hi meshegz, pls did you submit in person?
if yes..what are the things you had to take along?

did you go there to collect it yourself or via courier?

also, do you know how one can go about scheduling an appointment for 3 passports submission?

I used DHL

quadtunji:
Good morning All,

Please, can I go to Abuja and submit my passport even though I did my Biometrics in Lagos. I am considering this option because I want to have my passport back latest Next week. Thank you...

I submitted my passport in Lagos on a Monday and got it back the same Friday
About 3 weeks ago.

Congratulations
May the land Favor you

Pls can you share with us the documents you uploaded and also if you applied alongside your spouse or other dependents what document did they also submit ?

I ask because my wife got a job offer and the company is already in the process of getting us the Lmia letter.
My wife is the main applicant I will like to know how I can into the application and the steps involved in the process as a whole. Thanks
And congratulations once again

I am single, so I applied alone. Also, my employer used an immigration consultant for my application and I did the following.
- Employer applied for LMIA in February and was approved in February
- Upfront medical in February
- Application was submitted by them in march
- I was asked to do biometrics in Lagos by march also
- I sent about 10 webforms and mails and I also called ircc through viber app this month when the application was taking too long and the consultants also sent enquiries too.
My application is under GSS and was supposed to take 2 weeks but it took 28 weeks. So you will need to be patient and keep disturbing them once our application has passed normal processing time.

Documents I sent to the immigration consultant
Police character,
Evidence of previous work employments (previous employment offers or payslips, Letter of recommendation from former employers)
Bsc Certificate
Birth certificate
Employment letter
LMIA document (this was already with the consultant so I did not need to send this)
Passport
Medical Info sheet
I also completed one long form about my personal details and family member information
Bank statement to show that I was previously employed and I was paid salary (Note this is just for evidence and not for proof of funds)

For bank statement, I will suggest that if you are applying with your spouse and children that you check the cost of living for where you are going compared with your salary offer if it will be enough to sustain you all when you first arrive.
I saw someone who got denied because the visa officer felt that his salary is too low to cater for his dependants when they first get to Canada. So you might need to add proof of funds if you fall into this category.

meshegz:
Has anyone recently got closed work permit approval?
I applied since march and yet to get a response
Job is under gss (a tech job)
Though my company used immigration consultants and they keep saying application is in progress.
Does gss take this long for approval?

I got this job through LinkedIn
If you are a tech person don’t give up on applying to jobs in Canada.

Finally got PPR today
Waited for 28 weeks.

peejayT:

Are you also waiting?

damble:

My company

Anyone here in the same shoes with me.
Did biometrics on march 29th
Yet to hear anything
Job is under GSS
Looks like the 2 weeks was a scam in the first place.
Immigration lawyers provided by company are just silent.
