Please, those that it took look for you to get your passport back after submission, how did you tackle this issue?

Please oh. Those that it took long before IRCC returned their passports back to them, how did you handle the situation? Submitted since December 7, last update is that it is under process at the IRCC Office, which was sent on December 8.

School is resuming January 3, flight has been booked for January 1 to arrive on January 2 yet these people haven't returned the passport. Called and mailed VFS multiple times but they said it's at IRCC and there's nothing they can do. They can't even give estimated return timeline.

Also sent several webforms and emails, yet nothing! Please help

Good afternoon, Guru

Please I need help.

2nd Time Applicant

Application submitted October 8, 2022.
Eligibility. November 21, 2022
Medical pass. -. November 21,2022

Application differed three times and designated learning resume January 9,2023. No information up till this moment, Please any idea what I can do. Though, I keep sending mails and request for GCMS note.

Hi, I think ordering CBSA notes/GCMS notes and firing emails and webforms seems like your best shot. Did you send mails and webforms before your eligibility started?

Zeed13:
The online platform brought me a request for a medical exam (img).
I don't know what this means.
Please note: I am just registering and trying to upload my pdf etc.

While answering the question, you probably selected that you completed medical examination that's why. You will need to either do a medical examination with one of Canada's approved physicians and upload the medical sheet or you go back to the questionnaire and answer "no" when asked if you have completed medical examination.

Hello guys:

First time post here. Just thought I'd post because I'm running out of options:

I'm not sure how many of us have been waiting for very long, but my application was submitted since June, and I am yet to hear back from IRCC:

Medicals Done Jun 6
Application Submitted Jun 8
Biometrics Done Jun 9
Eligibility and Background Check started Aug 19
Medicals Uploaded to Pass N/A
PPR N/A

I sent multiple webforms and emails over the past few months with little positive responses. I have received two separate responses to the Webforms I sent to Kenya and both seemed to be very generic responses. One requested for my email and passport biodata page which I sent, while the other said they are processing my application but cannot give a timeframe.

Is there any other step that I can take to get either a decision or an update from IRCC? Waiting for 6 months without feedback is not beans.

Assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

I feel you! Order GCMS/CBSA notes. Contact MPs (members of parliament) in the area where your school is located for assistance. In your next webform/email, let them know of your class start date and how long your application has been. If your school doesn't offer online or virtual classes, mention it too and if you can't defer your admission as well, ensure to include it but still try and keep it short, concise, informative and empathetic. Aim to send at 8 AM their time, both emails and webforms.

Someone here sent 50 mails and got a decision the following day, #JustSaying

Godspeed!

Hello guys:

I just got a request for medical exam from IRCC today. Though I did upfront medical test and attached my upfront medical slip with my application in August.

Should I just resend the medical slip which contains my IME and UMI numbers?

Will they be able to get the result of the test directly from IOM if I send the slip?

Yes, they will. I believe you find my previous post useful as well as you are in the same situation with the person I responded to.

In addition, try and aim their office opening time. You can schedule the email to send at that time, taking into consideration the time difference. Also send to Abuja & Lagos via email and webforms at 8 AM.

Gracehayford1:
Hello all, I did upfront medicals September and it was updated in my profile September 14th. I just got a medical request from ircc. Please advise further what to do.

I will advise that you send your eMedical Information Sheet via webform and email to Nairobi, London, Accra, New York, Chinese and Indian offices, even Lima (Peru). In your email and enquiry body (for the webforms) ensure to include the details on the eMedical Information Sheet such as IME, UMI etc.

Is there anyone scheduled for medicals this week that can swap or exchange their slots even if for a little price? I have a friend who needs to do his requested medicals this week. Preferably QLife, but I don't think my friend cares at this point.

Message me on WhatsApp :09130917585

@ Rebecausoro. I have an appointment on 10th August with Qlife . Message me on WhatsApp for a slot swap: 09130917585

Wow, imagine. They just wasted the priority and courier service fee. The more important thing is you have gotten your passport with the visa in it. Great. Maybe you could have used that enquiry contact for £2.78 I guess. That would've probably saved you the stress of going up and down.
Enjoy your trip.

I don’t know why it took that long sincerely. And when I got to the British Council yesterday, it was obvious the passport has just been with them but they didn’t act on it. I got the mail today and picked up today even though I had paid for courier delivery. I couldn’t wait for Monday cos I needed the Passport. If I hadn’t gone there, they wouldn’t have sent the passport to TLS today.

Congratulations! Awwesome. A quick question please... When did you receive a mail that your passport is available for collection? And do you know why it took that long for priority service that ought to be 5 working days? Like it literally took the usual 21 days from the timeline you stated. Thanks and congrats once more.

Visa Alert
Thank you all for your inputs in this group.. you don’t know how much it has helped.

Biometrics date - 30/07/2021
Type - Priority service
Collection Date - 20/08/2021

I had a very hard time getting my passport back. I had to travel to Abuja to TLS office and British Council office yesterday 19/08/2021 because I have a trip for Sunday 22/08/2021 and they assured me I will get it today.
Finally picked it up with my visa in it.

Documents submitted - Statement of Salary account, payslips, introduction letter from my company, Savings accounts, letter of appointment which has my remuneration, cover letter. I forgot to include my hotel reservation but it still worked.

I wish I found this early enough. My company would be interested in this. Send a mail: paxventuresltd@gmail.com.

Good day,
I am Benjamin, a tech entrepreneur. I am currently in need of a technical partner for my start-up idea in education. So far, I've been able to design the interface of the app, conduct market survey across over 4000 customers(students) to validate my idea and determine how feasible it is. I have all the knowledge ,experience and resources to give the start-up great traction. However ,I do not have the expertise to develop this solution, and it would take quite a while learning to build a complex system of such. Therefore, I need a technical co-founder, who can work with me to develop the web and app solution for an exchange in equity . The target market for this solution are the students in higher institution (University, polytechnics, college of technology ) . The core revenue stream of this product would come from in-app purchases and subscription to our service. Based on this model, we project a revenue of $22000 in our first year of operation..
If you are interested in working on this project to develop the software for an exchange in equity, kindly drop your email here. Thank you.

Hello,

Please, which category will personal cover letter be when using self upload service.

Omokas2:

Pls go with all your documents and make sure they are in A4. Thy accept photocopy,the ones you know are not on A4 just photocopy them.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it

DeeOneBangin:


Only the new documents is what you should print out and take to the tls centre.

They will add it to the ones you have submitted.

It costs ₦11,700. No cash payment allowed.

Ok, better then. Thanks so much.

DeeOneBangin:


Go with printed copy (A4 size only)

Nobody will collect soft copy from you oooo

Lol, so I have to print all the documents?? Even after having them in soft copy already and uploading it. I've uploaded all the documents already using the self service but I just got new documents that I will like to add.

Sanmigbola:
Yes, they will scan it for you when you get to TLS.

Okay, great. So I can just go with the soft (digital copies) then. Thanks so much. Really appreciate it.

Sanmigbola:
Yes, you can upload documents at the appointment but you will pay additional 11,700(not sure of the price)

Ok. Thank you. I have uploaded and submitted already via their portal though (using self service) but the person inviting me just sent two new docs that would prove useful. My documents are all in soft copy already, would that be accepted?

Hello, after using self service to upload and submit documents, is it possible to still add additional documents? Maybe at the appointment centre or via the portal?

I will really appreciate your response(s) to this. Thanks.

Sunexy:

During this tracking, can i use a different email from the one used during application? Will it disrupt anything?

You can only use the email you used to sign up for the visa application.

Sunexy:

Is there a particular site? Pls share it

Use your UK visa application login link.

Sunexy:

Omo i don find am taya and i no see...even the TLS application is useless...gimme TLS website if you can

Login through UKVI, follow through to where you'll be asked to select appointment date. When it transfers you to TLS website, you'll see options lined up, amongst it is "Track" right after your appointment date and time.

Lilly211:



Thanks for ur response. I do not have receipts to show for the outgoings. It’s my day to day account and I use it almost everyday for my feeding, workers feeding, fuel , food stuffs, utility bill and other miscellaneous , and there is no way I can get a receipt for all dis.

But I already had invoice for proof of savings because I received some heavy inflow monthly as well

I was asked the total amount of money I spend in a month. After calculating my monthly expenditure on my bank statement I got confused coz it varies.. I don’t have a fix amount.. some months I spend in total over 200k, another month over 400k and another month over 800k and over 1m in another month.

I think an average will be ideal to state in the application since it varies.

giselle237:
if it is almost 1 year ago and you need to show the ECO or bring into cognizance this 700k as you keep bringing it up here, surely you can submit your bank statemnt from last year august till now to show origin of these funds.
It can show in a longer statemnt. As you are including this sum in your application as part of your annual earnings then pls back it up with paper evidence.

Ok then. But it isn't the main fund actually, it is a minority. My savings and yearly salary are the main funds and they are well shown in the bank statement. Thanks for the heads up.

justwise:


Ok then lets hope for the best outcome

Bless. I'll keep you updated. Muchas Gracias.

Can I submit my sponsor's employment letter and pay slips as proof that he can take care of my daily maintenance in the UK throughout the duration of my stay?

justwise:


It doesn't, if you claimed that you earned 700K through rent payment from your tenants you need to show evidence of that earning , tenancy agreement and one month rent is not an evidence

Hmmmm, I get you. It's not one month rent though, it's a year's rent and each tenant paid 350k. There are two tenants so that makes it 700k. They paid in August & October last year, so it can't show in a 6-7months bank statement. I have already submitted the application and been given appointment date.

justwise:


No, evidence of rent payment from tenants will.

In a case where such evidence can not be shown in the bank statement because it is not within the past 6, even 7 months period, what does one do? The tenancy agreement should suffice in that case right? Since it shows the agreement, and acknowledges the receipt of the first payment (it's for two years).

justwise:


Non comes to mind at the moment

Tenancy agreement will suffice for the proof of additional income right? Thanks again.

justwise:


Don't include the money if you can not support the source with evidence. Work with your salary account since you have evidence to support the source.

Ok. Thank you very much. What about as regards any other document(s) that I ought to add but didn't list earlier.

justwise:


Submit both accounts to support your source of your income

You know it's 6 months statement, and the rent collection is not captured in it as it is not paid during that particular 6 month period.

Success2011:
I don’t seem to know the documents you’ve already gathered.

I have a couple of documents in place already such as his invitation letter, his wife's support letter, both of them's int'l passport data page, their house agreement, my birth certificate and his own, my employment letter, annual leave letter, introduction letter from employer, 6 months payslips, work ID card, 6 months bank statement, a deed of Grant which depicts where I currently stay with my unmarried partner and survey of two plots of land in my name in Ibadan.
