Your application is still within the processing time and the date for the conference is still in 2 months. Please relax and temporarily get your mind off it.

You can also try sending an e-mail to the member of parliament (MP) of the region to assist you in following up. Although, MP do not have influence in fastracking the applications but most times the immigration authorities tend to give them status update of the stage of the application as at date of enquiry.

Make sure you state all details concisely so the MP can understand it is timebound such that they can read your mail within few minutes and get your message.

You can await more suggestions from the gurus

Vinny102:

Please how can I do that @olasubomy

olasubomy:


Please, find below the link to the site where you have the current members of parliament.

https://www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en/search

Your contact MP should be the one in the region where you are going for the convention since thats the destination of visit.

However, i would agree with ami213 - i think you should exercise a little patience for reasons (1) the application has not passed standard processing times (2) Though, it is time bound but there is still ample time between now and July (3) It is also to avod raising some doubts in the minds of the visa or processing officer as to the intents of visits especially when reminders are coming too early.

I would advise you give it till at least first week of June then you can do a follow up with the MP and even order for your GCMS notes if decision has not yet come by then.

Hopefully, you have a decision soon, just keep hope alive.

First Application
Submitted - 25th January 2022
Biometrics - 28th January 2022
Eligibility Review - 10th March 2022
First Bvl- 30th March 2022
Second Bvl- 11th April 2022
Application Withdrawn- 13th April 2022

I received an email that I requested for application for withdrawal on 25th January the same day I applied. I knew this was an error or glitch because the gcms note I requested in March showed eligibility passed. But I knew there was no time to address that so I just reapplied immediately the same day with same documents.

Second Application

Submitted same day I received withdrawal letter - 13th April 2022
Eligibility Review - 25th April 2022
Bvl and ppr- 27th April


Immediately I reapplied I sent many webforms and email notifying them of the withdrawal error. I sent both my formal application number and the new one.

I have a valid us visa and travel history. So the only documents I submitted was invitation letter stating I am presenting at a conference, valid us visa, employment letter and a copy of the book I am presenting on.

Thanks everyone for all information here. Good luck to everyone still expectant.

Update!!!

I sent my passport to Lagos VFS Apr 7 2022
Received my stamped passport Apr 27 2022

It took approximately 15 working days. I opted for Lagos VFS because my travel date is in few months.


Note: All passports sent to Lagos VFS are being transferred and stamped in Abuja. Hence the reason why passport sent directly to Abuja VFS are stamped and received between 1-5 working days.
