TheDarkGamer:


Thank you for this.

I have to submit proof of vaccination or proof of exemption to the university. The deadline is close and if I can't meet up with the vaccination, what proof of exemption can I submit?

It would be nice if I could know the things that can exempt me from taking the vaccine. I hope you understand.

ANNOUNCEMENT ! ANNOUNCEMENT!
The eagle has landed!
Study permit approval and in possession announcement.
We thank God for giving us this visa. He gave us the knowledge to navigate through the maze of Canada study permit application. He will not share his glory with anybody. I say this because we tried using Immigration Lawyer from Canada but the conditions in their letter was not palatable to us. We also tried using a consultant in Nigeria, even paid consultancy fees. At the end we were discouraged and went in on our own. I also felt I could give the application a personal touch. I am my spouse put head together to draft the LOE. God used some nice people in this forum to answer our questions.

Main applicant is my spouse.
Applied for Visitor visa for our 18month child. Our child’s visa is not yet out but we are believing in God. I heard that all those that applied for Visitor visa before August are advised to reapply.

My opinion,
It is God that will decide if it will turn out positive or not because He sees the future. The race is not to the swift or the smartest. The documents we submitted are basic but it was meant to be.
Just as our faces are different, the same way our application will be different. Copy and paste doesn’t work in this case.

You're taking the right step. Book for your medicals and biometrics and get a date. All things being equal, you'll get biometrics instruction letter a day after submitting your application. With this, you can do both medicals and biometrics before returning to your base.

Jay316:
u may need to show ur mom's marriage certificate to show she once had the same surname with the man or bday certificate if possible. its 3rd party sponsorship but if u can establish good enough ties,I think u r good to go.u have to justify y he is choosing to sponsor u though and he must have enough funds in his account to cater for u and still have enough balance to Carter for his immediate family (dependants).u can also so affidavits of sponsorship and if possible let him make some commitments. remember u have to also establish ur personal relationship with him as a 3rd party sponsor with may b old and new pictures of u two

Davidganna10:
how much did you pay?

PatrickOkunima:

You're lucky to have paid to the right person. Some people paid more than you did and didn't get it that fast. When I did mine, I paid 60K and got it after 4 months. Some people who paid only the official rate got theirs much earlier.

TheDarkGamer:


16. That's what someone told me at least. I was told that I had to be at least 18 years old.

Vjtimmzy:


Yes it better to meet the guys that help the officers arrange the document than the officer's them self, some of the officers will collect money and spend it. Those guys even work pass some of those officers.

If they say who submitted the most clueless application, na me but when God is involved, protocols are waived


I submitted long before I even discovered this group on NL with the guide of a friend, and our thoughts as at then was that it's just a permit without TRV, since border was closed then.

Oya, here is my 'tori'

I started the admission process last year when the lockdown was so serious, around April, but could not get LOA due to the fact that I was unable to get my transcript...by the time I could lay my hands on it in July, 2020... Admission don finish...I was told to change my course for the ones available in January 2021, but I decided to wait it out till Sept, 2021.

2021 came, I received my LOA on 1st of June, after a deposit of 265o, okay...wuruwuru, I combed 'inside and outside'...I came up with this few documents and submitted...then backed it up with midnight prayers, afternoon prayers, church prayer points, morning prayers, anywhere prayers...I prayed all through the process o...because if it by documents, I did not even submit half of what I'm seeing here

LANDING GIST

300k for the extra 4 bags??


My flight was scheduled for 10:55 pm on Sunday.
We all went to the airport by 2:00pm because we had excess luggage and also to check in on time.
At 2, there wasn’t any crowd, we had 23kg into ten places (entitled to just 6 bags at 23kg) and paid 300k for extra luggage.

Things requested for at Nigerian airport:
1. Arrive can
2. Stamped visas
3. Enrollment letter
4. Covid 19 test

We finished all checks around 5:pm. Please no matter the time for your flight, try and get to the airport early because the crowd from five ehn!, I wouldn’t have meet up if I went late.

Tickets were printed out, yellow card given as well and passport scanned.

I said final goodbyes to my in-laws around eight and got checked in.

We used Lufthansa, we left 10:55pm and got to Frankfurt after 6 hours. We had layover of about six hours.

Things asked at Frankfurt by immigration.

1. Arrive can
2. Visas
3. Covid test result
4. Quarantine plan (14 days at Airbnb)

Our flight to Vancouver moved around 1:35pm on Monday (Germany time). It was the longest ten hours of my life. I never knew traveling with an active baby was this hard. They served their usual
Leaves but I no gree chop am because my turkey and meat Dey my bag Dey wait me(lol).

We got to Vancouver around 14:35(Vancouver time )on Monday . I filled arrival form on the system and moved to immigration.

At immigration in Vancouver, no cue or crowd at all.
Things asked by immigration:
1. Stamped visas of hubby , I and baby.
2. Hubby’s letter of authorization (the letter sent after your pp has been stamped ).

His work permit and baby’s visit visa was printed. No need for mine as i already had my study permit since July .
I waited for welcome to Canada and nothing ,yet again.

I and hubby got tested for covid at the airport and self test kit given for day eight test.

We moved to claim luggages(every bag complete ) there after entered taxi to our Airbnb for quarantine.

I wish everyone all the best.
Amen

I think you can only get the right advise from someone that has passed through this phase. When they say proof of exemption, there should be guidelines to get this proof... which could be through doctor in an approved hospital to write why you cannot be vaccinated. You can check with the approved hospitals in your city if residence and go to any one to get the procedure for the exemption and possibly get one. If it is not possible, then discuss with your school on the possibility of getting another vaccine in Canada approved for minors if there is any. My younger bro is 14 and couldn't also get his in Nigeria before travelling cause of age but he got one in Germany and have completed his 2nd dose too. So I think countries will have other approved ones for minors.
