Newbiein2016:
If the IRCC tracking portal (https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login) was last updated on 20th June, it has an update indicating they sent you a message & it is very likely the next update might have your visa details on tracker.

Don't worry unless you need to. Your passport is out for stamping, so just hold on until you get notified for delivery

My page was last updated May 11 till now have gotten no update .I am confused about the whole system

OsiEnterprise4:
I am still in need of how we can retrieve my brother UCI Number, e applied through an agent 2019, and he doesn't have the UCI number and now he want to apply again, and we can not reach the agent again, please I need the help of the house, @emmafe and co

josephb:
Yes if he wants,

But if you know your UCI number, your biometrics will auto pop up during your next submission.

You don't need to have the letter. If really you did the biometric,while filling the form you will be asked ,have you don't biometric within the last 10yrs just click yes. When you submit the biometric date will appear on your application

Hello Everyone.

Please I need your advice based on your various experiences presently.
I helped my sister apply for a visitor's visa on September 25, 2022, my younger sister and the husband are the ones who invited her, and she was supposed to visit between Nov. 2022 - Mar. 2023. But we have updated her visit schedule to between Jul. - Sept. 2023 since the earlier timeline is past.

Also, I applied for GCMS notes on Mar. 2, 2023, and got it on Apr. 1, 2023. But the were no entries entered yet. However, I just applied again today being May 23, 2023 to view the status since 2 other people I applied for in Oct. 2022 have received their approvals this May 2023.
I decided to come to Nairaland as this site was super helpful when I applied for my study permit in 2018, and so far I have seen some things new to me.

I notice people mentioning receiving a BVL after application. Please what is a BVL and its significance? I am assuming it is Biometric Validation Letter? Based on the tracker, I see only biometric has been completed, background check is still on going, and eligibility is not started yet.
Lastly, from the GCMS notes I received in April 2023, I see that Nairobi is the Primary Visa Office and London is the Secondary Visa Office for my sister's application.
Considering that the application progress timeline is 8 months now, is it okay to send an email? I see negative feedbacks on sending emails to the Nairobi Office. Is it advisable to send to the Lagos or Abuja office then?

NB: My sister has an initial refusal in Feb. 2022, and a US visitor's visa refusal in 2017. I was assuming this could cause delays due to background checks via the 5 eyes (USA, UK, New Zealand, Australia & Canada).

Kindly share your thoughts, this will be very much appreciated.

Pamda1234:
Any bvl, PPR or eligibility today?or change of update on tracker?

chlowi:


Hi Angiee thank you for checking on me , I was refused the visa on the grounds that I didn't declare my past refusals , it was clearly an oversight , one. Which I had raised a webform , I'm reapplying immediately @hola55 sorry to learn about yours too , I pray this reapplication will favour us this time 🙏

Emmafe:
Don’t panic, so far you declared it’s fine. God will perfect everything. When did you apply, have you gotten bvl?

inHisheart:
Okay, now I'm officially worried
Hubby,son and I were denied US visas in 2019. The trip was supposed to serve as the honeymoon we never had when we got married (same thing we stated when we applied for canada visa for myself and Son).
I just read somewhere up there that we should have stated the reason we were denied e.g home ties... which in all honesty, we can't remember because we were too disappointed to even go through the slip
Someone also mentioned a blue slip but we got a pink slip.

Please, anybody here that has gotten bvl/ppr without stating the exact reason they were denied?

Emmafe:
People got PPR after the strike, I’ve also seen approvals today. The strike isn’t affecting application process. Visit application looks like it’s process in bulk, the timeline is the same for many applicants. Let hope the next set of BVL & PPR, we’ll be among. The wait is tiring, I dn tire to send Webform and mails.

josephb:
Hi,

I am aware this is the tracker, on your main dashboard/portal is your eligibility being review or hasn't started?

Regards,
Not started

josephb:
Can you show a screenshot?

You mean your Eligibility didn't also start on the portal too?

No in the portal it has not started
Biometric completed, background in progress

obinwanne:


Mine…
Biometrics: Completed.
Eligibility: Not Started.
Background Check: In Progress.
I’m not even bothered. The wait has already numbed my feelings.😂😂😂

Jenniferade:
Hi guys! I just checked and saw my biometric check completed and background verification in Process. Please how long does it take to complete background verification?

Karmora:

Karmora:

Kodia007:

Chpelu:
Yes, we were treated unfairly. You are like the 9th person that mentioned we been treated unfairly.
The ECO that handle our application is a sadist.
All his monthly salary reflected in his account statement. And he gave a full explaination about how his freelancer job is not fixed.

If I want to reapply for me and my baby alone to travel to UK. Do I need to submit my own bank statement for my baby application or my husband bank statement. Or our bank statement is not needed for her application since she is an infant.
Thanks
Thanks
