Hi everyone,

In the spirit of giving back to the community, here’s my application timeline;

Application submitted- June 11, 2023
Biometrics completed at VFS Lagos - June 21, 2023
Biometrics validity letter - June 15, 2023
PPR - June 15, 2023
Passport submission at VFS Lagos - June 20, 2023
Passport delivered by UPS courier to a Lagos address - July 30, 2023


Background- I have valid US and UK visas. Also several expired Schengen visas. So I am a frequent traveler and most trips are for tourism.

Applied as a tourist with hotel reservation. No family or friend in Canada was mentioned in my application
Submitted all the regular documents - nothing extra

All the best to others still expecting PPR.

Congratulations

Hello guys,
I finally received passport request after IRCC complain my bank statement was fakes. Thank you guys for assistance. I have a little problem, I am travelling to Austria Wednesday next week. Can I submit my passport in Austria for the IRCC to stamp the visa on my passport.

Application submitted: May 16 2023
Procedure fairness: July 28 2023
BVL August 1 2023
Passport request August 1 2023

Yes I was able to , I just clicked on register and I did

Emmafe:
Are you sure you were able to register without generating the invitation code? Unless the website has bn changed I don’t think you can open an account without doing that.

Please I’m worried and concerned. When I registered, I just registered on the new portal , I didn’t go through getting invitation code first, I hope this won’t be an issue because I’m about to start uploading and then pay for the fee. Will there be an issue if I didn’t go through the invitation code or it’s not necessary ?

You generated code before registering ?

jesufifunmi:
Yes, I did.

Congratulations , is it the new portal you used and if it is , did you generate code before registering ?

jesufifunmi:
Hi guys! A silent follower!

I am a first time applicant. I did my biometrics on the 17th of this month and got a BVL and PPR today.

Can I walk in to Vfs Lekki to submit my passport or I need to book an appointment? I don't want to use the courier option because of the stories of delays I have been reading here..

Thank you and you too

Gentlesoul3268:
Well since it work like that no caused for alarm best of luck meljoe

I registered without generating code , it’s not acceptable like that ?

Gentlesoul3268:
MBS ( Mybankstatement)

Also you will generate code first before you can apply through new portal

Congratulations , please did you just register on the new portal or you generated code first ?

DrPrincess:
Good evening all.
I finally collected my stamped passport.

Application submitted: March 22, 2023
Biometric request: March 23, 2023
Biometric done: March 24, 2023
BVL: June 28, 2023
PPR: July 5, 2023
Passport submission to UPS: Thur July 6, 2023
PP received by VFS Lagos: Mon July 10, 2023
PP dispatched from Lagos: Mon July 10, 2023
PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and to be sent to CVAC Abuja OC: Tue July 11, 2023

I was confused at this point 😕 🫤 because why are you receiving and saying you will send to yourself again then I just assumed they made a mistake in the message. It was not a mistake 😢 😭 😪
Within this period, I checked the application tracker, saw visa number even though my background check was in progress.

PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and in transit to IRCC office Abuja OC: Thur July 13, 2023

I started becoming jittery at this point because of my other upcoming trip. Plus the people that submitted same day with me and a day after me had gotten msgs that their PP had left IRCC after stamping. Checked my status and it was still saying background check in progress🙄

PP received by IRCC: Thur July 20, 2023

So PP was in transit within Abuja for 1 whole week. The PP must have been tired of trekking 😔

PP received by CVAC Abuja CVO: Mon July 24, 2023

I checked my status on the portal and the application tracker. Application tracker was still saying 'in progress' because background check was in progress. Portal was updated to background completed, but no info on passport being stamped.

I decided to chat VFS on Wed morning July 26. Chatted with Chiamaka, she confirmed that PP was in transit to Lagos VFS. I kept stressing how urgent it was because of my planned trip and it was already almost 3 weeks after submission. I was practically pleading that I can pick it up from anywhere... she insisted I will pick it up in lagos VFS office. 2 mins after our chat, collection mail in Lagos dropped 💃 💃 💃
VFS passport tracker was still showing 'in transit' till I collected the passport.

I just checked the application tracker now (fri 28 July), and the status says 'closed'. It was updated July 26, the day lagos collection mail dropped.
The portal overall status still says 'submitted'.

Other info:
I used the new link for application.
I had US visa.
I applied as a tourist.

Thank you and What’s mbs please ?

AskGod07:
Very much acceptable

I have seen an event VO denied application due to a network problem when accessing MBS on bank website .

Both bank statement is acceptable

Please normal bank statements with reference letters from each bank is not acceptable ?

Deluvtj247:
Yes, that is called mybankstatements. I believe you should have a placeholder on your profile to upload/submit the document for explanation. If you have just one place holder to upload your explanation, merge all the document as one pdf and upload.

You can also use this link to submit required document.

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ClientContact/en/Application/Form/72

Please is it 3 months or 6 months bank statement ?

AskGod07:
Not necessary but if you can it help

Okay thank you

AskGod07:
Not necessary but if you can it help

Please is reference letter from banks necessary ?

Please what address should I write on the cover letter please ?

Okay thank you so much , please do you know where I should address it to ? Like the address or something . Should I just write The Consular Officer , Canadian Embassy ?

Viking07:
Your statements are all okay. I’ve read more expressive writeup. Add as many evidence/documents as you can.

Wonderful , thank you so much

prettyynx:
too much info isnt that bad , but youve literally done their job for them ..which sometimes spooks them ... neverthless too little information too is bad lol ...
go with your guts and follow prayer .

Wahala , Is too much information bad ? I did all that because they are all adults , to show more information

prettyynx:
You provided too much information ...use chatgtp to write the letter (not more than 100 words ) and just write "please find attached necessary document for my application .

below is an example .

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to apply for a Canadian tourism visa to explore the breathtaking beauty and cultural richness that Canada has to offer. As an avid traveler, I am excited to experience its diverse landscapes, historic sites, and vibrant cities. I assure you of my strong ties to my home country and full compliance with all visa requirements. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to visit Canada.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Please I need sample of introduction letter , cover letter and sponsorship letter please

Okay thank you

Newbiein2016:
Both - Introduction letter is part of employment docs showing your own your own business (people have the secretary sign it, search this forum for samples). Cover letter details your travel purpose, itinerary & other relevant details.

+ sponsorship letter for your children.

Even as adults ? They are adults oo

Emmafe:
Kids don’t do biometrics, I don’t know d price in naira. Also u can’t pay with ur naira card.

That’s 110k naira for each person right ? And I do business , is it introduction or cover letter I’m writing ?

Newbiein2016:
C$185 for visa & biometrics

Your introduction letter (if any) from your workplace should be on your official letterhead.

However, others can be written without as they are not sponsored trips warranting use of official docs.

That’s 185 cad for each person in a family right ? That’s 110k naira for each person ?

Emmafe:
Visit visa application is 100 cad

Which is how much please ? I meant the application fee

Emmafe:
85 CAD. It will be paid along with the application fee.
