makano:
1. Mostly because they are not patient with the clinic sending the result to IRCC, the clinic doesn't send it that same day. probably a day or days after... So applicant tend to upload the medical slip given them that same day, probably when they get home... But the clinic will def send the results to IRCC...
2. Yes.. But make sure you state in your form (application) that you have done your medicals and its attached with your other documents..
3. There is particular duration of time, some get their Medical request weeks after, some get theirs Months after.. One of the applicants I guided 2 years ago got his Medical request after 8 months but got PPR 5 days after his Medical was passed...
So no particular timeline when it comes to Medicals or should I say when it comes to Canadian Visa pplicaion...
Peace Thanks so much brother. Appreciate you. For the form, you mean my SOP bah? Stating the medical in my SOP. |

I arrived at the airport around 4:30pm for my 8:30pm flight, with my hubby and big bro. Hubby went to park the vehicle, so I went into the airport with my bro. My bags (2 check in bags, 1 hand luggage and my laptop bag) were scanned at the entrance and the NDLEA guy then physically searched one of the bags and made their usual comments of "find something for me naa" but big bro just ignored them. We were then directed to the airline counter.
My bags were weighed and they were all within the limit allowed (had a scale at home). Hubby now came around, and with big bro they went to take care of wrapping the two check-in bags (I have heard stories of peoples' bags being tampered with). I then went for passenger profile/document verification. Everything went smoothly to the extent that one of the officers commended me for having all the required documents. After that, my bags were checked in and my boarding passes were issued. We then took care of FX and by then it was around 5:30pm. Hubby and big bro kept me company for another hour and after taking some pics, they then took their leave (I almost started crying when hubby was about to leave).
I then reminded myself of one of my many mantras: "EYES ON THE BALL"....lol.
I then went in for immigration checks, oh boy come and see line/queue. Finished that and went and sat down for boarding, which commenced a few minutes later.
The flight was 7hrs 20mins from Lagos to Doha (Qatar Airlines) and their food wasn't my thing, though I enjoyed the sausage and rice (with tiny bits of chicken). Drinks were also provided and in flight entertainment was okay.
We arrived Doha, and mennnn the hot air that heat my face when we disembarked na die. I quickly rushed to meet up with my connecting flight to Montreal (13hrs 15 mins from Doha to Montreal, next time it's European airline).
We arrived Montreal 2 and half hours to my next flight to Toronto. Immigration checks next- The queue here na die because the immigration officers on seat were very few and were not fast enough. We complained to one of the officers and we were told their is nothing they can do and that if we miss our flight, the airline will rebook at no extra cost. That calmed me down a bit, but CBSA were not fast enough.
While we were on the queue, an Asian/International student was not allowed to enter because CBSA could not verify her status on her school portal. Even after she told them she has already paid her fees. Oh boy, come see crying and begging, but no way. She was immediately booked on the next available flight back to her home country. E shock me ooo. I was like: abeg God, I don't mind missing my flight or even sleeping in this airport till the next morning for immigration to do their thing as long as I get stamped in.....lol.
My documents were eventually verified and my permits (Study and Work) were issued. I had to also do a Covid-19 arrival test free of charge and I was given a take home kit for my day 8 test. We were also advised to carry our checked-in luggages since we are switching to another airline. All these made me to miss my flight. So, the airline (Air Canada) rebooked my flight, checked in my bags and 1 hour 20 mins later I arrived Toronto.
At Toronto airport it took a while, but I eventually picked my bags and went out to meet my pick up.
Since I am not fully vaccinated (was only able to get the first dose of AstraZeneca), I am on 2 weeks (14 days) quarantine and I check in every morning with ArriveCAN and COVID-19 Alert apps. I am presently on day 4 of my quarantine. Currently online checking out places to rent, though I can't book appointments to view the property (quarantine wahala).
Hoping and praying that everything falls in place according to my plans in Jesus name. Amen!

Congratulations. So happy for you. For the passport, I guess it is still valid (I mean the expiry date is still till even some days after you arrive Canada (I guess you are resuming in September). If that's the case, then you can submit this passport. I'm saying so because even if you want to renew your passport in naija, I takes 3 week officially (it could be more depending). Meanwhile, your passport has to get to VFS within 1 month of PPR. Do weigh all the options. Wishing you all the best once again and hoping your spouse's own comes though soonest. Daylight23:

Oga if I were u,I will just meet a digital photographer to snap me nd adjust it for me,then I save it on my devise and upload. note u have to give him or her the IRCC standard.its just #300 in Lagos here.if u want hard copy too then u will pay #500.someone some few months ago was refused for one reason .guess what?
grammatical errors. I was so furious with IRCC. u can imagine how the guy will feel.its frustrating sha.just b careful nd follow their specifications. our gurus here will always advise that. Oga grammatical errors are a reflection of one's educational exposure. It's here in Nigeria we cut corners and justify grammatical errors with " English is not my father's language or mother tongue". If you are speaking Yoruba, Hausa or Efik, speak it well. If you are learning a new language, errors may be forgiven for leisure learning effort but for academic and professional purposes, the minimum standard should be adhered to because lectures will be dispensed in the English Language ( in this case). One or two typographical errors can be explained via autocorrect and mis-keyed but a write up with numerous spelling errors, wrong use of tenses, no use of paragraphs or absence of punctuation marks, and absence of of technical professional jargons in a profession specific write up, does not show acquired knowledge. Please let us try to improve ourselves in any endeavour especially when applying to go to a country like Canada to maintain the standard they have and improve it for next generation. See how bastardisation of standards has ruined education in the North? Numerous years of being classified as educationally disadvantaged since 80s till date and they are progressively getting worse save for the kids of the elite who can go abroad and compete on uniform standard of assesment. The may not be the best in their class, but are better than their peers in northern Nigeria when they open their mouth to talk 6 Likes |

Can I take Johnson Johnson vaccine once instead of twice with the other vaccine. Is the vaccine recognised in Canada and which one do you advise me to take ? Yeah, the Johnson Johnson vaccine is a single dose, you'd be exempted from quarantine if you've received it. Do you know where they're giving out Johnson Johnson vaccine in Nigeria? 1 Share

My bags were weighed and they were all within the limit allowed (had a scale at home). Hubby now came around, and with big bro they went to take care of wrapping the two check-in bags (I have heard stories of peoples' bags being tampered with). I then went for passenger profile/document verification. Everything went smoothly to the extent that one of the officers commended me for having all the required documents. After that, my bags were checked in and my boarding passes were issued. We then took care of FX and by then it was around 5:30pm. Hubby and big bro kept me company for another hour and after taking some pics, they then took their leave (I almost started crying when hubby was about to leave).
I then reminded myself of one of my many mantras: "EYES ON THE BALL"....lol.
I then went in for immigration checks, oh boy come and see line/queue. Finished that and went and sat down for boarding, which commenced a few minutes later.
The flight was 7hrs 20mins from Lagos to Doha (Qatar Airlines) and their food wasn't my thing, though I enjoyed the sausage and rice (with tiny bits of chicken). Drinks were also provided and in flight entertainment was okay.
We arrived Doha, and mennnn the hot air that heat my face when we disembarked na die. I quickly rushed to meet up with my connecting flight to Montreal (13hrs 15 mins from Doha to Montreal, next time it's European airline).
We arrived Montreal 2 and half hours to my next flight to Toronto. Immigration checks next- The queue here na die because the immigration officers on seat were very few and were not fast enough. We complained to one of the officers and we were told their is nothing they can do and that if we miss our flight, the airline will rebook at no extra cost. That calmed me down a bit, but CBSA were not fast enough.
While we were on the queue, an Asian/International student was not allowed to enter because CBSA could not verify her status on her school portal. Even after she told them she has already paid her fees. Oh boy, come see crying and begging, but no way. She was immediately booked on the next available flight back to her home country. E shock me ooo. I was like: abeg God, I don't mind missing my flight or even sleeping in this airport till the next morning for immigration to do their thing as long as I get stamped in.....lol.
My documents were eventually verified and my permits (Study and Work) were issued. I had to also do a Covid-19 arrival test free of charge and I was given a take home kit for my day 8 test. We were also advised to carry our checked-in luggages since we are switching to another airline. All these made me to miss my flight. So, the airline (Air Canada) rebooked my flight, checked in my bags and 1 hour 20 mins later I arrived Toronto.
At Toronto airport it took a while, but I eventually picked my bags and went out to meet my pick up.
Since I am not fully vaccinated (was only able to get the first dose of AstraZeneca), I am on 2 weeks (14 days) quarantine and I check in every morning with ArriveCAN and COVID-19 Alert apps. I am presently on day 4 of my quarantine. Currently online checking out places to rent, though I can't book appointments to view the property (quarantine wahala).
Hoping and praying that everything falls in place according to my plans in Jesus name. Amen!
To God be all the glory!
It will end in praise!
