Hello, can anyone help me with information on how to go about my passport collection, we submitted at Lagos office, but I tracked the passport and it says it ready for pick up in Abuja, I tried to arrange for courier when I submitted to Lagos but one fraudulent woman that attended to me insisted that I pay 120k for courier service. How can I access the courier service from the website, I can’t find it. If anyone has done it recently can you put me through me

Same issue happened to one of my relatives, and I helped him to sort it out by chatting with VFS customer service. His passport was in Lagos, but the tracker showing ready for pick up in Abuja.

If your submission center is at VFS Lagos, then you don't need to stress yourself because your passport will be couriered from Abuja to VFS Lagos.

Also, since you know your tracking number, you can chat with the VFS customer service team in the morning, and they will tell you the actual location of your passport because the tracking information is not always accurate.

Use Vancouver airport as your port of entry, you can then fly to Nanaimo or use ferry and bus.

Booking 7 or more days is not going to be any problem once you have funds and accommodation to show for the duration of your intended stay.


Thank you so much for the information, I will proceed on the bookings

If you wish to arrive in British Columbia (BC), your port of entry is Vancouver (YVR), and then you can go via domestic routes (Busline & Car ferry, or by flight).
Going by Car Ferry is the cheaper route if you plan to save cost.
Nanaimo is on Vancouver Island and you land at YVR - Richmond, Vancouver.

You can book your 7 days, and let your conference date be within it (can always tell the border officer that you intend to visit around the city for a few days as it is your first time visiting the city.


Thanks so much, this will help me a lot as I will proceed with my bookings immediately, do you mean I can also land at YVR Richmond, Vancouver straight from Nigeria?

Please try and get it to avoid last minute disappointment cos it will still be requested once the bank reviews your PTA application.

All the best.
Thank you so much..I have the TCC already...I just didn't see where to upload it on CBN portal

They’ll probably update your application to submit tax clearance certificate too. If you go into Stanbic to get the pta, they always ask. They asked me.

Okay...thanks so much for your help

Thanks a lot but I am not in Lagos anymore, so I need to send it through courier to my new location, is there a way I can apply for the courier service through the website without going through those people in the VFS office, because they didn’t even give me a confirmation slip of submission, because they wanted bribe. I have submitted my passport before to VFS and I didn’t face all these. I just need the information for courier so I can pay online without paying bribe.

Hey !

@ Hamed.

You can register for a conference yourself..use Google to search for a better conference and if you want to register let it be at least 3 to 5 days conference and make sure it's relevant to your work or your skill . Embassy won't give visa to every one going for just 1 day conference in Canada after spending approximately million in visa processing.

There is God ...Don't give up .

Hello house, please the Visa Officers is there any other way they can read compressed PDF document? When I use their specification to resize my document for the 2MB file limit, I can’t properly read it from my end because the characters are not legible.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by cutelukz: 8:10am On Nov 15, 2023
It’s better you upload it now. Sometimes they call you and ask you to upload it, sometimes they outrightly reject your application without calling you. You can upload more documents by clicking on the “Add” sign.

Hello everyone, Please I will like to know how long it takes for someone to do biometric capturing after submission of application. Your response will help me to program my planned journey Lagos as I work in a remote area. I'm about to take a 2weeks break from work.

You asked a question that doesn't have an answer. You are in the best position to answer your question as such that you are to apply for a date after payment of both Visa fees and biometric respectively. You can check your mail and click..... Then you will be giving a date

Yes i travelled with it to birth my baby over there and came back.
Now i want to go back and the reason I stated was to take my child who is a Canadian citizen to see our family doctor over there.

My current visa would expire soon.

Hopefully they answer me fast


Do you include a letter from the said family doctor in canada becos having a kid in canada will not make ur applicatiom express but it will be term urgent only if u can proof the trip is for urgent medical reason backed by doctor letter.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Slimbae2: 2:11pm On Nov 15, 2023
Congratulations
Please can you send me ur email,I want to ask some questions thank you

uote author=babs4all post=126869468]Good morning folks.
I submitted my application on October 6th.
Biometrics: 26th October. Though I have done one before that will expire in 2027 so I opted for another Biometrics.
Received Passport submission request today 9th November.
I just booked passport submission appointment.

Travel History:
Valid USA Visa used in July this year.
Expired unused USA visa
Expired UK Visa.
Expired Schengen Visas.

Glory to be God.
Thanks for the info from here as well.
I never used any agent in my life. I am an advocate of doing it yourself. Be patient and diligent. Check every detail.
I was rejected by Canada in 2017. I reapplied in January 2020. Covid-19 came and that application is still open till today.
USA has rejected my applications 3 times in the past.
UK also rejected me once.
So I reapplied to Canada this year.

Keep the hope alive.

Good luck to other expectants. [/quote]

On the CBN trade portal, there is an option to add documents. Click on "ADD" and then upload the TCC and name it as such.

All the best

Once you get your biometric letter, which can come within 24 hours or more after you submitted your application online, you can go ahead and book an appointment with VFS for biometric.

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by lovable85(f): 4:40pm On Nov 15, 2023
That is long overdue, try calling ircc and also raise a web form, I’m guessing your application is with the London visa office, hence the delay

You should start counting from the date after biometric which may be 3 months or more. Although 5 months is long most especially at this period.

The supreme court in the UK has ruled against the government’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, describing it as unlawful.



Please, how about asylum seekers in Canada?
Is possible to claim asylum upon arriving with VV in Canada POF? Any candid advice or more info on this
of course you can apply at POF, after one year your frivolous claims thrown out of the window wink

Your passport has been with VFS/IRCC since July 18th? There is a 90% possibility that your passport has been stamped and awaiting pickup. But the incompetent VFS failed to update you.

Someone in the WhatsApp group also had same issue. He had to go pick up his stamped passport last week after waiting for almost a month with no update.

Check your IRCC dashboard if your visa details has been updated.

Hi,

I sort of have the same issue. Didn't take that long though. I had to send them an email after waiting for an update without getting any and then they mentioned it's ready for pick up but my application status on my IRCC portal hasn't changed.

Please, Is this normal?
