For sure, MP abi MLA is next. They're the ones that used their mouths to say 30 days. False advertisement.

Ban is lifted… book your flight and run before them vex again.

19CannyMum:


The ban on fights from India was from April to September 2021. 5 months. Keep in mind that the existing vaccines are more effective against the delta variant than omicron (India was banned due to delta).

Vytalboi:
Can anyone put me through the process of getting a working visa to Canada ?? Please

some people have been separated from their spouses for extended periods and you are telling them to take it easy? people have their reasons for their actions. I see no problem in exploring loopholes in order to reunify with your family.

maziude:


Those countries go soon ban Nigeria, make una take am easy.

The ban is just temporary which will be lifted soon.

You already have your visa, why not wait till they lift the ban instead of putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

Does VFS send email updates when you send passport for visit visa? I recall when I sent my passport to Lagos VFS for PR visa, I got constant updates. However, my mums passport was sent on Friday Dec 3 and DHL confirmed delivery on Monday Dec 6 but there’s been no acknowledgement from VFS since then.

Debbieeeeeee:

Hi, I chose last option and was redirect to the new portal , I didn’t know if any new or old portal prior to this thread , I even thought that was the only portal to apply until I applied finish and came to read here and saw there was old and new portal

kpiper2473:
Please i need clarification on something. I also checked processing time and i saw 92 days. I submitted when processing time was 333 days and watched it dropped to 92 days. Is the present time frame for processing applicable to those who applied when it was 333 days coz my application would be 90 days in a couple of days. I just want to know what to expect

EverGrateful:
Hello,

Please is the new portal down?. I have been receiving error messages when trying to open the portal. Anyone having similar error message? Kindly share.

Thanks.

aloskyyoung:


Yes you can apply for VISIT VISA on the new portal.

TheExalted:
@All,

Now that Canada has banned us due to the latest variant, Omicron, what happens to visa processing?
Hope it will not affect those that have submitted passports for visa?
Can one travel to a green country for 2 weeks then proceed to Canada?

I'm puzzled.

Wifefo88:
Hello everyone congratulations to everyone that got ppr..
I'm a student I want to apply for visitors visa for my mum through the new portal and I just want to know the required documents to submit on her behalf?

Thank You.

Richdee1:


Canada is just crazy this period, a lot of factors coming in between. While they give us their timeline

People already over there can still wet our eyes, this place is dry

Things just got a little or a lot more complicated! Seems Christmas plans all gone down the drain

Rocketninja:
Hello guys
Just got ppr for trv. Submitted Oct 5, got ppr today, approximately 30 business days.
Please for those who have recently sent their passport, how do I go about submitting to vfs global Lagos? I know I have to do that through courier but what documents do I include, the mailing address too? How much does vfs charge? Do I need to include vfs consent form?
Also for my biometric confirmation slip, I got it when I captured for pr application. Am I to submit it for the trv or should I wait till I get ppr for pr?

This might have been touched upon earlier, pardon me please. Your meaningful contributions will be appreciated.

Rocketninja:


Have you tried reapplying on the new portal? You're supposed to apply again if you applied before 7th of September. Try to apply again, hopefully it'll be faster this time.

goldfinder:

Thank you.
I submitted on September 9 and it was on the old portal.

Chiazo21:
pls I need help with filling my sponsorship application. Can’t sign on a document and the national identity document is it the same with NIN details? If so , expiration date is needed and I’m lost

passionup:



For clarity sake, am I supposed to answer No as am visiting an immediate family member. Does letter of authorisation apply to this? For people who have done this , kindly respond and shed more light on this
Thanks

goldfinder:


Hi Eddy / Purplelain,
Please I just received my Passport request letter this morning with respect to my Canada Visitors visa application.
I'm planning to visit the Visa Application letter tomorrow to submit my passport.
Are you saying in-person submission is not allowed and what are the requirements to go with?

Thank you.

purplerain:
Hello,
The estimation completion date never showed, just asterisk like you mentioned. Their PPR didn't indicate a particular VO

RuggedArab:
Dear Sir/Ma,

I have a question bothering me right now. I made an application for my mom through the GCkey on 28th Oct and 24hours later she got biometric enrollment. Biometric updated 2nd Nov and I got to know now that there is a new portal site “portal” which is faster so I read here and from other forum.

I also read on the new portal that you can have GCkey profile and the portal profile too. I want to apply again through the portal for a possible quick decision.

My question is can these applications on different sites (GCkey and Portal) run simultaneously? Do I need to withdraw my application with the GCkey platform and apply through the portal or CIC will harmonize the application?

purplerain:
When you apply through the new IRCC portal they state that they will finalize applications within 14-30 business days. Both of them are fully vaccinated. I included their vaccine cards along with the application.

Yemisi2015:


Same here, did not see the option to submit a passport photograph. It was not part of my required documents to submit.

AyabaS:


Passport photograph? That wasn’t part of the required documents when I was resubmitting. I thought it was weird but since it wasn’t requested, I didn’t bother. Do I send it via webform?

Also, that 2mb limit was so restrictive plus the portal kept rejecting documents merged or compressed with websites like ilovepdf. I spent almost 6 hours adjusting and putting the documents together before it finally uploaded.

goldosa:
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THEIR WEB FORM TO SEND MESSAGE TO CIC. THANKS

Yemisi2015:


Ok thanks, just wanted to clarify as I've just spend $400 and hope we get the visa this year. Previous application is one year plus.
