Good morning guys, I have two questions to ask

1. A friend of mine international passport will expire in 9months time, can he go ahead to apply for visiting visa, his brother want to send an invite for a weeding in the month of August, would there be any column later to notify them of the new passport

2. Secondly he has done bio metric before in 2019. Is he going to do again after submission of application now, or the formal bio metric info will appear in his new application.

Thanks as I await your response

1. He can apply then send Webform n mail to update his passport

2. Biometrics is valid for 10 years, he should use the previous UCI while setting up the account.

It’s like they are giving PPR to pple that got their BVL end of April, that means we the May BVL pple will soon start getting our own PPR.

If you got yours in May pls give us the date let’s know ourselves.

Mine came on the 6th of May.

I got mine May 11th .

Thank you so much, but what of, if his not in possession of his UCI number, probably privious application was done by an agent in his case now, what will he do?


And how do you set up an account with your UCI number, all we see there, is create an account username and password, under the GCKey portal.

Thanks for your response

Good Morning, Please after submitting passport to VFS in Lagos , How long does it take to get it back with the stamped visa ?

Congrats Emma, deronke and all who got ppr, it indeed ended in praise.
Congratulations in advance to those who are still waiting

Emmafe:
Indeed it raining PPR! To those still waiting, it’s dropping soon by God’s grace. Amen!

Use new portal, it’s more easy to set up.

There’s a section you’ll be asked if you’ve done biometrics in the past 10 years, click yes.

How did he do his biometrics if he doesn’t have his UCI? He should check the biometrics request letter he took to vfs, UCI number is der.

You should be able to reschedule on vfs website

On VFS appointment for passport request, does one need to sign up on the appointment page or use existing log in details from the biometric capturing?

You can sign up with a new email if you want to.. I used a fresh email when I booked mine yesterday..

Thanks Sir.

mohammedabiodun:
Thanks Sir.

You are welcome 🙏

If VFS won't open on Monday, surely they should send an email to let people who booked Monday to reschedule. The silence from them indicates they may work on Monday May 29 or does anyone have any other information?

I have someone that did biometric and the agent that helped her said she was denied, now the problem is that the agent didn't release any info and his no where to be found.

What this person can do if she wanted to reapply? She doesn't know reason she was denied and no info like UCI or biometric number was released by this agent but the person confirm she did her biometric.

May this be in my favour and also to everyone waiting.

My new VV application was in Nov2022,(old TRV expired in 2021 ,I didn't use it at all)-----could this be the underlying reason for my VV denials since then?I really don't know) still haven't received any decision. Background check started months ago,Eligibility yet to commence.

I need to reunite with my family.

And how do you set up an account with your UCI number, all we see there, is create an account username and password, under the GCKey portal.

Thanks for your response

The first thing to do when you’re ready to apply for a Canada visa is to create a GCKey username and password, which you will need to sign in to your IRCC secure account.

You also need the IRCC portal to check the status of your application after submission.

You can use either of the links below.

https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en
 

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html

 
After you submit your visa application, you will be assigned a UCI and visa application number.

You can use your UCI and application number to create an Application Status Tracker account. This will also enable you to check the full and more detailed status of your application.

chiomapx:
This is 44days after my BVL dropped.
I applied October 2022,
Biometrics 16th October
BVL 13th of April ...
Visa number and expiring date already on tracker.

I think they are approving Visa based on purpose of visit...

My propose of visit:
Catholic church in Ontario invited me for Christmas celebration program.
Are they waiting to send PPR during Ember months or what?.

For my purpose of visit, can't even send an emotional letter😭😭😭😭..

I don’t think that’s what they are doing… just keep sending messages.. it will drop.. The longest I have seen is almost 2 months..

Just keep hope alive..

She took a document along with her to vfs to do her biometrics. UCI number is on the document. If she doesn’t have it I can’t really say wat else to do. She should declare her previous refusal in the new application.
