Good evening everyone,

I went on missionary journey in the year 2017. It was a medical visa. The visa has expired since April 2019. I have been scared to go for renewal because of the news about denial because of cheap bills.

Please what has been happening as regards that? How have people been renewing these days?

Thank you very much.

granmurdafucker:
How much is their charges to order for gcms please share with me. Thanks

I think $18. You can confirm from their website.

Please any June applicant, online route still waiting?

Please house I’m really confused and I don’t know what to do
My dad gave my uncle some money to give to an agent he knows to start processing my TRV and so far he has sent 120k to him, since 20th May o, we first sent 100k and later 20k for medicals and I know there’s nothing like that but my dad waved it Since then till now I’ve not done my biometrics and I’ve been disturbing my dad for that because I don’t have the agent’s number neither does my dad because my uncle is the middle man between the agent and us, last week my dad said the agent said when it’s time for biometrics I’ll come over to Lagos, biko I don’t understand why it’s taking too long for the biometrics and na paper application. I’m not allowing my dad to pay a dime till I go for my biometrics because we are to balance him 680k total of 800k and I warned them not to stamp any rubbish on my passport till I go for my biometrics..

Secondly my dad’s business partner said we should try and collect my passport from them so he can get me a UK visa since he’s traveling to UK in November, he wants to take me along with him,

My Questions now are:

First, my TRV application is a paper application according to the agent, how long does it take to submit biometrics after submitting the application because it’s four months now and nothing yet,

Secondly, should I wait to submit my biometrics or request for my passport back and go ahead with UK visa

My problem no be money it’s time wasted because I’m ready to wait for my TRV till anytime it’s approved because he said it’s gonna be approved we should just give him time but I don’t wanna end up waiting and miss the UK opportunity ���� if I had given my biometrics I’ll be calm

Landers I need una help oooo

If I were you, I will run so fast. Advise your dad not to give him a dime again. It's obvious you can't get what you have paid back. Collect your passport from him. Most of the agents use fake documents...you don't want to lose your future travel opportunities

As per UK, I'm not sure tagging along with your uncle as an adult looks good enough for a strong application though. Just my thoughts.

granmurdafucker:
Yea, I will go with third party website, you have idea how much it will cost?? Please share with me. I know the first option is 5canadian dollars

I know of applygcms.

pufframmy:
u yet to get reply since

I'm yet to.

granmurdafucker:
@pointednose its paper application, i applied july 22nd did biomatric same day....

Alright, thanks

granmurdafucker:
Alright thank you plenty for your fast respond.. Also, someone I summited with told me our passport is ready for collection.. Don't know how true, I was planning to go and check at VFS tomorrow. What do you think?

Did you do online or paper application? And when did you apply please?

Day 73 - Finally got an update
QTE
I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements. All new applications must be accompanied by a new processing fee.
UNQTE

Gave a detailed LOE showing a day to day itinerary breakdown, even purchased Tourist reservation(Toronto City Pass) worth $72.73 , Hotel reservation and flight reservation all in good order. The honest truth is i legit wanted to go for vacation purposes only so i'm irked.

First Application was rejected due to Family ties ,Second Application rejected due to Purpose of visit , I'm officially done with Canada, will focus on my US visa renewal only going forward

Many Thanks for all your help

So sorry about this.

This people Sha!

IamR:

He applied in June, got response last week Monday.

Ok

IamR:

My brother got second refusal too.

Reasons for first refusal:

Travel history
Purpose of visit

Reasons for second refusal:

Travel history: he has only being to east African countries.

Purpose of visit: the conference was postponed till next year. We are not sure if the consular knew that the conference would be postponed during the visa processing. The conference organizers sent a letter to him that the conference has been postponed a week after visa refusal.

Finance: he submitted statement of account of 10 million naira and treasury bills certificate of 25 million naira.

Asset: he submitted 8 landed properties worth 80 million naira.

Sorry about that.

When did he apply and when did he get the response?

pufframmy:
Application Denied 2nd Application fed-up already

So sorry about that.

What were their reasons this time? Same as previous application?

Did you get gcms notes before applying again?

pufframmy:
pls check your PM

I have responded

Candybright:

But its 2months and about one week because biometrics was done on 21st

That's true.

Just checked my profile and saw that eligibility review has started.

I didn't receive any email notification regarding the application update.

@pufframmy and other June applicants, any update yet? God's favor is with us.

jayfierce:

Someone pasted email address for all the processing locations a few pages back on this blog so i just copied it and emailed all

Please can someone repost these email addresses. Thanks

My passport expires in March 2020. My travel date has passed already. With the way these guys are so slow with processing. How many months validity will they give me like this?

BOmum:
Today makes mine exactly 75days of reapplying and no response yet.Eligibility review changed after 50days when i sent them emails but nothing since then

Wow! What's happening?

Please which email address did you send the message to?

FYsol:
This guys can be so snail-like. I finally got my passport back today. My timeline

Passport Request: July 16
Passport Submitted: July 29

A whooping 5 months to process a simple TRV

It's the 60th day today. Online application. June applicant. No update still.

bibiliscious:


Finally Day 57 (Applied 24th June ) checked my TRV application status via GCKey and saw that my eligibility review has commenced (No email notification was sent).

"Review of eligibility Help - Review of eligibility"
We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
"Background check Help - Background check"
We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

Hopeful to get a favorable response .. Anyone knows how long it'll take from Eligibility review to final decision? and for all June applicants have your status also changed ?

Hoping for the best.

JDQueen:

pufframmy:

Amen o

That means paper route is faster than online route.

bibiliscious:


@NothingDome I understand cz i dont get what incentives they are referring to, but still highly doubt they'll know of my fiance as we never mention names but my fiance will be re-applying this week and he will mention my name . Hopefully it wont affect my chances as i am currently on Day 52 as at today awaiting eligibility review.

My Biometrics status online is below
Biometrics Help - Biometrics
We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.

Talking about wiping info. In my gcms notes, they actually wiped off an info I clearly didn't put in my application and the person who reviewed my application implied it.

I didn't know it's a common occurrence.

bibiliscious:
Finally Got my GCMS notes 47days after . Please can someone explain what this is . I was rejected due to family ties but I expected more details than what was advised and also pls who knows the reason for them quoting my hotel accommodation and tour guide details. Thanks in advance

Which page did you screenshot. The summary of the reason(s) for refusals is usually on the last page. From what you posted, the reasons are not there.

I submitted my application 26th June, and my status is still same as yours.

Let's hope for the best.

Just as someone said above, that the longer it takes ,the likelihood one will be granted. I really hope that's true and it's not because of the long processing time these days.

pointednose:
[/quote][quote author=FYsol post=81192524]I have read from this platform people getting passport request even after the event has passed. I am a living example although when I noticed my initial date has passed, I booked another related appointment and I attached it using case specific web form. So if your event is flexible, you can do same. IRCC accesses your admissibility beyond your present trip. Their focus is to be sure there is a higher tie back home that will be taking you out of their country every time you visit. ABOVE IS MY MERE THOUGHT

Please how can I assess this case-specific webform?

Happy holiday house! Please can someone throw light on this processing time question. When I applied it was 45days now it showing 64days. Thank you all

It will be a pleasure if someone is kind enough to respond to it.

Hello,

I am aware that processing time for TRVs is getting longer in recent times, but does it change the processing times that one was given when applying?

bibiliscious:


Thanks, all the emails from them gotten from Mon - Wednesday were generic response messages. I've checked each one by one as well as my spam but nothing. hopefully they response asap. How many days did it take for your GCMS notes to be sent to you ?

I think about 30 days cos I didn't see it when it was sent
