Visit visa approved!

I have been encouraged by people's stories and feedback on the thread and decided that I would share mine when the time was right.

I applied for a TRV together with my toddler on February 5, 2022 using the new portal. My biometric details was still valid since I did biometrics in 2018, so I just waited after submission for the outcome. I was honestly waiting for 3 months because I noticed from the thread that mostly people with immediate family (parents, spouses, children) received feedback early.

April 4, 2022, I received the BVL and PPR letter for my toddler and I.

I'm just really thankful to God because I was so unsure of what the outcome would be. I was refused twice in 2018 and 2019 when I applied for a TRV disclosing my intention to birth in Canada. I was refused about the same time twice at the US embassy when i applied for a B2 visa, and the 2 embassies have some form of access and share records. My guess is for the previous Canadian refusals, I didn't provide sufficient information to support my application whatever the purpose of visit was.

This time, I just applied for a TRV to visit my brother and his wife who are PRs. I also used an agent based in Canada. Now, I can't guarantee that this resulted in the success of the application, but it could have helped.

My takeaway: documentation is key. Include as much information to show that you have ties to Nigeria that you can't sever (including financial, family, work etc) and so you have to return. Oh and travel history helps too, although I think the former helps more, because when I was refused previously, I had a robust travel history which spanned countries in Europe, America, Asia, UAE and others in Africa.

Sorry for the long write up, I just thought it would encourage someone. Goodluck to everyone waiting for a response. It will end well.

Good morning everyone and congrats to the PPR recipients.

My mom travelled from Ondo state to Lagos to submit her passport and was denied entry at the gate. She was told she has to use courier services.

Please can anyone confirm if this is true because it doesn’t make sense and she’s currently unavailable on phone, looking for solution.

deeteeneey:
Yes, it is true. Passport submission is done via courier services (DHL or UPS).

She should request the courier service to do drop off and pick up (final destination should be her home address in Ondo) for her. I've seen cases where DHL will only pickup from VFS to their office and one will need to go and collect PP in DHL office.

I'll advise since she's in Lagos, she should go to the nearest office to her location to courier it.

Are you asking a question?

ami213:
Yes, you can but it can only be requested by some who lives in Canada. Get a resident to request it on their behalf. It cost 5 cad!
