The VFS seems not to be business minded. Do they have offices in other part of Nigeria besides Lagos? All my enquiry through e-mail & direct telephone to the Accra office was met with poor attention. The lady who responded to me both by e-mail & telephone mentioned that we need to pay $25 into their Eco Bank per passport. You will then send the passports to them through DHL. I requested her to send a detail information by e-mail on what she explained to me by telephone so that one will not miss-out each of the steps involved, but she refused. She then sent the website which I already have. I'm already considering the DHL as a more transparent process.

Kind Regards!

gina.
To me, i think the DHL looks more like it, Also considering Donwin4real's XP

Hello House,

I m sorry i never shared my landing experience with all. I boarded Luthanza on the 11th at the MMA VIA frankfurt, waited 3 hours before connecting through Air Canada for a 9 hours flight down to YYC airport. i have been very uncomfortable with the proof of funds as i had just $3000 cash with me , actually i kept $6500 in my Firstbank naira mastercard, Got to YYC, They nearly finished us with IJEKUJE on board the airlines. arrived in time. the queue wasnt much. Met CBSA officers attending to arrivals , the office on the last window called myself and my wife, told us to sit down. very friendly, just 2 or 3 questions such as , do you have any good coming, NO, have you be denied entry into canada, NO have you been convicted before , NO, He then asked that he hopes every information on the COPR is complete and correct, we said yes, He then signed and asked us to sign. Imagine, God at work, He never asked anything on proof of funds. just 15 minutes. then to the immigration, we were just ushered in, then to customs, we met our 4 luggage waiting for us there. the customs officer then asked us if we still have good coming in. we said NO, she then collected the disembarkation form we filled on plane and that's all..Just 18 minutes in all. we were met with terrible cold out side.. funny enough withing one week after getting SIN number my wife got a job. I m also starting a job this week. what a wonderful Jehovah... The land looks promising and i shall possess the land in Jesus name.

Yea it's acceptable...all you need is your Bank statements and your Naira MasterCard/Visa DC and you're good to go!

Someone on this thread did it some few weeks back and it was accepted at the POE...

They can calculate your closing balance on the Statement if it's up to the required amount in CAD and can also ask how you'll access the fund then this is where you'll present your DebitCard!

Hope this helps...

DHL is the best in this aspect....I used them and I didn't regret! It takes just 2days max for pick-up at the Accra embassy once package is ready and you can track as it en-routes which takes 2days as well...
Please, how would you know when the passport is ready for collection?
Were you the one that informed Dhl that the passport is ready for collection?
Congratulations once again for prv.

Hello All,
It seems Accra has changed its methods During medical request also, because I received only medical forms for my family and myself and I have been expecting the additional mail for instructions to pay RPRF , PCC and others,but I am yet to receive it. I just confirmed frm someone not on this forum that he received only medical forms also. Was thinking of sending accra a mail but now am thinking they have changed thier procedures. Hi,I had the same experience last year and sent them a mail only to to told the RPRF had been sent to me which I didn't receive.I had to make a request for it to be resent.so no harm in emailing them.

Congratulations once again for prv.
Thank you.

You will have to make sure you maintain a good correspondence with Accra by checking on them via regular emails on the latest about you PRV(s)...

Once your PRV(s) are/is ready, you will receive an email from them that your package is ready for pick-up! and you will be given your file number that starts with B, which you will give to DHL for a very easy pick-up at the embassy.

Mind you, if you did a prepaid return envelope with DHL, you wouldn't have to worry about all this as Accra would just hand it over to DHL but if you were unable to, then you will follow it up with Accra as I have stated above and alert DHL for a pick-up once it's ready!

Hope this helps...

All the best!
