Honestly you are God sent. I did exactly this. So what I did was to create another GCkey account and use my same email address for this account so it removed my email from the original account where I was having issues. So I found where to link an account in this new account. I entered all the same details from the previous account and it linked it for me. Just saw that I’ve been asked to submit my passport for stamping. God bless you so much

Good for you! Congratulations.

Did you apply in Nigeria or UK?

Has anyone gotten involved in any class action suit before?
I saw one for Mercedes diesel cars and thinking of joining...
Any advise at all?

So guys, I got a BVL correspondence letter yesterday, today visa number and expiry has been updated on the tracker... So now awaiting PPR.

2020 Nov application FYI....

Faithluv5:
Yeah but it wont go to the main page except i click continue after entering my login details. See below..

Hey!
Been busy all day.

1. Click on that "Govt of Canada" icon to take you to the home page.
2. On the options that come out, click on "Immigration and citizenship"
3. Scroll down and click on "my application"
4. Click on "sign in or create an account"

Faithluv5:
I have been doing this. Still the same. I'm really worried. I dont know if anyone is having same issues logging into the old website and what i can do.

Go back to the IRCC home page and navigate to the portal from there again. It worked for me.

Hola55:

josephb:

Very frustrating.

Succeed04:

Status
Eligibility completed
Biometric completed
Background check in progress

Last updated April 19 2023.

Some persons that Applied last year 2022 have received BVL and PPR

Same here... Nov 2020..such a shame.

Any PPRs for 2020 applicants?
It is mind boggling how an application can take so long and more recent applications are being processed..

segunzolawalez:
Nigerians here in the UK hardly talk about owing businesses, why?? I haven't heard of Nigerians who own big businesses in the UK. Most I have heard about are those who own African restaurants, African shops, carehomes or care agencies.

Right. I'm interested to hear more from people who are entrepreneurs here too.

Temi231:
I do not want to reply to this before but I believe some people make their decision depending on what they read online. I will appreciate it if you can quote any company in Nigeria that pays the equivalent of 48 million naira for a Manager in Nigeria. The one I worked for before in Nigeria is one of the highest-paid institutions in Nigeria and I can say with my full chest that a Deputy director does not even earn 52 million or 48 million yearly talk less than 40 million.

Unless you want to run things with paper company or being corrupt that the only way you can make exorbitant money in Nigeria.

I know a lot of start ups and medium sized companies where senior mgrs earn about N30m. I would imagine their directors And CEOs earn a lot more.
So much larger Companies should pay even more...

Congratulations!

This application was done in Nigeria and has been pending since 2020. Currently I am based in the UK. I had to send an email to Canadian embassy here in the UK and they responded within 31 days. The event I am attending is next week Sunday so I need to get the passport stamped timely to enable me up with the event

Please can you share their email? I'm looking to transfer my processing office since I'm no more in Nija

timmyfg:
Dear House, Please what is the meaning of this correspondence letter.?? I just saw this today.
I applied for a visiting visa since 2020
And it has been pending all this while.
Just today I noticed they updated the above letter after I sent an email to Canadian embassy here in the UK where I currently based informing them that I will be attending my youngest brother wedding coming up 29th of April 2023.
I requested that they should take over my application because of my current location and address. Please anyone with similar experience. I presumed they are working on it

Hi,
Pls can you share the process you used to ask for transfer? I'm in a similar situation and looking to fast track by all possible means before I decide to submit a new application.

Good morning all,

Please who has ever gotten an emergency travel certificate from the high commission in London?

Was it a smooth process and how long did it take?

Phayie:
What I noticed about the price is that if you've had your provisional more than 1yr and you just had you full licence, the the price of the provisional licence will be cheaper than the full licence. If you wait till more than 6months before updating your full licence, then the price could reduce. (I might not be totally right)

Actually now I remember I got my previous insurance on my Nigerian license not my provisional!
Not sure if that made a difference..

Viruses:
Does anyone have an idea on this?

If I take out insurance on provisional licence, will the price change (go up) if I get my full license few months later and update my record.

Currently I'm getting about £800 if I fill the form with my provisional licence, but if I change the license to full (other details remain the same) the price goes up to about £1,500. I'm yet to take my driving test.

I started with intl, forgot to update to full until it was 2 weeks to renewal. My quoted price went down though a few things also changed like my address and a slight reduction in mileage.
But like ppl have said, the quotes I got from other providers were much higher than the ones I got last year when applying with provisional.
Modified...I started with Intl not provisional.

Viruses:
Which insurance company is this. I'm currently getting over £1,300 even after adding voluntary excess.

DaveChapelle:
hmmn🤔🤔🤔. How'd you manage that? Was that on annual renewal? Or even after comparison sites?

Annual renewal. I didn't just automatically renew...gave them a call to update some info for the new year and then negotiated the price of over 800 they quoted me to just over 600. I still asked for more (as Olivia Twist 😀) but they were now asking if I had a better deal so they could match, I didn't (lowest quote I got was almost double £1400) so I took what was on the table.
I think having a history with them helped.

Lexusgs430:
A room for negotiation is always available, wiggle room or compromise........

If you don't ask...... You don't get .....😂

I learnt this lesson many years ago after I asked (because I was broke) for a discount on my tuition fees and they gave me almost 40% off🤑. I realised I only asked as that was the only option I had, if I had the cash I wouldn't have asked.
Since then I negotiate every and anything.. just saved over 200pounds on my car insurance last week by negotiating with my provider...

Regex:
He can't have it both ways. Either he leaves, accepts the £25 increment for 12 months or the £50 being on the statuary.

There is always room to negotiate. He can always ask first, if declined, he can negotiate for a shorter term.

hadigun:
Are you playing I’m in the UK and I’ve applied since August 2022… no response till date…. I used the new portal. We might get lucky if we reapply sha…

Ahrhhggg
You've just killed my hope o last year when I checked, UK times were not too different from Nija, which is why I didn't bother reapplying then..I'll still try sha, who knows..

josephb:
It states We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements?

Is that what you have exactly?

Yeah, you can give till month end, you need not cancel the current but you can reapply from where you reside now.

Yes, that is what it states.....
That is the plan...I really don't want to reapply if I can help it. I find the Canadian visa application the most tedious and annoying visa application to put together with all the details they ask for....

josephb:
Since when?

I honestly don't know cos I wasn't looking out for that, I feel like it has been like that since 2021 ish.....I have sent some mails and updated my expired docs via Web form...I give them until month end, then I will reapply.
Luckily I'm in the UK and I see the average application time is 30days here.

obazi:
Did you check the present status of the 2020 application for the TRV

Yes I did. It has been on reviewing eligibility status for a good while now..

Zahra29:
In England, all children over the age of 3 get 15 hours funded childcare irrespective of status. 30 hours funding is dependent on settled/permanent status and income related checks.
The rules might be different in Scotland

At what age do they get full time access?

Does anyone know the process to get an international driving permit?

You don't need one. Use your normal Nigerian license.
