for an Irish tourist visa for the purpose of traveling on April 10 for Easter,but till now my application is not yet out. I am very concerned about this and someone introduced me to this forum that it is the best in getting an accurate answer and it is a follow guide. Will the COVID-19 make me to get a refusal? Or has anyone been refused based on COVID-19 reasons?? Please come to my aid,I need your replies

Search for Ireland travel visa thread on Nairaland. This thread is for Canadian visitors visa applicants

Here is the transcript of my visa interview yesterday.
VO: Good morning. Your passport please.
Me: Good morning.
VO: Where are you going to?
Me: Rhode Island.
VO: why do people cause gbasgbos on USA Non immigrant visa thread on Nairaland?
Me: I tire too ooo
VO: do you want me to approve your visa?
Me: yes sir.
VO: Go and appeal to members on that thread to stop derailing the purpose for which the thread was created and allow people with genuine intention to learn how to make great application and have a successful interview.
Me: consider it done sir.
Me: Run to nairaland to beg on my knees to appeal to everyone to please stop the gbosgbas.
Me: run back to VO. Sir, there's peace now in the house.
VO: Visa approved. Don't bother to pay the reciprocity fee. Just drop your passport. Enjoy your stay in the US.
Me: smile and thank the VO. Left dancing azonto as I walk through the door.

That's on a lighter mood.
I actually got my visa in January and I have since shared my transcript here. Please let's allow people to learn what they are here for. Share real knowledge if you know anything that can help.
I love you all.

Hello our gurus, God's blessings
Pls my friend is trying to apply Canadian visa, shes been denied US visa, is it ok to include that she was denied in the Canadian visa application where they ask "have you been previously denied a visa in canada or any other country?"
Your reply will be helpful
God bless you all

She should declare. They have access to US database. No need telling lies

Good day Gurus in the house, I am unable to get free appointment date for assisted self service in Ikeja. Can I change my submission center to Victoria Island? If possible, how do I go about it. Travel date is April 9th.
Also, is there any email or phone number through which TLS can be contacted?
Please help biko

YesLadyN:


I thought ircc normally sends a mail showing their decision before passport pickup request.

That was the case with my friend on Friday. He got a mail that his application has been refused. He's yet to receive passport pick up message from vfs.
I don't know if it's a standard procedure.
Gurus in the house can enlighten us

TimTim01:
I received mail yesterday from Canadian embassy that my processed passport is ready for collection. what doe's that mean

When did you submit?
It means you can come and pick it up. Thereafter, you will see the decision, whether positive or negative. I pray you share good news with us.

My friend that applied on the 5th of February got a letter today from Canadian Embassy in Nairobi that his application is refused based on his ties to Canada and Nigeria. He did paper application in Naija.
That's super fast if you ask me.
He has no travel history but works with a reputable company with good pay.

bigbus:


Did he apply for a UK visa? Just wondering how come he is getting a reply from the Canadian Embassy in Nairobi? Plus he applied in Naija? Ties to Canada, reply from Nairobi, when he has no travel history. Seems to be a mix-up or SPAM mail.

Mixed up. Wanted to post it on Canadian visa thread

Ok

opomulero:
