Hello everyone, I have my appointment coming up soon but my port is going to expire in less than 6 months on the day of interview, I just want to confirm if I can still go ahead for the interview. (P.s I have booked an appointment at NIS for capturing but it won’t be Available till after the interview)

I have the same issue with my mum’s application. Got bvl yesterday but last update is May 11

sweeten:
Please is the tracker still been updated? I got my BVL yesterday but tracker is showing April 19th as last update

My aunty’s visa took about two weeks while my mother in-law’s visa came out after two months. The timeline is unpredictable and is determinant on many factors

Cyclops33:
Hi Good people, please I need some clarification, A relative applied for a visit visa for Canada via an agent and the visa processing took less than 3 months till visa is out, I know Canada delays a lot so out of curiosity I asked if they took his fingerprint and he said No because he previously applied before and got a refusal so finger print wasn’t needed. I know for Uk and other countries fingerprints are taken every time you apply even if it’s immediately after the refusal. Experienced people do Canada ignore to take fingerprints if reapplying? Also is is possible to get VV in less than 3 months ? He is convincing my cousin to do same and I just tot something isn’t right, I know the minimum processing time is 1 year + even on Canada website it says 785 days.

That explains why it’s not showing on the dashboard

josephb:
I think he has done the biometrics before, maybe in a previously made application(s).

When did you get your biometric instructions letter?

MightyRance:




I have only travelled to Turkey

+1 (888) 242-2100, but the call was not helpful because most visit visa’s are treated outside Canada so the agent was unable to view my profile

opezi:
what is the customer service number pls?

I noticed the anomaly some minutes after submission. I sent webform explaining the situation around January and I’m yet to get a response to that effect. I’ll call the customer service today

olasubomy:


Hope you have cancelled this one that you submitted today before IRCC starts processing it. Maybe you are not doing something correctly.

Regarding the one you submitted in November, when you did notice that it was showing another person details after submission?

Send IRCC a webform with detailed explanation of the issue and you can also call IRCC agent to explain the issue just in case they can rectify any anomaly before a decision is taken on the file. But, first be sure you are not the one making any mistake.

Hello everyone, filled my Mum’s visit visa application around November but it’s showing another persons details , tried filling another application using another email but it’s showing the same person details. It’s showing the person biometrics details and name, bear in mind my mum has never applied for Canada visa yet it’s showing biometrics details. What can I do to rectify this

You should send them a message at least 3 times a day, that was what I did and an agent was assigned to my file a week after. I got my PPR a month after

Rapture07:
21 months post Aor the wait continues.

Congratulations, can I get ’s vfs email address please

COPR Timeline

As at the time I got PPR, info on this thread alluded to VFS being one of the more responsive. Followed the directions provided on here and on the VFS site to compile the required documentation.

June 7th: Drop-off DHL HQ for VFS
June 9th: Delivered to VFS

No acknowledgement whatsoever from VFS about receipt so I started to worry about the status of things and sent a couple of emails. Got generic/template replies.

June 21st: Profile update email from IRCC (Counterfoil generated June 20th)
June 21st: Decision envelope received at VFS
June 22nd: DHL pickup initiated
June 24th: Decision envelope collected by DHL
June 28th: COPR delivered

Took 3 weeks from drop-off to delivery.

Many thanks to all the regular contributors. Got most of the needed info by reading and searching through the various parts. (A couple 100 pages left to catch up on the Living in Canada thread :p)

Hello everyone, I was sent this tonight and I’m not sure how to go about it. Is there a document to be filled?

Hello, I just noticed I made a mistake on my husbands education while filling the form. I’m asked to fir schedule A form , is it advisable to correct it? (Ps: he’s non accompanying)

Hello, I was asked to submit schedule A and pcc but I’m not sure if I’m to submit for my husband as well as he is un accompanying and there is no placeholder for his

My husband submitted his port on the same date and got his port collection mail last week Friday

Jola36:
Good day house
I chose the 'keep my port option'...Had my application submitted since 1st of Feb in VI
Email was sent for the submission of my port on 6/5/2022 and I did
How long does it to receive the collection mail?
I'm seriously tired as I need my port back urgently for a work trip and that was the reason I chose this' keep my port' option
obviously it was a terrible mistake
If I need to withdraw the port, how long will it take?
At this point, I really don't care about the visa anymore, I just need my port back

My advise to all,' keep my port' option is a terrible decision

Thank you

We verified the information on file and can confirm that:

-The eligibility is currently valid.

-The criminal background verification is currently valid.

Please what does this mean?. Thanks

Hello everyone, I’m currently processing my ppr without my partner. I would like to know if it’s possible to sponsor my partner from Nigeria after getting my resident permit

Did mine for 5000 at alagbon

Cheerfulmum:
If means 7500 per person. If I'm doing with my spouse, we should be budgeting 15k? Is there someone else that takes cheaper than 7,500 pls?

It means you are yet to submit the update.

Allegory:
Please my EE profile is still very new so I don't totally understand how it works. I updated my profile two days ago with hubby's ielts scores but until now my crs score hasn't changed and profile is showing 'update not submitted.' Am i missing something or do updates on your profile usually take this long.

I used Nigeria credit card for mine about 2 weeks ago

Allegory:

Hi, I wanted to apply for UK PCC and saw where they wrote that Nigeria was one of the countries banned from making online payments on the site. How did you pay?
