Hello respected folks,
I submitted my original passport at Lagos VAC on December 30, 2022. It's ready for pickup.
How do I pay for it to be couriered to me as I was emailed that in-person collection is suspended for now?
Thank you.

Regards!

I did not pay any money o.

teebullion1:

Also interested in knowing. Please who can help us confirm this. Which airlines will refund for 2nd leg of a return ticket and hope it won't be seen as default by CBN/bank.

ollysaks:


Air France gives a full refund but there might be some penalties, if there are defaults

Thank you

Good day to every one here, Please I would need a candid and critical response to my post. Thanks in anticipation!!!
I got an admission via an agent on the 7th of Dec. 22 to study computer Science at the university of Regina, Saskatchewan. From my intl. passport I’ll be 29 this year, i studied mechanic Engineering at Hnd level and graduated 2021 and I am married with an 11 month plus old daughter.
1.Do I stand a chance to get a visa even though I am able to present a good Proof of fund with my situation?
2. Will my age be a contention from the visa officers?
3.I don’t know if the agent used my Hnd transcripts to apply, if she did will that stand on my way from studying the new intended course at an undergraduate level?
P.S I did not choose the new intended course, rather the agent opted for that as a way to secure admission according to her.
4. If by any chance I get a visa, “the yearly tuition fee is $20,500” will I be able to work and pay the tuition fee for the remaining three years assuming I have the fee for the first year?

Not at all; instead, it will boost your chances of getting your application approved.

Can someone please confirm if the yellow or white biometrics slip is no longer being issued after biometrics at the VFS . A brother had his biometrics and was not issued any. What can he do?

Hello gurus in the house, I need some clarification

1) I applied for a 2years program in Conestoga College. However, on my acceptance letter the program starts from September 05, 2023 to December 15, 2024. Does this length count as 2 years?

2) For those that did property valuation, how do I go about it?

Abeg gurus in the house I need help.

I've created an account via gckey to begin an application.

The problem is to start the application. It keeps logging me out.

I've deleted cache and cookies, used different browsers, even created a new gckey account, yet the issue persist.

What else can I do?

Leadforteservic:
Thanks bro. I disturbed them with webforms ooo. I sent one to Nairobi office every morning by 7am and to Canada processing office by 12pm every day. It was just yesterday I took a break that BVL dropped. Keep disturbing them no matter what. Don't give up bro

sos123:
is LOI sent as a mail or it drops on the IRCC portal.

Why is this canada thing stressful. I thought collecting passport was the last stress.

@johnstan please who did you mail. Did you send any document?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot. This is much appreciated.

Please further enquiries from me.

I have a 10 year gap in education of which i have been working. I am planning on applying for Masters in project management or MBA. This is because i have been working on projects and managing contracts (internationally) for my company. I had a first class in my BSc that is totally unrelated to what i do presently.
1. Is it better to go for a one year MBA or a 2 yr masters in projects management (I saw a couple of one year Masters) considering plan to relocate after a PGWP.
2. Is it better to apply as a family of 6 since i plan to use it is as a pathway to emigrate or is it safer to simply apply 1st then request my family to join me. I have adequate PoF for a family of 6 including tuition. Although 2 of my kids are americans so not sure how the visa process affects them but i understand they may need a TRV or eTA.
3 . If i am to apply for the whole family (i really don't want to be separated from family) will landed properties, cars and a thriving business be good enough home ties? Additionally, my salary in Nigeria is quite high and i plan on stating that on my return the extra degree is expected to increase my earning which is an extra motivation to return to nigeria. Not sure if these will fly.
4. My family are currently in the USA, should my application be approved, will they need to come to nigeria to be thumb printed and do medicals since i am applying from nigeria or they can submit passports from the US and do their medicals there as well.
5. Just to be clear, is the POF to cover your entire tuition and the first year only (if doing a 2 yr course) or cover the 2 yrs including full tuition?
