Yes I have and it says it has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office with todays date

Dampops:
Have you tried to track your passport using the tracking ID?

Please when sending an email to VFS what should be the content of the mail? I mean am I supposed to iclude my passport no or just the tracking details?

My brother the thing tire me o, I got an email from VFS today saying my passport has is at VFS abuja... the people are just mad, something I submitted to Lagos 10days ago.

NairaLuck:
Can we trend #WeNeedOurPassports on Twitter NG or #VfsReleaseOurPassports

this is becoming unbecoming o. Imagine no tracking number since, and some who have gotten both counterfoil and loi are yet to receive their passports.


Just scattering people's plans, now they'll go on scheduled break soon for the festive period. Everything moves to next year

Good morning people
Please do I have to print out a new statement of account when I want to travel to sure POF?
If yes, can I print it out now because I want to change some money. Or I can print it even after taking out the money I want to change?

Lagos VFS?

Dame24:
I sent it on 4th of November

Please what is counterfoil abeg

rebecausoro:
I checked around past 12 or so. I saw this message:

November 23, 2020 Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.

It was even approved yesterday, not today.
Counterfoil is valid for 4 years too

Please can you drop the number you called?

Ikechuqu:
I’ve not received any mails from IRCC since my PPR on the 3rd.... Had to even hound VFS Lagos for two weeks with calls before I got a tracking ID for passport they received on the 6th.... I called yesterday though and they said it’s still with the Embassy.

Thank you so much for this information.
and I'll be more than glad to meet you some day after I settle in.

Naijaforeigner:
Congrats Dameele.

Oh yes I finished from Fanshawe and I had to do 2 PGC programs. I am still in London Ontario, I work and live here.

What should you expect? I don’t even know what to tell you.
Well, it is a cool city and for me, l love it here (except the boring social life). It is also an okay city for international students although COVID has made it a bit challenging for students to get part time jobs.

Have an open mind, embrace other cultures and be willing to unlearn some stuffs we have been used to as Nigerians.

Transitioning from a 1 year PGWP to PR. This is a difficult one to answer as each person will have to evaluate their situation and determine best suits them and assess their apetite for risk.

It also depends on your age, IELTS, how soon you can get a job in NOC O,A or B post graduation and which route you are considering for PR.

Is it easy to get jobs post graduation in NOC 0, A or B? I did and had friends who also got those jobs. I must add, your program of choice also plays a key role.

It is very possible to get PR with just 1 year PGC, I have seen few people do it BEFORE COVID and I have friends in the process as we speak. I must also add, it is risky.

My personal suggestion will be, go for a second program if you have the money so that you can have peace of mind.

If you need anything when you come in to London Ontario, please feel free to reach out, ask questions as much as possible. I am more than happy to help you to the best of my ability.

Fanshawe will likely give you 2 free nights of accommodation while you search for houses.

On this thread In 2018, I got help from a wonderful man The Congo ( he has been in London for over 20 years or there about) and another wonderful Nigerian lady ( I can’t remember her user name anymore) who helped me settle in. God bless them.

Hello Naijaforeigner, I remember you saying you graduated from Fanshawe college (I hope I'm not mistaking you for someone else).
I just recently got my PPR and just waiting to get back my passport with the visa on it by Gods grace.
Please what should I expect as an international student going to London Ont? Do you think its possible to transition from Study visa to PR within my 1 year PGWP? Are you still living in London? if yes how easy do you think it is to get a job after school (business administrator with 3 years Naija experience)?
Please can someone tell me which is more preferable choice to fly with, Egypt or Ethiopian air.

Thank you so much

Lagos VFS through DHL, I took it to their office on Friday but they said they won’t deliver it to vfs till Monday.
I paid for the 2 way courier, it cost 1350 each

Pimp04:
Wassup, abeg where did you submit passport and how much? Is it 2way courier?

If you are traveling towards the end of the year, Check travelstart, there’s a flight for 27th Dec for 300k Egypt air

MOKENN:
Please who has been able to check for flights.

Which low cost flights are available please?

Hello. Please where can I find cheap flights or what airline do you think is highly recommended?

Please can someone provide the full address of VFS lagos. The one I'll put on the envelope.

Congrats sis..

Eilenora:
PPR OOOOOOO

PPR just dropped...
Thank you Jesus.

Please o, you people should not say my wahala is too much. I just want to find out if I'm to submit the entire consent form or just the part I signed?
Also the slip given to me when I went for biometric had an attachment of my passport bio data page and a copy of the consent form I signed, am I submitting it just the way it was given to me?

I just sent an email request. I couldn't edit it for some reason.
Please reply the mail so i can send you my number

Eilenora:

quote author=Vikta1 post=96199993]

Hello Dameelee

Eilenora:

quote author=Dameelee post=96198002]Yaaaaay, congrats on the BVL, I told you we are in this together.
I haven’t gotten PPR yet, but I believe I should receive it today
Yes I’m in Lagos and I’m using DHL. Sending to VFS Lagos.

May 18

Debbyiiii:
when did you apply

Thank you
I’m yet to get the PPR, I only got BVL yesterday, hoping to get the PPR today.

Sirromey:
Congrats. When did you get your PPR?

Yaaaaay, congrats on the BVL, I told you we are in this together.
I haven’t gotten PPR yet, but I believe I should receive it today
Yes I’m in Lagos and I’m using DHL. Sending to VFS Lagos.

Eilenora:
Hello.

Have you received PPR now? My bvl finally dropped few minutes ago. When will we receive PPR? Are you in Lagos? Are you using DHL or Ups? Lagos or Abuja?

quote author=Dameelee post=96186249]Have you gotten your passport back? If yes how long did it take for you to get it after submitting?

Heyyyy my fellow fanshawe student
Can I send the form to you in the morning cos it’s on my flash drive (at work) or you can ask if someone else can share with you tonight.

ojzreal:
please can I get a copy of the consent form, I sent an email to you earlier.....can we link up as am going to fanshawe too!!!

Have you gotten your passport back? If yes how long did it take for you to get it after submitting?

Japh11:
Since this is his first application and he did his biometrics in Lagos, he won't have to pay the transmission fee of 7430, but if he decides to send it to Abuja, inspite of the fact that it's his first time, as long as he did not do his biometrics in Abuja he will have to pay the transmission fee. As per the required documents. He should include:
2 duly filled consent form (just the second and last pages),
2 copies of his passport biodata page,
International passport,
Passport Request letter,
Biometric slip,
Receipt of payment for transmission fee(I.e if decides to submit in Abuja),
And his full name as it appears in his passport, phone number, email address and home address on a plain sheet of paper.

Please endeavour to use a two way courier. From my experience, I sent mine the first time without proper documentation, I wasn't contacted by VFS on how to correct it, I was only called and told to pay the transmission fee since I didn't do my biometrics in Abuja, after I made the payment and sent the receipt through the email they provided, I didn't get any tracking ID or update on the progress of my application. My luck was that I paid for two way courier. So all they did was to send it back to me to include the remaining documents.
Hope this helps and Congratulations!!!

Please did you fill the last page of the consent form?
I just read someone say you should fill the 2nd and last pages (I’ve attached a picture of the last page so you can remember)

MOKENN:
If you are not in a rush to travel, Lagos is fine. I submitted to Lagos on 26th and got it today (from Port harcourt).

Documents to send with passport are;
Int'l passport,
ppr letter,
biometrics slip,
2 vfs consent form,
2 copies of passport info page.

If you finally opt for Abuja, since you will need to pay N7,430, You may attach the proof of payment (Normal bank teller will be fine) but Snap it before you send them the original just in case they ask you to send the teller to an email address like inthe case of inhouse courier charge (feedback.cannig@vfshelpline.com)

Go to a courier service outlet (DHL, UPS etc), give them the docs and pay for your 2-way courier. the Lagos VFS use UPS. UPS is also less expensive than DHL.

I hope this helps

Please what about the last page that says "Applicant wishing to provide BIOMETRICS"
Also can I print it out and sign with biro or I have to do electronic signature?

Dampops:
Just the second page alone
