How do I track a package that is being sent back to applicant?

Thanks

Abeg, how did you get them to send back, because, i don chat, call and send evidence of return courier and they have not been helpful. Still says on tracker that, i should check "buy services" to use courier ?

Hey,

I paid for it at the point of submission.
I submitted thru courier, so I included the payment receipt for the One-way courier in the envelope along with the port.

I didn't get to track it eventually as it arrived before I got the information on how to track it.

Send an email to them...they usually respond within 2 biz days

I was sent the email add below as theirs - [email protected]

You can confirm it

I used courier. Got the PPR late and I had just about 7 days left . So I just decided to not bother seeking appointment and use courier instead .

You mean seven days to school resumption or to the 30days on PPR letter?

If you use the new ircc portal, it's about 6 weeks (30 business days). If you use the gckey it's about more than 700days average processing time, the last time I checked. It may not be upto that.

PS: it depends entirely on IRCC. The processing time on their site are average timelines.

Please guru's in the house , is it that the update on the IRCC tracker is more genuine than the old IRCC application App? below is a screen dump from both with different update. Mind you this application is from 2020 ooooooo Covid-19 Era

Op, you said you will explain how to regularize a visit visa in Canada so that one can stay back, pls help with this info cos I want to travel to Canada next month, I have been given a visitor visa

roblance:
@thread OP, thanks for creating this thread.

Have been reading through the student visa thread for a while and have learned some lil stuff there, but i still got some questions if anyone can help with them.

@ terrimatix, from your statement, but there are so many ways to regularize visitors visa in Canada legally.pls can you give us more explanation about that?

3 weeks? It use to take like 7-10 days now it would have been stamped and sent back to vfs office in lagos for collection

Hello house, has anyone booked Ethiopian airline online and made flight payment. I am considering booking Ethiopian airline cotonou to Canada

Don't use Ethiopian airline, why not use Royal Air Maroc, Ethiopian airline can use 35 hours to get to Canada whereas Air Maroc will use 18 hours for the same flight, which means air maroc will be cheaper...

How much for the flight lets me see which is cheaper either it's from Lagos or from Cotonou

I also want to book air maroc to Canada but from Lagos to Canada, but I want to visit their office tomorrow at VI cos their fees is in dollars , I don't know their exchange rate ... So I want to visit their office tomorrow so they can tell me everything I need to know, their exchange rate so I can know how much it will cost me in naira, and possibly I will book the flight to Canada tomorrow , though it will be for me to fly august or September depends on how much the flight cost

Hi biztycoons,

I don't know the place too, but I will just follow the address I got via Google

Royal Air Maroc’s headquarters are in 42, Akin Adesola Street, Tetrazzini Building, 1st Floor, Eti Osa, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria

Thank you..

For those going to pick up their port in Lagos VFS office...please go very early to be in front o.. I got there 10am and I picked no 270 and one other guy picked 453.......

So do yourself a favor to be there on time..

Note: You would stand outside (no shelter) till 12pm... Even when you get inside and you aren't among the first 40, you would still stand till it's your turn to get in...

Maybe you guys were too much sha, the day I went to pick mine, I got there some mins to 12, when they started calling people in for collection, maybe I was lucky to be number 52 or there about... But I didn't waste too much time there though

Asking for a friend, mine is out already

And what is the difference between people getting 6 months visitor visa and some getting 3 years visitor visa?

How can one apply to get the 3 years visitor visa?
