Try VFS global

I have searched VFS website to book appointment for passport submission in their Lagos office. But the nearest available dates are toward the end of September. So, I checked the VFS Abuja, and found available dates for 29th and 30th of August. My question is: will I need to travel down to Abuja to submit the passport for visa stamping? Or I can just go to any DHL or UPS Office to send the passport to Abuja VFS?

Please, anybody with the answer, kindly advise.

Congrats boss. I thank God that he came through for you. This is good news.
Muslimity:


@MarksmanD and other well wishers,

I am happy to share the good news that my PPR letter landed early this morning.

I submitted all the requested additional documents with a truthful LOE to IRCC, and the caring Lord answered my prayer. Alhamdulillah, all glory to Him.

I will be back soon with lessons learned. Thank you all and I wish the hopefuls the best of luck.

Please advise on the most effective and fast option for submitting my passport for stamping.

You can only go about it if you have the money in foreign currencies (USD, GBP, CAD) and you can only pay with a domiciliary account. When you open your GIC account, ensure that the name you used to open the account is exactly the same as the one on your dom account. Same arrangements of first and middle names. Your sponsor can't send the money from their Dom account to your GIC account. The money must be sent from your Dom account to your GIC account. Both names on the account must match. You can do GIC of 10k cad or 20,600 cad or more. But you can only send the money once, you can't top-up on your investment. You have to decide what amount you would be sending first. I used UBA when I did mine. I was told to open an application request via the Form A portal so they can process the application. Within 3 days, CIBC confirmed payment of the transfer. I did mine at the UBA branch Ikeja, Awolowo road, not too far from Ikeja City Mall. I watched some videos on YouTube some Indians did before I proceeded to doing mine to be assured about it. You can also search for the videos on YouTube. Good luck chief on your next application.
Bensticks1:

Thanks so much. I’ll advise her accordingly

Any one in the house know how to go about GIC?

When I was in secondary school, classmates used to say a quote when in a dilemma like "you're in heaven, but you want to still go to hell."
Germany is heaven. Canada and Australia are hell. Depends on your residency status in Germany, but if you're settled there and fully assured there, just learn German and start your life there. Canada and Australia are distractions you don't need right now because they don't want migrants, especially international students. Also there no jobs in these two countries and their economy isn't better than Germany. If you think Germany taxes are too high for 14% for every 59k, Canada is 15% and Australia is 16%. Also, their currencies CAD and AUD, are very inferior to the EUR. Don't be enticed by what you see on social media about Canada and Australia. The only country I can tell you to relocate to over Germany is the USA. Like the famous proverb says: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Please do your research before you take my advice.

Nobody in Canada has ever come up to advice another to come over. Is it truly bad over there?
Can someone exhaust his 3 years PGWP without PR even when he started applying for PR immediately after school?

And the money will be frozen after you arrived you are required to withdraw only 992 euro per month for monthly expenses..

Canada isn't bad. The problem with Canada is they didn't plan well for mass migration. People who migrated to Canada before Covid-19 have had it better. It was Canada's open door migration after the lockdown that has made it look bad. Canada are trying to clean up the mess they created with mass migration because it has affected their housing and job market and the economy. Let me tell you for a fact, compare the people who migrated to Canada and the UK a decade ago. Those who are in Canada are doing far better than those in the UK. They have gotten permanent residency, citizenship, bought a house, started their own jobs. I don't blame Canada and Australia right now, but they need to clean up the mess they created. It might take a decade to clean it up. It's very possible to get a 3 years PGWP and not get permanent residency. The whole process thing is based on luck, but you can increase your chances to get lucky. Don't be discouraged, Canada might be the place God wants you to go to. So just pray about it instead of dwelling on the negatives.

What Germany have done is better boss. If Canada had enforced every student to open a GIC account, maybe some students who submitted fake account statements with the intent of working to pay for their living expenses and school fees won't have faced the hardship that has caused some of the student crisis in Canada. Also, almost all German public schools are tuition free and the ones you even pay for tuition collects far lesser tuition fees than Canadian public schools where you pay 10x more than a residents.
I have two acquaintances who migrated to Germany almost a decade when they started their free tuition, they stopped schooling and have transitioned into their labor markets. Like dem never graduate till now ooo!
If not because I had bad grades in uni, I would have just gone to Germany since. Let's not compare both both countries. Germany is so far better than Canada in everything.

Canada would be my recommendation. It is a good country to do that in. There are a lot of programs that support what you mentioned although some require you to pay like the entrepreneurial program if you are looking for a PR.

You should do some research on the best program to suit your goals because I personally would suggest you only consider the study route if you have the fees and living costs to comfortably finish and graduate.

What do you have to say about Japan compared to Canada?
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by MarksmanD: 11:12am On Aug 29
Lol 😂 I don't know anything about Japan other than their women are refusing to get married and have children, they have a weak currency and their dwindling population. I'll prefer Canada because it is a multicultural society than Japan which isn't very diverse.

Thank you very much. I've garnered more insights from your disposition.
I actually like Canada so much and wish to migrate through study route. The target is PR hence I'm scrutinizing the possibility it presents especially for Engineering courses. Nobody will want to waste so much money and still come back. No be say school too dey sweet us.
