Msticks: Hello everyone, I got canadian visit visa last year. I did my biometrics before getting the visa. I was told biometrics lasts for 10 years. Now i applied for PR, and IRCC are asking me to submit biometrics again. Why is that one not valid anymore? Hi...same expeerience, I did biometrics for TRV in Dec 2023, now I got a BIL for my PR application yesterday, the challenge now is...vfs canada site seems not to be working well as I have been getting this error on several browsers, devices and laptops. Please are you able to book another biometric appointment?

Hello Everyone,
trust we are all doing well.
Please i need advise from experienced travellers around combining tickets, and will share a background story of my application;
1) I have an ongoing PR Spousal sponsorship application...got AOR Feb 9th 2024. 2) I had applied for TRV since November 2023, did Biometrics dec1st 2023 ...this application was submitted with invitation letter from my wife who is a canadian PR, and reason for the visit is to travel for 2 weeks to celebrate her birthday with her and return back to Naija. However, I am considering booking 2 different tickets; One for Lagos to Ottawa trip (non-refundable) and another refundable (Ottawa to Lagos) which I plan to cancel as I don't plan to return since my PR application must have gone far by then, and coupled with the Policy that allows Spousal PR applicants to come in with TRV for Family reunification that was announced last year.
Another thing is...I want to book these tickets now before the travel date is near and fares would be much expensive.
My question now is:
1) Would it be okay to book the 2 tickets separately and cancel the return leg when I have settled in over there? 2) How can I filter for only refundable tickets when on the airline's website?
Look forward to your usual responses everyone. Thanks |

Educhopper: Please out of curiosity, how does one apply for resident visa? Does having a tourist visa give you an edge or what? I also have a tourist visa. That's why I am asking. Please help with an answer thanks First things first....no such thing as tourist visa. What you are referring to as tourist visa is actually a visitor visa. Then, note that a visitor visa is a TRV..temporary resident visa.the next level is a PR..permanent resident visa I hope this helps |

Getting Powmr has been scarce, I am considering Growatt over Felicity as Felicity is now way expensive compared to the Price of Growatt.
I would appreciate tips from any one who has an idea of Growatt brands.

It is very possible, It surprises me when people like you conclude as though you are the one in charge of these processes. See my application summary below: I submitted my VV application November 26th and got Biometrics request same day, and booked biometrics for dec 1st.

Okay...I registered and paid online on Saturday Nov 11th afternoon and yesterday morning my application had moved past secretariat routing. However the sms I got yesterday morning says capture expiry date is November 12th which is a day before. I want to know if there is really a timeline one must appear for the biometric capture after getting the sms and what documents to go with for the capturing Thanks ShyShyBobo: I think everything was explained in the link.
The guide helped me too.
I paid online, the actual 30k. But capturing officer(a woman) was hesitant to capture me. She said I'll need to pay. She actually delayed me (around 10 minutes) because I said I called their official customer care. Others there were giving her 3k, 5k, actually, they'll expect you to give them a price first.
Inshort, she didn't collect anything from me. And I got my certificate around 5/6pm same day. |

Oh great, did they update it after you sent the email? nymphomaniac: still at secretariat routing.
Do a mail to secretariat@possap.gov.ng and tell them to help you confirm your invoice and move your file. Make sure your email body contains your invoice number and file number.
I did that Friday |

She actually delayed me (around 10 minutes) because I said I called their official customer care. Others there were giving her 3k, 5k, actually, they'll expect you to give them a price first.

ShyShyBobo: It's called Police Clearance Certificate
Go to possap.gov.ng, you need to register. It costs 30k, which you'll pay on the portal. You'll most likely get your certificate the same day you do biometrics.
Also, officers you'll meet there may ask you to pay something ooo
Check here for detailed guide https://myexplorepage.com/police-character-certificate-in-nigeria-2023/ Do you advise one to do it online himself or go through an officer? I am asking because I know how the officers in passport office delay people who do the registration online themselves..You know this is Lagos and people can be wicked and selfish. Regards |
