It is possible that your payment for the visa fee was declined or suspicious. The best thing to do at the moment is to apply for the GCMS note so that you can address it properly in your next application.

tabidemi:
good afternoon everybody, i got a refusal message today but i don't seems to understand it, can you enlighten on it pls.

Lan444:

Thank you . The person used Egypt air right ?
Can you help me ask the person the documents they asked for

Obviously not Egyptair. Egyptair only transit Cairo! I have posted email from Egyptair on travel date restrictions. I am sure you saw it.

herbDean101:
Hello all,
If you have a family application for visitor visa. Can you send all the passports and documents for the visa stamping to the Abuja VAC, in one envelope or you have to do it separately. I also have the same question for the package transmission fee of 9,930, is that for each idividual or one payment for everybody?

You can send all in one package, but you must pay the transmission fee for each passport. I hope this helps.

aydupy:


Hello my husband too just got his ppr for visitors visa since 2022 Feb that he applied but the passport will expire July ending. He has already renewed his passport can we send the new passport instead pls I need advice. Thankyou

Yes. Make a simple letter giving the reason you renewed your passport and submit only the new passport with the letter of explanation. Also, send a copy of the letter and the new passport to IRCC via webform for their update. Good luck!

Lan444:
Hello house I have a Canadian student visa but I Booked my Egypt air flight for July 7th and my program is starting September would Egypt air allow me fly ?

Egypt Air has no restrictions on travel dates, provided you have all the required documents regarding your studies. Your payment receipts is very important, including your LOA, LOI, LOE and POF. Again, you must show your ticket confirmation to your final destination if Toronto is not your last stop.

Hectorsoboy:
My wife has new passport which is not the one she used for the application. Please should we just submit the new passport with the old one or just the new one? Note that decision was on the old passport. How do we get them to use the new passport?

Submit only the new passport. Then write a simple letter explaining why the passport has changed. That is, give reason why you have to renew your passport. Attach the letter to the new passport during submission and also send a copy of the new passport and letter to IRCC via webform. Good luck!

MyGodisAwesome:
Hello everyone, please I have a question.

I submitted VV application for my parents and sibling yesterday June 19th

I got biometrics request letter for my mum and sibling immediately but none for my dad.

My dad is the primary applicant and has an existing biometric that is still valid till 2026. While filing my dad's application I paid for a new biometric so that his visa will be valid till the expiry of his passport i.e 2033

My question is what do I do about my dad's biometric letter that is yet to be received? I tried uploading the receipts via his portal but it's greyed out. Is it too early to send a web form about this?

Also, I tried creating a tracker account so I could track the progress of their application but I keep getting an error even though all necessary informations were entered correctly. Do I need to wait for a few days to create a tracker? Thanks

Send webform regarding the Biometrics to IRCC.

LollyPo:


Oh lord! So any advice on what to reply ?

You really need to be careful with your response to them, and I hope he was not given a Ban by the UK embassy.

Meanwhile, you could say it was an oversight not to have mentioned it. You actually thought the question was for Canada's refusal alone. And apologise to them for that. But if your husband was given a ban and you didn't explain the reason for it (because they must have seen it), and tell them if the issue was resolved or not, then it's another chapter of Ban by IRCC. The UK, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand share a common database; hence you must not tell a verifiable lie or misrepresentation. The listed countries are called "The Five Eyes".

anselmvictor:
Ah, I see. Many thanks for this! I have recently renewed my passport to 10 years validity since 2 months ago, and just last week, I sent them a webform with a scanned copy of my new passport stating the old one expires in Sept so I got a new one. Maybe any need to send another webform to reiterate that?

I believe I should be excepting a PPR soon? (really don't know what PPR means but I see from the thread that it refers to the temporary residence visa?)

Also, once I receive the request to submit my passport, should I submit both old and new passports and maybe with a letter? would be good to know if this is what people in similar situation do. Thanks again!

PPR means Passport Request. Meanwhile, you don't need to submit the old passport alongside the new one. Just submit only the new one with a Letter of Explanation. I will advise you also send the Letter of Explanation via webform too.

Gentlesoul3268:
I'm waiting PPR to drop for my visitor visa since 2021, gotten Bvl on April 29 2023 and visa number on tracker since May1 2023.

Now I wanted to submit application for my study permit this month, I hope it won't affect my visitor application? Can I apply with the same portal I used for my visitor visa or can I open another email and new portal?

Lastly is it the same UCI I used for visitor application that I will use for study permit?

Please advise me !!!! big bro & and big sis in the house

You can use same portal to apply for your Study Permit. You do not need to create a different account with another email.

You can quote same UCI when required. It's unique!

LollyPo:


No, he didnt to the best of my knowledge,
I just asked him now- and he said he cant answer cause there was no documentation or anything so he cant say

He probably must have gotten a ban, and the agent won't tell him.

Sundayolayemi:




Thank you for your response. Please how do I go about that. The body of the message and the mail to send to. Thanks.

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Use the link above to contact IRCC via we form. Read carefully and fill in all necessary information appropriately as required. You need your UCI Number, Application number, Date of Birth and your complete name for the webform.

Sundayolayemi:



Yes. All still under process but on the tracker, Eligibility Is completed, Biometrics in Completed, Background check in progress and I have Visa Number and Expiry date.


And yes, I received BVL last week.

You may need to send them a reminder for your PPR via webform. Maybe them forget ooo.

Ikiloba:
Okay he should send them a web form stating why he didn't mention is us visa refusal or why he forgot to input it into is application.
I think we had similar issue here last week.

Yes, no time again. He had better act fast on it.

Karmora:


Nothing serious at all , no home ties I think . He has China visas and other countries also . So while applying for Canada he just decided there was not need adding the U.S refusal . That was the mostake

He should respond to the Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL) by stating the reason for the US visa refusal and the year it happened. And why he didn't mention it in his application. His reason for not saying it has to be a convincing one. An oversight could be a reason for this. Finally, he should be apologetic in his letter to VO. Good luck to him.

oluayebenz:


Can they issue beyond biometric expiration date?

No, IRCC does not issue visas beyond the biometrics expiry date. Your passport and biometric expiry date determine your visa expiry date.

Karmora:
Good morning, please my uncle got this mail since 6 days ago and he dint know . So he was once refused a U.S visa but dint state it in his application, I remember someone has had that issue here but I have searched and can’t find the page . Please help me he has just 4 days to give a very good reasons for his actions what show he say or do ?
Please he is time bound thanks 🙏

It would help if you told us why he was refused US Visa to enable us to advise the way forward.

[quote author=oluayebenz post=122711640]

Well if passport is sent through webform before decision is made, then I believe the visa validity might be extended but not in a case of after decision has been made.

Anyways what do I know?

OP should follow your advice and sent in a new passport. All the best


The same applies even after decision. IRCC does not issue visas beyond the passport expiration date. They always issue visas according to passport expiration date except in a few cases, which is rare.

Sundayolayemi:





I just checked the tracker this morning. Last updated was 19th of April

From my findings, most last updates were done 19th of April, and it appears most of the applicant's statuses are similar. Let's be optimistic!

Sundayolayemi:



What is BVL please?

Biometrics Validity Letter (BVL)

etyno:
Hello my good people,

Pls how do I pay my visitor's visa application fees. Pls do not scroll by, it's urgent.

I have Searched the group but can't seem to find any leads.

I tried using my GTB naira master card d it's declining.

Also does anyone know how much I would be charged in naira for both visa fee and biometrics fee? Kindly respond.
Thanks in advance

Please use dollar card for your visa fee payment, it will go through.

oluayebenz:


They will not.
They already finalize your wife visa application.
They work with her current passport which is still valid till 2024.

Actually there's nothing you can do to extend her visa.

This is not true, please. I have witnessed where IRCC extended visa expiry after passport renewal.

Can I ask you a question? What happens in the case where someone lost his passport before PPR?

Hectorsoboy:
My wife's visa number finally updated to expire in Dec 2024 but I have the link to reissue her passport for 10yrs. Please who knows if I do so will they issue her atleast 5yrs visa?

They will issue her the 10 years if you renew your passport before submission.

Blessedone100:
Good evening All.
I am trying to apply for a visit to Canada through the new portal. I filled the questionnaire in the application link. A list of documents to upload was generated. Surprisingly, the supporting documents requested are just my passport and identity card. The optional documents provided are for those applying for work permit.
I could not find anywhere to upload bank account statement, letter from employer and other supporting documents to support my application.
Please house kindly advise. Thanks.

Go back to the questionnaire and check; maybe you didn't answer the questions correctly as applied to your visa class.

Tohmee07:
Good day everyone. My husband and I applied for Canada visitor visa Nov 2020. I did the whole application. Two days ago I received a mail from immigration that my husband was not sincere about his response to if he has been denied a visa by Canada or another country. The truth is he applied for a us visa long before we were married and i didn’t know about it: Like I said earlier I filled the application form for him which I unintentionally denied he was refused any visa. But now I am to reply immigration within 10days to explain. Please any help on how I can reply?

Just be realistic in your response to the VO. Explain to the VO as you have stated here, and also let the VO know that you didn't consult your husband to ask whether he has been refused a visa or not when filling out the form. You only got to know this when you asked him based on the message from IRCC. That you are very sorry for being ignorant about that. Then, please give the reason for the US refusal and quote the year he was refused.

Additionally, quote the date you first met (this should be after his US Visa application refusal) with your husband and show further evidence of when you got married (marriage certificate). It will help if you do this on time without eating deep into the 10 days given. Good luck!

teedarling:
Good Day house, please I need your urgent advise
I applied in May 2022, BVL dropped 19th April
The issue is that my passport is expiring November 2023 and have requested for passport renewal which is still pending
I tracked my application and noticed visa number was updated today to expire in November due to my passport expiry date.
Please how do I notify IRCC of my passport renewal considering that my passport must be valid for 6months before travel.
Please advise

You should write to IRCC via webform to notify them of your passport renewal. They understand, and there is no problem with that. If I were you, I would renew 10 years to enable IRCC to approve you 10years TRV.

frankiez33:
Those asking about destination being unspecified. I think it's from the information you filled in your application. For instance, someone visiting a family member in Ontario, and filled the family member's address in his or her application. Definitely, his destination will be Ontario.

If your application did not have a specific address of where you are visiting or maybe your tourism schedule has different province. Your application is likely to have destination unspecified. There is nothing to worry about that.

Once you see visa expiry date and visa document number, your PPR is 99.9% loaded.

EXACTLY!

"Hello,

Thank you for the email.

The current application must be closed as it has reached the maximum of the three program choices.

You must submit a new application with the $100 application fee.

Please respond to this email to confirm if the existing application should be closed.

Kind regards,"


Please, I just received the above message from Conestoga College regarding my admision. What does it mean and what do I need to do? Please I need your advise. Thanks.

Tunmiiee:
I submitted my application since last year Feb and eligibility review started last week Friday but the passport i applied with has expired, please I would like to ask if this is going to have a negative impact on my application

Go and renew your passport now and also inform IRCC via webform.

OLAMINREWA:


Hello, I did not submit medical result alongside my application. I did my medical after I had submitted the application. The medical facility you used are not supposed to allow you undergo another medical examination since the current one is yet to expire, I don't know how you were able to beat that. Nevertheless, since you have done it, same result must have been sent to IRCC. To be sure of your medical status, you can request for the result from where you did it and send same to IRCC yourself... Your PPR is very close..... Start searching for flight ticket.

Good morning. Please, I want to ask what information regarding your Study Permit application one needs to share with Qlife during Upfront medical screening.

Meanwhile, I have submitted my SP application, and I have an appointment with Qlife for Upfront medicals next week. I will appreciate your response. Thanks.

harkintem:


I don’t think so. You can give a call to Q-Life after 2-3 days and ask if they have sent your result to IRCC. I did mine 1st March they told me it got sent 5th March when I called them 6th March and my medical was updated 7th March
