Please is one expected to only print and fill the portion of the consent form meant for port submission? And can one fill with pen instead of typing on the space meant for name?

Hello Friends

I just realised that with this VFS new port submission date (20th July is earliest appointment date in vfs Lagos) , I would exceed the 30 day limit given by IRCC.

For those who have used the courier option. Did you collect your port in person @ VFS or was it sent back to you by DHL?

Thanks

Greetings everyone. Please I need your urgent advice.

My husband is resident in Canada on a work permit and our PR application is in progress. Do I need a return ticket if I and my child is travelling to Canada on a visitor visa to reunite with him?

Thank you

Please a response will be highly appreciated for additional context I have been to Canada twice in the past and each time I spent more than 4 months but this time around an agent was saying something about extra scrutiny from immigration which lead me to ask here if I’m safe to book my normal 5 months ?

We sent 2 mails and filled the webform twice but got only an auto response from the mail sent and a response to the webform mail acknowledging receipt of mail. We received our port request today. I say a big thank you to everyone for their help. The ealiest available date for submission of port at VFS is on the 19th of July but we will be travelling on the 12th. Is it possible to submit our port in the US for the canada stamping? What are our options? We have sent them an email asking if we could submit it in the US.
growersfarm:
My husband and I were refused the Canadian visa today and the reason for refusal was we didn't our new port which we did 2 weeks before the 30days grace period. We applied January 2021. We have a valid USA visa and we've been to other countries. We've sent them an email. What else should we do? Thanks for your response

"If you have previously spent extended periods in Canada, it's possible you may face extra scrutiny from immigration. Ultimately, the decision to book your desired 5-month stay is yours, but being prepared can improve your chances of a successful entry, especially when answering questions about why you are spending such a long period away from your home country. you have no job or family?. Or which work gives you 5 months holiday..Visitors staying more than 3 months on holiday are likely to raise suspicions

Finally gotten my port from VFS Lagos office today submitted last week Friday.

I was giving number 336 when I arrived around 1:30pm and there are many people waiting for port collection at the back of the VFS office, if you are going for port collection please be there as early as possible.

Lagos VFS office is now faster than before and l think no need to send your port to Abuja anymore my one cent advise.

You can send your port through dhl one way to VFS on Monday without booking any appointment.

Good evening everyone.. For those that have used the new portal, is there option to add family , like when applying for family of 5.

Good evening house, Please I need your help. Me and my wife applied for Canada visiting visa in December 2021, did the biometric same month, got BVL in May 2023 and PPR in June 12th 2023, thankfully. At the time we applied it was just the two of us, but we have a baby now. Please, how should we go about applying for the 9 months old baby?

An agent is charging us N400k to get the baby's visa but I felt it's too much. Please advice me on what best to do.

Your quick response will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Although they didn't ask me many questions when I entered Canada on Monday, they did inquire about how long I would be staying and where in Canada.

Even if you intend to stay for 5 months, I don't think it's appropriate to let them know that at the port of entry, especially if you stated in your application that you are employed, because a 5-month annual leave will be strange to anyone.

Your best option is to buy a flexible plane ticket. Flexible flight tickets are those that allow engers to change the travel dates as they wish or cancel the ticket for refunds. They are expensive than regular ticket.

I don’t know if open ticket is still available. You can talk to a travel agent to see if you can get one.

This is just my personal opinion, I might be wrong.

This is easy since you and your wife already have visas.

You can apply for the baby by yourself. State that you guys want to take the baby with you. Include a copy of your visa, that of your wife and the baby’s documents.

You can come here to ask questions if you get stuck.

Do you mean they should explain their situations and send to the email addresses provided in previous pages or..
who are the VFS?

No, send your port with port request letter to VFS.

If you go through this thread you will see that someone did that before.

Hi. We’re you able to do your biometrics on Friday?
