zeus001:I believe they've started processing your application. Please don't waste your money, except you have an urgent reason to be in Canada. Also, its going to take a while to get a refund and restart your application. To withdraw your application use the case enquiry form. https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx Most of us that got stuck in this long processing times did so in peak period. Winter is here and i would like to believe that applications to Canada globally will naturally drop. Fear not. Good Luck. 1 Like |

obeke:Congrats Obeke. This is great news! I covet this type of visa bro and tap from the anointing,lol. The longest validity visa I've ever got was 4 years ![]() |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jayfierce(m): 11:27am On Oct 08, 2016 |
obeke: I celebrate you sir! Sorry but do you mean 4 years and some months? 5 years on the dot means the visa exceeds the validity of your passport. @awelekiti before you start tapping anointing at least ask questions to know the source. Namely 5 years visa that exceeds validity of the passport. ![]() |

RedReact: Please confirm- Is that "3 hours of picking a ticket", for submission of your application? I had planned to go submit mine on Friday too, but at the slightest sound of rain, I just carry 'covercloth' instead & stayed home. Before then, I was chatting with the VFS customer service online to confirm the exact sum of all fees to be paid before going there- the responses were just meh- almost totally unhelpful, coming at almost 7mins apart. Had to ask the CS rep if he/she was busy; to further buttress how 'yeye-ish' the service is, instead of answering my pending query- which just required a short answer, same CS rep took that time to respond "yes, sir" to the busy question. I just logged out. Abeg, lemme know if it will take 3hrs to submit app, sef. |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by jukeblam(m): 12:29pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
jayfierce: Lolzz...na so. I been don check that link, but 'visa' fees was nowhere on there, just service charge. The CS even said it was 45k, whereas I saw about 43k when I checked http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/result.asp?countrySelect=NG&lob=trv Edit: Just noticed the footnote stating service charge is covered under the biometrics cost. I was adding the 11,400 service charge on top before. ![]() No lele 1 Like |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by zeus001(m): 3:39pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
jayfierce: Thanks bros. I played around the site today just to figure these things out. Then I used the tracking number they gave me after the biometrics capture to check on the VFS site. It showed that they have started processing it. I felt better cuz other than the receipt confirmation email from cic I haven't gotten nothing yet about any updates on my app. I'll just be patient and pray. Many thanks guys. Meanwhile about guys complaining of slow response from the guys at VFS I didn't have the same experience o. I was done with the whole thing in less than 30mins and there was a little crowd though...at least 15 to 20 people. Except maybe because mine was online app. The one thing I noticed the second I walked in was their attitude. Rude, sassy. Especially the dude coordinating things. The guy that handled the biometrics capture itself was nice and professional. I think if u go very early you will be out in no time. Good luck guys. 1 Like |

Hello House, Please i need advise as to which way forward. I am new here. Pls help a sister. My story- i applied for a spousal visa June 2015. Along the line it was taking son long and needed to see my husband so we decided to put in visiting visa thru online application (WE STATED THAT WE HAVE A SPOUSAL VISA ON GOING) . I was called for an interview in July 2016 and for no reason the lady I met refused me. It was devastating staying all alone without my husband. Anyway Hubby sent a notice of appeal and we are on that. I read online that I can visit my husband while they continue with the spousal visa, (reason why we put in visiting visa in the first place). The Visiting Visa I put in was since May 19th 2016. Up till now I haven't heard from them. I sent a reminder to them they responded ""Your application is on queue for processing"" over a month ago. I sent them a reminder again 5days back till now no response. I pray miracle happens oh. I need to see my husband for heaven sake. Please I need your response. What should i do again? also please I don't mind if you can direct me to a thread for CANADA spousal visa on NL if there's any. Bless u people of God. |

MineMK:Hello ma. I applied May 14th and got a passport request September 27th. Theres also someone here who applied online May 19th too and is still waiting on them. You might just need to wait a bit more. As for spousal visa do you mean your hubby is sponsoring you for permanent residency? |

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by MineMK(f): 12:23am On Oct 11, 2016 |
nam16: Well they will always come up with a reason. All the question she asked me i gave her answers. She just concluded...well I am not convinced enough u know your husband so well... I told her all the questions u asked me i answered. Feel free to ask more. That's not even my issue cos we have sent a notice of appeal and it's on going. My concern is the Visiting I put in since May 19th .till now no response. All my experienced people What can I do? I'd sent them mail twice |
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by smallz001: 3:03am On Oct 11, 2016 |
MineMK: Good day, As jayfierce mentioned in terms of the visit visa it is taking them a long time to process online applications. You just have to be patient, because everyone that submitted online endured long wait times so its not just you. Don't send them another email for now. Continue to follow this page, you will see people updating their files, that way you know whether yours is within the normal processing time. 2 Likes |

sometimes consulars need stubborn applicant...i wld av prefer you hold on to the appeal ...if its taking too much time, all u av to do is to send them a comprehensive emotional letter.....cos the visiting visa applicatn might seems to them like you want to get in at all cost...let me share my case with u, i apply online to visit my wife and daughter and dey refuse me, i was mad cos reason was travel hist and econmy ties of which av bn all over d world except canada,china & australia..i reapply via paper apps with letter indirectly asking dem to aplgz to me as i was refused wrongly....my visa was issued in 3wks...they knw dat if you are in you av means of gettn a permit....hwever i wish you postv respons on ur apps ..

nam16: @name16... Thanks for your response. I gt u. We are still holding to the appeal though. We agreed we shouldnt have but we had a lot of adviser at that time plus hubby really wanted me around /me too oh..lol..and serious we both never envisage it could take so.long a time like this. All I'm asking God for now is miracle ohhh...Living far away from your husband is not a joking stuff when ua ttc at the same time. I am asking God for strength daily. Thank you all God bless and grant all your heart desires. As per the emotional letter,would tell hubby. 1 Like |

nam16:I've been reading the various comments posted on this matter with keen interest. I think I quite agree with you. I once applied and my application suffered unprecedented delays. I needed to travel so I kept bombarding them with emails requesting updates, even though I received an auto response that I shouldn't send emails any further as my message would be read and action would be taken but they kept quiet. The day I wrote to them that I was going to withdraw my application and I needed my passport back within 2 days because I needed to travel to another country. That's when they now replied me. They said they observed that I had sent them 10 emails consecutively but they didn't reply because my application was still within the processing time. They now said they're working on it. The following day around 2pm, I received a text/email from vfs for passport collection. I guess my shakara worked. some applicants out of fear, could have kept quiet and be waiting for their decision which could take forever. At times, you've got to show some stubbornness. 1 Like |
