Ok thanks alot. I understand now.

Did you use DHL. I want to know if you successfully did a two-way courier.

Debbieeeeeee:
Yes I did my biometrics in Lagos but they said since this isn’t my first time submitting I have to pay per every time I send my passport.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Chidx(f): 8:54am On Sep 16, 2024
please did you do your biometrics in the same lagos vfs and include the slip you got from biometrics in the envelope?
Because I am surprised you got this message to pay transmission fees

Please help , thank you

Debbieeeeeee:
Kindly go to sterling bank or transfer online the sum of #36,720 per person for package transmission fee and 3470 for sms to acct number 0065165839 . Acct name :Canada vfs fee account.forward the payment details to:Canadang@vfshelpline.com mention your names on the email.Please indicate Lagos as submission center

This message was sent to me after i submitted to them via dhl last month
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Chidx(f): 8:44am On Sep 16, 2024
please i am in this same situation, but i thought my parents don’t have to pay transmission fees as they did their biometrics in the lagos vfs

But they will pay for dhl and return of passport

Please clarify

affoncad:
Yea ,they have to pay again and current fee is 36,720.00 and you need to book online to submit at vfs or walk to dhl anytime as dhl do not need appointmrnt booking to send passport to canada vfs .

Please I need advise oo… help me

Chidx:
Good day all,

Please I need advise.

My brother is in the uk. He graduated last year and has started working and has a 3year working permit. His graduation ceremony has just been fixed and he has gotten letter of invitation from the school for Me and my other brother to attend.
I am a PR in Canada and I already have a uk visa.
My other brother is a post graduate student in Nigeria.

I need advice on sponsorship for my other brother.
1. Should I be his sponsor? I can send his flight and stipend money to his naira account, and give him a letter of sponsorship with my ID, payslips and bank statements.
2. Should my brother in uk be his sponsor ?
3. Should both of us be his sponsor? Maybe me for flights and my brother in uk for accommodation?

Please I need advice on making his visa application airtight!

My other bro in Nigeria is 30, he has one study visa denial from Canada in 2016. Never had s visa or travelled out of Nigeria before. No job, still studying.

Thanks alot for any help.

I just saw your comment and went to check applications I submitted on behalf of my aunt and (her son)my cousin, visit visa to come and see myself and my other cousin who is my aunt's son

I submitted Jan 10, my aunt did not need biometrics as she gave them in 2016 and they were still valid
My cousin did his biometrics Jan 16
Today Jan 24, their profiles says: "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements"!!!
Although it still says "We are processing your background check,..." but fingers crossed

I am super excited because last year, my dad's application from submission to PPR was May 31 to Nov 7th

I did not dream of this speed, except the "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" no more indicates what it used to.
Update:
Submitted : January 10th, 2023
Biometrics completed: January 16th, 2023
Eligibility started: January 24th, 2023
PPR: January 25th, 2023

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Chidx(f): 5:29pm On Nov 08, 2022
Hi Ibaka,

so please are you saying this SMS fee is optional.

My dad did his biometrics at the Lagos VFS office and gott his PPR yesterday.

Before I could wake up, he had sent out his passports and all documents to the Lagos VFS office via DHL.

Now I am worried as he did not pay the 990 SMS fee and I dont know what the implication would be.

ibaka:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for writing to VFS Global Canada, Nigeria.

If so, be informed that the Embassy has the actual processing time .Once you have received notification from the Government of Canada requesting your passport, you are to submit all passports strictly by Courier services ONLY. You can send in all required documents by the IRCC via a one-way courier process, using your preferred courier service agency (Red Star,UPS, FedEx, Dhl etc…) to the Visa Application Centre of VFS.

I am sure he meant no harm. Probably did not realise OND/HND already gave him two or more certificates.

Others have immediately correctedthe advice.

Prettiepearlz:
So what certificate courses exactly does he need to boost his scores asides masters which wouldn't change much because age is no longer on his side? ND and HND has already given him two or more certificates. Please let's be sure of what we are saying before dishing it out as advise.

Hello fellow Nairalanders, trust you are all keeping safe.. I claim my own testimony here in part 10...

I need your help ooo.. I have used the CRS Tool to evaluate my husband and I using these profiles Hubby and I -we both have Masters
Hubby Age -36years
Work experience- 6 years plus each
No relations/job offer
IELTS-exam is next month but estimated us getting band 7 each
The addition of all this criteria above is 449, far below 470.

What else can we do to boost our score? Should I evaluate our BSc degrees ? I also have ACCA certificate , should I evaluate that as well? Will our scores be boosted?

If we opt for PNP with this score, will our chances of getting ITA be higher?

Thanks guys for your anticipated response

Oh wow...i misread the information.

Just read the mandatory requirements again

Thank you
Kekereekun123:
the bsc requirement is expressly stated by oinp
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program - Connect Here Part 9 by Chidx(f):
But do you have a 3 year degree program?
OR
Does your ECA at least evaluate it as an equivalent of a bachelor's degree

For example, if its ACCA advanced diploma and WES has evaluated it as a 3year degree, it suffices

Update: Wrong info above. BSC is mandatory for Ontario PnP application

mobenjackson:
Just got NOI from Ontario but unfortunately can't go through with it cus i don't have a Bachelor’s degree as part of my 2 or more certificate... CRS of 471, NOC 1114... God pls, give me FSW ITA oooo.

IfeOlala:
When you evaluated your F1 - F3, did you do the Foundation in Professionalism module? Because i heard that can be the issue at times

Also getting one semester can still be used to claim '2 or more degrees', so nothing spoil. The 'one semester' question was posed to IRCC directly and they responded in the affirmative.
Yes, you cannot get the diploma without completing the ethics module.
