Hello , thank you for your response , i have been tracking the port and it keeps showing that port is in Lagos , i have also called DHL and was told that the port is still with VFS.. I paid for 2way delivery , but can my sister in Lagos go pick up my port for me? Cause i really dont understand this delay , its exactly 2weeks today and my flight is next week, i also need to the stamped page to my school to get an enrollment letter. Someone please help ooooo , I'm so worried right now

bullstriker:
If the counterfoil info and introduction letter are now available in the portal, they have placed the counterfoil on your port. So, there is nothing to worry about as sometimes Lagos VFS takes 10-14days to deliver. Track the parcel on the DHL website.

Guys please help, i submitted my port through DHL to Lagos VFS where i had my biometrics since last week Tuesday , i got my counterfoil on Wednesday and Letter of Introduction on Thursday and up till now i haven't received my stamped port, should i be worried please , my flight is next week , please how do i go about this?

Hi, i had my biometics in Lagos

Hoavenclaw:


Hi, did you pay transmission fee?

Good morning everyone, i submitted my port for stamping to lagos VFS last Tuesday through DHL and i haven't gotten any response yet , should i be worried please ? L

Thank you all so much for the congratulatory messages , may God bless you too with your heart desires , this feeling cant be described.

Correspondence Letter : Aug 15
PPR : Aug 16.

Lol , i cant believe I'm writing this , indeed God's promises are true. Thank you all.

Thank you so much for understanding me , I'm so sorry you had to go through all those , sad how Nigerians think all immigrants are desperate or struggling , sigh !

jjohndoe83:
For someone who sometimes appears to be logical and balanced in their writing, something is really amiss somewhere. I can't understand how asking for help gave rise to the insinuation (disguised as a question) that they borrowed their POF. There could be many explanations for this, but you chose the most cynical of them all.

Do you derive joy from making these cynical remarks against other people? Is this how you relate with others in your circle? Or you're just nasty behind a keyboard?

Whatever it is, you're exhibiting early stage signs of a sociopath, please look into some counselling.

Sigh , your choice of words is really terrible , i hope that you find peace from within cause for you to have this sort of mentality says alot. Social media is really a leveller indeed , a faceless one at that. You may not know how much i have been searching and how overwhelmed i am already but please if there is anything you can choose to be in the world , choose to be KIND !

CountVersailles:

What happened to presenting that as your initial problem and having people here or anywhere else point out how you could successfully navigate that problem? There are multiple requests here for help with finding a room and it's a problem that can be easily solved, if you present it as such. Why do you think bunking with a stranger is the best solution to your "problem"?

You have the choice of AirBnB for a few days. You have so many rooms from Indian landlords scattered around Scarborough especially on Kijiji. You have hundreds of options if you are interested in looking. Except of course you are not telling the full story.

I'm unable to get a room from here , its always one issue or another and it has been so tedious , hence my request , please be kind enough to get my message instead of thinking everyone is an opportunist .

CountVersailles:

What happened to your POF? Abi na all those loans una collect?

,

which of Allah's absolute mercies will i ever deny? None !

I got my first refusal on the 20the Thread - sept 152020.

Got approved this month - 3rd application.

Thanks to everyone that rendered help to me genuinely, its been a long ride , i cant begin to mention names , i really appreciate you all from the bottom of my earth.

This feels surreal ! I don't even have my emotions fixed yet - I went through a whole lot but God came through at the perfect time ! Hmmm , my story isn't even one i can put into words now , still trying to catch my breath.

My Application just got refused. Thank you everyone , I'm writing this in tears , why do I always get rejected ? How do I break this news to my mom after everything? Alhamdulilah.
I do not deserve this , but Alhamdulilah.
I didn't even add that anyone was accompanying me.

Congratulations.

I began this amazing and stressful journey 6 months ago, without even knowing who would sponsor me. An Uncle of mine then gingered me that Canada was the truth and the way for the youths now and promised to make sure the dream was accomplished... I tried to make use of a well known agency In Lagos but their bill was quite much so I decided the money was best spent elsewhere. I then Began to focus more on Canadian study trends as it dawned on me that I would be processing this application myself. I read Nairaland trends from part 17 and now it's in part 20. I gathered all I could get my hands on just to make sure I submitted this application April 2nd but still I felt it wasn't good enough.... Things like 3rd party sponsorship, me not submitting a personal bank statement and also not having any land Documents in my name became my biggest fear.... But then I met Sam from Nairaland also, who was also going to the same school as me, and he encouraged me to submit..... Cutting the long story short.... The application was approved yesterday and glory be to God.... Thank you also Sam for all you did mehn, you are really a friend turned brother����������.... Also want to appreciate everyone here including the gurus as every single thing I used for my application was gotten from here.... What God cannot do dosent exist and I ask anyone who hasn't gotten a decision yet to keep the faith and whoever was denied to keep trying..... I'll be sharing my timeline soonest

Congrats FAM

banjo:

Thanks to everyone for your guidance. I didn't see it coming. Thanks to God.

I have a little concern tho. I deferred my ission till Next Fall (2022) already.

Does anyone have a connect of how I can get my COVID jab, so that I can travel as soon as possible.

Every advice is highly appreciated!

Ahh , this is really serious .. What must have happened? So sorry sisters .. God got you!!

Feyisharah:
What do you advice we do ooo
This is my sister page
They sent medicals on 7th and sent refusal on 13th

Landing gists always makes me feel teary , may Canada favor you sis .. My time is here

Stephblues:
Landing gist!!! Canada sweet nor be small.

I got to to the airport at about 4:45pm on the 10th of September. I tipped the security at the entrance to allow my husband and cousin in, the guy was just forming activity. When I got in, I was directed to NDLEA to check for drugs, that one too asked for tip. After there, the agricultural people sighted me and asked me to head to their counter because I had one bag of food. What I noticed is that if I wasn’t carrying a Ghana must go back, he wouldn’t have approached me. I paid 2k for the bag.

Then I moved on to the check in queue, mehn see crowd. British airways was fully booked. People traveling to the Uk for school as well were there on that day, I wished I had taken another airline. I stood for 4hrs before it got to my turn. Weighed my bags, everything was under the required weight though I had an extra bag which I paid $210 for. Note; please arrive early on the day of travel, else you stand a chance of missing your flight.

I was asked to show my Covid test, ArriveCAN, enrolment letter, enger locator form(for BA engers). Then I waited to get approval from Canada before I was allowed to fly. Approval came about 20mins later. I parted ways with my family, it was so hard leaving them behind especially the girls. tears flowed but this is for the greater good.

Got to immigration and I was asked to go on the fast track because I gave the guy 1k. Went on to board my flight and we took off like 30 mins later. I slept most of the time as it was a night flight. Food wasn’t good at all, biko which one is over cooked garden egg and cheese? Landed in Heathrow, waited for another 8hrs before leaving for Toronto. This time, the food was better, it was rice and chicken something something(forgot the name, hunger dey catch me).

We landed after 7hrs 55mins. We weren’t allowed to get down because the crowd at the airport was much. Long story short, because of the queue, they took all our ports from us and printed our permits without questions.

No tests, nothing for me. Fully vaccinated. Just finished my second class for today. May the land of Canada favour me.

I wish everyone awaiting PPR all the best, you shall all experience this joy. You can reach out to me if you have any questions.

P.S I am chilling in my apartment, so much food from friends and family. Chai, this life sweet.

Congratsss

Hello Everyone,

My cousin got her PPR on Sept. 10. God came through! Find below her timeline and documents submitted below:

Submitted (3rd Application) – May 14
Upfront medicals ed – June 3rd
PPR and BVL – Sept 10

It’s been a long journey for her. She already completed one semester online last year but halted because the study permit didn’t come through. All the standard refusal reasons were given so this 3rd try was focused on tackling all those reasons.

Documents Submitted

• ission letter
• Enrolment letter (since she completed a semester online)
• Transcript from school in Canada
• Tuition deposit payment
• Proof of financial
o Mybank certificate of sponsor 1(aunty)
o Landed properties for sponsor 1
o Affidavit of from sponsor 1
o Letter of reference
o Proof of relationship between sponsor 1 and father
o Bank statements of sponsor 2 (aunty’s daughter)
o Work contract and payslips of sponsor 2 living in Canada
o Notarized letter of from sponsor 2
• Police Certificate
• WAEC results
• SOP
• Detailed submission letter from immigration consultant tackling previous refusals

During the wait, she reached out to the MP where her school is located, sent at least one email to Nairobi weekly and ordered GCMS notes. We got timely from the MP with IRCC acknowledging all the emails she had sent to them but no timeframe on when to receive a final decision. GCMS came back blank - eligibility hadn't started. She reached out again to Nairobi via email this past Wednesday and on Sept 9th, the Nairobi office responded saying her file was still being processed. On Friday afternoon, her PPR came.

Her experience reinforces that delay isn't denial - if you are not successful the first time around and it is in line with God's will - just keep trying!

Thank you to everyone who has shared their experience and kept this group going. I pray those waiting receive good news in this new week and subsequent ones. All the best!

Yes I have ,not responding
