Hi everyone.

Please what should I carry along to VFS for biometrics capturing?

Also, please do you have any tips to ensure I finish quickly and leave there early?

The person going is over 60 years old, would this help to reduce the time the person would spend at VFS?

Thank you very much!!!

Happy new year people of NL!!

May this new year bring blessings to us all!!

I recently arrived in Canada (Niagara region) September last year on a student visa and I have not been able to get a part-time job.

Please I would greatly appreciate any job opportunities or OG tips on how to better my search and improve my chances of finding anything at this point.

Background: My education and work experience is Finance related, and I am also SmartServe certified.

Thank you very much senior people!!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
I was wondering though why ask for proof of tuition payment as not all schools require you to make payment prior to resumption, particularly if the admission was UNCONDITIONAL

Hi, I honestly don’t know why
But it’s like a normal conversation you’re having with a person, if you show them reasons why you don’t have they should understand

Good morning everyone
Thought to drop landing gists as this forum really helped me
1. Booked my flight (Lagos to Toronto) first week in August, best to book this early as I paid a lot for the flight ticket
2. The airline was Lufthansa, with a stop in Frankfurt
3. Left Nigeria by some minutes past 12 am and got to Frankfurt in less than 8 hours.
4. Connecting flight to Toronto got delayed by about 1 hour, but we still managed to get to Toronto almost as scheduled (Like 4:45pmToronto time)
5. At the point of entry, because I had done my Cbss declaration through arrivecan, the entry process was quick.
6. I then went to like a waiting area to get my study permit.
7. The wait for getting the study permit was a long one (waited for like 5hours and I really don’t know why).
8. Cbsa officer didn't ask that many questions, only proof of school fees payment which I provided. However I noticed that they asked one guy for his proof of course registration which he couldn’t provide hence they told he guy to wait, so it’s best to get all your documents ready as you might not be able to determine which one they’d ask for. I was with my admission letter, proof of funds, Airbnb booking details and proof of tuition payment but they only asked for the proof of school fees payment.
I’m eternally grateful to God for journey mercies and his favor throughout the whole relocation process and I’m also really grateful to this forum and the people here for all the information shared. You guys rock!!!!!

zubizareta:
That date is not far off. Just have plausible reason why you will be resuming 1 week late.

Is it possible you send a mail to your school to inform them of the 1 week lateness and explain your reason. Hopefully they give you a positive feedback and a cover to resume that date. You print the correspondence as further evidence to present to immigration at POE

Thanks a lot boss

zubizareta:
Yes but the problem you might will be at POE. Let's say the visa comes out when your September program has started. What do you do? What do you explain to them at POE that you are coming in after your program has started.
Ask your school if your program can be started online pending when you get approval. With this you have plausible explanation to give the immigration guys at POE. Then also, you still have the option of continuing the current program or switching to the January intake which might not be necessary.

Hi Zubizareta.

Thank you for all your advise on this group.

Please I need your opinion on this.

I plan on arriving Canada within a week after my program has started

Do you think that would be an issue at the POE?

Gentlesoul3268:
You will receive another email indicate LAGOS then you can go to VFS office to collect your passport

Thanks a lot boss!! I appreciate you.

Good morning great people of NL.

Thank you for your help so far

Please after this, what's next?

Thanks for your assistance !!!

Good morning people...

I am going for my biometric capturing today

From Berger, by public transport, how do I get to Lekki phase 1?


Thanks in advance for your response

Hi, Hope this isn't too late.

From Berger, get a vehicle to Lekki-Ajah, then drop at Ikate (third round-about), when you drop there, VFS is in the street just opposite where you drop.

Please people of God. Who has any tips for booking flights. I'm heading to St. Catherines, early September (2nd or 3rd).
Thanks

Thank you all in anticipation of your responses.

Good morning people of God
