It's really sad to see some of the recent refusals. They should let people know their chances ahead of time instead of wasting their money. However, I don't entirely blame them because our people tend to overdo things. There are individuals seeking asylum in Canada who have a history of holding UK student permits and visit visas, so it's no longer new to them.

Well I will have to see what the GCM note says. Probably travel to Europe come back and try US.

Hi! Please when did you raise the webform and how long did it take to get PPR after raising it? Also how did you the member of parliament? It's been almost 3 months for my mum, I'm also a PR. Just trying to know next steps. Thanks!

Sleek05:
My mum’s PPR is finally out… 3 days shy of 6 months. I sent another webform and sent a message to the Member of Parliament yesterday so that may have pushed it out. I’m a PR btw.

For those that have been waiting longer than 5 months, you may explore those options.

Cheers.

For those that submitted their port to vfs recently after visa approval, can you put me through on how to go about it. Can I use DHL or ups to send the port? I don't live in Abuja or Lagos and the Biometrics was done in Abuja.

Good morning. This is my opinion; at the end of the day, what you want to do is more important. But I do not think applying for your GCMS will affect your application, you are simply asking to know the status of your application, and the agent does not have to know you are doing that. You have waited so long; what harm will it cause for you to request to know why the delay? You have nothing to lose by requesting your GCMS note. But as I said, this is my personal opinion, you have the final say on what you want to do.

I hope this helps

pls did you check uk processimg time that is 1 year comparing it to nigeria that is 5 to 6 month and urs is over 1 year... pls order gcms note without the agent using ur real email becos your visa probably refussed already and ur gcms note is not connected to visa approval or refusal and point of correction,ircc will not call you when visa is ready that not ircc pattern.

Uk processing time is not d same with Nigeria. Except you too u r in d UK, if not, i put it to u that ur application already has a decision, and i pray u weren't banned cos i dont knw y ur agent wouldn't tell u d outcome of ur application.
Pls order for ur gcms note, its free of charge and wont jeopardise anything. It takes 30 days.

Please what does it mean when you get a mail from ircc that ā€œWe updated your application statusā€ but when you check there is no changes on the application.
angie88: 9:35pm On Apr 04
It means either they closed your file after denial or that they updated ur biometrics after u applied again.

There’s a current challenge situation with applicants from Nigeria, as many granted visas for visits or conferences end up overstaying or making asylum claims. This has caused Nigeria to be labelled as the third-largest source of Canada visa overstays, making visa approval rates stricter and refusal rate very high .. While you’ve travelled extensively, clarifying where you’ve travelled can help strengthen your application.

For your visa application their are many video on youtube to guide you step by step on how to apply business/visit visa , complete the process on the IRCC website, providing documents like your port, proof of employment, travel itinerary, invitation letter for the retreat, and financial proof. Your sponsors should provide an invitation letter, sponsorship confirmation, and proof of their legitimacy. Regarding your previous visa denial, be transparent about it, explain the circumstances, and highlight your positive travel history since then. Emphasize strong ties to Nigeria, like landed properties and remote work, to show you’ll return after the retreat.

However, to be honest, with over 13,000 Nigerians who arrived in Canada last year (2024) within eight months to claim asylum, we are likely to see a massive refusal rate for a long time. It’s quite sad!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and insightful response. 13k is quite a number. I'll still like to throw in my application. who knows if luck will be on my side. Thanks once again
