You need to register each child and use the email used during their applications, they should have their own trackers and Visa details on tracker.

Emmafe:
Just order n hope they deliver on time. I ordered from a paid website since Jan 2, I’ve not received till now. I used the ATIP free service and got response within a month. I tried using the atip again, close to 2 months no response.

Paid websites
https://www.thegcmsonline.com/
https://gcmsnotes.com/

Free service
- Go to Google, search ATIP
- Pick the first option from the list of results
- when the page opens, click on next
- click/mark the privacy box and click continue
- on the next page, select Canada Border Services Agency from the drop-down
- from the next drop-down, select foreign national outside of Canada
- fill out your required information in the boxes below
(Use your Nigerian address and phone number pls)
- Pick yes to the question about requesting information on your behalf if so
- pick member of the public for the category that best describes you
- Pick electronic copy for how you prefer to receive your notes/records
- click continue
- on the next page, pick privacy act on the 1st drop-down
- select English in the next drop-down
- select case files for the type of records
- fill out all necessary information below(for UCI number, use the format XX-XXXX-XXXX)
- in the comment box write a short intro and your request. Eg:
Hello/Hi
My name is SURNAME, First Second. I have applied for a study permit, my UCI is soso and my application number is soso, DOB. I would like to have the notes for my file
- then click continue
- also click continue on the next page(you don't fill anything here)
- you are taken to the final page where you review or edit your info
- check the I certify box and click continue
- you should receive a confirmation email from CBSA

I was not requested to pay for my CBSA notes and I got my notes in 25days, but I think the window is till 30days.

If you received just one mail, it’s bvl not ppr. You’ll receive another mail for ppr. But before then you’ve to sort this login issue o. I know people face difficulties with gckey but it’s not this serious. I don’t know if it’s possible to link gckey to new portal or create another gckey account and link your previous one. You can make your research on that.

Yea, it’s possible to link GCkey to the new portal provided you have the login details of the GCkey. I’ve done it for someone and she used the new portal to submit study permit application after I linked it.

The person that process your passport claim a misplacement. Which he will make affidavit, police report and a copy of your data page.Everything will be done like a new passport and without the old passport 10months expiring date. Normally is less than 6 months before renew.



The way some people talk with authority of what they know nothing about or have experienced baffles me!
Nobody claimed any misplacement or did any affidavit for any lost passport on my behalf.
I paid for my passport renewal in December 2022 and my passport was to expire in October 2023. Paid extra #20,000 which is official (on top of the original unofficial amount for renewal). My previous passport of October validity was 5 years and I was renewing for 10 years. I went for capturing in January 2023 with my old passport and in March, I went to pick up my new passport with my old one where they now stamped it “cancelled” before activating the new one.
Please, let’s endeavor to share info we are sure of or have experienced before in order not to unintentionally mislead or spread false information. Authentic information can help someone in the same situation.
Btw, this experience happened in Port Harcourt.

Hello guys,
I would like to ask if it's mandatory to book a return ticket while booking for visit visa.
My mum's application just got approved and the rates are crazy at the moment.

For a visiting visa, Yes, to be on safe side.

The risk of not booking a return ticket should in case there is any interrogation that makes the officer request for the ticket, it will become an issue and difficult to defend that she intends returning back.

I don’t think it’s mandatory but to be on the safe side. I’m chatting with someone, his wife is traveling on Thursday, he booked one way ticket 1.4m, so i understand why he didn’t book return. I’m waiting on her experience to make my decision. I don’t think I want to book return, na to look for good excuse incase of interrogation. I will also drop her POE experience once she lands on Friday.

N.B: Those going for tourism should just book return tickets. I don’t think there’s excuse in this category.

It means there’s issue with application fee payment. It’s was either paid with fraudulent card or there was a charge back. Did you pay it yourself or used agent?

Try to pay the money, write a good letter of explanation and send it via Webform, anything can happen or just submit another application.

Also when did you apply and when did you get this message?

Please, this is not true. You can renew a passport of 8-10 months validity (i.e. if your passport has about 10 months before it expires, you can renew). I’m a living witness.

Ordinarily, Nigerian immigration won't renew a passport with more than six months left on its current expiration date.

A stolen or lost passport is the only exception to this rule.

My junior brother was asked to wait until his passport has less than 6 months to expire. This happened in Lagos.

Yes, for a visit visa, because most of the time they will ask you the question, "When are you leaving the country?" or ask for your return ticket.
