Julieni:
If it's legit, by now.. You should have had a one on one discussion with the employer. I doubt it's legit.

Ashirioluwa:


Don’t put any hope on this because it’s 100% scam

Ashirioluwa:


Get a letter of invitation to support your application from your host.

Also, It will be better if you can briefly explain everything in your cover letter.

anselmvictor:
If it’s an honest application, I would just attach the email correspondence to the invitation letter from any of these companies (if any) and let IRCC do their job.

anselmvictor:
have you checked document status on the tracker to see if there is a visa number and expiration date? I understand that could be an indication that visa has been approved but yet to be issued and I believe you have recieved BVL? You should check that.

gimakon2:


Ah I submitted already. Can I make a new letter and send ?

Ashirioluwa:


Yes, you can.

You can add documents you think will help your application anytime through the webform before the application is processed.

gimakon2:


Solid. Thanks fam. You a blessing. Shalom.
You got your visa eh?

Lyoncrescent:


There is a Visitor Visa Document number and expiry date listed when I checked just now

gimakon2:


Honest how ?

anselmvictor:
Oh no! You know how people package application rather than share real situation. By honest, I mean, if it’s a real situation then it’s okay to share email correspondence that will typically have company and correspondent details, both which are verifiable. Thanks

anselmvictor:
Great I believe. Have you recieved BVL?

Lyoncrescent:


Is it this BVL attached below or another BVL. Not sure which one you are referring to. My process was particularly fast but to get the passport back is when everything went slow cos I submitted in Lagos VFS. My colleague in Abuja has same timelines as me. The only difference is he submitted this week Tuesday in Abuja VFS as they didn't open at Abuja VFS on Monday due to inauguration. I submitted at Lagos VFS on Monday the inauguration day. He got back his passport with visa yesterday while I got this message below yesterday. Its so frustrating to say the least. Should have submitted in Abuja

Your application, tracking ID No.has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on Fri Jun 02 2023

anselmvictor:
oh I see. I thought you were talking of PPR. I am not aware of any process to fast track VFS. Quite annoying at how they can be painfully slow.

If not that your trip is very time sensitive just waiting it out would have been an easy option.

If you cannot fast track VFS , can you for IRCC? Is there going to be additional priority fees to pay or ? What must someone do?

abbeylfc:


Omo,,,wahaala 😫😫

Amy66666777:


Before the employment offer from the employer?
Didn’t u have any interview with the employer?
Is the agent a licensed immigration consultant for IRCC?

At times LMIA can take lots of time especially when you’re outside Canada 🇨🇦

I’ll suggest, you research broadly on the employer via google search their company etc
Or, you confront the agent to give you details about the application after all you’re paying for his/her services

Emmafe:
You just have to wait, I don’t think ders anything like fast tracking stamping.

This is why I advised sending to Abuja if you need asap stamping.

eimolove92:
I got this email from vfs. I submitted in Lagos and was expecting to walk-in to collect when ready. Has the process changed as it’s saying it’s ready for pickup in Abuja

Emmafe:
I just got back from Lagos vfs, stressed and disappointed. I chatted with vfs customer service before I went if it’s available in Lagos or not because I sent mine to Abuja. I thought vfs Abuja will send back to lagos since that was the address I dropped. After i wasted 10k on tfare and waited over 3hrs, I was told my passport is in Abuja. I can either pickup there or pay for courier service.

Weigh your option before sending to Abuja, they stamp very fast but na money.

Make I go sleep n pray lapo approve my loan so I can pay vfs courier service 😭😭😭

vikthor74:
Am bit worry is 3weeks I sent my passport to vfs Lagos. No response😒😒

Deronke1:
So I'm finally travelling tomorrow to Vancouver,,, mehn when i reach like this,, i will first of all sit on the floor... Ircc showed me shege

Lyoncrescent:
Emmafe was correct Good Morning. I should have submitted at the Abuja VFS. I submitted my passport at Lagos VFS on Monday the 29th of May and I got the message below yesterday morning . My trip is supposed to be this Sunday and is sponsored by my organisation. Don't know what to do again. When I track it , it says it is under processing at the Canadian visa office.

Your application, tracking ID has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on Fri Jun 02 2023. This was the last mail I got.

My colleague submitted his passport in Abuja VFS as he's based in Abuja on Tuesday this week and got a message Thursday evening to pick up his passport which he picked up yesterday.

My advice for anyone if you want your passport back fast please submit at Abuja vfs.

Any idea what I can do as if I can't get it by Monday, I won't be able to go for the conference again.

omoMessiah:
From my own experience and couple others i know, note: when you submit in lagos all passport are gathered and taken to abuja on Friday(whether you submit moday oo or Wednesday, it will taken to Abuja friday) then worked on during the week and returned back Friday.
What I'm saying is this, all submitted passport from 29th till yesterday gets delivered to abuja yesterday and will be returned this coming Friday

omoMessiah:
Sorry to hear that but in my own case i didn't drop address, i only paid for transmission fee at vfs lagos. They took passport to abuja and returned back to lagos

Lyoncrescent:


Thanks for this information. It's a big lesson cos I only need the visa for the conference and nothing else. Conference is 5 days and starts this monday. No plans to japa . Whenever they are done they should sha return the passport. Its just painful as my organisation would have given me a nice travel allowance . Na that one dey pain me and also the papers I had to present at the conference will now be presented by someone else. Its all good. How I wish VFS can make this your explanation above known to people so they can now choose where to submit.

Application /Biometric Collection Letter May 18

BVL and PPR May 26

If I knew what you just posted above I won't have
Submitted to Lagos VFS May 29. Even if I have to fly to Abuja to submit , it would have been better

gimakon2:


Your application and all you did was it the new portal ? And was it this year you did your application ?

Lyoncrescent:


New portal. Applied May 18 2023. Got PPR May 26. The conference organiser wrote to the Deputy Canadian High Commiission and all so maybe that's why it was fast. But out of 8 of us, only 3 in Abuja have visas . The rest of us in the center of excellence are still waiting
