Blackfinegirl:


Congratulations. What passport photo they did use on your visa because I noticed from my application that canada is not asking those of us with usa visa for passport photo.

Canada visa does not come with a passport photo like that of the USA.

Update!!!

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

It took approximately 13 working days. Excluding the Easter holidays.


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.

Congratulations.

Hi,

Anyone else having issues paying into the Sterling bank account for the one way courier to return passport to applicant? Every time I try adding the acct as a beneficiary I get an error that says account not found/cannot retrieve account. I am using the account details below from the VFS website.

The Account name and number : CANADA LOGISTIC COLLECTION ACCOUNT (a/c no 0065165839 )
Bank: Sterling

Thanks

An inquiry from the gurus!
I took my passport, Biometrics letter and the PPR letter to Lagos VFS on the 22nd of April.
They asked I pay about 9,000 naira because I didn't come with a form initially issued when I had Biometrics in 2021.
They later redirected me to DHL to send my passport and other documents to Kenya.
Could you advise why so?
I see people submitting at Lagos VFS why was mine different.
Would appreciate your feedback.

Based on IRCC guidelines, applicants who plan to visit for a duration of 6months or less generally do not need a medical exam except the person plans to work.

You are not supposed to submit your document physically. The only acceptable means of passport collection ( once your passport is requested by IRCC) is by courier dispatch. Send through DHL to your desired VFS either Lagos or Abuja.

Thank you for the feedback.
This means I ought not to pay 9000 at Lekki VFS.
Also, they shouldn't have asked that I send it via DHL to Kenya when it can be processed in Lagos or Abuja.
Do you have an idea on how to track it.
I wonder why they put me through this stress and collected money from me for no reason.
Many thanks.

Please, explain this situation just for clarity, do mean 9,000 naira cash was collected from you at VFS office?

Yes, they said when I had Biometricsin 2021, they gave me a document which I ought to bring with me for PPR submission. But since I didn't have it, I need to pay almost 9000 naira.
Now, from what you have said, the 9000 was for nothing.

That amount is for transmission fee but what i am not sure of is if the transmission fee is still 9,000 naira. I am not aware they collect that physically at VFS office. What i know is that the amount is paid to a designated VFS bank account.

Where you given any evidence of payment?

I am not sure whom you paid to and if it was legit, did you get any receipt? See below for instructions on how to send your passport to vfs via courier, never heard of it being sent to Kenya by the applicant

Is the conference ATU? @Blessed451

Nope not ATU..

Hello Gurus,
Please I need help, how do I get IRCC to send biometric request for my kids who are 14 &15 years old. I mistakenly clicked that I had it done while filling their forms. Now this resulted to them not having biometrics done since 24th March 2022 when I submitted their and also application till date no response from IRCC. The MP told me today that my kids need biometrics as being informed by the IRCC when they requested to know about my application. This is shocking to me as I didn’t realize this mistake earlier.
NOW, pleasehow do I get IRCC to send me the biometric request . Should I withdraw the application and start all over again.I am so confused right now.

I am 1 year old in canada as a student without my kids it’s so hard. I tried to apply for my kids visit visa last December 2nd 2021 months through GCkey and no response from IRCC till March 2022 when I found about this new portal and then applied march 24,2022. I have not withdrawn the application with GC key .Please should I withdraw it too.I am loosing it. I need help. I need to have my kids with me .
Someone should please help me figure this out.
Thank you for your response.

Hi Favored4,

1. When you submitted their application in December last year on GC key, were they not instructed to go for biometrics? I am presuming biometrics should have been done in your first application (December 2021) for them.?

2. Cross-check their UCI number on GC Key and the UCI on the IRCC New portal; are they the same numbers?

Good day bro,from ur last quote concerning my application,i get a reply frm Nairobi embassy dat i may re-apply or wait for the old application to be finalise.am just tryn to stick to input curs its seems the application is under process,by quoting their reply.or what do think my brother?

olasubomy:


You cannot predict when it comes to IRCC. Some applications get processed quickly, while others take a bit longer.
Another option you have is to re-apply on the new portal if the initial application was submitted on the old portal. The new portal seems faster with visit visa applications than the old portal lately, but you will pay another application fee.

But if your purpose of travelling is not super urgent and just for the tourist, I would advise you to be patient more.
You can raise webform and send an email to Lagos, Abuja and Nairobi, but don’t send multiple emails if the purpose of the visit is not timebound or urgent.

I understand the anxiety; try to distract yourself with some other stuff. A decision would come, don’t worry. You can also give It another three weeks, then order your GCMS notes again to compare with the previous if there is any progress in your file.

I don't know what to do next. My application was submitted September 17 2021. I did my biometrics February 3 and that is all. Nothing has happened. I have sent mails and webform. Now they don't even reply me. Please what should i do?

Re-application will start your application from the scratch. It is better to wait since they have given you a specific response.

Lezy:
You can pay with dollar card.

Thank you. We've paid

Reapply using the new portal.
