I applied for Canada visa for my parents and it was approved within 30 days. They are to submit at VFS LAGOS, please do they need to pay any other money aside the processing fee 38500 and can they process DHL for delivery when passport is ready for return? Thank you.

What’s the problem can’t I congratulate myself in advance? Can’t you just read and pass

I dont knw what u mean by processing fee of 38,500. As long as am concerned, if they did their biometrics in lagos, they need not pay any money except they want to make use of the delivery service. They had to pay a one way return service, though i dont knw how much it is now.

Tootfred:
Thank you for your feedback, they submitted this morning. They paid a total of 149,000
38500 per person for transfer to the visa stamping location and 36000 per person to DHL back to them.

Hello all, what's the new rule on passport submission? Is appointment needed to submit passports. My parent intends to go submit their passport at VFS tomorow morning.

I had tried booking appointment but the appointment portal only brought out the "biometrics" option.

My question is "Is an appointment required for submission of passports at VFS Lagos"?

Thank you.

Good evening great minds, I applied for visiting visa by myself using the new portal on 7th September. I used to receive verification codes to login to my page through my email. Unfortunately on 23rd of October I permanently lost my Gmail account to hacker and Google permanently locked the account, I appealed but my appeal was discarded. To cut the story short, I can't login to my ircc page and no access to my email. I called all the numbers of ircc available online they were not picking, I filled out a webform for a change of Email address which they said will take 5 business days, but up till now I still don't have access. Please what can I do because I know I will definitely get solutions here. Thanks guys.



Please guys what else can I try.

Pls for clarity sake, who did they pay d money to? Is lagos not their biometrics center? Which one is transfer to the visa stamping location?

Thankfully my Canada visitor visa has been approved after several months of waiting!

The best available ticket from LOS-YYZ is United Airlines with a layover in Washington Dulles Airport. I'm aware that I would have to go through customs in Washington and would need to get my luggage and re-check for my connecting flight to Toronto, I also have a U.S. visa so I should be fine getting through.

Is 4 hours enough time to go through this whole process or would it be recommended to go for a longer transit time instead? Has anyone gone to Canada from Naija via a U.S. transit?

Thanks.

Tootfred:
Honestly, i queried it, because i wonder why they had to pay that much. They have their biometric valid till 2028, so they didnt need biometrics, but the processing fee was 38500 per person and to DHL back to them was 36000 per person which was exorbitant.
They also changed them 1200 each to photocopy 2 pages of biodata
Also to be certain they paid to the right people is the VFS office now on the ground floor? They said it has so many cubicles.
Just to be certain they went to the right place.
That was why I asked the questions yesterday to get help, but no response.
It is well!!

yoyome20:
I think someone mentioned here that you could just go to the VFS office and submit without booking an appointment. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Deeegbee:
Always read, he already stated he has a valid US Visa!!

Bigkenny:
Go through his post again, you will see where the OP said "I also have a US visa".

Hello all,

The tour I booked on TripAdvisor were all cancelled. What xoukd ve the problem and hope this won't affect my application??

humblemoi:
When did you submit your application and when is the tour scheduled for? Lastly, did you put in any card details?

NowisGod109:
I am submitting tomorrow. Still merging docs. I just checked my mail now and I saw cancellation notice. I used my gtb $$ card whc I entered. I intend submitting like that without booking them again. I hope it won't affect it

humblemoi:
To be fair, no one knows if it will sway the decision making. The best you can do is to just package your application watertight to ensure you have done your best and whatever the outcome, you wouldn't feel bad. What other folks do is to just write out their proposed plans in a statement of explanation and then, hope for the best.
If you considered booking a tourist package, it could expire before you get the decision, so just go with what you have in mind.

Opeyemi007:
4 hours might be short o, but it depends on the passenger traffic when you land. I spent more than two hours on the queue in Miami before I could clear immigration. Before getting your checked in luggage and checking in for the other flight which might be in another terminal, it might be too tight.

Hello house,
I’m about to apply for a visit visa for myself and my mum. I’m confused by the old and new portal. PLEASE is there any advantage of using either the old or new portal. I read that I might not be able to apply for someone using the new portal. Thank you All.
