Hello all, the applicant has been denied in the past and mistakenly answered No to the question "Have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry to, or ordered to leave any country or territory?" This was a genuine mistake as he fully understands that IRCC has access to his application history. He misinterpreted the phrasing of the question, focusing on the latter part of it. What should we do?

Beframia:

I think the polystyrene should be cost effective. I have just installed POP on an approximately 80sqm space, it cost me 30 bags Pop cement, 42kg fillers, 3kg binding wire, and other materials like soaps, groundnut oil, nails. Was charged #1,300/sqm for labour for simple designs. Check the costs of all these and compare with the polystyrene quotation you got.

Hi did this person dona good job? Can I have his contact?

waywardpikin:


I’m so sorry about this. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Did you use GCKey or IRCC Secure Portal to apply?

Have you been able to use the tracker yet?

damyzel:
Dear Friends in the house,

Very Sad, My entire family of 4 application was refused today.
"August 21, 2024 We regret to inform you that you do not meet the eligibility requirements. Please see the final decision below" what a day.
Submitted August 5th
Biometric for Spouse August 15th
Refusal August 21st.
@Zubizareta and gurus in the house. i need help.

oh my😢 so sorry 😞 what portal did you use?

techgen:
I did my upfront medicals on the 13th August, and less than 2hrs I received refusals notification….funny enough, my eligibility started same day….probably they want me to reapply sharply for approvals.

Although, I have ordered my GCMS note…and regardless of these, I will fire again before it comes out, I have no intention of deferring…I’ll write to the varsity that I will resume late.

I see, wish you all the best

techgen:
How did you guys filled your application that’s taking this long to get an update…I submitted on the 23 July and got a refusal on the 15th of August…my resumption is in September 4th….I’ll definitely put up a reapplication once my upfront medicals is out and by also addressing the VO concerns and my visa is sure to be out by 13th September by faith.

I won’t give up, without putting up a fight.

Hi, so sorry about the delay. When did you do your upfront medical?

Hoelujohn:

June 13th. Upfront medicals updated to pass July 3

congratulations. How did you submit your upfront medical information sheet? My brother's own has not been updated too and it's been one month since he did his upfront medical

giselle237:
Different strokes for different folks. I checked your username and the visa(s) you have. You can try your luck.

Back to feed you back. I was granted. To think I forgot to attach my visas from other countries to proof the travel history I claimed in the form. Thank God for his mercies!

giselle237:
If you have already submitted and made biometrics appointment then you have already applied. You are only waiting to give your fingerprints

what do you advice I do? Should I cancel and request for a refund while a fill a new application when it is less than 3 months to my proposed travel date? Or I should risk it?

Can I apply for a UK visa more than 3 months in advance (can I apply on , say, September 1and put my arrival date in UK as Jan 1 for example). I have already submitted the application and my biometrics appointment have been made.

What do you advise I do?

pufframmy:
congratulation what are the documents submited when applying

Nothing special. The regular statement of accounts and marriage cert with children's bc. Also cac documents and previous visas with entry and exist stamps.

meljoe:
Congratulations , what’s the visa validity you were given ?

till my current passport expires. 4 years plus

puffmama:
Congratulations, did you have valid visas to other countries ?
Did you have to book an appointment for your biometrics or you just walked in .

Yes, I have a valid US visa and several other expired schengen visas. I booked an appointment for Biometrics. You can not walk in for Biometrics.

So I just picked up my passport from VFS. Below is my application timeline for those who are submitting for visit/tourist visa.

Application submitted- July 9, 2023
Biometrics completed at VFS Lagos - July 17, 2023
Biometrics validity letter - July 29, 2023
PPR - July 29, 2023
Passport submission at DHL in Gbagada - July 29, 2023
Eligibility completed: August 10, 2023
Passport pickup email from VFS Lekki - August 10, 2023

The process, from the day I submitted to the day I picked up my passport took 1 month and 1 day . What God cannot do doesn't exist. I am still in awe of how fast this was because I am not even planning to travel this year, my application says I will be traveling for summer in June 2024.

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

kdfemi:

You have to book appointment, if you are not in a rush you can book appointment, you might be able to get an early date, if you are rushing you can use courier service. From my experience it took them one week before they acknowledged my passport, it took a total of 3 weeks to collect my Passport counting from the day i dispatched my passport

Thank you. The earliest date is 3 weeks away though, so it is practically the same timeline. Did you use DHL or Ups? Was it a two way or one way?

meljoe:
Congratulations , is it the new portal you used and if it is , did you generate code before registering ?

Yes, I did.

Namzee99:


Congratulations 🥂
Was is study or visit visa?

Visit

Hi guys! A silent follower!

I am a first time applicant. I did my biometrics on the 17th of this month and got a BVL and PPR today.

Can I walk in to Vfs Lekki to submit my passport or I need to book an appointment? I don't want to use the courier option because of the stories of delays I have been reading here...

Ruskov:


Follow normal visa application (separate application)
1.) Use old portal : http://cic.gc.ca OR
2.) Use new portal

You can apply on the new portal.

Generate invitation code
https://ircc.canada.ca/visit-visiter/en/get-account-ircc-portal/

Portal for application
https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en

3.) In the area of documents , include a cover letter indicating you have visas with your visa numbers and visa stickers (if possible) , and that you are responsible for funding the baby's trip etc. Show birth certificates showing you have a tie to the baby.

4.) If it's the same application, on the form include the child's name , indicate the baby will come with u to Canada.

That's it I think , it covers all.

In the area of documents for the new portal, is it OK to attach documents that doesn't relate to the section you are attaching it to as a way to attach more documents?

My documents are enormous and I have used compressed them to the lowest point, but they are still more than 2mb. I see a part where they asked for employment letter, can I attach some of my documents there?

Hi all.

Is it possible to fill a new form after booking an appointment? I plan on rescheduling my appointment and this will definitely affect the travel dates I filled in my visa application form. How do I go about this please

Typically, before you can be issued a certificate of sponsorship (COS) by your potential employer. You must have been offered employment in the UK which meets the minimum pay for immigrants.

On accepting the offer, you go through some screening which varies amongst employers. Every employer/organization have specific onboarding activities which varies from background checks, filling of forms, signing some agreements etc.

You are expected to also have prove your knowledge of English language, TB test results (All this have been stated in the first post).

Once you submit all the necessary documents to your employer, they will start processing your COS. You don't have to do anything else but wait patiently till they send it to you. Once you receive the COS, you quote the COS ref number on your visa application.

Let me know if there is any other contribution you think might be helpful.

Hiiiii pls I sent you a DM

Sheezybobby:
I have a question to ask.

1. Since B1/B2 non-immigrant visa is 2years, If I want to travel to US, and was interviewed by the VO and I tell him/her that I will be staying in US maximum of 3weeks and instead I Stayed more than 1years for me to Work.. did I break any rules?

Reason I think no rules braked is because I didn't exceed the 2years limit.


Kindly help out with the question, am confused

Na WA for you o which kain question be this sef? Work for 1 year with a visit visa?

DEMMSSHERIFAT:


underage visa can apply now for visit visa , but presently there is no employment visa for Nigeria nationality

HI ma. Could you please help with info on this? The agent I spoke with said they will deny an underage application.

Tilda25:
The IW was created for us to help each other out but sadly, we now have a bunch of overzealous newly appointed admins who believe he/she can remove people out of the group without any prior notification. By so doing, you are tolling with people's chances of getting a date which is completely unfair. The group was much better and organised before now. It's sad to see that it was those who craved to be a part of the group that are now trying to play mini gods.
So sorry you were removed without prior notification, we will all get a date hopefully. This is a very sensitive time for everyone. I hope you get back in. If they are worried about agents getting in, a background check would be appropriate before boothing anyone out of the group.

Was there a particular reason you submitted ur business account statement? ECO sef said he doesnt understand why u are mixing up funds between the two accounts, personal and business... i also dnt even understand how yur budget also was 3 million.
Jehova nissi these guys dnt care about 3 million naira budget and dnt care about ur multiple credits and debits. I sincerely doubt you read this thread if not you would have understood this was a major error from your side.

And yes their major wahala is how your money is made, what is happening in ur account, what is not happening in it and then if u can afford the trip, not only if u can afford the trip.

I submitted my business account statement as a proof of the origin of the monies. What do I do now?

.

opomulero:


yes, i couldnt use the former one due to coro

This your Roqqu, I created an account few minutes ago and I can't seem to login with the password. It is saying invalid characters in password. If they cannot get correctly something as a seamless login, I don't know If I can trust them with my money o
