How come someone who's Biometric and application submission was done in December 2023, will be on queue while January applicants are already getting response?!
Is it a normal process with IRCC modus operandi?

Honestly, I'm getting sick tired of this suspense filled rollercoaster series.

Have you tracked the application? is it looking good?

The best is to distract your mind otherwise you would get soo worried. IRCC are known to take thier time.

It would end in praise.

Thank you Mayor. She is a college student and the exclusion of sowp by ircc caught up with us.


MayorOfEdmonton:
Extension doesn’t lead to change of status to work permit. You’d simply have another 6 months visit visa.
What’s your spouse studying for? Diploma? masters? PhD?
For you to change to work permit, you’d have to get a job with an LMIA approved company within the initial 6 months or the additional 6 months if extension is granted and use the job offer to apply for work permit.
Legit LMIA job offer is difficult to get though.

You said you had U.S. visa earlier and now has a Canada visa approval. If you claims your passport is missing just to get canada visa 10 years , please be aware that the U.S. and Canada share a database. If you later appear at the U.S. border with the same passport you reported missing, you could face some issues. Be careful!



The embassies has nothing to do with renewal of passport. It ends with the Nigerian Immigrations. So the embassy does not know the reason why you renewed your passport.

Hello, Good Morning all,

Please I need someone to teach me the current process to request for a GCMS note, going through all these pages to search for it may be tiring.

Thanks in advance.

I planned to travel in November 2024, should I get 6 months it will be April 2025. If I can get another 6 months extension of visitor record to October 2025, it's enough time for her to get her PGWP and a full time job (waiting for her) to convert my status via SOWP from visitor to work permit.

That's d goal.


Please can u reach out to me through olutowo@gmail.com.
Thank you

There are two alternative options:

Option 1. Have someone legally residing in Canada apply on your behalf. The fee is just $5 Canadian dollars.

Option 2. Google GCMS Notes and start scrolling. You would see different third party vendors to choose from. Click on it and follow the instructions to apply. You would eventually have to fill a consent form and sign with blue ink.

Check if your husband portal is reflecting his biometric number,if yes then it has been recieved by IRCC and probably still under review. But, if not, you can send webform attaching the tiny slip that was given to him to keep for his records.

Sometimes, we need to look at an application from a realistic point of view. Firstly, why do you want to sponsor your wife to attend a conference? How will the conference benefit your family life, empower your wife economically, or connect to her job? What is her financial strength? Is the conference not available locally? Many people have used the same method to get conference visas and then become asylum seekers in Canada. Therefore, it is important to package her application well this is 2024 and canada visa is not as usual easy path again!

I dont think you need to submit another bank account to IRCC if the initial submission is okay and transparent. That would further delay and may complicate your application since they did not request for it.

Why dont you notify your bank by phone( due to its urgency) and typed letter physically to the branch and have them acknowledged so they can block access to your account immediately.

The acknowledged letter will be your evidence that you reported the attempted intrusion should in case IRCC request for an updated statement later and you have moved this funds to your new account but discuss this with your bank.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by bellakay: 4:35am On Jul 18
My sister just Recieved a PP request but her son’s 0passport expires in December 2024. A new passport has been done.
My question is do we send the new and old passport for stamping or inform IRCC first about the new passport.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by ezekins: 6:41am On Jul 18
I applied for canada visa to attend a conference but instead of choosing business as visa application package, I chose other in the application package. Please house, can this be changed or i should over look it since I submitted all necessary documents.
