Kimkalash:
So after 40 days and 40 nights, UPS and VFS decided to land my eagle today.

Disturbed them totally like an olodo asking for answers from an efiko in an exam of multivariable calculus.

Delivery guy finally came and after all the formalities, he humbly requested to roger him.

My brother I have been trying to call. No single update aside the one of last week. My passport has been dispatched to Canada visa application center, which I presume the one at lekki.

Complete landing gist

I flew from Uyo to Lagos on Tuesday evening and I stayed with a family friend for the night. I arrived the airport around 10am for a flight of 1.40pm. I thought I was early until I saw the queue. Quick tip: even if your flight is for 6pm, get to the airport around 12pm and stay there till they are ready for you .

Ethiopian airlines usually do manual verifications of all students travelling to Canada. You really need to be there on time for this because the man doing it is slow and doesn't care about your time. He asked for proof of enrollment, admission letter, ArriveCAN slip, and visa page. Please make at least two copies of all of these too. After showing him, he'll snap and then send to someone via WhatsApp to verify. Once confirmed, your passport will be given a number and you'll then proceed to where it will be scanned again for secondary verification. After this stage, you will then go to where you can get a boarding pass.

The plane left Lagos around 2pm. I was seated at the back and had space to stretch legs . We got to Addis Ababa around 7pm (Nigeria time) and then we entered a long queue for onward movement. From Addis Ababa, we went to Dublin for refueling and then to Toronto. Upon arrival, we talk a long walk (very long o) and got to immigration people. The woman that attended to me asked for these (in the following order):
1. Declaration slip (will be given to you in the airplane)
2. Passport
3. LOI
4. Student Status letter (enrolment letter)
5. School fees/tuition receipt
6. ArriveCAN page (apparently, I didn't even fill my own well and was delayed for a while. Make sure you fill yours well)
7. POF
8. LOA

She asked me the following:
Which department were you admitted into?
Why did you choose MUN?
What is your name?

Then she took my finger prints and issued me a Study Permit for 3 years (my program is for 2 years but I don't know why it was issued in excess).

I went to wait board a St John's flight after a long wait at the airport. Got to St. John without qualms. Reach my apartment, checked in and slept off.


Exams start on Monday. Canada is beautiful and nice. I love the place. Good luck to all who are applying or will soon come.

It has ended in praises.

Finally, the gist I have been waiting for.
We dey road dey come

Thank God for A smooth journey

josejay:
Bro please drop your email address I would love to ask some questions concerning Conestoga College...Thanks

Hello Hon josejay,
Kindly send me a DM here

adeenzo:
Please from where did you track your application? The place I tracked mine this is how it comes out, please view the screenshot below.
Anybody in this stage as well.
Please help!!!

Was in this stage two days ago, but it now reads dispatched to CVAC ie lekki, but they've not received it yet. Maybe this weekend, hopefully next week we'll got something positive

Kakokako:
Your passport is in Abuja office of the Canadian High Commission, that's where it will be stamped!

Oh, wow

goingforward:
Thanks for your response. Abuja seems to be the fastest route. Although he did his biometric in Lagos since 2018 though.

I'm hoping that the passport will return before Christmas, if we send it tomorrow.

Hopefully it will come but the chance is very slim

Hi Gurus in the house,

I've been a follower here for a long time.
My hubby's visa just got approved, please what is the fastest means to send his passport to Abuja VFS Office? ( I've been following and it seems Abuja VFS office is faster than Lagos right?)

Please also advise on what to be included in the package going to the VFS Abuja office, asides from his passport.

Thanks

goingforward

While Abuja is faster than Lagos, bare in mind that you may or may not get your passport this month. I am not sure when their holiday begins.
Take note, if you're not in a hurry to travel and this is your first Application and you did biometrics at Lagos then use it.
But if this is your second or third Application, use Abuja.
For services and speed, it's subjective, for me I trust UPS for some others it's DHL so to answer your question both of them are fast as they have same process

letskeeptalking:
Hello all,

Please which office do I direct webform/enquiries to? I've been sending to the Lagos office and it doesn't seem like they even receive it.

Nairobi

MadeMan01:
Does it mean if you fill consent form for courier and do two way, you don't need to pay 12,570?

That's what I did, I hope to it works out well. I paid two-way courier filled consent form and sent through UPS. Still waiting

adeenzo:
I just got my tracking number ID and when I tracked my application it is said "visa application tracking number ID xxxxx is being processed at the Canada visa office. for more info log on to bla bla bla.
my question is which 'Canada visa office' is it in Nigeria or Nairobi (where I got my PPR from).
Thanks in advance

It's in Nairobi, I think they'll dispatch yours and mine together as one batch, cause their holiday is fast approaching

Kimkalash:
Never. She's arriving Toronto later today and getting to the last destination at midnight

Omo!

Nor be small thing, I am waiting to get her opinion how she got through immigration without the Covid test, plus POE experience as I prepare.

Rootiab:
Good morning everyone. Please can someone please explain this travel history to me. Cause I have only travelled to ghana in my entire life

Honestly it's not a big deal.
While it's an advantage to have good travel history, it's doesn't guarantee STUDY PERMIT approval.
I and many other applicants who got APPROVED don't have any travel history, my passport is virgin but still got approved.
Focus on the important documents and very strong SOP, above all, if you're a believer/religious, pray to your God.

Afa Rebecca,
By now you suppose dey near POE or don pass POE.

tracy0803409:

Does the above mail in anyway signify that MY PASSPORT IS READY FOR PICK-UP?


Thanks

Did you do two-way courier?

Thank you!

They finally brought back my passport after one month and 5days

Congratulations ❣️

Hi Insanity, what if you try calling DHL customer care and quote the return way bill tracking number to inform them that the shipment is ready for collection at Visa Application Centre ( quoting the full address) . Please contact details of DHL Team in charge of shipment delivery and pickup. Please contact the customer service team by email on nginquiry@dhl.com and copy ngdispatch@dhl.com or call any of the DHL lines 08039077000, 08002255345 or 012700908.

You can try email DHL with your details let their team go there and lets see if that works.

Exactly!!!!!!!

As soon as I confirm my passport is at VFS I'll contact UPS and give them the details of return waybill number to pick it up.

Insanity:
Please which email address did you send to? Can I get it?, they're yet to reply to any of my emails and queries. If you have a different phone number too, please let me have it. Their mobile number is always busy, or won't go through at all, when it does and connects, it stops with the agents.

My passport has been ready for collection since December 03 at Abuja, I paid for a 2-way courier via DHL and I'm yet to receive my package. It's so annoying.

It's the same number, it takea about 65 trials to pull through and speak with them so keep trying. Honestly, the call is faster

Insanity:
Please which email address did you send to? Can I get it?, they're yet to reply to any of my emails and queries.

the one in their website that starts with info@vfs.... I'll check and drop it here

teminhi:
Hi Dora14,
Apologies for the very late response.
Intend leaving on Jan 8th.
Being sorted by Idah (ISA)
Yes we can exchange contact but how. Sent you a mail. Kindly check.
Thanks

Which school?

rebecausoro:
Today's the day. Finally.

Just a quick check:
I have my LOI, stamped passport, proof of enrollment, LOA, Funding award letter (as POF), and ArriveCAN receipt.

Do I need any other thing?

I didn't do COVID-19 test and I'm flying with Ethiopia Airlines.

, I don't intend to do Covid test, I hope you pull through, arrive safely dear

daks02:
Hi sis, pls I sent you a PM. Please it’s urgent. Thanks

Our babe should be on her way

demure178:
Should I submit it my bank statement as a soft copy been sent to my email from the bank? Instead of going into the bank to printout the statement and scan?

I used print out from online bank app sent to my email. It reduces space alot instead of scanning to upload. Mine was about 258 pages at 305kbs

Insanity:
I've sent emails to them thrice since Friday, no response from them yet. I read a post here that they don't reply to emails, call them instead, 08150199900. Call and call and call till you're attended to. It's not a task for the weak.

Actually they reply mails, so they replied my email 4days ago giving me tracking ID but I had already gotten it days before they replied. As difficult as it is keep trying to reach them by phone. It's faster, it's better as you might clear every possible question at a goal.
