Finally got my passport from VFS. I'm elated. Goodluck to all the hopefuls. Big thanks to Frank for your assistance in this my journey and to everyone that helped out with my questions one way or the other. I'm grateful and blessed.

I will post my documents soon. Do not give up, you can only be delayed not denied.

It ended in praises!

1month and 2days.

DonRomeo:
Please can anyone who got NSE letter tell me about how long it took for CIC to send NSE letter after they applied? Thanks.

Telcos have now been authorized by the government to register their customers for NIN (i.e. customers who are yet to get it) in view of the short deadline for the task, so you can contact your network provider to get this done. At least I saw for Airtel and 9mobile today.

awys:
I just called her now and told her I need it at most a week and she said no probs but the first thing she asked is if I have National ID card I said no she said that's only what is acceptable now to renew passport so if you haven't started the process of your National ID please start ASAP they are even making money on it now self Naija my country I hail thee with the blocking of sim if you don't link your NIN number to your sim those people are making money now cuz rush dey dere now so she now said I should go to the National identification office at Unilag education department when I get there I should call her she has insider that will do the process of the NIN for 2k that I should keep the Slip that's what they use in renewing passport now ooo wahala for who nor get NIN ooo

Hello awys,

I was able to renew my passport 14months to expiration in July this year cos I didn't want any complications around passport renewal matter.

The renewal was possible because of the newly introduced Nigerian Passport which allows you to migrate from the old to the new. I only paid extra 5k for migration fees. Since you have a link within, you should be able to pull it through.

I also have a strong link there so mine was done within few days, I picked up in about 2weeks from the date of applying cos I wasn't available to go for capturing on time. I don't know what the influx of applications will be like right now though, due to the fact that alot of people are planning to resume travelling again.

I think you can explore the migration option if you don't already have the new passport. Ask your contact about the migration thingy. If that doesnt work, I can share my link as a fellow October applicant that also encouraged me to submit my docs for NSE and back it up with prayers.

All the best, it will end in praise...

awys:
Hmmmm it seems my case is familiar eehhhh.Okay this is my own case.My program I applied for is starting May 2021 my passport expires June 16th 2021.I submitted my application on the 12th of October 2020 cuz I still have about 9months or so validity on my passport and couldn't renew.I plan renewing January 4th to start the process of renewing I have a family member in immigration passport office who can do a fast process for me as January will make it 6months to Expiry.My issue now is I don't know when IRCC will respond my medical was just updated to PASSED on the 16th of December, Eligibility review and NSE docs review started on the 10th of December fear don dey catch me eehhhh concerning this passport matter ehhh and I stay in Lagos can't travel to Abuja and don't have money for all this police report and co oooo abeg wetin I go do renew by January?

Hi,

You will not be charged again. Just click on next and ensure to click on transmit. It will then say your documents have been successfully transmitted to IRCC or sth like that.

Until you transmit, you haven't sent the documents to IRCC and nothing can be processed on your application. Except until the NSE due date when they'll continue to process your application through the regular channel.

All the best, it will end in praise...

Babhydoll:
Hello please for people that received the NSE letter did you pay another 150 cad cause that it’s what it is telling me before I can go through this stream. Mine is showing uploaded but not submitted to ircc and if I’m to go through with this scheme I need to pay another 150cad. I guess that’s why for some people even if they said 20 days it has exceeded Nd still no response

Yay!!! BIG congrats to you our resource man. Your level of resourcefulness is super impressive. Once I see an answer to a question with links, I no sey na you without even checking the name of the person that posted it.

Some of those links have helped me too, thanks a bunch. More wins for you by God's grace.

Biko don't leave us ooohhh on this platform, especially the newbies. It will end in praise for us all.

Go on and shine bright, all the best.

Lekiboboe:
To God be the glory,

the eagle has finally landed in my Airstrip (5PM WAT)

41 Days after, VFS Lagos decided to do the needful. But they didn't put my Passport Jacket back


All in all, it ended in Praises

Kudos to the Gurus & Honorables members for your guides & contributions thru out this journey, una too much

To every anticipating applicants, May God grant you all favorable outcomes

Hi,

I dont think it should be more than 30days cos alot could have changed in 60days. From the info I gathered, its 30days maximum.

The gurus here can throw more light on this though.

All the best...

Babyboy2020:
Pls what if someone submit a statement of account 2 months after collecting from the bank ...hope it doesn’t have any negative effect?

Abi oh, that "Only" must be an error cos someone on this platform used academic result and got approved.

awys:
From the reply the person said only general training is acceptable does that mean Academic training is not acceptable maybe it's a typo error. This is English ooo only general training is acceptable they shouldn't confuse people they should just say both are acceptable

Thanks JustMellow.

Yes, I printed the online copy as I didn't see any download option. I printed to pdf and edited the unnecessary stories on the printed copy to have just the required details, saved and uploaded it.

I then explained with a 2-3 line sentence in my letter and quoted the TRF number which is also boldly printed on the result page for their validation/verification.

It is bound to end in praise by God's grace...

JustMellow:
Hello TeeMade,

You can download the softcopy.

All the best

First Bank.

safetim:
Which bank?

Guys it has happened ooohhh... Please what do you do if you can't find your IELTS result that was delivered to you through courier

Is there way to download it from the Test Portal? It's British Council, please I need answers urgently. Village people have got nothing on me mhen!

Thank you.

Yes you can, I did thesame since my own bank can provide the required MBS Certificate.

All the best...

FifthTribe:
Thank you for your reply. Can I submit my statement alongside my sponsor....cause most of the money is in my account?

My sponsor's bank too is FBN and attempts to get them to send to IRCC via courier proved abortive. So I just printed the bank statement and got them to stamp and sign on every page. This one sef na with quarrel oh cos they insisted that they only stamp and sign first and last page but I didn't take that for an answer at all.
If they can't provide the requested document, can't send via courier, the least they can do is stamp and sign each page. So they eventually did that.

I also got them to give me a reference letter to back up the statement for credibility purposes, which ofcourse they stamped and signed.

I also added a brief explanation about this on the letter that I'm sending to them.

All the best...

FifthTribe:
Thank very very much for your reply.....I didn’t see my bank(first bank in the list of banks available for the “MYSTATEMENT” ....what do I do? Walk into my bank and request it?

Wow! The NSE request came right on time. Thanks for the words of encouragement, ama do the needful, already working on it sef.

It will surely end in praise for us all...

awys:
Am telling you just took the words from my mouth it's their duty to verify the results calm your nerves down my dear and submit the requirements all I did was to attach an LOE too that I had ticked no thinking it's academic that's being asked and submitted the explanation and the general training test I did last year we just worry for nothing you don't even know whether they won't even send whether you ticked no or yes please upload something and attach the LOE God will help us these VOs look at things differently the way we look at it just back it up with prayers and grace of God.There was someone here that uploaded his results like
that with 5.5 in reading and said he backed it up with grace of God with boldness with God nothing is impossible he does things in a mysterious ways that's why he is God.
Now let me say this when I submitted my application initially I didn't include my SPONSOR'S statement and explanation I wanted to do I was a bit worried so I decided I would raise a webform and include it the day the statement was ready and was about raising the webform.That was the day I got the NSE requirements I just said thank God this is an opportunity to include it as my proof of Financial Support but before then I was getting myself worked up so God works in different ways we can't even imagine.So relax and send what you need to send.

Thanks alot JustMellow. I receive wisdom and grace to act fast.

JustMellow:
Hello TeeMade,

Don't beat yourself up for nothing. Go ahead and do the needful. If it will keep your mind at ease, attach an LOE whih in my opinion is not needed.

Its their responsibility to verify the authenticity of your TRF from the Test body that organized the exact.

This same situation you're now is similar to someone that did an upfront medicals and ticked NO for it in the questionnaire and still go ahead to submit the same e-slip after medical is requested.

Waste no time and act ASAP.

All the best

Lol, you didn't keep a copy of your application form ni? Abeg check if you have it.

Also, I sent you an email biko respond.

silvamania:
I no even remember wetin I fill self .

Thanks for the clarification. I don't even mind using my GT, my singular concern has been the fact that I selected No when asked if I had taken a language test in my application form.

Apart from saying i didn't upload it cos it was not the Academics result, I will appreciate any ideas on how to justify my reason for choosing that answer at that time if I have to upload the result that I had since last year becuase tbh, I don't see myself writting another test immediately with all that's hot on my plate right now.

Appreciate any valuable ideas guys. Thanks alot.

It must end in praise...

MzMisty:
Hi,

I actually didn’t get NSE request but when I filled my form, I ticked the part that asked if I had ielts results. Didn’t attach the certificate tho.

But when I filled my express entry profile some months back, I gave details of the ielts result and the individual number (I guess identity no- can’t remember what it’s called).

It will end in praise by God’s grace.

Hello MzMisty, Please can you confirm which IELTS you submitted GT or AT? Thanks.

It will end in praise...

MzMisty:
Guys,

I’ve been having ghost updates (application/profile updated) since Sunday.

Sunday was the longest (3hrs)
Monday to date has been for approximately 18mins (every morning).

But when it eventually opens, there’s no change.

Anyone going through same?

Thanks alot for the clarification.

To your questions, an employment bond is a really good tie back home oh. I don't think that should cause any fear.

Having your child back home is also a very good home tie. I'm sure the gurus here can speak more on this.

It will end in praise.

akinajibola:
Am not really sure if I indicated that I have done IELTS. Initially I had already prepared documents required for NSE so I had done academic IELTS in August before submitting in September. I just didnt submit it upon submission then.

Eligibility Review commenced 1st Dec, I wonder I long it will take to reach a decision. My fear with regards to my application is just 2 reasons
1. Because I dont have landed properties in my name. I only submitted an employment bond I signed with the office stating that I will be absorbed into the company upon completion of the studies and I will remain with the company for the next 3 years afterwards.
2. I have a 6 years old that wont be accompanying me. She is remaining with her dad till I get back.

Anyways I honestly hope for the best.

What's MOD? Please clarify.

Thank you.

Ijeanwuli:
Check MOD and if you are in lagos select yaba as your test center

Wow! Impressive. I tried booking IELTS Academics on British Council website last night for computer based test but there was no slot at all for Lagos till February 2021.

Infact, the only available location to write it is in Warri and that's to be done this Saturday December 12th. Nawa oh...

It must shaa end in praise.

Ijeanwuli:
I almost had a heart attack when I saw NSE requesting for IELTS. Prepared seriously for 3 days and this is my result. I wrote IELTS academic.

I prepared with the free resources on the British Council website and this website Ieltsliz

https://ieltsliz.com/

https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/take-ielts/prepare/free-ielts-practice-tests?_ga=2.75314965.60317613.1607532218-567976671.1607191099&_ijcid=1607532235001|3.453910406.1607191101236.7a2d42af

You can do it too
Computer delivered is quick. I wrote my exam on Sunday

Hello @akinjibola, I honestly don't think you should defer the admission except for other reasons cos updates you provided looks promising and positive.

Please confirm which IELTS you submitted, General or Academics and was it done before your application or after? Did you indicate in your application that you have taken a language test?

Many thanks and all the best.

akinajibola:
Please I need help with deciding if to defer my admission below is my application timeline.

This morning, I went out briefly and I was about 15 minutes away from home. Suddenly the call just entered .

Ups man: Hello! I am the UPS delivery man I am in front of your house.
Me: Argh! I went out briefly can you please come to the location?
Ups man: Do you have your collection slip with you?
Me:which one is collection slip again? I sent everything together at once.
Ups man: If you don't have the collection slip, I can't deliver I am returning it.
Me: Baba, please give me 2 minutes, I will join you now now!!

Na so I carry Okada o sharperly. I got to my house I saw UPS bike I didn't see the rider. I just moved closed to the UPS bike and hold it as if na my papa get am.

Opposite my house they are selling akamu and akara. The man was there sipping his akamu and he sighted and just holla me.

Me: Madam, please give this man more 1000 naira akara and 1000 naira pap.
UPS man screamed aahaan Oga you wan kii me.
Me: Oga free free all bills on me. Madam please satisfy this man and no collect one naira from him o

Ups man: Bros I am okay, I have been waiting for you and thank you for the payment of my meal.

So, I took the man to one corner and educate him well that I sent all my documents through DHL, your company should even be thanking me that I didn't do 2-way bill. And there is nothing like collection slip.

He now said what do we do? He doesn't want to be queried at work.

Me: Baba what do you want me to do? I have been waiting for this thing since God knows when.
Ups man: Can you do a photocopy of the front page of your passport, after you have opened this parcel?
Me: Baba that one na smallest thing in this life, I will do 30 copies if you want

Photocopy center is very far from house but I don't mind. We got there, opened the stuff, I shown him the visa page, is this where you want baba? He said yes.

Generator of photocopier no gree start o. At the end Gen start we made copy of my visa page.

Baba said my digital photo is not showing. I said but that's the page you requested. Well no problem, I think you need my passport datapage?

Ups man said Yes, I'm very sorry.

That's how the datapage was done for him and I collected my parcel.

Na so the story goo

To God will always be the glory.

@Eilenora,

Your continuous flow of questions without hesitation was really exhausting. I can remember how frequent you send me messages at night by 12am and expect a feedback in an instant . Glory be to God for it ended well.

Congratulations on the receipt of your stamped visa passport. I appreciate you leaving your feedback and sharing your experience on this platform. It's very rewarding to know i made the experience a good one and I'm glad to be part of your success story. Thanks for the kind words and prayers. I will be happy to provide further assistance with your husband's SOWP.


I wish you the best in your new home, Canada.


It will end in praise

Hello Olasubomy, I sent you an email request. Please respond, it's urgent.

Thank you.

olasubomy:
Hi Sleek, you can request for a print out of your one year bank statement history from First bank and have them stamp all the pages and you upload with a letter of explanation addressed in a formal letter to the Deputy High commission of Canada informing them that mybankstatement portal is not available on any channel of First Bank and upload it. I feel they should be expecting this kind of response from applicant since not all commercial bank currently use the mybankstatement channel and i am sure they are fully aware of that.

Having your bank courier your bank statement to the embassy is discretionary, it is a step i took but not sure of the position of the embassy on that so i would say follow your instinct.

Wish you success.

A little above 31k but this changes every year, so it might not be the exact same amount for new intakes.

All the best...
