Got this yesterday ....still waiting and hopeful

sos123:
Your application, tracking ID No.************ has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on Thu Jan 05 2023.

I received this today. Does that mean my passport will soon be out? People need to travel oh.

I submitted on the 28th, Abuja.

Submitted on the 23rd the same place VFS Lagos in person.
Did you receive any mail that it was ready for you to come pick it up

Wsx2:


When did you submit picked mine today. Submitted on 20th December.I walked in to the lagos office to pick it. I didn’t pay a dime for submission and pickup. Lekki use to be my neighborhood . Those who submit between 21 to 24th should expect theirs this week

Pickup btw 8am to 10am only once you are a minute late they will send you back don’t bother to go if you will get there late

Yes it's okay to do that.

faith7605:
*So what if I use my spouse as home ties and later apply for them to join after I get my study permit. Is this okay as well?*

This was what was sent to us ..that they have just received the passport at Abuja office.
Will they ever return this passport and then we collect it by Friday

Am just so worried her school resumed today
And they have until 12th to be in school. So we wanted her to leave by Saturday being 7th

You can go and do court marriage with her and use the certificate

Olayinkaji:
Abeg a question , can one use girlfriend has home ties? Person wey u wan marry soon but not yet?

I think from Lagos,it is sent to Abuja

Eseosajoy:
Good Morning
Please I have a question.

Even after passport has been sent to Ghana or Nairobi, will it still be sent to Abuja? That is for someone who submitted in Lagos.

Same thing here ... submitted on the 23rd,then the mail on the 28th that it has gotten to Abuja till now nothing yet oo.
The thing is so tiring.
I'm still optimistic that before the end of tomorrow we will be notified.
They ought to know that schools resume by first week. And students will need their passport to travel. Why frustrate people with this unnecessary delay. .

Every stage in this thing is just one big huddle.

I just pray it will not continue like this when the person gets there...


God please see us through and perfect this good thing You have done for us oo

GoodofNaija:

My sibling booked for Friday 2pm, I'm just so confused self. I just want everything to be delivered fast. Is there anyone to mail or call?

Nothing oo and no update. And we have booked flight for her to travel by Saturday.

Winnerpoks:
Have you gotten the passport back?

Congratulations on the visa approval...
May the land of Canada favor your family..

I can testify to Mr Frank of F And R Global been a top notch professional when it comes to Canada student visa application.
He did my daughter's application too on October 11 and it came out positive on 23rd December.

Yumamm:
I should have dropped this earlier but the festivities and the magnitude of the joy of receiving PPR for my Spouse and my Son carry me go where I no know.

This whole Japa of a thing started late 2021 when some of my Spouse friends started moving to the United Kingdom. She even got admission into one of the Universities in the Uk before she changed her mind that we should try Canada instead. However, I have already developed an interest in migrating to the Uk after I discovered many of my folks are there already as well. Moving forward, we contacted an agent based in Canada to help in securing an admission for her and packaged her application but Omo, the cost was too enormous. We later got the admission through him but I had a change of mind after I came across this thread. Although to be honest, I am not good at writing so attempting Her SOP would be a disaster, Hence I contacted Mr. Frank of F&R GLOBAL to handle the application and that was the best decision I took in the year 2022. I did my background check for weeks on Mr. Frank which came out PASSED before we proceeded into the full business. There was this statement from Mr. Frank when we were talking via the phone on that blessed morning. " He said if I collect your money and block you, the police will be running after me, I won't have time to attend to other clients" I can assure you working with this man has been a blessing to my entire family because of his professionalism and humility.

My Spouse & Son Study permit Timeline:

First time Applicant!!!

Travel history: UAE.

Application Submission date: 1st of Sept,2022

Biometric date: 6th of Sept,2022 Updated same day.

Upfront Medicals date: 22nd of September and Updated on the 29th of September, 2022 after few Messages and webforms sent to Nairobi.

Eligibility Review :15th December, 2022.

PPR for Mother and Son: 28th December,2022.

Furthermore, I sent a lot of messages and webforms chai... I was following the protocols of not spamming them with messages even after the application have past the 12 weeks standard processing time. But when I read @rexokemute story, Omo I started firing messages and webforms to ROME,BEIJING,LAGOS,LONDON,ABUJA,NAIROBI,RROC and even the Main IRCC. In fact I was so tense that I even sent one message unconsciously on Saturday to NAIROBI and that was when I received the scary warning message from Nairobi to withhold my messages or else...Omo my heart beats heavily and I could not even inform my wife about it because she has already stylishly warned me not to bombard them with emails. I stopped messaging them instantly lol.

I noticed the Eligibility review started for both of them immediately after the main IRCC forwarded my webform message dated 14th of December, 2022 to Nairobi, because I could see that from the warning message they sent to me on the 17th of December,2022, That must have triggered the officer in charge to open up the files. I think sending webforms and messages to other processing offices helps more than bombarding the primary office alone because it seems they acknowledge there's more. ROME IMMIGRATION OFFICE provided me some information indirectly by replying and forwarding my messages to NAIROBI.

To Everyone expecting PPR, Please do not give up, be hopeful and try as much as possible to ignore negative thoughts, it will drop sooner than expected

You can try this number
+234 815 019 9900

You follow the instructions until you get to the final stage of speaking to a representative.

ChiPromise:

Good morning All,
Pls, did anyone that submitted passport previously, receive a message from IRCC directly notifying that their passport was received at IRCC office?
If yes, can I pls see a pic of the message or the exact message as it was received?

Thanks.

@Jonhstan pls at the Nigeria airport here what documents did they ask for?

Do they ransack the luggages at any of the airport?

And pls the yellow card how can one obtain it. And at what cost?

Am meant to understand that at Toronto, it's basically the introduction letter and passport that they usually ask for?
Did they ask for POF at the Toronto airport?

Thank you.

From your write ups here I know u are a good person. Favor and grace of God will always be with you.

johnstan:
Landing gist....

Everything from my admission to my arrival in Canada was my first attempt and I thank God for his grace.

My flight departure time was 1:40pm, it was moved to 1:20pm and I didn't know till I arrived at the airport, thankfully I was there 4 hrs to the time. See crowd (people dey really comot naija o) the place be like island market, noisy, ridiculously small, hot and unorganized.
Got in with fam members who came to see me off and firstly the scanner did not work for several minutes. When it finally worked/scanned my bags, I headed to the airline saying excuse me up n down so I could pass the crowd.
Omo despite all my arrangements the bags were 30kg each instead of 23kg each, na there I begin bargain for the excess luggage and had to settle them before I was able to check-in the bags. From there to immigration and customs, they were very fast, I only submitted my passport/tickets and filled the yellow card.
We left Lagos 40mins late cos everybody wan board at the same time, dem just dey shout *queue up, single line* but e no work. We sha boarded and damn those Ethiopian airline crew ladies fine sha.
My first flight experience and first international flight, I just dey happy dey smile like cow. Food served was actually good just that dem wan use rice choke person. Lunch and dinner na rice every time throughout all the flights.
Flight was good, got to Addis Ababa and mehn come see airport na, large, organized and finally people come queue. We did the usual scanning and routine search and joined the next flight after 2hrs layover. The descending flight at Dublin was the worst, my head wan explode, my belle just dey turning on ein own. It was as though we were falling instead of descending. After an hour of refueling we flew to Toronto from there.
Flight to Toronto was good, we arrived and met the large beautiful airport. See crowd of first time students. I could count the blacks/Nigerians, the rest were Indians/Asians.
We queued, did self declaration (arrive-can was useless) and In a few minutes we were issued our student permits (it's usually the entire duration of the visa/length of program).
Got out of the airport to pick an Uber and it was as though I walked into a deep freezer lol, I immediately wore my winter jacket ontop of the sweater I was wearing, wore my hand gloves and I was fine.

Canada is large and beautiful. Tarred roads, the express had like 10 lanes each. I was debited for the Uber ride immediately I booked unlike naija where you are billed after your ride. The driver Even stopped to buy fuel (in my mind if na naija now u fit stop dey buy fuel when my trip dey read?)

If I could do this myself, I believe anyone can and I pray that everyone still praying and hoping on God will smile at the end.

Someone said that. The stamping is been done at Abuja.

Alalade95:
