Ojularihabeeb:
Thank you very much for your swift response… pls, where should I address the letter to ? Thank you

Eriokanmi:
No transit visa is needed.

mamawa123:


The passport was sent to Canada embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon for stamping.

Eriokanmi:
So, IRCC, Yaounde has joined the offices stamping Nigerian passports? Na wah oo. The other day it was Nairobi. Or could it be that it’s in transit to Nairobi?

dubaiboy1:
I've never heard a case like this before ! Fascinating
Congratulations to your Mum.

mamawa123:


Most of the time, the offices or locations where applications are processed are different from the offices or locations where visas are issued.

If you check the IRCC website, it is stated there that "visitor visa applications from Nigeria are processed in Nairobi." This doesn't mean that the visa will be issued in Nairobi. As a matter of fact, most visas processed for Nigerian applicants in Nairobi are issued in Lagos or Abuja.

The processing office for visitor visa applications for Nigerian applicants is the IRCC Nairobi office, but the visas are mostly issued at the Lagor or Abuja IRCC offices, and some are issued outside Nigeria.

My nephew's visa was processed in Nairobi last year, but on the visa vigilante, it shows that the visa was issued at IRCC Bamako office. He doesn’t even notice this until recently.

Anyway, the processing location, or where the visa is issued, is irrelevant to applicants. What an applicant cares about is the positive results—that his or her visa has been approved and issued.

Let IRCC issues the visa. No one care about the location or locations where the visas are processed or issued.

Hello guys trust we re doing great.

IRCC new law has downgraded me from Spousal Open Work Permit I didn't get twice to now visit visa.

I just got to understand my application is now sitting with the Lagos office. All my previous applications including my wife approved study visa was processed by Nairobi.
I heard lagos is not friendly, but don't worry your visa will be approved....
What do I expect from Lagos office? Are they as responsive as Nairobi? What's d difference in their approach to applicants?

Pls those with experience can help so make I know wether my prayer and fasting go start tonight...lolz

Tomisyn26:

Ircc are responding but I think the rate at which they are refusing applications is much than approval
And people are not coming to share because of the rejection
God will show us favour no matter what
We all will be granted access in Jesus name

I don’t know where you got that your information from, but the truth is that majority of those who applied late last year (November and December) and this year are still waiting for decisions.

These are the categories of people who are getting faster processing time:

- Those that have valid US visa when their applications were submitted.

-Those that applied before their current Canada visa expired.

- Those who have children in Canada, and their children invited them.

Some other people maybe lucky too, but just only few applicants.

Apart from the above, majority of applicants who applied in November 2023, December 2023, and January 2024 to date are still waiting for decisions.

Dunstar001:
Good day everyone. Please I need help here. My husband in the US applied for canada visit visa as a family for us. I'm in Nigeria with my child though. I've done my biometrics since April 3rd and it's still showing in the application portal that I'm yet to do my biometrics and my husband did his own over there in the US yesterday and they updated it immediately. Please what should I do? I visited the VFS office today and they said my biometric is successful that maybe they're working on it. Please is there anything else I'm not getting right?

mojisolani:



Processing time don change?

fizzile:
You don't need to do anything. Most times they don't update those things on time. My mum got her visa approved and her portal was still showing that biometrics not completed.
