Hi folks, good day. please anyone with steps on how to submit ports to Kenya VFS please? I want to send my port there since it's faster.
thanks

Hey bro, have you been able to get this done?

Yes, I followed the post that was shared right under my question. Also I'll suggest you use a dhl agent to generate the waybill. The dhl office couldn't generate a return slip but the agent did.

Please clarify difference between dhl office and agent...I would expect that the agent is someone who works in the dhl office. Thanks

Agent: not necessarily only a dHl agent, more like a courier agent. they help you generate waybills to send packages.
dhl office: works for del only handle dhl

NB: I used the phone number of the agent in the google docs link. she was very helpful

Congratulations and safe travels to Canada. If you don’t mind what date did you submit the application? Just want to know how long it took to get PPR.

Hello Everyone,

trust we are all doing well.

Please i need advise from experienced travellers around combining tickets, and will share a background story of my application;

1) I have an ongoing PR Spousal sponsorship application...got AOR Feb 9th 2024.
2) I had applied for TRV since November 2023, did Biometrics dec1st 2023 ...this application was submitted with invitation letter from my wife who is a canadian PR, and reason for the visit is to travel for 2 weeks to celebrate her birthday with her and return back to Naija.
However, I am considering booking 2 different tickets;
One for Lagos to Ottawa trip (non-refundable) and another refundable (Ottawa to Lagos) which I plan to cancel as I don't plan to return since my PR application must have gone far by then, and coupled with the Policy that allows Spousal PR applicants to come in with TRV for Family reunification that was announced last year.

Another thing is...I want to book these tickets now before the travel date is near and fares would be much expensive.

My question now is:

1) Would it be okay to book the 2 tickets separately and cancel the return leg when I have settled in over there?
2) How can I filter for only refundable tickets when on the airline's website?

Look forward to your usual responses everyone. Thanks

I don't think so. All the questions has been asked in their forms . If they need further information. They'll ask with an ADR
