congratulations when did you submit ur application

Bluestarry123:
Good afternoon Everyone, I'm a silent reader here. I just got a request from IRCC to submit my passport. A big thanks to everyone.

Please I really need your help/Opinions about this. My 10yrs biometric is expiring June/July 2024 and my program is valid for two years study. And I have been asked to submit my passport to complete my application, my thoughts is that I don't know if I will still be giving the two years study visa since my Biometric will be expiring June/July 2024. If otherwise please what can I do to tackle this.

Thanks.

congrat do u have any travel history or hav family in Canada

Finally got my passport with 10 year visa stamped on it.
its been a loooooong walk to freedom.
Summited Application July 2022
PPR June 30 2023
My passport expires next year, had to do urgent passport with 10 years validity and also change from my maiden name to my married name. (300k)
I sent in passport July 17 but it was returned August 8 (30 days submission window exceeded) due to me not including the yellow slip issued during the biometric screening.
I had to go resubmit August 10 and finally collected it today.

The 30 days window being exceeded and me using a new passport with a new last name different from what i applied with got me worried but it all came together at the end. Thanks to everyone who takes time out to help people in here, God bless you all.

congrat

Good evening all.

Sorry for sharing this late:
I and my spouse finally collected our stamped passport last week Friday.

Application submitted: March 16, 2023
Biometric request: March 16, 2023
Biometric done: March 24, 2023
BVL: June 28, 2023
PPR: July 5, 2023
Passport submission to UPS: Wed July 19, 2023
PP received by VFS Lagos: Friday July 21, 2023
PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and to be sent to CVAC Abuja OC: Mon July 24, 2023
PP Collection mail: Thur 10 August , 2023
PP Collected VFS LAGOS: Friday 11 August , 2023

After CVAC Abuja OC: Mon July 24, 2023 there was complete silence, no mail and the VFS tracker kept saying our ‘in transit to IRCC office’ perpetually. I was not bothered at first because I renewed my passport and raised a request to update the passport number on IRCC, I also added the letter to the envolpe which we submitted at VFS with the new passport. I kept checking the IRCC tracker to confirm if my passport number has been updated to the new one because the visa details on the tracker showed my old passport number. Finally Aug 1 the IRCC tracker was updated with my new passport number and by Aug 3, the IRCC tracker was already showing closed yet no update on the VFS tracker as it kept saying in transit to IRCC.
Finally on Aug 10, I contacted VFS via the live chat and was told it was still processing it. Alas same day in the afternoon I got all the mails at once including the ready for collection mail. The next day Aug 11 my spouse picked up our passport: went with marriage certificate and consent letter.

Background: Our application was Visiting a friend in Canada with the intent to give birth. Proposed travel date was 3rd June, however passport request came in few days to when we had our baby

We are processing our baby’s passport and I have to read up on how to go about application for children.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone on this thread. The information here was very helpful and instrumental to our application.

We were given visas up to the expiry date of our passport. My new passport is 10years to expries July 2033. I was given 10years multiple entry visa with the expiry date as Mar 2033 which is when the biometric expires.

All the best to everyone still waiting. Let me go and search this thread for what I need to apply for kids of parents with visas already.

CONGRATULATIONs

You are a frequent Traveller right

I do not have any family/relative in Canada. This is my first application.

you need your physical passport too

puffmama:
Hello everyone , i submitted my TRV application yesterday evening and I just got a mail to do my biometrics .
My passport is at the France Embassy at the moment , I actually just submitted yesterday.

I have a scanned copy of the BioData page of my passport , would that be acceptable or do I need to wait to collect my passport .

Secondly, if I delay in doing the biometrics but within the 30 days specified , does it delay the processing of my application?

congrat bro

hunee:
I recently got my third SA visa.

Makes it my third time visiting SA in 3 months.

Applied same day, and got visa same day.

Via DHA


DHA is still most preferable.

I advise you all to take your time , be calm and study the processes on the portal before you begin.

Knowledge is power.

Most of the queries asked here are on the website.

Just go through them carefully and establish some contact too in the process..


I also want to say for those sending me mails on how to convert tourist visa to resident permit, please confirm from the query department.


One thing I do for sure is that I read alot and have been able to gather lots of information on visa processes which aids my application.

So , I encourage everyone to do same, it will help alot.

Goodluck guys.

puffmama:
