Wow, congratulations

I submitted October 29th, I should be expecting response any moment from now.

I want to confirm, did you apply that you travelling to reunite with a family member or you a travelling as a tourist. I guess processing is faster for applications of people reuniting with family member.

I didn’t receive any update till this morning . I have a valid US visa which I believe helped out cos I uploaded only passport, marriage certificate and my husbands study permit.. I am not even employed at the moment. I am so grateful to God. The mail dropped earlier today.
Congratulations! I also applied for a visitors visa on the 25th, still waiting for them , I have a valid usa visa too and I’ve been to the usa several times , the application was too short and too good to be true so I sent additional docs via webform.

As at 1 December, travellers from Nigeria will not be allowed entry into Canada. Except they are PR and citizens, they can but have to do a PCR test at a transit point.

Simply put: if you are coming as a tourist or visitor; stay in Nigeria until the restrictions are lifted!

Note that Abuja is faster than Lagos and you will pay a transmission fee if you send to a different vfs than where you did your biometrics.

I guess there’s no reason to rush now given the travel ban. I was going to send my Mum’s passport to Ghana directly but I’ll just do Lagos. Saves costs since she can’t travel now till they lift the ban or introduce some exemptions. A blanket ban doesn’t make sense, COVID is apparently here to stay, we have to learn to live with it.
