ednut1:
Obtained my Canada Citizenship last week 3 years 5 months after i landed . Don’t listen to those anti japa people , some of their kids have USA citizenship already.
The Canada immigration has changed a bit since I applied in 2019 but if you meet the requirements and have in demand occupation abeg pursue it o. If you can learn French too please do.

Most of what i learnt about express entry was from Nairaland. I found out a certification i did in 2009 qualified for two or more degrees here. I learnt about gift deed here etc. Canada also has its own challenges but it cannot be compared to Nigeria. The quality of life, access to healthcare, peace of mind and amenities etc.
Me i don signout o. One love 😁

@Omobolarin and @Jamesiukalu..Hope you have received the Vfs tracking emails yet?

Omobolarin:
Yes, thanks.
I just wanna be sure i didnt miss out anything.

I suggest you be patient. I received mine yesterday from vfs that my docs have been dispatched to IRCC. You will eventually receive.

Omobolarin:
We contacted them. They said we'll get the tracking by the end of today or tomorrow.

Pochettino may have found his feet now. If Chelsea could hold the Champions (ManCity) to a thrilling 4-4 draw in the manner they did today, then they can as well hold back any other opponent in the premier league. They should just continue to play good football like they did today!!!

Muchas gracias@braine. Seen.
God bless you sir.

ZeeAngelus:
@braine,
Please help me the contacts (payment and Courier) too...i tried to dm you. Thanks boss.

@braine,
Please help me the contacts (payment and Courier) too...i tried to dm you. Thanks boss.

Brownmannie:
After 2 months and 15 days, the seal is broken and the wait is over. God to you alone I give all the glory. Greater things ahead...

Thanks bro..you too much...

To send your passport to Kenya, here are the steps I followed.


1. Passport request letter
2. 2x Photo Passport
3. International passport
4. CVAC form
5. Receipt of transmission fee payment.
6. DHL Return label
7. Eye and height chart
8.(optional) two photocopies of passport data page with email address and phone number.


You need the 7 documents above

Step 1: print out PPR letter, consent form (CVAC) and eye & height chart.

Step 2: make a passport according to the specifications (it’s on your PPR letter, also try to look fresh, I heard that picture will be used everywhere for a long time)

Step 3: Pay and get Kenya VFS transmission receipt. (It costs 32k now, but dollar rate might say otherwise). You can reach out for the contact i used, as I cannot just put the contact here.

Step 4: Have a DHL 'to and return' waybill documents (it costs 78k normally, it might cost more currently). You can reach out for the contact i used as well.

Step 5: put all documents asides the DHL Lagos-Nairobi waybill inside an envelope

Step 6: go submit the documents at any official DHL office close to you. ( they’ll ask for the DHL waybill document (Lagos-Kenya)

Step 7: buy coke and 3 puff puff, you deserve to spoil yourself.

Big Congratulations bro. I tap into ur testimony!
Soft landing will make sense, you can use one stone to kill two birds..

s not for the swift
Started this journey in 2019 Covid happened and then had to write another Ielts with wifey. Cos the other ones expired. My wife got tired of it all and suggested masters. We started masters online in a uk university cos we couldn’t travel and the school gave an option of doing it online or deferring. We choosed to do it online. After second semester and Covid eased off, we made enquiry and they said we ain’t qualify for the 2yrs post work visa because we did it online. By this time, we wrote another Ielts as the other expired. So I had to pay for another Masters in the Uk while we were doing our dissertation making it 2nd uk master for my wife by the time we finished last year we updated our Wes because now we had masters. Our Score was now 486 we were just in the pool because cutoff was 500 and we left naija for the uk for madam 2nd masters and I as the dependant. Fast forward to March this year we got ITA. Did medicals in April and we have been waiting since. Did biometrics in June and today by the Glory of God we got PPR. This race will teach you patience my brethren. The Lord that did us will do for y’all IJN. God did it

Now we don’t know if to discontinue the masters or do soft landing. We so excited and for the newcomers please read from the first page. I became a consultant (lol) because everything we did and learned, was from this platform. Thank you all and God bless you. See y’all at the top

Forgive my typo. I’m just so excited.

Big Congratulations. This is good news to the ear! May CannyLand Favour you, sir!

Please guide me on the procedure for the Passport dispatch to and fro Kenya from Nigeria: e.g.did you use DHL ? How did u manage the return leg? any payment in Kenya currency and how did u pay, e.t.c.
Please more clarity,

Grateful to God and everyone for the help and support!

Jenykech:
Please has anyone here gotten an ADR for schedule A. (IMM 5669).
Where do I get the form and how do I fill it? With paper and pen? Or I can fill online with adobe fill & sign or similar apps?

It's common for applicants to receive a request for IMM5669 Schedule A Background/Declaration form.
Be careful when you resubmit, because at this stage,IRCC may have found something, so they are trying to ensure that there are no gaps in your personal history and/or for IRCC to reconfirm the information you submitted

Odegaard:
On tracker, it changed to completed the same day. Hours before getting the RFV mail.

On GCkey, it was still showing ‘processing’. Although there was a final decision update the day before (July 17)

I booked at VFS Lagos. How does using courier work? I’m looking for the quickest option. Thanks

Search NL for "VFS PPR Passport"
You can also read up pg 1 & pg 121
Hope this helps?

Page 1 is self explanatory..what specific info do u require clarity on?

Odegaard:
Hello guys.

Timeline:
ITA - March 29
AOR - May 25
BIL(MEP) - June 14
BIO - June 20
RFV - July 18

I booked passport submission at the earliest date which is second week of August. Is it possible to submit at an earlier date?

Congrats. This is a season of good news! did u notice if/ when Background/Eligibility checks changed to Completed,before the RFV?
Which VFS did u book? Why not use courier, so you can send immediately or at an earlier date of ur choice?

Iknowthings:
Got RFV today.

AOR was 11th May 2023. Genuinely surprised at how fast the process is.

Please what’s the quickest VAC currently to submit mine & spouse’s passport and get fastest possible processing?. I have a separate work trip for late august so I’ll need my passport on time.

Thanks

Big Congrats, I tap into your speed!!!
