So I shouldn’t fill the imm5467 form ? Because it’s indicated there that I have to upload it or should I just not declare that I’m their representative?

Gentlesoul3268:

You don't need to fill any form again since you have provided info when you declared representative.

Yes
Name and address and relationship, I chose family member. When I got to uploading documents, I’m seeing I should upload the imm5467 form . So should I go back and indicate no representative or I should fill the form ?

In my opinion, Fill that form and upload if you dont want wahala with IRCC. If you read the form carefully, it says you MUST use the form to appoint a representative.

What if I don’t declare a representative? I don’t choose that they have any representative at all ?

If a paid or unpaid representative is not filling the form, then no need to attach the form.

Please when uploading the documents , for my kids school documents, should I upload same documents I uploaded under mine under their own ? I intend to upload everything information under each person folder just incase it’s not same Officer ? Or should I do it depending on the child ?

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by AskGod07: 6:46pm On Aug 01, 2023
Do you apply with more than one applicant (ie FAMILY) or you apply separately?

You can attach important document to all your children application that count plus not a crime

On the tracker..it says this and I got these 2 messages the same day I submitted my passport. And the message on the tracker hasn't changed for over 1 week.

Don't worry you will get another message, mine was like that for 2 weeks.

I got a mail for passport collection in Lagos 2 weeks after the first message. Funny enough my wife's and children's passports were ready for collection 6 days after submission though we submitted the same day.

You will get another mail soon. Just relax
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by meljoe: 6:57pm On Aug 01, 2023
I applied as a family , filled each of them forms , I’m about to start uploading documents, so I’m kind of confused if I should just upload the same documents for everybody or I should upload depending on the person ?

Hi everyone,

In the spirit of giving back to the community, here’s my application timeline;

Application submitted- June 11, 2023
Biometrics completed at VFS Lagos - June 21, 2023
Biometrics validity letter - June 15, 2023
PPR - June 15, 2023
Passport submission at VFS Lagos - June 20, 2023
Passport delivered by UPS courier to a Lagos address - July 30, 2023


Background- I have valid US and UK visas. Also several expired Schengen visas. So I am a frequent traveler and most trips are for tourism.

Applied as a tourist with hotel reservation. No family or friend in Canada was mentioned in my application
Submitted all the regular documents - nothing extra

All the best to others still expecting PPR.

I’m in the same shoes as you. In my case I submitted a new passport so my focus was on getting the document number on tracker updated and that just got updated this morning grin. As others have said, let’s wait for the mail indicating Lagos.

You can merge them so long as it’s not above the maximum file size.

Yes I want to know if I should upload same documents I uploaded for my self for everyone . For example I’m uploading my kids school documents and property documents, should I upload everything for everyone or I should differentiate it according to the child or the person ?

Na so problem dey start. Why do you want to deny you’re not their representative? We just witness another wahala just 1 page back. Can your kids fill those information themselves? Please indicate you’re their representative and fill all the required documents truthfully.

No big deal, got there around 12:30, I was even scared I might not get it , but I saw a line and joined it. They gave numbers I got number 367. Got in around 3:00 and that was all. Apparently some people got in earlier as collection is between 12 and 2

Good evening all.
I finally collected my stamped passport.

Application submitted: March 22, 2023
Biometric request: March 23, 2023
Biometric done: March 24, 2023
BVL: June 28, 2023
PPR: July 5, 2023
Passport submission to UPS: Thur July 6, 2023
PP received by VFS Lagos: Mon July 10, 2023
PP dispatched from Lagos: Mon July 10, 2023
PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and to be sent to CVAC Abuja OC: Tue July 11, 2023

I was confused at this point 😕 🫤 because why are you receiving and saying you will send to yourself again then I just assumed they made a mistake in the message. It was not a mistake 😢 😭 😪
Within this period, I checked the application tracker, saw visa number even though my background check was in progress.

PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and in transit to IRCC office Abuja OC: Thur July 13, 2023

I started becoming jittery at this point because of my other upcoming trip. Plus the people that submitted same day with me and a day after me had gotten msgs that their PP had left IRCC after stamping. Checked my status and it was still saying background check in progress🙄

PP received by IRCC: Thur July 20, 2023

So PP was in transit within Abuja for 1 whole week. The PP must have been tired of trekking 😔

PP received by CVAC Abuja CVO: Mon July 24, 2023

I checked my status on the portal and the application tracker. Application tracker was still saying 'in progress' because background check was in progress. Portal was updated to background completed, but no info on passport being stamped.

I decided to chat VFS on Wed morning July 26. Chatted with Chiamaka, she confirmed that PP was in transit to Lagos VFS. I kept stressing how urgent it was because of my planned trip and it was already almost 3 weeks after submission. I was practically pleading that I can pick it up from anywhere... she insisted I will pick it up in lagos VFS office. 2 mins after our chat, collection mail in Lagos dropped 💃 💃 💃
VFS passport tracker was still showing 'in transit' till I collected the passport.

I just checked the application tracker now (fri 28 July), and the status says 'closed'. It was updated July 26, the day lagos collection mail dropped.
The portal overall status still says 'submitted'.

Other info:
I used the new link for application.
I had US visa.
I applied as a tourist.

Hi, congratulations,
Please can I send you a DM seeing as you used the new portal to apply, I have a few questions 🙏
