NEED A CANDID ADVICE

[bimmie]

Hello House,

I need a candid advise. I applied for a TRV through a registered representative in canada which should come with work permit. He submitted online in canada. I'm a religious worker. The rep submitted late August 2017 but till date I have not done biometric.
Would like to know why the delay. It's been 5 months without biometric. Last update i got was due to illegal crossing from US to canada. There are some many application to process.
Please kindly shed more light on this.

Thanks

Where are you from? Processing can sometimes take quite a number of months.

Did you apply from the US or from Nigeria?

Applying from a country where you only have visitor status typically leads to longer processing times. It also reduces the chances of approval.

Like I wrote earlier, a rep-lawyer applied and submitted in Canada.

It's not about where the lawyer is - it's about where you are. Again, typically we see longer processing times when someone is not in their country of residence when they apply. Also lower chance of approval since it's more difficult to show ties to your home country.

It doesn't matter where your lawyer is when they submit the app. It depends on where YOU are when the app is submitted.

I understand that part, my app was submitted when i was in Nigeria.
