Nothing to do but wait. Estimated number of days processing is 71 based on https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...vices/application/check-processing-times.html. You can do a follow up at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp.

Due to the number of asylum seekers arriving from Nigeria there is likely to be increased scrutiny before approving a visa. Processing times are just estimates.

OK. Yes I will. Fingers crossed. If it's working days wait time for processing in Nigeria..mine is 74 days today.

Hi, if it's 71 working days then mine should be 71 working days yesterday. But all the public holidays must be deducted as well which would make it lesser than 71 working days. But 71 working days will definitely be completed next week

Hi...have you received any mail yet? This delay aint funny.

Hi guys,

I applied for my parents online on the 10th of August. Till date,status remains the same “Application is in progress”.
They are due to travel to the US Next week for an obligation, so I had to contact the VFS offices in New York and LA asking if it was possible for them to get their passport stamped over there, when/if approved and they said Yes! Imagine that I sent same email to VFS Lagos and Accra and got no response from them so annoying!
So I have booked their tickets to the US, praying that the Canadian TRV will come through.
Will keep you guys updated, please let me know as well when yours comes through, Goodluck!! @EBIMAJ and @Tplepsey
