14weeks.. hmmm let the waiting continues.

It will apply to those who applied for their Work permit when it changes.

Bab5:
Hello guys....check my account yesterday and noticed some changes in IRCC web, most especially the date I read the messages sent into my account (it showing read on may 14) I hope this is not a problem. And am I the only one with this changes.

My application is 2month counting now(9weeks to be precise)....no updates except biometrics completed and background checking in progress.

I also noticed the processing time has changed to 14weeks now.....

No cause for alarm. Its system upgrade that changed it. If you remember the processing time as at when you applied, then if your application has exceeded that time then you can send them a message on application update through their CSE form

Hi, My review eligibility status has changed to "we are reviewing". This is the 6th week since I submitted my application and the visa processing time at the time of submission was estimated at 7weeks. Will I be expecting a response from them soon? I applied 27th of April. I did upfront medicals too. I am a Pharmacist and got admitted for a masters in public health at the University of Western Ontario (a top school in Canada). What is the review eligibility process about?

Hope for the best soon.

Phocusjosh:

Hi, this is the 5th week since I applied for my study permit! As at the time that I put in my application, the estimated processing time as stated in CIC site was 7weeks! I submitted via the paper route and even did my biometrics same day but it still hasn't been updated as completed. Eligibility review hasn't even commenced. The only thing that was updated on my page about 2weeks ago was my upfront medical report, which shows "passed medicals"! Is this slow normal? I submitted my application on the 27th of April, and my estimated time for a response is 15th June. I got admitted for a one year Masters of Public health at University of Western Ontario which is a highly ranked school in Canada and I am a Pharmacist.

Note: My school resumes 2nd September!

calm down. When you apply through paper route. Biometric remain that way they don't update it. Everyone should note that except online app , biometric will be updated to completed. So there is no cause for alarm OK. As for your application please give it some little time again. OK.

Martswoll:
Guys not being desperate, but what’s making my application take this long? Even after I’ve passed My medicals on the 20th, I applied since 28th February .

I had the notion that approvals comes fast once you pass the medicals.

I was called to do medicals btw

calm down latest Friday u should get it. Congrats

babzy90:
I just checked one of the places i worked previously and its not on the CAC website. And I listed it as part of my employment history. Is that a problem?

You guys should stop bothering yourself about nothing. Different VO with different ways of tackling application is the cause of all this. The way VO A will handle application X is different from the way VO B will handle application Y. Everyone application has different case. Please my people don't get too bothered about this CAC stuff cos it won't apply to all application.

If your dad company is in operation then he must have been paying tax at federal level....asked him there must be a consultant he his working with.....or he his doing it by himself.......if a consultant is filing for him you would know....and when the consultant is submitting his audited financial statements or unaudited financial statement or statement of affairs to revelant authorised such as firs....3 copies will be printed....to firs....they will give him his own stamp copy...remaining 2copis with them..the other copy will be forwarded to CAC ..


Well CAC has started closing business names that are not remitting annual due or doing filing.....all do notices are giving before any action are taken......I work with an Auditing firm ....tax department to be precise. ....I know a little but I don't know all....

Even that one thousand for annual filing is for the first year of registration of business and continue every year before July 1st after July 1st if you didn't pay the one thousand nairaland it is assumed you made late payment and it will increased to 3500 for the year you didn't pay the 1000...


Oga wealth360 I greet oooo

I greet you pass. How every nah?

bbclue:
That is since the business was registered he didn't pay for yearly filing or file annual return to show the name is still in operation


The yearly filing is 1000 that is of your business has not commenced .....or you choose the annual filing by consulting with and Accounting firm to prepared statement of affairs

I don't believe this. My dear I can't remembered the last time my dad said he pays annual dues or this yearly filling u are talking about but his company is still registered and still there.

Jewel80:
My dad has not been filing documents with them since he registered in 1997. Guess they have wiped out such people. Now it feels like i am back to square 1. I was just about to submit my application then i decided to check here for comments and i saw kemdy's, i rushed to search for my dad's too.

Please what if i submit his updated tax clearance and leave out the cac outdated registration, i feel is beta to not submit what I cannot proof anymore. Are there applicants that get approved with tax clearance and no business registration? Cos i think people can pay personal income tax without being registered with cac ryt? There are many people who doing trade that earn good money without being registered under cac, moreso, he has paid my full tuition and sent in living expenses. Please advice me, i want to get this right..thanks

All registered business names are on CAC website. Just type the name of the company. Eg. ABC not ABC Nigeria limited it will appear. My father's business name since 1984 is till there

Jimmychuks2018:
Applied 19th April, biometrics 20th still on background check. What do they even look out for background check especially for someone who has previously applied and was refused!! Are they going to repeat security check again? Just wondering.

quote author=wealth360 post=67934631]Aii. It will end in praise. Once the background check is done the line BTW reviewing for eligibility to approval or PPr is very short. Keep praying

if background check was completed before in d previous application I don't think it should take more than 1 month to update that. Otherwise maybe they need more time to check new and added documents u used in the application again. My tot

ami05:
Thank you!! They are still reviewing his background check. I really pray and hope it will be approved by God's grace.

My husband application is 13 weeks now and nothing from CIC yet apart from Medical passed which was update like 2 months ago, so i called CIC yesterday on his behalf from Canada but I was told my husband should call the Visa office himself in Nigeria. I am really worried hmmmm
Question
Is it possible for application to be refused despite Medical passed and NO need of additional requiremens?

Again if it is paper application your husbby did, u can't call CIC on his behalf. Let him call Lagos office himself. Please don't call them again just leave it for husbby

Bab5:
Online application.... I didn't do medicals upfront. Still waiting for request, surprised nothing till now.

Let's be patient and hopeful.

My dear just be patient okay. Some times silence is a positive sign of approval. Medical passed doesn't matter now. What u sud watch out for now is if CIC are done with his background check

Bab5:
Thinking same too @mikel88. Maybe for those of us with application in process can state our timelines.

My timeline
Submitted April 2nd
Biometrics April 6th
7weeks counting now....

paper or online? If online did you do upfront medical?

Documents Submitted

All forms involved:
* Application for work permit made outside of Canada
* Schedule 1 (Application for temporary residence IMM5257B)***
* Family information Form
* Digital Photo
* Passport biopage
* Proof of relationship (we submitted our marriage certificate and just a few of our wedding photos)
* Letter of explanation (we promptly noted here that she's currently out of work and that her financial responsibilities would lay on me and my mum in law)
* Three of my most recent pay stubs plus a six months statement of account from my mum in law
* My employment letter
* Letter from my employer confirming i still work with them and stating my intent of bringing my wife to Canada
* A copy of her resume/cv
* Copy of news paper publication to prove her change of name after marriage


***Schedule 1 - Application for temporary residence IMM5257B

In my opinion that is the right form to fill out for work permit applications. The form I've seen most people fill is IMM5257E - Application for Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa), take note of the names.

In IMM5257B you aren't so many questions as how long you're staying, how much you are bringing and etc. All thats asked outside your personal information is previous travel, if you've had affiliation with the military, government positions and if you've witness desecration of religious buildings.

On IMM5257E, you're asked your purpose of visit, length of stay, name and relationship of who you are visiting, your education and work history and of course your background information.

So, in my honest opinion I think visitors visa form comes with too many information and might take a little longer since they have too many things to carry out a back check on but yes, people who fill that out do also get approved.

Congratulations bro. Wanna ask you is this her first application?

Austinpee4:
Individuals who have legal status in Canada aside PR or a Canadian Citizen CAN request for the GCMS file. The law allows this. See the screenshot attached.

God bless you bro. Didn't see this earlier I would not have dropped that message

jnyuwa02:
It's clearly stated that under the freedom of information act, you have to be a permanent resident or citizen of Canada to request for someone's record. These are the kind of things that come back and bite you in the rear end. It's like voting . Only citizens can vote. If you go out to vote claiming you are a citizen, nobody will stop you. But after a while you come to apply for PR or citizenship and it's found in your record that you circumvented the laws by illegally circumventing the rules of something, that is grounds for clear denial. Better warn those people.

Guy u can misled people oooo. Who told you if you are not a citizen or PR you can't apply for GCMS? Please confirm before you drop anything here. To those who are concerned please it is legal for anyone who reside in Canada to help apply for GCMS @$5. Thanks

Samchi2014:
Hello Sir, I finally linked my application online but the background check said we are processing your background check, Sir am I still on track ? Pls reply me Sir

yes you are on track ooooooo. Just keep the faith up. How long is your application?

Any updates in the house?

Samchi2014:
Thanks for the reply. I submitted on the 13th of December 2017

have you linked your application? If yes have you seen any updates so far? Background check or anything?

tangled:
I apologize for the late response. These are the documents:

Letters of explanation to address the initial refusal
Statements of Account(spouse and I)
Reference letter from work (spouse)
My Enrolment letter
My Course plan
My Student account
Passport biodata page (child and i)
My Study permit
Child's visitor's visa
Paystubs from my part time employment

From my own experience, I think the VO wants to know that you have enough to take care of your expenses.

Nice. From your conclusion can you please share with us how much you declared it will help others to know how well to go about it.
Thanks
Congratulations
