CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Dora14:
My passport just landed ohhh
UPS just delivered
Hallelujah!!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD

VFS is mad. Your passport is def not ready for collection. IRCC cant send it back without a final decision update

Ikechuqu:


The depression is serious.

VFS is saying my passport is ready for collection, no updates on my IRCC for counterfoil or LOI. So I just confuse as I dey so

I am in the same shoes as you but probably the reason I m not yet frustrated is because getting an update yesterday diluted my three-week depression and I dey store d joy for freezer. My flight is also scheduled for next week. Infact, I paid for return courier upfront yesterday immediately I got counterfoil and LOI. I will keep calling. The worst has passed.

rebecausoro:


I am really trying to calm down but I stand to part with money that I don't have if I reschedule my flight. There are also other factors I'm considering and I really need them to act fast. These things shouldn't be difficult. In the VFS of other countries, people get their passports back efficiently and on time. My passport shouldn't stay in their office beyond a day, as long as I have paid for return courier.

Mummy calm down

rebecausoro:


A private company meant to efficiently handle passports is now the cause of mental torture because they can't get things right. How hard is it to efficiently dispatch passports via private courier on a daily basis? They can't even be reached and they hardly reply emails. For my passport again o! Something I paid them for. I just hope they don't force me to take this fight to social media.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eilenora:
Just received counterfoil guys.

I largely doubt those of us who got counterfoil and LOI yesterday can get back our passports early next week. What do you guys think?

Dee4Doyinsola:
Oh okay. I hope mine comes soon as well.

We that got C.F and L.O.I two days ago and got no fourth mail but intend to travel mid next week, what should we expect ooo

I dont know if it's LOI o but a correspondence letter has dropped and i got two mails from do not reply. Nothing from VFS.

I just got counterfoil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My phone too just broke so guys i ll reach out soonest. On my way to Ikeja to get it repaired

You didn't get your accommodation and single room for the one in McPherson college?800 is too huge compared to what I was told.

rebecausoro:


Basically, you pay for an on-campus residence for the quarantine period and then fill the online form before arrival. I paid for a one month lease of $800. That lease starts on the 5th but with this VFS wahala, I can only bite my lips at this point.

It did this evening but we got no messages from VFS or IRCC and couldn't even check full app details so we ll just wait till tomorrow. Rollercoaster balancing.

@Fratermathy, @Justmellow, @Frankrobbn1 and other gurus. Thank you always for the great deal of work, contribution and guide you are always giving in this forum. Your generations to come will always enjoy the faithfulness of God almighty.

Please I wanted to ask questions, I was having a conversation with a friend that got his visa approved . Kindly put me through.

1. Please if one is approved now for graduate studies and has deffered till fall 2021, how early and how soon can one travel to Canada but resumption is still September 2021(orientation starts August 10th and classes starts September 9th?

2. Also what is the earliest time of travel that one can get his SIN?

3. If one has funding that will be approved, in may/June but needs ones physical presence in Canada before one can be credited for fall 2021, how soon can one travel to Canada?

Thank you as I anticipate kind clarifications from great contributors here because I have assured my friend of sure answer to my questions because of the wealth of knowledge here.

Once again, thank you


God bless you all

Check your IRCC account if your application status has changed to "approved".

These people are just utilizing different dimensions. For the first time since I applied, I saw "approved" under my application status but cant check the full info. Tomorrow will unravel a lot

Eilenora:
submitted my passport already; got 4th email from vfs earlier this morning.

Thanks bro. Really hope this ends in praise. Hoping the best comes ooo. All the best guys

fratermathy:


Everything will be sorted out between now and tomorrow. Congratulations.

Back to Application profile updated but that was some respite

Yes ooooooo but i ve not been able to see full details. Bad gateway oooo

Check your IRCC account if your application status has changed to "approved".

My own na even 1105 (got my id on the fifth). E just be like say na only me dey. IRCC be chopping off my self esteem

Ikechuqu:
After calling virtually every second I finally got thru to the VFS contact center... Spoke with a Raymond( the guy sef don sabi me well) He said passports submitted to the embassy with tracking ID 20201112CAL.... are still at the Embassy and have not been processed.

Guess that explains why I’ve not received LOI or counterfoil on my IRCC portal because when I check the VFS tracker, it says passport has been processed and dispatched from embsssy to CVAC.

Raised webform last week, no reply till now.

Just say make I update una wey don dey try reach them too.

Honestly, I’m tired of stressing.

They themselves gave us 30 days to submit. It's been 27 days and not even a hint of passport processing. People with whom we submitted have already paid for passport return. Why are they shoving our passports away when they themselves asked for it? Why squash our plans Why are they so bent on frustrating us? They re so so so trying our patience. Are they the only immigration agency in this world? These people keep spewing their unprofessionalism with their erratic operations and stupid random treatment of applications. Total nonsense!!!

jdoe28015:
Same issue with my friend. Looks like some of the passports have been pushed behind or something. He already sent an email to the high commission too but no response. Now, I’m worried.

Submitted since 3rd o. No fourth email. These people are fuckers!

Eilenora:
4th email just this morning. Submitted previous friday via dhl to Abuja, it arrived there last week Monday so today makes it a week since I submitted. I paid for 2 way courier with DHL; with recent trends, does it mean I will still have to pay for VFS's courier service?

When did you get the 4th email? When did you submit?

Eilenora:
Hello All,

Please for those that have gotten their passports back, can you kindly advise on what to expect after the 4th msg from VFS (.....has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office).

Gratias

Try travel wings. That was the agent I used

BCkeys:
Please people that booked Ethiopian airline did you book directly from the airline or used an agent. Please help

Yes i know. My passport is also at V.I.

Kakokako:


The passports were to the Canadian office at Anifowose, not Vfs @Lekki

700 passports to Lagos office? Chai!! Could this be the reason for them npt processing ours for 24 days

Kakokako:


A reliable source told me they brought in over 700 passports in the last few days. Their Lagos office may be the one responsible for slowing down the approval process. I understand this because it's not possible for Nairobi to be sending in a passport or 2 to Nigeria each time

Thank you so so much for this. Thanks for the disclaimer too. For those of us that submitted on the 3rd and have been getting our passports skipped while our fellow wonderful applicants get responses, what should we do oh since VFS is saying passport treatment is not by who submits first.

JustMellow:
Big Congratulations to those that already have their passport at hand already. I am not trying to pass a wrong notion here but a piece of advise to the males in the house.

Don't go to Canada and put marriage as the first priority, this may be regrettable on the long run. Face your book. If the love is beyond reality get someone to wake you up immediately.

But if you think the missing rib has been found and your life depends on it, please, follow your heart. Afterall, Love is a beautiful thing and marriage is its product.

All the best to those expecting MER/PPR.

When did you receive counterfoil and LOI?

ik123:
I submitted my passport since 3rd Nov and it was received by VFS Lagos on 4th Nov, till today I have not been sent my tracking no or any single email updating me on my passport. I have sent series of email and have called their customer care several time, they keep promising me that they will send me email. till today I have not gotten any tracking no or email that me passport is ready for collection. Though I now have my letter of introduction and counterfoil. Please is there anybody currently having this same challenge? what should I do next guys?

No o. Na one oyinbo talk full ground o. After dah one, na like two prompts and call enter room. I call this afternoon but d call bin dey enter schengen and south Africa. Evil spirit full d water wey surround dah Lekki Walahi na one kind alternate universe as per time dey work in reverse.

NairaLuck:

Thank you, in the prompt which number did you press? Is it number 8 to speak with a customer service representative? Or Number 2 for study visa enquiry?

What's your timeline after ppr?

Chikaima18:
Hello everyone. I got three mails from vfs yesterday that my passport has been collected from IRCC. I called them today and they said the passport is ready for collection. But my status isn't changed yet online. What do I do please. Kindly advise. Thank you.

08150199900. Please call repeatedly and consistently

NairaLuck:

Kindly share the number you contacted them with.

Thanks

Wow, this is serious

Ikechuqu:


I managed to reach VFS this morning, was told my passport is in transit from the embassy to their office. But still no counterfoil or change in status in my application portal.

Still excepting a feedback from the webform I raised.

In Davido’s voice... “something fishy going on”

I strongly doubt that they have touched my passport at all as I haven't gotten the VFS mail that says it's under process at the visa office. Most people get it before the final approval update. Hoping for the best though.

fratermathy:


You'll hear from them by next week. They may have done some secondary verifications.

Good morning guys. I called VFS this morning and after confirming that my passport is still at the embassy, they said passport processing at IRCC in no way depends on how fast you submit it. Na wa ooooooo

Just google IRCC Lagos Webform. It will show up

Ikechuqu:


Pls help with the link for IRCC lagos webform. I can only see for Nairobi and Beijing.

I have also sent IRCC Lagos a webform. A few days before getting PPR, Nairobi replied to my webform and said my application was finalized so i guess we dont have any business with Nairobi as Lagos is the only one to decide our fate right now. I really hope all goes well

Ikechuqu:


I’ll raise the webforms too, seems you gots fight for your matter before things get done now.
