It’s over eight weeks now that my international passport was submitted for the renewal of my Canadian travel visa. My wife and daughter also submitted their passports with mine on Friday March 1, 2019 to renew their visas -- my daughter applied for a student visa. This will not be the first time we are applying to renew our visas but this is the first time we have waited this long! In the past, our passports were returned after two or three weeks.
So what do you do when your passport is not available when you need it for other trips? You just wait and expect that, very soon, you will receive a message from the agency processing the applications. On April 2, 2019, 15 members of the Rotary Club of Lagos – our Club was chartered on May 30, 1961 making me the 58th President -- and friends of Rotary traveled to Kigali, Rwanda for a Friendship Exchange programme for four days.
If our trip was to a West African country, an ECOWAS passport would have been helpful. I continued to track our visa application to know the status. After eight weeks, the feedback was still negative. The option of applying online is available but it appears there’s not much difference and I was very confident our passports would be released after six weeks! For some inexplicable reasons, visa applications to Canada, as I found out, are treated in Accra, Nairobi and London.
The Rotary Friendship Exchange programme is an international exchange programme for Rotarians and friends that allow participants to take turns in hosting one another in their homes and clubs. Rotary International says Friendship exchanges should be organised around at least one of three themes: culture, service and vocation. Participants may travel as individuals, couples, families or groups and may be Rotarians or not.
