Do I need to pay to deffer my admission and is it all school that allows that. I applied to Niagara college.
I don't think you will pay just mail the admission department that the timeline is short for you to get response from IRCC that you would like to defer then they will tell you the steps to take or reissue another acceptance letter effecting the new idate

Thanks for the information & enlightenment.

Actually my intentions is not to work.
I have some certification & training (which is closely related to the program am going for)I wanna do, most especially online but low availability of Power Supply & Poor Internet in Naija is not making it go seamless for me

I will try consider some factors before crossing the I's & dot the T's.

Am also trying to consider July 2021 aswell.

Thanks
If that's the reason I think it's valid you can go then with proof that you will be doing some certification's related to your course they should understand my concern is just a valid and genuine reason to go months before your resumption if it's part of your study program then I think it would fly .All the best!!!

Good morning mcobex,

You talked about more money to be spent for the 3-months. Apart from the $10,000 CAD i have with me, I have a Family Friend (My Dad's Colleague) that I would stay with (a PR holder) and would cover for my expenses (mostly for feeding & accommodation) for that less than 3-months period before I resume in Sept, do you feel that can suffice?

Also will I also be explaining this to the CBSA officials or they are only concerned with the legit/genuine reason why I came a bit earlier before resumption date ?

Thanks
I

So Guys I didn't know a new thread has been created because I've been on transit and currently in quarantine. Although I thought it's not so necessary as some colleague here have shared their experience but I believe this could still be a guide for some of you.
My Destination was Hamilton (McMaster University)
Airline: Ethiopian Airlines
Departure: 18th of Dec. 2020
Arrival: 19th of Dec. 2020

I was living in Chevron Lekki, so I left by 6 am to avoid traffic. I used Taxify. We got to the Airport (MMIA) by 7:12 am and waited for check-in to begin by 8 am.

When check-in started at MMIA, The immigration was checking traveling bags and even those with foodstuff were giving them tips. It got to my turn they ask me to go. I didn't go with any foodstuff and they didn't check me.

At Ethiopian Airlines I was asked to present my Enrolment letter and Passport and thereafter asked to wait until it is verified, after about 20-30 minutes I was cleared and given a boarding pass (2 boarding pass-1 from Lagos to Ethiopian, 2 from Ethiopia to Dublin to refill and then en route to Toronto), a yellow paper for a declaration (this will be collected by Immigration along the line, please ask a question from official if you don't know what to do, My bags were check-in except for the one with a laptop and my documents (please fill your final destination well). Nigerian immigration was busy asking for tips...I no give them shi....but I was friendly to them sha.............. We waited until 11 am when boarding started. Please lest I forget you will pass through 8 checkings or more before you reach the boarding area so carry a little bag, maybe your laptop bag and documents. some carried big bags, anyway the choice is yours. The plane let by few minutes to 2 pm.

We got to Ethiopia by 9 pm. The flight was 5 hours and 20 mins but the arrival time is because of the time difference. We drove from the plane to the Airport Terminal and went through a long walk inside the Airport (all man for himself). Please ask questions make you no go follow those going to Dubia or Mozambique. At the boarding zone in Etiopia, we boarded just about 30 mins and flew for another 6 hours to Dublin, refilled for about 1 hour, and flew for about 6 hours to Toronto. Inside the flight, before you reach Toronto Airport, you will be given some forms to fill, please fill it inside the plane. (Abeg carry a pen with you make you no go dey beg biro).

At Toronto Airport, it was a long lonely walk because we were release in batches because of COVID-19 so you may see yourself walking alone. Please follow the signs. Fill your ArriveCAN on your phone and show your phone to them. I snapped it and show the snapped receipt (containing letters) to them. You will also be asked along the way to submit the documents you filled on the plane to immigration. At POE, the Canadian immigration that attended to me asked me for Acceptance Letter (AL) and Prove of tuition payment....I gave her my AL and my Enrolment Letter. She told me congratulation because I had a scholarship and TA (Teaching Assistantship) and encourage me to apply for PR. I collected my study permit, passport, social Insurance form, and when to pick my check-in baggage. Thereafter, the Airways Transit taxi I booked from Nigeria was waiting for me outside. The retired Canadian Taxi man that drove me was nice and we talked until I got to my quarantine residence. Since then I have been receiving free meals 3 times daily until next year with free WiFi (14 days).

I had a zoom discussion with my supervisor yesterday and by the new year, work starts. I encourage every one of you to never give up, even if not for anything but for your children. Nigeria is dying. We will try to be here whenever we can to assist, all the best all.

Lest I forget, Hamilton went into lockdown on the 21 Dec. and Toronto will be going into lockdown on the 26th of Dec. but I don't know if this affects international flight. I'm not sure I remembered everything but if you ask me I go answer.
It was an awesome experience thanks for sharing we can learn from this.It will end in testimony and praise for the remaining of us

they gave me from 19th January
Then go with Q-Life if Q-Life is 19th and confirm the appointment with them as in choose a day you want to go in and I guess someone just posted now they increased it to 40k so confirm the price with them but Q-Life is in Lagos

So guys I emailed iom medicals and they're charging 46,500 for medicals. Wow that's much oo. But what and what do they normally do sef.
That's their price Q-Life is 35k if you are in Lagos and note tell them to give you a date before Paying in IOM cuz they might end up giving you a date in March /April and it's non refundable after some months they might refund you if you end up not doing it with them you can also check with Q-Life to get a date and compare both dates for the one that's closer if you are in Lagos

Hello house

Please did anyone who already travelled or planing to travel open a Canadian account from here in Nigeria. From the rules of quarantine, I can see one is supposed to remain indoors for the entire 14 days, unless there is a medical emergency. So how does someone get food and groceries for the duration of quarantine? Apparently, it is advised one make orders with online transfers or make payments with cards instead of leaving your accommodation to a store to spend cash. That can attract a fine. I got cash with me but I just wanna have options.

Will appreciate it especially if folks under quarantine tell of their experience
I guess someone mentioned it here that cuz of this Covid and quarantine that one should try as much as possible to open your bank account at the airport once you land in Canada I guess this is the reason so one can have access to do online transfers etc.
