Yaaay!!!

Daniellano:

Finally picked up mine today too after paying someone at servicom on Monday for fast track, your feedback @lexy123 was really helpful and what moved me to action, thanks a whole lot 🙏🏽

I finally got my passport today. I had to go back to Ikoyi again today. My plug was absolutely useless. I went to Servicom and spoke with their oga (wrote letter), but I wasn’t satisfied, from there I went to the PCO’s office to try to speak with him. I was finally able to speak with him and he was able to help. I also learnt they brought booklets yesterday, so you need to start applying pressure by going to their office or speaking with your plug, if it’s urgent.

Daniellano:


Sure I will

Not yet o. I was there yesterday and they are still saying no booklet and that they are waiting for Abuja to send the booklets. Please let me know if you hear anything.

Daniellano:


Did my capturing February 2nd I called someone there as at last week and he told me that currently there's no booklet, I don't know about this week.
Any update from your end ?

Hi Swii, can you please share your contact for the fast track. I’ve been trying to collect mine at Ikoyi and it’s quite urgent. Thank you

Swii:
It ended in praise

Captured 23rd January

Issued 26th January

#Not Diy

Diy is when you don't need it urgently. If you know you can afford Fast track and it is also very urgent, please save yourself the stress and do Fast track

Conclusion: this group really helped me when I applied Dec 2023... Thank you guys, you are really doing a great job

Please did anybody capture in Ikoyi this February and has collected their passport. I did mine there and someone is telling me that there are no booklets.

Please can anyone add me to the lagos date search whatsapp group. 08189708693. Resumption date is in August. Thank you

Yaaay congrats!!!

Hallo

My waiting partner I have gotten my approval too.
Thanks a lot I wish your sister and I a very great trip.

It's my Member of Parliament here in Canada. It's like a local government chairman in Nigeria. Sent him a mail 2 days ago. It might or might not have helped but theres no harm in trying.

Beedempsey:


Goodnews.

Please whats MP? And when did you send it

My sister just got her authorization letter. I sent a mail to my MP tho. I dont know if that helped but you can tell your family member in Canada to try that out.

Beedempsey:


I have not lets see how it goes.

Lol. Not yet.. they have been taking their sweet time.. hopefully in the coming days.. what about you?

Beedempsey:


Please tell me you have a response

Oh wow.. I didnt let her or my mum buy their ticket yet. I checked Facebook also, they've been having slow return rate since April.

But they'd respond soon dont worry

Beedempsey:


I will let you know.

Lets keep praying

I already booked my flight sef so that is giving me a headache.

Hopefully they respond soon. She sent a webform on monday and tuesday also after the mail in 12th (she also didnt include a document).

The wait is quite irritating. Please if you get a response, please share.

Thank you

Beedempsey:


I first requested for it with my visa prioritization mail in March 23 but visa was approved and I didn't get any authorisation so

I submitted a Web form 19th then I realised I missed a document.

So I resent via email 20th.

My sister hasn't gotten hers also. She submitted April 12, resent with webform this past Monday. When did you submit yours?

Beedempsey:
Hi people,

Please Who else requested for authorization letter and yet to get a response ? For those travelling as extended family member.

The wait frustrating.

Thank you for the response Newmum

Newmum0615:
@Lexy123 this and a copy of your PR card and birth cert. That's what others have said. She nailed it.

Thank you so much

Chirolechick:
If you write them they’ll tell you she’s an immediate family and doesn’t need the authorization letter, so just print the portion on their website that exempts her as an immediate family, a copy of your PR card and birth certificate, that’s all Ethiopian airline asked for

Hi Newmum,

I'd say Ethiopian because most times it cheaper than the rest. However, comfort might not be that great.

My mum is also coming to Toronto soon and I wanted to ask if you did written authorization for your mum. I know CIC says immediate family do not need it but I would just like to re-confirm from someone who is also going through the process.

Also, what other documents would she be going with.

Thanks in advance.

Newmum0615:
Hi,

Does anyone have suggestions on good and affordable airlines flying from Lagos to Toronto at the moment please? I am torn between Lufthansa and Ethiopian Airlines but prices are not smiling. I know summer travel dates are crazy but any help on options is appreciated.
PS: The flight is for my mum, so I am particular about shorter layovers.

Thank you.

kniffy:
I just submitted an application for my mum as well. On the questionnaire, I did not choose ‘other’. It was only on the application form that I selected other and wrote out COVID-19

Thank you very much

Lexy123:
Hello All,

Pls quick question. I am filling the questionnaire for vist visa for my mum. I know on the application form proper for purpose of visit you pick other and state covid-19 in 1b. However, does the same also apply for when filling the questionnaire?

I am asking this because if you select other on the questionnaire for purpose of visit, the document list doesn't include the "purpose of travel" field where you upload flight reservation, itinerary and all.

Pls how did those that have passed this stage do it

Thanks.

Any help pls guys

Late PPR announcement but really better late than never. Very long post alert!!!

ITA 496 - July 2020 (Cant remember the date but it was the first all program draw after covid drama)
AOR - August 8 2020
Biometric - Sept 2oish dont really remember
PPR - Nov 18
Vfs returned passport - Jan 22 2021 (run from vfs lagos abeg)

Background

Started japa plans since 2018 but never took it seriously. I glanced through nairaland that period and decided to start with IQAS. Did that and the evaluation came in Feb of 2019. But by then I was more interested in traveling to UK. I sat down with uk visiting thread (I can give Justwise a big kiss here). It was so self explanatory and easy to do I was like haaaaa.. Bear in mind I already had 2 UK refusals before I stumbled on the thread. But I get coconut head I said the 3rd time would be the charm. I sat down with that nairaland thread and did the visa by myself. Visa came out, I travelled and came back.

Over confidence was worrying me and I decided to apply for Canada visit also immediately I got the UK visa. Canada bounced me and said family ties in canada bla bla bla. I said no wahala, I would come back from UK and reapply. Then almighty covid happened. Lockdown ensued.

My sis called me one day during lockdown and said oya go and continue your canada pr. That's how I registered for MOD in May. Wrote it after lockdown and had 9, 9, 7.5, 8.5. Used ielts liz, a bit of Jay, cambridge 1-13 and youtube videos on listening. Dived into the pool and got ITA.

Got reference letter from my present and previous place of employment to make up 3 years. Sent bi-weekly whatsapp msgs to my previous boss to ensure I was fresh in his mind incase ircc called. Before village ppl would want to take control. Important to note that I was paid cash here and I worked here for over 2 years. I just stated it in the reference letter that I was paid cash das all. I didn't do cash certificate. It felt like I would be trying too hard if I added that. At the end of the day it's whatever makes you sleep at night.

I had 3 separate pair of eyes look at my application. I looked at it from the point of view of the VO also.

Saved up majority of my proof of funds and got the rest from my dearest mama.

After biometrics, the plan was to request for gcms every month (wetin consine agbero with overload). I would disturb then until they answer me. Lo and behold, first gcms in October showed everything passed, security not yet started. I started dancing. I knew it was about to go down. I sha have not committed any crime.

Nov 18 golden mail arrived and vfs lagos started their drama.

This thread is a treasure trove and for the newbies I beg of you read page 1. Everything you need is there. Almost somebody has passed through whatever questions you have and you will definitely find your answers there. I learnt by force by fire when I sent DM and nobody will respond. I kuku respected myself and found my way to page 1.

Justwise is the real MVP. Also all the selfless people who answer question here, I doff my cap to you. Did the whole process from begining to end without any agent help

See y'all in cannyland soon!!!

Bisunique25:
I will go the federal high court for the declaration, thank you so much.

Nikkah is a valid form of marriage both in Nigeria and Canada as long as you have a duly signed marriage certificate. My cousin (a pr holder in Canada), just got married through Nikkah ceremony. Just show adequate proof of your marriage along with your license and you are good to go

Hello,

I sent a PM to you. Pls I'd like to join the telegram group for lawyers preparing for the NCA.

Thanks

ABSTRUSE:


Let’s communicate via mail

Nothing to worry about.. just submit your passport and follow the instructions in the mail.. As long as the mail came from a Visa office, your cic profile would be updated accordingly.

Sotonwaostrong:
Good evening everyone. Please I need the assistance of the Guru’s in the house.
I got PPR today. The feeling is surreal ... however , I didn’t get an attachment. Just the details saying profile approved with the ppr mail. Also, my CIC profile is still showing processing and eligibility and background check still showing processing.. Also, I didn’t get the COPR message in my profile. I only got the email from Accra immigration. Did anyone experience this ? Or should I be worried ?

Hello All,

Please can I get a copy of the vac consent letter. My mail is mamamcbelle@gmail.com.

Thank you all in advance
