It says my passport is ready for collection at vac Abuja but I submitted in vac office Lagos. Does this mean I have to go pick it up in Abuja?

Hi Everyone,

Please I solicit your guidance. I applied for study permit November 15, 2022 and I have my study permit approved February 22, 2023 - The good news!!!

School - University of Canada West
Course - MBA
Province - Vancouver, BC.
Spring Intake - April 2023

First LOA from the school was Winter Intake - January 9,2023. Because the approval from IRCC didn't come in January 2023, I requested a deferral of admission till Spring Intake - April 2023. This was approved by the school and a new LOA was issued for Spring Intake - April 2023.

*My Question*
I would like to defer the admission again till Summer Intake July 2023 in order to raise additional funds to support myself (and family) but I am not sure what the immigration implications will be especially now that IRCC has approved my study permit here in Nigeria. Will they count the number of months my study permit was approved to the date I resumed for studies in the school? Someone, kindly guide me!!!

Secondly, at what point can I start to apply for my family to join me? Can I start immediately, or will I have to get into Canada first? Please guide me accordingly. What is the best way forward?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Shayo5:
you should get another mail stating that your passport has been returned to VFS, if not you can check VFS

Hi. Do you know if another message to go pick up the passport will be received. Or this is the message that will be sent and none afterwards. I also received the message.

Shayo5:
Just give it a day or two, then go to the VFS office where you submitted and pick up your passport.

Same with me as well. I actually do not know what to do

If you're sponsored and the marriage collapsed with say a divorce and you marry again and wants to sponsor the new spouse, you can marry but have to wait till 4 years to be able to sponsor the latest spouse.

Thank you for the clarification

Review of eligibilityHelp - Review of eligibility
"We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" They started reviewing my eligibility on the 20th Jan. 2023. Please, how long does it take? Do I still have to fire them messages via webform?

I thought this was you saying you already got PPR?

My class was supposed to start on the 9th JAN. 2023. But due to Visa delay I had to defer my admission and the deferral was denied because, I haven't paid up the 1st semester tuition fee, then I was advised by CONESTOGA COLLEGE to re-apply in the same program, which I did re-apply as advised on the 12th JAN. And they gave me admission on the 14th JAN. Now before I could send the new acceptance letter to IRCC through webform my PPR came out.
Got my PPR on the 17th JAN. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO NOW PLEASE, YOUR ADVICE IS NEEDED

Timonline:
Good Day house, please I want to get some info about the new policy where international students are allowed to work over 20hours/week?. I applied for my study permit by November 2021 but I got approved by December 2022 due to backlog and delays, I'll be landing by march this year. will I be able to take advantage of the new policy because of the timeline of my application?.

Did you receive an acknowledgement mail?

Hello house. Please I need some advice. I sent request for Visa on arrival on Tuesday but I have not received the approval mail I am to travel in 5 days. I sent a reminder, what else can I do please?

Hello house. I need your help/assistance please.
Those who used or know anyone that has used Houston north west medical center and the pediatrician affiliated with them please help me with a name and the cost that he or she paid

Chanbaby:
U don't need to go with diapers and wipes they will give u . just change of clothes for the baby to wear home.

.
Thanks for the clarification

Oleayo22:
For you, going home outfit, slippers/socks, phone charger, underwear,
For baby - going home outfit, shawl, car-seat, diapers and wipes,
They are likely to provide baby with what he/she will wear, diapers, sanitary pad and underwear for you.
The car-seat is very important though cos they won't discharge baby without inspecting it.

Thanks alot

Hello house, please what would you advise I pack to the hospital for delivery. I know the hospital gives certain things. I don't want to over pack. I am using Houston north west medical center. Thanks

BeauC2E:

Thanks

Hello everyone, please I need your help . Which option should I select for the notary form, thanks

Delta airline does not have any restriction. You can fly at 39 weeks sef @nasohian

I don't know anything about VOA. I know you can get a naija passport in a day max. 2 days. I am sure you can get naija visa sme day.

Gilgil:
Anyone still with recent info on visa on arrival for baby?
I sent in an email to the address on NIS website and I am yet to get a reply.

Would appreciate support here cos we have already paid for ticket to return to Naija next week Tuesday.

At this point would doing a Naija passport scale through?

Looks like the hospital I used based on the cost, visit fee of 130 and the cost of sonogram. But they have increased to 15,000 now. Congratulations .

Hello house, I have been looking forward to sharing this story as I have noticed everyone has been dull and panicking. My husband and I had our 221g interview this Saturday -10 Nov and we were granted our visas.

………… A bit of background.

In 2016, we got visas. In that interview, we stated our intention to birth our child. Fast forward 2018 we put in our passport for drop box in September but were invited for a 221g interview.

The first date we saw was in March 2019, then one fateful day, I checked the portal again and the closest date we got was Jan 21 which we selected immediately. Few days later we got a notification that the interview has been rescheduled to Jan 11 because Jan 21 was a public holiday in the US. Then again one faithful night we got another email that we had been rescheduled again to Nov 10 which was a shock as it fell on a Saturday.

On the date of the interview, my husband and I were both shocked to see the massive crowd at the embassy for our 8.30 appointment. The whole room was so crowded. When it was our turn a young lady probably in her early 20ties interviewed us.

VO: Hello good morning with a big smile, (she collects our passport and scans)
US: We are fine thank you!

VO: she responds after scanning our passports “so let’s see why you are asked to come for an interview- you had a baby in 2016, good thing you declared your intentions, so we just want to see your receipts to verify you made all your payments”

I already arranged all our receipts with zero balance receipt, I also got my hospital to give me a letter stating that I didn’t take any form of insurance or medic-aid.

I passed on the receipts to her.

VO: How much did you pay?
US: 10k for the birth and 130/per pre-natal visits, 241/sonogram

VO: do you have your itemized bill?

My husband and I were sceptical on taking the itemised bill along as we read here that some VO typically pick issues upon sighting itemised bill, but we still took it along.

DW: Yes! then I presented the itemised bill and she confirmed our zero balance on the itemised bill.

She then asked general questions on what we filled in our application as I have changed jobs since 2016 but still the same field.

VO: Will you be using medical serviced during your visit?
US: No! we will not be using medical services cos I am not pregnant at the moment (which is the truth)

(After she informed us that we’d be granted visa renewals, I wanted to ask, “what if I get pregnant before my visa expires, can I use this visa”. I just kept quiet before she will change her mind or start asking me for my great grandmother’s birth certificate……. LOL)

My observation:

All through our 1hr stay in the room;

1. A lot of people were refused, and a lot of people were granted
2. Majority of the people around me were for 221g interview or given birth or their spouse have given birth in the US.
3. At some point, I overheard one VO asking;
• “Do you have an idea how much it cost to birth in US?”, I guess the applicant stated a very low price that she paid.
• I also heard one VO stating that a particular Dr in Houston is on their investigation list for Medicare. He typically would go back to government for payments after charging patients low. The VO went ahead to request that the applicant should present her itemised bill.
(I MIGHT HAVE HEARD WRONGLY)

Summarily, my advise to anyone intending to birth in America are
1. Be TRUTHFUL and pray for the grace of God and favour….
2. Be organised, arrange and label all your documents properly.
3. Stay away from cheap hospitals.
4. The VO while interviewing us checked a paper she pasted on her wall after I told her how much I paid. Then she nodded like that was a fair enough price.(MY OBSERVATION MIGHT BE WRONG)
