Which ones and why?

smileymum:
Hi guys,

Please help with my question.

My mum's TRV was approved, the purpose of travel at the time we applied was for her to accompany us to Canada to settle as new PRs. However, we are about to leave and she is unable to come with us any longer because she has to take care of my dad who is ill at the moment. I am expecting a baby sometime next year, can she use the same visa to come and babysit for me then? Hope she won't have issue at the border?
Thanks.

I am sure she won't have issues. Please how long did it take for your mum s visa to get issued. My mum applied in September and nothing yet. Thanks

Read from page 1 before you start asking questions on the thread. You'll be glad you did.

Ethelia:
Hurray! Welcome and thanks be to God for a safe trip

Merovingian:
Congrats agates. How did you get the accommodation? The website, payment method, etc

Ethelia:
Lol, sis have you landed?

Ethelia:
Please you people should shift for me in the boat as well. Finally decided to land mid October in Alberta. Na God go help us.

Candybright:
Which airline is this and how did you book it?

vcole:
I don't think you need a visa to transit in the UK as long as you are not changjng airports.

loudlumi:
Please do not book that flight, I made the same mistake 4 weeks ago and luckily later got to know that a visa would be required when I visited lufthansa's office. I've had to book another flight for next month when I was supposed to land on the 23rd of August.
If you book it you would need a regular schengen visa not a transit visa. As travel between 2 schengen states is deemed a local flight.
Best wishes.

A555:
If you connect from Frankfurt to Heathrow, you'll need a UK visa. Not Schengen.

The connections you're coming up with are not what I would normally expect. If you are looking at passing through Frankfurt, I assume you're looking at booking via Lufthansa, and Lufthansa should connect you direct to Calgary from Frankfurt in an Air Canada aircraft.

Unless there's something you have planned for Europe, you can look at the same airlines you're considering, but avoid options that include transit through a second European country.

By the way, you also need a US visa if you consider any of the options transiting through US cities.

vcole:
@agates, the rule is that once you are passing through 2 schengen countries you need a visa. It doesn't matter if you are transiting or not. With Ethiopian airlines, Dublin is in Ireland so this does not apply. Best bet is to apply for a transit visa or get a route that only transits in 1 schengen country.

A555:
You'll definitely need a transit visa if you go with this route. Perhaps look for an alternative connection that does not require Paris to Amsterdam transfer.

Looks like you're trying to make the booking with Air France, but if you go with KLM direct, you can go Lagos to Amsterdam to Calgary.

If you want to stick with Air France, look for the options that connect Lagos to Paris through Vancouver (or Toronto or Montreal) to Calgary.

Bellniki1:
You don't need a transit visa if you are not changing airport. If you have to change airports for connecting flight then you'll need one.
For your trip to Canada, I don't think you need one.

Congrats to everyone who got PPR while I was away.

Hi good people,

Quick question please, my AOR is 5 February, and I am yet to hear back. It's been 6 months now. My Gcms notes looks normal.

Question- is there anything I should be doing? Can I send a reminder to London office? How do I go about it, if yes?

Kindly let me know the next steps to take to get them to attend to my file. We are a family of three with a Canadian child.

Thank you!!

Ethelia:
Sisto, bun is rising nicely Thanks a lot.

Coming to this thread with all the unnecessary arguments is just tiring and most times I just waka pass. Today its about airline when a simple google search will reveal the answer i.e Most/A lot of airlines will carry at 8months so long as you have a medical report, etc confirming the age of the pregnancy and that there are no medical complications.

Now, if you are asking wether its 'advisable' for pregnant women to fly at 8 months thats another topic because by then most women would be tired and all that.

oladoyinsola:
Thanks @ DonTee07

I am the primary applicant and I've even submitted the payslips just the way they were.

My POF is gift deed from both my hubby and mum which has no impact on my salary.

However, I am considering raising a CSE or just leave the application as it is.

What do you advise?

Chicituababe:
EMERGENCY!!!!!!
Pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee someone answer this please. Does it pose such a great disadvantage to someone who classified NYSC under government when filling their personal activities while applying after ITA? And please if somone scaled through doing this and got their ppr, please clarify this for some of us that are in this situation. And is there a way we can change this, if possible. Please

Complete 3 weeks, mine got to them on 12th Jul., received information it was dispatched from Accra on 2nd August...

Ifywhyteman:
God be praised...Collected my passports from Vfs Globals today. If you sent yours through a courier and wish to collect in person, you need to go with a means of identification (voters card, driver's licence or some other legal document that can be used to identify you), also I presented the mail sent to me by Vfs that showed my tracker number. Go to the first floor, booth 1 or 2 for collection. Don't know if I will be able to sleep this night...Can somebody get me Valium 5...

Newmum0615:
Only the IMM008. I wrote one smallie letter stating that my family size is still the same.

Newmum0615:
Nice. I spent exactly 1hr 30mins there. 8am to 9.30am and that was it. I was the only one submitting for PR as at the time I came. One other guy came later. I suspect that it was you. Lol. It was quite an easy process. Just remember to start from the 2nd floor after you are done with the search at the gate. When you collect your tally number, move to the 1st floor and sit according to your tally number. You can seat anywhere, but just be sure to listen for when the guy at counter 1 calls your number. Don't fret when he starts calling the names of some people before he starts attending to your batch. They are the people who came for passport collection and they usually attend to them first. They are not a lot of them. From there, you move quickly. It's a straightforward process. I think they have integrated the process into their daily work, so it's more organized now. Try and go early.

cheromel:
I also submitted on July 9 and online status shows it has been dispatched from Accra too. I wonder what is taking them so long to send PUM.
