Good evening.

This question is to everyone that has information about this.

Is Egypt Airline, a good option to Canada? They seems to be the cheapest so far.

Please share your experience

Thank you.

Most of them may be permanent residents or citizens. May be they got a very long visiting visa before their family migrated. It's not peculiar to Nigerians only. Even people from countries that do not need visa to enter Canada may be pull to secondary once they informed the immigration officer at the port of entry that they want to visit spouse and children who are already permanent resident or citizen.

how come I have a lot of my colleagues with their wives and children there, and they go visit from time to time?

Do they all have spousal sponsorship visas or whatever ?

Hello
My visit visa is past 45 days now. Does it take that long? I have sent a webform, do I need to request a GCMS note?

My hubby’s own is more than 3 months now. Visit visa takes time sometimes. Forget the processing times you see on their portal.

It says 38 days applying for a visitor visa from Nigeria. That’s about a month, which is consistent with some people that have been issued visa here.

45 days and then 3 months which that lady quoted sounds strange sha .

What can one do if the expected entry date to Canada have passed for visiting visa, and application is processing. Biometric shows on the portal but not updated on tracker

Please help
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by ATTAHDYE(m): 11:29am On Jan 24
You don't have to do anything.

Just wait, be patient and hope for a positive outcome.

Maybe it’s because I also applied for study permit for my kids together with the visit visa.

Canadian visitor visa application processing is not restricted by the applicants' planned travel timeline.

The IRCC will continue to process your visitor visa application even if your intended travel date has passed, and the visa will be issued if they determine that you qualify for the visa.

IRCC evaluates each application based on eligibility rather than the travel date, and this allows for continuous processing until a decision is made on the application.

The person that invited them lives in Canada (15-30days)

When you apply inside Canada for visit visa is faster than outside Canada okay....

Because your parents have been issued a Canadian visitor visa within the last 10 years makes them eligible for the CAN+ program, which provides expedited processing.

Their applications are typically sent to a faster stream because they have already been vetted.

Your sister benefits from this faster processing timeline as well, since she applied with them.
