Hello guyz, I have BVL and PPR for TRV, however the earliest appointment I can obtain to submit my passport to VSF is next month. Pls how can i get a faster submission date. Pls advise. Thanks

You can submit through courier

Emmafe:
If the brother is sponsoring her 5k cad is fine just to show she’s doing well in naija. If she’s sponsoring herself 10k cad is cool.

Ok…thanks. just thinking about the new exchange rate now
Is better to add more
Or what do you think

Not sure what the latter means but you will have to upload supporting documents for each person.

As it's a family trip, itineraries, budgets and even activities might be similar for all so I won't be overly concerned there.

PS: Just a reminder as extensively discussed here, for all kids over 21 years old, they will have to qualify for a visa on their own as well as any support that you may offer or demonstrate for them will only be supplementary.

They won’t need to pay since it’s Abuja they had der biometrics. If they’re picking up no extra charges, if they want home delivery Dey will pay 30k+ to vfs courier.

Thanks for the response. Since it’s 2 people under one application, is the 30k for both or individual and please who is VFS courier, is it DHL or another company?

[ is upss courier,but I advise you to go pick up ur self it is ready because der courier service is so poor and d delay is muchquote author=ashiwajew post=124406437]

You pay per applicant, 30k is just for one person. Vfs use ups as der courier third party, but it’s vfs you’ll pay.

That was why I use cad not naira. Use the latest rate for the conversion. For self sponsoring, 10k cad is okay for a 10days trip provided the brother will help with accommodation.

What I meant is , if I’m uploading all I have started above under my own application, should I do the same for my kids or just upload what concerns each child ?

Given you are the sponsor, your ties (familial, economic etc.) are important to support their application, especially if they are under 21 as just shared.

For any one over 21, all your supporting documents + any additional proof of ties for them e.g. any Pet Project they are involved in at school or at work could be useful.

Yes I understand but what I mean is when I’m uploading it , do I upload the same thing under everybody portal , or I should be specific. For example I upload birth certificate , house papers and the rest under mine , should I do the same for them too or I should just upload just their school papers and birth certificate with sponsorship letter ?

I'd say yes but customized e.g. each kids' doc will contain all of your supporting docs, birth certificate & photos to show relationship with the sponsor and the rest of the travel group, school files (transcripts etc), cover letter outlining purpose of trip including itinerary, sponsorship letter highlighting all the ties & financial capabilities.

Basically I advise to treat each as an individual application on the off chance that it is not reviewed by the same visa officer.

If it's an overkill, you can leave out things like house documents etc from their docs.

As always, this is based solely on my opinions.

Thanks for the prompt response. So we pay 30k to UPS for each applicant so that payment is for both taking the passport for stamping and delivering right? What if I want them to only take the passport for visa stamping and I want to pick up myself?

Emmafe:

Their site says 18,710 starting from July 10.

No o. You can’t use courier for two way delivery. You’ll only pay UPS money for taking the passport to vfs. If you can’t pickup, you’ll pay delivery money to vfs, they will assign ups to run the delivery. On the price I’ve seen ppl mentioned they increased it to 30k+, I just saw another post it’s 18,710 from July 10. So pls confirm

SweetJJ:

I’ve seen ppl quote it’s more 30k+, I don’t even know which is correct again.

They didn’t send anything. I had to go to their office

Hello pls is anyone else experiencing this? What could be the problem?

dammodee911:

Same here. Maybe they are doing their weekly maintenance. Check back in few hours!

Emmafe:
Use courier to send it, u don’t need appointment for that.

Thank you
So send to VFS or the Canadian high commission ?

dammodee911:
Hello pls is anyone else experiencing this? What could be the problem?

I think they are doing maintenance.

Good morning everyone
I submitted my passport this week Tuesday in Lagos I haven’t receive any message from them, pls how can I chat them

Sundayolayemi:
Good day Guys,


Please I have a very important question.
I got a visiting Visa and also I got a 3 days Conference booked.

Now the issue is I'm about to book my 2 way ticket,
The return date, with it be immediately after the conference? Reason for this question is that I have plans to stay and have some fun and experience after the conference, so should the return date be 4 months after entering? And if so, hope it won't cause an issue at the POE.

And If you have a better way I can go about this, I'll appreciate.Thank you very much.

Congrats on getting your visit visa approval. I dont have an answer to your question but would like to know how you applied for the conference and then visit visa most especially with the timelines as I know Visit visa applications takes very long when applied from within Nigeria because this is a route I'm seriously considering.

I look forward to your response.

The chat page is not opening. Please can u send me the page link you used Please. Though UPS delivered to vfs on Wednesday.

Lyoncrescent:


I submitted my Payslip as additional document. I submitted a letter from my organisation stating they will pay for the entire trip. I also submitted a letter of invitation sent by the organisation in Canada. Also submitted soft copy of my NIN. That's all I submitted. I did not attach my bank statement. I did not attach any property documents.

However the copy of the letter of invitation I submitted was sent to the Canadian high commission in Nigeria by the organisation in canada before I made the application. All the best.

Please I like to know the idea sending the letter of invitation to the Canadian high commission in Nigeria before submitting the application.

1) what did they now do with the letter? was it just to be signed or what exactly?
2) Was the decision to send to the Canadian high commission in Nigeria as a result of your sponsoring organisation being a government parastatal?

Thank you.

Newbiein2016:
Could you add latest transcripts as well if available as the goal is to point out that these kids have to return to complete school.

Anything that can prove your ties needs to be added e.g. I recall a friend who was the chair of their 'ajo' meeting of 35 persons included a signed statement regarding their end of year party to drive home her own ties. She also had the church send a stamped letter as part of some festive events she was leading (and as a bona-fide and active church member). I thought it was funny but after thinking it through, it made sense.

Point being, Canada is quite finicky with tourist visas and they'll always err on the side of caution if they have any concern, whatever you think will help, include it.

Re: flight and hotel, I always include those in visa applications as I don’t see anything wrong here. I go for book on hold and/or options with free cancellation. Never pay for any of these without a confirmed visa.

Hello boss, please which platforms can i book flights and hotel with free cancellation?

ejanla10:
Hi is it possible to enter Canada with a visitor visa for a conference but the conference has ended and I was giving visa and what can I do to extend my stay in Canada please I need your advice

Hello bro, congrats on your visa.your post suggests they approved your visa application even when the conference date had passed.

Pease can you share your timelines here?
