Good morning everyone, please who else has experienced what I'm experiencing RN.

Since my passport was received by Me Festus last week I am yet to receive a tracking ID or acknowledgement.


What could be the reason or what can I do

Good day all. If I have my English proficiency letter, do I still need to write ielts?
For NSE, yes, you need IELTS. For normal Application, depends on the school requirements, most waive English proficiency for Nigerian applicants, some request that letter, very few Request for IELTS.

You choose which route to opt for

Hello Rebecausoro,
Can I also message this email address to enquire about my passport? It was received on Wednesday from UPS by Mr Friday, I am yet to get an acknowledgement or tracking ID.

If that's not the email address can you assist with the right email address and phone number?

Thank you

Well, no one can say for sure, but I submitted on the 3rd, it was delivered/received on the 4th and I am hoping to get my passport on Monday, the 30th. I hope this gives you an idea sir?

To your second question, VFS advises people not to do two-way courier, I don't if it works but I wish I did it. Anyways, we have come this far 11,300 something no go kill us.
Thank you Hon Dove543

Thank you for this information.

Please I want to ask and understand how this passport thing works.

So UPS sent me a mail that my passport was received yesterday by the popular Mr Festus, how long should I wait to get acknowledgement and tracking ID?

Secondly, with the feedback of 11,300 does it mean the VAC no longer acknowledges 2way Courier for first time applicants?


Thanks as I await your valuable feedbacks.

Hi, Every passport expectant,

I just got off the phone with VFS customer representative. I called with respect to the amount we have to pay and informed him that I am in Lekki close to their office. He said it is a flat rate irrespective of location. He did mention the about is N11, 300...and something. But then, he asked for my Tracking ID to be sure my passport is in their office.....I gave it to him....after checking he told me my full name and email address correctly. He said the passport is on its way and will arrive anytime soon. he said I should expect a mail from them latest by tomorrow afternoon.

I was part of those that got approval and LOI on Tuesday. So our passport is on its way and it a flat rate of N11,300...and something. So let expect the mail tomorrow.

All the best!

@lekiboboe @justwise @justmellow @chocs Is there a thread of students in Canada? I know there’s a thread called “Living in Canada” but it seems best suited for PR...

Thanks
Hello gurus in the house, everytime I see more reasons why we need to have a thread for Nigerian students already studying in Canada. Imagine most of us who just got approval there's no clear guide for us including traveling and landing tips, accomodation, job hunt hacks, etc.

Please let look into it, or if the other thread is still open someone should share a link to the thread let's start from there

Oga sir good day,
Please I'm not sure how to go about getting accommodation in Kitchener, I'll be going to Conestoga College 3rd week in December, and it says on cic website one must have a proper quarantine plan, must I get an apartment and pay before traveling? If so how do I achieve this please?

Thanks to everyone that have provided a response to my question. A quick one, can I use someone I'm not related with as a sponsor?? Secondly, is it possible to claim a sponsor we ain't related as my uncle?? Will they get to know it's not tru?
For your second question I am not sure they do for all applications but mine was verified. Although we're related with same surnames.

I saw it in my GCMS note

Bro abeg where did you submit passport and how much?
I sent to Lagos VAC, this is my first application so i only paid UPS for two way courier.
I attached my Biometric slip which was given to me when I provided my data.

For the price, it depends on your location and the courier company (either DHL or UPS), the price can range from N3,800 to N4,500 within Lagos.

I'm not sure of other locations

It's not compulsory to do it, even if you get the email it's just an advert it's either you accept it or ignore it. Your application will still be processed normal
