Absolutely Correct

Congrats to all those who got PPR.
I applied on May 24 and got only BVL today, nothing else on the portal.
Does BVL means approval is coming?

After i received the PPR letter
I sent both passports via DHL to VFS Abuja (Both in the same envelope). All documents requested including the payment receipts enclosed in the envelope

I received email 3 days after that my passport was receiving attention at IRCC office Abuja

it took about 10 days for me to receive the passport back

All this agent self lol

Please, I will appreciate your response

I got a visitor visa done by an agent and during the application he filled in my education history that i have Bsc certificate at uniben but this is so untrue although he didn’t submit any certificate to prove that for my application. Now I want to apply for a closed work permit, and the only certificate i have is SSCE, do u think I stand a chance of approval? Due to my previous application of the vv ?

MY VISA IS OUT.

8 months of waiting, 8 months since i got my offer letter. 8 months of waiting, 8 months of praying, 8 months of fear that my employer will be tired of the wait.

Finally!! Finally! Thank you Jesus. All the glory to you
Reason employers don't like recruiting Nationals needing visa.
Congratulations!!

Some lucky applicants applied this year, and they received a final decision within 3 months.

But it's only a few people from the pool of applicants.

Good evening all. Pls I did biometrics in 2019 when I received my first visa. This was done in Lagos. I do not have a slip. Do I need to pay transmission fee if I send my passport to VFS Lagos?

Did you pay for your passport to be sent back to you at the time you submitted your passport? I thought you will wait for VFS to send you an email that your passport is ready before you make the payment?
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Omobolarin: 8:09pm On Jun 23, 2023
I applied may 2023, a month ago.

I greet the house....
Please just a quick one: I plan going to Canada to write a professional exams, they are sending me an invitation to come over and write the exam.
Please, is it possible for my gf to comw with me as a common law partner? If yes, is there any information I need except for the financial Requirements?
Please I anticipate your responses

Responding to your first question, Yes, your common-law partner can come with you.
In our case, my employer is sponsoring me, and I am sponsoring her.

Regarding your second question, ensure that appropriate documents showing your relationship are attached to your application such as pictures of you together, shared bills, shared address etc. Also attach docs to show her home ties as well, e.g work contract, study certificate, residence card etc.

My Timeline:
Applied : 29th Apr 2023
Biometrics : 8th May
BVL & PPR : 25th May

My Fiance :
Applied : 30th Apr
Biometrics : 12th May
BVL & PPR : 23rd June

Thanks to all the guidance received from the responses in this thread. May God grants us all his divine success in the name of Jesus. Amen

I paid the courier before sending via DHL. The receipt of payment was part of what I included in the envelope plus my passport and sent via DHL

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Tegnaworld23: 11:45pm On Jun 23, 2023
Hello guys, dm just send me PPR tonight. Anyways I'm fine but not too happy like that sha, because they refused me.last week Saturday and it ry pain my ass, but I cum check my SOP myself and discovered I funked up. Naso I sit down recompose o, vert detailed and simple English like ss2 pikin even with a lot of errors I swear na after submission I noticed those errors, but grace speaks, even my lil brother that got approved last week has a lot of errors on his SOP, so I think there's more to this SOP thing than big big English, detailed matters and explanations of any lump sum. Good luck to those waiting for ppr, me just dey like this having a cup of coffee as he de rain. Pls make your SOP understandable with very simple English and explaina lump sum. Good night peepz

Please I need assistance

How do I reserve and book a hotel room here in Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ ahead of my arrival to pay in person when I get there? All the ones I have been seeing in Mississauga ON, they are asking me to put my card details for payment. Maybe there’s something am not doing right? Please, someone should assist on how to reserve a room without paying

Good morning Famz,

I got a message since Monday 19th June that my passport has been dispatched via Courier but i am yet to receive it.

I sent an email to VFS on Wednesday for them to send me the UPS tracking number but they are yet to respond.

Is there any other way i can get the UPS tracking number?

Can you share with me what you need to send to VFS for the passport collection, and how you made payment for courier delivery pls
