Good evening nairaland family,
I just picked up my passport.
Here's my timeline:
Capturing date-7 Sept 2022
Collection- 31 oct 2022
Benin
P.s DIY

I think they are on Sept now,if you captured in Sept you can go check your capturing centre it might be out.
when I checked the production date it showed 17 oct while on the tracking site it has been on awaiting production even this week, but it changed after collection,also I didn't get a sms notification, you can go check if you are near your capturing centre.

Hi temitopteas,
Didn't see Kennylee post at first,I didn't captured at Alausa i captured in Benin, Kennylee captured at Alausa,so I guess you can open a file same day of capturing at Alausa but if you reside close to Alausa and you still want to then you can open a file before your capturing date.

Hi temitopteas,
Yes go ahead, it's ohk.
Opening a file before your capturing date will save you a lot of stress on your capturing date.
It's advice to open a file weeks before your capturing date,Thursday is ohk still but if you can do it on Monday or Tuesday it's better.

Hi Emoreni,
1st week of October is ok since your appointment is for Nov 3rd.
It will give your file time to move round the offices before your capturing date.

Emoreni:

Please how do I open the file, online or onsite?

Hi Emoreni,
After submitting your application online, you will have to go to the immigration office with the required documents to open a file before your capturing date, immigration office in some states may not require you to open a file before your capturing date but if your capturing center is benin you will need to open a file before your capturing date so you will be able to capture.
Also when going go with enough cash in hand,I think for mine I paid #1500 for photocopies and for my file at the immigration office.
P.s I did DIY

@ladysafe I dmed but didn't get a replied mail was hoping we could link up in benin city since your capturing date was Sept 5th,hope it went great?

Just few things we should note, if your capturing state is benin city just make sure you open a file weeks before your capturing date, possibly 3 weeks or more before your capturing date, the reason is files don't move the way we think as it needs to move from office to office.My capturing date was Sept 7th and my experience with nis benin city I will say was okay as the officers I met were friendly and always willing to assist if you need assistance.

Also make sure you go early regardless of your capturing time on your capture date,so you can get prep talk on what to do before name calling, and capturing take place.

Note: I didn't know I was supposed to open a file before my capturing date,was thinking I can open a file and capture same day like some states but it turned out different but still thanks to God I was able to open a file few days to my capturing date and was able to capture.Also remember to go with a nose mask it is mandatory in the capturing room except when asked to remove it for your picture to be taken,I went there 8am and was able to be part of the prep talk.
I hope this helps.

Ps: I did DIY.

This was the last note

Hi
Looking at the vo's note on your application,the vo said your bank statement was not clear enough maybe just maybe if it was clear enough the vo would have reconsidered,I don't know the program you are going for but your pof looks good just repackage and refire, don't give up and this time use my bank statement as advised.

Wishing you the best in your application.

bullstriker:
Like @Johnstan stated, you need to decide on the program you want to study. To improve your chances of getting the study permit, go for a program related to your present occupation if you are not a recent graduate.
Let me know if you need assistance applying or getting an affordable school.

Thanks I appreciate your response.
Here's my profile so you be able to assist me:
I am 21yrs old currently admitted in a uni here in Nigeria studying mechanical engineering,I have a 3yrs school gap(I finished highschool sch 2018 gained admission 2019) but because of the ASUU strike I have only been able to complete one full academic year I am currently in 200l ,my WAEC results grades Maths-B2 ,physics-B3 ,chem-C4 ,Bio-C6 ,Eng-C6...
My cousin is in ontario he wants to use a agent for my admission but I told him I can do it myself.I want to apply for beng mechanical engineering program I am thinking of applying to 3 uni so I can have wide options to choose from,I am going for undergraduate studies since age is still on my side
I have created my OUAC account,I will be going to get my WAEC scratch card and transcript this week so I can complete my application this week for winter term,for my 3yrs gap I have a HSE Level 2 and 3 certificate and I have been learning industry softwares cad,maya, solidworks I hope to use this to cover my study gap for study permit application have but till then.
Can I send you a mail

johnstan:


When you say you need help getting admission, you might need to be more specific because that is the easiest part of the whole study route process.

If you have read the requirements and have your documents ready to upload, then go ahead and apply for your choice of program. In about 2 weeks or 3 weeks after that you will either be accepted, waitlisted or refused.

Good luck.

Thanks
I have created my OUAC account yesterday will go and get the other docs from my sch this week so I can apply
