NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK.

[Right]

Everybody awaiting MRs please lets meet on Saturday to discuss this vital issue of movement of file to Lagos.

I think we may need to send a mail to Accra to move our file to Lagos, Nigeria with immediate effect.

Please my people DO NOT REQUEST MOVEMENT OF FILE BEFORE DECEMBER 16, 2011 O. I beg o that may translate to Abortion before pregnancy Gbam!.

A beg where Pa Awoderu dey o. This infor is very important to him o. Whoever knows his whereabout or with his email/GSM number should contact him to give him the news. They may not move file to Lagos until they are told to do so! You know how those VOs behave! Zo**ie like.

[Right]

Four (4) NOCs are now capped Gbam.

This is good news to close year 2011 with. But to think of it do anybody has the likely number or percentage of applications that is in Accra?. That will help one to know what volume will be transferred to Lagos if the option to request for transfer is given to applicants.

Otherwsie I would request request that my application is transferred to Yaunde, Cameroun  hoping the number would not be much there. Gbam Gbam Gbam Gbam

IMO I don't think we have the right to choose any VO will like if not I'd choose Ankara (not ankara cloth o!) Turkey GBAM!

You will be placed in VO that is under your country of birth or where you reside legally. For instance, Accra will definately transfer all Naija files, no doubt GBAM!

Recall that some applications were rejected at CIO during the pre june rush for wrong indication of VO. For instance a Naija living in UK without legal permit cannot use UK VO rather Accra. We would have chosen Lagos as our VO had it been that such existed while filing our applications.

So, logically, all Naija applications would be transfered to Lagos automatically. Mind you, Lagos has zero backlog...na to start work on December 16, 2011 GBAM GBAM GBAM! any contrary opinion is sincerely welcome.

Give or take, I expect to be in Canada by the 2nd quarter of 2012 live!

 @ peeps

This new VAC (Visa Application Centre) in Lagos has nothing to do with Immigrants Visas - see link below.

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/nigeria/highlights-faits/2011/VAC-CRDV-2011.aspx?lang=en&view=d

Here is the news in cut & paste:

Opening of a new Visa Application Centre (VAC) Lagos

Citizenship and Immigration Canada has signed an agreement to open a Visa Application Centre (VAC) in Lagos on December 16th in order to make the visa application process easier for applicants in Nigeria.

All applicants for temporary resident visas —visitors, students and temporary workers—and all permanent residents applying for travel documents to return to Canada are encouraged to present their applications at the VAC after December 16th and take advantage of the extended office hours and of the on site client service.
The VAC is only responsible for:

    distributing information on relevant visa requirements, as published by the Embassy of Canada;
    receiving applications and supporting documents;
    reviewing applications to ensure completeness; and
    securely forwarding applications to the visa office in Lagos.
    returning, by secure means, the passport and decision to the applicant.

The VAC is authorized by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to receive your application. However, if you choose not to bring your application to the VAC, you may apply directly in person to the Deputy High Commission of Canada to Nigeria.  Consult the mission web site for instructions.


Peace!!!

You are so right...I read it too and realised this has nothing to do with application processing. It is only a document checking services....Hopefully Accra will do something before Christmas.. If a July applicant can get MR in Ded, then wonders indeed shall never end!
Good luck everyone!

Hi Mandie and Omo Naija,

Three things that I feel affected my process positively (speed-wise) are

1. I am a quebec candidate and all the qualification/experience/adaptability scrutiny have been done on the BIQ level in Paris before I got my CSQ and before I applied for PR.

2. I used the new barcoded form introduced in the middle of this year, so I believe the process of retyping the whole information in my forms into KAIPS was just completely eliminated, because all they have to do is just to scan the barcode and everything typed on the forms can be loaded electronically.

3. Thirdly the medicals request came electronically with all the forms already imprinted with the passport photographs on each form per individual.

So for QSW candidate applying for PR all that is left if there are no mistakes in the forms will be security check and Medicals unlike FSW where all form checks, police checks, qualification, experience etc will have to be done before security check and medicals.  So when update requests come for FSW candidates I feel they have scrutinized what is on ground they just want to update some things left out or they expect that some changes would have occurred in the case of those that their applications has been in for a very long time. After the update it will just be medicals but the number of FSW candidates is massive compared to QSW so that might explain the delays as well.

Regards

  @  TEZKEM
Congratulation for a smooth one. May your new country offer more than you expected. From your narrative I was surprise that you were unable to use the internet in the Dubai International Airport. 1st time I transited there I was able to use their free wi fi. In addition the rest of us here who may want to consider Emirate, I will advice that we opt for the  8.30pm schedule. It will shorten the time we'll spend waiting for the next flight to Canada. Imagine hanging around in a place only to embark on another 14Hrs flight.

  @   Shalom 1
Thank God say the Lady no vex admit your family and ask you to go prepare the list in London for another day. Thank God for safe trip and all that has been packaged for you in your new country.
Canada and the US share some similarities in certain things. Their size and the way they design most of their stuffs. UK size affects their thinking and design too. Canada oni ba je o.

My prayer is that you must land in Canada in 2012. Your initiative deserves the ultimate reward. It is more blessed to give than to receive. You who gave us this forum will surely be rewarded abundantly. Delay is never Denial. God will surely come true and through at the appointed time. Amen
