Good morning, all. I live here in Canada, and am planning to celebrate my birthday in October. Is this a good way to invite my family members and close friends living in Nigeria? If so, What can one put together for this. Thank you for your responses.

Since you used an agent,you never can tell whats happening or what has happened because some agents can be funny.
Why not try creating a tracker with the email u submitted while filling the form,you might be lucky thats the email he used for your application.

Meanwhile,i had my biometrics September 8,and i also havent heard anything,i also used an agent,but i could open a tracker,so i see on the tracker no decision made yet and background check still in progress.

All the best

Everyone time line isn’t same. You will probably get positive result, if you will be refuse it will have come January. My brother did his biometrics same week with you, he got his PPr and visa stamped and received already in first week of January.
I did mine October 30 and it 3 months and 21 day today. A lady posted she did bio same as me Oct 30 and she posted here on Monday that she received are PPR. She mention she have MP long leg in Canada though… but let hang on…. You will be congratulated soon, and everyone here. Amin

You can open a tracker to track your application but sometimes, it's not always accurate. They can issue a decision and not update the tracker a dime and sometimes, one could trace their application progressiveness. Now if the agent didn't use your email, then forget tracking at your end.

if only you had applied yourself, you can raise a webform requesting for update on your application.

Meanwhile, you have no choice other than to wait patiently till your agent tells you your decision is out.

There is nothing like MP long leg. If you have anyone residing in canada, they can simply contact their district MP to inquire on the status of your application from ircc. Because they are members of parliment, ircc will respond to them faster. I contact the MP close to where i stay in canada for my spouse visit visa app. Cos its more than 171 day, and fortunately he was once secretary to the minister of immigration, and the current Attorney General of Canada. I just hope he i not too busy to put in a word on my behalf to ircc.

You would need to give them an official invitation letter individually, indicating their biodata, relationship, reason for invitation, duration and where the invitee would stay(please check ircc official website on how to go about writing your invitation letter). Then you would also give them your special birthday invitation card (with each of their names imprinted on the card). It is these two alongside other docs (like bank statement, proof of occupation, prove of family, financial and economic tie, e.t.c. All these are to be provided by the invitees) that they would submit to the embassy for visa.

I hope those you are inviting are those that are financially gallant who wouldn't blink an eye crossing the Atlantic to spend millions just for birthday(in VO's mind) because flight currently is 3M and depending on the accommodation availability ( whether you are lodging them and paying for their hotel or they would have to pay themselves). If you would be responsible for their lodging (even if not all), then you must be ready to show your bank statement to prove you are capable to the embassy.

I will suggest you start now so that they can quickly apply for their visa. Don't be surprise some of them won't get response from the embassy until the birthday is over.

Shalom!!!

What ur status in canada student, resident or citizen?

I knew it too, back of ma mind, that her PPR may likely not be from MP long leg. If one have done the needful, the Visa will come. Hers too is already 3 months n 19days as at Monday. So with or without MP, the decision is same. Canada is what in vogue in my area here IKD. Almost everyone around me got positive result. My family friend applied, family of 5 all visa approved and in Canada already and processing took 3months and 17days. My brother own took exactly 4month.

Hi everyone. Y’all in this platform has been really helpful. But as much as I wish to share a good news with you guys am afraid I only have bad one, which is my visa application was denied.
Biometric 25 august and no reply since then till this month of February. I asked about webform here in the group about few weeks ago, I was guided by you lot on how to send the webform.
I just got the response saying my visa app was denied. Btw I have a travel history to Middle East.
Thanks to everyone that render help when needed. One ❤️

What was the reason for denial

Chisomwo:


What was the reason for denial

I don’t know, although I think I’ve seen were people on this form instructed those denied to apply for some sort form to know the reasons for denial.
Please how can I check the reasons for the denial?

Okay on the letter sent to you by ircc were u denied based on financial situation

Nothing may show until the decision is made. Thereafter, you will certainly see closed after the decision has been made on the tracker.

Meanwhile, so many people could still check the progressiveness of their application on the tracker.

Thank you for a detailed response 👍🙏

They're about 4 of them in total. 2 are financially okay. And I want to support or sponsor one of them, my brother. I've already started my brother's application and I was thinking may be I should leave it at just invitation to see the family for the summer.

Asking a Member of parliment to inquire about your application doesn't influence the outcome, but it helps to get decision to be made on your visa application if it has passed the estimated processing time.

Like mine is now 171 days I submitted an application, while the processing time at when i submitted it was 111 days.

That means you will have to indicate only on your bro official invitation letter that you would be sponsoring him fully. He alone would submit your bank statement as part of his documents (including evidence of being siblings like birth certificates of both of you, pictures, e.t.c.) BUT he still needs to show his ties in Nigeria, strongly- family, financial and home ties. Everything on his documents must show he would return. In fact, having a US Visa, either past or current would fast track his visa approval as fast as 15 days. Let him submit any travel history he had in the past, too. Start his application now even if you re-consider inviting him for summer and not the birthday because no one can guarantee when a decision can be made. It is better if he had his visa already ahead of his intended travel month

For the rest that you wouldn't be sponsoring(i.e. if you still wish to invite them for your birthday), please give out your official invitation letter and birthday invitation to them quickly so they can start processing their visa application. Some people that applied last year August haven't received decision by now.

Shalom

You mean there's high possibility it will turns out positive because of the time duration of over 5months after biometrics was done?
Well,time will tell

Here's one evidence that I had to SCREENSHOT to show you that a tracker may not be updated till you receive a final decision. But once a decision had been made finally, they will update it to close.....that close is sure banker after decision

God will see us through and perfect everything for us🙏 really appreciate this.

This is just an unproven assumption. Based on the screenshot below, the application is exactly 6 months but just got response for denial. The biometric was done 25th of August, whereas, I have seen one October applicant got approved (though not on this thread) without history of US visa. Everything is all about GRACE and not the lengthy waiting period

Just be hopeful that it will come, regardless of the time frame.
