Relax yourself. you are not the only one in that shoe. Canada Application process takes 9 months or more and it is stated clearly at the start of the application if you apply from the UK. Application from 9ja takes fewer months. If there is an issue with your application in the UK, you will have received a rejection at the early stage of your submission, though I may be wrong ooooo and I am speaking for myself. Ask anyone who got their application approved from the UK, it takes 9 months or more. I think if u have been to Canada before or the USA, the process is much faster from anywhere.

Yikes, I got April 2025 3 days ago and I was considering myself lucky. I should have been more patient, cos I've used my last attempt. Ah well, I wish others better luck.

Kakajewel:

Wow. Was this December 5 or 23, because it still shows but appears as “slot used”?

Kakajewel:

Please was this for Lagos or Abuja?

Adewaale:



Hi yoyome, I’m a B1/B2 applicant also and I will deeply appreciate it if you don’t mind dropping an update when you find out closer dates are open. Thank you!

Hello house,

I got my PPR for myself and 2 sons today (TRV)
Date applied: April 18th
Biometrics: June 24 as I had an existing biometrics when I submitted
PPR: 24 September 2024.

I hear I can go to DHL office without an appointment. Pls what documentations do I need. I don’t want to miss anything.


It was strictly DIY with the help of this platform. Thank you everyone

petershola:





Good afternoon everyone.
Please i need some clarifications. My present appointment is booked for Lagos.
Can I reschedule my appointment from Lagos to abuja on this new website, please?
Do I need to change my DS160 application as a result?

Thank you

Nkaluu800:


I had my biometric on December 22, 2023.
Till this very moment no "UPDATE YET" on my application according to the Witchcraft Agent each time I inquired.

It's embarrassing to say that for 9 good solid months someone has been playing on my intelligence.

Please to those who understands the system more than I do, how do I access my GCMS note?
I'm willing to furnish and provide ALL the information, UCI digits.

Please assist a brother.

Good morning, Lol @ Witchcraft agent , Okay yours is 9 months mine is 10 months(I applied in Nov 2023) let me start from there. I do not know about your agent but my agent I too was not sure if she was telling me the truth so I requested that she give me access to my application because it was her email address she used for the application.

Then someone here advised me to get my GCMS note to know my application status which I have applied for and waiting for.

Sometimes it is not the agent's fault when it comes to delay that is from IRCC. I will search through the post to get the steps on how to get your GCMS note that will give you the current status of your application and hopefully, it will all end in praise.

I hope this helps and I am sure others will add to this as well.

You should have 3 reschedule attempts, so I'd say use your first attempt to pick the earliest dates that's available. It might be Nov 2024, through May 2025, I'm not sure, I don't have any more attempts so I can't see what is available anymore. Once you've secured a decent date, then check periodically for closer dates. How I found my October 2024 date was I noticed that there were additional dates that were added to the already existing fake dates, so I tried one and it got approved. Good luck.

Folzy25:



So I finally stumbled upon lots of available dates yesterday and picked an earlier date. However, I’d leaned into some clues from you, in that, I picked a farther/less preferred date then that somehow opened additional earlier date slots which I’d preferred. Or could have all be coincidental following their website updates. All the same, I’m grateful for your help. 🙏🏾

Iman25:
I am having trouble logging in to AVITs it keeps saying something went wrong. Did anyone have this issue please?

ultraken:
I'm surprised there aren't earlier Lagos interview dates. Two days ago I got an end of October 2024 date for Abuja and there were several November 2024 dates available. If you're in a hurry why not use the Abuja embassy instead?

maestro03:


Wow, you got April? If I get April I'll be alright. I initially got Jan 2026, then tried again and got Oct 2025. I have just 1 trial left so I'm waiting. There's Jul 2025 as you rightly mentioned but I'm hoping to get earlier, if not, I'll settle for July. This wahala is too much, just to go on holiday. Sigh

Ayomide98:


I have created a ticket.

Please when did you pay mrv and did you go through preapproval processing phase?

Ayomide98:


Sorry are you F1 applicant and did you start your application on the new portal?

Coz I’m a Lagos applicant and my portal has been on Preapproval request processing since three weeks

Lotusflowerbomb:
How is this new site? Are people getting closer appointment dates for Lagos? Why are dates still hard to get ohh? I thought this was what the new website was meant to resolve.

Folzy25:


I was not able to get the available dates in July 2025 scheduled. I keep getting an error. Did you encounter errors initially?

Folzy25:
Please were you able to book the dates? Because I’ve just been getting error messages. Also, can you see additional open slots between Nov 7th 2024 and July 9th 2025? Cos I couldn’t.

dasayo:
Hello Everyone,

Thank you

Hello bro.
I am applying for my 2 kids canada visit visa.
I have gotten mine for 8 years.
I am using my account to apply for them by creating a family group for them ( i am not involved since have gotten mine).
The question now is, will i click ''representative filling the form on their behalf;;? since they are still kids and can't fill it by themselves.
If that is the case, that means i will fill the Representative online form and submit, right?

cj1080:
Anyone noticed that dates in 2024 are now available

Abi na system error

FVA89:

Thanks. Please if you get a date in 2024 in Lagos please let me know. I will appreciate this info

FVA89:

Thank you I am confuse right now, I need two slot for myself and my child we want to attend graduation of my f1 in December I don't know how to get two slot at the same time for both of us

FVA89:
Fellow colleagues on this journey, please I would to know if anyone has been able to get a date in Lagos recently on the new booking website. I don't want a story that touches. After choosing Lagos, getting a date before December becomes difficult

Mom’s Visa approved today at the Abuja embassy. 9:45 am. Transcript below if it helps anyone here;

Consular: Good day ma
Mom: Yoruba
Consular: Ekaaro ma (smiling)
Mom: Ekaaro oo
Consular beckons on Yoruba interpreter
Consular: Where are you going?
Mom: California
Consular: Why?
Mom: My daughter gave birth
Consular: How many kids do you have?
Mom: 7
Consular: How many in Nigeria?
Mom: 4 in Nigeria, 3 in America
Consular: How long will you stay?
Mom: 1 month
Consular: I will be issuing your visa, ask whoever is waiting for you to interpret what’s in the white paper.

Mom couldn’t recognize door afterwards, her joy was too full😂😂


Question: Does anyone know where to pick up passport? DHL or IOS? I switched her pick up to Lagos from Abuja. What is advisable with the current transition going on with the US embassy in Nigeria?

MayorOfEdmonton:
Hey,
One important thing to keep in mind is that the details in the new application must match the previous one, so you need details the previous agent used. e.g agent said you are a director in ABC company, in new application you can’t be a clerk in XYZ. That’s misrepresentation.
Or the more popular one, agent said she’s married with a kid for home ties….you can’t be single without a child in the new application.
So it’s not just about UCI or creating new login details the information and documents need to match the old application. So she may need to follow up with the agent or request GCMS.

annabee:
Abuja.

Lagos earliest date when I checked was August 2025.

annabee:
After booking your initial appointment, you have 3 chances to reschedule.
You can view the appointment calendar as many times as you want, the attempt only counts when you successfully book an appointment.

In my mom's case for instance, I secured her initial appointment for May 2025, I saw she had 3 more reschedule attempts left. I kept checking for an early date but each time I tried to pick a date, an error message pops up. Eventually, I rescheduled her for November 2024, same night I rescheduled again for October 2024. Now she has 1 more reschedule chance left.
