So nairaland family that's my final update. Thankyou all so much, I posted this pics, so that people will know what it looks like for each milestone to be ticked. So from above you will notice background check and biometrics are dated same. But in reality it wasn't same, review of eligibility and background check was still processing, this means after request for passport they are still doing their final check till stamped. visas were given till passport expiry  5 Likes |

Angie32:@Angie32, I really dunno, but my correspondence letter or BVL was addressed from London, so I assume it's London. However, request for passport, I personally asked the guy on duty if they were sending the passport to London for stamping, he said No, that it's in Lagos, so therefore I conclude passport stamping will be done in IRCC Lagos, that is probably why I wasn't charged for passport transmission, I have also recieved mail that it has been processed and is being sent to the VAC for collection, quite fast as compared to the 15days averagely to get the passport as told to me by same officer on duty. As for review of eligibility, give it time probably 2weeks or less. I can't tell how long they will spend on your application. Hope this helps...... 1 Like |

obilec:@obilec, Now it's clearer, your husband is your Canadaian (strong) tie. So the Visa officer is probably thinking if you join him, you may end up overstaying and violating the visit visa policy. (As no job nor school can stop the bond of a married couple So therefore, just as @Nothingdome has rightly proposed, the spousal sponsorship has been designed for this kind of scenario. I think you should ply that route. 1 Like |

Abekebabe:If his business isn't registered with CAC, then its difficult to prove it's a legitimate business , however if you can prove it somehow then you are good, I think the type of bank account doesn't matter, but you may have to explain why its a savings account and so on, because your duty is to convince the Visa officer beyond doubt that you are eligible for the visa. |

obilec:@obilec so sorry for the refusal, however, as for the Canadian family ties, am thinking it has to do with the person that invited you, probably the person isnt related to you or what was your purpose of travel? |

Abekebabe:in my opinion it's good to add both for transparency, however it depends if he will declare he is working or self employed, that will also determine which to present, for example if he is declaring self employment then he needs to show his business account, the salary account isn't needed. 1 Like |

Recieved 6 ghost updates on my mail , 2 for each of us, of which each update represents correspondence letter and Original passport request letter update, they all came in between 3:10pm and 3:13pm. Like I said earlier, their updates are not consistent, so even if you know the time, yours could drop in the morning.... Angie32: |

Bros Ruben, good you came here by yourself, run from agents ooo, my personal advice Is to tell him you are not interested again... From what I percieve, your agent is doing a group submission, where he can make profit, for example, a single applicants fee costs 100CAD and biometrics is 85CAD , but if he adds more people to the application he will pay just 170CAD for biometrics and the others added is his profit. And he will still charge for his profit, and there is no guarantee for a successful application, its just mouth. Agents focus is your money they don't really care about you. They can go at any length to submit forged documents on your behalf, and if you are caught you will be banned from travelling for some time. Apply on your own, come here and ask questions, its cheaper and best for a successful application. Ruben225571: |

Angie32:Thanks Angie, First of all, I personally noticed from this forum that updates on the dashboard in relation to the milestone the VO have gotten to, isn't consistent. That being said, in my case, I checked on oct 30th, nothing changed, but on oct 31st, the write up under review of eligibility changed without any update... this is why I felt it started that day... But another angle to it is from Oct 31st to 4th Nov, looks short to process the application "i guess", so maybe eligibility started when I had a ghost update on my mail on oct 17th, but it didn't reflect on the dashboard... Anything is possible 1 Like |

Enishit:Honestly I can't tell, what I know is my experience, I had to ask if I should pay at Stirling bank inside VFS, but the man on duty said no. Although from November 2nd, they updated things but I am not aware if this was one of them. How much was your online application fee? Mine was $470 |

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/come-canada-tool.html thanks to @Nothingdome for sharing the above link. that tool above helps you apply as a group adding people, so that the application goes as a bundle. As for applying as a dependent, there was no where stated , the only thing that could show I was dependent was dad sponsoring and probably same residential address shikena. hope this helps @Uwosom Uwosom: |

From the recent trend, Online Applications seem more efficient in processing time and effective in terms of approvals, as compared to paper from mid year 2019, so if you are considering applying , you may want to try this route. (Please this is all my personal opinion, and can be wrong) Documents submitted for Visit visa (online application) Family/group application (3 people) Primary Applicant: *Travel history (shenghen, Valid US visa, S.A, etc) *All border and visa stamps scanned in last 10yrs. *Passport biopage *forms filled, (family info IMM5645, use of fam rep. Imm5713,) since he has never been denied the optional form wasn't needed. *Marriage certificate *Digital photo according to requirements *Purpose of travel( accomodation and flight booking 2weeks, Note: this two should complement each other, the day you land should be the day your accomodation booking starts, and the day you plan to check out should be your return or take off date. book return ticket oo, and you don't have to pay for these, they are dummy bookings) *proof of relationship (my siblings birth certificate ) *Invitation letter (From my sibling, basically a letter of explanation inviting us to his graduation, attached with this is his study permit, transcript, school letter of completion, passport biopage) *Proof of Funds (Note: in the invitation letter it was stated the primary applicant will sponsor us all) Bank letter showing no debts and funds are readily available, 6months Bank statement, 4months pay slip, letter of introduction from employer, treasury bills) *Additional docs( one landed property, Family picture colour scanned labeling our names with a pen) Spouse: *Required forms were filled *Credentials and id card scanned *travel history (UK, West Africa) *Visa and border stamps all scanned of last 10yrs *Digital photo Myself: *Travel history (UK only )*Digital photo *Required forms were filled *Supporting docs, (personal landed property, credentials, birth certificate *Visa and border stamps all scanned of last 10yrs Shikena....  i was the representative, but dad was the primary applicant and sponsor, so mum and I didn't submit any account statement or proof of funds. The marriage certificate ties parents together and my birth certificate is the link to their union, My ties to naija seemed to be featherweight as compared to ties to canada and this is not good so I submitted my personal landed property. No letter of explanation was submitted from any of us, just my siblings invitation. Hope this helps some one out there just as I got help here too.... my prayer is all those that applied here be favoured , Amen.. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Did you submit BVL ? BVL is not for submission oo, it's for our personal records. it's the passport request letter that you submit... As for copies of passport, you should have used the ones you took back after biometrics As for hello, nairaland no get pisho , lol.makylove101: |

Thanks so much Maky, can you imagine, I also submitted today, so that's how we probably passed ourselves without knowing. I submitted all 3 passports, and yes no payment( for online application) Let me share the requirements so that other people won't worry and search the whole internet like I did.... Docs required for passport submission *Passport request letter *Consent form *application print out reciept issued after biometrics collection, attached with photocopy of passport biopage *Passport document A yellow print out reciept will be issued to be used for collection. makylove101: 2 Likes 1 Share |
