Hello, I got PPR within 2 weeks of initiating the whole process

Application submission: Feb 26th
Biometric letter: Feb. 27th
Capturing: March 3rd
BVL: March 10th
Passport request: March 10th.

I used the new link. I have no travel history. I used my two accounts to show POF. I have a married citizen brother who invited me. I will be there for the easther holiday.




So my question, can I deliver my passport in person at the Lagos office? I used them for the biometrics

OloriOfMontreal:


If you check the status of your application does it say something like "Your application is approved, and you should send your passport----etc"?
If so then it's likely they've sent your PPR to the physical address stated on the application.

Same thing happened to my spouse's application; though we didnt get BVL (uptil now) but it states our application was approved and we were waiting for PPR until we were told its been mailed to the physical address; and since we knew we would likely not receive a physical copy we had to send an email to IRCC requesting them to send the PPR via email.
If that's the case here, I'll advice you reach out them.

They avoid sending the PPR via email if it's not been up to 4 weeks since it was mailed, but yours seems to be over already. All the best!

Hello @19CannyMum

This delay in your application after receiving 2 BVL is quite unusual and saddening. Have you reached out to the MP? Did you check your spam messages recently? Also did you try sending an emotional message via webform daily? I will advise you also put a call through to Nairobi office after the holiday.

This is just a phase and it will end in praise for you.

Hello everyone, I arrived Canada yesterday..

Airline -Ethiopia Airlines
Ticket- Return 640k
Airline was one of the best .. Premium flight.. I don’t know why people criticize that flight.. Tho I prayed to God for the best of the best Ethiopian airbus and Indeed it wasn’t different from those times I travel with Emirates...

Stop over - Lagos to Addis Ababa, to Durblin Ireland , then Toronto ( Pearson)

Food was nice too..

Documents for traveling...
Muritala- Covid pcr test, covid vaccine, ArriveCAN, Acceptance letter, passport , Ticket
Bag is 23kg 2 pieces.. Hand luggage 7kg

Toronto
When you arrive you’ll go through a self declaration process and scan ur passport! It will print a slip at conclusion..Very easy I can promise you

Move to first Immigration, he’d ask you for ur passport , Self declaration slip.. Then few questions! He later asked how was I feeling , Axious, excited, scared I smiled and said of course I’m excited with accent ... Na as I enter flight I don download accent for my tongue.. Emi laye mi...lol..
No big deal be with God and be yourself


Second Immigration is for study permits
He requested for passport,School Acceptance letter, Tuition fee, passport .. And few questions.. Be with God and be yourself.. No lies be true ..


My first application was refused .. He asked if I applied before .. I told him yes and I was refused .. Asked why I told him the truth and said okay ...

Issued my Study permit and gave me 2 years again ... My course is 7 months .. Don’t forget !! Be with God and be yourself..
I told him what next , he said get ur bag and get off here ... All happened less than 10 minutes.. I was out ... Getting out !!! Omo cold told me bros welcome !!! Actually sweet cold ooo ..
All my pimples started falling down , skin started to dry and cool like butter.I swear I don fine .. Just one minute cold ..... My people didn’t arrive quick.. The cold now said bros how far ...? Omo at that time my hands wear deep in my pockets and covered my body .. The thing don dey pass play ..
Guys don’t worry it will end in premium praise .. Don’t forget be with God and be yourself... Cheers �
I’m still in complete awe...

With TRVs (visit visa or work permit) the applicant needs to show that they plan to return to their home country. This is what your spouses need to focus on while applying. You having a COPR (or PR when you land), is a close tie to Canada, your spouses need to provide ties that are greater in Nigeria e.g. stable job, operational business, aged parents, land etc otherwise the VO may think your spouse is more likely to stay back in Canada if they go.

You may want to consider landing first (having applied for PR as non accompanying), so at least your own immigration status is finalised before you begin exploring TRV for your spouse.

The links for visit visa application are:

Amen, it will end in praise.

No news from MP, no need to check spam because there've been no changes to profile, still in submitted status. Yet nothing in spam sha lol.

I'm done with sending daily webforms. Sent one week or tell weeks ago sha, no response yet. I'll request GCMS notes this week, just out of curiosity to see what led to the double BVL.

Sincerely I've removed my mind. Make dem continue their craze. I'm no longer expectant or anxious. Let God's timing prevail.

ami213:
All these agent be doing the most, people have gotten their visa approved without prior travel history. The fact that you have travelled to the UK thrice is an added advantage.

Please proceed to apply on the new portal with all the necessary documents to support your application and also In the travel history section, do upload your stamped passport pages to the UK.

bcolat21:
Hi ami213,

Pls what could be a valid reason for having no travel history, as for me I don't have and my reason for not having is that I haven't had the need to travel abroad for anything but right now, I want to visit my sibling in Canada as we haven't seen since he left naija in 2019, is this reason valid enough?

Thank you in anticipation of a response from you

Hello Everyone,
i submitted a Visiting Visa Application (Tourist), Hotel Reservation, on the 23rd of November, 2021. This is the first time i will be applying to the Canadian embassy. However i have long travel history to other countries. I used the GC key. Biometrics was done 2 days after but since then, silence. Proposed Travel date is first week in April. I have read comments about a new portal. Should i keep waiting or re-apply on the new portal?

jogojogo:
I am unable to proceed beyond employment details, applying for visitor's visa on the new portal

When I clicked save and continue , it does not go beyond this point
Any advise please?

BabygirlE:
Congratulations

Jyde1234:
Good Afternoon House ,

I applied for a visa to attend a conference scheduled to hold between 20 and 24 of next month .
I submitted my application on 29/11/2021, biometrics was done on 10/12/2021. No response from them since and the conference is less than one month.
Can I still reapply using the new portal considering the time frame ? Or should I just get a new invitation from the organizers for the June edition ? If yes can I still submit the same documents e.g bank statements ..

ami213:
Your application is just a month old, it will definitely get to your turn. There are people whose application is over 3 months on the new portal.
