After i received the PPR letter
I sent both passports via DHL to VFS Abuja (Both in the same envelope). All documents requested including the payment receipts enclosed in the envelope

I received email 3 days after that my passport was receiving attention at IRCC office Abuja

it took about 10 days for me to receive the passport back

Please do you mean you later paid the 37,420 to VFS again for the collection or thats what you paid when you were submitting the passport?

Hello everyone, My TRV is about to be approved(got the final decision email) but I just got a new international passport.
Old passport expires in January 2024
I’m worried raising a web form will delay the application again…
Has anyone had this experience??
Confused on what to do.

If you have clicked Tourism and didn’t ask about the hotel details, you shouldn’t be worried I believe. Just upload the necessary documents in the additional documents section.


Good-luck.

Regards,


Oh thanks for this information. Just what i thought too. Thank you so much...Another question please sir, do you think 4 million in my Salary account and $2000 in my dollar account is enough to show proof of funds? secondly, do i need medicals to apply for a tourist visa? what documents do i take to the biometric when going? thanks.

I paid the courier before sending via DHL. The receipt of payment was part of what I included in the envelope plus my passport and sent via DHL



I didn’t pay for courier to be sent back to me. I thought VFS will notify me and then I will now make payment for it to be sent back to me

I applied for Visit visa to Canada in March 2000 from Lagos; then Covid came and my passport was returned after some months with the promise that the application is on queue for processing. I never believed anything will be done until I got a passport request two days ago. I am not in Nigeria now but in the UK on student visa. How do I get my passport to the Visa application centre in Lagos or to the Canadian embassy?
Please, I need your input/ suggestions.
Thank you.

Responding to your first question, Yes, your common-law partner can come with you.
In our case, my employer is sponsoring me, and I am sponsoring her.

Regarding your second question, ensure that appropriate documents showing your relationship are attached to your application such as pictures of you together, shared bills, shared address etc. Also attach docs to show her home ties as well, e.g work contract, study certificate, residence card etc.

My Timeline:
Applied : 29th Apr 2023
Biometrics : 8th May
BVL & PPR : 25th May

My Fiance :
Applied : 30th Apr
Biometrics : 12th May

Thanks to all the guidance received from the responses in this thread. May God grants us all his divine success in the name of Jesus. Amen

Hello House,

1st, I receive PPR email on 13th June, I submitted my Passport, wife's passport and my baby's passport the next day 14th June. How long does it usually take to stamp the passport?

2nd, our application was done in December 2021, at the time, the application was for me and my wife but we have a daughter now. Though, we are using agent but I would like to know how to go about securing a visiting visa for our 9-month old baby.

Your swift response will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

You should be fine. Your N4 million is equivalent to CAD$6400 and the US$2000 is around CAD$2600 as of today. This means you have around CAD$9000.

You don’t need medical for visitor’s visa. I believe that cash should be ok.

Exchange rate for Canada visa as of June 23.
Nigerian naira NGN = 0000.00173780
N4000000 = CAD$6951

United States $. = 0001.32271000
$2000. = CAD$2645

Confused on what to do.

I raised a webform for hubby and his tracker was updated with the new passport and visa extended.

Raise a webform, send emails and also attach a copy of the written email in the envelop while submitting his passport.

I did all these and his passport details was updated on the portal with visa extended to 7years instead of 8months.

You can submit your passport over there in UK.

Call or visit Canada visa application center in London. Ask them how to go about it.

You will be charged £16.45 for document transmission fees.

Me: To visit my wife
Cbsa: What’s your wife’s status
Me: She’s a student
Cbsa: Can you show me a copy of her study permit
Me: Showed him on my phone

Stamped my passport n that was all.

I remember we discussed this issue of one-way vs. round-trip tickets some weeks ago here on nairaland.

We Nigerians like to make things difficult for ourselves.

If you are traveling internationally as a tourist with a visitor's visa, you must have a round-trip ticket.

A one-way ticket can only be used for travel by people who have a work visa or permit, a study visa or permit, or an immigrant visa.
