Thank you. Please how about the travel funds?

Hi guys. I just received a mail from vfs global now.

"The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. 20201127***** has been received from the IRCC Office on 12/14/2020 10:53:52 AM at the Canada Visa Application Centre, Canada Visa Application Centre, Lagos and is ready for collection."

To those that submitted to vfs lagos and used 2way, how long did it take to receive your passport back after receiving this mail? And do I need to call vfs global regarding the collection? Did you have to pay the vfs courier fee too? Kindly let me know what to do next. Thank you.

I just got off the phone with one of them after almost 150 attempts, the guy I spoke with said DHL(if you used dhl 2 way courier) will pick up every available passports before CoB today and begin dispatch tomorrow. If you live in Lagos, you should get it tomorrow, but if you live outside Lagos, you should receive it by Wednesday, that was what the guy told me. You don't have to pay anything again.
I then followed up with DHL to let them know I have something waiting for me at VFS which they promised to pick up today.
Still keeping fingers crossed.

awys:

Akannitommy:
Ensure you add the CAQ if you are going to Quebec Province. @Justmellow sir, is the Covid-19 test result compulsory for everyone or those going on specific airline or heading to certain province?

adeenzo:

At what time did you receive LOI? who sends it? is it IRCC via your GCkey portal or from your VFS via an email?

Popoolam:


When did you send the enquiry mail to them and how long did it take before they replied

Asking for a friend

awys:

From the reply the person said only general training is acceptable does that mean Academic training is not acceptable maybe it's a typo error. This is English ooo only general training is acceptable they shouldn't confuse people they should just say both are acceptable

OtunbaTee:

Me too I'm tired jare. ..they're just confusing people

Dameelee:
I got LOI on the 8th of Dec, it came from IRCC into my GCkey portal.
You should constantly check your GCkey portal to see if your Counterfoil has dropped because you won't get any notification for this, LOI usually drops a day or 2 after counterfoil.

adeenzo:

Which update did you get last week? have you gotten LOI?
what I am seeing on my portal is Visa application, tracking ID No.XXXXXXX is being processed at the Canada Visa Office. and I sent mine to abuja VFS

NairaLuck:

Received counter foil and loi last week.
Tracking just updated that it's now in lekki but I didn't get any email on it

Hello Akannitommy,

Sir is a title for those at the stage. I'm still a young adult. If you see me in person you go understand

For people that I know that got approved for SP or PR and that has travelled, none of them did one and they entered Canada without any hassle.

Even some CBSA agents at the POE don't pay any interest to the ArriveCAN thingy. Its good to have it available though–the CAN slip.

All the best bro!

awys:

Well all the same people submitted both and it was accepted this requirement though doesn't only determine the approval.Other factors supercedes this NSE requirements the only advantage is it expedites the visa processing time to within 20days to me oooo one should concentrate on more important factors I have not seen refusal based on IELTS though for study visa so one should just pray for grace and God to help us with the visa approval success. But anyone that wants the NSE can prepare for the IELTS as the both are acceptable ,the NSE requirements is not a compulsion one must do it it is stated if one cannot meet up they will continue processing it through regular channel. At least someone got the letter to bring TEF for Quebec region but the person decided he will wait for the time to elapse that he can't write TEF so it's optional if one wants the NSE requirements.

kelvine95:

I got the NSE in November and my study permit was reviewed between Friday and today, even without me responding to it. Though I later uploaded my IELTS result.

I don't think the NSE has anything to do with me being refused a study permit. I have a very unique story, and it is quite reasonable for Vo to think that I won't return home. I am the only child of my mum who bears different last name as me, and my dad is late since I was in jss1, unfortunately I didn't inherit anything from him, since his wonderful sisters had their way. Also, I couldn't get study leave from my work place, since I work for a private firm. I added my mum's land and an affidavit from her. I also added my half sister's birth certificate, this was technically the major home ties I had.

Hello Godsblessings,

The important documents are:

1. Admission Letter
2. Letter of Introduction
3. International Passport

If Applicable:

4. Enrollment Verification Letter
5. POF
6. ArriveCAN App Receipt
7. Covid-19 Test Result

The applicable documents should be packed separately in an easily accessible bag.

All the best

Hi,

It seems it is only "werey" that can work for this VFS Lagos people. But it is so unfortunate that we have to call before they will do their job.

As planned, I called on 08150199900 and got through once then spoke with a guy around 10:00am. He said he would check physically if it is in their office and also ask the account unit to verify my payment. I told him my passport is already in their office as several people in my batch are already in Canada. I promised him I will call back by 12noon and all day including all week if possible. I have lost money from changing ticket twice which is true. He said if every thing checks out, they will hand to UPS on Wednesday and it will take 3 days to reach me.

Then I got three emails an hour later within 2 minutes.

The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No************ blah blah blah
"(1) ...............has been received from the IRCC Office on 12/14/2020 11:00:41 AM and will be dispatched to...
(2) ..............has been received from the IRCC Office on 12/14/2020 11:01:01 AM and has been dispatched to..
(3) .............has been received from the IRCC Office on 12/14/2020 11:02:09 AM at the VAC, Lagos and is ready for collection.

I plan to call back again so they can confirm my payment and give me aws#

We die there today

Hello kelvine95,

How did you get to know the bolded?

Despite the funding, in order to address the VO's concerns, these are my suggestions to you (based on assumptions before the arrival of your notes).

1. Get a Letter of Support from your mom.

It doesn't necessarily have to be huge but she can at least transfer any possible amount out of the $10kCAD to give weight to the LOS.

2. Get a study leave letter to support the already employment documents at hand.

3. Include your BS or MBS, which ever is applicable

4. If you don't have personal assets, use your future plans and current job (career advancement) if lucrative to demonstrate a strong HT

5. Give a breakdown of the full coverage of the funding letter or certificate and the length in which the extra funds your mom will transfer to will also cover or go

6. Present any membership certificate in your possession (if applicable)

7. Since you're a research student, approach a Senior Lecturer, Dr., Prof., HOD or Dean in your graduate school that you can easily have a mutual rapport.

Explain your situation with evidence (full funding letter, refusal letter, LOA etc)

Ask for assistant for a verifiable Letter of Attestation address to the VO that acknowledge your possible return to an ongoing research work that you are part of. That you will return in time for the presentation ceremony... (If applicable)

8. There is also the Power of Attorney stating your control over your mom's or late father's property (if applicable)

Endeavour to think deeply for answers, only way to stroll pass this artificial hurdle.

All the best
