I was hoping to do a walk in collection.

Okay. I guess you're in Abuja.

Jaykeh:
Please did Vfs send you any email to acknowledge they have received your passport on the same day DHL delivered it to them?


I sent mine since Thursday 1/12/22 and I'm yet to get a response from Vfs to acknowledge they are with the passport, DHL didn't even send me a message I just tracked it and saw it has been delivered. I'm really worried. I sent direct to Abuja.

Hello,

Since you sent through a one-way delivery, how do you plan to get your passport from VFS after stamping?

Teeebabyyy:
All Glory to God! This feeling is surreal!

I just recieved my passport now phew!
The stress of this canada journey is unending.

So I sent my passport through DHL on the 21st of November and it arrived VFS Lagos(where I did my biometrics) on the 22nd.

However, DHL said they do not carry out 2way courier service anymore as that was a new instruction from Vfs so I paid for the 1way return fee directly to Vfs.

I got an acknowledgement email from Vfs that day and i was getting subsequent email update from vfs on the whereabouts of my passport.

I got a message on the 30th of November that my passport had been couriered from Abuja and will be sent to me via their courier partner. My LOI and Counterfoil was yet to drop on my portal so I sent 2 webforms to IRCC and it dropped the next day 1st of December

I couldn't track my passport so I was in the dark until today I contacted vfs and they gave me my AWB number and told me to track on UPS website which I did and found out it had arrived in my city but they said they had issues with my address. So I walked into their office to retrieve it.

In everything you do, put God first cause he made all this possible at his own timing.

Great! How much did you pay for VFS to deliver it to you through UPS?

johnstan:
Took 15days

That's was fast. Looks like no more delays in Lagos.

johnstan:
Picked my ppt today guys and the feeling is still amazing.
Apparently it was processed in Beijing and not Nairobi so anyone could also send webforms/emails to Beijing for feedback regarding their application.

Don't give up y'all, it's worth it at the end.

Nice! How long did it take?

johnstan:
Choose which ever you're comfortable with.
You could also use UPS, FedEx or any other courier service.
I used one way to send and picked it up in person at vfs Lagos.

Alright. Thanks!

I'm at a DHL office now and wanted to send my passport to Abuja through 2-way courier and they said they no longer do 2-way, only just sending. What do you advise guys?

Gokkyshow:
Pls what is the procedure for changing the inactive to active on tge CAC web portal? How did you or your brother go about it?

Hi,

To do that you need to pay up your annual return fee for all the years that have been missed. The payment is done on CAC's portal. You can check my comment history, I have previously written more details on it.

Teejackz11009:
And where is the annual return fee going to be paid to?
Who are we paying it to?

It's paid online through their portal and you're paying it to CAC. You should research about it.

Yhn1:
My study requires a co op work permit. I have also read that if bvl is getting delayed such application might be denied. I don’t know why they sent only bvl since 3days without denial and ppr . Maybe because of the expired admission letter

I understand how you feel. Put your mind to rest and email them concerning the delay. You should not turn back at this point when you've already gotten BVL. Just wait for the decision. My own also included co op.

Teejackz11009:
Please guys I will like to ask, when trying to register for your company CAC is it also mandatory to apply for Tax clearance certificate?And how is tax paid to FIRS?Are we to pay tax to the FIRS account on every goods you purchase? Or is the receipt you collect from where you bought your goods enough to show as evidence?
Am asking this so as to keep the CAC account Actice incase the embassy wants to verify

Hi,

if you just registered your company, it will be shown as "active" on the CAC portal and the duration will be for a year before you'll need to pay what is called annual return fee. It's 10k per year. And it's not related to tax clearance. You pay this fee for the status of your company to remain active.

And if you have already registered your company a long time ago and you've not been paying annual return fee, the status of your company would have already been "inactive", so you'll need to pay 10k each for all the years missed to change your status.

After paying, you'll email the receipt to them in a pdf, so they can update your status.

You can check the status of your company on the CAC portal by searching the name of the company: https://search.cac.gov.ng/home

Wealthh:
Thanks for your response sir
You can see that my application number starts with S..definitely I applied for study permit not work permit....I applied since Nov 22 last year and since then no reply from them till Nov 22 this year...and the next reply I could get was that request letter...I’m suprised seeing work permit...tho my offer has Co-op...

If your program has Co-op and it is indicated in your LOA from the school, IRCC will automatically process both study permit and work permit for you. The work permit is because of the co-op stated on your LOA.

Why they're asking for updated LOA is because a long time has passed and the LOA they have is already outdated, so they need a new one to process your work and study permit. Please, get a new LOA as soon as possible from your school and submit to IRCC.

Ketima:
Hello,

This is another good point. Sometimes we always think is all about docs. Now if the company doesn't have tax clearance certificate maybe as the company isn't remitting tax directly to the FIRS as the case maybe, how will ircc believe such company exist.

Now, as someone into busying and selling(I guess), how do you prove you pay tax? Some use there waybills and receipt to show they pay tax when the purchase their goods. This are the things you have to explain in your SOP. Also, to back up the explanation that you're paying tax when you purchase goods, you can get the manufacturer to issue you a letter of identification or recommendation that highlighted your existences and even make comment on tax payment in the letter. With this, you can establish the existence of the company.

So lets be creative in our application and not create holes of doubt in Vos mind.

Great take! Yes, you're right about the tax clearance certificate and these are valid points, but I didn't include it in mine. To show that the company exists and is still operating, we had to update our status on CAC's portal. It had been showing "inactive" when searched previously.

I don't know if Canada checks if a company is active or not, but I'm very sure UK does, because that's exactly what affected my brother.

I submitted my passport in person at abuja on Tuesday, paid VFS for my pass to be sent back to Lagos. I’ve been getting emails throughout the process, it has been stamped & sent back to VFS.

The problem now is the picture below is the last mail i got from VFS, haven’t received any other mail from them, they didn’t send the waybill number for me to track it, called them on Friday, never picked, chatted with them on their site, they said I should send an email, i sent an email, no response.

Hi, the email you have been getting emails with, it is the one you gave them when you submitted your passport or the one you used for your processing your visa?

Oldfashioned145:
Probably 10 days max

Have you sent yours to Abuja yet?

Dessymond394:
My elder brother was my sponsor,and I used his personal account for SOA, and I am a share holder in company,my name is among the directors in the company and all cac,tax clearance,every single document showing the company is real and active company with sales invoice and receipt were submitted.. it was no just a claim because proof were submitted,I own 10percent of shares in the company and it's in the company documentation.. everything I submitted were backup with verified document to proof. I just still wonder why the refusal,I have ordered cbsa note already tho,I await

I wanted to ask, is the company active on CAC's website?
I'm not saying that's the reason for your refusal, but my brother was refused UK visa because of this CAC stuff. The company was showing inactive on the portal, while my brother was also a director at the company. All documents were submitted.

When I began processing, my own Canada study permit, we had to sort out the issue for fear that Canada could aslo look up the company on CAC's website. The annual return fee that the company hasn't be paying for years was paid and the status on CAC's website became active. Please, before you reapply, make sure you check this stuff.

And also, did you submit the company's receipt and invoice to show how your brother's company generates income?

Blackgoldjoe:
Congratulations to you man! July 27 applicant as well still expecting

Thanks bro! Yours is on the way!

Lixusheng:

You mean Abuja office stamped your passport in a week? Wow! I thought there was also delay in Abuja? I'm kinda confused where to submit my own. And how much did you pay to submit to Abuja?

emmyoddy:
Congratulations. That's your Christmas gift

Haha, indeed, it is. Thanks! I wish you the best on your application.

It's a relaxing end for me, guys!!
July 27 Applicant
BVL and PPR Dec 1!

July 27th here. Still waiting and hoping.

socially4fun:
Oh, I need to write an authorization to debit letter?

Check well. The invoice you generated should come with an authorization letter, authorizating flywire to receive the payment on behalf of the school. If it's not there, then you should include one. And the payment ID should be on the last page of the invoice. That's how my flywire invoice was.

bepositive11:
Hahahahahaha!!!! Good one!!

Haha, we'll survive!

adefunkeadelaku:
I would have love to volunteer but am not so conversant with using naira land. But if its watsapp, then am good to go.vut anyone else can also help Pls.

Oh, please do. I searched countless for a Fanshawe college group.

The wait is tiring o

skentelelady:
Though ibam new to this Canada thread , I see so many fake people and PPRs here. No one is bold enough to show even their visa. Only one person has shown his landing pix.

Those fake people with Pprs have not come back to share their landing gist

You dont have to show all details. People lie and I wonder for what exactly. Who are you trying to impress or what are you trying to sell? It is obvious now what Express said some days back about fake pprs


Now everywhere is quiet and what we see is refusal. Please stop trying to give what you dont have. Some of us are smarter than you think. Everyone should wake up. Dont get discouraged because of someone's refusal. Dont wish yourself refusal already. Ypu dont even know if the person you are looking up is real or not especially on faceless forum

Learn to say more than necessary abeg.

If someone doesn't come back to share landing gist doesn't mean their PPR was fake. Why would they show their visa? I think dropping their timeline and screenshot is enough.

ANGELAFELIX:
Thank you so much. Someone advised I apply to fanshawe but I need an agent. How do I get one?

People are using applyboard for free.

Momoftwins:
Please can you guide me on how to generate an invoice from flywire’s website.

Google or go to pay.flywire.com and search your institution there. Follow the instructions, input the necessary details and generate the invoice. Your school has to support flywire for you to use them. Or contact your school to know their preferred payment method.

Chiziteremary:
Good evening all,

Pls i need assistance. Im on the trade portal trying to make payment for school fees. The school accepts fees thru flywire. Pls how do i fill the tradeportal where exactly should i put the flywire details. I'm confused pls. Kindly assist ASAP pls

Which flywire details in particular?

Oluwapelumeedah:
Thank you for sharing this link, I made my research about UK nairaland thread yesterday morning. Mehn I jumped out of the thread I don't understand anything there. But now I I think I will jump into the thread and start asking questions. My application is 16 weeks old only eligibility has started. I feel frustrated I swear, especially when I saw charitole James refusal.

Yeah, it's normal to get kind of confused at first, but if you carefully read through the threads especially from the beginning, you'll understand. 16 weeks is long. Have you ordered your notes?

Letuspraytogod:
And both of them did medicals in IOM ikeja lol. I haven’t seen anyone call out Qlife.
Naija sha
