Do you want to skip service? Think about it twice.

Forget masters and move on with your application.

Hello Everyone

My wife and kids got ppr for SOWP and Visit visa and submitted their passport on the 15th november for stamping , up till now they have not gotten feedback to pick up their passport, what might be wrong ?. i need assistance as i have already booked their tickets for december 4th

Can you share the last message you received from VFS? I will suggest you start sending mails and consider the option of re-scheduling your flight. Passport collection is getting delayed recently....You have less than five days! act fast please.

Samade7:
Someone pls help me with this.

If you are submitting where you had your biometrics, you do not need to pay for transmission.

Danilvex:
Please add me to the group too

Respond to your email

What is up front medical.... is it the best? Please i need more enlightenment on it.

Upfront medical exam is an option for applicants who want to get their medical exam done before submitting their application or prior to
medical request by IRCC which can help speed up the processing time of the application.

I will only advice you to do upfront if you have not submitted your application, in this case, you can submit your e-medical information sheet with your application. But if you have already submitted your application, I will suggest you wait for the VO to request for it.

I did upfront but submitted through web form because I had already submitted my application. It took two months for IRCC to upload my medical records. There are many applicants who had similar experience...

Augrere2022:
The email you send to them was to get update on your application right?

Have they made decision on your application yet?

I requested for timely return of my passport. I have the passport now....

Canfulfilment:
I received the message below and I am thinking there should be a DHL tracking number of some sort:

The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. XXXXXXXXX has been couriered from the Canada Visa Application Centre, Abuja OC on Fri Nov 17 2023 via courier partner. Please use Tracking id. or the AWB number provided to track the shipment on the courier partners website after 24hrs.

I believe they will still send it, even DHL will send you a text.

you sent your complaints to these emails at once?

Yes o, only one of the Nairobi replied.

Thank you, was the 22,000 courier payment to Canada logistics payment for one passport or all the passports in the package

Mine is just a passport, I don't know if it's flat rate irrespective the number of passports

two4:
On the website I saw that it is 22,320 for courier fee, it that money for one passport or all the passports in one package.

Yes, that is what they charge and it is included in the invoice I attached.

two4:
Please how was this invoice generated, I am looking for a way to pick up via courier i already submitted in person and I can’t go back there

It was sent to my mail after they received my passport

Freeman6771:

Freeman6771:
have you called them to ask what’s going on? Or it usually takes long sometimes?

I sent mails and got a feedback yesterday that my "matter" is being attended to.

two4:
Please how did you go about your submission, what were the documents you put in and how much did you pay

A copy of the PPT data page with the slip attached after Biometrics, consent form and Passport, I also included the receipt of the transmission fee since I did my Biometrics in Lagos.

But my opinion, even those that submitted in Lagos after me have gotten their passport back. I think its better to submit in Lagos and hope for the best.

refer to the invoice and I paid DHL 13,477.5 for shipment charges.

Freeman6771:
did you submit in person in Lagos and how come some people get it faster?

I submitted at DHL office in Ibadan, but my passport got to VFS office Abuja the following day.

I suspect some passports are stamped outside Nigeria. I believe this is the reason for delay in some cases.

Odonyeka:
Hello,
Please I will be needing any form of assist.
I applied for my study permit visa and did my biometrics on the 22nd of September, 2023. I already did my medicals on the 11th of September, 2023 and the result was sent to IRCC by the panel physician on 16th of September, 2023. I received a message on the 6th of October requesting for my medicals, which was sent same day by submitting a case specific inquiry and attaching my e-medical document, which i got a feedback few days later saying the document was received. On the 7th of November while doing my daily check on my IRCC portal to confirm any update, i noticed my medical status now shows 'We did not receive the results of your required medical exam. Check your medical exam request message below for details'. i filled another webform and the portal still displays the same and I got a feedback indicating they got the document and due to technical issue it might not reflect on the portal.
Please I would like to know if anyone had similar issue and how long before he/she got a feedback?.. it’s been 5weeks+ now after medical request and I’m to resume January.

In my case, I did upfront medicals on the 30th of August, medical officer uploaded my completed result on the 6th of September, I got medical request on the 19th of Sep., medical was passed on the 30th of October.

I believe your case will be resolved soon as your webform is acknowledged.

Freeman6771:
Please I submitted my passport last week Tuesday and I haven’t gotten a text to come and collect it. Does it take this long?

I submitted mine on the 1st of Nov. Did transmission to Abuja just to make it faster.

Till now, no collection message...

Goodmorning everyone
Please I need help and advice
I am 21 years. Did OND cert program on Electrical and Electronics Engineering 2017-2021 in IMT Enugu. Currently doing HND program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering(Power and Machine) in IMT which I will graduate next year.
I got an admission to do a one year certificate program on Heavy duty equipment mechanics with 6months of workshop at Red River College.
My sponsor is my aunt in USA who is a nurse.
We already paid for the installment school fees to the school. I started application of visa with an agent but after going through some threads here I would like to do the application myself.
Another issue is that I got admission with my Waec to red river college.
Please for my SOP should I be honest with my study certificates or should I be quiet about it since my ND and HND certificates was not used during school applications.

Please I need honest reviews and I can send my SOP too🙏

Please respond to my mail

donstyle:
Yes, but you will need to pay in Abuja since you did not do your Biometrics with them.

Okay, Thank you

donstyle:
In Abuja, you would get it same day or latest by second day if you submit it physically and can pick it up physically.

I did my biometrics in Lagos, can I go to Abuja and Submit?

Good morning All,

Please, can I go to Abuja and submit my passport even though I did my Biometrics in Lagos. I am considering this option because I want to have my passport back latest Next week. Thank you...

JMG12:
Why the hurry to get it back within a week?
Yes, you can submit a different passport for stamping

Is there anything that I have to do in this case, like raising a webform or sending the two passports.?
Or I should just send the newly obtained passport?
