Hello Everyone,
I want to know if anyone has successfully applied for study permit for their kids when the kids are already in Canada on a visitor status. What documents did you provide?

Thanks

Either the Father or the mother must have a legal status, Study Permit, Work Permit, PR, or Citizenship before you can apply.

Regards,

Pls good day
How can I book courier service for vfs to deliver my passport
I called them and they said I should send the request through email

People are getting work permit..it only requires patience,I know of people that have gone through this and were successful,this are people that went in with visiting visa and later converted to work permit ..it requires proper guidance.quote author=AskGod07 post=123073106]
Yes so


[/quote]

Where did you submit?

Who says in person collection is not available?
I hope these guys are not trying to be smart by a way of extorting Nigerians to pay N18,710 per person.

I think France and Canada should pull from VFS so they can stop their extortion, pack their bags and do something else.

I renewed mine with 14 months left to get 10 years. In immigration terms, it is called migration. I did this last year and my friend did here last month

I went to two passport offices (Festac and Alausa) today for passport renewal, but I was turned back.

They all claimed I couldn't start the renewal process now for a passport that will expire in 11 months (the passport will expire on April 17, 2024). I was given October 18, 2023, as the earliest day I could start the renewal process.

I asked them about passport migration. They were just looking at me somehow. But one officer at Alausa said there's nothing called passport migration. He said it's called passport "re-issue". He said passport reissue is different from passport renewal.

He said I can only get my passport reissued if I have used all the pages or I want to do data correction like change of name.

@obinwanne

@baddestmaks

You are absolutely right and I also didn't want to add my input initially on this because of back and forth stuffs on here. It's clearly on the Nigerian immigration website or a Google search would have provided the accurate information that you can only renew your passport six months before expiry.

Even though we all know that in Naija there are rules and regulations but because some people bypass it or do not adhere does not mean there is no rule so we need to be providing information based on that and not I did it or someone did it one way.

Also in Immigration terms there is nothing like passport migration. It could be a slang or just something cooked up. Wishing everyone positive news on your expectations.

I think the officer is correct, but sincerely, for the passport renewal they should be able to help you in IKOYI, just that it can take up to 2 months, have you gotten a passport request already?

Let me tell you something most people that gotten their passport renew or reissue with more than 6 month validity, the immigration officer that handle the processing can run it as a lost passport in other to get a new one.

Nothing is impossible in my home country even without the applicant consent

You’re right about that because he said lost passports can be reissued immediately.

One of the officers gave me that option; he said the lost passport would be canceled from their system, and then they would issue me a new one.
