Hi everyone,

I submitted my passport to Abuja since the 19th of May and till now I have not received it. After sending series of emails to vfs and chatting with several agents, finally I received a message on Wednesday that it has been couriered. Today I chatted with them to request the AWB number and they told me they don't have the number.

My question is that, is it possible for them to have couriered it and not have tracking number or did they lie that it has been couriered when it hasn't been

I'm tired o because I'm traveling next week and I won't be home for them to make the delivery anytime next week.

What can I do?

Please which courier partner does vfs use o? They said I should track my passport delivery via the courier partner website.

I submitted my parents passports to Abuja even though they did biometrics in Lagos

I got this message today:

Your processed decision envelope has been received at the Canada Visa Application Centre in Abuja OC, on Tue May 30 2023. We shall further send this to the Canada Visa Application Centre(Abuja OC) Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice. Please refer to the Buy Services page of the VAC website for further information on courier services offered by the VAC

Is it at this point that we pay the 18 410 naira for home delivery or we still wait.

Also since the passports are in the same envelope, is it one fee we are supposed to pay or we pay for each person?

Please help.

Please if I'm submitting passport for two people, would I submit separately or together and will I pay the transmission fee twice?

Yes, it's to Lagos

Congrats!

Please can you check if the bvl is address to Lagos?

Is it certain that the expiration date we see on the tracker is the same as what will actually be in the visa?

Can anyone please help me with information on submitting passport to vfs both Lagos and Abuja.

I'm hearing that they don't do dhl two way courier anymore.

Hello everyone,

I applied for my parents visit visa July 2022 and till now nothing.

Today, I checked the application the portal and in that part where you usually can see the application you submitted, there is nothing there. All I saw is no data available in table like I didn't submit any application.

Please has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know what I can do?

Thank you

Good morning my people. Long post alert.

Firstly, I’ll like to thank Almighty God for coming through for me. I just got PPR.

Timeline

Emails and web forms to Lagos and Nairobi: June 16
Bvl and PPR: June 23 (7:50am)

First time applicant.
I discovered this thread after I had applied and I immediately noticed some mistakes….. I didn’t submit my BSc transcript and I had lump sums moved to my dom account, although I briefly stated that the funds were transferred by my immediate family members in my LOE (this was verifiable from the statement’s inflow) and I also had almost zero outflow on the account.

I submitted personal MBS, papers statements of my sponsor and IELTS with my application so there was no NSE request.
My brother is a Canadian PR and he is my sponsor. I had tuition for 1 year and flight money in my GTB Dom account and he had my 10k CAD living cost set aside in a savings account of his.

I’m 25 years old and my program starts in August. For home ties, I used a property that was gifted to me by my mum, my parents and my job.

When I saw that people who applied after me were getting PPR requests, I started to lose faith. My mum saw I was down, prayed with me and I felt enlightened again. I want to encourage you all to keep the hope high. God will do it.

Side story
So at the time of my application, I was enrolled in a university in Nigeria. In my third year sef. But because of the strike and other things, I decided to move to Canada to start my undergrad afresh. I was so scared that this would be a complication in my application. I also applied exactly 1 week apart from my brother so this was another complication in my mind.

The wait was crazy because I had to still be attending school here in Nigeria just in case...lol. We thank God for grace.

Shout out to @Lekiboboe, @JustMellow, @Frankrobbn1, @Deoemmanuel and others who really helped answer my questions with regards to my application. God bless you guys abundantly.

Everyone still waiting, God is coming through for you and you will testify soon... Amen.

LONG POST ALERT!!!

As is often reiterated in this platform, no two applications is the same.
A BIG THANK YOU to all those who keep providing valuable information and offering guidance here. God bless and keep you.

Timeline:
1st application 2016
Applied for PGD in HRM to Georgian College
Refused on basis of;
# Home ties (I applied for visitors visa for my husband and first child, my other two are US citizens)
# Finanicial bla bla bla (VO wasn't convinced the course was a reasonable expense, no career progression and he claimed there was a bulk cash lodgement into the account, which unfortunately wasn't true)

2nd application 2020
Applied for MHRM in University of Regina
Refused primarily because I wasn't "totally truthful" in my application. I had clicked yes on the previous refusal of visas but unfortunately it was only the details of my previous study permit application I dwelt on. Other excuses about section R216 ie not leaving Canada were mentioned in the rejection but my GCMS highlighted that the VO's main concern was the non-declaration of the US visa refusal.

3rd Application -7th March, 2021
NSE request - 12th March, 2021
NSE submission- 3rd April, 2021
L,R,W,S were 9,9,7.5,7.5 respectively (screenshot was uploaded since hard copy hadn't been received)

# For myself, I only submitted my employment letter, confirmation of employment and introduction letter from my employer.
I stated in my SOP that since I will not be earning an income through the duration of my studies I don't feel the need to submit my own bank details so it doesn't divert the attention ,(not stated in those exact words o)

International passports of myself, my husband and 3 kids. They serve as home ties.

I hope I haven't left anything out.

I graduated with a 2.2 in accounting and finance but got the MHRM offer through the experience route which is for people who have worked in HR for about 7years and above. I had to write a convincing letter to the graduate school and was given the grwenlight to go ahead with my application

I am 37 going on 38 in August but that didn't deter me.

Thank you so much @frankrobbn1 @justwise @lekiboboe and all the other contributors too numerous to mention. You are a blessing!!!
