It’s been 41 days since I submitted my passport to IRCC. I don’t understand the reason for the delay. I’ve really lost a lot to this delay. |

jilenwere: Hello, Yes I am having similar issues. Submitted my passport on the 27th October 2022. I got vfs notification saying my processed passport has been sent to VAC Abuja office on the 17th November 2022 and till now it hasn’t been returned. Any update from anyone? Nothing yet. When I try to contact VFS Global they say it’s still in process. The painful part is I already bought a ticket for 1st of December also made a CAD250 deposit for accommodation. I did all this to avoid high festive season prices now I have to pay extra to reschedule my flight, I have started classes online since September that’s the reason for the rush. It’s hard having classes and assessments online considering network connectivity issues. I’ve really taken a lot of losses. I’m livid and I think they are being nonchalant with the whole situation. If everything went on along normal processing times I would be traveling today now all my proactive plans are for nothing. Just a waste of money. Who will cover all this losses ? Na me Bleep up sha. |

Good evening
How do I contact IRCC. I have sent my passport to IRCC through VFS Lagos. They say the embassy hasn’t returned my envelope. I sent my Passport the day after I got PPR 27th of October. VFS say they’ve not received my envelope since. The last update I received was that my envelope is in Abuja visa Application Center since the 17th of November nothing else since. It’s over 30day I sent webform the portal how do I contact IRCC please it’s really odd it’s taking so long.

Cheebu: There are a few of us in this boat. Submitted since 1st of November. I'm guessing it's the period we all submitted. Got the same email you got. VFS no do us well but it is well. Lol I was starting to wonder if they changed their mind. Good to know I’m not in this alone. Annoying thing is I already booked my flight to avoid high prices later in the year. Hopefully it comes in this week! |

Hi guys, Good morning!
I submitted my passport to IRCC via VFS Lagos since the 28 of October. The last update I got was that my processed passport has been received at the Abuja visa application OC on the 17th of November. Has anyone had this kind of delay in getting back their passport after PPR ?
Wish you all the best week ahead. |

Tghurl: Hi Olokings,
I'd like to know if you have any connection in the bank that can help reduce Form A processing time.
I also sent a mail request.
Thank you I paid my fees in November 2021. I used paper application for my Form A. It was out in less than a month. I think it’s different now sometimes it takes 6weeks depending on the bank. |

You need to travel before the medicals expire because if it does expire you will need to redo another and look for available date at IOM or Qlife Updated medicals done already on the 12th of October 2022. |

Thomsyne: Hi hi,
Congrats on your PPR. Could you kindly share the documents you submitted pls? Seems we have a number of people who are about to start their process. It'd be nice if they had some guidance.
Thanks and many cheers!!! 1. LOA 2. Full tuition payment for my program. It’s a one year PGD program. 3. GIC certificate of CAD10,000 4. CAC registration for my business 5. Sales/Purchase invoice for my business 6. NECO result 7. B.Sc Degree certificate 8.NYSC Certificate 9. Birth Certificate 10. NIN 11.Personal 4months bank statement. I didn’t use MBS I just scanned a statement from my bank. 12. Passport Data page 13. Upfront Medicals from my first application November last year. I did this on purpose because I wanted to know when they ask for updated medicals. 14. Police Clearance also a year old from my last application. 15. Dom Account statement showing I bought the GIC from my personal account. 16. One page SOP. Keep it simple and concise at least in my opinion. 17.Landed property in my name as home ties. Just the survey plan. This was my second application. I was refused on grounds of personal assets and financial status even though I had paid the complete school fees. But I had most of my funds for living expenses in a fixed deposit account in my name. I guess they don’t like fixed deposits as POF for living expenses. What I did differently for my second application. I liquidated my fixed deposit and bought GIC. Then put the balance in my personal account. I also explained the lump sums in my SOP. I prayed and asked God to help me. I think buying GIC and paying my full tuition was my silver lining they didn’t have any reason to say no. Thank you to everyone that has share information on here or answered my annoying questions. I couldn’t have done it without you guys. I will do my best to help others. |

yeldey: Please, did you eventually get a slot for medicals at Qlife? No. I’m not sure what’s wrong with their site there are never available slots on it. I even check in the mornings to see if it time dependent but nothing. I think you’d have better luck with IOM. |

MumTee: Use your existing IOM Oct 19th appointment mail to send a mail to iomlagosmedicalbooki@iom.int also attaching your IRCC Medical request letter to it and passionately appealing to them for an earlier date because of the short time frame you have. They give preference to people with Medical request letter. That was what i did and i was given an earlier date. Thank you I emailed them and they gave me a slot for October 12. I believe that can work for me. I also sent a webform to inform IRCC. I appreciate your input. |

I would suggest you go to IOM sooner than later with your medical request. I’m sure they will create a slot for you to an earlier date. Thank you I emailed them and they gave me a slot for October 12. I believe that can work for me. I also sent a webform to inform IRCC. |

Frankielilbaby: You could send them an email they can make an emergency slot for you or just visit their centre and explain to them they can give you a close date.

Good afternoon house,
I have a question.
June 13th application
I just got my medical request. The medicals I submitted was from November last year with my first application.
I couldn’t find a slot on Qlife. I will try again early tomorrow morning. I hope I get an earlier slot.
I have a booking on IOM for medicals on the 19th. I don’t know if that’s enough time. I have only 30days to submit.
I will appreciate any feedback. Thank you ! |

June 13th Applicant
Eligibility started since 10th August maybe before then.
I have started online classes and even wrote my first exam last week.
I’m a second time applicant so my medicals were still valid at the time of submission so I didn’t submit medicals.
Any other person in my shoes ? What could be the delay. It’s taking over a month to decide whether I meet requirements to be allowed enter to Canada. It’s really exhausting. |

I will book online medicals right away. It’s my second time applying so I just figured my medicals are still valid for a year. The results are from November. I will book again to avoid being caught out. We will testify very soon IJN ! I’m AkeemTy: same situation as you although I applied for a study permit on 7th June 2022. I will go do the upfront medicals on 3rd August 2022 so nothing disrupts my chances of resuming classes on the 6th September if eventually my study permit is approved. The school I applied to does not do deferrals and i must resume for the first day of classes. So timing is running out on me. I will suggest you book upfront medicals also within this week as spaces can run out fast. |

JustMellow: Thank you! I will wait till at least 2 weeks before resumption.
@JustMellow
Hello Gilb231,
Be patient for a finalization outcome. You can always defer before the commencement of your session if a decision is not reached by then. You can defer at least 2 weeks to class resumption to get an early response.
Success is all I wish You! |

Hello Nairalanders,
Please your input would be appreciated. I applied for fall term and my resumption date is September 6, 2022. I applied for my visa on June 13, 2022. Till now my eligibility has not started, would it be a good idea to defer my admission to winter term while I wait for IRCC to make a decision ? Or just wait it out, the 12 weeks processing time will probably be up by the end of the month or spill into September .
Thank you. |

I’m a second time applicant and I thought the process was somewhat shorter. I applied on June 13th 2022, no update on my application yet. School resumes on September 6th 2022.
Would it be a good idea to defer my admission till January to give time for my application process.
Or just wait it out ? |

francisxbee: Send everything. No use keeping it. But if you're sending a business account statement, you need to add sole signatory letter. It's a letter from the bank confirming you're the sole signatory to the business account and funds in it are available to you.
You can also add the cac certificate and that cac page that shows details of proprietor. Ok. Thank you ! |
