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.

Hi guys, please I need help. I just noticed I made a mistake in the spelling of my husband name and I’ve submitted and booked biometrics, pls how do I go about to correct it?

Flakky26:
Do any of the suggestions

1. Wait till they get back to you . It's possible is then name on the passport they will follow

Or
2. send them a mail about the error. Attach an affidavit and passport BioData to it

Mine is more than 2 weeks now since I submitted my passport. How did you know the passport got to the embassy, did you receive an email from IRCC?

Please, The biometrics section on my portal is indicating the message below despite the fact that I did the biometrics at Vfs Lagos a month ago.

Should I be concerned?

Meanwhile, I have a valid U.S. visa but I've not seen any progress on my Canadian visit visa application status

Just fill a webform and notify ircc!

drimpeccable:
Thank you for the suggestion.

What is more confusing is that on the applicant information section, it shows my biometrics number and date of biometrics enrolment.

Please, how do I go about filling of the webform?

Congratulations 👏👏

The slogan "What God cannot do does not exist" may undermine human responsibility by encouraging reliance on divine intervention Alone. But God does not grant visas or fix nations—humans have free will to act, and progress depends on our choices and efforts.

Thank you.

Have you received back your passport back yet?

Good evening, Please is there anybody still waiting for feedback since Nov 2023? This is my second application after a previous refusal and I applied from Nigeria, not the UK. I'm not sure why it is taking over a year to get feedback.

GuyInTheMirror:
Hello everyone
Is it possible to do biometrics in Lagos and do passport submission for visa in Abuja (in person) ?

Please educate me as I am confused if it's possible.

Thanks.
