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.

Wifefo88:
Let’s hope they will start attending to us soon ijn.

Amen

Wifefo88:
Really it doesn’t make sense anymore..I applied for my mother and no update till now.

They are just doing anyhow. Most people have been waiting for their reply for more than 4 months now. It's getting annoying.

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?

olutoyiin:
*Congrats Sis

Absolutely correct!!!!. I mailed them countless times some people said its a technical glitch but then I continued to send my yellow slip and Biometrics letter till it changed to completed

Okay. Thank you.
Please, don't be offended that I got your gender wrong.

I thank God who made it possible and for all those still expecting you shall testify so. For me the journey still continues as I will be applying for my spouse and kids……….

Thanks all.

P.s I edited Olokings Testimonial

Congrats bro.

Please when you said you were sending emails and webforms requesting to update your biometrics, are you saying your biometrics number and validity is showing but under the biometrics, it's showing they need your biometrics instead of showing biometrics completed on so so date?

Eazyfella:
My later of invitation carries 'visiting June", now that the month has been exceeded do I need a rewrite (update to December) or bo need

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.

IRCC is brutal. My friend was rejected this morning, that's exactly two weeks after submitting his application and one week after biometrics. I couldn't believe it when he called me few minutes ago to tell me about the sad news because it was too fast. At first, I was like do they even check the application at all. How can you reject someone exactly 14 days after submitting his application.
I don't know IRCC can actually reject an applicant from Nigeria within two weeks but they can't approve applicants from Nigeria within two weeks.

Anyway, it seems most people are now getting rejected based on financial reasons. Please, if you are going for a 2yr course. Just make sure that all the money is readily available in your statement of account. I don't think IRCC is considering one year POF again. You will notice the trend if you follow the rejection on this forum recently. If your 2yrs course will cost you $50k in total and you provided $40k which is more than enough for the first year only, there's 90% chance that they will reject the application. That's what I noticed now.

Eazyfella:
So what should we do now,

No choice than to wait. Even though it's frustrating and annoying.

livviee:
Hello all. Thought to share. My mum’s visa has finally been approved today. Application submitted 09/06/2022. It will surely go round for all.

Congrats. Please, shey na visitor visa and is she the only applicant?

olokings:

however here goes...

find attached files for your utility.

reference my earlier posts for further details.

You are really doing a great work here my brother. May God continue to bless you.

Eazyfella:
I applied for Visitor visa (Invited by a family friend), did my Biometrics 17th march and still no response. I don't know if it is normal or I need to contact them

It has been stagnant for almost everybody. Visitor visa is something else now.

Thank you

ednut1:
can stay up to 5 years .

Wow. Thanks. But after the 5yrs, will they apply for another super visa if they still wish to stay in Canada?

Who else noticed that the processing time is now 132 days?

Hopefully, maybe most of us will get our positive decision this month by God's grace.

Peaceful004:
8000 CAD and her duration of stay was 6 months. We already mentioned she will be staying in our home, so açcomodation was like free. So obviously 8k for 6 months was more than enough. There is a place they usually ask how much applicant has for the trip.
However our combined statement of account was about 20k CAD. But I have seen people who had 10k balance and their parent got it.
Please if you re applying for normal visiting visa for your parents, don't fill in 6 months as duration of stay biko. It was because this was a super visa that was why the 6 months duration of stay didn't pose issues.

Please, I think with super visa, ones parents can stay in Canada as long as they want or is that not so?

Peaceful004:
Thanks everyone. I have PR and invited my parent. First application was July last year but.no update on it until Aril 2022. Normal Visiting Visa

New application: April 10 2022
New portal
Super Visa
Medicals passed.....April 25
Loooooooooong Silence.

Then there was ADR on her old application to be submitted by 8th of October
The ADR was one form Schedule 1 IMM5 something. I have forgotten.

Biometric validation letter and PPR....SEPT 29th.
PPR appeared on the new portal. BVL appeared on both new and old but the PPR she got was for Super Visa.
Documents submitted
Her passport
Medical insurance for 1 year...very compulsory for Super visa
POF was 100 percent from us, she is retired
Letter of invitation from my spouse and I stating we ll be responsible for her for her stay in Canada
Our Paystubs and Employment letter
Our Notice of Assessment for last year.
If you re PR and want to do super visa for your parent, ensure your family income meets the LICO for your family size plus the person you re inviting.

God will grant those still awaiting their PPR.

P.S : Is passport photograph no longer required when submitting passport. Biko, I remember we submitted passport photo or is it not needed for Visiting visa. Thanks a lot

Please, if you don't mind, how much POF did you submitted?

Peaceful004:
Hello people the eagle has landed o. I have been a silent observer. Coming back to share update but please what's the latest way of sending passport for stamping. Is it still through DHL or can it be taken to VFS office?

Please, when did you apply for the visa and is it visitor visa?

Dareng:
Yes, I applied to some links I got via Instagram for anyone interested in Canadian PR few weeks ago.

It's a pure scam. Runnnnnnnnnn

skentelelady:
God bless you. I said this yesterday. Someone said no one owes anyone anything. We are here to learn. Some are reading and aspiring applicants.

Tell us what you to get PPR and what you did tonget refusal. I think all these itkis ppr claiming silent readers are never members here. They are from their agents group. When ppr drops they come here to praise the agent so people will contact him or her

I am not against this. I joined this thread from page 1. I have read and learnt alot. I have been talking to very good people here. I hope to apply very soon. I am still here learning from mistakes and success of people
I think this is what this group should be about.

It will be a success whenever you submit your application by the grace of God

7COLOURS:
Nice contribution, thanks alot.

I wish you a favorable response from IRCC soonest.

Amen and you too

Congrats and thank you for this.

Anybody wey get PPR should at least state the documents they submitted.

Please, I want to say something. Please, don't attack me o. I think we are gaining little/nothing from this thread now. People will get PPR and the only thing they will write is it's PPR guys and then put the date they applied, did their biometrics, medicals, the day eligibility review started, etc. The truth is all those are useless. Totally useless, at least to me, I don't know about others. I don't care about the date you did all those, all I care about is how you do it, the documents you submitted, the steps you took when it's getting delayed, how you package your application, etc. Let's stop all this date stuff, nobody is learning anything from it. By the grace of God, when my PPR dropped, I will write everything in details including webforms I sent and what it entails. That's the only way someone with similar profile will know what exactly to do.
I beg of you, let us change and start dropping something meaningful when we receive our PPR. This place is not for show off, we are here to learn. Biko, let's work on that. Thank you

ednut1:
gcms for application they haven’t worked on is a waste of time and money

Actually, nobody among us can say for sure that they haven't touch it at all.

Makibarbie:
This is really unfair.
They can’t continue to make people wait this long.
I am hoping by next month, we should start getting a response from them
I sent a mail n the response i got was that my application is in queue and they can’t guarantee when the visa will be processed.

Has anyone gotten any feedback for theirs?

I think it will be better if people start ordering for their GCMS notes.

socially4fun:
I plan on applying through NSE, and an upfront medicals is part of the requirement.

There's nothing like NSE again with Naija application. Even if you submit everything, it will still be processed like others. So don't bother wasting your time.

socially4fun:
Hello everyone.

I have a Q Life Lagos medical appointment for October 12th. I need to do it earlier. I am not sure, but if it is possible, I would like to swap with someone with an earlier date. I just got admission for January and I'm a bit behind schedule. Thank you.

Submit your application if every other things are ready and send your e medical slip through webform after doing your medical in October.

Thank you so much

You can't order directly. Only Canadian citizens and PR holders can place a request. That's why people use third party websites.

Yes, I know. The person that wants to request for it is a Canadian citizen. That's why I need the official website. If you know it, kindly tell me please. I don't need a third party website.

Please, someone should help me with the official IRCC website where someone can order for GCMS note. I'm not talking about third party website. I mean the official IRCC website where the GCMS note is ordered from.
Please, biko, someone should respond. It's urgent.

CharitoJames:
New week, we move… Lots of PPR tomorrow… Are you ready to carry your evidence? Because i am ready to carry mine.

That's the spirit. Everything will end well for us. I believe
