They texted me around 1am this morning that my passport is ready for pickup — 8 weeks after submission. We thank God.

Congratulations ooo…let me wait patiently for 6 more weeks

Adedolapo2021:
I reached out to them via their chat function. They were very short with me, like I was disturbing them. All they keep saying is "you'll be notified when it's ready" and "your passport is still at the embassy". In other words, that I shouldn't disturb them.

I noticed that about them too. Seems Abuja vfs is proud

Adedolapo2021:
Please has anyone collected their stamped passport (with PR Counterfoil) from VFS-Abuja recently?

I submitted almost 8 weeks ago. Counterfoil was done 3 weeks ago (IRCC updated me), yet I've not heard from VFS-Abuja.

Has anyone else collected theirs recently please?

Why not reach out to vfs Abuja. I am only 10days into submission. I am not even sure when I’d get my passport back because no communication from VFS Abuja

Savagethe21st:
Canada Fam, I am extremely sad. Despite preparing all night while working two jobs, I was given 6.5 in speaking. I might agree with the writing because I didn't complete on time, but I spoke really well just to see 6.5. Now my crs score is low.

Remark please

Realpaulpat:
Hello house. Please I need advice on what to do. I and my wife just recently got married (March). And we plan on applying for the Federal Skilled Worker (Express Entry). So my question is Can she use her current names now to apply (With my Names) despite the fact that her employment letter came in with her Names without mine before marriage... Should we apply with the different names and use our marraige certificate as evidence for we being a couple. Or we should go for a change of name before applying?


NB Her passport still needs Change of name.

Thanks

Yes you can

It was acknowledged a day after DHL informed me that it was delivered

Thanks

VFS charging almost 31k (by force) to send your passport over to you is just exploitation!!
Customer support telling me either I come to pick it (2hrs window) or I pay for them to use UPS which by the way is even slower than DHL.

My two way courier that I paid for isn't acknowledged. They won't give it to DHL.
They also won't allow any proxy to collect..

Same passport i used 6k to send over to them is what they are charging 5 times increment

Yeah surprising.
Btw, when you submitted your passport, how long did it take to get vfs acknowledgemen? Because I am yet to get acknowledgement after 24hrs

mcstan18:
You do not need to fill out the section for consent during submission. It is only needed to authorize collection of your passport by anyone other than the owner. However, during submission, you need to present the document issued to each family member during biometric submission (i.e photocopy of passport with the affixed sticker).

I hope this helps

Yope. Thanks a lot

After nearly six years on this journey, with several expired profiles, IELTS results, and ECAs in-between, the curtains have now been drawn on my quest. It’s CoPR people and below is my timeline:



YOU are next!

Congratulations again!! Please how many consent forms did you attach while submitting your passport?

Oly23:
Hi please I sent you a mail, can you please share your contact for PCC in Abuja?

I have responded

Hi everyone,
1. Regarding passport submission by courier, can I fill one consent form only for a family of 3 or 3 consent forms please?
2. I intend to submit the package at the same VAC where I had my biometrics, from the info I get, I’m not expected to pay a transmission fee right? Just photocopy of sticker?

3. Do I still need to pay courier fee if I intend to pick in person?

Any info will be appreciated

Jenykech:

Chronicwanker:
Greetings everyone. I've had this on my thighs and under my scrotum for a while now and I've tried to get rid of it but it's still there. Please who knows what it is and how can I truly get rid of it because I'm worried.

I bath twice a day and I don't wear a boxer for more than 12 hours. I shave regularly too so I'm confused.

The skin area is white and sometimes falls off when I scratch it, but the marks are there and the whiteness still.

Qwertyuser:
People, please advise. I have an application in progress. However, the current dollar unification has reduced my POF significantly. Can or should I update my POF using webform even before they ask me? Can anyone advice please

Thankfully, Everything got completed on the tracker today. I guess I have escaped the POF issue

braine:
The question should be if this affect those who have already submitted their application. The change is massive.

I have submitted my application and to be honest the currency difference is massive.
Current difference for a family of 3 is 3million give/take. From 7million+ to 10.5million +. Haba This is too significant I think.

Congratulations BIG BIG. Please was your eligibility and BGC completed before you received RFV? My eligibility shows not started on tracker. I’m just wondering considering my timeline is similar to yours

mcstan18:
In my opinion, don't trust that thing CBN said with all your heart. We have learnt over time that these supposed rumors often sneak their ways into reality. It's even possible that they intentionally snuck that piece of information out to test the waters for what is to come.

Brace up for the worst possible scenario.

Abeg o, I no get money again! CBN should continue to test

ViktaSlim:
It should, that’s why it’s been advised to present POF in more stable currencies. A devaluation this huge is just crazy without any update is just crazy.

Thankfully, CBN just denied. We hope it remains denied for a while

This Naira devaluation to 631 (I hope not true) will be an issue for POF.

mcstan18:
Don't be perturbed by that. A good number of people have receive their PPRs whilst still having "Elligibility not started" showing on their tracker page.

Oh thanks for the info. let me now step back and see the bigger picture

Hi all, Please has anyone had this experience of "eligibility not started to completed on the tracker?" I do not understand why eligibility is not started yet.

silvamania:
Hello Everybody,

Will there be a draw today? . Waiting patiently

I hope there will be.

marypoppins2020:
I believe if they required you to renew your passport they would send a message to this effect. This was the experience of my husband. He was asked to renew his passport in January/ February and a month later we received the passport request letter.

Thanks for this information. It’s helpful

Please advice. My passport expires December. I am already in the process of renewal. Should I get an RFV mail, what do I do? Send the former or wait for the new? (how do I inform them of the new passport when it’s ready?)

This Prof sef....

So just fund it and save your self stress…. Do give away na

PreanceMapiae:
Yes, I did.

I suggest you follow Graciouswords advice then.

PreanceMapiae:
Hi Everyone!

Please I need some help here.

About 4 days ago, I got a Refusal Letter in my application. The reason stated was that I did not upload some documents (Bank statement and Proof of Relationship with my wife) while I actually did.

I was first asked to upload on May 1 with a seven-day deadline. So, I uploaded on May 7 successfully. Then, on May 9, I got another letter which was a reminder to upload same documents with another seven-day deadline, stating that I did not upload as required the first time. I uploaded same documents again on May 12. And my application account reflects these uploads, though I did not get the usual email notification that they had received my documents.

After I got the Refusal Letter, I filled a webform to ask for reconsideration, attached the documents in the webform and called their customer care, they looked into it and sent me an Information letter just yesterday.

Now, the information letter stated that my application will not be reopened because I have insufficient funds from the bank statement I submitted when I do actually have sufficient funds. I'm applying with my wife as a dependant, and the present required funds for a family of 2 persons is 17,127 CAD which is equivalent to 5.8 million naira+ according to Oanda Currency Converter. I submitted a bank statement with a little over 6 million naira.

Though I've written them, I'm appalled by this second Refusal for a wrong reason.

Please, has anyone experienced this or does anyone have tips on how to get it resolved? I'd really appreciate all feedback I can get.

Kind regards!

This is annoying. At the time of application submission, did you also attach the exchange rate page?

JUANITAs30:
Ah that’s grand. Got scared for a bit there.

Uhm anytime from a month to 6 months.

My friend submitted in Feb and got her RFV email 3 weeks later. Mine took a month and few days.

Ah that was fast o. A month after AOR, I’m still at BG processing. Eligibility not even started on tracker.. although Med and BIL completed
