How I sent my Passport to Abuja.

I did my Biometrics in Lagos but I sent my passport to Abuja,
So I had to pay a transmission fee of NGN 8,920 to this account
CANADA LOGISTIC COLLECTION ACCOUNT (a/c no 0065165839) sterling bank.

I bought a fresh brown envelope and added the following documents, so follow:

- Your International Passport itself (That your passport !!)

- Print only 1 copy of the transmission fee payment receipt and put in your envelope

- 2 copies of your passport data page (I printed it in colored copy)

- Those stapled papers that was given to you after the completion of your Biometrics (put them as it is [original copy] not the photocopy)

- The PPR letter (1 copy)

- 2 copies of the Consent form (I filled and signed the second page only) . Download the consent from here: https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/dominicanrepublic/pdf/Consent-Form-TTS-English.pdf


- A plain sheet of paper where you can write your address and phone number (this is not really needed though, but I added it)
NOTE: I paid for 2 ways Courier at DHL and insured it to and fro

2 courier means: As I am sending my passport to Abuja, I want Abuja to send back my STAMPED passport to the address I stated on the Courier

Guys how do I submit my passport?

Gold4sure1:
Finally!!! PPR after 5pm the and two weeks, Lord I’m grateful, thank you so much guys for keeping my hope alive���

Congratulations � so happy for you �

considering that they have treated your passport. What will sending through webform mean now? Will they recall the passport or it will aid renewal when by next year May when this issued one expires.

I already have the new LOA but I didn't just upload, should I upload now because my passport has also been treated.

sirenoel:
Yes, I plan to send my via webform once I receive it from my school so I don't have issueson arrival in CA. For some reason, its been taking ages to be sent.

I added the BVL paper instead of the stapled biometric papers and mine still got treated.
So I think for those who can't find their stapled biometric papers, the BVL printout can also work.

May 6th applicant. Second application.

May God Make It Easy For Us All

Omiinii:
You re-paid the application fee right? And sent an explanation too and they still slammed you with another PFL. This is what happens when you respond to PFL without professional guidance. In all I hope you sort it out soonest. The gurus here will help you.

you just spoke my mind.

TheGbemisola:
Not another pfl o. The first one was only a message that i was owing them 235 cad and i repaid and explained only to get an official PFL 12 days later. Worked on the letter and added proof and i want to know the right channel to submit it the letter.

for you to reply a pfl you need a lawyer's guidance. And you should notarize it before you send it. Sending you an official pfl means the officer might be thinking of giving you a ban. You should get a lawyer to help you with an appropriate reply and should be notarized before sending it. I hope you haven't replied .

In addition to the bolded,

For those that do not have the Biometrics paper again, your submission of your BVL(the immediate document that drops before your Original passport Letter) will do..

Peace

Her case is even better she'll sort it out maybe her response was too weak of a reason that they weren't convinced. There's someone in my DM that said he knows he sent fake bank statements but only one of those bank statements did IRCC claim was fake. I just dey laugh inside. E get mind send 3 fake bank statements one for father, one for sponsor and one for applicant. I don't even know if someone can escape such a predicament. I told him off but he's still insisting that some people have used these fake bank statements and are in canada now. Na people like that dey spoil our imagine. Na God go punish them last last

I submitted my cv (Canadian format), my transcript (the school stated 75% cgpa but I'm sure it doesn't matter), statement of purpose.

My PPR journey

It's been Grace nothing else!

First time applicant

LoA @ Conestoga college: Dec 11 2020
•study visa application submitted: July 19th 2021
•Biometrics letter: July 20th 2021
•Biometrics completed and updated: July 22nd 2021
•Upfront Medical done: Jan 10 2021(months before applying for my visa)

•BVL/ppr: October 26th 2021

My story
I got my admission into Conestoga College to study Construction management with coop (2 years program) Admitted for fall 2021. I deferred almost immediately to winter 2022 so as to enable me have enough time for researching on how best to submit a nice application (i have later realised that the success of this journey is in no way by my power, it's been Grace)

Prior to applying to Conestoga, I had gotten admission into Carleton uni for meng prog in civil Engr. I also had $25k loan from MPOWER financing for my offer at Carleton.

I was about preparing my visa doc when I stumbled on some posts on Nairaland emphasizing on coop opportunities. Since my offer at Carleton did not provide coop, I opted for Conestoga. This choice was also at the expense of losing the loan from MPOWER as they do not offer loan for pgd/pgc programs.

As a self sponsor, Frankrobbn advised that it's best to show pof of the total duration of study as against showing pof for first year only. Tuition is approximately 18kcad per year (36kcad for 2 years) + 20kcad for living expense for 2 years. Frankrobbn insisted that I show a pof greater than 56kcad for total duration of study.

This seemed impossible but God in his infinite mercy provided assistance as well as the wisdom to solve the challenge. Myself and Frankrobbn brainstormed on how best to tell a convincing story to the visa officer as follows;

I theoretically expanded my dads computer engineering firm to include a construction arm. Since this will not reflect in the cac document, I had to do some serious explanation in my sop. I deliberately did this to help strengthen my home tie further claiming that id return to fully manage the biz (just as most of us applicants would always say ). I then compelled/convinced/forced/pressured/begged my dad to send me some money monthly (salary simulation) for 6 months (from Jan to June). Not that he was financially buoyant enough, God did His thing.

Employment
1. Project director at my fathers company (part time) - Gof tech Ltd

2. Construction sales engineer at a multinational company (full time) - Mbcc ltd

education
BTech in civil engineering 2016.
_Note that I was almost about to complete a masters in civil engineering at Uni of Ibadan, but I did not disclose this in my application._

_I also ensured that my Linkedin account as well as other relevant social media profile maintained these stories._

7. Cert in HSE 1 & 2

10. Complimentary and biz card from both companies.

7. I mentioned my girlfriend as a home tie (showed photos of us together in some outings and claimed id marry her someday) ;Dmaybe it worked, who knows.


Special appreciation
First and foremost to God and my parents. My dad used to pray only on crossover night. The intensity of his prayers increased when I applied for my visa. My mum, she loves prayers more than her husband.

Frankrobbn. Really, I can't stress how good he is, especially when it comes to telling stories and brainstorming ideas to convince the visa officer. Yes I paid for his service, I was more than willing to - considering the high number of success rates and testimonies shared all around by several applicants who have employed his service.

Other particular gurus on NL such as Ralphudoh, Chocs, Justmellow and Lekiboboe(now canadaboboe ). These gurus helped in answering my tonnes of questions.

My bosses at work were so understanding and helpful. It's a peaceful feeling to have non toxic employers.

My friends Aminat (now at Cornell uni, New York), Mujib (uni of Toronto), Mubarak (uni of Alberta). These 3 idiotic geniuses helped me a lot on my SOP with corrections & proofreading's.

Lessons learnt in this journey
1. A cheerful giver will never lack. Showing good deeds has it's way of coming back to bless the giver in multiple folds.
2. Be hungry for knowledge, do a lot of research (homework). Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.
3. Having and developing a cycle of good friends have a powerful impact on ones intellect, financial and physical health.
4. God factor can never be overemphasized.

To all PPR hopefuls, God will grant you all your heart desires. To all approved applicants, may we all excel globally.

Congratulations brother, I'm so happy for you, thank you for your help during my first application, may Canada favour you in Jesus name. Amen

Jay316:
she has not replied us since last night.I may be wrong but am beginning to doubt the Authenticity of that account statement from her dad.IRCC must have seen something to send that procedural fairness later.I hope am wrong for her sake though

Good morning Jay.
I appreciate your response. You should know situations like this could cause emotional trauma.
However, @omiini felt I wasn’t serious by asking questions when an answer has been given, hence my silent.

so I’m traveling to see my father so I can monitor everything myself and get the MBS and other letter I need to proof this.

Thanks

Good morning guysss

I complained earlier that iom abuja has not gotten back to me concerning my medicals that was done on the 14th of October and also has not updated my medicals to pass. The date given to me by IRCC is expiring on the 29th. Please what should I do I’m sending them mails, calling them but no one’s responding ���

Please I need helppppppp

Don't take it the wrong way. I felt your situation needed urgency!. You posted yesterday that you had 15 days left. Now you have 14 days. I too was emotional for you. It's not meant to punch down on you I just wanted you to see how I view your situation and act fast. However that's not even the main concern now praise there's no time to be shifting blames. Please travel as soon as possible and fix this problem so that all of us will be happy. Good luck my friend.

Thank you for your reply. I now understand

Please what are the Options for the courses we can apply for and should we do masters or Pgd.

I look forward to your response.

I added the BVL paper instead of the stapled biometric papers and mine still got treated.
So I think for those who can't find their stapled biometric papers, the BVL printout can also work.

@Kendrickkk

You might just have been lucky, I’d suggest those that did not have the stapled biometric papers should still attempt to get it.

the truth is they would have sent your medicals. I did on the 13th in Abuja too so I don't see any reason why they should delay your result.
Send mails to them and keep calling and if you can go back to there, try to visit. I hope you already uploaded the proof that you have completed your medicals??

atiteb4:
y not go to the hospital? Keep sending emails too.

I have read from someone else on this platform who also did the same thing and my discussion with a friend in Canada was that it wasn't part of the requirements though its fine if one puts it.

So I guess for anyone who still has the stapled slips should include as it does not hurt and for those who can't find theirs, they should add the BVL printout. God will help us all

gracedson:

does VAC reissue the stapled papers if someone has lost the one they issued initially??

what if the person has done biometrics say like 5years ago and can't find those slips again??
