Thank you

Gentlesoul3268:

I don't know why you people always worried yourself? Since you said she received port collection and what else again do you want ?

IRCC portal don't shows update most time but if you can set up a tracker with your UCI you will see alot going on with your application.

Don't stress your self chikama lol infant many people on this thread feel ask if they should eat lunch !!!!?

Congratulations to your sister

Hello house,
My sister got an email confirming her port is available for collection in Lagos VFS today but when she logs in on the old portal, it still shows the message for her to submit her port for stamping. Is this not supposed to change for visit visa? There is no indication on her IRCC platform that her port was received and stamped for the visit visa. Please advise if you have experienced. Thanks

Hi good evening everyone. Please does anyone know how someone in Canada can process a police report in Nigeria? Please advise. Thank you

Have u sent them an email to.prioritize your application?

subzheero:
We are all in this together since September 3 nothing except lots of ghost update.

If you have an existing sowp or visit visa application, please send a mail for prioritizing. Several.people sent the mail from the first day they applied for their sowp and got their visa in 2 weeks to 4 weeks.
Also regarding getting approval to travel, it is better to be overprepred than underprepared. Have all the needed documents to avoid insult at the airport, including authorization to fly for sowp.
May it end in praise for us all. Amen

Hello house, please is it true that VFS is now allowing people to drop their ports themselves? Has anyone physically dropped their port in VFS Lagos? Thanks

..

Congrats. Yes you can send to Abuja but you will be required to pay one fee like that if you are not sending to the place you did your biometrics.

Please can you share your timeline?

FYsol:
Hello All,

I just got a port request, from what I could gather here, it appears Abuja VFS is faster, I am based in Lagos, can I send to abuja VFS? Your quick response will be appreciated.

Thank you

Dear all,

I feel like sharing this information with everyone travelling to Canada through Ethiopian Airline. A friend of mine travelled last 2 days and we were at the airport together so I witnessed all what that transpired. For your information, please try as much as possible to get your Enrolment Letter printed out or on your phone to show at the boarding collection point. This is extremely important and I meant it. Also, make photocopies of every other school related documents, if possible, make two photocopies of each of the documents. On the issue of BTA, he was only with $50.00. He was not asked at the airport here or over there. He only declared the amount on a yellow form given to him to fill. As regards Covid Test, he was not asked for that at all but he ensured he had a print out of the Arrivecan app receipt.

Hope this information helps!

Cheers!

I did a one way and paid the 11,300 for them to return to me. But several people here used two way UPS since thats what vfs uses for returning our ports back.

Please I have some questions regarding sowp if you don't mind. Sent you a PM. Thanks

goingforward:
@chikaima18, Sorry did you do a (self-addressed envelope) for a return port package from VFS to you using DHL or whatever courier you used ?
So that DHL picks up from the VFS and delivers to you?

Is that how you did it.?

Please help me clarify this information.

thanks.

I was told that if you don't have the slip you will need to pay the 7,000+ and thats what I did. I had no issues getting my port back.

goingforward:
Thanks a lot @lekkiboboe. i've ed the form.

My hubby has gotten a visit visa previously so the biometric slip was collected that time. ( I'm hoping they'd have this information)

How will DHL know when the port will be ready?

Does he just go to any DHL office and pay for two way return from the port office, I'm confused, please provide more clarity.

This question is open to anyone who has also gone through this.

Thanks.

Finally done with VFS and their wahala. port received few minutes ago.

I didn't receive my counterfoil and loi until yesterday. Mehn the experience is another story to tell.

Anyone having challenges with ircc or vfs should keep raising webforms, sending emails and calling vfs. It will end in praise.

There is no format. Just send your full names as is on your port and the DHL tracking number. Please follow up with a call as that is faster than email

adeenzo:
Hello all,
please is there any letter format that I can edit and send to the Abuja VFS.
since Friday my port was delivered (tracked it with my DHL tracking ID) but up till now, I haven't gotten any mail as to that effect from Abuja VFS.
Please this is urgent as I am in the dark here, kindly help.
Thanks

Please o, who got courier delivery mail from VFS Lagos today. Spoke to them in the morning and they said they will dispatch my port today but am yet to receive their email

.

Same here. Very confusing. No change in status yet

Ikechuqu:
I’m confused right now.... I’ve tracked my port on the VFS site and it says they’ve received my port back from IRCC.

I just called VFS to confirm and the lady said the port is with them that I’ll get a payment mail by today or tomorrow but here’s the thing I DON’T HAVE COUNTERFOIL, LOI OR CHANGE IN STATUS ON MY IRCC PORTAL!

Could something be wrong?

Hello everyone. I got three mails from vfs yesterday that my port has been collected from IRCC. I called them today and they said the port is ready for collection. But my status isn't changed yet online. What do I do please. Kindly advise. Thank you.

Hi Dame, I got three mails too but my profile isn't updated yet and I don't have counter foil or Loi. Did you get your counter foil yet?

Dame24:
Looks like your port is ready. I got 3 mails from vfs this morning. And I have the same message as yours when I tracked it

I got this same message too and two other messages.

But my profile still reads 'you need to send your port '.

No Loi or counter foil.

Those that have ed this stage please advise on the next course.

Thank you

Ayobami2001:

Mrtoke:

You don’t apply SOWP for kids, I think they’ll only need to apply for ETA since they’re Americans.

Find more information here on how to apply for one https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta/apply.html

Hi I saw that.

My enquiry is regarding the slip.

I no longer have the slip issued to me when I did my biometrics about three years ago. So am asking if I can attach my bvl instead of the slip.

Thank you.

JustMellow:


Hello Chikaima18,

Big Congratulations on moving to the next stage of your Maple Journey. See below.

Hello house. This platform is so rich with plenty people willing to help. God bless us all.

Reapplied August 4, aip August 12.
Medical ed August 12 too
Received bvl yesterday and PPR today.
3rd study visa application.

I submitted the same documents as my previous application and then did an extensive LOE directing the VO to the different documents that they missed. Backed up with prayer.

Thanks to all the bosses @frankroben, @justmellow.

@lekiboboe was so excited seeing that you got BVL already. May it end in praise.

Please for the biometric slip, I don't have the slip from the first time I submitted. Can I submit the BVL in its place or what other document can I submit.

Thanks and may the good news continue to flow

Hi, congrats on your PPR. So exciting to read from you. Just going through the list of documents you submitted got me worried.

The biometric confirmation slip is it the one you were given when you first dropped your biometric? I did my biometric almost 4 years ago, I don't have the initial slip. Is there any other document that one can submit in place of the slip?

Please advise. Thanks

rebecausoro:


Two copies of signed consent forms
Two copies of port
port itself
port request letter
Biometric confirmation slips

Ensure that your port is insured by the courier company. I paid extra N2,500 for that.
