It will simply Carry the validity of your biometrics. That is, if you get a new 10 years port, ur visa will carry the validity of your biometrics, since it will obviously be less than 10 years. They simply pick the lowest validity btw the port and biometrics at any point in time.
The visa gurus in d house knows better and can confirm this. [/quote]


Hello amazing people in the House,
Something struck my attention here while reading through.

The last time I did biometric was 2015 when I was refused study permit visa on financial ground and travel history.

A. Here is my first question!
I am about to apply for Canada visit visa and my port has 4 years validity, I also did biometric last, 9 years ago, does it mean that visa can only be approved for max 1 year of my biometric validity or 4 years of my port validity??

Pls gurus in the house, I need your enlightenment on this.

angie88:
U simply have to pay for another biometrics and do another one

Thank you so much for the swift response.
God bless you

Most probably a decision as been reach for u. If u use agent. Go to him let him open it in your presence and see. If you apply ursef and u still didn’t receive decision till now raise a webform. You mention before u have been refuse USA visa and u didn’t mention to them. Ur case is tricky, heaven help us all.

The IRCC will consider the length of validity of both your port and biometric, and then give preference to the one with the shortest validity.

Pls if u used an agent, tell him to open ur application in your presence. November people has started getting decision and u r still talking Abt September. I don't knw what's with agents hoarding decision information from clients.

So sorry about the refusal . Please do you know the reason for refusal ??

Reason for refusal was not sure I'm coming back

And insufficient balance

You have to work on the reason, they criteria is not so different from UK.

Hello my beautiful Nairalanders,
Pls I will like to share my past immigration story before embarking on the next Canada visa application. I want to make my past situation as open as possible so that you can guide me properly.

In 2015 I got ission to study in Canada, but my visa application was refused after port request due to travel history and insufficient fund.
I never knew anything about traveling then. Although my salary was poor then, I sent all payslip and references to the agent that did the application then.
The agent got me a sponsor with 17m in his and we're not even related but I was still refused visa after port request,

In 2016, someone introduced me to another agent who said he can get someone to invite me to U.S for visiting visa.
He embarked on the whole process and I later notice along the line that he was merging me with a lady to travel together as husband and wife with the same invite. It was so funny. He arranged job and huge bank statement In my salary . I was so upset but it was too late for me. He did everything on my behalf and mine was just to go for interview.but that was my situation. I and the girl was refused the visa in 2016.
All this happened when I was single.

In 2016, I ed nairaland and started reading and learning from every post here. I have wasted time and resources with my past agents. Probably Vo weren't convince enough.

Years later I got married with kids. I got new job and started building my job profile and experience.

Dearest Nairalanders, I will really need your guide and counsel as embark on the process.With the wealth of knowledge in this house, I can't afford to miss it again.

I have gotten an employer in Canada who wish to hire me and go through the LMIA process. I am thinking of entering Canada via visitors visa then apply for work permit. Though that's my secrete intention.all my job references in my current place of work is available and legit.
I hope it's a good idea?

Here are my worries and questions,
1. My mum and elder brother is a permanent resident and citizen respectively.
I have an invitation to attend my aged Mum's birthday in Canada this year.
He agreed to be the sponsor and will cater for travel ticket and accommodation within the 8 days length of stay on the application.
✓I have 2m in one of my bank and I have another salary that I run with other business as well.. I planned to show the 2 bank . (Total proof of fund is 2.1m)
I hope it's enough as proof of fund.

2. Since 2015, I don't have any travel history. Hope this won't affect my next application?
3. Can I include my Canada and U.S visa refusal in the application?
4. How can I bring in my family, after entering Canada??
5. What are the chances of success in this process?

Pls gurus in the house, your candid advice and guidance will be highly appreciated.

Good Evening D.O, I am not an expert but can answer a few of your questions 😄😄😄

1. 2.1M as your total POF is way too small! How much is flight ticket to canada? They expect you to be able to fund your trip even if you have a capable sponsor and still have substantial savings in your after the trip.
2.travel history is only an added advantage to your application, the success of your application will not be judged by your travel history.
3 Please, Biko, Da Allah! Include ALL previous refusals in your new application o. USA and Canada share travellers database.
4. Enter canada first before thinking of your family 😄
5. Your chances are based on your ability to convince the VO that you worth the visa, your documents must be well prepared. And lastly, you need some luck.

Wishing you all the best bro.

Yours is around the corner by Gods Grace

I have a question please. My family and I did our biometrics on the 27th of October 2023. On the 27th of March 2024, I received a port request email for our kids. One week later, I (the main applicant) and my husband are yet to receive our own port request mail. Is this normal? Should we be worried?

Please house, is there anyone who has ircc lagos

Anyone did biometrics for closed work visa in November 2023 and received port request yet?

@ Gurus in the house, I intend to apply for vv to Canada next month. I have been denied US visitors visa about 3 times. I intend to use my POF bank statement of 6 months starting from November last year. I had an impressive bank movement during the month of November, December, March and surely this April and coming May. There was no much deposit and withdrawal during the month of January and February. Deposit and withdrawal in each of month (January & February) is not above 2,500USD equivalent. Hopefully that next month , I may have a balance of 30K usd. Please I want to know if low movement in these 2 month will be a red flag to my application. Your advice is highly needed here

I have been waiting since July 2023, no update till now after several webform. Canada visa is just a mess
