Hi, how long does it take ti get Visit visa nowadays?

iykewright:


My brother I am also in Calgary Southwest, still looking for lmia , I came in Sept. Not yet found an lmia but still hoping.

Thanks,

I applied for the 6 Months Visit Visa for ma mum.

Against this odds:
- I used my Naija Address on the correspondence letter head I did.
- No money in her own account was shown. I didn't even use her statement, I used mine with N1.14m balance (N20m+ turnovers in 6months)
- She's recently retired, i.e. She doesn't have any income; and they usually want to see what the traveler can bring to the table, on their own, before sponsor now states funds

The Visa came out in 2 weeks. Standard Visitor Visa ooooooo.

It was amazing experience for me.

NB:

- She's a Pastor, so I used her Ministry Introduction Letter stating she will be on leave
- She retired as Deputy Director in Lagos State Ministry of Education (So, she probably had a strong profile too)
- I stated that she was coming for her Birthday (coming up in February 28), and that the trip was a gift following her retirement, and pay back for being supportive to me.
- I made sure to create strong ties with her children and husband left back at home, using Marriage certificate and family pictures of husband and 5 kids grown up boys and grand kids, and my wedding and child naming pics with her featuring
- I used my UK BRP card; i just got here in October o, I applied for her in December. I didn't even use my UK Address, just phone number. My stated address was Nigeria, and that i'm still employed and working remotely with my Nigerian employer.

If they checked my BRP and other info, i'm sure they'd see how much i also earn in the UK and how much tax ive paid since I entered.

All in all, it was an unbelievable success. 2 weeks, Visa is out!!!!

Thanks y'all for giving hints here and there to give me some direction.

giselle237:
hiii. Yes dependent visa/work/student visa etc are all temporary visas. U should not use your Nigerian address if u say she is coming to visit you in the UK.. what brings Nigerian address into the equation?
Also ideally you should submit rent or mortgage papers, utilities and Uk proof of address. I dnt see how Nigerian address comes into play here as she needs to have an address for where she is coming to in the UK
Also is there any particular reason why she must come now seeing you just arrived last month? -also as it is worrying to you

Hiya everyone, I've currently spent 1 month in the uk as Dependant Partner and want to process Visit for my mum, should I use my Naija Bank Statement as I'm still employed with the Nigerian Employer. I've only earn pay for 2 weeks in the UK?

Please an expert opinion will be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks a lot.

I am on a Dependent Partner Visa; I got here last month. Should I state in my mum's Visa Application that I live in the UK, and on a Temporary Visa? That's really the situation. Hope its not too early to sponsor her? The address I used is actually my Nigeria address too. Since i'm temporarily here and using Nigeria Account Statement as I still work remotely too in Nigeria, from the UK.

giselle237:
u can fill 1 pound, 1 naira or 1 dollar there if it’s a fully sponsored trip

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of applying for a UK Visa for my mum now. I want to sponsor her; I have shown funds of around N1.1m for 6 months in my account and also have a dollar account showing like $3k. Turnover in the accounts are good for the 6 months.

She is retired and only source of income is allowance I give to her. While filling the application form, I saw somewhere where they asked how much she will personally spend towards her vacation. Bearing in mind that I am providing the total sponsorship, must she personally declare funds? She isn't really earning any salaries at this time, and her Pension payment has not started coming in.

Let me also state that the amount that I send to her as allowance from time immemorial is shown monthly in my statement.

I'd appreciate any advise.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Please advise me: I want to apply for Standard UK Visit Visa for my mum who is now Retired. She was in the Lagos Civil Service 2 years ago. She however is a Pastor (in Ministry also).

Travel reason will be Tourism for like 10-14days, and I want to fund my account with about N1m-N2m, while I have monthly income of about N750k.

So, few questions:
1. Does the fund need to sit in my account for an extensive period of time before application, or I can put it few days before application.

2. Do I need to say anything about myself as the Sponsor, or provide a letter of explanation for the funds I'm providing?

3. Does she need to show any personal funding, or home ties herself since she is retired?

4. Does she need like a letter from the Organization (Ministry) where she Pastors?

Your advise will be highly appreciated.

OAS.

Chai, is there a problem on TLS? Site Maintenance since morning... VI TLS selected.

Has anyone been trying to Book for appointment today for VI?

Hi everyone, must everyone applying for UK Visa have to do an explanation of deposits into their account? even if the deposits are less than 500k? i.e. within 30k and 400k+?

If yes, how does one do that?

Can't there be a transaction without narration?

MarryWhiteasap:

UK visit visa 6 months (131$ )
TLs (55£)

You pay one after another.
250$ in your card will suffice

All depends on your monthly wages.. maybe it's good you direct the message to @giselle237 ... His the custodian of these forum

Thanks.

angrybutsane:
hello All,

Please can someone asisst on how to make foreign payment online. A friend is trying to pay to add her baby to her application for 225 cad. nigerian cards arent working.

Icicles:
@shygunXs I got COPR after march 18, 2020....it expired in August 2020. IRCC sent me a mailing January 2021 asking me if I am ready to travel before end of January so that they can re-open my file to which I responded yes but they didnt get back and now they updated my profile to documents expired.

I am now so confused

Have you checked/combed your email box, including Junk to be sure they didn't send you an email that you missed? If you can't find anything, you probably need to contact them to appeal. I'm not an authority in this area, but I just think you should contact them and table your case.

So, if you just got to Canada (between February and April 2021), or just about to leave, and you have a VERY GOOD CAR you left at home (Nigeria) for sale. Please contact me.

Icicles:
Please I have a serious problem! I was issued a COPR after March 18, in January I got a mail from IRCC asking if I can travel before the end of January, I responded but they never answered...now they have updated my profile to documents expired!!!

WHAT DO I DO?

I don't know if someone who understands this issue has responded. What I have read, in paraphrase is:

"You were sent an email in January asking if you could travel before the end of January, to which you responded but IRCC did not respond. In March, you were issued COPR, somewhere around March 18. However, your profile now reads "Documents Expired", in April?.

My question is, when did you notice the Documents Expired Status? How far apart from when COPR dropped?

This is to put the timeline in proper order.

We need a 1 week back-to-back Express-Entry draw to break into the 460s. Seems they are trying to maintain the score high.

Just hoping Biden's time, if he gets in and the UAE's Golden VISA, would slash this high scores by spreading the influx to to these other countries.

Uhhhh....

Yeah! Here goes the back-to-back... its 469!

I hope they aren't coming with FST sha o.

They should just do one more FSW next week.

Palaexpress:


Yeah, was just about to post this. 5000 is a good number!

Hi pals, I created a short survey to know if Map related questions are still widely used in IELTS Listening.

Please see the link in my signature. The analysis of the responses will be shared with everyone.

I would be glad for recent ielts takers to respond.

Thanks in advance.

They just want this score to get out of hand sha! Extending it will keep raining the benchmark. I PRAY they do it this week sha, if not today.

Erigo23:
Why is it that it’s my own time all these ITA hide and seek is happening. Pls let there be a draw and let it be below 470 I can’t take this

I tire o......

Tyola:
I am a silent follower of this thread.

I got to know about EE in August,2019.

After being introduced to EE, I was given an agent's contact who requested that I pay 280K for WES evaluation (for my wife and I), 900K as his service charge and another exorbitant fee (can't remember how much) for IELTS.

Thank God am not new to WES and IELTS, I did the duo in 2013 while applying for admission abroad. So I decided to surf the internet for information. I came across a YouTube channel (Canadainfohub) owned by Mrs Wolo.
I later came across this thread. Both have been very helpful.

That was how I started my journey.

We both applied for ECA on 08/08/2019,
Got my ECA report on 14/10/2019,
Got my spouse's ECA report on 6/11/2019,
My IELTS: 8.5,8,7,7 (LSRW) (28 Sept 2019)
Spouse's IELTS: 8.5,7.5,7,7.5 (07 Sept 2019)

Entered EE pool yesterday 7/11/2019 (after receiving wife's ECA)

CRS score 477.

Keep up the good work of educating one another. It's a privilege to be here. Hopefully I will share ppr on this platform.

Sail through peeps. Congrats in advance o!!!

**kudos**

Thanks for this info. How long did it take for it to reflect on your WES timeline

2 weeks then; recently they've complained of more customer influx increasing their timeline.

lastbornop:
This Hugh spike is desperation on people's part to be above certain score and as such everyone starts adding extra certificates, experiences et al just to meet up. Forgetting its ripple effect overtime.

The more we keep adding al these, the more the score keeps going up and up....

Or they are simply trying to make it harder to get ITA

I stand to be corrected though

Here's it:

First, any time a general draw is missed for a long period, a lot of people have time to join the pool, So, if we have plenty high scoring people, Most ITA recipients will be higher scores and the last score determines the draw score, which will also be high.

Secondly, PNP: Theres been a lot of it lately and lots of people are high scoring -- 600pts to 100+, then the remainder that will be picked will not be from the higher scoring EE profiles.

That's all. What we need is for these guys to be flushed out quickly.

Also, I've seen some cases of ITA wastages; people declining ITAs and reentering the pool. They deny other people all the time. Why enter the pool when you aren't ready to apply?

Finally, I think the highest it can go is 480+ from regular EE activities. That's PNP being the highest recipients and higher EE candidates being supplements.

chanceux:
Even the ITA is now scarce like pipeborne water.

Abi, Saskatchewan is killing the scores. They've issued over 4k nominations between September and now and those NOI recipients are in line for ITAs, and that's Sask alone, let alone adding other provinces' NOI learners. So, it's a tall order for EE people with 460s, let alone those with less.

Although, the way draws flow between now and December will determine if it will drop rapidly because, NOI issued doesn't mean they will all be qualified for ITA, I think.

I think the best thing is to join the people getting PNP.

okehsmiley:
475!! I give up. With my masters & spouse 2 or more certificate I am on 452 @ 33 yrs. Next year, I would lose 5 marks. I have maxed IELTS 9887. I am honestly disappointed

It's a piddy!!!

Try SINP.

wazzybozz:
Please can u shed more light as regards how this can be done?.Thanks.

Scan your certificate.

Signup for hellofax . com, they will give you 10free fax or so. You can then upload and sent to wes Fax number.

Make sure you save the file with your name and wes reference number. That's pretty much what I did.

Jbaby09:
Good day Fam;

Please a quick clarification

I’m trying to use WES for evaluation..
do I need to send them transcripts from my end?
Cos I’ve read some comments when people talk about faxing their transcripts

Please help weigh in

Just fax your certificate via hellofax . com . Your school will send the transcript.

shygunXs:


So, fast rewind to May 2019, when FST was drawn. CRS hit 470. The next set of draws done saw a shed of about 11points down to 459 over 4 draws. Notice an increase in ITA value from the then regular 3350 to 3600 then up to 3900. That was to cushion the spike in crs trend here; We can see our projected 471 dropping to 459 by December 4, if not 460 later in November 2019.

The events fuelling the influx of people will slow down soon. I hear Canadian graduates getting ITA, We see PNP rolling out a lot, Lot of people completing wes/iqas/ices/ielts and hitting the pool. Bulk of those in the pool in that 451-600 bound are below 460 but entered the pool anyways to secure their tie-breaker spot.

The dynamics of the pool doesn't really tell the true picture of what we are contending with but a whole lot is a fluke. We've seen the crs deflate irrespective of any initial spike, so we should be very optimistic.

Me I'm driving the score down with my mind and positive energy. 460 no be joke. I dont see the score sgetting sustained at a 470 or 466 sef. It will always come and kiss 459 again. At least we did 430 early this year. It's just a cycle.

The painful thing is that some people will now decline the ITA and reenter the pool again, denying people the opportunity repeatedly. Sai!!!

johnnybravo1990:

But what if next cutoff is 1040? Lol. Congrats o.

We should all go PNP or go home!!!
