Naim be the friend

Lmao Na true Now the question he asked about his fate makes sense.

jhorjhor:
I applied for e-passport at akure office since August last year. I've been going there for collection and they keep telling me to come back. It has been over a year since i did capturing. I do not even know if the whole thing is successful as I can't trace it on the website. Please advise me on next course of action

This is serious ooo! Please go to the office and request to see the PCO. Also go to twitter to complain and tag everyone taggable.

Udobigj:
Good day all, pls a friend is processing Canada visa since January, went for biometrics since April and his passport was submitted too but it's taking time, and he calls me like twice a week because I connected him to the one processing it, pls what's my fate the he will get it

The only fate I see here is you being arrested for Introducing your gullible friend to a fraudulent agent. I don see scam wey be say agent carry dem go Ghana go do ‘biometrics’. You will learn my brother, you will.

MalcomX009:
I applied for passport I did capturing august 22 2022. Since then I was able to track my passport progress online and it was all ticked to production pending just waiting to be issued. I tracked yesterday it said application not found so I chilled and tried again today it worked but it wasn’t ticked even payment, nin verification all wasn’t ticked but it was ticked before.. any idea what could’ve happened?

I captured on the 4th of August as well and tracked it yesterday and a day before when I saw the complaint from a few people on this page, mine was like that too. Just checked now and it’s back to normal, i.e passport pending production. Guess it was a network glitch or something. Nevertheless, I will be going there (Alausa) next week to know if my passport is out. Can’t wait to get it and never have to deal with those people for the next 10 years!

Afmaag123:
Thats what i intend to do honestly.

I paid 70k for a 64 pages 10 years passport. DIY and yet to get my passport though. But charging you 84k for a booklet of 35k is outrageous yet you are yet to get the passport since July. Of what use? Please get your money back if you can.

Afmaag123:
Please has anyone received 64 pages passport recently from Festac?
I captured since 29th July and up till now, am yet to receive it. I even paid an agents who processed everything for me and she 85k for 64 pages 5 years. Please can anyone help. I need this passport urgently.
I just tracked now and this is what am seeing.

To think the official price for a 5 years 64 pages passport for Lagos, Abuja and Rivers state only is 35k and she overcharged you, yet she is yet to deliver. If I were you, I would be calling her to return the extra money else you will walk up to their PCO to report her. A lady here changed it for one of them and she got her money back. There is no fast track in your case any more, you don turn DIY. You can visit their office to know the status of your application while asking for a refund from the thieving agent.

ednut1:
you even put your name there. How stupid can you be . You think visa officers are not on nairaland

The kind of risk some folks take ehn

Dimple10:
My people!!! I am reporting live from NE, Calgary Alberta.

Landing gist coming soon.

Oshey, let start popping corns

Alekhine:
Hello Team,

I have a question, I recently received my COPR and thinking of getting married before travelling.
What will be the best approach here?
Is there anyone who has gone through the same thing recently i.e. updating IRCC of change in status and submitting extra documents. How long did the process take?
Any and every information is appreciated.
Thanks.

Why are you reposting when about to 2 to 3 people already gave you a response and even pointed you to someone who was in the same shoe as yours? Is there any other answer you want that you are yet to get?

kennylee:

Stop misleading people jhur . I applied for a friend yesterday and his capturing date is October 26 (FESTAC)

LIVINGICONREBOR, there you go.

LIVINGICONREBOR:


Damn!!
So it is very possible that in lagos,the capturing dates might in February for the DIYs

Thanks.

Some one on this thread said he registered for his friend yesterday or two days ago and he got October 26. Don’t judge it by that though.

Aniejasmine:


You missed it most likely because it quickly went from that to people arguing about when a landed person becomes a PR and all that jazz which was distracting and a lot. It became a side topic, courtesy this screenshot posted in the group. It bothered a friend who’s already received ITA cos she was considering declining it etc. hence my coming on here to ask.

Lol, you see that group, just filter what you read, some people confidently say things they know nothing about as if they were there when they were making the policies

Aniejasmine:
I’m a member on this telegram group, the discussion today made me so confused. Basically the info a group member shared today says that if you’re trying to claim sibling points for EE, it’s best to get out of the pool and get back in. Versus updating your profile when your sibling lands and this was the cause of the argument. I assumed the whole point of being able to update your profile is so you can quickly update any changes versus having to start all over from scratch to set up a profile.

I initially believed as long as you have every document required at the time of submission of application, does it matter if your sibling landed before you created your profile or after your profile was created ?

I think I know the group you are talking about, I must have missed the part of the argument that has your statement in bold or you misunderstood the argument. However just like Gracious Words said, you can update your profile once your sibling lands and you don’t need to create a new profile.

didismyname:
Dear comrades,
Please am asking this on behalf of my buddy. He recently received ITA but yet to submit. He has good travel history with loads of stamps but 2 visa refusals. One US refusal in 2018 and a recent Schengen visa refusal. He reported thé US refusal but dosent want to report the Schengen visa since it was not stamped on his passport. Please what do u advice?

Keeping up with this attitude will most like earn your friend a 5 years ban. A word is enough for the wise.

Ruthie0224:


This is what they gave me after I captured

Please what does it mean?

Did you do DIY?

Shpc:
Hello everyone,

I'm new here, got an invitation to submit for SINP last week, I have been given 2 months as deadline to submit application, it was stated that the proof of fund must have been in my account for 3months before submission, but i don't have that yet, trying to get it from a family friend this week and put in a fixed deposit, so i can submit a fixed deposit certificate. My question now is will this be accepted even though the date of deposit will be less than 3 months, has anyone tried it before. Or should I reject the offer and start over again. Please gurus in the house what do you suggest. Thank you.

No, they will not accept it if your POF is not 3 months prior to your submission date. A requirement is in fact what it means, a requirement! If you do not meet up with the 3 months duration, in your best interest, it’s advisable for you to decline the ITA and wait to get another invite.

whales84:
Good morning Good people !

My name Abidoye Wale Tosin from Nigeria.
I recently got selected in the SINP draw conducted by Saskatchewan Province on Aug. 11th , 2022.

Here is my plight
Although, I did not meet the required score for selection for Database Analyst, which is 70, My agent indicated while applying for my Saskatchewan Provincial Nomination that I have Connection to Saskatchewan Labour Market & Adaptability (Close relative) which automatically gave me an additional 20 points to score. By the way, 65 was my score without a connection to a relative and She did this without my consent.

Now I have till Oct 10th to submit my documents in order to be eligible for SINP.

Please, I need help from any well-meaning person from saskatchewan who can help me out with solving this problem as soon as possible.

The best thing for you is to decline that ITA and not allow your agent ruin your chances at relocation.

Ruthie0224:


Please how do you check your collection date?

It’s stated on the confirmation slip that is given to you after capturing. But that date na wash if you captured in Lagos.

chiada:
Pls ooo my people, I want to ask a question. I was having a discussion with someone who was nominated by a particular province. According to her application, she mentioned a particular city in the province where her sponsor stays.

Now, the bone of contention is that she will not be staying in that city indicated in her application but another, however she will maintain same PNP province.

Is it right?

I told her she MUST stay compulsorily in the city and province indicated in her application but she is saying her sponsor said it is not mandatory she stays in the city, however it is a must she must reside in the nominating province.

How true is this?

If it’s Manitoba, she needs to stay in the same city or town as her sponsor else she will ruin her sponsor’s chances of sponsoring another person and it might also come back to bite her in the butt most especially if she got the extra regional points. However, I don’t think it’s compulsory for Saskatchewan.

ednut1:
then you never ready, why not google the acronyms. if you are not ready to do the work, get a licensed agent who will charge you N1.5m plus. The choice is yours. yeye dey smell

I dey find money as I dey like this as salary is not enough in this our economy, make dem pay me oooo , I no go even charge up to that and I will do more a perfect job even more than a licensed consultant will do : D

Infodino77:


So far you will do your Biometric at the Embassy no Wahala,how much is the total package ?and how long it took before your sponsorship came out ?

It’s a SCAM, can’t you read between the lines? You are even making enquiries so you will possibly look into the possibility of doing such? I have heard of a scam where the werey agent took them to Ghana to do biometrics, it still ended up being a scam.

ciwi:
Gurus in the house, I know this may have been answered but I’ve checked the thread but couldn’t find it. For a single mum who isn’t married and the child’s dad is refusing to sign over custody of the child, what should she do? The dad hasn’t been in the child’s life so she has been financing responsible for the child. Please advise. @graciouswords @ednut1 @dimples

Take him to court to get full custody with all the evidence she has of him not being in the child’s life. She can’t get him to sign off his parental rights however she has a good case for full custody. The only down side to this is just that it takes time with our messed up legal system. Mediation is the fastest route, however, if he won’t bulge, which judging from the pattern of the other cases, he most likely won’t, she should drag his silly butt to court for full custody of the child.

Samuelobiora19:


I think there is another way out, which is unpopular..A lady said she included her husband as accompanying after getting PPR as unaccompanied...She said it is legal tho not popular among people, maybe you can tow that path... You need to get ITA as soon as possible with that score as changes to EXPRESS ENTRY would commence from the 1st quarter of next year.. Good luck

I think hers was kind of different because she had a baby on the way or something. Hers might not be considered based on the reasons used for the other lady.

bigmills:
A friend of mine two years ago got PR, left Ireland for Nigeria to marry and travelled to Canada hoping to sponsor his wife once he settles.
At the port of entry, he was lucky to meet an Immigration officer who was kind to tell him "If I allow you in, it will take about a year to get your wife visa but if you go back and apply from outside Canada it is only weeks.

so he did and in one month, he got his wife visa.Then he travelled to Canada, started working and then about 3months in, his wife came to join.

I will ask him how he did that and come back here.

Also, I must say he already got a job offer right after he got the PR.

In your friend’s case, we need to consider when the marriage took place. After or before the PR? She is married already so it might not work for her that way.

Vanillawafers:
Hi everyone,

Please does anyone know of any law firm I can contact in Canada for a judicial review?. I have been sending emails to orcc since the week after I received the denial letter but I haven't heard anything from them and the 60days deadline is on the 25th of this month.
I usually get automated responses from those emails, I'm not even sure they've seen them at all.

Thank you

While looking for lawyers for judicial review, keep sending emails to IRCC pointing out their administrative errors. Mail any MP in your intended province explaining your situation in a compassionate email. I don’t think your case is that serious to the point of it not being reopened. You may not need the lawyers after all is done. I wish you all the best.

Saynoomore:


The score is exactlt the cut off!

What was the cut off when you were invited?

Saynoomore:




I've made up my mind to decline anyways. The funny thing is that 3 subsequent draws were far lower than my score by more than 6 marks. That's less than 3years working experience. The latest draw even accepted 60marks. I had 66, but mistakenly put 67! Oversabi don ruin my chances! Too much mathematics approximation!

Have you asked on the SINP ITA groups on other platforms? Because I am thinking that on a second note, they should be able to recalculate your score and if it falls within the invited score, I think it should fly. I said this because I just saw someone being given the same advise.

Baztardmods:

Applied for study permit

If that is the case, the medical reports for his wife and kids are not needed especially if he indicated that he is not traveling with his family. However, he is obliged to be truthful in his application stating his correct marital status. If he did correctly state that he is married but traveling alone, not sure there is so much that can be done other than family members helping to intervene. Otherwise drag his butt to court, divorce, get sole custody of the kid and find a way to travel on your own.

Baztardmods:

He did not include them in the application and plans to go alone, probably declared he is still single which am suspecting but is there a way he can go without involving us (wife n 3 kids)

The best way to ensure he never goes anywhere and he is banned for misrepresentation. If he applied without them, there wouldn’t be need for them to do medicals. Are they legally married?

Decline, then edit if there is room for that, otherwise, create another EOI using the correct years of experience. Yesterday’s draw was 60! Who ever thought that would happen?

Baztardmods:
Hi Guys, pls am writing to inquire if anyone knows the process to follow a selfish disloyal spouse (hubby) who wants to immigrate to Canada without carrying the kids and wife along.. what can the wife do in this situation to at least fight for her kids rights and make sure he provides for them before and after leaving, is there any option for the wife to fight this??

One day, one trouble. Relocation brings out the selfishness embedded in some partners.

idcom1:



You can pay online for the premium NIn slip which cost 1000 naira and then proceed to print it on a plastic card, it's acceptable.

alakara:




For this there is a way out.
Just log into the nimc Portal,and put in your details to get your soft copy of the card. Take it to a business center and let them print it out .

Is this advisable? BC and MOD verifies this IDs before use. How will business centers print the card with the chip that comes with it?
