I know people who have gotten a Canadian visa without traveling history.. because they haven't traveled to any country before.
believe that or not... in most cases, it really depends on the officer's mood and how they are thinking.
I agree. The travel history is only to show the officer you are well traveled and have money for travel. Also to show you are not staying in canada as you already been to develop countries before. I also know some one who is the first stamp on her passport was Canada. Even my mom and dad never been out of iran but in 50 age they never stay in canada. Plus all family live in Iran except my brother so no reason for them to travel out of Iran, but my brother was the reason to travel to canada.

They came same time. Like in 2 mins time diffrence.
So, people will always get this letter when they apply to Canada visa even if they don't give their biometrics in the second or third or ... time.

Did you get it in your email or in your account on their website?

If processing takes time, it does not mean it is doomed to be a refusal. A delay in the processing can be due to the influx of applications. Rejection comes if an applicant does not satisfy the visa officers requirement which is a valid purpose, strong ties (job, home, assets, family) and
financial capability to travel to Canada.


Paper application takes time compared to online.
You can check the estimated days of processing via https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html . Do note that the time it takes to send an application between a VAC and IRCC plus the time you need to give your biometrics is not included on the computed estimated days.

Better link your application online so you can see the up-to-date status https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account/link-paper-online.html
You just need to create a GCkey account, sign in and then "Link an application to this account” to start. You need a copy your application because
specific information about your application will be asked.
Surprisingly for applications from Nigeria paper applications seem to be processed faster than online submissions. I am on day 88 now.
