Please how much did you pay for pickup

Hello, I went to pick up myself today. I didn’t pay any money. It was faster than I expected. I submitted on Thursday and it was ready for pick up yesterday.

I submitted in March. Grateful that it’s all over now.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my inquiries. Wish everyone favourable responses.

Ok thanks alot. I understand now.

Did you use DHL. I want to know if you successfully did a two-way courier.

Yes I did my biometrics in Lagos but they said since this isn’t my first time submitting I have to pay per every time I send my passport.

Congrats to all the April Candidates approved.

All those refused, get your gcms notes and if you can fix the issue you can reapply if the stress is worth it.

Hi
Where do I start. I have a valid USA and UK visa. I just want to give Canada a try. I also have a good travel history.


Then just login to the cic portal.
Fill the forms on their website applying for tourism for a week.
In the document upload section, upload your US visa and also tick the having US visa section.
Your chances of getting it is high.
Give it a shot

I used DHL to drop off my package on a Friday. They delivered it on Monday and I received a call from them(VFS) that evening to make a payment. I paid, but then I got another call the next day to pay again. I informed them that I had already paid. They sent my passport on Tuesday. Although it was ready on Friday, I was busy, so I picked it up on Monday.

[quote author=yoyome20 post=132126180][/quote] Relax yourself. you are not the only one in that shoe. Canada Application process takes 9 months or more and it is stated clearly at the start of the application if you apply from the UK. Application from 9ja takes fewer months. If there is an issue with your application in the UK, you will have received a rejection at the early stage of your submission, though I may be wrong ooooo and I am speaking for myself. Ask anyone who got their application approved from the UK, it takes 9 months or more. I think if u have been to Canada before or the USA, the process is much faster from anywhere.

Yes, i am relaxed and waiting for when they reply. But i applied from Nigeria, not the UK. At the right time, i will hear from them grin

Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by naivasha: 3:09pm On Sep 25
Good day all,

Just want to share my experience today, maybe it will help someone. So I got my PPR 3 weeks ago but today was the earliest available date I saw on the VFS website. I booked my appointment to submit at VFS Lagos at 9:50am. On getting there, I was given the impression (by all those boys you see hanging around the area) that passport submission is now to be processed via DHL (which is conveniently next door to VFS). I mentioned that I had an appointment letter for VFS but they said that the process has changed and DHL now receives the passports on behalf of VFS.

Inside DHL, we began checking to confirm all the documents were complete. And then the guy informs me that the service fee is 15,000 naira. "Excuse me? For what?" He tells me that's how it is. So I ask him what's the point of going through DHL when VFS is right there. He then says I need to have an appointment in order to submit inside VFS. At this point I realise that I am dealing with the wrong folks so I grab all my stuff and head to VFS. Of course by the time I get there I am about ten minutes late for my slot but after explaining, the security guard was kind enough to let me in and I was able to submit. It took about an hour and fifteen minutes from when I entered to when I left. Also since I did my biometrics in Abuja and I submitted my passport in Lagos, I thought I would be required to pay the Package Transmission Fee but no one asked me to do so. Perhaps I misunderstood the instructions on that. Or maybe I will still be asked to pay at some point. Anyways, let's see how it goes. I'll try and keep everyone updated.

In summary, don't be like me and let those touts deceive you. If you have an appointment booking with VFS, go straight there. And be punctual. If you are not able to get a booking (that is suitable for you) then DHL is your best bet but of course you will pay for the convenience they offer.

Congratulations! Please wat was the reason for the initial denial? I also submitted spousal application in Nov 2023 and visit visa in Dec 2023.

The visit visa was denied in July 2024. But I didn't reapply for visit visa. Still waiting for PPR for the spousal application and thinking of reapplying for visit visa in the meantime.

The DHL guy printed it for me and gave me to sign , I didn’t pay for it, one way dhl was 18500 I don’t know if he inflated the fees but he told me to walk in to pick up and not do a two way for 30k.

Good morning gurus in the house.
I have an appointment at VFS submission center Lagos on Monday 30th September 2024. I will really appreciate if someone can help me on how to confirm if the biometrics and appointment letter at the vfs is legit, it was a travel agency that help me with the booking but why I'm concerned is because 2 of my friends travel all the way from Delta State to Lagos and they were told at the VFS submission center that the biometrics and appointment letter is fake. Please help me so I can save my time and money.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jeboy(m): 10:48am On Sep 27
With all the info here it baffles me ppl are still patronizing agents over DIY. Nobody can confirm if your VFS appointment is fake here.

This is the same manner we prefer to reach God via "agents" when you can have access directly. May God have mercy on our lazy attitudes.

That packaging has earned some folks 5 to 10 years ban. It's not as if they even usually use standard and repuatble agents who has a name to protect.
