Good morning fam,
I am also frustrated with the waiting game and I think I’ll start sending emails every week. I’ve sent 4 web forms and got two responses(standard).

Here is my timeline:

Visitor’s visa application submission: June 16, 2022(via the new portal).

Biometrics: May 2019(when I did my first study permit application which was denied due to insufficient funds in my account). The biometrics and UCI was linked to my application after my online submission.

Raised the first web form: July 17, 2022.
Got a standard response: August 4, 2022

Raised the second web form: September 19, 2022.
Raised the third web form: October 14, 2022
Raised the fourth web form: October 20, 2022.
Got a standard response for the October 14th web form: October 22, 2022.

I’ll start sending emails now instead of web forms.

You need to be patient with IRCC, they like to take thier time

All these webforms will be mentioned in your GCMS notes and whoever picks your application will see it as desperation since it's a visit visa.

I guess you will hear from them soon because I applied in may and my application has just being treated.

I wish you the best .

My brother got his decision envelope today. He applied in February via paper route. A note was in the decision envelope that says something like “we are aware that you might need your passport for emergency travel, we have decided to return your passport but we are still processing your application. Once we need a passport we would request that you submit your passport at the VFS office”

At last, I got my passport from VFS. The slip from Canadian Embassy says" Your application is still in progress while your passport is being returned to you. You will be required to resubmit your passport if required. "
After 10 months. It's well.

What other good countries can one apply to please?

JustBB:
Hello gurus in the house.

I submitted my visitors application since May till now I have not heard from them.

Kindly advise me on what next to do

QSola:


I submitted for FIL since April, we just got validity of biometrics yesterday. I pray it's passport request next. Hang in there

obinwanne:
Thanks for the advice and info. I really appreciate.
Actually, I got an admission offer in the U.K. which was suppose to commence next month, I included the offer letter in the application and in one or two of the web forms, I attached the receipt of my tuition fee deposit. The plan was to visit and spend 2 weeks with my girlfriend who already has her Canadian visa and is coming from the U.S. and then come back to prepare for my program which starts next month. Their delay is affecting my plans and I have to defer the admission until next year.

Cityboy123:
Please guys, I applied for a canada visit visa to attend a conference on the old portal since 2020. Since I didn’t get any response, I reapplied again for visit visa in February this year using the New portal.

In August i tried to withdrew/cancel my application because have already left the country. Today i got Biometrics Validity Letter but the Eligibility ain’t started yet. Do I still have hope for PPL or something?
Many thanks

Applicants receive bvl for withdrawal of application too..
