Has anyone who applied for visits visa online in August received " Eligibility review started?"

paper or online application?

I have same question for September applicants.

Hi gurus, please how long does it take after biometrics has been completed for "Review of eligibility " to commence?

And how long does "review of eligibility" take to complete ?

Asking for visit visa.....
Online application....

Hi guys I have some questions

1. if one gets a visitors visa and doesn't use it are there consequences ?
2. if one gets a visitors visa and travels, is it wrong to decide to apply for work permit over there?

Mrskay2017:
Hello guys, I finally received my application and my visa was denied as well as my husband's too, but there was no paper explaining the reasons for the refusal, please how do I go about getting a reason for the refusal,
Thanks

Sorry to hear, Request for your GCMS note for details of the refusal.

July applicant and still waiting.

online or paper application?

Anita171:
Good day all,

Please how do I check to know when eligibility/background review has started?

You login to your CIC account and check for it I.e if you applied online,

But as for paper applications am not sure.

hope this helps

For compression I used the link below,

Use the above of your file if its in pdf format.

I don't think it's wise to upload a document to another opening, it can confuse the VO and delay application.

I hope this helps.

Hi guys please in signing the "Family information" imm5645e form (printed to be scanned and uploaded) is it real signature required or just to fill in "full name of applicant" alongside date?

Abubuyaya:
No please. NYSC doesn't qualify. Have 2 approved visas where we have chosen No there without incidence.

Thanks so much @everyone

1. Paper or Online application, which is quickest to catch up the date. Try Paper.However, I expect processing times to drop

2. Is medical exam and biometrics a must take for this visa? Yes to biometrics ages 14 to 79. No medical exam

3. How many months usually given for graduation purpose ?Depends on the VO

4. My job was on contract and is currently over January, does this in anyway limit my chance of the visa? Truthfully? Yes.

5. if the biometrics or medical exam is compulsory for visitors please where do I go for this? For biometrics, VFS Canada locations in Abuja or Lagos.

6. If am applying online, is there provision for father,mother and son on same purpose applying all at once or they are seperate accounts needed for 3 of us? No Separate account needed. Use this tool to generate the required documents

7. last trip was the UK for study 2014, never been denied.Travel history is a positive factor

8. should I make my purpose dynamic incase the graduation is too short to meet up ,so if so, what other reasons can we give so as to atleast get the visas and celebrate with my brother incase the processing time cuts us short. Multipurpose? Like tourism? Sure. You just have to convince the VO that you are a genuine tourist.

What are my chances generally ? Asses your eligibility.

@NothingDoMe

Thanks a bunch, you are indeed a life saver, the tool link you sent me via No 6 was awesome. However, I decided to go with online application as it seems so easy and convenient for me.
I have begun my application and I met certain unsure stops.

On the the two screenshots attached, one talks about a representative for the application, Please what is the best option as we are three, myself and parents, and am the one in charge of applications but dad is the sponsor.

Also the second screenshot got me confused, our purpose is to attend my brothers graduation, visit visa tourism or visit visa All other types ?

Thanks

Good morning all, I am very humble and happy to join this forum and I hope and trust you all will all assist me where you can with information as I will when needed.

I have skimmed through the thread a little and my main purpose is to find out the following below as I and my parents wish to apply for a visit visa to Canada for my kid bros graduation come October 24th 2019. The school invite came today so we are short of time as compared to the processing time 72days.
