2rw is another business day at VAC...I think we should expect some updates....

>>> Summer and Fall 2013 applicants Loading....
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by adexcube(m): 11:22pm On Dec 26, 2012
Idomaboi:
yeah...i can't reach my agent to give me the application reference number and VAC won't give me...do u know any other way i can track?

Once your application was not submitted thru VAC, then you can't track. Tracking is meant for VAC customers. All you can do is to keep calling your agent for updates.

Let mumsy continue running that savings account. Im sure she can still be paying into that account...

If she would be receiving cheques in lieu of cash into the current account due to the cashless whateva (which I doubt), she can still make transfer into the savings account which would keep dat account running till you get ur TRV.

TRV_IJN: The account is ur mumsie's yeah? Then let her sponsor you in her personal capacity.you may include her biz docs as proof of her occupation but if the biz isn't sponsoring you, then the biz's official bank account statement has no biz in ur application. Work on showing ties to her and other parts to bolster your application. I believe you are good to go with ur mumsie's savings account.

adim02: @ezme since the account is ur mums than you dont have problem.Am a worker and i have current and savings account.My current is my salaries account,so what i do some time clear d whole cash in current to savings 4 at least 2weeks then back again to current which i will use come fall 2013. what your mum need is transfer from current to savings.Cash flows matters alot.
TRV_IJN: Just FYI.
A savings account isn't inferior to a current account. Important things are;
1. The account statement is for 6months as they requested
2. The cashflow shows viability (money dey enter and significant part of the money no dey 'always' comot 'quick quick' meaning say this person get 'savings' to sustain am and dependents)
3. The account is either yours or that of a sponsor (the sponsorship letter would have a statement referring to attached bank statement where bank statement is sponsor's)
4. The statement is authentic and verifiable by the issuing bank (u fit ask the bank to include a cover letter accompanying the statement)

NB: No 2 is tricky,I believe the VO's objective is to get an opinion on whether the sponsor (self or other sponsor)will have enogh funds after dealing his regular bills- 6 months is enough to say 'okay mama charly dey always spend like (average) of 100,000 per month so if e won sponsor charly, wen the normal say 400k enter every month and she comot 100k, based on history on 1/2 a year statement, do I think she go fit pay charly school fees, chop, pay house rent and other things w/out going broke? Try answering the questions it will help you. Type of account is not truly relevant

Thanks for all your inputs, they have been really helpful.

I think you can have them either as main sponsor or co-sponsor depending on what they have in their account as well as their source of income etc..... Each of them should state clearly the expenses they would cater for...

Can u please indicate the financial status of ur brothers so we could better advise you on who should be the main sponsor and the co-sponsor.....

hi...i have a ppl aeroplane as well and have applied for my cpl in canada and awaiting my visa in nigeria,i would advise you apply for your visa from sa cos of the waiting time in nigeria and for the fact that they doubt most of your documents,even if it had to be the same waiting time for your visa, you can always continue building hours in sa as opposed to nigeria where there is no where you can rent a plane for hour building,and also you dont get rusty.in a scenario where it takes you about 4-5months to get your visa,without any flying during that period,u might have to do a refresher when you get to canada,what school are you going to do tho?

I am yet to make my trip and I would be glad to share a first hand experience as soon as possible.
I actually share your sentiments but the result of my online reviews shows that their service isn't too different from what you obtain from big name flyers. Beside, I understand they are currently the best in Africa (even better than South African Airline) and they use a 777 for their Canada/Lagos route.
In my opinion, the guy that requested for the cheapest fare is probably more bothered about the Cost than the Luxury or travel time, so far his safety isn't threatened and I believe alot of guys out their share the same interest.

Fulfilling my promise of giving a first hand info about my Ethiopian Air experience, I would do a comparison btw Lufthansa(L) and Ethiopian Air(E) based on my experience on both airliners plying same route.No marketing or de-marketing intended. Just my personal observations.

Hours in Air : L - 15.25 hr | E - 17.30 hr #Lufthansa wins
Connecting flight waiting time : L - 6 hr | E - 30 mins #Ethiopian clear winner
General state of airplane : L - 9/10 | E - 9/10 #No clear winner
Baggage size : L - 2 * 23Kg | E - 2 * 23Kg #No clear winner
Air Hostess : L -Just there | E - Super beautiful African queens #Ethiopian clear winner
State of Airport : L - Frankfurt airport was squeaky clean and fully functional | E - Bus terminal for Canada better pass am. Maintenance na the issue. But 10X better than MMA Lagos. I felt I entered a hole the moment we arrived in Naija. Na standing fan we get for our Arrival terminal *SMH* #Lufthansa clear winner
Meal : L - I think we took 3 meals, so so coffee and broccoli | E - 4 nice meals. I even requested for an extra meal and was gladly given #Ethiopian clear winner
Personalized Entertainment : L - only Touch Screen | E - Touch screen and buttons with Nollywood channel) #Ethiopian wins
Cost : #Ethiopian clear winner


All things being equal, I guess I have my preference already.

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by kelly4top: 11:07am On Dec 27, 2012
Ethiopian airline is really very nice flying with and very affordable. You can book one way flight to Toronto Canada at 203k. Their transit waiting time is very short without delay. Give then a try and you will get superb service same big airline gives. Although they are big airline too.

@earthgreeners, I think anyone who has cursed you after taking a decision that turned sour based on some of the useful, kind and good intentioned information you have made available on this forum has only done a wrong thing.

This information is purely based on a personal experience and was not generalized in any way. Like most other info here, only a glutton would consume everything on a faceless forum and swallow hook, line and Sinker and am sure most Nigerians are smarter than that. Even the owners of the business will tell you "Terms and Conditions apply". @earthgreeners, this is simply a customer review, it is not a binding contract.
Happy New Year in advance.

@ trv ijn - congrats.
@Bumdish- nice one, I like ur detailed comparison. Sum ppl will prefer to see very beautifl african queen hostess no matter d cost, time of flight and other conditions.
If u think its a lie- ask blink.
Sum ppl say ET is molue, bt wit ur review, it is dependent on the flight. The time difference is nt bad.

@ my ppl, have u tracked today? Abeg make una track ooo.
I neva track bt will be tracking soon. Work too much 4 office 2day.

@ The land is green.. Lol ..
You will need to book one of the Canadian local flight to any other destination of your choice in Canada once they land you at the biggest Canadian international airport in pearson Toronto then you will find your way after doinf clearance at the port of entry.
For local flights, I will advise you book Aircanada cos they are the cheapest and belongs to Canada government at subsidised rate.
Nigeria still have a long way to go. We never get better railway line not to talk of international airline.
