TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by Alchemist01: 10:22am On Jun 08, 2021
Hello Guys,

What do you think about getting a room in a basement apartment in Oshawa that is 40 mins away from Ontario Tech and cost $600 CAD per month?

I am a bit sceptical that the entire apartment is in a basement coupled with the fact that transportation will be an extra cost.

What do you guys think ? as I don't have much options when it comes to accomodation.

Hello Guys,

I am trying to book a flight from Lagos to Toronto airport.

From the research I have done so far, the price tickets seems to be cheaper on Wakanow website than the airline website.

My question now is, how reliable is Wakanow for booking flight ticket ?

Has anybody had any issue booking a flight with Wakanow ?

Is it better to just book from the airline website directly ?

From the airline websites, I got the prices below:

KLM Royal Dutch: Lagos to Toronto $797 wait 5hrs in Amsterdam
British Airways $675 wait for 11 hrs in London
Ethopian Airlines N317K wait 2hrs 45 mins in Addis Ababa and Dublin
Fly Emirates N494K wait 4hrs 10 mins in Dubai
Qatar Airways $824 Wait 3hrs 10mins in Doha Qatar
Lufthansa $847 Wait for 7hrs 35mins in Frankfurt Germany
Air Canada $1107CAD wait for 3hrs55mins in Frankfurt

From Wakanow, it is cheaper than the prices above except for Ethopian airline which is close.

So which is better and safer, booking through Wakanow or directly from the airline website.,,,

Congrats

How did you go about the accomodation on bookings.com ?

Because I thought you have to book with the hotels directly rather than through 3rd party apps ?

The accomodation is just for quarantine right ?

Can someone that got PPR recently provide answer to this ?

For people that have done Passport stamping recently after PPR, which is faster to get your passport stamped and returned back to you ?

VFS LAGOS OR VFS ABUJA ?

I have been hearing that VFS lagos is slower, can someone who has done this recently state their experience ?

I am trying to weigh my options to get my passport back asap.

@Pinkey2021 @oyibo4real

What is the process of doing it this way ?

Does it come in soft copy or hard copy?

Pinkey2021:
I believe they’re all the same ie 30 days and above. Takes much more longer these days.

I’ll advise that if you have someone in Canada to order it for you then do so cos that’s the fastest way, and cheaper too I believe.

You can await others input as well.

Hello Guys,

I have three questions that I need answers to:

1. Assuming my destination is Ontario but I want to do the 3 days quarantine at the cheapest hotel possible, how do I go about that ?

2. What is the cheapest flight from Nigeria to Ontario in May and how do I book it ?

3. How can i get a student apartment for an affordable price in Oshawa, Ontario precisely close to Ontario Tech ? Especially as I am in Nigeria right now. @naijaforeigner
