I think it depends on setting realistic deadlines.
I bought our ticket same day I sent passport to Abuja. The date was 10 weeks away (was wayyyy cheaper,less than 900k for 4 of us). Passport is back, with DHL, to be delivered to me on may 5th. Flight is still in a month's time.

Please what airline did you book with?

Morning All,

I hope you are well. We have been asked to send our passports for visa stamps as part of permanent residency. However, my son's passport expires in october and mine in January 2023.

Is there a minimum numbers of months required before passport expiry?

Kind Regards,

minimum 6 months validity on passport. any less and your passport may be returned unstamped. Best to renew your son's passport ASAP

Has anyone successfully contacted IRCC by phone in recent times? I followed the guideline provided by a kind nairalander; and hit the '0' button to 'speak to a rep' at exactly noon which is 8am Ottawa time, and still got the famous "we are experiencing a high volume of calls...' any tips please?

If your son's passport renewal is going to exceed that 30 days, my advice is submit it that way. I've seen someone here on NL that submitted with 4 months left on his passport (passport expiration)

He should also make sure to send directly to Accra VFS to eliminate unnecessary delays too

Didn’t have a loan but I’d say always attach a LOE for anything you think might be confusing. If not you’ll be having panic attacks from AOR to PPR and also to avoid ADRs.
.
Thank you. It’s just that total of POF+ the outstanding balance on the loan is not available in my account right now. I would really love to sell off the car and liquidate but my employer won’t allow me to sell as I still work with them. I’m just so confused

Best of luck and hopefully you'll campaign against buying a ticket before receiving passport + COPR. It just places one under some kind of pressure

Hahaha haha
Omo, no lies it's better to just wait for COPR before booking flight ticket. For the sake of one's sanity.
For some reasons my blood was too hot. Lol.
Thanks

Please what's the gap in your return ticket (between departure and arrival) to be eligible for PTA. Can it be more than 2 weeks?



Flight to Canada 22nd April and return flight 14th May. Roughly 3weeks .
I believe the Gap can be more. The April 22nd date was actually the reschedule date,it was originally 16th March.

Hello Nairalanders, loyal reader here...
I just got RFV email like an hour ago
CPC Ottawa
AOR August 2020
I should be rejoicing but body no gree sweet me o because I have been sending webforms (both old and new links) for over 6 weeks informing them I had a baby and I attached all documents required; the 2 IMM forms, birth cert, passport, reciept, Updated POF etc
We got med request in March and I did Upfront for my baby alongside and still sent series of webforms and even emails to Cpc and Cio... Up till now my baby is not reflecting on my CIC profile as dependent.
I have sent webforms and emails to them again with the RFV email screenshot some minutes ago.
Please, what else can I do to get their attention because with IRCC solution no dey too plenty o.
Please ejoor o biko... thank you.
Ps. I love to read PPR gists so I will definitely be sending mine in when the wait is truly over.
Thank you

I have gotten through twice in 2weeks and one thing I would suggest is to start trying from 5mins before 12 and by 11:58 you should be at the final prompt, at this time keeping pressing 9 to repeat the message with your eyes on the clock till it is 12 on the dot and press 0. Also you might want to consider a stronger internet connection. I noticed I got through when I used my mobile network compared to wifi.
All the best

Look for alternative means of funds then e.g gift deed or sale of a different property, pension funds cos what you’re saying is you don’t have the complete POF, you can’t apply without that.

In your case, the complete POF will be the amount listed for your family size plus enough money to take care of your car loan. You can’t write them a LOE saying you plan to sell the car after you quit to make up POF. That’s a risky venture.

Hello All. I would like input from anyone who has processed and got PPR while having a car loan that is deducted monthly from their account and shown on statement of account. Did you attach LOE to your application or were you silent, how do I go about this please? Note the car loan is secured with the car itself and can be sold to liquidate the loan or given back to the bank when I’m going to Canny land�.
Elders in the house please advise. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, I have received my passport and COPR. It took exactly 6 weeks from the day I dropped it off at DHL till the day it got back to me.

Here is my post-PPR timeline, hopefully it helps someone estimate when they will get their passport back:

March 23 - Dropped off passport at DHL office
March 28 - Dispatched from Lagos vfs to Accra vfs
April 6 - Package received at Accra vfs
April 6 - Package in transit to Ghana IRCC
April 20 - Package received and under process at Ghana IRCC
April 21 - Package sent to Accra vfs by Ghana IRCC
April 22 - Package received by Accra vfs
April 22 - Package sent to Lagos vfs
April 27 - Package received by Lagos vfs
April 28 - Package picked up (for delivery)
May 4 - Package delivered to me

I give God all the glory!

Yes i believe you’re paying for it to go to Lagos VFS. Unless you want to bypass all of that and send directly to accra VFS for faster processing. The procedure for that is on this thread somewhere.
Please I have been reading post of people sending their Passport to Accra vfs, though I did my biometric Capturing in Lagos and other processes does it mean I could have also sent it to VFS Accra, because since I got PPR and sent it to Lagos VFS, it's been over 2months of waiting for final decision letter now, is the wait right
