It's not a bad idea to renew your passport as you had received a passport request from the immigration. The visa will be issued on the new passport while the old passport will be cancelled without prejudice. Passport Renewal takes an average of 6 weeks. I don't believe you will be able to meet up with the 30 days stipulated timeframe given by IRCC to submit your passport. I will recommend you consider advising them in writing if the new one passport is not available.


It will end in praise

As of July 6, the backlog of permanent residence applications had skyrocketed by 70 per cent to 375,137 since February 2020, with the number of applications for temporary residence currently sitting at 702,660 cases.

The backlog of citizenship applications has also ballooned: it’s reached 369,677 people from 208,069 over the same period. These numbers do not include the applications that have been received at the mailroom of immigration offices but which have yet to be entered into the system.

These guys are really in the busiest period in their immigration history.

then they should allow Nigeria process our student visas not Kenya. Share the application to less busy countries

lawfree638:


I feel same too but even Kenya (Nairobi) does not totally or rather have control over a single application.

For instance, an application case analyst or junior V.O is in Nairobi, the 'said' Senior V.O of your application is in second office (London or Windsor).

So if the case analyst has done his/her part, it will remain the SVO. That's why you see some GCMS note, eligibility passed or recommend interview will wait for days or weeks even months before a final verdict is released.

The process is just too decentralised hence the delay. We hope they remedy it soon enough.

Legacyedition:



Wow. No wonder my secondary office changed after eligibility started..

lekefelix:
Dear All, please who can help me order GCMS notes? I need help please!!!

lawfree638:


In a recent GCMS notes I saw, application was transferred to different office 15 times due to workload (stated on the note) - May till July 20th.

During this period, many secondary offices will change. The primary office is constant except on rare occasions.

Our prayers is that we will share a testimony of success in this process. As I have been saying; There's a God factor in this process whether you acknowledge or not.

Jioke1994:
Hi everyone!
Nice job here.
I'm impressed.
Pls, I nees a response from the gurus @frankrobbn @ shuppy and others, in fact, everyone.
I've been refused, anf I plan to reapply asap.
My mum's acct is 10m.
I have 4 big brothers, and 2 baby sisters.
The 4 brothers are business men, 2 sisters recently finished their university education.
3 among the brothers are not in good terms with my mum. I mean they don't talk for the past 3 yrs. 2 baby sisters also don't value my mum.
So, should I explain that in my SOP?
With 10m in mum's acct, is it okay for the application, considering the fact that I have 2 baby sisters which the VO might consider still under my mum.
Now, the eldest and the 3rd are taking care of the 2 sisters in lagos. The second guy is in good terms with mum. The fourth is not.
How do I prove that the 2 sisters are no longer in my mum's care?
Remember, I've paid my tuition deposit of 8160 cad.
Remember, due to the ongoing predicament in my family, I cannot provide proof that my sisters are done with their university education.
Tnx in advance for your response.

Ketima:


Is true. In my note, it was 12times if am not mistaken. From Nairobi to London to china to Nairobi and back to China and bla bla bla back and forth. But the funny thing about it is that, after all the travel that my application did, eligibility never even start.

Is just funny but then I strongly believe it will surely end in praises for all of us. Amen.

lawfree638:


Is your eligibility blank on the note?

If it's blank you can also know by checking the notes & verification pages to see if any action as regards eligibility has occurred. "Notes" on GCMS note could be like 4-5 actions (one or two is always pointing to eligibility). At times, the first page might be blank and eligibility has started.

Ketima:


Yes sir.

First page eligibility and pre-assessment both blank, but all others are either completed or passed.

As for the bolded, don't know because have read through the whole pages. Saw notes on medicals. For info sharing, saw countries it was shared with. But as regards to eligibility, can't remember seeing anything mentioning eligibility except for the blank first Page.

Even the MBS I submitted through webform and email that no acknowledgement mail was sent, I saw it there.

lawfree638:


Look for the heading - "Verification"

And also check the the last 2 or 3 pages for "note"

RollyA:
So I duno if it’s allowed here but I don’t intend to break the rules.

I felt I can share what I gained. I recently listened to an Instagram live discussion on KSA’s page with an ex-VO, Annie who is now an immigration consultant.

It was helpful as I was able to see through the eyes of a typical visa officer. Even though their views may vary as everyone is different. it was insightful hearing from the other side and what she generally thinks about the high visa refusals from Nigeria.

See link if you wish to watch and if the link is not accessible, go to KSAs page and search for the interview he had with Anie.
