Congrats everyone. Please does one need to receive a letter from CIC stating what date to do the Biometrics or once you pay for the Biometrics, you can just walk into the Biometric center?

I didn’t receive that message but I called and was told it’s been dispatched. So much glitch in the system/process. I see the reason High Commission was move to Ghana. Their complacency in ABJ/LAG is second to none.

Once you get the request for Biometrics, you have to schedule the appointment. The sooner you can do, the better

Hi Everyone,
Do we still need eTA to travel?

Hello house!
Has any one received GCMS note lately within a fine frame of 35days schedule? My spouse and I applied for GCMS note on the 1st of June, and till now we are yet to get feedback. Mailed them couple of times and got this;

“Hello, ATIP has now increased its timeline to 45 days due to COVID-19. We have sent a reminder to them to expedite your order. Unfortunately, we cannot control their timeline and will follow up”

It’s almost 70 days now.

Mailed Acra VO to enquire about the app processing and they replied this;

“Dear Sir / Madam,
Currently, your file is: Under review. No further action is required on your part at this time.”

please what does this mean in the scheme of things?

Hi Everyone,

There has been unnecessary delays in passport transmission by VFS Nigeria Offices in recent time, applicants will have to wait for 2 months between submission and return. Passport are forwarded to Accra VO in batches which makes passport to sit in their offices for not less than 2 weeks before transmission and sometimes if you're unlucky it could take 4 weeks... this is a big problem... which we can take steps to address or ignore...

I have started a change campaign via this link http://chng.it/hKrVf8CZ which can only be successful if you sign the petition (at least 100 for a start)….if you're in doubt of putting your name you can use pseudo name! lets help to improve service delivery and have value for our money.

Please feel free to share this on other platforms
