If your GTBank card isn’t going , try barter by flutter wave.
Can you try to use another GTBank card to pay first of all? Have you used your GTBank on an international site this month ?
Also do you have more than enough in that account you’re trying to use?

I only used it to pay for tls package and I can't say is international persay?

Secondly please how much is the total of the money in Nigeria currency I mean visa fees and biometric? Because I have a certain card I'm using for online payment which I do transfer the certain money I needed into it.

Please how much you pay last time for visa fees and biometric in Nigeria money? So I will know if the money on my card is not sufficient?

Im having 61k on my GTB master card

First of all, which of the TLS packages did you pay for ? Was the currency Naira or GBP?

The Naira equivalent will be determined by the bank rate for CAD for the day(rates vary by the day and may be static for a bit). I know GTBank started taking 480-$1 for about one month now but I don’t know about the recent CAD rate.
I paid my application fee in USD.

Oanda / XE are used by officers to convert your proof of funds. Banks don’t use Oanda to give rates. Create a virtual card to pay for your application or get someone else’s GTBank card to pay

Thank you very much for your kindness

Even online Google is not up to 61k

I have a domiciliary dollar account and dollar card maybe I will fund it.

But if I can pay with my GTB master card it would be better because of buying black market dollar lol

Thx very much

On this I have no idea, you may have to contact vfs maybe with a return label copy. I only know of paying for return courier not one way.

When I checked the link now—> https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/immediate-family.html

I think written authorisation is required to travel to CANADA and it seems only exempted travellers that have written authorisation are allowed to travel to CANADA now even if you are fully vaccinated (I may be wrong)

I am confused on this part as written authorisation wasn’t requested when I was submitting my application.

I will like to ask if there is anyone who have travelled to CANADA recently on the basis of TOURISM and NOT REUNIFICATION WITH FAMILY MEMBER without Written Authorisation

Yea it's not entirely clear either but I don't think written authorization is required in all cases, at least based on the information on CIC's site.

Hello guys
Just got ppr for trv. Submitted Oct 5, got ppr today, approximately 30 business days.
Please for those who have recently sent their passport, how do I go about submitting to vfs global Lagos? I know I have to do that through courier but what documents do I include, the mailing address too? How much does vfs charge? Do I need to include vfs consent form?
Also for my biometric confirmation slip, I got it when I captured for pr application. Am I to submit it for the trv or should I wait till I get ppr for pr?

This might have been touched upon earlier, pardon me please. Your meaningful contributions will be appreciated.

Hi, please did you submit Authorization Letter, Quarantine plan and would you mind sharing the document you uploaded and was it on the new portal and any other information for us to use as guidelines. Thank you so much.

No, I didn't submit any of those two and I was already partly vaccinated at the time. I used the new portal and submitted:
SOP
Itinerary i.e what I planned to do and dates
Marriage certificate
Proof of funds
Letter of invitation
Proof of ties back home
Passport bio data page
Vaccination card; I later raised a web form after I received my second dose to update my vaccination details.
