Good day everyone, please help can anyone help with this. My friend applied for Canada tourist visa alone through an agent in April and in few month after, her wife tried to apply for New Zealand tourist visa online for her husband and herself but their application was declined despite having few travel history, the wife applied on her own in July for Canada, still waiting the decision. But in September the agent notify the husband that his canada tourist visa was declined. So the situation now is, the husband is applying by himself for Canada tourist visa again after correcting everything with gcms note, cos most of the documents submitted to the agent was not used at all. The question now is , should he only state that he and his wife has New Zealand visa rejected without uploading the rejection letter because on the New Zealand rejection letter, his wife's passport number is on it and he's worried if it wont affect the wife Canada tourist visa application that she has already submitted. Please urgent answer. Thanks

Till my passport expires in 2028

Congratulations! After two swop refusals, you finally got a visit visa. IRCC has now changed gears with the new rule for visiting spouses of students. In the past, they were often given short visas equal to the duration of the student's visa. Now, there is no more end of passport for ordinary visitors. I pray you get the swop and PR ahead, as that is the main goal. I wish u safe journey!

VISA ALERT WITH TIMELINE

June 6, 2024
I submitted application for Visitors Visa together with my wife. I submitted it online on the IRCC Portal

June 7, 2024:
I received Biometric Submission Letter for both of us. Note that I used my account to apply for my wife and I.

10 June, 2024:
We submitted Our Biometrics ar the VFS office in Abuja

******VERY LONG PERIOD OF SILENCE******

25 November, 2024:
Visa approved on the portal and Passport Request Letter as early as 5:30am

25 November, 2024 by 11:30am:
My wife and I submitted our passport at the VFS office in Abuja

27 November, 2024 at 2:45pm: We received notification of passport Collection from VFS.

28 November 2024 at 11:30am: We arrived at the VFS office in Abuja and collected our passport.

**I was given 10 years. My visa will expires in 2034

** My wife was given 2 years because her passport had only 2 years left before expiration.

Thought it was a very slow process that took us about 5 Months 3 weeks, the final result was worth it as I won't need to apply Canada visa again till 2034.

NB:
** It was our first Canada visa
** We Visited UK once last year and still have 2 years valid UK visa in our passports.
** We recently visited Australia in February this year (2024) and had a 1 year Australian valid Visa.
**We've also visited Turkey, Dubai and Maldives in 2022.

Hope this timeline can help someone.

Application for Canada visa submitted since February this year. Application done from the uk. In fact I got a Schengen visa which I applied for recently and got it yet Canada still hasn’t responded to me. I am really disappointed in them. I really don’t care anymore cause I missed my mums birthday because of their visa delays.

Applications submitted in Nigeria are processed more quickly than those submitted in the UK. Current processing times for applications submitted in the UK is 13 months (403 days), whereas the average processing times for applications submitted in Nigeria is 6 months (176 days).

If the processing time progression is followed, your application should be decided by April 2025 at the latest.

Nothing yet.
Did you do gcms request?

Calmlolly:
No response till now..Now more than a year..What about you?

Calmlolly:
Nothing yet

It’s possible you get response by December since average processing time for UK applicants is 13months

Plss I did my biometric may 22 till now no update yet what is going on

Please house a friend needs help, does anyone know any way or loop hole he can convert his visit visa to work visa without stepping out of the country. Also, he applied for visitor visas extension already and waiting for a decision, if he must stop out now that he has an LMIA when there has not been a response won’t it be counted against him?

If ur friend has already applied for a visa extension, also means the applicant have already spent about five months in Canada. A visitor record can either be granted or denied. If it is granted, it simply means the visitor visa has been extended, which still does not provide the opportunity to work. There is no 'loop' that would allow for work authorization, so do not pay anyone for an LMIA, because Ottawa announced on August 28, 2024, that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has ended a temporary public policy that allowed visitors to apply for a work permit from within Canada, effective immediately. What many people are doing now is claiming asylum, but as the immigration minister mentioned on Monday regarding changes coming to Canadian immigration, asylum seekers will face more difficulties as new rules are set to be introduced and the student route not cheap!

I’m in the same boat with you, applied for my gcms notes which arrived about a month ago nothing new.

I don comot mind for their matter as they can do as they wish with their visa.

IRCC will literally teach you patience without taking you to classes. Hellish.
