Hi everyone.

Please how long does it take for passport to be ready for collection after submitting to VFS?

VFS received my passport since Friday last week. This is the last email I received from VFS on Tuesday this week (Your application has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on Tue Jul 11 2023)

Pls how long will it take to receive the passport collection email ? I reside near VFS Abuja, should I visit their office or wait? Thank you.

I paid for mine on the 6th and I got it back today

I was reading the VFS instruction for passport submission and saw this item:
A copy of your biometrics sticker, if applicable

What does that mean? I don't think I have such a sticker. One thing that looks like a sticker was pasted on the photocopy of my passport photograph.

That little sticky paper on your photocopied passport is the sticker

Hello Fam
I want to provide some insight into passport submission after PPR.

For Lagos and Abuja Residents
You may wish to book an appointment at VAC Lekki or Abuja to submit your passport in-person. Alternatively, you can go any nearest UPS or DHL and have them courier your passport to the VAC (this does NOT require an appointment).

For now, I STRONGLY advice against paying VFS to courier your passport back to you after your Visa has been stamped as there have been reports of delays in passport delivery by VFS. Go to the VAC and pick up your passport in-person

For Non Lagos and Abuja Residents
I would advice you send your passport and accompanying documents via UPS or DHL to the VAC in either Lagos or Abuja.
If you have all the time in the world before you have to travel then you can pay the courier fee to VFS so that your passport can be mailed back to you, however be aware that you may experience significant delay in getting your passport delivered back to you.
Alternatively and this is a better option in my opinion, you can either travel down to the VAC location you submitted and pick up in-person or you fill the 3rd page of the consent form with the details of a friend or relation who resides in Lagos or Abuja depending on where u submitted, so that the person can pick up on your behalf.

Note if you wish to submit your passport to the VAC other than where you captured your Biometrics, you are required to pay a transmission fee (it was N9410 as of last week but I dont know if this has changed, so kindly confirm first)

I hope this helps someone and if anyone has a need for any clarification on the above matter, you may contact me directly.

Best regards.

But it was started on there website that I person collection is suspended till full notice

Please I have a question as regards study permit. I am using a sponsor, my hubby elder brother in the US, do I still need money in my personal account and how much..please someone reply, thanks!!

the answer is yes even with your sponsor you still need to put a certain amount in your account let say 5 to 7 million to show that you already have your feeding allowance and funds to settle your immediate bills aside the fact that you will be sponsored also ensure theirs is tier between you and your sponsor

macdeeza:
the best advice for you is to travel with the admission that got you the visa. inside Canada, you can try to change the DLI. if you switch school while in Nigeria, that will invalidate your visa and you will have to apply for a fresh study permit with the new program.

I will advice you go back to your IRCC portal click on the additional document section then upload the new school admission letter and also explain the reason why you changed school there so they can be aware of the resent changes cause when you get to the point of entry where they will issue your study permit all your file will be there and once they notice any anomalies Omo them fit send person back ooo
