Hey, thanks , see this.
I think this also works for all other categories. Have a look at this and advice.

from the part of expiring passport found here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/apply-permanent-residence/scan-upload-documents.html

Kindly advice on wat u think.

PS..

The image you showed me is the same from what I saw in my checklist as well. Positive i should find the fees and submit ASAP.

I think PR application is different from visit application. If you check under visit der’s no clause. You can apply, update when you’ve the new passport.

Others with experience should pls contribute

gimakon2:
Really? They in the same shoes as i am now? And they submitted and did the webform thing? You know the passport remains 4 months to expire like i said.

From the document details there’s no passport validity. Try to fill the questionnaire, on the document page, click passport to see if there’s a clause.

gimakon2:
Oh you have witnessed the same? Kindly let me know. I have the arguement and its giving me a serious running stomach.
I just needed to be sure.

To apply for visa I think your passport must have 6 months validity. I want to try and confirm online

gimakon2:
I have a Second question I want to ask. While my passport is supposed to undergo renewals, i have 4 months left on this passport. Can I use this to submit for visa application to CIC online, while i follow up on the renewals?
Please advise.

Yes, send mail and Webform to update when you’ve a new one.

Please can you check if the bvl is address to Lagos?

Is there any 2020-2022 applicant yet to receive bvl? I’ve not bn seeing bvl update recently.

Baddestmaks:
Any response to my above ☝️ question will be very much appreciated 🙏

Send mails and Webform until it’s updated.

zeb04:
Hello guys since April 17 background verification in progress eligibility has not started , medical has not started but my tracker has been updated twice.

What is going on please

Background verification is always like that until your passport is stamped. When ppr drops, background check is still on going. For visit visa you don’t need medical.

Have you received bvl?

paragon4b:
Thank You @samplay1, Thanks so much.

I eventually sent an email to the link given in the refusal letter and they responded just an hour latter.
And they expressly mentioned that they applied charge back on the application as you have mentioned.

The application was done for them by an agent. How should an agent that was paid for his job apply a CHARGEBACK ?

PLEASE CAN THIS CHARGEBACK BE THE MAIN REASON THE VISA APPLICATION WAS DENIED ?

We have starte

The chargeback was the reason for the refusal as clearly stated on the refusal note. Some agent are just evil.

Estherokitikpi1:

Good day great people,

Please a friend of my got a refusal letter for Visiting Visa He and his family did in 2020, but the most confusing statement/comment written on it states:

"Your application indicates that you have a debt to the crown"

We don't understand what this really mean because he has never lived in Canada and that was his first application for him and his family.

Please anyone with this experience should help me interprete it and the implications, if any.

It’s about application fee. Either a fraudulent card was used, or the payment didn’t go through.

Cyclops33:
5M he said , thanks for the answer.

That’s much o. You can do it yourself, 5M is even enough for POF. I don’t see why you need an agent.

Cyclops33:
Hi Good people, please I need some clarification, A relative applied for a visit visa for Canada via an agent and the visa processing took less than 3 months till visa is out, I know Canada delays a lot so out of curiosity I asked if they took his fingerprint and he said No because he previously applied before and got a refusal so finger print wasn’t needed. I know for Uk and other countries fingerprints are taken every time you apply even if it’s immediately after the refusal. Experienced people do Canada ignore to take fingerprints if reapplying? Also is is possible to get VV in less than 3 months ? He is convincing my cousin to do same and I just tot something isn’t right, I know the minimum processing time is 1 year + even on Canada website it says 785 days.

Biometrics expires after 10years. Applicants won’t need to redo biometrics for any application within that period.

Also 3 months duration is possible, I’ve seen 1 month duration. Ircc isn’t predictable. While some applicant since 2020 are still waiting, some 2023 applicants have received ppr.

Succeed04:
Are these people IRCC on Leave or holiday?

For about couple of weeks now we've not been hearing news about approval and PPR .

They’re working o, study visa drops like water. Visitor application isn’t given priority.

Let keep sending mails and Webform. I don’t know if it works at this stage but I will keep sending.

Jumms442:
too stressful, at this point I’m drained, emmafe I’ll b back wen I get my ppr mail or do let me knw wen you get yours , this is exhausting

The Lord is your strength. I was also down last week, just continue to make travel preparations.

Aquila192:
Any idea how soon it should be returned to VFS from the Embassy?

From submission to delivery 1-2wks.

oluayebenz:
Canadian government should better send all IRCC VO to the UK for proper training by the UKVI officer's.

They handled applications like novice.

Imagine applications from 2020 is still pending while UKVI already finalize all visit visa application they received on April 3rd.

What is difficult for IRCC to make a decision once and for all?

Even US VO make a decision in 5mins

That’s the only downside about the country, der visa application is too stressful.

Aquila192:
Hey Guys, What's going on with VFS Abuja? I submitted my passport on Friday morning last week and there is no confirmation or tracking ID to date. Is anyone in my shoes?

You should get a mail tomorrow or Thursday

Teekay20:
Thank you so much. We just got a medical request mail for the SOWP. Although he already did it last Friday, I guess IOM is yet to send them the results. Please should we hold on about sending the passport for the visitor visa for stamping or go ahead? I don’t know if they can stamp twice.

What’s the probability that ircc will issue ppr for the Sowp before 30days validity to submit passport for visit visa stamping? You can wait for like 20-25 days, if nothing submit. When sowp own drops, you resubmit.

gr8femfred:
How much is the minimum balance I should have in my bank account for visiting ?

No specific amount, just make sure you’ve more than enough. In my case, estimated expenses was 4k, I used 10k as pof. Official rate is 340 cad to 1 Naira.

Amy66666777:
Good morning everyone

After DHL delivered my package to VFS, please how long will it take before I get email from VFS that my passport has been received?

Probably 2-3days

chiomapx:
It's 32 days after my BVL dropped...... Still waiting for PPR

Na to start disturbing them with mails and Webform.

Baddestmaks:
But if she claims missing passport, she will have to make name change on her NIN correct?

That’s if she’s changing name.

Zirconia16:
Thank you. Omo wetin I go give as explanation? My main reason was to gain a longer visa validity as they were wasting time. Dunno if that is convincing enough.

Claim missing passport then.

Jumms442:
amen, these people should please already

This week won’t pass us by.
