You will receive notification by SMS from VFS Global when your passport has been returned back to VFS by IRCC and ready for pickup.

You can also track the progress of your passport online through the webpage of the courier you used to send the passport to VFS. What you would only notice on your GC Key is a counterfoil which indicates that your passport has been stamped.

Congrats.

Thank you very well. Exactly what I wanted to know

Goodmorning all..

Please will there be any notification on my gckey account to know if my passport will be returned soon??

[Long Post Alert !! !!! !

I started this Canada journey in the year 2019. I wrote two IELTS exams for express entry . I had moderate scores but because am single,I couldn’t meet up with the cut off . I tried a whole lots of provincial nomination programs ( Prince Edward Island PNP, Manitoba PNP, and was waiting tirelessly for the Nova Scotia PNP ( International stream) yet no result

I immediately switched to the student route . So I left the Nairaland express entry thread and joined the Nairaland student visa thread from thread 16 till date .

I applied to two universities. University of Windsor ( Masters of Accounting and Finance ) and university of New Brunswick (MBA). I got admission in both but decided to go for UNB because of a whole lots of reasons and for the fact I can easily become a CPA without doing masters in accounting .

I must confess you guys at Nairaland answering people’s questions are the best gift to Nigeria students . You made the whole thing possible . Folks like osemighon, frankrobben,justwellow,lekiboboe and a whole lots of others. U guys practically made it possible.

Hint : What I did differently —-it might help

I guess It’s all about the SOP. I submitted 10pages of that . My SOP was written like an LOE. I read through all parts of Nairaland and use all various forms of application refusal as my headings in my SOP. So what I did was to explain my situation to avoid that aspect of rejection and I gave a whole lots of reasonable reasons . I made sure I referenced all the documents above in my SOP

NB: I have not travelled before , still single , last born, siblings travels frequently and just came back cause of corona virus . I presented a sympathetic scenario of my social and family lives and the need to return to them ASAP

I also used my work email ID to apply ( if applicable to you ).I tried to use that as a form of employment ties

I am self sponsored ,salary balance was very low but I still submitted it but in my SOP I emphasized more on my personal savings account , and how I generated the money and drew up a table of all my tuition fees , how I will pay sch fees , ticket , miscellaneous and others and still remaining something in the account . I try to make the finance side as clear as possible . I leased out a property. I explore on the how lands appreciate , the location of the property and how this will offset any student expenses I might have incurred in the future .

I used grammarly. It will correct all grammatical blunders . It will aid your write up in general . I also included a whole lots of activities stuffs ; recommendation from work place , mosques,charity and from my part time jobs. Westerners loves volunteering jobs . I tried to key into that .

I made sure I explain the correlation between my first degree , my current job( an accountant) and proposed course of study . I explained how it will enhance my managerial skills in the future . I briefly explain some of the course contents not taught in nigeria and how these knowledge will help me at work when I return back . I emphasized more on returning back to help the country and my job. Also how MBAs are well paid in Nigeria. I used a mentor here in Nigeria . Mine was Akinwunmi Ambode

It’s a very long SOP but I tried my possible best to lure the reader into reading further with adequate paragraphs, good topic sentence ,factual evidence and reasonable statements explanation of my situation

The ultimate rejection or acceptance of an application is with the VO but I hope this helps.


Landing gist remaining by his grace

All the best to everybody here !!!!

Wow!!! Congratulations.. your passport came back so early. Please did you send it to Abuja or Lagos?

Winner0718:
I will suggest you contact the VFS office where you sent your passport.

Ok. I will do
Just that.

Winner0718:
It simply means Bienvenue au Canada.
Congratulation once again, have you gotten your passport back from VFS yet?

Ooh. Thank you. But I haven’t gotten my passport back from them that’s the issue. My passport is with them and they are still sending request to submit passport

Goodmorning my people

Please as you all remember, I got my Bvl and ppr 2days before I got medical request. I submitted my passport 15th of January,2021. Did my medical exam on 19th and changed to passed on 25th of January. This morning I got another bvl and ppr on my gckey account and the final decision changed to approved. Please what does this mean

mankind5050:
Got delayed too yesterday based on purpose of study.If I were delayed coz offinancial status. I will just pay full tuition and do a GIC of $10,000.
That should remove all though concerning finances

Sorry for the delay. Please reapply

deommanuel:
Thank God your medical Status has been updated. It caused you so much worry.

For your passport, you can get it back in a week or it could take a longer time. VFS Lagos is known to take so much time.

Since everything is moving just fine, you can exercise some patience while you await a response from them.

Cheers

Thank you

Debbyiiii:
Finally I just medical request

Yaay... you have book for an upfront Yh?

Goodmorning all,

I just checked my GCkey now and I noticed my medical status has been updated to ‘you passed the medical exam’ 26th January,2020. I did my medical exam on 19th January,2020 at Qlife.

Please I submitted my passport to Lagos embassy on the 15th of January (my ppr came two days before MR). How long do I have to wait to get my passport back please.

Thank you.

owolabia:

Alhamdulilah Robil Alamin
VISA APPROVED TODAY AFTER 1YEAR ➖ 30DAYS

MY TIMELINE LOADING

Wow!!!! Congrats... I was waiting foyoyr goodnews

OtunbaTee:
After reading this. I sighed a little and concluded that, there's no perfect application. Cos to be honest with you, my course: computer science n I graduated 2011, and I'm now going for global management course with a 2.2 , now tell me theres no God. All I believe is what God cant do doesn't exist.

Whenever u want to apply again..just hand it over to God and remind Him of His promises. What He cant do doesn't exist..
It will surely end in praise..

So sorry.. My application was nothing close to his ad God showed up... Like Otunba said, just hand everything to God to cancel every negativity on your application.

IboBoyNuel:
I did an upfront medical on the 21st of January and it was updated to pass on the 23rd of January. I thought it takes time?

Please what hospital did you use?

awys:
Hello Elizdee
I actually looked up this course on their website it's cool and dope very nice combo and hot cake being HR..In BTW I saw a clause in the requirements that applicants with a Master's degree [/b]in the same field or closely related [b]MUST NOT apply.Any reason why the school said that just curious you know!!!!.Does the course have a CO-OP options I thought being a 2years course there should be an opportunity for that I didn't see such information in the information section of the course

Well, I didn't notice that clause .

zinny20:
Please can someone recommend a college I can do Pgd in Human Resources for 2years, the ones am seeing is 1year,

And am confused about this one from college of New Caledonian is it post diploma or post graduate diploma some one help me please

I am going for a post graduate certificate in Human Resource and Business Management at Algoma University and I choose the two years program so as to get 3 years PGWP.

Rootiab:
Good morning everyone. Please what is AIP?

Hello, any update on your passport please?

Ajoke08:
Good morning everyone, got a refusal letter this morning. I applied late sept, nse request in November; submitted in Dec.. no medical request. 2 correspondence letter (Bvl) From Beijing and Nairobi.
Refusal letter this morning. I requested gcms note yesterday. Delay is not denial..

Sorry for the news.... delay is not denial....you will get it the next time.

Deohlarh20:
Have you gotten update on yours yet

I submitted mine few days before my medicals... I haven’t gotten any update for my medicals or passport.

I hope and pray there will be an update this week

Deohlarh20:
Anyways ,I feel they already made their final decision but when they noticed we didn't do upfront medicals or they haven't sent medicals that's why they went ahead to send medical request the next day .Yeah because we have already received BVL ,PPR and even AIP that we can go ahead and start online classes .It's just the medicals that remain.Thanks for your thought and as you said this is the first time this is happening ,so it's fine

Hi, please when did you submit your passport

Deohlarh20:
Well I did

Please have you submitted your passport?

milez7:
I did.....

Please when did you submit your passport and when did you do your medicals

Inestimable61:
Can one get medical request after getting BVL or it’s rejection immediately if one has not done medicals ?

Yea, it is possible. I got bvl, then Ppr , then Medical request.
