Yeah I already read all those landing experiences , and read them again just now, there's nothing for Turkish airlines. I'm actually asking cos I plan to travel with them and would like have an idea what to expect.

Issyman:


I am interested in this information also. Kindly share the process when you get the information. Many thanks.

@oohunt please land before your medicals expires. Otherwise your copr would become invalid. You would not have the option of repeating your medicals. That option only applied to the fsw pre-express entry era when often times applications were still being processed while medicals expired.

Congrats freeradical

Good job glitteringstar!

@ballerz you wan use laugh kill me @gender writing.

I used Turkish Airlines, great airline. For my kids there was in-flight entertainment from Lagos to Istanbul and then onwards to Toronto. The transit period in Ataturk Airport in Instanbul was also great. They have a modern, international airport, very clean and large with lots to see. The kids had a ball running around, lots of restaurants and fast food places with duty free shops for window shopping. The 7 hours stopover flew by quite fast. Both legs of the flight were very okay, the kids are used to international flights so the food was not a problem for them. Our luggage all arrived with us in good condition, In all, I would recommend Turkish Air.

my friends has... And all gave positive reviews.
They are known for misplacing ur bags... But mostly on ur return leg... Which doesn't apply to u.
I can't remember any negative review.

Riverclose:
I have used Turkish airline a couple of times, no way you can compare them with the airlines you mentioned. They've stepped up real good, services very ok

Zaen:
pls is this the same as the deadline for landing stated on the visa?

mukhtar4u:


Exactly my concern as well.

Knowing if the upgrade is same as ICAP course by course because the option is not there and confirming whether I really need to send same documents again.


They don't reply mails at all


Let's see if @Ehrnie and @dupyshoo can assist with their experience.

Contact CPA of the province you are migrating to. They will ask you to register and upload transcripts from ICAN and your other degrees. They will let you know the next step to take. It's as simple as that.

What would you then say about Lufthansa on missing baggages?

Turkish airline is pretty good. I’d love I ride with them again. My Children loved the goody bag and the entertainment. Would recommend.

Hephgirl:
Me I will never fly lufthansa ever again. Stingy airline... Mscheew

Are there government sponsored agencies that can help with your resume and cover letter where you are?

Blackbuddy:


If your funds are in your personal account, you'll need to send the account statement as proof. That is what is referred to as POF, Proof of Funds.

I understand bro. But since am using one of my siblings account statement i dont need to show my personal statement account, right?

Happy thanksgiving all. Abeg who is in Winnipeg o and cooked Turkey? Send address make I show come celebrate thanksgiving with you.

Incline:
I've a question. I've a friend who says he will have to spend 1 million naira, that's almost $3,000 to apply for visa ...like visit visa or any visa to canada, from Nigeria? He said this is the cost of paying agents to process the applications to Canada and what they told him. I told him he doesn't need to use an agent but he says its better. Is this true? Are y'all spending that much to process your application to canada?? This isn't about me ooo, I'm already overseas. Just want to get a clearer picture of what he's saying. He says he doesn't want to spend that much and lose money in case his application is rejected so he's asking me to sponsor him instead.

teelurv:

I tire o. Have so much points that I can rather use to save costs but still I think it would be best to call them directly.

maygreaves:


They dont....but i plan on using them to Atlanta, and connecting with Delta.....since they are partners.

AlexanderGreat:
Thanks. I just checked. But there's an 18-hour layover at Heathrow London before they move to Atlanta. When I know I still have another journey to Toronto (and possibly another one to Manitoba after that). Nah...I'll pass lol

maygreaves:


18 hour, mine was 5...but then again, it all adds miles to your frequent flyer...so if you're a red or silver member looking for gold...it makes a lot of sense.....but 18 hours??...check again please.

Hello Vcole & other gurus in Calgary,

I tried to PM you yesterday but was unsuccessful.

After reading Josh’s Canny experience posted by @Yokus (though his write-up was 8 years ago) yesterday, I came to a conclusion with hubby that it’s better he travels first so as to sort out schooling and housing palava then we join against next session / summer I.e. June / July next year. I also read some counter arguments that Josh became focused on his job because he was constantly reminded of his obligations and that if he had travelled alone, he might have given up and returned to India. Wht’s your take guys?

To the veterans, how easy is it to settle down with Children and hunt for Jobs? Rembr, there isn’t any job waiting and the kids shouldn’t also have a gap in education. What is the probability of getting a job in the province one decides to settle I.e. house rent is running, kids are already in school and no job yet?

Also, the Calgary peeps - the Catholic schools are not that cheap. Clear Water / Webber / Master are asking for Family bond of about CAD10k. What do you think of the public school called Jennie Elliott ? I read that it’s a top school in SW Calgary but don’t want to base my decision solely on internet statistics.

Thanks

Ehrnie:
Hi - just trying to catch up on the WES/APEGA enquiries. Okay this is my own experience;
- I already had a WES ECA report which I used for EE and all I did was upgrade this to the WES ICAP course by course report. This is what the upgrade is called. If you start from the APEGA website, it will direct you to the WES page to apply for this upgrade. APEGA has a very detailed PDF doc on their webpage that outlines the steps to the WES evaluation they require.
- I had previously outlined the total cost I paid for my evaluation. It was $162.72 CAD which included a $7 delivery to my UK address. If you don't need the additional copy delivered to you then don't go for it. Just ensure you add APEGA as a receipient and pay the $7 delivery to APEGA.
- WES requested a verification of my transcript from my Nigerian Uni (BSc)...even though I had done this before for my 1st ECA report. They didn't ask for my MSc (Uk) to be reverified (or maybe they did - I don't know). It is my understanding that they need not reverify my transcript, but after several calls and emails to WES and they kept saying the same thing "your university has to verify your transcript as this wasnt part of the initial ECA verification" I had to obey (lol) to avoid further delays. Please note that I didn't send any certs or transcripts to them. They already have the certs and all they wanted was the transcript verification.

Now I can't recall which of the ICAP options I chose (but I doubt it's basic) but from the total cost I paid I'm sure you can figure out which of the two it is.

APEGA have now received my documents and are satisfied..meaning I chose the right upgrade option.

I hope this clarifies things?
