Be careful.
Canadian embassy is very strict, giving out visa now, I don't know what their government are up to.

Years back even with good travel histories, they bounce people anyhow.

They might go to default mode anytime soon.
Better decide for the better now.

Canadian visa is one of the most difficult visa to get.
I don talk my own.
We move 🚶

Meanwhile thought you said you ticket is already booked for next week?

Thanks for the advise.
I am in the same shoe.

A colleague is just telling me how he renewed his passport prior to applying .
His passport was to expire like two years to come .
He renewed it and got 10 years Canada Visitor Visa on the new passport.

I am not happy at all that I'm getting just 9 months Visa on my passport.
I should have gone for the renewal.

Again let me ask the gurus here,

If I make the trip and come back ( planning to go to Canada on the 4th and to come back on the 12th October),
Do I have a better chance of approval when I apply next year?

As long as you stick to your travel times of entry and exit within the validity of your issued visa timeline there shouldn't be any challenge for a future renewal.

Since you already paid you can as well do it if they send you a biometrics collection letter because it may affect the validity of your visa .
Even if you have a new 10 yrs passport ., They will only give you a visa that's valid for 2 yrs because your biometrics will expire in 2025.

Please ,what were the supporting documents with your kids application?
Kristenjoe:
Good evening nairalanders.
I applied for visitor visa on the 23 of feb 2023 and I was approved and sent ppr on the 1st of June without bvl. I submitted my passport on the 7th of June so I’m waiting for courier to return it with my visa.

During my application, I did not apply for my kids thinking they will be granted visa under my application. It was after mine was approved that we got to know that we have to apply for the kids separately which I did on the 6th of June.

My question now is this: how long before they approve their own application?
Also, how long before my passport is returned to me.

Thank you and good luck to everyone looking forward to being approved.

Yes,they sent the biometric collection letter since aug 15 and since then,I have not gotten any information from them. I think they are waiting for my fingerprint. You know,I was thinking since they acknowledged my first biometric,it would supercede this second one.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by tonero230(m): 8:20am On Sep 02, 2023
And in the biometric collection letter,I was given just 30 days from the day it was sent to do the new biometric. Does it mean I should go to VFS and do it anytime before the 30 days elapses. I was not given any specific date.

Is it possible for someone to know if agent truly applied a visa for him,

A friend shared his story with me that last 4 years one agent applied a visitor visa for him, that he went to VSF office but wasn't do biometrics or capturing. I asked him how that possible?

He said he submitted his passport, but what I'm convinced about is that he was issued a teller stated visa and biometrics fees and reference with tracking number.

But he said that he didn't do any biometrics or capturing at that time, after some days his passport was sent back to him in Osun state.

Now my question is that how can we check if his having any information with IRCC or if the agent truly applied a visa for him at that time?

In 2019 Canada as started doing biometrics and capturing right? Even if he go through paper submission right?

Below is the teller he sent to me that was giving to him at that time.

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

Would have love to help you u and your friend out,but i dont really understand the question you are asking here,Canada dont collect passport again until your application has been approved and this practice has been for long
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by AskGod07: 2:36pm On Sep 02, 2023
I know bro, I'm already gotten my visitor and student visa just trying to help him out.

The matter I dey talk so happened since 2019, the guy wanted to apply now but we don't know if the application that the agent did for him in 2019 is real,

I asked the guy if he did biometrics and capturing at that time he said no, now I'm asking if IRCC as started doing biometrics and capturing in 2019?

How can we confirm if the guy has any application with IRCC in the past?
