Eagle has finally landed o. GOD be praised.

Abuja timeline is good and fast.

Dropped my passport off at UPS office in Lagos on the 16th February.

Received counterfoil on the 20th February

Passport delivered to me today 26th February.

The wait is finally over. Abeg LOI is yet to drop though. What do I need to do about that.

Tohbieee:
Hi guys,

Please kindly assist.

So I sent my passport to Abuja on the 18th of February, after I paid the transmission fee of 7,430. I also paid for a two way courier service to DHL. This morning I received an email from VFS that my package was ready for pick up. I would like to know:

1. If I am required to pay any other fee to VFS for the pickup
2. How do I contact DHL to pickup the package.

Thank you.

You don’t need to pay for any other thing. It will be delivered to your door step since you did two way courier service. Congratulations

If you haven't received a message that it has been sent to IRCC for processing then maybe they did a mistake in your email address it's mandatory for them to send mails on the movement of your passport not to worry then your passport is under processing cuz I have someone too she didn't receive mails cuz they made a mistake on her email address but her Passport has been processed so when she called the VFS they explained that they did a mistake in her email address instead of o they were putting a somewhere so don't fret it's been processed you can reach out to YTEEM here to give the VFS Customer Service to call to clarify with them.
In btw did you fill in your details like email address on the consent form

Na so o. We are expecting the eagle to land anytime T now.

Hello House,

Please I sent my passport to VFS Abuja on 23rd, it was received on 24th and it is yet to be sent to IRCC.

I have not received any message from them with regards to sending it to IRCC, should I be worried?

Don’t be. I’m sure it is being processed.

Must be a mistake with your mail add. Same happened to me.

You can call them on 0815 019 9900.

Also see attached below. Send mails to them. They will respond to you and give your your tracking ID.

Wifefo88:
Need response please

It means nothing. Since you have already done your biometrics, just let it be.

Hello Guys,

Been a silent follower over the past few years. You guys are doing amazing tbh.

So this is my third application I was denied twice initially which really surprised me due to my extensive travel history etc.

I reapplied on the 23rd on January honestly due to pressure from my parents cause I had totally given up on the whole Canada thing however in exactly a month I got an update to proceed for medical my questions are
1. If I pass the medical does it make it sure that I will get the visa ?
2. The next available date for medical in Lagos is over a month a way is there any advice on how to get an earlier date.

Thanking you guys once again for the great work you guys are doing here.

Getting an update asking you to proceed for Medicals is usually a good sign.

For earlier date, might be hard but ask around if anyone has a an earlier date and they are willing to swap.

Medical dates be like crude oil now.

AKANLE2:
hello gurus in the house,

i was denied study visa in 2013 though i didnt get to the stage of biometrics capturing before i was denied and it was a paper based application. now i want to apply fresh, should i answer 'yes' to the question of have i being denied study visa before? and do they still ve the infomation i supllied then with them? and will they revisit it when reviewing my new application?

Good day everyone,
Please I really need to ask this important question. I applied for a student visa through an agent although we used my personal email. But when BVL and PPR drops, will I get a notification in my mail or I would have to be checking my account
I’m so confused.
For all that received their BVL and PPR, did u get any mail notifying you?

For every message or information IRCC will pass to you the applicant, you will get a notification in your mail that there is a message for you in your GC Key account.

If you are sure that the agent used your mail address, no need to worry. You will get a mail from them.

Maygirl953:
Good day guys, please I'm having a hard time knowing how to group my documents for upload.

Which section should I upload my certificates
Which section should I upload family pictures

And what's the best way to merge documents into a single file. Which method will they accept abeg.

Please see page 305 of this thread for answers to this particular question as posted by @Frankrobbn1

You will need to now reduce size with any of the PDF apps.

deommanuel:
BIG BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!

IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISE!

Hurllarh:

Glory be to Almighty God and All praises and thanks to him.

To every NL that has contributed tho I joined here literally after I submitted my application and I already had enough information myself, nevertheless thank you guys so much for all your wonderful contributions to this thread. Will probably give my profile details later when I’m settled

Big congratulations to you. All the best as you forge ahead.

Iffylove:
Hello everyone...
Please I need some clarification...
I saw a PhD advert for fall 2021... I sent in my applications comprising of only two documents they requested for. I got a response from the Professor that I should send my transcripts (these they didn't initially include in the advert).
Ever since... Two weeks now, I haven't received any feedback.. I want to ask if I can mail the prof to inquire about my application or not.
Thank you for your responses.

Have you sent the transcript after it was requested for?

If yes, there is no harm in sending a mail and politely stating that you have sent in all documents and just want to know if your application has been reviewed.

I don’t think there is any harm is sending a mail.

justexcellent:
YES!!!!!!!!!

Omoooo, let me bask in this euphoria first! Will be back with details. Glory to God!!

Hello everyone...
Gurus in the house pls I need your advise
Study visa application has been on background check since Dec 9, 2021. Deferred till may 21 hoping that would give enough time for a decision to be reached, but at this rate I have no idea how long it will take.
First application made in set 2021 was declined. This is the 2nd application which was submitted on Dec 7 2020. Got notification on Dec 9 that medical was passed and Nothing since then. Kindly advise. Thank you

If you got notification that medical was passed then work is going on backend.

Intensify your prayers and also pray for speedy treatment of your file. It will end in praise.

JohnErrin:
Please guys i need an answer on this as i am trying to send my passport on monday. Thanks

You don’t need to pay transmission fee if it’s your first application and if you did it at Lagos VFS. You are good to go with all the necessary documents.

Bobinho10:
Gooday! I submitted my NSE documents Feb 8th and got submition confirmation the following day but my eligibility review hasn't started instead showing is in progress, they will let me know when it starts. I wanted to ask if there is a problem! Although my MBS was not submitted because my sponsor lives in Canada but his BS was submitted with LOE . Please she'd some light.

There is no problem at all. You have gotten a submission confirmation and that is good.

Do your battle in the place of prayer. Add a lot of patience to it and your BVL and PPR will come soonest.

olasubomy:
Hello House,

Is there anyone who has been able to book one of the government-designated hotels for the 3 days quarantine? Please share your experience of how you went about this.

I have tried to call the phone line 1-800-294-8253. published on the CIC website. Each time I call, it puts me in the queue and goes on for more than an hour without an agent attending to me.

I would really appreciate the feedback from someone who has successfully booked one of the hotels.

I’m sure the line will be a hot line as many people will be trying to call at the same time. I will advice you try it like midnight so that possibly traffic would have reduced a bit.

Unfortunately they can only be reached on that line. I don’t think there is provision for any other way to get them.

Keep trying I’m sure you will get them.

Izusteph4:
I got my refusal this morning��though the refusal has been effected since January but I wasn’t notified up till this morning ...

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in
subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on your personal assets and financial status.

@Frankrobbn1, JustMellow and other gurus in the house, Please help a brother because I wish to reapply.

I submitted NSE requirements December 18 with IELTS 7.5 and 26kCAD (3.6m in naira and 10k USD both in my mother’s name)first bank account statement. Also based on assets I have landed properties worth about 18million naira in my late fathers name. Please how do I respond to this issue

Sorry about this delay. Please do well to request for your GCMS notes. It will give more insight. Don’t be in a hurry to reapply.

Usually for purpose of visit, you need to look critically at your SOP. It might means you have not been able to convince the VO about your work, experience and your intended studies.

Also for finance, if you have all the money and you are not able to adequately show and let the VO see that the money is available and it’s coming from a named source and all that, it might be a problem. So just make sure that you are adequately showing what you have. Give them upfront, don’t make them look for it.

Take time to digest the bites when it comes and the repackage and reapply.

It will end in praise.

Skilad54:
Hello... please is it possible to share a room in the hotel with your fellow traveler to save cost?

I strongly doubt that they would allow this. If you read the information available on the page, one is not even allowed to hang in shared space. So I don’t think they will allow 2 unrelated people stay in one space.

If they allow people share m, then it’s no longer quarantine and they won’t cut corners for anyone.

Elizdee:
...

I don’t think so. They expect that your day to day normal life will still go on and you need to spend to go on with life. As far as a tidy sum that reflects your ability to live in canada is in the SOA to be presented at POE, I think that should be fine.

My thinking.

Qcanvs38mimi:
No I haven’t. The rule comes into effect on Monday, I’m landing on Sunday by Gods grace and mercies

Na this one sweet pass. As in just in time

irijuola:
Have you booked for your three day stay at a hotel? How much did it cost you.

I read from 2 people who said it cost them $1550.

But I guess we wait to hear more from those who will book soon.

Qcanvs38mimi:
18th of February or January?
Just wait a bit they will send you a mail with your tracking number, check up their number on google, it should be there.

Thanks for this. It was received 18th of February. Okay then. Just to be sure that there is no need to worry.

I will check.

I appreciate.

Have a safe trip ahead.

I sent my passport to Abuja and it was received by a Mr Kalu on the 18th. Up until now I am yet to receive any mail confirming receipt or anything. From previous experiences of people, I think most have stated that they got a mail that their passport has been received.

Can anyone(those who have sent passports from Lagos to Abuja) please confirm this process, just to know that all is going well.

Is it something to bother about if o don’t get any mail from them. Passport was received on Thursday, I tacked that from UPS.

Please help a sister o.

Also please if I intend to reach the VFS Abuja office via mail or number, kindly help with contact.

Thank you.

meemeeibrahim22:
Good Morning
Please who has gotten a PPR and stays in Abuja ?

This is for you.

You can’t do walk in. These are the details you need to do courier. The transmission fee is if you did not do your biometrics in Abuja or if it’s your second application.

Hope this helps.
