Good day all, after 4 weeks of passport submission, I did receive an email notification from VFS which states “the decision envelope for your application has been received from the IRCC office on May 17, and has been dispatched to the Canada Visa Application Centre”.

Please does this mean that VFS Lagos has received my passport? Or may I know what this email means.

Thank you

Thank you

Nothing to worry about, it will definitely come.
If you submitted at Lagos or Abuja VFS just have 6 to 8 weeks as your timeline.

Good day all. Please does anyone know the current time estimate to one’s passport returned after being sent via VFS? It’s 5 weeks since I sent my passport to get stamped. I’m wondering if this is normal.

Thank you

Thank you

In my experience, the guys at the border will typically greet you with a "Hello/Hi and Bonjour" combo greeting and the conversation will proceed in whichever language YOU continue in, if you say good afternoon, they'll 99% of the time proceed in English.

I'm not sure they go digging in your file to see if you got PR through the French draws but if push comes to shove for whatever reason, anyone with a CLB7 should be comfortable to have a conversation with a border officer in French even if there are errors....but I doubt it'll ever come to that.

#PersonalOpinion

Hello, I would like to know for individuals who got ITA via the French stream and finally COPR. After landing in Canada, are you expected to speak French to the immigration officers? Or you can speak English.
Thanks

Please find attached a screenshot of the request

Also, can you explain what you mean by ref letter containing all IRCC requests? My ref letter was tailored to the NOC. I don’t know if that was enough.

Thanks for your input

GraciousWords:


*What exactly did they ask for in your ADR? Maybe share a screenshot with your personal info removed.

*Does your ref letter contain all that IRCC requests?

*Does your Job description in your ref letter match your NOC? Is it an NOC starting with 0 meaning oga oga or C-suite executive?

*Does your company have online presence? Are you listed at all on the web pages or social media handles?

*In addition to pay slips and banks statements with monthly salary highlighted, maybe also include promotion/commendation letters, linkedin details, annual goals, annual manager evaluations and appraisals, call card, employment ID, vacation requests and approvals, evidence of tax payment, emails showing an aspect of your function being performed or other examples showing the completion of 2 or 3 tasks on your JD. Maybe add evidence of trainings you attended. Tie everything together in a carefully worded LOE emphasize all the aspects of the IRCC ref letter that are already present in your initial ref letter. Pls refer to the IRCC webpage indicating that we do not need to have the educational requirements for our NOC, if you believe that this is a concern (geology to banking) when you draft the LOE as you resubmit.

All the best!

Thank you

Hmmm, and you said bank statements highlighting salary paid?. You can do that in addition to all IRCC requirements. Add photos of you at work if need be, promotion letters if any. Anything to convince the VO.
Our elders in the house will weigh in...

I submitted a reference letter and provided payslips. I do have a BSc in Geology and work in the bank. I do not know if the VO officer is wondering what I may be doing at the bank. I do not have any financial certifications. I only learned on the job

Can my reference letter indicate how I grew to my current position by participating in in-house trainings?

aurorae1:


You didn't submit a reference letter? You can also provide payslips.

Good day all, I did receive an email from IRCC and they have requested I furnish additional supporting documents as proof of meeting employment requirements for the position I stated. I did submit my offer letter, bank statement, a letter from HR during the initial application.

Can anyone advise me on how to go about this, or what documents do should I provide again.

Thank you

Thank you

Newyork- ZikaExpress
Houston- Hontglobal, Cargo extra, Unpause
Irving- county cargo , splendid packaging cargo and logistics

Thank you. Can you recommend any shipping company?

Debbieeeeeee:

Amazon for water wipes they have great deals on water wipes, formula and diapers too & Sam’s club for their members mark unscented wipes
Shipping depends on state and mode of shipping, heavy items should go by ocean and it takes 12 weeks from other states but from newyork and neighboring states it’s about 6/8 weeks.

Hello all, please kindly advise on the best store to shop for diapers, wipes and formula. Do we use Costco or Sam’s club. Any other store would be well appreciated.

Also, any recommendation On shipping these items to Nigeria will be well appreciated

Upfront Medicals are no longer required.

Good evening everyone. I do have a friend who just got ITA. Can she go for up front medicals? Or she has to wait to receive a request for her to go for medicals.

I would appreciate your kind response

Thank you. quote author=GraciousWords post=127179135]





I was paid in cash - see page 1 post 7 (FAQ 19)
The company has no online presence and/or is unregistered - see page 1 post 7 (FAQ 25)

These are personal opinions in some cases - final decision is yours.

Please I co-ask. I’m in same situation. I worked in a role for a small company and was paid cash. Can I use this company as part of work experience? Or must my work experience be from a registered company whose presence is online? I have a work history with a registered organization but it’s two years. I intend adding the first company which isn’t registered. I would appreciate everyone’s advice. Thanks

Essy01:
Hi everyone.
So i worked for a small company whose business isn’t on the website. Will this be a problem for work history when given ITA?

Thank you

phabulous88:


Yes.

You’ll have to evaluate both the one year diploma and the BSc degree

Hello all, please does having a one year diploma add to two or more degrees after completion of a 4 year BSc?

Thank you

Please does anyone have an idea on what I should do. Thanks

You’re dropping off at Muri okunola dhl at the said time and date not the embassy.

Hello all, I just scheduled my date to drop off my passport which is supposed to be at DHL in Victoria island. But the confirmation mail shows “Consular Appointment Details 2 Walter Carrington Crescent Victoria Island Lagos” does it mean this is the drop off location and not DHL on Muri Okunola st? Thank you

Thank you

Good day all. I am trying to renew my US visa as I am eligible for Dropbox. I have completed the DS-160 form and went to the portal to schedule a visa interview. I completed all required information and inputted my receipt number. After this was done, I got the next prompt which was “your request to schedule an appointment has been received and will be reviewed. You will receive your request once your request is approved “ I would like to know if this response is normal. Is it after approval I would be able to pick a date to drop off my passport?Also, how long do I have to wait before I can receive the email approval? I would appreciate your kind response. Thanks

Good morning all. I paid for the visa fee using my GTB app. I would like to know if the receipt number is same as the Reference number? I inputted this number yesterday and I am still awaiting authorization to schedule a date for my passport renewal. I don’t know if I’m on the right path

Thank you

Debbieeeeeee:

Yes that’s the modus operandi for now. You’ll be sent an email when it’s approved then you’ll proceed to choose a date to drop off your passport at the dhl office
