Toecyn:
Hello All, I submitted a Visit Visa Application on the 6th March 2020. My passport was returned in December 2020 with a note that my application is still under review and my passport will be requested once that is done. Has anyone here gotten a visa approval within this time frame? Do I really need to follow up on the application? Are they still treating backlog as far back as last year Feb-Mar?

What's the update

Motheexplorer:
Hi Everyone,

I literally just found out about this request for authorization to travel and a little bit of hope has been restored. I have a pending application since November 2020 and I fall under the extended family exempt category. My brother lives in Canada with his family and my daughter is also Canadian. I’ll be sending in my application this week using all the tips I’ve read here and will update on how it goes. I’ve seen that apart from the notarized statutory declaration, my birth certificate and my brothers & perhaps a quarantine plan will also help my application? Is there anything else I’m missing outside the usual (Biodata page, drivers license etc?) Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they give a positive response.

Horlamidei:
My mom is set to apply for her canada pr. She has me and my junior sister in all her documents as her only 2children, no family member with her in ontario Canada where she stays. She works and stays alone.

I will clock 29years this December which I think makes me above the age of been a dependent child.

Her worries now is how to get me and my other sibling to Canada.

Please is there anyway or pathway to migrate to join her as am still battling with this ielts stuff??!

I even asked her if there's anyway she can process me to get a pr as she has already declared me and my sister has the only children and family member she has.

Please, any way or pathway even if na visitation sef??

Express entry

I want anyone that's experienced traveling to Canada through Air France or KLM,

I want to ask if I would need a Transit Visa when traveling to Canada using those airlines?

Transit visa not needed if travelling to Canada or America using the two airlines mentioned.

They said a couple of documents were not uploaded “authorization form” & “status of Canadian family member” so my application could not be processed. Which is weird as we used the web form and crossed checked everything. I’ve done a fresh application, submitted via mail this time and hopefully it’s sorted soon. However, my husband got his. His sister has PR & he applied just like me using her as his extended family member.

Entire process & timing:
Submitted 26th July: application authorization to travel + visa expedition
Response August 23rd: Visa approval
Passport delivered august 26th: to the VFS in Abuja via DHL w a return envelope.
Passport pick up September 3rd: DHL Abuja
Total process took about 5 weeks from start to finish.

Please someone who is not fully vaccinated can't apply?

[quote author=zigzig post=105674993][/quote]

Unvaccinated people can surely apply

Help! My cousin recently got his visa to Canada based on the family exemptions. It is urgent that he travels this September, but he he isn't fully vaccinated yet, he has only had the first dose. Is there any way he can travel without being fully vaccinated? Is there a way to get the "vaccine card" in lagos just for the trip/

I’m sure there’s a way, after all, this is Lagos.
That said, please don’t do this.
You’d be putting other people at risk and you will spend some time in prison or pay a significant fine if you’re caught.
Please don’t do this!
Just admit that you’ve only had one dose of the vaccine and prepare to quarantine at your home for 14 days.
You don’t have to do the 3 day mandatory hotel stopover anymore.
You just need to quarantine at your home for 14 days.
Please don’t lie to government authorities or perpetuate fraud.
Don’t do it!

UPDATE!!
If you applied before September 7, 2021, and you already told us that you qualify for a COVID-19 exemption

You do not need to submit a new application or write to us again.

We’ll process the application you submitted before September 7, 2021.

It doesn’t matter if you applied via the IRCC Portal, via your IRCC secure account, or on paper.

We’ll send you an email if we need more information from you or when we reach a decision.
