Nairaland has been a great blessing to me on this Canny journey.
A very big "Thank you" to everyone who has been kind enough to respond to my enquiries. God bless you all.

To all who desire this joy I feel, you'll get it and much more!

God be praised!

Yes, I paid for a two-way courier. I also paid the transmission fee because my son didn’t do biometrics. I don’t think you have to pay the transmission fee if you don’t have a child and you are sending it through the same VAC that you did your biometrics. You will attach the slip that you were given during Biometrics to prove that you did your Biometrics there.

However, you can still pay if you can afford it, just to avoid delays if it turns out everyone is required to pay the fee. I know a single person that paid and it’s not like they refunded the money.

Thank you for your response.

COPR is here finally
Dropped off Passports at DHL Lagos - 20 June
Arrived at Lagos VAC - 22 June
Dispatched to Accra VAC - 22 June
Received at Accra VAC - 28 June
Received at Accra Visa Office - 6 July
Decision Envelope Received at Lagos VAC - 29 July
Counterfoil Email - 29 July
Passport delivered to us - 2 August

There were no email updates on when the processed passports were sent back to Ghana VAC and from Ghana VAC to Lagos VAC.

The process took about 6 weeks. So if you are really in a hurry to travel, I suggest you try other VOs.

Hello. Congratulations on your PPR and COPR. Regarding the passport submission, was it a two-way courier? Like, did DHL pick up your docs for you?
Did you pay any fees to have it sent to Accra?
By VAC, I'm guessing it's same as VFS where biometrics gets done, right?
Thank you in anticipation.

5454Darese:
Please just sent it directly to Accra. If you send it through Lagos that might add additional 2-3 weeks to your processing time. You could get your passport back within 2.5 - 5 weeks if you send to Accra directly while Lagos 5.5-10 weeks.

Thank you.

Hello everyone. I wish to get some advice on sending passport after PPR.
Please what is the best option? Is it to send it to Vfs Accra directly via courier? I heard using Lagos vfs is slow? Any better option?

Please note I am awaiting my second PPR(Got first ppr a day to my wedding)

Thank you in anticipation.

5454Darese:
Send me an email, at michealfemise@gmail.com
I will dash you June 15 appointment if iom will allow you to use it.

Ohhh, thank you sooo much.

I actually called them and was told i cannot switch bookings.

All the same, I appreciate your help.

I have sent them my docs, hoping they reply with a positive response soon.

Hello, everyone. I got remedical request from IRCC. Please is there someone who could swap with me? I need a date for this month, biko. The earliest I'm getting is for next month..... IOM.
Please help a sister!

Mmmmuah! Thank you so much!

Hello, japa family. Please help ooo.
I'm trying to fill the Additional family form. I added my spouse post PPR and getting the required documents as it is.
I'm a little confused as to how he should fill his own dorm.
For the applicant section, would he still write my name and fill his own as the spouse? I don't gerrit.
Not that I m the principal applicant.

GraciousWords:
Queenmaker, pls read the post above, especially the part in red.

Get docs to add spouse to your app. Check out FAQ 34 and resend all as webform, that may get IRCC moving.....who knows.

Thank you. Planning to do just that. We are gathering the required documents.

Ashmark:
It doesn’t come so quick like that when adding spouse. Not even in this season of backlogs.

Okay. So no need sending my passport?

Hello, japa family.
I got wedded on 9th of this month but got the "Ready for Visa" mail on the 8th. I have sent webform to inform ircc on the change in my status.
I was given 30 days to send my passport. Up till this moment, I have not received any response from them.
Biko, what can I do at this point? Do I go ahead and send my passport to Vfs Lagos, or just chill for ircc?

Space reserved for my PPR gist.....
AOR 29th July 2021.
It shall end in praise!

Lupigne:
I just sent you a mail

I can't see it. Please resend to mimikujosky@gmail.com
Thank you.

Dammie0904:
You need to write atleast 2papers to get a year college diploma evaluation.
If you're on telegram, I can add you to Acca group to get all the info you need!

Could you please add a friend on my behalf?

Lupigne:
the 50k is the cost per exam. There's also registration fee and yearly membership fee.
Self study is possible. I prepared for the 3 exams all on my own even though I had no accounting background. The study kits were all I needed. If you're on telegram, I can add you to the ACCA group. You'll find out more about the exam there and also get access to study kits.

Please could you add a friend for me?

Okortor:
I have just come to realize all women are the same.
A friend of mine has this pretty wife, he pays her monthly and even established a supermarket for her.
They had lil issue fews day back which can be resolved amicably even without involving third party but only for her to pack her things n left with his 3kids.
I am more surprised because I know he adores his wife.

FEAR WOMEN.......

Fear women,based on a one sided narrative. What is considered a "lil" issue may be a major issue for the woman. Did her husband do something horrible like cheat on her despite the supermarket and money he gave her? Did you hear her side of the tale? For some women, it's the little things that matter. Get to the root of issues before coming to conclusions.

This is so shameful!

Hello everyone.....
For persons who paid their application fees through domiciliary account, how much would be considered as sufficient to cover the extra hidden charges? For instance, I'm to pay 1410 CAD, approximately 1150 USD. Biko, I'm asking because I'll be buying at black market rate so I don't need unpleasant surprises when making payment.

Lahun:
When you are filling your application post ITA, your POF section will again come up and you'll be able to change the amount you stated when you created you EE profile.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I've updated the POF on my form.
Thank you, @Dimple10, GraciousWords.

ZaraD:
Please i can’t login to my CIC account for months now.
use several browsers even private tabs to no avail.

Clear browsing history and cache. That always works for me. Also, use Chrome browser.

GraciousWords:
Read this link and the rest of page 623. You must update the new POF in your application (even if update on your profile is no longer possible), provided you are submitting after July 15: https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/622#103425221

No issues with your old references as I understand it.

Pls study page 1 and IRCC website before you submit.....avoid regret.

Thanks. I have updated the POF on my Apr, since my EE profile is already locked in.

lola0999:
My fellow future canadians.
To update this new POF na die..
As everywhere is harrrddd!
The reason I am writing this
Is because I learnt there might be a draw this month.
With my CRS score I might likely get an invitation.
What are the other fees to be paid post ITA..
Are we paying for Visa fee and if yes how much please?
What of police certificate how much is that?
I need to plan for it financially so as not to be stranded...

The fees to be paid depends on the family size.
If it's just you, then it's 1410 CAD total, including the biometrics fee.
As for police cert, just budget between 5k to 10k.
Then medicals, about 46500 /40000 per adult.

aggese:
You can't edit anything after receiving and accepting ITA and I do not think this updated POF will affect those that have already accepted their ITA

Thank you. I just needed to be sure.

Hello, everyone.
I received ITA and intend to update my pof on my EE profile but can't seem to do so as there is no way to edit anything. Hope this would not be an issue?
Secondly, for my reference letters. My last 3 former employers issued me letters last year which I used for PNP (addressed to whom it may concern). I wish to use same for federal because getting new letters would be difficult.
Advice needed.
Cc GraciousWords, ednut1..... others please.

Lagbaja88:
2 .most Nigerian do not include average balance, with 6 months bank statement the visa officer can compute it. If you are using gift deed or sale of properties its not required to provide 6 months.

Hello. So does this mean I'll not be having any issues with by bank refusing to give me an average balance of 6 months? I'm not using a gift deed.
Thanks.

phabulous88:
Banks and stupidd policies.
How difficult is it to issue you a letter stating your average balance for 6 months?! Your own account o! Information that can be extracted in less then 30 seconds.
And after they will be blaming Buhari
Nigeria will just frustrate you left, right, center, up and down.

The matter just tire me.

alteco007:
Hi, I used GTBank and the average balance was on the letter. No idea on fidelity

Thanks. I went to another Fidelity branch and was told the same thing. Na wa.

Hi guys!
Please who has used fidelity and GTBank for POF? I was told at fidelity that the reference letter would not indicate all the items listed by ircc, but simply a letter that I have maintained the account for a duration. The letter of indebtedness would be issued separately.
Please how do I manoeuvre this? No 6months average to be stated.

As long as there hasn’t been an unexplainable lump sum payment made , you should be fine

Thanks a lot for always coming to the rescue, God bless.
