1 month ago to be exact.. oh welll

NanaF:


Yeah. Someone posted that Lagos has stopped collecting the fee where applicable because it’s stated on their website that if you did your biometrics at the same place, you don’t have to pay the package transmission fee. So it’s likely you did yours some weeks or months ago?

hope these are not the ones that bounced ...

info@frsc.gov.ng and NDLVerification@frsc.gov.ng

Everygirl:
Please who has the FRSC email address. The one I saw in a post bounced.

thanks

so next week then... thank you for the update

bankyh1905:
Thanks for the update. I also learnt that a new passport batch will arrive at VFS on Monday.

thank you so much ......

bekayy:
Update.

@Natalie27 @bankyh1905. I went to the VFS office, Abuja. Passport is still in Accra. I was told to wait for the text so maybe next week. Cheers.

this is quite confusing though as i didn't make any payment for bio metrics but was asked to pay 8200 when i went to submit my passport and as bankyh1905 stated it was quite legit.

NanaF:


No. I made no payment during biometrics.

quick one.. did you make any payment during your biometrics because i paid 8,200 when i went to submit my passport even after presenting the slip.

NanaF:
Finally submitted my passport today alongside my biometrics slip and was not asked for any money.

Please whoever can should update Page 1 with this info.

Update : so I just got a mail stating there’s been a change in my status. Logged in and this time I could see my document status which had my counter foil, document number and visa expiration date..
quote author=Natalie27 post=85814929]i just checked mine now, application was approved yesterday but no document for counterfoil or counter foil number yet.. thanks .

MOVO:


Natalie27, please when did you submit your passport and which VFS?

i just checked mine now, application was approved yesterday but no document for counterfoil or counter foil number yet.. thanks .

bekayy:
Banky thanks for your input. For me, my profile now shows approved and shows document: counterfoil as well as the counterfoil number. I will go there on Friday if no text comes. Cheers.

LOL,

Please give us an update when you go if its not too much trouble. I submitted on the 16th of Dec as well and like she stated the tracking ID is of no use.

bekayy:
Thank you for this. Me i am giving them till Friday, if no text, i'm going to their office. Congrats again.

Am elatedddddd...

14th July 2019 (TYPING…………)

DECISION TO EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY
I was told about EE September 2017, I was on my way to work with a friend and I still remember vividly the spark in his eyes when he found out my age plus I had a master’s degree. He was like “do you know you have a free pass to Canada” and he filled me in. He had already started the process and I was keen from the get go as I always wanted a way out of this country. I would apply for NGO’s, international jobs that would require me leaving Nigeria but no show.

October my friend got his PR. He came to my house with his passport and the next month I paid for my WES

IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS (ECA)
November I registered for WES, MY friend is a doctor (so his process was quite different)and till now I can’t really understand how he knows little to nothing about EE (LOL) because he told me that I had to evaluate all my degrees, I even added SSCE but later removed it(can’t remember why ).
By February 2018 my MSC was done (you know how schools in the abroad don’t waste time), so that was a breeze.
For my undergrad, I wouldn’t say it was stressful compared to what is going on today, I had previously requested for my transcript so it was quite easy. I also had help from someone at EXAMS and RECORDS because for some reason I could not find my clearance, gown and all other receipts you need to get your certificate (UPDATE I recently found them when I visited home SMH).
Unfortunately, at the beginning of 2018 ASUU was on strike and once they called it off in April, my contact at UNIBEN was able to verify at a fee of 15k (just to respond to an email oh). It was at this time I discovered naira land (I think Part 4but was anonymous till August) and found out that I only needed to verify my highest degree. Report was ready May 13th 2018. I merged my WES report, IELTS result, BSC and MSC certificates.



START THE JOURNEY NO MATTER WHAT (IELTS)
I had asked my dad for POF but he wasn’t keen on this idea as he would prefer I ‘settled down’ since I had a “good job” according to him.

Then June 2018, I got a call from one of my paddy’s (you know does kind of paddy that you don’t talk to for a while and when you eventually do…..its gbas gbo gbasss) long story cut short, my friend had relocated. The next week I was moved to another unit at work to replace someone who was relocating as well. They all advised I go ahead that POF will sort itself (and they were right)
There and then I registered for my exams for the last week of July.


PLOT TWIST

I had thought by December 2018 I would be a Canadian PR but I did struggle with the writing module and wrote the exam 4times, but once I found Chris Pell it was like everything now made sense lol and with CRS of 450, I was good to go. My IELTS success story can be found here https://www.nairaland.com/natalie27/posts/1




PRE ITA

I created a Canada Folder on my google drive with sub folders like ECA, NIG PCC, UK PCC, MEDICALS. So I uploaded directly from my drive once I received ITA. I also had an excel for my personal history, address history and travel history.



Digital Passport
Took mine at BHstripes on Bode thomas street, 500 for 4copies and another 500 to send a soft copy.

MEDICALS

I was always lucky when booking for my medicals, yes medicals because after my 2nd IELTS remark I always hoped it was the last, so I would book upfront and I always spoke/sent mails to people who gave me what I needed because a lot of naira landers complained then that they were unable to book upfront medicals.

I did my medicals July 12th, i arrived some minutes after 6 and I was number 5. A lady there was checking if we brought the right documents, it was raining and I think some rain drops fell on my passport. When we finally got in, another lady wanted to see if the white background of our passport was pure white and then she saw a watermark and said they won’t accept my passport. I had to dash to my office to get another one.

I also informed the nurse that UNCLE RED just arrived town, she said I can still go ahead and do my medicals. But I was then informed by the doctor that the protein in my urine was 3+. She said I would have to come back the next day to do another urinalysis test (not free by the way). When I asked my doctor friends and searched google I was made to understand that it was because of Uncle R… NEXT DAY I drank a lot of water and peed twice and then I was cleared.


PROOF OF FUNDS

I got a gift deed from my Dad (he finally keyed into my vision lol), He transferred 4m to my FBN account and I transferred 3,6m to my AXA Mansard Money Market Account. I merged my first bank statement (just 1 page to show the inflow), Gift deed (not notarised), AXA mansard reference letter and 6months statement (I felt if they saw the outflows and inflows they would know funds are readily available and it could be likened to a regular account, dunno if that worked)


LOE
I explained why I could not get My NYSC reference letter on the organization’s letter head and how I was paid in cash during camp for the first month. I also explained the inflow and outflow of my proof of funds. I uploaded this in the client information place holder.

PCC

I believe this was the easiest process in this whole journey. I applied for my UK PCC (used my statement of account as proof of address in Nigeria and my NINO as proof of address in the UK ) and had it sent to my friend who scanned it to me. (NB I studied in Scotland and its one and the same UK PCC). Inspector Moshood assisted with my Nigerian PCC. it was done in proxy after he sent me the form. Paid 4K.



TRAVEL DOCUMENT
I uploaded only the bio data page of my current passport and stamped pages.


DELAY IS NOT DENIAL
Over one year after I wrote my first IELTS and got my ECA, I finally submitted my application on the 1st of August.



POST AOR

After I submitted my application, I decided to focus on other things to avoid getting worried. I Focused on my annoying time consuming job (which really helped) and losing weight (lost 13kg thus far). But trust me, I did panic sometimes whenever I read anything disturbing on naira land. I did not join any whatsApp group, i tried to log in once every Sunday as TOPSMAMEN advised (after I saw my MED and Biometrics request mail 2days late) but most times I forgot (every time). I also consciously gave IRCC till July next year when my medicals would expire to get PR so I don’t feel disappointed, depressed or frustrated.

I would research about different provinces, read the landing in Canada thread as well (always been there). Look up houses on rent faster, kijiji.

BIOMETRICS

I got my medicals passed notification and biometrics request letter on the 23rd, I didn’t see it till the 25th. I went on the 26th to VFS. I remember the security man’s asking I pay 5K
MAN : “madam you look like person when leave office, if you pay me 5k I go talk to my guys make them answer you sharp sharp”…
ME: Oga no worry, I no de hurry
And he frowned his face, giving my tag so rudely … but I spent about 4hours there shaaa…they were just slow.


PPR MAIL
The day I saw the mail, something kept telling me, check you mail, check your mail and I didn’t until I wanted to do some work and bam it was there, sitting pretty since the 13th.

I submitted my passport on the 14th. They were faster this time even though the network was down. I submitted my PPR mail, height chart, passport photograph with the photo studio’s stamp and date, documents that was given to me after my biometrics, passport and N8200.

I am so grateful to God, my family and every naira lander here… Special thanks to TOPSMAMMEN, CANADIANENGINEE, CUTEGUY201, MCSTAN, TRANSFORMIUM et ainsi de suite. Despite all the obstacles everything worked for my good.



I got all the help I needed from Canada.ca and this forum. For every one on this journey I wish you all the best. I started as Natalie27 and now am Natalie29…lol

[quote author=Graiccy post=84779465][/quote]if the school is refusing to give you a reference letter, you can approach a staff of the school that most probably supervised you .. you can get a letter from him or her , notarise it , get their work ID as well and explain in your LOE .

The owner of the card will get a credit alert some days after payment with narration FX DIFFERENCE.. when you recalculate then, the rate would be about 280.

successhungry:
Hi,everyone. Please,i have an issue at hand. I paid rprf using an access bank debit card;used another person's card because of exchange rate. When i received a feedback,the total amount deducted was 281,004naira (for 2people)which made the exchange rate 286.7naira to a canadian dollar. I used gtb when paying application fee and was charged 282 naira/ CAN dollar. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this high exchange rate..please,who has used access bank for such transactions lately? Or has an idea. Thanks in anticipation

Apparently Qlife now insist that individuals must have ITA before they can book for medicals

MY LANDING GIST
This is actually part 3... Part one and two is in the "landed" thread
IT'S A LONG READ... BRACE YOURSELF.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE IGNORE THE TYPOS

You can use your debit card to pay for it despite credit card written on the platform, try another bank

Funky123:
Hello house....please we were at the edge of paying Wes with our MasterCard but it wasn't going....Getting to zenith bank now,they said the Atm card is debit card and not credit card....Please what other method can we use in paying Wes and is it possible for someone in Canada to pay for us

So I had this same issue when I wrote my first IELTS and got LSWR 9,8,7.5,6... I got an ineligible mail after I tried to create my profile. I had age, masters and 2years work experience, had put in the right NOC and 13,000CAD . I came to narialand then and Mcstan tried to help, I even tried again using a tutorial on you tube but got the same result .. I had asked for a remark then and immediately it was increased to 6.5 I tried again and it was successful . I also have a friend that has the same issue, so maybe she should just hold on till she rewrites

Fidesa:


i was with her last night and we filled it together, next thing we saw was "profile ineligible"
Me sef i taya.
if anyone can provide solution i will be very much grateful.

My face literally when I see Landing gist and yours is so detailed ...

Thank God for journey mercies and i wish you all the best ....

How about for children?

Hiya,

Been to London to see to queen,
Just been a silent observer, how are you doing ?

Richness1104:
Waoo, it’s been a long time I saw your post or comment. Where have you been?

Interestingly i called to book medicals for july the the first week of June, and i was told that if i intend to get a date in July i should call the next week or take June 27th. I didn't want June 27th because i knew i would have a VERY important meeting that morning but i accepted. Last week when i was sure i will be no show i sent a mail and i was rescheduled. No hassle. And trust me i have spoken to people earlier who also told me that i cant be booked unless i have ITA.

Scandinavian02:



Qlife is overwhelmed. I think I support this latest move by them as some people without ITAs book dates and NO SHOW thereby depriving ITA holders.

If they continue dishing out dates, they may find themselves giving out January 2021.

Well like i said, it depends on who picks your call. You can try again tomorrow or just send a mail, you will be surprised.

Gnomic5:
I called Qlife today, the person said i can only book an appointmrnt if have my ITA letter and bio data page of my int passport....I should send a mail attaching the 2 before I can get a response on how to book

While IOM responded by mail with details of available dates and payment plan.....

q

i think you should just call.. With Qlife i beleive the person you speak with determines the response, i was able to send a mail and book before ITA
and even reschedule with favourable dates and this is very recent.

Bazbaby:


Okay. Thank you.

i think you should just call.. With Qlife i believe the person you speak with determines the response, i was able to send a mail and book before ITA and even reschedule with favorable dates and this is very recent.

Thanks , if the reference already captured all the requirements that CIC needs including annual salary (ie 19800 +19650 *11)there would be no need for explanations right ?

Topsmamen:


Yes, state it in your reference letter that you were paid in cash in the first month of your employment or you indicate this in an LOE.

Thank you ....

Ifeoma77:

By writing it in a simple LOE. Fortunately, the VOs are very familiar with NYSC by now so you really don't need to sweat it

@ Topsmamen @ifeoma and any one else please how can one include the fact that they were paid cash the first month of their nysc in their reference letter and that they worked at their PPA for only 11months Because bank statements only show transactions for a period of 11months.

quote author=Topsmamen post=79268788]

Sure. Let him write the reference letter for you.[/quote]

Money market, they have better rates
