Anyone travelling from Lagos with Ethiopian airlines today?

BaaleOfOntario:
Via courier or online application portal ?

BaaleOfOntario:
1. Hi Dame, when you applied to Holland College, were you asked to send official transcript from the University you graduated from ?

Chocs:

Anony113x:
Congratulations o..do you stay at lagos

Dee4Doyinsola:
I hope you receive your passport this week. All is well.

Dee4Doyinsola:
Were you able to reach them eventually? I was able to speak with one of their agents around 2:50 pm and she told me my passport was still in transit from Abuja to Lagos since Thursday, December 3rd. She also said it takes approximately 5 working days for them to receive the passport. Sincerely I don't know what to do to expedite the process .........

rebecausoro:
Yay!
Got my passport exactly 10 mins ago.

Lagos tomorrow. St John's next tomorrow.

Dee4Doyinsola:
May God send us help and deliver us from this VFS Lagos wahala....

Dee4Doyinsola:
Please who has been able to reach lagos VFS today. I have called over 120 times and they keep saying busy. I have been calling the famous 08150199900 and whenever I call the other line 09093303109 the agents said the Canada line was busy the times I was able to get through to them.

rebecausoro:
I'm really sorry about this. I honestly thought they would process ours together. VFS is a mad company. Do they randomly do things or what? Don't relent. Send them an email and complain about this. Hopefully, you'll be in the Monday batch.

rebecausoro:
I just got the pickup message

The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. 20201105********* has been collected from the Canada Visa Application Centre,Canada Visa Application Centre, Lagos on 12/4/2020 11:44:43 AM. Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do not reply to this email.

Dame24 and others, kindly confirm yours. I'm trying to call them for the tracking number.

Kimkalash:
Is this the mail that says VFS has gotten it from IRCC or that VFS has given it to UPS?

Mmesomamichael:
When did you get a collection mail from VFS?

Ayobami2001:
For passport return hopefuls, I just got off the line with VFS. The customer service representative said the delay is caused by the number of courier requests they have gotten these past few weeks. I was like...why then charge that exorbitant fee if you can't deliver. As usual, apologies followed. She said requests from the last few weeks are all being prepped for dispatch next week. I took that with a pinch of salt cos I have heard that before...I guess we have to be patient. It will be great if more folks get to call them today to pile the pressure, of course if your call can get through the traffic.

Hi @rebecausoro ....Any breakthrough with your passport? Cos of your pretty tight flight schedule.

rebecausoro:
Were you able to reach them? I called them with the second number and it was directing me to another thing entirely. I selected Schengen visa and told the agent to transfer me to the Canada section. It finally worked and after lamenting my situation, they said the normal "we are working on it". These guys seem to be heartless. If they can't send it via courier, they should allow me pick up my passport in-person. The Lagos VFS is the truly definition of "village people".

fratermathy:
Start calling by 9.05am. Do well to disturb them o. It seems that they are also arbitrarily returning passports. You need to "induce" them via calls and emails to return your own travelling document. This is Nigeria!

Dampops:
From 9am

adeenzo:
I was thinking VFS Abuja, is that more reliable?
And also how do I go about it. Please are there any threads for that with the prices. Thanks.

adeenzo:
PPR just dropped... yes yes yes

Dora14:
My passport just landed ohhh
UPS just delivered
Hallelujah!!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD

rebecausoro:
Those who have paid and are waiting for VFS to return their passports, any update? The silence is deafening. 3 days to scheduled flight. Exactly one month since I submitted my passport.

I called them earlier and they didn't give anything useful apart from their "we are working on it" rubbish.

FYI: I discovered another number to reach VFS Lagos- 08150188800

BaaleOfOntario:
Thanks. I'm talking about at the time of application if the balance was less than 300k not after your visa application.

BaaleOfOntario:
Alright. I understand you didn't pay tuition and your Dads soa was around 6.8m. I'm asking after subtracting you tuition and living expenses of 10,000 cad from the 6.8m. Does it mean that the balance less than 300k. Please do you understsnd my question

I haven’t paid tuition as at the time of application. So the balance was still about 6.8

BaaleOfOntario:
Hello Dame24. I want to ask you something please. When I checked the tuition fee of your program from the school website, its 8600 CAD plus 4000 CAD for int'l students plus 10000 living expenses. Everything equals almost 6,530,000 and you submitted your Dad's soa of 6.8million naira.

Does that mean the balance in your Dad's account is less that 300k naira. I'm just curious .
