Thank you very much. Will wait for the gcms report. its almost 30days already. Meanwhile, in preparation for plan B, can you please confirm if admission letter from school is required for the child
letsfarmnigeria:


I would have suggested you wait for the GCMS note before you submit the SOWP this will guide you to know exactly what he went wrong and the real reason for the delay on this application this is to forestall rushing for nothing because if reasons for this delay are not known how are sure the SOWP may not have issues again so after getting the GCMS note if you want to apply for the SOWP good and fine.
All the best as you make a decision

Pls can anyone help me with any site I can book a flight itinerary..

Or is it compulsory I pay for flight,I don't want to pay for flight and visa is out or ready...Pls I need guidance on how to get a flight itinerary

Also how much should be available for funds for stay?

Thank you everyone
book flight only when you get visa. Funds available is subjective for you situation. Someone staying in an hotel and some staying with friend or family wont spend same amount for the trip

I applied late last year.

My wife submitted an application in December of last year, but they have yet to respond. She had intended to travel to Canada in March 2022, but that time has now passed. She is unsure of her next move concerning this visa application.

She should relax. As long as she did the right things, she would definitely hear from them. I actually applied in October to be precise. They issued mine today.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Drawer: 4:47pm On Aug 04, 2022
Congratulations. I’ve gotten my PPR in advance. I will testify here tomorrow Amen �


You need to add the yellow slip for biometrics, consent letter etc. kindly read your PPR letter for further informations.
If you’re sending to Abuja, don’t forget to pay transmission fee of #9,410 and 990naira for sms. Please verify from others to be sure. All the best and enjoy your holiday with your kid.

Thank you all for the pointers on passport submission.

Here is my full gist.

I landed in Canada in April and hubby applied for visit visa for himself and our 3 year old daughter in March before I left Nigeria. He updated his profile with my SIN and ID Card via webforms when i got to Canada in April. The plan was for them to come for summer vacation, but after about 2 months of no update on his dashboard, we started sending mails and webforms to Nairobi, our first GCMS note came out in June with no major development on our application aside from criminality passed in March, then I contacted MP. The feedback was the same as the GCMS note and that it's still within processing time, that nothing can be done , so we should stil wait it out. We continued to send mails and webforms and at a time hubby sent mails to all the visa office emails he could find here (about 50+ of them) still, only few responded that he should direct any enquiry or webform to where our application was being processed (Nairobi).

All through the process, we continued in prayer and thanksgiving relentlessly.
Last month i contacted another MP after the first MP became unresponsive. He spoke to IRCC on our behalf and told us that, our application was just with other routine application and nothing major is going on with it, that also there is backlog with the processing office, he put in an escalation request, and 2 days later, they requested for consent letter. A week later we received our PPR......Glory be to God forever more. GOD came through on time for us. I return all thanks and Glory to Him, for Jesus never fails.

Documents submitted

Detailed LOE/SOP (about 4 pages)
POF (Bank statements, with mybankstatement tickets) and explanation of major money movement in and out of the accounts.
Travel History: He has been to the Uk twice and the US twice in the past 7yrs, but our last application to Canada and US in 2019 were both refused.
Land docs
PFA Statement
Financial investments
Vehicle Proof of ownerships
Introductory letter from office
Leave Letter
Marriage Cert....

In All, my advice from our experience: No two applications are the same, there are different factors, different history, and different cases, but You have only one major job to do as an applicant, convince the VO on three grounds, and rememeber only you can tell your story passionately.
You need to think as a VO and convince them that
1)You are financially capable
2)You have hometimes: i.e what draws you back to your home country is greater than an uncertain beginning in Canada, you have to prove this either by, family back home, a thriving biz or Job, social engagement, and may be evidence that you have never breached Immigration laws in the past.
3)You are a bona-fide visitor, student, or whatever you have applied for.

Lastly and Firstly, commit everything in God's hand, ask him for guidance and Favour, and even if you don't get it, seek for his direction again and reapply.
May the Lord grant all those wating for their PPR sooner than they expect it .

Thanks and Cheers to this community.

In addition, if you live in Abuja, just work in between 8 and 10 am.

My client got PPR yesterday, submitted his passport yesterday and he is at home with an issued visa as of 9am this morning. Avoid Lagos.
