PLEASE HOW SOON CAN I WRITE BACK TO THE MP TO ASK AN UPDATE ABOUT MY APPLICATION?

I wrote to them 12 days ago and they responded and asked for some personal details.

Can I write back to them asking what’s the update on my application? Please I need a response anybody?

It’s almost 8 months after biometrics and nothing yet

olasubomy:
I am just doing my own bit bro. I see lots of smart guys and ladies on this forum I also learn from.

I am happy if I can add value to someone.

Thanks for the compliment.

AT THIS POINT, I THINK IRCC IS AFTER MY LIFE CUS WHAT IS ALL THESE DELAY? ��

Please how soon can I email the MP again to ask them about an update?

I emailed them a week ago and they replied and asked for some personal information which I sent and they received it.

How soon can I email them again and ask for an update? Mannn I’m tired, God please ���

Posting this update in case someone finds it helpful.

A family member who applied in Dec 2021 to visit us just got PPR request today. We've been the filling the webforms (Nairobi, London, Accra, Lagos) all this while, bugging the MP's office and emailing the various country email addresses but decided to do the following yesterday:
1. FIlled the new webform: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp?v2
2. Emailed ABUJA-IM-Enquiry@international.gc.ca
3. Reached out to the MP's office. MP's office replied yesterday that they reached out to IRCC to either treat the application soonest or get back to us if they need more information

Long story short, PPR came in this morning.

Okay thank you.
When it asks me that “choose the office where your visa is being processed”
Where should I choose?

Kenya Or where??

olasubomy:
Yes, visa office processing your application is outside of Canada except for permanent residency applications that are sometimes done in Canada.

THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT SO FAR. I’d email those IRCC emails today including the MP.
I need help with webform. I don’t seem to understand at all.

I followed one link to london’s webform but I don’t understand some of the questions.

Is my application processed by an office outside Canada? How am I supposed to know?

Choose the visa office processing your application? How am I supposed to know?

Please help me here

Can someone please send me all IRCC emails?
So I can email them one after the other?
Nairabi
Lagos
Abuja
London
New York

Abi? Or the best is web form? Which one is preferable? Thank you so much

olasubomy:
Thanks @rheene009 - Thanks for the spot. You are right though in fairness some go extra mile but it is better not to expect much from them and channel your communication directly to IRCC.

@ Letuspraytogod: - My response to you relates to IRCC not MP, it skipped my mind to note that. All the best!

PLEASE can you send the format of how to compose a mail to the MP?
Please I’m begging? I mean what the subject would be and the content of the email.
I need this urgently because it’s been 7 months after biometrics and I haven’t gotten anything yet.
Thank you

olasubomy:
Something to cheer us up!

PPR Alert:

I applied for a visit visa for my dad and mum to attend my convocation ceremony barely almost two months ago.

Timeline:

Applied via the IRCC New Portal = March 27, 2022
Biometric Request – March 28, 2022.
Biometrics Done – April 6
Biometrics updated same day for Mother but April 11 for Father. (Note, I did not file group applications for them because I did not have much knowledge as I do now, so I would say group application is better if you are applying for both parents).
Then the long wait started – I was aware that my application had not yet passed standard processing times, so I had to be very diplomatic about how I flood IRCC with emails, so I first contacted the MP of my region.

MP contacted on April 25 – I sent a plea for their follow-up assistance with IRCC.
MP Feedback on April 26 – They informed me there is nothing they can do on the visit visa that is still within processing times of 102 days. They even told me they doubted the decision would come on time. I did not take no for an answer. I sent a response appealing that the graduation is in May, but all went to voice mail ; they did not respond to me again, maybe when they saw my wahala was too much

This experience with the MP has taught me only God has the final decision over your life.

I started thinking of the next step. I chatted with Fankrobbn1 chief guru from the Canada Student thread, since he knows better than me on things like this. He encouraged me that immigration hardly refuses parents as they have lesser flight risk as long as the person does not have a criminal record. Fankrobbn1 is a very confident immigration guru, and I like him for that.

I started sending periodical webform to London, Lagos, Abuja, and Nairobi and even decided to add the superpowers, New York . I compassionately coined the mail (compassionate mail) appealing for my parents to be part of the ceremony. Abuja has no web form, so I sent emails to Abuja IRCC.

I had barely done that for a week before Abuja IRCC sent an email to check the portal for an important letter, and lo and behold, I saw their PPR today.

Documents Submitted:

• My personal stamped Canadian Bank statement –I took a calculated risk - I did not submit bank statements for my parent because my dad does not have much. Only my mum has a bank statement, so I thought about how I will submit a bank statement for mum and none for dad—the reason for the decision. But on the second note, that might work for a group application.
• Air flight ticket – fully paid – I attached evidence.
• Airbnb- Fully paid – I attached evidence.
• Letter of invitation from my school
• Confirmation of invitation letter drafted by me.
• Copies of Previous USA and UK visas
• Copies of Governors Consent to Land (C of O)
• Just two random old family pictures showing me with my parents on essential days (Picture of my ICAN induction and my dad's birthday)
• The file size was beyond 2 mb, so I sent the major doc on the portal and sent the remaining through a webform, and email with a letter of explanation addressed to the Deputy High Commission.

I wish you guys still expecting God speed and positive decision soon. You will testify soon.

LET US JUST PRETEND LIKE MANY OF US HERE DONT HAVE PENDING APPLICATIONS FROM LAST YEAR SEPTEMBER AND NOTHING YET FROM IRCC.
How will you apply October, did biometrics October and till then nothing yet?
For the study visa, no medical instructions, nothing nothing!
7 months after biometrics!!! 7 MONTHS!!!! 7 MONTHS!!!!! Still nothing!

THIS IS VERY UNFAIR! VERY VERY.

Please drop your email or IG or anyhow I can reach you. Thank you

Hello everyone, I arrived Canada yesterday..

Airline -Ethiopia Airlines
Ticket- Return 640k
Airline was one of the best .. Premium flight.. I don’t know why people criticize that flight.. Tho I prayed to God for the best of the best Ethiopian airbus and Indeed it wasn’t different from those times I travel with Emirates...

Stop over - Lagos to Addis Ababa, to Durblin Ireland , then Toronto ( Pearson)

Food was nice too..

Documents for traveling...
Muritala- Covid pcr test, covid vaccine, ArriveCAN, Acceptance letter, passport , Ticket
Bag is 23kg 2 pieces.. Hand luggage 7kg

Toronto
When you arrive you’ll go through a self declaration process and scan ur passport! It will print a slip at conclusion..Very easy I can promise you

Move to first Immigration, he’d ask you for ur passport , Self declaration slip.. Then few questions! He later asked how was I feeling , Axious, excited, scared I smiled and said of course I’m excited with accent ... Na as I enter flight I don download accent for my tongue.. Emi laye mi...lol..
No big deal be with God and be yourself


Second Immigration is for study permits
He requested for passport,School Acceptance letter, Tuition fee, passport .. And few questions.. Be with God and be yourself.. No lies be true ..


My first application was refused .. He asked if I applied before .. I told him yes and I was refused .. Asked why I told him the truth and said okay ...

Issued my Study permit and gave me 2 years again ... My course is 7 months .. Don’t forget !! Be with God and be yourself..
I told him what next , he said get ur bag and get off here ... All happened less than 10 minutes.. I was out ... Getting out !!! Omo cold told me bros welcome !!! Actually sweet cold ooo ..
All my pimples started falling down , skin started to dry and cool like butter.I swear I don fine .. Just one minute cold ..... My people didn’t arrive quick.. The cold now said bros how far ...? Omo at that time my hands wear deep in my pockets and covered my body .. The thing don dey pass play ..
Guys don’t worry it will end in premium praise .. Don’t forget be with God and be yourself... Cheers �
I’m still in complete awe...

Please we’ve applied since last year October and we haven’t seen anything.
Is it a crime to apply using the old portal. This is becoming frustrating everyday! If they’re not going to continue with the applications in the old Portal then they should put out a circular for everyone to re apply using the new portal.
This is sickening at this point! 6 months after biometrics and nothing yet. Who does this?
This is very very annoying

Those that started their application this year already gotten PPR this April or last month.

I’m just gonna act like I’m not worried or surprised Why a lot of us submitted last year and we still haven’t gotten a thing! Not even medical instructions.

Okay then. God with everybody ��

BitterSweet:
I am in the same shoes. Applied October 2021 via GCkey and haven't heard a word since after my biometrics.

Please send me your number or IG handle, let’s connect abeg.
Thanks

We that applied TRV since last year starting from October using the old portal, they seem not to pay attention to our application anymore.
Biometrics since October and UP TILL NOW, no Medical instructions at all talkless of PPR.

Almost 6 months after biometrics and nothing yet. I’ve never seen such application before. I’m so confused.

I don’t think I’m the only one going through this. They should just do what’s right cus it’s starting to look like they’re playing �

I’m actually very sad. Nothing makes sense.

Biometrics since October 2021 and nothing yet from IRCC.
No medical instructions nothing nothing. I refresh my email every 30 minutes now hoping for a good news. Nothing.
What’s with the hold up?
Without this, there’s no hope for PPR.

Am I the only one going through this? Please help!!!

PS; I applied using the old portal. I haven’t re applied using the new portal cus I applied after September 7th.
I started my application October.
