Which date did you submit your passport and which VFS?
Did you receive any mail for the change/update?

My passport arrived VFS Lagos on 27th October.
Yes I received an email for the update by IRCC (but I only saw my counterfoil details)

I only got "other" after PPR.

Then I got counterfoil and status changed to approved.

Where is the letter of introduction supposed to be found pls?

I'm yet to receive it too. Hopefully soon.

Tracy2020:


It’s on their website. I don’t know if I can post the link here.
Under VFS services, you’ll see Courier service then Courier services available at the Visa Application Centre for return of your passport at the address provided, there’s a link to the table.

Pls write the website, I need to check it out.

Hey good evening guys.

Submitted my passport last week Tuesday and when I called VFS this week, they said it was still at IRCC. I requested for the travel exemption letter and quarantine plan from my school after filling the travel request form and they told me to book my flight in the next three days and send them the details as they have tentatively reserved a space for me already and would need to confirm my traveling before finalizing the required documents.

So my question is, is it wise to book my flight despite my application status not changing to Approved or not receiving the counterfoil and intro letter yet?

Which hospital you use abeg??

silvamania:
My Upfront Medical last week has been updated to passed yesterday

October 4th Applicant

See my status as attached


It will surely end in praise

You,ve been approved already. But just relax. Allow a space one one week. Remember, you also need to travel with some CAD in cash. You need to request for this from your bank. I haven't done this before sha. BTA is for business trips.
There is a provision for students. I also don't know how long it takes for the bank to approve such amount of CAD, e.g $4,000CAD. So, this should also be considered before booking flight.

Login to your CIC account. Check your dashboard. The final comment says Approved. Kindly verify. I think it is for all Passport request holders sha.
NOTE: In my case, this Approval reflected in FINAL DECISION box, even before I received the confirmation Approval from CIC, on Tuesday

My GCMS dropped this night and I am a bit confused of the highlighted. Do they mean I might be scheduled for an interview or is it a generic message before approval is being effected?
Also I have attached my application profile...FYI, I already deferred my class to Fall 2021 as my program only starts in Sept.

Hello guys, I need you thoughts on this if you have ever experience it.

Its a case of an applicants pursuing student visa for two universities at different countries ( U.S and Canada) simultaneously same courses and almost same course duration. But Canada is the applicants preferred choice/destination.

If the U.S student visa was approved on time and passport stamped already and then later the Canadian visa becomes sucessful and IRCC requested for the applicants passport to be stamped.
Questions:
1)Will the passport be rejected at the Canadian VAC,
2) if the Canada stamps the passport, at the Canadian /u.s border will questions arise and will applicant be sent back home.


Please share any similar experience.

Thanks

Congrats @ evergold, Please what documents and funding did you have to show to enable you get a ppr with your wife?
thank you

evergold:
My wife and I got our passport request yesterday and we are still waiting for our daughter's. Below is our timeline:
_______________________________________
AOR - February 20, 2020

Medical - N/A

Biometrics - N/A

BVL - August 5, 2020

GCMS Notes Application: September 17, 2020

GCMS Notes Received: October 12, 2020 - Counterfoil Approved (August 5th)

Approval/PPR: November 12, 2020
__________________________________________________________________________

We did biometrics together at VFS in December 2019. The VFS printout has both our name. I am wondering if I can send both our passports in the same envelope to VFS since the VFS printout has both our name?

Also what is the procedure for two way courier, please?

Thanks

For Canada, you will get a visitor visa stamped on your passport and then given a letter that’ll be presented to the Border Officer at the airport in Canada who will issue the study permit.
The two processes are mutually exclusive; not linked at all.
It is until you arrive in Canada that you effectively have a student visa.

You can take your passport with US visa stamp to the Canadian High commission and they will stamp their own visa as well without any issues.

I hope this answers your question except you are talking about something else entirely.

I don't think you can get CAD from Nigeria. I think it's USD that can be gotten from banks.
One can request for PTA(personal travel allowance) and you're entitled to a maximum of 4,000 USD.

Hello ericksen,

The “interview required” might be for another visa officer to look through. Not for you.

Your application looks very positive. Start packing your bags

It’s wise to wait for your intro letter to drop and your passport returned.

No, the person shouldn’t experience any problem.

Yes it says Approved on the final decision. I hope application status changes to approved by next week.
Are you saying a minimum of 4k CAD cash is needed to take there? If not, how much?
The reason I thought it would make sense to book is because the spaces for quarantine might be limited and bombarded cause it's relatively affordable (560 for housing plus food for the two weeks)
Kindly advise further please

No visa officer will grant a study permit application to a qualified lawyer to undertake any of these programs you listed above. Let him do Masters program in Nigeria to improve on his 2:2 and then apply for an LLM in Canada.

Please I have the same issue, I already have a BSc in health education and I have been admitted to an undergraduate program in a school in Canada through the university 1 route. Does anyone know how this works? Cos I'm planning to declare my first degree in the Visa application to be able to cover the study gap .

I ve seen some in other schools that cost 1890 for both weeks. There was even one whose school asked him to quarantine at a hotel for 190 per week.

I'm sorry to say but your application doesn't show any progression in career and chances of approval might be slim. You could give it a trial tho but it's not advisable. I was once a victim too as one fake instagram agent decieved me. All the best tho

Track your return parcel to check if they have received it. I also paid for two way courier and I have been tracking it . It showed that they've collected my passport and it's on transit to me. They do honour two way courier dont pay any extra in-house fee if you did a two way courier. If peradventure your passport is ready and it hasn't been picked up. Do well to contact the courier service you used.

Good Morning. Please did you pay the 12k to VFS aside the 2-way courier cost? or can you just break the process down from how you submitted your passport to how you are getting it (transmission to you). Reason is that an officer at the Lagos VAC told me yesterday that we’d still need to pay the 12k notwithstanding the 2-way courier payment already made to DHL in my case. Just confused.

Thank you.

I didn't pay the 12k, I only paid for two way courier. I'm still expecting the package.

1st you need to be sure that the cheaper course you want to select aligns with your education/career background and it represents a career progression.
2ndly, You would likely be asked to apply afresh for the new course.
All in all, mail them explaining your intentions, they will guide you accordingly

Sharonyeah:
Hello, please can someone help me out
I applied to Centennial college for Global business Management, May 2021. I got a mail back that I had to pay a deposit before I could get an acceptance letter.
After going through the tuition fees breakdown the school sent to me, I realized that there are cheaper courses I could take in the same school.
I wanted to ask if it’d be wise to send a mail to Centennial College that I would like to change my course.


Yes, you can go ahead and ask for a change of course but please give them good reason for requesting for a change. I did the same.

Also, yes. I paid initial deposit of 2650cad before my acceptance letter was given.

I had similar experience at FCMB, my account officer didnt know about it.Customer care said they have not started but based on available info, i knew the mybankstatement service has started. I called the hq customer service and it was done for me on phone. But for GTBank and others, u can seemlessly generate it from mobile app.In summary, call you bank customer care line and be ready with info about the period of time that the bank statement should cover.
It shall end in praise!

1oak:
Thanks for the reply. Please how do I generate Mybankstatement from Ecobank and Zenith bank in my area don’t seem to know what it is when I walked in. Please is there a particular way to generate Mybankstatement?

You should ask your school for an extension citing these obvious reasons
