Why not? IRCC isnt an academic body na

Rootiab:
Good day. Please I got admission to Memorial University, Newfoundland (Master's Education - Education Technology) but I graduated with 2.8 for my BSc Information Technology, do I stand a chance in getting visa?
My admission is for Winter 2021 and classes start may 10th

You re going to Memorial?

ericksen:
True. More reason why I am going to the province. Na PPR we de wait for laidis ooo!!

VAC or embassy?

Chocs:
Your passport is still with the VAC. When it has been stamped, you’ll see that it has been returned back to VFS. VFS will then hand it over to the courier.

This moment wont be dark forever bro. Joshua said in the Bible " Carpe Diem". It will end in praise

Blavkmaann:


With the current price is YABASI, the only question we can ask is WHAT HAVE WE DONE!

Or better still make it in Lagos.

Blavkmaann:


My dear.... what can people that want a better life do?



Listen to a better time I guess

It's frustrating but we can only hope for the best. Another two days of hibernation

fratermathy:


Wait till Monday. Since the Lagos office started stamping passports this month, they've only done so on Monday/Tuesday.

Lol make the person kuku apply for transit visa go hotel come back later

Sirromey:
Not I am not arguing. I said I saw one not Ethiopian air it was KLM. You will make a 23 hours stop at doha

Reapply for wetin na. Shebi u get ppr na

fratermathy:


Funny guy. Area!

Bro I said Ethiopian not Qatar

Sirromey:
Ok. I saw where you will make an 18 hour stop at Doha. God forbid ���. All the best chief.

Long but worth it. I m flying from Toronto to my school, thats what makes it three.

Sirromey:
Three stop will be stressful, how long where the waiting hours? I saw some on kayak 1300USD-1600USD

If i m not mistaken, the first notification from VFS about the reception of your passport should be a mail that contains your tracking id which is same as your tracking number. Check your spam too

Ome102595:
Hello house,
How long does it take VFS to send tracking Number after they have received passport via DHL.

It's been 2days since they received my passport.

Please it's urgent.
Please I need answer from the people that have submitted their passport
Thanks

I think it's a general issue. Passport tracking is also proving difficult

Byefelicia:
I’ve been asking this since please can someone answer me .... Vsf biometric booking isn’t opening is it only me is happening to?

Bought for Ethiopian at 340k. Three stops

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

Which low cost flights are available please?

Lekiboboe:

Whats the next step?

Just hold on. We re on the same boat

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

Very big congrats to those getting PPR especially those that applied since March and had their DLIs approved just three days ago.
Sometimes when i try to go banana with IRCC for not stamping my passport yet since over 17 days ago that i submitted, I think of these people and I m like man take a chill pill, some people waited for eight months

Indian VACs will be open from tomorrow. There has been relative ease though

DINO71:


Hi
Did you apply in Turkey? I applied on the 1st of April and got AIP on the 6th although it was dated 5th. Later got my BVL immediately my DLI was Covid ready which was the first batch. The following day got my PPR. I think the delay is because of your school just being approved at a time there is a lot of backlog of applications to roll out as per PPRs and the rest. It appears they are really overwhelmed and are trying to slow down the pace of processing applications. I even understand that India VACs have been closed for now. I know it can be frustrating..... let’s not loose faith, you will get there.

2nd and 3rd

Pimp04:
Please when did you get the bvl and ppr?

It's not generic.I raised such a week before getting PPR and they sent the same and even told me the status, that they ve sent a passport request. If you received MER and AIP, you should be calm

Eilenora:
So after Fanshawe's name came out on the list, I sent IRCC an email alongside webforms requesting the status of my application. I also did this before Fanshawe's name was published to which they responded that only students whose schls had approved covid readiness plans would be allowed into Canada. Earlier this morning I received a response to my emails thus:

Good day,

Thank you for your correspondence.

Please be informed that a decision has been made on your application. You will be informed of the next steps in the coming few weeks.

In view of our limited resources, we will not be able to respond to any further correspondences from you regarding this matter.

We respectfully request that you withhold from writing further emails until we contact you. We will not be responding to future emails received within this timeframe.

We appreciate your cooperation, patience, and understanding.

What do you guys think of this? Is this a generic response or are they just tired of my emails? I appear to have over-done it

I have a question. Did everyone who got their status changed to approved get a "your application is being processed at IRCC" a day prior?

Our timelines are the same . 3rd, 5th, 16th

Dovelove543:
Hi Kimkalash,
I agree with you. I sent my passport to Lagos VAC on the 3rd of November and it was received on the 4th by Festus and transmitted to IRCC on the 5th, as I received the transmission message and tracking number.

On the 16th, I received 2 messages, the first stated a transmission of my passport, and the second stated that processed enveloped has been sent to CVAC Lagos. When I called them, they said that passport processing takes an average of 16 days-meaning it could be more or less. What I forgot to ask them is if it's 16 days or 16 working days. Anyways, we will wait.

Please keep everyone posted, we have the same timeline and profile. All the best.

Mine hasn't but if so, then you should contact the VAC asap.

Honney85:
Thank you! Yes my status has changed to approved since the 9th

By the way, has your status changed to "Approved?". If so, then you could guess so

Honney85:
Dear Nairalanders, please I need help to understand what this means.

I just tracked my passport on the website now and it says my passport has bn collected from the canada visa application centre lagos on 17th. I'm worried because somebody we submitted passport together, paid for passport return same day collected hers yesterday. So I want to know if this means UPS already has my passport.

P.S I'm using an agent for my application and I haven't gotten my LOI and counterfoil details at least, so he says

Hello please try to calm down. Definitely the communication fault is from VFS. I submitted 2 weeks ago and whenever i tracked it, it said it was received at the VAC for collection (probably collection here meant collection by IRCC).

Three days ago, i received two emails where one said decision envelope was received at the VAC and would be forwarded to VAC and the other said it was in transit to IRCC. Some people that got the same emails said VAC claimed they were error messages.

In my own view, i dont think so but they probably told them they were error messages because they would be contradicting the first mail they sent ever before these two (the one that confirmed that the courier company had it delivered to them and that it was dispatched to IRCC). I think the first one is likely to be either erroneous or incorrectly written.

Why do i think so? Because when i tracked it on the delivery date it said "received at VAC and ready for collection" but a day after i received those two emails, the tracker said "sent to the visa office" which means the sending took effect when they sent the second of the two mails three days ago.

They are definitely making progress but just communicating poorly. Let's be calm. It shall be well.

MOKENN:
The Eagle has landed my people.

DHL has delivered my passport.

Na LOI remain.

It has been a strenuous journey but... We Move!

Has your status been updated to Approved?

Ikechuqu:


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

My own mail two days ago said envelope decision was received at Lagos Canada VAC OC and will then be sent to Lagos Canada VAC OC. Here's just one con of legalizing weed in Canada. Say no to drugs!

Lekiboboe:
I got a mail some few minutes ago from VFS


Dear Bleep,

Visa application, tracking ID No

The envelope for the decision on the results of your visa that has been processed has been received at the Canadian Visa Application Center at Abuja OC, on the date. We will then send this to the Canadian Visa Application Center Abuja OC. Please note that this is an automated email. Please DO NOT reply to this email. Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice. Please refer to the “Buy Services” page of the VAC website for further information on courier services offered by the VAC

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

Good evening guys. I bought my ticket today, despite my passport not being stamped yet since i submitted two weeks ago. There was an issue though. The agent was telling me i wouldnt be allowed to board without the result of a covid test taken three days prior to the journey. She said it's compulsory but i heard some have traveled without it, so could someone please help clarify? Thanks

rebecausoro:


3 weeks to stamp visa

Worst case scenario

I got banned yesterday for mistakenly posting a link. An acquaintance said his status got changed to "Approved" just this afternoon after he submitted three weeks ago. I submitted mine on the 3rd so i d just be expecting mine to click by next week Wednesday.

At this point, i am done stressing over their nonsense. Make i go chop akpu

Akannitommy:
Sent my passport on 3rd November to the Lagos VFS and DHL tracking showed it was received by the popular "Mr Festus" on 4th November. I got the first and only email with tracking number on 5th November saying they received my passport and was dispatched to Lagos VO.

No counterfoil email, no LOI then I received this same message about 15 minutes ago which seems like an error message. We will keep fingers crossed and see what happens next.
