When did you put as your intended date of traveling?

April was the traveling month I put to come back October, 6 months.

adveert002:
Have you applied for spousal sponsorship before the visitors visa, did you include it in your VV application?

I was just informed that my temporary visa application is in Nairobi, that I should send them web form or email.
I don’t know how long it will take for them to respond.

megastu:
did you do normal application or under the portal? If you applied normally you should consider reapplying under the portal.

Please which one is the normal application?
Because my husband applied for me via IRCC online platform , and I did my biometric January

Posting this update in case someone finds it helpful.

A family member who applied in Dec 2021 to visit us just got PPR request today. We've been the filling the webforms (Nairobi, London, Accra, Lagos) all this while, bugging the MP's office and emailing the various country email addresses but decided to do the following yesterday:
1. FIlled the new webform: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp?v2
2. Emailed ABUJA-IM-Enquiry@international.gc.ca
3. Reached out to the MP's office. MP's office replied yesterday that they reached out to IRCC to either treat the application soonest or get back to us if they need more information

Long story short, PPR came in this morning.

Please How can I reach the MP's office?

I think the “normal application” he meant is appli through the old portal. We’ve seen people who applied through the old IRCC portal decided to apply via the new portal and got their response faster

Wow! Congratulations. I am so happy for you.

Yes I applied for spousal sponsorship before the visitor visa.
No I didn’t include it in my VV application but I informed them on the web form and through email.

Okay I am in the same shoes too, I am beginning to suspect this delay is deliberate, to spousal VV with on going spousal sponsorship applications

Just a thought sha

Please how did you get this information

adveert002:

Please how did you get this information

My husband called IRCC about the delay of my VV application and how it has exceeded the normal processing time, they checked my details on their system and checked the country processing my application.
They told him it’s Nairobi that I should contact them directly true web form or email.

Marytee2:

Well my fear with this new IRCC portal is how sure are you that when you cancel your old application on the old portal your application on the new portal will be approved?
I watched a video on YouTube to know the difference between the new and old IRCC portal they said the new IRCC portal has more Denied applications than the old portal, tho it’s faster than the old portal.
So I am just being scared and hopeful.

For spousal sponsorship have you gotten your AOR?
I applied January for spousal sponsorship visa, additional information was asked for, resent my application March 11, and up till now I haven’t gotten my AOR.
I am beginning to think if this Ukrainian war has affected the speed of application.

Cheers to your little one. I had a similar experience as yours. My SP PPR came on Feb 2021 (i didn't inform IRCC about my pregnancy when i applied) my intake was for May 2021, my baby's due date was July 2021 and my spouse's OWP was not yet in process at that time.

What i did was contacted my school and postponed to September 2021 intake stating my reason due to child birth. I gave birth and a month after i applied for his international passport and submitted a visiting visa application which was processed on the old portal. Also you will need to update everyone's file by uploading the family form (i can't remember the form's name) and report your newborn.

When you submit your baby's Visiting Visa application few days or weeks after, send an emotional email and webform stating a good reason why you need your baby's application expedited, apart from emotions you need to state facts too and let your email subject be "URGENT"

When i get home i can check the documents i uploaded for my baby. it's basically just your documents, his passport, birth certificate, vaccination card/ baby book, letter of intent, and a few addition funds

Thank you so much

Congrats on the birth of your baby.

You would need to contact IRCC notifying them of the birth of your baby, try to send them lots of messages until you hear from them, meanwhile what you can do now is to get a new international passport and a birth certificate for your newborn while you wait for further directive from the Canadian authorities.

I am not too sure about starting a new application, but I know the IRCC should be aware of your situation so they can process to ur little ones visa much faster.

hope others can give their inputs. Thanks.

Thank you

Oh wow you have gone far, I guess it’s getting your eligibility update that is left.
I am hoping I get my AOR this new month June.
I am following the sponsorship thread but no recent information.

Ah if you are not vaccinated you won't be allowed board a plane or cross the POE.

Pre entry test is no longer required for fully vaccinated travellers and you have to fill an arriveCAN form showing vaccination status etc prior to departure.

You can call the airline you plan to use and check Canada.ca for more info.

Cheers

Which one is spoual sponsorship and what's the meaning of AOR please?

Normal application is through GCKey.

There is a platform for family reunification applications. under this platform your application will be processed in less than 60days.

Sometimes it exceeds 60 days depending on IRCC work load it's not static I saw a reply they gave someone last week after he sent a web form and the reply was that they are sorry for delay in making a decision now that they have volume of work load and so the stipulated time on the website may not be meet.
Kindly bear with us
So these days it depends

Very true, anytime I send a web form that is the reply I get that they are experiencing a high volume of request, so their response may be delayed.

Spousal sponsorship is when your husband or your wife who is a citizen or has a permanent resident of Canada is sponsoring his wife or her husband to come join them in Canada.
Then after you apply you wait to get your Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) that you are fit to be sponsored.

Hi,
Please I applied for visitor's Visa on the 21st of January. There has been no progress since and based on what I read on this thread started sending webform to IRCC and emails to Abuja, Nairobi and London. Well I sent another webform to IRCC this morning and got the response below but do not understand the bolded part of their request.
Am I supposed to submit documents that I uploaded during the application?. In the first webform I sent I informed them that I am currently in the UK on holiday and would like to submit my passport here and I attached the flight ticket indicating my use of the first leg and my return by end of June to Nigeria. Is that what they want me to send again? Am confused, someone should please advise me. Thanks.

Thank you so much for the information

I think what they are asking here is all the application documents you submitted initially when you did the application the flight ticket you showed now is an additional document and that's not what they are asking here
