Till today I’m waiting for them

Same timeline for me too.... I called today, was told passport is still at the Embassy.

Good day everyone.

Having gone through this thread, I seem to notice that applicants with siblings in Canada do get rejected.

For me, my sister is a citizen of Canada. She’s going to be my main sponsor while my brother in the UK will be my second sponsor.

For ties back in Nigeria, I have my parent and two other siblings in Nigeria, my parents and my brothers have landed properties in Nigeria. I can get a letter of study leave from my company where I’ve been working for almost 3 years now.

Please do I run a risk of being rejected due to family ties in Canada and Nigeria?

I have a sibling who is Canadian citizen and I got approved. I don’t really know what they take into consideration when denying pple who have family ties abroad.

I’ll advise you give it a shot, you may be approved as well.

Best of luck

Thanks Ikechuqu,

Registration for the first semester will start by Sept 2021 but they said the first semester tuition fees must be paid by 04th Jan 2021. I wish to pay a part of the fee now before Jan 2021 and pay the balance before the Sept 2021. Is this possible?

Are you confirming that they accept this type of part payment? Please shed more light on this and on how you went about the part payment in your own case.

Thanks

What I mean is that you can in parts but have to complete the total amount for the tuition payment by the Jan 4th deadline.

I’ve attached a screenshot of the reply I got when I had a similar situation.

Muslimity:
Bros and other Gurus,

I secured a Fall 2021 admission at Algonquin College for my son, and the school said in the acceptance letter that we should pay 9,500 CAD for first semester tuition fees before 4th Jan 2021. Though I have the money but I dont want to pay all of that amount now as another unexpected expenditure makes that impossible in the immediate.

I have sent an email to the school asking about possibility of paying half of that money as tuition deposit but no reply yet from the college.

Can someone here who has gone through Algonquin college please enlighten me on whether the college has tuition deposit service and allows prospective international student to pay tuition deposit or not?

Thank you as I await your kind response.

Hi, I applied to Algonquin as well.

I had a similar situation when I applied first time in 2018 where I could not pay the first semester fees an had to forfeit the admission. You can pay part but have to complete the payment before the deadline or the admission will be forfeited.

I’ll advise you to make the payment if you can otherwise move the admission to winter 2022 and hopefully they’ll give a longer deadline.

Best of luck

Blavkmaann:
You people should wait and this flight booking

Wait fess

I sent my passport 3 Thursday’s ago, it was received last Monday.... this is Friday of the second week, noting on my IRCC page, no LoI, no the other one......

Thing is, “I have an America Visa affixes to my old passport, the I have a new one, so I sent the two” hope there is no problem

Coz the PPL says after 30 days they will refuse it...... those that have received from Lagos VFS please how long did it take, coz my I won’t call, on Monday I’ll go and show those people I’m a Warri boy......

I’m thinking “ what if they dinor send the passport”

I Laff in pidgin

For some reason I think we might have met at the DHL cos I also submitted three Thursdays ago.... Did you have to make an additional copy of your consent form at the DHL office that day? Tryna to figure out if you’re the one I met that day

MOKENN:
Please who has been able to check for flights.

Which low cost flights are available please?

Use Wakanow, saw Ethiopian for around 290k to Toronto today(1 stop) .... fares depend on your destination and date of travel though

Anony113x:
your counterfoil hasn't changed either

Nope

Anony113x:
I submitted my passport 3 weeks ago at vfs Lagos and my ircc portal hasn't even changed to approved...what could be going on

Relax, it’s settled already. We’ll get ours soon

Honney85:

First of all , VFS don confuse me oo

- The above mail what does it mean & what's the next step to take seeing such mail

- Something is baffling me here

Why the mention of Abuja, when its Lagos VFS I sent my Documents to, & same Lagos VFS I did my BIOMETRICS

Have you checked using your tracking on the VFS global platform to see what comes up?

Obanidavid:
my passport was received at the Lagos VFS office on Oct 30th, got the last message on Monday Nov 16 that is was still being processed and finally received an email from IRCC yesterday telling me I have a message waiting for me.

To the glory of God, when I checked, it was my LOI.

Congratulations

MOKENN:
Yes o. But how do I recover my N12,570 from VFS ?

Perhaps you can contact them for a refund since the service was not rendered.

MOKENN:
I want to confirm to us that VFS Lagos is honouring return envelopes. I just got an update from DHL that they've picked up my parcel for delivery. I am expecting it before the end of tomorrow.

Wait is almost over for you

Kunnmi:
worry yourself less.

the visa officer at the border may issue you a work permit for co op or when you get to school, a semester before the co op you will apply with assistance from school

Thanks Kunmmi

JustMellow:
Hello Ikechuqu,

VFS are only a conduit in which IRCC receives your PP, they don't keep your PP. You just have to be patient. The PP everybody is tensed about will surely be returned.

VFS can only give updates on PP status if they have it. You have stayed tensed throughout the application processsing period, maybe you should try to keep calm at this final stage.

All the best

Thanks so much! Alas after multiple mails and calls, I’ve gotten a tracking ID. Honestly, it’s the silence that was deafening. I’ll stay calm from here on

ericksen:
This study permit will not give someone high BP o. Anyways, I have resulted that henceforth I will only be checking my profile Once a week.
When they are ready they should let me know biko.

Las las you go still check am like 10times before the end of this week

Dampops:
For those that recently submitted passports to VFS Lagos and haven’t received any notification from them ...did you include your biometric slip in the package you sent to them? Not BVL o...the slip you got when you did your biometric...

If you didn’t, it’s either you pay the N7,430 biometric transmission fee (and scan the evidence to them via email) or you scan and send the biometric slip to them via email..

Hope this helps...

Heard they won’t work on your passport and will try to contact you...(which they may not do promptly)

I’m pretty sure I have all of the requested docs sent to them... I even asked if I can get my passport back from them if they’ve not processed till now, got the same “we’ll get back to you sir”

Anon123:
As you were applying for VISA, did you indicate your course has a co-op?

Yes, I indicated that in my SOP.

fratermathy:
Have you tried calling them?

I’ve called several times over the last few days and it’s like they’re reading the same script every time .... “we’ll get back to you by the end of today sir” Then nothing, I don’t get any information from them

ik123:
Bros we are in the same shoe oh!!!! It's 12days now still counting that my passport was received by Mr. Festus in VFS LAGOS. I am yet to hear anything from them. They are not even responding specifically to my email to acknowledge receipt of my passport. Getting them on phone is a herculean task. They just kept me in the dark.

This lagos VFS want to make us feel like we’re going crazy or something

Tenianu:
VFS abuja received passport 2nd Nov,i did not get any email or update.or tracking ID.....called severally and was given the tracking ID via phone.I submitted with Prepaid 2 way courier from UPS.... as at wednesday 11th, Counterfoil was updated on GC account,Letter of Introduction was updated next day Thursday. By thursday..VFS sent the passport back via UPS using my prepaid envelope....no communication.... VFS Abuja seems to be working quietly and efficiently.

This is to give update to those not receiving any feedback. Hope this helps

The lucky ones... congratulations ��

Meanwhile, is it possible to get ones passport back from VFS Lagos if it’s not been processed to IRCC? So I can send it to a different location. Since they’ve refused to give me any information whatsoever as regarding what’s happening with my passport.... This is day 10, no tracking ID, no feedback, nothing!

Ikechuqu:
Good morning people!

Quick question?

Going for co-op program, is one required to apply for work permit alongside their study permit?
because I think I might have missed it cos I applied for study permit only.

Please any info would be appreciated.

I’ve sent mails severally, followed by calls.

wendynuel:
Hello,

I would advise you send an email to the following email addresses with your full name as it written on your international passport and the date DHL confirmed it was delivered to them. You can also attach DHL acknowledgement slip + a screenshot of DHL confirmation of delivery.

feedback.cannig@vfshelpline.com, info.cannig@vfshelpline.com

Hope this helps

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.
