Nice one bro . Congratulations.
My passport request took 35-day after medical passed no be small thing oo... Had gained my weight back sha. since had deferred to winter.

Highly unlikely. Once they have approved an application and requested for passport they have approved it. They won't return it and say oh, we are sorry for approving and requesting your passport, we have changed our mind, you can't study in Canada again for now. So what would be the point of a new background check that must have preceded the approval when neccessary? The legal blowback of such evident ineptitude will be massive, which makes it unlikely. We need to put into considerations also that Canadian government and her agencies are riddled with bottlenecks, slowness and inefficiencies. Someone shared a Quora post that explained it sometimes ago on this thread. My guess is that the 5wks wait for passport stamping and stuff is coz of the unusual route the passport took to get there in the first place. An inter-country passport sending, possibly first between two VFSs in different countries (Will be processed by both), then from VFS in the UK to the London Visa Office (will be proccessed there), possibly back to VFS in UK, then to VFS in Lagos. This may even explain why they charge passport transmission fee when you are sending a passport through a VFS you didn't apply from. initially.

I am probably wrong in the scenario I just described, but it's plausible. When you add these all up, it could explain that 5wks. Except in very rare situations, these folks are not known as the bastion of efficiency.

Correct Chief... Just catching fun wit CIC daily films. I'm happy for him. My own still counting, two weeks now.... May God WILL be done in everylife here!!!

Been long you saw me guys. It has been one big experience for me. But I thank God he did not let enemies laugh over me.

I got passport request on 15/08/18 back in London, got back to Nigeria with all my loads on 18/08/18 cos my Uk visa was about to expire and then submitted my passport at Lagos Canada VFS office on 20/08/18 to get it stamped. Then the long wait started.


I had to defer my admission and school said they would not give me a new LOA until they see my stamped passport. I started panicking cos my old LOA expired while waiting.

You guys don’t want to even imagine what was going through my mind? Imagine telling everyone they have requested for your passport ( I already announced on Nairaland and even told about 10 close friends and family out of excitement) and then what should normally take 7-10 days is taking forever.

Questions I started asking myself; Who did I tell and was not happy for me? Are they doing additional checks after asking for my passport? God have i done something bad in Lagos that wants to prevent my approval?

P.S: I waited 5 weeks and 3 days to get my passport request letter back then in London and then I waited another 5 weeks and 3 days in Lagos to get my visa stamped.

Passport was submitted 20/08/18. I got my correspondence letter on 27/09/18 and counter foil was stamped 26/09/18.

please this is my personal opinion.

(1) until you get your passport stamped and collect it physically, don’t announce it. I repeat do not announce it. Even after you have gotten it, continue in prayers cos POE still Dey there.

God is the greatest. God is the greatest. God is the greatest.

You guys will see more of me here now.

LMAO��
Maybe they started another background check for you. You should be gaining weight back now. It wasn't easy �
