If he did his biometric for a different application, he’ll have to pay a transmission fee this time.

Hello

What class of Visa did your husband apply for and when did he submit his application?

Did he apply for a Visiting Visa? Does he already have family members in Canada?

Chikaima18:
I did a one way and paid the 11,300 for them to return to me. But several people here used two way UPS since thats what vfs uses for returning our passports back.

Please I have some questions regarding sowp if you don't mind. Sent you a PM. Thanks

Chikaima18:
I was told that if you don't have the slip you will need to pay the 7,000+ and thats what I did. I had no issues getting my passport back.

NairaLuck:

While Abuja is faster than Lagos, bare in mind that you may or may not get your passport this month. I am not sure when their holiday begins.
Take note, if you're not in a hurry to travel and this is your first Application and you did biometrics at Lagos then use it.
But if this is your second or third Application, use Abuja.
For services and speed, it's subjective, for me I trust UPS for some others it's DHL so to answer your question both of them are fast as they have same process

Lekiboboe:

You are Welcome

- The Package is to be sent via DHL or UPS

- To your second question, i don't have an answer to that,
I would suggest you await response from members in house who didn't have their Biometric Slip with them and were able to submit their passport for stamping and got it back.

- The Consent Form is a form in which your husband gonna fill some of his details on. You have to Print it, then fill the required fields in the second page only.

Hello Insanity,

... and anybody that did a 2-way courier and have their passport back.

Did you fill the VFS online consent form for passport return?

I did a 2-way delivery and got email to fill the consent form. Will my passport still be returned without me filling and sending back their consent form?

Akannitommy:
Do 2-way courier. That's my own advice so you don't pay 12,000 for the same thing you can pay 2,000 for. It can be painful!

Temas:

I applied for a visit visa for my older son, it was rejected that we should apply for a study permit with medicals.
I intend to submit that tomorrow.
In between, I am a pharmacist and I have started the processes of my Canada Pharmacists registration. The documents were also attached.
Thank you all.

How it all began:
My wife was issued Study Permit in Nigeria on 30/10/2018 with my two years old son. I applied for a visit visa on 31/10/2018 To accompany them and give them all necessary support to settle down. We fixed our proposed journey for the 8/12/2018. The visit visa didn't come. I sent car to London, Lagos will reply. Active review and active processes. When I discovered that it won't come, I accompany them all the same to Istanbul, they proceeded to Canada, I proceeded to New York. While in New York, I applied for SOWP because I already have an outstanding visit visa pending and might be refused for purpose of visit since they left Nigeria as planned. Before I left Nigeria, I sent an email to Canada Visa office if I can apply for SOWP, They gave the go ahead and even sent the VAC office address in New York. I applied immediately. I printed form 1-94 they confirmed my status in the USA and attached it. I am dropping my Passport in the VAC office Moro. I think the Nigeria situations made visa issuance difficult. I have learnt a lot in this journey. To God be the glory. I am writing thing on a phone , Pls pardon any mistakes and lets all use our strategies to achieve our Canada dreams. My Canada dream started this year.
Thanks to all the fora of Nairaland. I researched a lot.

Coast2Coast:
Thanks. I did. Since it was US, I only added my GTBANK Visa dollar account so that they can understand it. It has closing balance of $3000.00.

Thanks to all the fora of Nairaland. I researched a lot.
I also researched from other international fora. Then I realised that as a Nigerian you can apply for Study permit from USA. But you will need to supply verifiable websites to verify your documents. Like CAC and FIRS website which I did. All the best guys. It's possible

LekwachiJJ:
Hello everyone..Pls pardon my long post. Finally my visa came out today after I submitted my passport on 18th September. I want to give the glory to God and thank everyone here especially those make very insightful contribution, the type that gingerred me to take some steps.

Mine is a strange one. Applied on 11th May. Biometrics on 23rd May. Medicals on 23rd August. Passport request on 18th September. And then everything came to a stand still for over 2 months. Within this period I submitted over 7 CSE webforms and wrote over 10 emails to Lagos VO but got maybe 2 responses. Meanwhile my online status remained at a confusing situation: eligibility review ongoing, meds passed, background check ongoing but application approved and passport requested. By October 18th I received a mail asking me to send in updated bank statement in a new format: bank statement request ticket plus password. My bank had not implemented this new format and so gabe me a cover letter to add to the normal statement. And then nothing again.

My last webform was responded to with the story that my application was in London. I wrote London last week and complained about the restriction of my movement for other personal and business travels outside of Canada with the continued with holding of my passport. London responded that my application has been approved since September and that they are aware my passport was dropped at VFS, can I go to VFS for "printing of your visa". So confusing! VFS does not print visas. Even then my many visits there revealed thar my passport was at the embassy.

Finally yesterday morning as I was driving to Anifowose instead of VFS as directed I got a call to attend an interview this morning. I was there by 6 am and by 8.30 I sat in front of an officer who told me my bank statements were not clear or legible. This is bery untrue as I scanned them myself. After barely looking through the updated statements I brought he asked me to wait for 10 minutes and in exactly 10 minutes my passport came out with my visa!

I applied to study MA Communication in UOttawa. My first degree ia in Pol Science, over 27 years ago. I had an MBA since 2001 and am a very mature appliacant. My SOI stated that after working in communication for over 2 decades I needed to retire to academics by studying in Canada and merging my long practical experience with serious academic scholarship for the benefit of my future students.

Document attached:
1. Acceptance letter and Statement of Intent
2. Dom account statement with over 100kUSD
3. TD acount statement with 40kCAD
4. Letter of employment, payslips
5. Travel history to Canada, US, UK, SA, etc
6. Scanned passport data page ( passport valid till 1st June 2019. So while waiting I applied for renewal and added the new passport via webform and email).

I did not add any property or evidence of family ties beyond what I filled in the family information form. Just the above.

Bottom line while waiting, I prayed and fasted like never before especially after I was told my application was in London.

My admission was deferred to Winter with the kind understanding of my faculty and I will be travelling by God's grace before new year. My testimony I did not lose faith in the power of God despite the odds against me as shown in many of the tesimonies and feedback in this forum especially about long gap from last degree

I pray everyone here will have a good story to tell and bery very soon in Jesus name. Amen.

Determinedsoul:

The sources of fund for your 2yrsprogram u stated, was it in your SOP u stated that?

How did you provide a detail analysis of your fund on excel b4 transfer to msword?

Can one tick yes in his CIC form that he has written ielts even though it has expired?


Hello @determinedsoul,

I stated major funds in my SOP and other funds were stated in my document uploaded under ''proof of means of financial support section'' ... for instance I said, [/b]''to fund my MBA program for 2 years i have X, Y, Z sources of funds. Also, see more sources of funds in my ''proof of means of financial support section'' for your consideration.[b]

Still on that excel sheet, I stated the required source of funds in a tabular form. ( Funds based on the expectation from CIC for study per myself and each family member). ( including tuition and living expenses for two years)

Then underneath I stated my own source of funds for year 1 (which was available in my bank statement) and prospective source of funds for year 2. for myself and family)

I also concluded by stating my total funds' position underneath the excel sheet.

After doing this then I copied all from excel and pasted it on word doc ( to the proof of means of financial support) and put the relevant headings.

Doin this sort of simplifies the work for the VO. So he/she does not have to figure our things with so much effort.

[/b]No, if your IELTS has expired then you can't use it or state it.[b] Better still do another IELTS.


I hope this helps.

goingforward.
