Congratulations Adesinm and safe travels.

Did you keep sending mails even after nairobi responded or you just waited it out? Received the same email a couple of days ago too.

Thank you


No I didn't send any mail after the response, I just waited it out.

Please did you apply with the general GC Key sign in or through the portal? Response to this is quite vital please.

I applied using the new IRCC portal

I sent a web form withdrew my application June 1st because of the long processing time been waiting since last year .

However I received BVL like a week ago , but no other information , my application is still showing

“Your application is in progress.”

Is this normal ?

Has anyone experienced this ?

Please can explain to me if you withdraw your application do you get any correspondence from them ? How do you know if your application has been successfully withdrawn?

Please I’m still awaiting your response. It would really help. Was your application done with the new portal or the GC key sign-in ?

Guys my children visa application just got approved two weeks ago. They are minors (age 2 and 4 years) I sent their passport and original passport request letter to Abuja but it was returned. Please what do I need to add for them to stamp it?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by purplish(f): 5:27pm On Jun 20, 2022
PPR!

Submitted May 23rd 2022
PPR today June 20th 2022

I didn't send any emails or web forms.

My application was to attend a (paid) conference in July and I applied through the new portal. I have been previously issued a Canadian visa and I have a valid US visa which I included in my application.

Please can you advise where would be faster to send my passport, Abuja or Lagos? Also, as my biometrics from a few years ago is still valid, I am not very clear about how much to pay and documents to send in. Those who know, kindly clarify. Thanks!

Hello Peeps,

Please I am having problems completing my application, keep getting a message that pdf version is outdated. I have downloaded latest version of Adobe and tried from various browsers. Did anyone else have this problem and how was it resolved?

So if you have spent 180CAD on the GC key sign-in, they expect you to spend an additional 100CAD to re-apply on the new portal?

But this’s unfair na….

If anybody who used GC key sign-in in recent time has gotten passport request within 3 months, please signify…plix��� Bikonu…give us some hope…

…Before we spend another 100 CAD

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Letuspraytogod: 12:26am On Jun 21, 2022
PLEASE I NEED A RESPONSE IM BEGGING


Letuspraytogod:
PLEASE CAN I SEND EMAIL TO ALL THE MP’s in MANITOBA?
I can see it’s not just one person. CAN I EMAIL ALL OF THEM? Maybe if they all write to IRCC, they’d know I’m not playing too abi?
I’m just confused since October 2021.


Or should I re apply using the new portal? I’m just being skeptical cus I have been waiting for almost 9 months while hoping a decision will come in anytime.

I do not want to re apply and go stay on the queue again starting from the beginning. Please what should I do?

I wouldn’t lie to you. I don’t know how to do all these things. I really wish I could navigate and find my way around it.
I’m so stressed at this point



zennez:


Hi, was this application done through the old portal? If yes, my suggestion would be that you reapply using the new portal.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by olasubomy: 10:08am On Jun 21, 2022
Letuspraytogod:
I’m actually very sad. Nothing makes sense.

Biometrics since October 2021 and nothing yet from IRCC.
No medical instructions nothing nothing. I refresh my email every 30 minutes now hoping for a good news. Nothing.
What’s with the hold up?
Without this, there’s no hope for PPR.

Am I the only one going through this? Please help!!!

PS; I applied using the old portal. I haven’t re applied using the new portal cus I applied after September 7th.
I started my application October.

I am not sure what is causing processing delays on your application as I don't know your profile, but I would implore you to try to relax. You might need to weigh your options; if the travel intent is not urgent, I will encourage you to apply via the new IRCC portal. At the same time, these guys can come up with a decision anytime, so one can't tell since we do not know their internal workings.

Before applying on the new portal, can you apply for your GCMS notes to see where they are now or have you already done so? While you await the feedback on your GCMS notes, can you keep sending them emails and web forms as your application is passed standard processing times?

Don't limit the emails to Nairobi alone, including London, Lagos and Abuja. Some MPs don't do much, so I would advise you not to put all your hopes on them. But you can still try to follow up with them since they are yet to get back to you.

Finally, I would advise when you send MP mails or IRCC, let the tone of your mail not depict desperation, but a true intent or need to visit or make it a little compassionate.

It is well!

Hello fam. My sister applied for a visit visa for my mom, today makes it 3 months and my sister called MP to intervene, after few hours MP office called my sister back, that she applied for a supervisa. How long does it take to process a super-visa?

Again, my sister submitted insurance covering 50k dollars, I was told she supposed to pay for insurance covering 100k, can this be changed? would they deny her because of the insurance?

Please help with my question for those who have experience with super visa
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by purespikes: 7:49pm On Jun 21, 2022
Hello people. I need proper advise on the category of Canada visa I should apply for.

My wife and kids were recently issued Canadian study visas. She's due to start her studies early September, 2022.

The plan is for her to go alone and settle down before I join her with the kids, hiven that we have a child that is 5 years old.(we have 3 kids aged 11,9and 5)

However, I am yet to apply for any for any Canadian visa and I am confused as to the category of visa I should apply for. This is bearing in mind that I used myself as their home ties while applying for their visas.

My case is more peculiar, considering that I intend to also proceed to Cyprus on studies. However, my program could be done online, so I can be in Canada with my family.

Based on the foregoing, I need your help regarding how best I should approach my application to get my visa at the earliest possible time.

Thank you
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by JesusBabyyy: 8:01pm On Jun 21, 2022
Yes it was a family application applied on the 1st April. Got it Ppr on June 16th

It was a renewal for my mum and first time for my pops. So I applied for both using my mom’s profile, i hope that helps

Good evening everyone.

I have been following messages here for a couple of months and this is my first time posting.

Please it is possible to reach out to IRCC using another email address linked with GCKey or application? I have been waiting for a decision on my visit visa application since February 22, 2021, when I did biometrics. No decision till now on the application according to the agent that helped to submit my application. She always told me application status is In Progress.

I do not have access to the GCKey username and password and she refused to release these details to me.

I have my application number and UCI. Can I send IRCC mail quoting my application number and other details with another email address?

I will like to know the reason for the delay because this stuff is long overdue.

Pls, your advice will go a long way.

Thanks.
