Morning House,
please does that submitted passport to Abuja vfs should give feedback, let's know which office is more reliable whether lagos or Abuja.... because some of us in Lagos are considering sending passport to Abuja should incase they offer reliability.

Any office is better than Lagos. If you can wait for 3 weeks to1 month or more and without proper updates, then you can send to Lagos. If not, use Abuja or send to Accra or Niamey.

Kimkalash:
Just got my ghost update too. Let IRCC be mad with all of us today

It's not a ghost update. It's a backend server downtime. Whenever there's a downtime, you won't be able to view the application page and when you refresh the status page, you'll see a message that your application status has changed. Once the server comes back up, the message will be cleared.

A ghost update is when you see a message that your application status has changed and you are actually able to view the application page. Ghost updates are seldom general. It'll happen to just your account.

My bet is that almost everyone cannot access their accounts at this current moment and they'll get that message too.

LordAA:


I've sent you a message. Please delete your number.
It's not advisable to drop your number on a public forum.

You should also edit the number from your mention.

Florida has always been a place of weird news. Entertain yourself and search "Florida man" on Google News. This doesn't surprise me a bit. Weirder things have happened in Florida.

WHO IS GOING TO QUEBEC?


venez nous faire savoir!!

Merci!!

Hello Quebecer...

When are you travelling?

1oak:
Thanks for the reply. Please how do I generate Mybankstatement from Ecobank and Zenith bank in my area don’t seem to know what it is when I walked in. Please is there a particular way to generate Mybankstatement?

If you have an online banking account, you can generate it from there. For Zenith Bank, you can even generate it from your mobile application.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been following this thread for a bit.

I had PPR last week Tuesday and sent my passport to VFS lagos on Thursday which got delivered on Friday but till now, I don’t know if it’s been processed or not. I’ve called almost everyday of the week and they keep saying they’ll send my tracking number by “end of day”. Honestly, it’s just annoying how they operate in Lagos.

This is the point I made in my earlier post. Lagos VFS is highly INCOMPETENT! They don't seem to understand that they're dealing with people's official travelling documents. The tracking system they have is inefficient. They are slow to act. They don't even have good customer care services. The plain truth is that if your passport is already there, just remove your mind and hope for the best. If not, consider your options well before sending your passport there. That's the worst VAC in the world, as far as I know.

Obanidavid:


Thank you sir, I am so glad with this response. This really sweet my belly.

When do you plan on travelling? Have you gotten your letter of introduction?

frailbuzz:


I am glad I could help.

Safe travels whenever you decide to move.

I am female.

Didn't they disturb you at the layover locations? I know that Ethiopian Airways has a layover at Addis Ababa and Turklish Airlines has one at Istanbul. Won't they ask for a covid-19 test at those airports?

Dudun007:


is mid Dec too far?

I don't know how long it would take but many of those who sent their passports to Lagos VFS are yet to get them back. No one knows how Lagos VFS works these days. If you expect to travel mid-December then you may comfortably use Lagos VFS.

Dudun007:
I got a Passport Request too, please connect with me on my gmail account (anicalculus@gmail.com) on how to successful sent my passport to the IRCC and to get it back.

If I were you, I'd send my passport to Abuja VFS or Niamey VFS (Niger). Preferably Niamey VFS or Yaounde VFS. You may even prioritize Accra VFS over Lagos. That is if you have the extra money to spend on transmission fees and courier charges. It may be worth the hassle if you want to get your passport back soon. Lagos VFS should be a last resort except you are not in a hurry to travel.

UBCcookies:
Same day with mine and I just checked UPS, is in transit. Yayyyyy

Have you received the letter of introduction on your account?

Japh11:

I submitted to Abuja

It appears Abuja works faster than Lagos VFS.

Eastlink:
This one Frathermathy decided to use his real moniker today? May God be praised. I was beginning to think you've retired from nairaland. Hope you won't go and erect your monikers where you used to quoting and requoting yourself on Igbo matter. But the topic of today is impressive.

Aditkd:
My dear, it also happened to me. My DSSC number was given to some dude from Benue, I found the number at a Abuja center.
For me, I have lamented and knowing the country am from is just to dust myself and move on, will try again next year. Your friend isn't the only one we are many this Army dudes" scammed"

I never knew that the army can do this in such an obvious manner. This is too bad. Just too bad. You shouldn't rest o. If you can post yours too, or even just the registration number and who it was reassigned to, we can get the conversation moving. We shouldn't sit and allow these deeply corrupt persons to ruin everything because they think we won't call them out.

I came across a post on Facebook where a friend claimed that the army swapped his name for another person's name even though the registration number is his own. I don't have any reason to think that this person is lying and I actually want Nairalanders to make this issue trend so that the anomaly can be corrected. Nigeria is for everybody and not only for the rich, connected, or those from specific ethnic groups. Please help my friend share this post on twitter, Facebook, and any other platform. Things like this shouldn't be happening in a sane country.

Boss, from the above explanation . It seems. Duolingo English test will be accepted..

Am I right?. I have Duolingo result.

I doubt. They were specific on IELTS. I don't think they'll even accept TOEFL.

1oak:

Thank you, but I didn’t ask for any student express, why do you see the need to opt for normal processing ?
How do I get the Mybankstatement ticket ? Is there a need to add more money to the account like 2-3m ?

It's obvious you didn't ask for it. I didn't even know it has started until you shared this message. If you don't have the money and time to write the IELTS exam, my suggestion is that you should opt for normal processing (note that they may have a minimum band score).

You can generate the MyBankStatement from your online banking account or by visiting a branch. You'll get a print out that you can attach to your application. I'd strongly caution against sudden additional deposits. Don't complicate things.

1oak:
Good morning all, please I need help on how to go about this, I saw this on my portal this morning, although I have a waiver for IELTS, how do I go about the Mybankstatement stuff, I submitted 4 months account statements from two banks (personal and business account) . SP application is for a 4 years bsc program. Thank you.

They've started Nigeria Student Express? That's interesting. Based on what is here, you have to generate a MyBankStatement ticket with proof of finance for one year and then enroll for IELTS. However, as this is a choice, you could opt for normal processing.

So fast?

This appointment is performative and it's sending a strong message that he is the President-elect whether Trump likes it or not.

Good that he's speaking up. Silence can be dangerous in matters like this.

BlegendE:

Start making plans to submit your passport ASAP so that once the PPR comes, you'll just print it and mail your package within hours. It appears that even those who submitted two weeks ago are yet to get feedback. The earlier you submit your passport, the better for you, especially as you'd have to wait for over two weeks to get feedback.

Bosede24:
Akintommy thanks for the info, I really appreciate
But the schools I want doesn't necessarily need supervisor before applying. Thanks a bunch ,I just hope everything works out before the deadline. I'm also thinking of doing another Masters if the transcripts are not ready by then...what do you think? do I have chance?

That's not a good idea.

This is animal cruelty. How can you force such a big horse into a small tricycle? Don't they have pickups or other large vehicles that they can use? This is why education is important. No educated mind, even if it is at JSS3 level, will think of something like this.

That was interesting to watch. I hope he takes that fierceness to the white house.

UBCcookies:
Please is there any way one can confirm from vfs if they received the passport sent. Although, I tracked it on the courier website and it says delivered. Thanks

You'll receive an email from VFS Global with a tracking ID. Just be patient till Monday for that.

Is the Covid-19 situation in Nigeria bad enough to warrant this?

TimAke:
Just received my passport back with the visa. Still feels surreal

Have you received your Letter of Introduction yet?

In essence, your visa stamping took 2 weeks?
