My friend submitted an application for a TRV on January 7th. I just logged into his account and saw his eligibility status has changed. Can anyone tell me what to expect next?

This application is still at the early stage..so just wait for the next update from cic

I still wonder why Nigeria processing time is 74 days - the only country with very high processing time. Other countries including our neighbors- Ghana, Chad, Niger and most African countries have processing time less than 30 days.

Good morning people

So after entering into Canada with a tourist visa, u can’t change to any other status’, even to study permit?

You cannot change it

Hi, please I just went to VFS office but they said my passport has not gotten back to them. I dropped it there and they said 15 working days. Today makes it 15 working days and I just left and got a message from VFS global that my package was just dispatched at 8.11 am 3rd of February. Should I go back to Vfs now? Or wait till tommorrow? It’s stressful

Eligibility review has begun on my mama’s profile. Hoping for the best outcome soon enough.

Applied Dec 4th, biometrics submitted Dec 16th.

I think maybe the process change! Cos I apply online and the biometric correspondence letter drop since 15 January and up till now!! No update, nothing at all!!! Thanks!

[Pls how do i write a letter of purpose,I plan to submit my application online by next week. I also need to know where I can book airline without payment . And also tour guides for my trv. Kindly help a brother.

Relax, I thought so initially after reading several posts here where people get PPR the same day or next day after biometric letter.
But it's not one size fits all, my mum's correspondence letter/BVL letter whichever you call it, arrived on the 14th Jan and her PPR arrived on the 21st.
Notice the 7 days interval?

Going forward.

According to statistics from Canada immigration department at the end of 31 December 2018, India citizen that claim asylum in Canada with pending case is 5,175 ,while Pakistan is 2,788 and Nigerian top the chart with 12,138…now you have an ideal why Nigerian visa processing time is much longer now

So finally, mum profile got updated with counterfoil. Unfortunately, Expiry date is January 2021. Just one year validity. you can not just predict Canada.

Still grateful because it is better than denial. We move!

Congratulations. Is your mum's passport expiring on this same date?

The best way is only if you are married together So what happens when you marry a Canadian citizen or permanent resident? The first step, however, is applying for spousal sponsorship. In order to act as a sponsor, the citizen or permanent resident must be: over the age of 18 and be able to prove financial stability. The sponsor must for first be approved and then the spouse can apply for permanent residence. Over the years, a few cases of immigration marriage fraud have led the Canadian government to impose stricter rules on all spousal sponsorship cases, even if they are legitimate marriages. Therefore, it is important to ensure all the documentation requirements are fulfilled.
There are two main ways of applying for spousal sponsorship for Canada if you are married to a Canadian citizen. (This is a different matter from moving out of Canada to the US however).

If you are already living in Canada legally on a visa such as a work permitor study permit and have married a Canadian citizen, you can remain in Canada while the application for spousal sponsorship is being processed. This is referred to as inland spousal sponsorship.but If you are not living in Canada you can come to Canada once you have obtained your permanent resident visa. In this case, you will be sponsored while outside of Canada in a process called outland spousal sponsorship.First, your sponsor will apply to sponsor you to Canada as their spouse, common-law spouse or their conjugal partner. You will then apply for permanent residency in Canada. Once you are a permanent resident for the required amount of time and have satisfied all residency requirements, you may then be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.Unfortunately, love in spousal sponsorship cases is not enough to prove the validity of a marriage, nor is a marriage certificate. Couples must go to great lengths to demonstrate to the Canadian government that their marriage is legitimate when it comes to spousal sponsorship cases, and this can be very difficult and require a lot of documentation.but it possible if your marriage is geniue and not sham marriage or better go via the canada federal skill program this require no marriage but your work experience,english language test and educational qualification.l wish you best of luck

goingforward:
Congratulations. Is your mum's passport expiring on this same date?

no oo..
