Good afternoon everyone,

I did a visiting visa application for my Parent on Dec 19th, 2023. Biometrics letter came the same day, they did their biometrics on the 2nd of January and it was updated Jan 3rd on the portal.

I heard there's a trend that if the applicants have a US visa either valid or expired, the application get processed faster? I want to confirm this pls.

thank you

1. is this agent genuine?
2. is there anything like all the types of visas he is proposing?

please I need urgent response so I can make an informed decision. thank you so much!

Good morning people , thanks for always responding to my questions I really appreciate it so much... Please I want to ask a question, is it advisable or legal to travel with a visit visa to Canada and then seek asylum in canada?

Many that went through that route are bitting their fingers already!

Hmmm 🤔

Good morning everyone

we request for application withdrawal for my sis 3 weeks ago and we received any email from IRCC two days after that our request have been forwarded to the responsible office, this morning she got this email below from them.. have log in her IRCC account to confirm the email match

pls should we ignore this email or send a webform





Good day,



You have reached the Migration Section at the High Commission of Canada in Kenya.



Your e-mail address does not match our records. For privacy reasons, we cannot share any information about this visa application with you, as we cannot confirm that you are the applicant or their authorized representative.



To verify which e-mail address was provided on your application, log in to your IRCC online account. Once you’re logged in, you can update your contact information and check important messages from IRCC directly. If you need to contact IRCC, you must use the secure IRCC web form (email inquiries are no longer accepted).



Important! Sometimes an applicant does not have access to their online account because they hired an agent to fill out their application on their behalf. If this applies to you, please note:



Not all agents are authorized. Choose wisely and check if your agent is authorized.


If you’re paying someone for their services, ask for a written contract and get a signed receipt for every payment you make.


You and your agent must fill out and sign the Use of a Representative Form. Failure to do so is considered lying, and your application may be refused for not declaring that you used a representative.


We recommend that you always keep access to your IRCC online account. A lot of scammers will tell you that they’ve sent in your application, but they haven’t – or they might hide important IRCC messages from you.


If you’ve been a victim of an immigration scam, report it to your local police authorities.


For information about visiting, working, studying or immigrating to Canada, always refer to IRCC’s official website: canada.ca/immigration

I have seen over 15 approval just this year. But all are study visa. So its not the holiday
Ajalalomo:
For those applicants whose application has exceeded the normal processing time of 115 days for applications submitted in Nigeria, this might be because of the holiday season.

Decision notices might start to drop in mid-January.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Madukachase: 4:58am On Jan 06
Only for visit visa

True or not, the Canada visa issuance  has slowed down lately.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Deronke1: 6:58am On Jan 06
Yea, my passport was till very much valid for extra 3 years sef,,,

It's well Jare,, atleast i used the 6 months to deliver a Canadian citizen there. Hopefully they answer me this time again.

Eriokanmi:
Oh, well...6 months Canada TRV is very rare nowadays. I've not seen such in a long time. Since your passport expires in 2026 as you said, Canada would rather issue a visa covering the expiry of your passport, which is why I always encourage people to apply or renew with a fresh passport, to take advantage of this so you don't keep applying and waiting endlessly. You could get up to 10 years if you apply with a passport with 10 years validity

Very true. I had my application submitted on the 22nd of December. Had biometric request same day. Did my biometric on the 23rd. Just yesterday I got request for passport submission. The only document submitted was my valid USA visa and an introduction letter listing my countries travelled. Note I have a Peru passport (which might be a key decider or not). In summary my application took less than 2 weeks for passport request. Shalom!!!

I might sound harsh if I say the Agent is a liar. To softly put it, please thread with caution.

I'm not sure where you submitted your application, but the average processing time for applications from Peru is 54 days.

Also, because you had a US visa at the time your application was submitted, this makes your application qualified for the CAN+ program, which expedited the processing of your application.

No matter what we say here, the op is still going ahead to pay the 4.5 or 5 million naira.

Generally, lies sell faster than the truth, especially here in Nigeria.

They all want someone that will lie to them that the visa is 100% guaranteed.

We need to say the truth. Giving away 4.5 million naira at this hard time for a visitor visa is crazy.

Sending a webform to indicate a visa refusal which was not stated during application submission before of oversight can it be of help? I had an issue like that though I have sent a webform stating the visa refusal.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Educhopper(m): 9:32pm On Jan 06
I submitted from Peru.
Also checked the processing time which was 35 days few days ago. Now it's 54 days as your rightly pointed out. Never knew about this CAN+ until now you pointed it out. Nice info you dished out. Cheers!!!

I believed your story from day one. Congrats! This is what people should know...

1- Processing time differs, from country to country and this also fluctuates.

2- If you've been to the US before, you're most likely going to have your application prioritised or processed much faster than others who have not, regardless of the standard processing time announced by the IRCC

You’re right. Applications that show that the applicant travelled to Canada in the last 10 years or holds a valid U.S. non-immigrant visa will be sent to the visa office for expedited processing.

Forget the online talk about labor shortages. Finding a job in Canada has become quite challenging ask people that arrive since stempber some no job, even for positions in security job, factories job or as personal support workers (PSWs). I understand why they are issuing more student visas—to boost their economy with increased funds...l beg no sell ur property to come canada..come and see things urself and try ur luck firstly.no let any agent or youtuber creating video for money deceieve u!

I have left everything in God’s hand like you said. I only indicated the Canada refusal and that was the one in my mind while filling the application form. It was after submission that I realized that I need to indicate other refusals. Relying on my travel history for positive outcome.
