My exam starts next week after three months of online learning. I booked a flight for Saturday already. I've paid for quarantine plans sef. I've made concrete plans that would go to waste if I don't travel this week. VFS is just making me stressed.

Have you tried calling today ?

In transit from VI to Lekki Phase 1 for over one week? What's wrong with VFS sef? We paid for this thing and even overpaid sef. It's so sad that the Nigerian factor has rubbed off VFS Lagos.


I don no if they are using boat to carry this thing.

It's just so sad that this Canada journey is so difficult. After escaping the snail speed of IRCC and barely managing to get an approval, VFS Lagos will add their own "pick two" to the struggle by making you appear useless. To send your passport to the embassy is a major problem. Now you have managed to get the counterfoil, to get your passport back is another wahala. Close to one month just to stamp passport and over one week just to return what has been stamped even when return courier fee has been paid for on time.

This phase of my life has been the toughest.


On Thursday last week I was told it will arrive Vfs on Friday, and was sent the courier form to make payment. Today they are telling me it’s still in transit I should call back on Thursday to check.

My house is 5min drive from Vfs, I paid 11k yet. I had to call and call before I got tracking number self. & all had to call before it was finally processed and sent to Visa office.

Now I still have to be calling to know when it’s ready for pickup. I have a scheduled flight for Monday � sad guy I no fit vex o.

That 11k no fit go o. I will change the address to port harcourt. Nah they should send it there.

Thank you. Please can you share their office address and what you mean by on hold. Also, do you know if they have flight insurance.

Address: 3 Idowu Taylor St, Victoria Island, Lagos. You book on hold to keep your reservation, if you can’t pay instantly or having issue making payment using what ever payment portal they provide.

Please people that booked Ethiopian airline did you book directly from the airline or used an agent. Please help

Book directly from the airline, it will be cheaper. But I don’t think their payment portal is working properly so you might have to go to book on hold and pay at their office.

Hello All,

So I hear students with a 1 way ticket are not eligible for PTA. Does anyone know why? How do you get your funds? Black market?

Generally to use PTA you must have return ticket. So If you don’t have return ticket your next best option is black market which is more expensive.

Or if you know any one that has Dollar account @ hand and willing to sell for you cheap.

Could you please post the courier consent form here? I really can't wait for VFS to send it since they are unpredictable.

Nope. Still on “Submitted”

Like you, I did not receive any single mail from Vfs since the 4th. But mine has changed to approved. I had to call again today when I say people are receiving mails about passport returned to Vfs. The guy said It’s on transit back to their office & sent me the courier form to fill.

If the lines are busy try the web chat. That helps too

No update yet. Couldn’t reach VFS all day.

I’ve sent emails to IRCC lagos but got a automated mail saying I have to raise a webform as the high commission is operating at reduced capacity due to COVID.

Has your gc key changed to approved?

Hi everyone,
I want to retrieve my stamped passport from VFS. Please, is this the right form? If yes, please how can I fill it? What do they mean by "Name of the person to collect the decision on my behalf"?

No this is not the right form to fill.

Your mails may have been going to the spam box. Or maybe they made a mistake when inputting your email address.

Nah. No mail in spam and, I marked anything VFS or IRCC as important in my mail too. When I called to make complaint about the mail ish, the lady said nothing she could do, she only asked me to send mail to Vfs Lagos which I did. They only replied yesterday, with nothing valuable.

Anyways just happy it went well. I suggest I’d you haven’t gotten a single mail from Vfs after you submitted your passport just make sure you get your tracking ID

I haven’t received any single mail from VFS since the 4th I submitted my passport, but I have gotten my counterfoil, status have changed to approved and just got two mails from IRCC. Correspondence letter (I guess that’s the Letter of introduction). I called on 11th VFS to get my tracking ID.

It has ended in praise.
