Good morning house,
I want to ask if there may likely be an interview session from UKVI? Should someone prepare for one? My niece is booked for priority visa (biometric appointment) is this morning.

Kindly assist

@lagosismyhome @justwise

Congrats...was there an interview session?

Tyler2020:
Good morning my people!
Testimony time��������
Visa alert don land

Biometrics: 20/11/2020
Decision email: 27/11/2020 (for both of us)
Collection email for main applicant: 3/12/2020
Collection email for dependant spouse: 3/12/2020

I wish everyone expecting visa approval by God’s grace

Proactively pay the 7,430 transmission fee and send evidence of payment to them via email with an explanation

adeenzo:
Woah that was 2016 hahaha.... I didn’t know they requested such. I sent all forms including the BVL...
sigh... na on God I dey so

You’re right...the long yellow slip...it was white for some people though. It was the receipt slip that confirmed you paid for the biometric collection

MadeMan01:
Woah...
When you first did your biometric capture, there was a yellow slip stapled to the consent form you signed on day you were finger printed... Let gurus chip in o

Not at all

Obanidavid:
To the glory of God, my passport have been delivered today.

Therefore, I would like to knows if we need to obtain a yellow card before leaving Nigeria to Canada?

Why not apply for a PG cert in same course?

All appropriate documents submitted, two pages sop which I believe was solid enough, 26 years old, applied for another Bsc, I have a a first degree in tourism management which I never used for work, I’m fully into business now, and I applied for a Bsc in Business administration, I showed all my business documents and sponsors documents. I am willing to reapply again and possibly defer my admission till Spring 2021, please how soon should I reapply. Also I already passed Medicals for this current application will I need to do another Medicals I wish to get the study permit on my second trial . Thank you.

JayLaw2:
Just did. Thanks!

Done

JayLaw2:
Can someone kindly send me the courier consent form please? I can't get through to VFS.

You can send me a mail

LOI just dropped for my daughter...counterfoil received yesterday..

You guys can check

You need to calm down and get them on phone again. You’re almost at the finish line, don’t let anyone ruin your joy.

dicedapples:
Hello, I’m not sure of what to do again. I got a notification that my passport is ready for pick up, I called the vfs, the agent was extremely rude to me and even cut the phone on me while I was calling out my tracking ID. I have tried to call the vfs back, but it doesn’t go through. Can anyone please put me through with the process, thank you.

What did they say in reference to the notification received this morning

evergold:
For those trying to reach VFS and can't get through, if you use Android, download auto redial.

I just used it. I set it to automatically dial VFS 386 times. After about the 15th time I was able to talk to an agent.

Another VFS notification just dropped. Guys that got counterfoils yesterday should check their emails

This is for the benefit of those who may have to change schools whilst in Canada...

You’ll be the Assistant guardian (Lol) of my daughter. She’s off to NorQuest College, Edmonton...

Best of luck, yonder...

DefyTheOdds:
Edmonton, Alberta here

From 9am

Dame24:
Goodmorning everyone, please what time can we start calling vfs, the automated message is saying they are closed when I selected the option to talk to an agent. Na wa oh

Lekiboboe, start the day with them...

Good morning

Lekiboboe:
Called this number 15 minutes ago, the person who picked started with some story for the gods and after telling me to speak with an agent, I jz heard WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE DAY,

4PM never nack ooooo

Someone used VFS Ghana in late October and even shared their payment details here. He didn’t give a feedback or maybe I missed it. The general feeling is that Niamey or Ghana can’t be as overwhelmed as Lagos and Abuja

iampaulsmith:
Has anyone sent their passport to any of the VFS offices outside Nigeria?

You can book directly on the sites of airlines, although you may have difficulty making payment...it’s worth the try though.

When you log in and input flight details, you’ll know the prices...

Kellymaria:
Hi guys, please I have a quick question.

Can I book directly on flight website rather than using third party websites.

Can I book directly in Ethiopian airline website instead of booking on wakanow or travelstart.

Please respond with your opinion and advice guys. Thanks.

Then you need to get them on phone by all means

08150188800

Lekiboboe:
Still getting this

See screenshot in the link

I think you are better off dealing with Abuja Vfs directly. I pray they don’t send it to VFS Lagos in any way...else Na wahala be that

Dee4Doyinsola:
Okay, thank you.

What’s the message you got after tracking today?

Lekiboboe:
With COUNTERFOIL & LOI alrdy gotten, can one go ahead to pay the #12k for passport return
or
wait for VFS Lagos to send me an information that the passport has gotten back to them and instruct me to pay?


FYI : Haven't gotten the 4th Mail from VFS


Thanks

Perhaps, workload redistribution. They moved some passports to IRCC Abuja two weeks ago

Dee4Doyinsola:
Please what does this mean?
Dear .....
The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID: 2020 has been dispatched from the ircc Office to the Canada Visa Application Centre in Abuja CVO.

Counterfoil and LOI were updated last week.
Please I submitted at Lagos office not Abuja

Your program must be for 3 years then...

Spotlights:
Counterfoil dropped as well


DANIEL xxxxxxx Counterfoil E7xxxxxxx Your document is valid. 2023/03/31 2020/12/02 B5xxxxxx Nigeria

Did you log in to your GC key account today? You may not get a “do not reply” email...please log in.

My daughter’s counterfoil just dropped; I didn’t get an email from IRCC but got a VFS Global notification that her decision Envelope has been dispatched from IRCC Abuja to VFS Abuja...So I logged in to her GC key account and saw the change to “Approved” and also her counterfoil..

Ikechuqu:
The depression is serious.

VFS is saying my passport is ready for collection, no updates on my IRCC for counterfoil or LOI. So I just confuse as I dey so

The 4th email confirms that IRCC is finally with your passport and your counterfoil should land in GC key account within days.

You only get a stamped passport back...LOI should go to your GC key account.

SKEPTA:
hello guys,
i have been seeing forth mail from VFS everywhere
what’re the 4 mails and also after submitting my passport for stamping, is it only LOI and a stamped passport that i am meant to get back?

What’s the date on your tracking ID? Hopefully you should get a message in your GC key account soonest.

Phatkayconcept:
How did you get this?

I just got the fourth email from vfs, mail says,

Passport trackinf ID has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on 12/2/2020 7:56:50 AM

What next guys, I submitted since 12 Nov

Lagos VFS? It’ll surely be honored; we have folks here that used the same route to get their passports back.

I don’t think you need to make any additional payment. VFS uses UPS for its in-house courier services so they know how they pick these packages.

All will be well

NairaLuck:
Hello fellow Canadian dreamers,

Please I need a clarification, imy passport has been submitted to the embassy for stamp. I am a first time applicant, I paid UPS two-way courier service.

When my passport is returned to Vfs, will I still pay that N11,300? Will my two-way courier be honored? If yes, will it cause a delay contacting UPS for pickup?


Please I need clarification so as to prepare.


Thanks in anticipation

Most likely. Did you use a 2-way courier?

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

Dameelee:
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.

Since last year

MadeMan01:
Have they started to issue passport with 10year validity. Please can I have your immigration contact spouse and brother use

Please what’s the expiry date on the counterfoil? Does it align with your passport expiry date or your program ending date?

Akannitommy:
Submitted passport on 3rd November (same day as PPR) and yes background check changed to September 3rd today, for the first time but final status says Approved.
