Congratulations and welcome to the club. We are all hopefully expecting the Accra Visa Office to start contacting us by early 2014.

Hello. I just stumbled on this forum too. What's a PER and by what medium do you receive it? Congrats to all that have received a desired response.

Hello. I just stumbled on this forum too. What's a PER and by what medium do you receive it? Congrats to all that have received a desired response.

Welcome .
PER stands for positive eligibility review and applicants receive it mostly with their email address after been charged via their credit card or demand draft.
Cheers.

My dear people, I just opened my inbox to see my pick up mail from Accra. Passports & supporting documents got to Accra last week Thursday, Dec 11. Praise the Lord with me. I cannot thank God enough for His favors and mercies. He has overwhelmed me in recent times with His blessings and I cannot thank Him enough. Abeg make una help me thank Baba God.

Congratulations fatenny, off to Canada you go. ;D ;D ;D

To the only one who knows the very end right from the beginning, I've come to say thank you!
We received our visas and CPR today.Dhl was on point: am impressed, even without giving us a tracking number we got our package intact. The pick up process was initiated on the 10th,was asked to forward pick-up mail to Dhl officer's email: No letter of Authorization written!
I wish everyone expecting one update or the other well. It will come soon, no1 will be left out, our dreams will come through in Jesus Name!

Still in line with the questions Oreke has asked, can we please talk about the operation of IOM here. Which flight do they connect clients with? How fast do they operate? Recently, people are really complaining about them not responding to request early. Do they pay to them directly; air fare or you get like a letter(reference) that you take down to the airline? Please,those that have patronised them should kindly advise.

From all indications, they are really helping but we need to clear the dark about their modus operandi. One love!

Just like GentleAndrew siad,IOM Nigeria will always get the best price reduction in flight cost for applicant.
I'm privileged to have a friend working there....so I'm going to give detail info as explained to me.
We should know that IOM Nigeria can not directly get your booking done for you.
Before you can contact them,you need to have gotten your stamped VISA.
After contacting them,a form will be sent to you as a principal applicant to fill in your details as the lead passenger.You will be expected to attache the biodata pages and stamped VISA pages of all intending passengers.You will also be asked to state your intending date of departure and final city of arrival in Canada.
Without the biodata pages and stamped passports,they WILL NOT attend to your application.
When all this is done (either physically or by email),they will correspond with IOM Ghanian office who is directly in charge of make such booking.The IOM Ghanian office advice the Nigerian office on the booking and the fares involved internally which is now passed to the Nigerian applicant.The IOM Nigerian office contact you back with the fare's information,estimated cost and account information for you to pay it in.
When payment has been made,the IOM office in Accra again issues tickets after payment confirmation and this is forwarded to the applicant via email.
No matter the urgency,we (applicants) all advised to give about TWO OR THREE WEEKS for the above process to be accomplished as the Nigerian IOM office to do not have full control over it.
If you are Ghanaian based,you can bypass all the procedures above and get your rates from them within 2 days.You can also fly to Ghana to correspond with the IOM office there.
Also,it is advisable that you don't contact them for a 5 month flight plan...try as much as possible to contact them when you are sure you want to move between 45 and 60 days....reason been that they want to be sure you want to use them.Giving you a discounted price 3 or 4 months ahead may make you change your mind and they would have worked for nothing so I will advice applicants to contact them between one and 2 months of your proposed plan.
The average amount depends on time peak in which you are travelling but they will generally get a somehow cheaper rate for you.
It also depends on the age of the children involved because children under two years pay lower(about 10 to 15% of adult fees),children between 2 to 12 years pay higher(about 75% of adult fee).
The waiting period is always to the advantage of the applicants with respect to the cost of flight so you should expect a fair bargain.
Cheers.

Yeah, all the information highlighted are really needed. Well, can we be specific here. If a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 children under 5) is to originally pay 1.2 million naira, IOM price will be around what price? If we have people who have used them or who have been privy to this very situation or for a single applicant/any family composition;kindly respond.

It is presently disheartening that they are not prompt in their responses of late. Some people to my knowledge have contacted them lately and there is no response yet. Those that they sent their forms have filled and it is past 3 weeks and no response. What could be the issue? Can we say that we are not too favoured to get early response because we are not in Accra? They situated a branch in Nigeria i believe not to cause delays but to reach out to all and sundries. How i wish i can get them to answer some of these mind boggling questions. Cheers.
