Hi. My sister sent her passport via DHL Isolo last Thursday, and was told that she would need to come back and pick it there when it is ready for collection. My questions are, do she need to pay the 12k for courier again? Do she need to inform VFS that she'd sent her passport via DHL? and do you have an idea of how she can track her passport submission to know when she would get it back? Thank you.

Kaylash:
Send an email with your proof of payment and application tracking to info.cannig@vfshelpline.com. As seen on this platform, they are supposed to respond and ask you to fill a courier form. They never responded to any emails I sent them for my mum’s courier payment. When she submitted her passport she submitter a copy of the evidence of payment and wrote her address, phone number, etc . I guess they used this information. But send the email. If you don’t get a response then harass them with phone calls

Kaylash:
she paid 12k for the courier service and they shipped the passport to her

Kaylash:
My mum has gotten her passport back. S surprised to see she was given a 4 year visa. Was expecting the usual 6 months.

Donobas:
PLEASE I NEED HELP!!! My mum has been asked to submit her passport for Canadian Visitor's Visa. How do I proceed with transmitting this to VFS

wizean:
The most frustrating part is the fact that they are not reachable. They don't pick calls on their official contact phone number, the chat platform isn't available and they don't respond to mails. I sent a mail requesting for the procedure to send passports to them since December 30th, they are yet to respond till date. I eventually got all the info on Nairaland. Except for the personal phone numbers that people are giving out here now, it's just almost impossible to reach them if you have any issues and that's just very unfair. Why should everything be so difficult with the Nigerian system?

Dejavu44:
But the instruction in the ppr email is to submit passports with at least 6months validility.

I should be screening and jumping as I type this but I guess the excitement has bubbled down now the focus is on the next objective - LANDING

Early Days
My brother first introduced me to this Express Entry March 2016. He sent me an email with all the details urging me to take it serious and write IELTS.
Then I used the CRS calculator and realized that I would need at least a masters to meet up with the draws trend then. I abandoned it as I dint have a master yet and EE wasn’t popular then.
Fastforward March 2017 I lost my plush job and my world basically crash landed. I knew immediately I had to leave this country to get a chance of living a comfortable life.
My brother told me again bout Express Entry and that he had applied. I quickly took interest again as the draws became very low 413, 415,421.Canada was doing EE bonanza. I rushed to do my IELTS, WES and open my profile but by the time I was done about three months later, the draws has gone up to the 433 range and I couldn’t meet up again until 2 years later April 2019.
My brother an sister got there ppr that year, then I knew I had bleeped up but vowed I will also get it.

IELTS
1st IELTS LRWS 8 6.5 7 7 May 2017
2nd. 8. 9. 7 7 Jun 2017
3rd. 8.5 8 7 8.5 July 2018

I wrote the 3rd IELTS hoping to max out to boost point but it dint help.

Then the puzzle to boost points began, around July 2018 my comrade in the struggle told me that writing ACCA diploma would count as 2or more certificates with my bac. I was skeptical at first but was gonna do anything for the points

3 months later I was done with the diploma and applied for WES.

WES
I had to do a re-evaluation for 2 or more certificates after completing the diploma. Wes had there issues but thank God I was done with them 4 months laters. My diploma was evaluated as a 3yrs program while some pple got 1 semester maybe that due to d fact that I had opened my ACCA account many years ago but just abandoned it.

POF

100% gift deed from dad. Notarized
Submitted 6 months bank statement, gift deed transfer slip and 6months fixed deposit certificate

Work Permit
Well I am not working at the moment and I stated that. As I was studying full time now
I got a letter from my former work place in CIC format where I had worked for over 3 yrs and ended over a year as at AOR.
I submitted just the letter and my boss business card.
Siblingship & Pr status of brother
My brother provided a letter introducing me as his brother, his Pr card, gas light bill, tenancy agreement
I also provided an affidavit and thankfully we have more than enough pictures growing up as a family, I provided enuf pics frm about age 5 till very recent pics.

Post AOR
There was a very long silence and wait was really frustrating once I crossed the 6months timeline I literally was depressed especially as you can know what it going on with your file even when you call. Thank God it came through.

My watch has ended.
