JohnyF:


Good evening bro, please did you get an email to notify you it has been approved or you just logged in and saw it has been approved?

I checked my CIC portal. I haven't received any mail from IRCC yet.

Kompressor:


Wait, did you receive these 2 emails today?

Bro sup? My application has changed to approved on my profile. And I've received an email saying my passport has been returned to Accra VFS.

icehot:


When did you send yours?

Sent it on 9th March. VFS told me it was in transit by March 10

Kompressor:


I think yours is ready bro. Have you logged in to CIC?

Yup, no changes.
And yes I received two emails. About 10 minutes apart.

Kompressor:


I got that one too and a second mail stating it had been dispatched to IRCC on that 6th.
This one came in 7th morning

Your application, tracking ID has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on Thu Apr 07 2022

Lmao, this is the one I just received. Ok na. This is interesting. We wait.

Kompressor:


I got that email from VFS the next morning, 7th April. Haven’t heard a thing since then

The one I got on 6th April was when VFS Accra received the application. Is that the mail you're referring to?

Kompressor:


Bro, check if you’ve been updated as well. Vfs just showed love

Hello, just got a mail that the application is under processing at IRCC. You?

khattab008:


Sent mine via Abuja VFS, it took 2 weeks to get to Accra. Hopefully the rest of the process would progress smoothly.

2 weeks ain't bad. Mine took over 20 days. I'm not too worried sha. I waited over 2 years before my application for to this stage.

khattab008:


Got the same updates too, I think the first mail was sent mistakenly.

Okay. VFS Lagos replied my mail saying the courier guys delayed the delivery of our passports. I tire.

Kompressor:


Bro, check if you’ve been updated as well. Vfs just showed love

Yes my bro. I got a message about decision envelope and stuff, and then got another saying my passport has been received and is forwarded to IRCC for processing. I'm kinda confused.

I checked tracking and this is what I saw

"Visa application, tracking ID No **** Your processed passport has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office on 2022/04/06. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website"

Any idea?

cc pein

Kompressor:


I submitted on 15th, Lagos VFS acknowledged on the 16th and I haven’t heard a thing since then

We have to wait it out. Nothing one can do. They issued plenty PPR this period, so I think delays like this should arise.

Kompressor:


Bro, have you gotten any update yet?

No oh. Did you submit around the same date as me?

1cor2v9:


Haaa! This is crazy.
Try the Web chat option to speak with vfs lagos.

They're always occupied. I'll keep trying though.

valves:


Don't worry. You'll get back your passport in about 5-6 weeks from the date it was received by VFS Lagos or Abuja.

Thank you for the support my brother.

Allegory:

Everything in this journey is just stressful, someone cannot even exhale and relax after PPR. Did it take this long to stamp passports pre-Covid or is this just one of the several consequences of the backlog

I even sent an email to VFS Lagos, no reply

1cor2v9:

Yes I did, 2 weeks after submitting to vfs lagos

Oh boy, I submitted March 10, no mail till date.
And when I mailed VFS Accra to ask if it's there, they said they didn't have my records. Tracking on the website, said the package is still in transit after a whopping 20+ days. I just weak.

1cor2v9:


Submitted to vfs lagos on 8th Feb.

Please did you receive an email when your package got to VFS Accra?

Afolavid:


Sometimes, we Nigerians overdo things, even when we chicken, we chicken out amazingly, that explains why we rarely see JR from Nigerians even when we've submitted the near perfect applications.

Well, I was expecting comments like this but to set things straight... There's nothing wrong or worth hiding about the program, this is a legitimate program and it is a course waiver for onward progression, it has to do with waiving courses that has already been written in your previous degree (Bsc) in relation to the diploma being awarded (ND). If you meet all waiver requirements, you'll be issued the diploma for a progressive admission into the HND program, hence why is called preHND program. If you don't meet all waiver requirements, you'll be given list of courses you're to take, which you then decide to take or not to take. And the breakdown of the payment includes ND1, ND2 tuition fees, etc which you and every other student pays. So how is the program trying to game/bypass the system.?

I think y'all should read on course waivers, all educational institutions offer it one way or the other. When I wrote the school, got all the details and got to know the program is legit, I was surprised why most people don't know about it earlier, it's all because of comments like this, jumping into conclusions about things without making any research. I just shared a legit and vital information for free. It'll be very useful for some people and those that doesn't find it useful. Sorry ooh!

In addition, the certificate gotten will be evaluated by WES or whatever. If they pass it as having met the requirements, who are we to assume otherwise? So there isn't any "gaming the system here".

Thank you for the info. I suggest this be linked to the first page.

MrPein:


Thank you. Here's my timeline as per mails from vfs:
Feb 18th - Passport arrived Lagos Vfs
March 9th - Passport arrived Accra Vfs
March 9th - Passport enroute to Accra IRCC
March 24th - Passport arrived Accra IRCC
March 24th - Decision envelope sent to Accra vfs
March 24th - Decision envelope dispatched to lagos vfs

I think your passport is en route to vfs Accra from vfs lagos. This normally takes 2weeks.

Thank you for your response. Mine was dispatched from VFS Lagos on March 10. Thats 17 days already. Fingers crossed.

MrPein:


Yeah. Just checked and it says approved. Thanks for the heads up. I even got 3mails from vfs on the 24th. The decision envelope is on its way back to lagos.

Congratulations bro.

When did you submit to VFS Lagos?
Or better still can you share the timeline until this point?

This is the response I get when I track my application through VFS website:

"Your application, tracking ID No. is in transit and has been dispatched to the IRCC Office through the Office, on for processing. For further details, please contact the VAC helpline number or refer to our website at: "

At what point do you think my passport is at the moment?

Your kind response is needed pls.

Highman56:

U think living in the jungle is easy ba? With all the kidnappings one can't be rich and safe

I tell you. The security issue for me is the most bothersome. I could live with lack of power (solar dey), bad roads (at most buy a Hilux lol) , but security, you'll need a van full of soldiers cos even 3 police escorts won't do.
Money without peace of mind is just not it.

Alvin007:

It’s the Harrier..check the direction of the wipers..it was converted.

Yes you're right. I thought the conversion would've adjusted the wipers too. Driving that car under the rain no go funny o

Chrisdada16:


Not ircc but to VFS Accra first which would take 2weeks before it gets there.. expect a mail in 2 weeks time if u use Lagos, if it's Abuja 3weeks

Thank you. The email seemed unusual.
Is the IRCC office in Canada or Accra?

MrPein:


Feb 18th - Passport arrived Lagos Vfs
March 9th - Passport arrived Accra Vfs
March 9th - Passport enroute to Accra IRCC

Did VFS Lagos tell you when the passport was dispatched from their office?

I gave mine to DHL on 8th march and on 10th got a mail saying package is enroute to IRCC office and a tracking number given to me.

MrPein:


You are good to go. Remember to fill the height/eye colour chat, and pay for 2-way courier.

Yes boss. Did that.

MrPein:


Yeah. Print all and submit.
Remember to fill the height and eye colour chart which is the last page

Hello, I intend to use DHL to send my passport to VFS Lagos. My package contains, the PPR letter, two passport photos -one stamped and signed at the back with my name and DOB, my international passport, two copies of my passport data page, the consent form and slip I was given when I did biometrics at the Lagos center.

Am I missing anything please?

IlorinBoy1:


Try to find abudhabi vfs email address online and mail them. I didn’t do it, so I don’t want to give wrong information. But someone there asked if we can submit from anywhere and he got a positive response.

Thank you very much.

BurnaBurna:
Depends on if he's in a hurry or not. Lagos and Abuja VFS is taking like 6 weeks or more now. Accra/Cairo may take shorter. AbuDhabi is fastest, 1 week now.

Please what is the procedure for submitting to Abu Dhabi?

I sure hope they don't arrest unvaccinated Yahoo boys.
