+1 (888) 242-2100, but the call was not helpful because most visit visa’s are treated outside Canada so the agent was unable to view my profile

Hi Classicswagz,

Have you recently checked your profile in the last few days?

If yes, what is the status? What is your Eligibility saying?

Check these before going ahead with a new application.

Regards,

Good evening house , please I have a question and I would really appreciate a response.

I applied for visitors Visa on October 14th 2021 . I have requested any and every type of forms and emails you can think about, a friend in Canada also helped contact her province member of parliament yet no positive response .
1) Now please I want to know if I can apply for PR through WES despite my first application is for Visitors Visa
2) I also want to know if I should withdraw the former application on the old portal or leave it and continue the new application.

I would appreciate a response from anyone who has the idea please. Thanks.

Hello, Good evening everyone.

I applied for visit visa, and i got an approval and i have submitted my passport to VFS.

Please how long does it take for vfs to return my passport?

And again, for those that has travelled using visit/tourist visa, what questions does immigration officers ask at the airport.

Please i need answer/help.

Thanks.

Hi,
Congratulations on your approval, when was it approved and where did you apply from?

To your questions, it takes from days to some weeks before your passport is returned to you depending on your location.

Secondly, you will be asked some basic questions like;

Where are you coming from?
Where are you traveling to / Why are you here?
What will you be doing?

How long do you intend to stay? (In this case your return ticket might be requested).

If you are visiting someone you might be asked if the person knows you are coming, if you are a tourist your hotel reservation(s) might be asked, ensure this corresponds with your return ticket.

In some cases you can be very lucky and no question(s) will be asked.

Thanks for your response.

I applied from Turkey and it was approved on 7th of March. The waiting period was 1months and 22days

Okay good,

Could you share what your timeline was in full including your travel histories so some other can learn and use that as a guide.

When did you get your biometric instructions letter?

MightyRance:




I have only travelled to Turkey

I think he has done the biometrics before, maybe in a previously made application(s).

That explains why it’s not showing on the dashboard

You applied canada study visa last year and it was refused and now you applied visitor visa ?

kennyjoy:


Your agent apply for visitor visa for you and your baby. Sowp application start with W.

Thanks sir, can two applications fly at the same time also should I hold for this outcome or I should tell him to submit sowp for me . Because with the information I'm seeing here I think visiting takes longer then swop

House34:

Yes, i applied for Study visa previously and was denied.

I already did my biometrics in 2022

Please I have a question. I submitted my application last week then on Monday I received a mail that they are reviewing my eligibility. But my medicals and my biometrics hasn't been updated . Even my background check is saying they are processing it . Please what does this mean as I'm going for may intake.

Just to point out a correction… It’s is New Zealand and not Netherlands among the Five Country Conference also known as FVEY that share immigration information.

olasubomy:


info sharing - In Progress - These implies the 5 partner countries ( Canada, UK, Australia, Netherlands &United States) are exchanging information about you. This is a normal security routine check done on prospective immigrants coming into their country either temporarily or permanently. They make use of biometrics details ( which has data of the applicant) and share these with their partners. This is the stage where they detect an applicant that has violated any law, committed a crime, overstayed, denied or given a ban etc.

FCC comprises the above mentioned countries. But, I cant see any issue on your GCMS notes, it is just their normal internal security reviews.

Dear Flower222,

I applied for the same Visiting Visa on June 30, 2022, and still waiting on their response. There is no strategy to this except, patience. IRCC treats applications on a case-by-case basis, hence, difficult to compare. Some might have some advantage over others, like, having a US Visa, running or expired for example. Going by what the estimated processing time from Nigeria is as of date, your application is still a toddler! . Just make sure your application is tight and in line with requirements, wait patiently, and pray if you roll that way! It will end in praise.

Hello,

Are you referring to a study Permit or Visiting Visa? It seems you are referring to a student study permit from your information. Regardless, medicals might not reflect on your account until 30 days after or until your application is finalized depending on whether you did the medicals upfront or you did afterward. If you applied last week Monday, I am assuming you did medicals upfront. If you did medicals upfront, I want to assume you already uploaded your result via web form. However, congratulations ahead! there is a high chance you passed the medicals if your eligibility has started.

Hello,

Normally, Multiple applications filed by the same client often cause difficulties in processing, resulting in confusion for the client and the local office, and increased status inquiries to the Call Centre. When an applicant submits more than one application before an earlier application is formerly finalized, CIC must determine whether the later application should be processed at the same time as the earlier application is being finalized. If you’re applying for a work permit, and your family members want to come to Canada, they must also apply to visit or work or study in Canada. They can apply at the same time as you.CIC has an obligation to avoid duplication of work or unnecessary costs in the processing of an application. They specifically mentioned that, unless a client specifically requests CIC to process two or more applications at the same time, all applications will be held by CIC until processing on the initial application is completed. This means you are allowed to submit the 2 applications running together, you only need to specify. I will perhaps advise that you use the new portal for 1 and the secure portal for the other. Applicants are encouraged to submit new applications only if they have new facts or evidence.

Lest I forget, seeing that what you originally wanted is a spousal open work permit instead of Visiting Visa, an alternative option is to put the Visiting Visa application on hold while you push forward on the SOWP. as of this morning, the processing time on SOWP is 25 weeks from Nigeria while that of Visiting Visa is 359 days. If you do not wish to withdraw the VV application, you can choose which application is processed first. A note will be put on the other application and the local office or the CPC-S will hold it pending the outcome of the chosen application.
If the application is successful, the application on hold will be designated "incomplete", the file retired and the appropriate fees returned.
If the application is unsuccessful, the suspended application is released from hold and processing continued.
The client should be instructed to advise CIC if their application is unsuccessful in order to ensure that their second application is released from hold and processed promptly. I hope this answers your question.

Hello,

Applications are processed in the order of receipt. Processing usually takes 15 business days from receipt by the Embassy of a complete application and may take longer during peak times and in exceptional circumstances. This estimate excludes the shipping of applications to the Embassy and the return of passports to applicants.

With respect to the second question, there is a correspondence letter that will come after you have been issued the counterfoil. it includes information with respect to what to bring with you when coming to Canada on a study permit for example. I believe VV will also have something like that. However, the basic thing you should at least have will be proof of financial capability to sustain yourself during the declared period in Canada, if you have paid hotel, and sightseeing paid details, you should present that as well. If you have been given a leave letter from work which is part of what you probably used for your application, you might also want to come with it.

Anyone with exact experience should share.
