In your best interest, I will say use the visa even it’s once . I have never seen Canadian embassy so generous like they have been in the past one year.
I am sure they will tighten the nose in the coming months. Also using the visa stands you a way better chance with getting US Australia and UK visa

Congratulations!

This is a very good lesson for all.
If I have seen this earlier,I wouldn't have gone ahead to submit my passport that will expire by May 30th 2024 for VISA stamping.

I got passport request August 21 st........ But went ahead to submit the passport that will expire May 30th 2024, by August 24th.

I should have renewed my passport to save future stress of applying.

Is well.
I swear its the best thing to do. Just maximize the opportunity and don't bother your head with them for the next 10 years!!!

Finally got my passport with 10 year visa stamped on it.
its been a loooooong walk to freedom.
Summited Application July 2022
PPR June 30 2023
My passport expires next year, had to do urgent passport with 10 years validity and also change from my maiden name to my married name. (300k)
I sent in passport July 17 but it was returned August 8 (30 days submission window exceeded) due to me not including the yellow slip issued during the biometric screening.
I had to go resubmit August 10 and finally collected it today.

The 30 days window being exceeded and me using a new passport with a new last name different from what i applied with got me worried but it all came together at the end. Thanks to everyone who takes time out to help people in here, God bless you all.

Resent my passport today after it was returned for lack of the Biometric Slip. 30 days windows has elapsed.

asking again if anyone has had to deal with submitting after the expiration of the 30 day window??

are you still within the 30 days window? If yes do all you can to submit the passport yourself if possible. I’m yet to see anyone gotten their visa after the 30 days window.
Well the window has been exceeded. So na prayer remain
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by dkgetmuny: 7:57am On Aug 10, 2023
I am just curious please has anyone who had to submit outside the 30 days window gotten approved? I am dealing with having to re-submit my passport after it was returned.

Did you attach the slip they gave you during biometrics to show you did biometrics there in Lagos vac?
No I did not. Neither did i attach the yellow slip either. I am suspecting that is why it was returned but its unfortunate no letter or reason was given for returning the package.

I just quickly googled ICR. Says Invoice Cum Receipt. Did you do biometrics in Lagos and sent your passport to Abuja for stamping or vice versa? In that case you needed to pay transmission fee. If you paid, did you attach the receipt?
Thanks for your response. No i did biometrics in Lagos and submitted to Lagos. I plan to resubmit but my major concern now is i am way over the 30 days submissions window. My PPR expired July 30. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Omo I couriered my passport to the Lagos office. It was Received on the 17 of July. Till now, no tracking ID or any form of notification they even have my passport let alone done stamping it. Chatted with one Chiamaka she was so rude and dismissive.

Any other person in this boat?
What’s the advice please

Hi, please I need advice on what to do.

I have submitted passport and other documents to the VAC in Lekki Lagos via DHL and DHL confirmed that it has been delivered since July 13, 2023 but I have not received any confirmation email or tracking number on the status of my passport submission since July 13, 2023. I have sent email to the vfs helpline with no response. I also tried using the tracking number on the bill metrics EICR receipt sent to my email after biometrics but no record found. I sent email to Nairobi immigrations, Nairobi document email and no response too. I paid for the return courier as instructed on the vfs page and put the evidence of payment with the return address in the envelop sent, no delivery or email yet since July 13, 2023 that DHL confirmed that it was delivered.

Please, what can I do!
I am in same boat. No Visa ID tracking number sent. chatted with one chiamaka, complete waste of time.

@Bobo2 how did you resolve this problem? I have a similar situation, submitted passports for family of four in person at Lagos. 3 passports are ready for collection, mine is still saying it has been forwarded to the Canada office since 12th of July 2023

Anyone with similar experience for family submission can also help.

I am concerned about my passport and I am at my wit ends

I have chatted with VFS but chimaka was not helpful and I have sent webform to ircc no response too. I have sent emails to both vfs and ircc no response

And I need the passport for other processes

That chiamaka, na real werey. never able to answer any question. very rude too

Thank you

you should try and contact the courier company you sent your package through , VFS might have returned your package back to the courier company because of missing documentation without even informing you. That was my case,that happened to me last month. VFS returned my package for incomplete documentation . DHL later called me and told me about it , 2 days before my submission deadline. I picked up my package from their lekki office , I had to (1) add the biometric letter to my package , and (2)my print out payment receipt of transmission fee, also adding (3)the letter VFS wrote me that was added inside my package they returned. of course add your contact information, I wrote and printed mine on a paper. Then I went back to DHL and sent to VFS, my resending date had already passed my submission deadline . But mind you my first submission met the deadline , this is the reason you MUST attach the letter they wrote you ..(I e if your case is as mine) . The good news is , I got back my passport stamped and received yesterday ! Thanks to those in this forum that supported me. Especially @emmafe Good luck !
Huge relief! Thanks mate
I guess I will just wait for the call then.
My package was just delivered on Monday. So I will give it this week and probably call FedEx next Monday to see if it has been returned.

I just didn’t know the requirement for in person submission is diff from courier submission ( biometric letter/yellow biometric slip ) which I didn’t Include in my courier package.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by dkgetmuny: 9:43pm On Jul 18, 2023
My people I asked this question earlier but got no response. Make una epp me i beg. Has anyone here couriered their passport without the yellow slip or biometric letter? what should i expected? Passport returned with no stamp or it doesn't matter, they will stamp it either ways?

Just trying to prepare my mind.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by dkgetmuny: 2:53pm On Jul 18, 2023
Hello friends, I sent my passport, consent letter, passport data page, old passport bio data page since i got a new passport due to marriage. PPR letter. I did not add the Biometric letter nor did i write my name or email on the photocopy of my passport bio data page. My package was delivered yesterday to the lagos VFS office .

Question is- should I send another mail with the Biometric letter and my contact info? Or from peoples experience here the missing item ( Biometric Letter) is not a big deal? Will they get in touch with me to supply the missing document ?

I guess i am just worried I might exceed the 30 days passport submittal window given to me with all these back and forth.

Do you add your Biometrics Validity letter (BVL)? It usually sent just before the PPR.
I sent passport, consent letter, passport data page, old passport bio data page since i got a new passport due to marriage. PPR letter.
i am so confused now as to if i submitted all the required documents or not. I summited Friday. Fedex says - Arrived Transit Station today

Hello Friends, I shared my situation before but here is an update and some questions.
June 30th, I was asked to submit my passport in 30 days- I had to Fedex it yesterday because they didnt have any date open for me go submit in person. My question here is what next after submitting via Fedex? Also how long between when i sent my passport to when i get it back? Will they message me to come pick it up myself?


Side Note- how many years Visa does Canada issue for visiting ? My new passport expirers in 10 years lol...I had to go get a new one because the old one i had would expire in 2024.
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by dkgetmuny: 12:47pm On Jun 27, 2022
VISA ALERT! (For my wife)

First Application- March 20th, 2022 (Denied)
Reason-We were very arrogant about the application thinking just showing them a bank statement with millions of naira was enough. my wife stated she was the sponsor of the trip and presented a bank statement of about 8m without any explanation (Most of the payments were from me grin). She also didn't present the account her salary was paid into. So VO stated that the reason for denial was my wife making 360k doesn't correlate with over 8m found in her account.

Second Application- April 30th (Approved)
Biometrics- May 5
"Ipadabo Abija"
This one was very water tight with documentation and evidence.
This time she presented me as the sponsor
presented her salary account-2m, our joint Nigerian account-3m, her other Nigerian account-11m and My US bank account.
she drew up an excel spreadsheet explaining every inflow and outflow over 100k.
she attached my US Passport, My Sons US Passport, My letter of employment and my payslip.
she attached letter of introduction from her employee, payslip, promotion letter, wedding pictures, marriage certificate, Hotel reservation.
I wrote a cover letter stating i will be sponsoring the trip and she will be going with my son who is a US citizen and doesn't need a visa, I also stated i will join them there from the US.
She wrote a cover letter apologizing for the oversight in the last application and agreed that she should have broken down how she got 8m in her account. she then went on to state the source of money (From me, side business and allowance from work).


In all I believe too much information is never a disadvantage and the more information you provide the easier your chances will be.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Congrats to everyone on here who got their Visas. To those who are expectant do not give up, hang in there and learn from the experience of the successful ones. I used this thread about 8 years ago and got my Visa approved. Fast forward, I work with a fortune 20 company and enlisted in the military. Not saying all these to brag but to encourage everyone on here. keep your eye on the price, come in with a plan and stay out of trouble when you get here.

Good luck fellas
