Please who have idea about the charges that CIBC bank charge for tuition fees

please go to their website, look for your school, and input your payment, you would see the CIBC charges as well.

owolabia:
Congrats. Paper or online application?

Online application

Finally counterfoil has dropped and status has changed to approved.
I got 3 years tho, and my course is a two year course.
Apparently my background check was completed the same day I submitted.
Eligibility was just completed today

MadeMan01:
Hello house,
I have not been able to login to my GCKEY since morning.
Is anyone experiencing same? Is it a sign of upcoming updates?

I am currently experiencing the same thing, I guess its just a server downtime, but definitely be hopeful something comes after their servers are restored

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

Nice one, I still dey wait for LOI and Counterfoil ooo, hopefully, it drops this week
Make Abuja VFS get sense na and make them do normal ooo . At this rate na to change my flight ticket date from 18th ..

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.

Thanks for the heads up.
What was the time frame between your PPR and LOI/COUNTERFOIL?
I got my PPR 3rd of December, still awaiting LOI and Counterfoil.

Dameelee:
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.

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

NairaLuck:
My brother I have been trying to call. No single update aside the one of last week. My passport has been dispatched to Canada visa application center, which I presume the one at lekki.


No update since

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

Akannitommy:
I suggest you change your ticket. I sent my own passport since November 3rd to Lagos VFS. I have had to change my planned travel from 17th to 26th already. It is too tight between now and 18th - that's just 4-days.

Thanks, now the issue is which date to change it to, if I push it to 26th, what's the possibility will I get my passport before that time again...
everything na struggle for this country sha.

Any word from Abuja VFS, since Dec. 3rd wey I don submit my passport, nothing yet from them, still waiting for LOI
and I don go book flight for 18th, omo na on top vibes and Insha Allah I dey so
[b]@nairaluck [/b]any luck from your side , because e b like say we dey the same boat

Is it possible that anybody has ever gotten any sort of update on their application or update on their visa tracking on a weekend. Or whichever update you will receive will be strictly Monday to Friday?
Thanks

Thanks, guys for the response
The rate at which I ask questions on this platform, if people have shotgun they will shoot me ...
Thanks, all the same, my heart is at rest now, at least by next week passport suppose land

Spotlights:
It means your passport has been collected from vfs by the courier service paid for.

Passport enroute to you

Hello Spotlight please check my previous post up with the screenshot, please can you enlighten me more about it, and am i using the right portal cos mine seems quite different from everybody else's own.
Do revert, Thanks

Dee4Doyinsola:
Gurus in the house please what does vfs mean by this mail? When I tracked it I saw this message:

The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. bleep has been collected from the Canada Visa Application Centre, Lagos on 2020/12/11.


Sincerely, I can't wait for this vfs season of my life to be over

Please from where did you track your application? The place I tracked mine this is how it comes out, please view the screenshot below.
Anybody in this stage as well.
Please help!!!

adeenzo:
Wow, thanks for the eye opener @kakokako.
Please what is the average time frame of Abuja vfs..
And also when do you think I should be expectant of the letter of introduction from IRCC.
cos they received my passport on the 4th of December and naively I went ahead to book my flight for 18th of December, do you think the passport can arrive before that time. Ps. I have paid all monetary fees (DHL 2 way courier services and transmissions fee).
Thanks

Please @kakokako and other gurus kindly shed more light on the question above. please, thanks

Kakokako:
Your passport is in Abuja office of the Canadian High Commission, that's where it will be stamped!

LOI drop naaa.... please naa, why are you hiding from me, don’t be shy ...

Kimkalash:
Yeah early last week

Nice, when did you send your passport? I sent mine on Thursday 3rd of December and it reached Abuja on Friday 4th, and today I got the message that my passport is at Canada visa office (and someone on this platform said it meant my passport is in Nairobi) I used DHL 2 way courier service.
When do you think can be a feasible estimated time of the passport returning?
Thanks

Kimkalash:
Tomorrow hopefully

Have you received your letter info introduction @kimkalash

I just got my tracking number ID and when I tracked my application it is said "visa application tracking number ID xxxxx is being processed at the Canada visa office. for more info log on to bla bla bla.
I heard this means my passport is in Nairobi, Kenya.
At what point do I get my letter of introduction?.
Ps. I haven't gotten any email from the VFS I had to call for hours before I got my tracking ID.

NairaLuck:
It's in Nairobi, I think they'll dispatch yours and mine together as one batch, cause their holiday is fast approaching

ope ooo
have you received letter of introduction?

my question is which 'Canada visa office' is it in Nigeria or Nairobi (where I got my PPR from).
Thanks in advance

I've sent emails to them thrice since Friday, no response from them yet. I read a post here that they don't reply to emails, call them instead, 08150199900. Call and call and call till you're attended to. It's not a task for the weak.

why must everything be a struggle in this country

Chikaima18:
There is no format. Just send your full names as is on your passport and the DHL tracking number. Please follow up with a call as that is faster than email

Thanks for this

Please is anyone with the mobile numbers for Abuja VFS? My passport has been ready for collection since 3rd December and I paid for 2-way via DHL. They're yet to notify DHL, I don't know how to reach them. Are they not supposed to notify DHL to pick up my package? What kind of wahala is this again? I've sent emails once everyday since then, no information from them. I tracked my return waybill and it still has the received information, no dispatched tracking. DHL is waiting for their notification. Nawao!!

Apologies i don't have the number you are requesting but I am sure the gurus in the house will help you out. but please I would appreciate it if you can enlighting me on your Abuja VFS timeline. my passport has been delivered to abuja since Friday and till now i haven't gotten any confirmation email from the VFS, is this normal?

Blavkmaann:
UPS GUY JUST CALLED ME THAT I SHOULD BE IN THE HOUSE THAT HE IS COMING!


I’m boiling rice for him, I want to suprise him

The joy in your heart right now
please which vfs did you send it to.
Please if it was Abuja vfs kindly tell us your timeline
because I sent my documents and passport to Abuja vfs on Thursday and from the tracking ID with DHL I can see that the package was delivered on Friday at the close of business.
But I haven’t gotten any email from the VFS till now, Is this normal, or I should start bombarding them with emails

Mmesomamichael:
Please what does the enrollment letter looks like?

Enrollment letter is basically a confirmation of your course schedule for the first semester.
You must have paid your fees (atleast first semester complete) before you can be issued a confirmation of enrollment letter.
Kindly contact your school for it, or if your school has a student portal try and check through.
I already have mine.

JayLaw2:
Hello house, does a Nigerian require a transit visa when having a layover of 8 hours at Amsterdam (Schiphol) airport please? I'm looking at booking my flight to Toronto with KLM.

No you don’t need a transit visa...
KLM is a very good airline but it’s quite on the high side (pricey) right now tho
