DUPSYSPARKLE:
Hello everyone I’m new here and just reading through. Please I see everyone referring to a tracker is it different from the stages you see when you log into your application or there is another link to track your application

Will appreciate your feedback

Yes it’s different from ircc portal.

Jenniferade:
Good day, Please can you help with the MP contact. Thank you

The MPs I used, na Ontario and I used my spouse’s address. If your postal code doesn’t tally, they won’t help.

Mail: marco.mendicino@parl.gc.ca
Postal code: You’ve to claim an address with this postal code M6A 0A9.

Anyone that needs MPs intervention can use him. His head correct.

henricson:
No, she is in Calgary.
I am the one in Ontario. But I cannot reach out to my MP as I was not the one who invited her.

She should try other MPs then.

inHisheart:
Thank you sooo much my people, I appreciate 🙏Honestly, I am still in shock. DYI, first time applicant and no travel history.
@Emmafe I noticed eligibility started immediately for my son should I be expecting his soon?

Yes by God’s grace. Give them a week before you start sending msg. Let them know you’ve made arrangements and can’t leave your son behind.

Jumms442:
congratulations woow 🎉🎉, let’s wait it out

It’s dropping soon

inHisheart:
My timeline

This ppl ain’t predictable, that’s why those without bvl yet shouldn’t panic. It’s possible bvl n ppr drops the same time. Just keep the faith alive.

inHisheart:
PPR is here!!! Omoooooooo💃💃
I'm screaminggggg... Thank God! Thank you guys!
For those still waiting, you will rejoice soon. It will end in Praise🙏

NB: I no think say I go fit work today oo😂😂 happiness wan finish me.

Congratulation! It’s raining ppr, everyone waiting don’t worry, it’s going round this week. Amen!

henricson:
Thank you for your response, I will ask my sister to send emails to the Nairobi, London, Lagos and Abuja.
And I will also send webforms as well.

My younger sister had tried to reach out to her MP, but she said that the processing time for Nigeria was 700+ days and there was nothing she could do.

Reach out to another MP, she should just claim another address. Is she in Ontario?

henricson:
Hello Everyone.

Please I need your advice based on your various experiences presently.
I helped my sister apply for a visitor's visa on September 25, 2022, my younger sister and the husband are the ones who invited her, and she was supposed to visit between Nov. 2022 - Mar. 2023. But we have updated her visit schedule to between Jul. - Sept. 2023 since the earlier timeline is past.

Also, I applied for GCMS notes on Mar. 2, 2023, and got it on Apr. 1, 2023. But the were no entries entered yet. However, I just applied again today being May 23, 2023 to view the status since 2 other people I applied for in Oct. 2022 have received their approvals this May 2023.
I decided to come to Nairaland as this site was super helpful when I applied for my study permit in 2018, and so far I have seen some things new to me.

I notice people mentioning receiving a BVL after application. Please what is a BVL and its significance? I am assuming it is Biometric Validation Letter? Based on the tracker, I see only biometric has been completed, background check is still on going, and eligibility is not started yet.
Lastly, from the GCMS notes I received in April 2023, I see that Nairobi is the Primary Visa Office and London is the Secondary Visa Office for my sister's application.
Considering that the application progress timeline is 8 months now, is it okay to send an email? I see negative feedbacks on sending emails to the Nairobi Office. Is it advisable to send to the Lagos or Abuja office then?

NB: My sister has an initial refusal in Feb. 2022, and a US visitor's visa refusal in 2017. I was assuming this could cause delays due to background checks via the 5 eyes (USA, UK, New Zealand, Australia & Canada).

Kindly share your thoughts, this will be very much appreciated.

Your younger sister should reach out to MP to help her follow up the application. Also send mails and Webform to Nairobi, London, lagos and Abuja. The refusal isn’t the issue, I also had USA refusal in 2016. It will end in praise.

Succeed04:
This is so tiring, Application since 2020.
No BVL Yet
Eligibility completed
Biometric completed
Background check in progress. Since last updated April 19.

Someone we applied together already have her passport stamped.

God go do m, just keep sending mails and Webform. I’ve seen ppl receive bvl n ppr same time.

goldenedem:
Good morning all
Please I need help and suggestions
My husband sent his passport and our child’s passport via dhl to vfs for visa issuance .
We tracked today and saw that the courier was rejected
Please what could be the problem and what can we do ?
Please help

Probably a document was missing or he didn’t pay the necessary fee. I can see he sent it to Abuja, did he capture his biometrics in Abuja or lagos? If it was lagos, did he pay transmission fee? If yes, then confirm from the documents below if he included all.

Documents:
-2 duly signed consent forms.
-2 copies of passport data page
-Passport Request Letter
-Yellow / white sticker biometric slip
-Receipt of payment of transmission fee
N9,410 (you will pay this fee if you didn't capture biometrics at Abuja VFS)

You can still write just don’t sound desperate. Something like the delay in ppr is affecting your decision making, you’ll like to plan yourself etc…

PPR soon by God’s grace. Amen!

Nothing outside what was filled in the application. It’s ntn serious.

For document int’l passport n letter of entry ( if applicable) should be handy.

seyijohnkel:
,,, please how can I request for it

It’s on the login portal. Do forgot password. Since you’re the mail, link to reset will be sent to ur mail.

XYZJAZZY:
Good evening house, please I need you guys to help me with email of VO to contact them to update my tracking platform so that I will be able to access the tracker and get info about my application status.

East time to try register track it says my information may not have been entered into the system and it may take some times for it to be put into the system and when it's entered I will be able to register.

Since 29th April I received BVL I don't know if my application status if approved and visa number updated. This is really frustrating mehn.

I need the gurus advice please and email contact to reach out to them for updates.

Thanks in advance

Instead of asking for tracker, send mail for final decision. I’m sure it’s ppr, if na refusal, it would have dropped since. They’re fast to refuse application, na ppr dy delay.

Getting back the processed envelope has been another long wait... Vfs global are now doing their own to frustrate people into paying for their high-priced courier service regardless your location.

How can a processed envelope be on transit (from Abuja to Lagos) for 6 day now. VFs global are just adamant to update their tracker to show the actual location.

VFs global is a problem now. It's getting out of hand.

I don’t understand why they stopped dhl n ups 2 way delivery service. All na to chop money, God knows I won’t pay that 18,500, na pickup I go do.

Hello house, I just discovered this wonderful forum and it has been super helpful!! So my family and I applied for Canada visitor visa since October and recieved our bvl on 19th May within few hours our visitor visa document number, expiry date, issuing country etc was updated. I have been seeing people who got bvl send the email for ppr should I send on Tuesday or should we wait? Also how do I send for a family of 4 (we are adults)? Please any response will be deeply appreciated.

You can start sending them mails and Webform. When it’s time to send your passport, since you’re all adults, I think it’s better to send separately. If you’ll bare same surname, you can still choose to use send together, I don’t think that should be an issue if all documents are complete.

Thank you guys!

PPR fall on everyone still waiting by God’s grace!

Thanks to everyone for the love and wishes. To everyone still waiting God will answer speedily.

Timeline
Applied: October 2
Biometrics Request: October 2
Biometrics Passed: October 14
BVL: April 29
Visa document updated: May 1 (I booked my flight that night)
PPR: May 22 (3:40pm)

I sent an emotional message to Lagos and Abuja (Nairobi warned me to stop sending mail ) yesterday night and this morning.

The emotional message sample, try to edit.

Template below, try to edit it.

Dear Visa Officer,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is ***, I am contacting you with regards to my Temporary Resident Visa Application.

It’s been 10 months since my wife left Nigeria to pursue a graduate certificate in Canada. Due to the distance and delay on my application, we’ve missed many beautiful moments to celebrate together as a family. The effect is taking a toll on our mental and emotional health, everyday day that passes by, we’re always hoping and looking forward to a day we’ll be in each other’s arms again.

I got biometrics verification letter on *** without a decision which is strange. For over 3 weeks we keep hoping for a decision on my application, we’re emotionally drained.

I kindly request your understanding and compassion in considering my visa application. Approving it would not only fulfill my dream of being with my wife but also showcase the significance of empathy in the visa process.

Your positive response would greatly alleviate my distress and bring back the fading joy in my life. Thank you for your attention, and I eagerly await your favorable decision.

Jumms442:

I tire, family application should be priority. Maybe distance relationship is norm to them.

Benwems:
Does Canada study visa now take only one month to come out? I thought it’s 3-4 months.

Its now really fast, applications is now process in Ottawa not Nairobi. I’ve seen 1wk n 2weeks sef

Truth2024:
Wetin Visitor’s Visa applicant do Canada?Student visa max 1 month visa Don show,we we go wait months,some 1 year,some 2,and still when we enter them go time us to leave, Student visa na him Sure pass I tell u.

I wished I listened to my spouse and applied for Sowp along with visit. I was reluctant because eligibility already started on visit application, I didn’t know they’ll still stress person after bvl.

My file was sent to lagos march 29, lagos used 1 month to send bvl (April 29). It’s over 3 weeks now no decision yet.

Shamaaa:
BVL dropped since 4th of April... Still waiting too.

That’s a long time, this people just like unnecessary stress and headache. Hope you’re already bombarding their papa with mails and Webform?

Bmuhd4smile:
Hi guys! Please I need advice regarding Canada visit visa application.

Let say for example, I have like 4.5m for account then I transfered 2m out a month to when I intend to submit my application. Do I need to explain reason why I transfer out for example the 2m out. Even though I am only declaring 2.5m as the money I have for the visiting.

No, since your pof is intact.
