Olayinkaji:

Which one is GCKey? Old or New?

Old is gc key. New is IRCC portal

HazeeyzaH:


Ok thanks... did they reply you instantly?? I am trying to fast track my delivery. My flight is on sunday

They replied after 2 hours or so. It was couriered yesterday morning so I should have my port today Friday or Saturday. I reside in Ondo State.
Abuja>Lagos>Ondo (not via VFS Lagos oh)

HazeeyzaH:


Please how did you get your UPS tracking number??

I emailed VFS and I requested for my tracking number

sos123:
Did you pay for courier or you will go to VFS to receive your port

Yeah I paid for VFS courier, I got my tracking number for ups from them so my ppt is on way to my home address.

nowornever9:

I got notification earlier today from vfs that my port is under process at IRCC then later today my IRCC portal updated to application approved but no introduction letter yet.

Relax you will get it.
I got my introduction letter this evening; meanwhile I got email notification that my port is received by VFS from IRCC this morning. So chill…

Guys…finally my port don Comot IRCC hand o. It’s been dispatched to VFS for mail to courier it back to me. Hallelujah!
Got this email just now
The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No. ******* has been dispatched from the IRCC Office, to the Canada Visa Application Centre in Abuja CVO.

Regards,

Leadforteservic:
Yes I get. Mail them immediately you get your port with stamped visa appealing to them to back the January intake.
I wish you all the best and I pray you get your port back soonest.

Amen o. Thanks a lot!

Leadforteservic:
Mail your school first before you defer, they may extend your deadline and let you resume late.
Some schools did.

You don’t get it…they gave deadline 16th for me to defer, I did however my approval came on 20th.
Now if I want to mail them for late resumption, won’t I hve my port in my hand first? You grab…

Winnerpoks:

When is your school resuming?

Huh…my school resumed yesterday.
I already deferred to April before I got my study permit approval. Deadline was 16th, I got my approval on 20th and now my port is yet to be returned so they will just defer my ission till next semester.
Every stage in this Canada sojourn comes with its own hurdle.

NGOZIGLORI:
This was what was sent to us ..that they have just received the port at Abuja office.
Will they ever return this port and then we collect it by Friday

They sent me this last email you received today since last Thursday…that my ppt has been received and is under process at the IRCC Office on Thu Dec 29 2022.
Since then nothing else…not even today

Olayinkaji:
Abeg a question , can one use girlfriend has home ties? Person wey u wan marry soon but not yet?

If you hve a certificate to show for girlfriendship why not?
Tbh I’m not sure you can. Only spouse or common law partner is allowed.

Winnerpoks:
Good morning, Is there anyone that submitted port on December 22/23 and gotten his or her port back?

My port got to Abuja VFS on 23 Dec. I got email notification that it is under process with IRCC on 29 Dec. I haven’t heard from them yet that my port is on its way back to me oh. These holidays I guess is holding it back

otobor12:


Happy New Year in Advance my people... We shall all have testimonies this new year... Amen...

Amen!

Yemlizzy:

You can’t be sure your port will be returned before Jan 9 sef. Although no one can predict these people.
If I were you I’d defer till next semester, get new LOA from school so I won’t hve issues at POE

Ojukwudfugitive:
Hello folks in this house of information,
I received my PPR last week and I want to send my original port to VFS office in Lagos.
I did my biometrics in Lagos, do I need to pay service transmission charge?
Which option is better; going to Lagos myself or sending it through DHL?
Thank you, the respected house.

No you don’t have to pay transmission charge since you did biometric in lag and your sending to same lag. If you were sending to Abuja then you’d have to pay transmission fees.
Depends on what you want, if you live in Lagos you can walk in and submit

Definitely I will…
My head just Dey clear

Guys! Guys! Guess what?
Yeah it is PPR!

Ilueh:


Send them emails and webforms

Thank you. I will keep sending emails and webforms. I have been doing this since last Friday when processing time turned 9 weeks.

CindyByFine:
Send Emails and Webforms.

Attach the email from your school showing that today is your deadline and other documents to the urgency.

List your application timeline...use a Subject that concerns you...not a generic one.

Examples:
Subject: [URGENT] | Study Permit Application |Sxxxxxxx | Over 130 days / 19 weeks

Subject: URGENT NEED FOR FINAL DECISION | STUDY PERMIT APPLICATION -Sxxxxxxxx

Good luck.

Thank you so much. I have done this. I have 3 different non-generic emails. In fact I have ed MP of my school province and he reached out to them twice on Monday.
These people are not God. We meeeuve

Hello my people. Today is the deadline given by my school. What did you guys do differently on days like this to get PPR before deadline. Application is 12 weeks today (past normal 9 weeks)
This is affecting me mentally as I can’t defer second time.
