Congrats sis. I'm so glad it's here now

Thanks my bro. Cant wait to celebrate with you. 2019 will surely be awesome for us all.

Merovingian:
You are not alone. Just this morning i had to research on this. I visited Ethiopian airline office weeks back who said 10kg (not sure the attendant understood that my flight was to Canada) but checking their website now i see 23kg for flights from/to Canada. I plan to call their office to clear this out

Hi @Merovingian
Hope you are good. Please have you been able to reach Ethiopian airlines to confirm the luggage allowance for infants? Been calling but no one has picked up.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oh wow! Thanks for this info. I'd call them up too. Was about to change our airline.

Thank you @Luce

:

1st step - Send an email with your driver's license details to the FRSC Abuja Office requesting a FRSC letter or driving record.
You are more likely NOT to receive a reply from the FRSC Abuja office.

2nd step- Follow up your email by contacting this Abuja FRSC Employee (Sule - phone number 2348033795031)
Sule will access the FRSC Database and will write for you the FRSC letter.
I was also told that the Service provided by Sule is free of charge . The only money you will send to him is for the shipment of the FRSC letter to you.

Bonne chance

Hello @Congo2 and landed seniors.

Please what address is FRSC suppose to put on the letter. Mr. Sule just asked me to send that to him now. Please help.

GlitteringStar2:
I think EgyptAir is 23kg---https://www.egyptair.com/en/fly/baggage/Pages/baggage-allowance.aspx



Cc: Bimsebony

Alright. Thanks alot sis.

Thanks @sweetrie. Not all airlines ooo. I used Emirates this year and it was 23kg for my baby.

Thanks alot ladies

sweetrie:
10kg for infants. 2years and above get 2*23kg plus 7kg

Just 10kg. Was hoping it would be 1*23kg. Mmmhh. Might have to switch to another airline ooo.

Thanks @sweetrie

PrinceAdeAde:
Congrats @Bimsebony, I though they were frowning on using PFAs and you even use 25% of both yours and Hubby. Thats great news for me o. Please biko, confirm I got this rigth

Absolutely correct.

Hello everyone.

I welcome myself officially to this thread. I have been a silent reader.

Copr received Dec 18, 18

Please I have a question for those who used Ethopian airlines and had an infant traveling. What is the luggage allowance for infant. I am seeing conflicting info on this.

Please your response is highly needed. Thanks

ebony9ja:
Good morning all . so a friend of mine got PPR few hours ago with a passport submission request within 15 days . Two items were flagged in his PPR mail . His passport as PA will expire in march 2019 & medical will expire in June 2019. It means he must land before february with his current passport- an option he is not willing to take.With a new passport, he can as well postpone his landing till april or may 2019.. My question is what specific document will he raise in order to submit a new passport for his PPR considering the passport request deadline? .

He cant submit the current passport. His passport needs to have at least 6months validity.

He should process a new passport. I am sure he can process a new one in 2 - 3 days. So he can still meet the 15days deadline.

beges:
Congratulations! One question for you. Did you use your hubby PFA even though you are PA?

Yes I did. We used 25% of both of our PFA funds.

brainy4oli:
You said you submitted a Schesule A form for hubby because he had a Visa refusal. Please which one is Schedule A form?

Its a form that requires your info on some statutory questions and your education, job history, accommodation history etc

What shall I render to Jehovah, for he has done so very much for me! It has ended in worship oooooo.

Its C O P R!!!!!

Long post alert
This Journey started sometime in 2017, lots of people around me, both in the office and church were always talking about relocating. I even had some old friends who out to the blue called to say “I don dey US oooo, I don enter Canada ooo.” Chai, na so the interest to leave this our beloved country begin and I rekindled my love for nairaland so I could get info. But I needed to cross one hurdle, hubby was not so interested. He is one of those “we can make it in Nigeria”. So my first mission was to convince hubby, I got his friends who were on this journey to speak with him and his brother-in-law who he respected to do same. Serious prayer sef enter the matter. This went on for months but finally, he agreed and we started the journey fully.

ECA – In October 2017 we registered for WES. Applied our schools to send our transcripts. I have 3 certificates and I decided to evaluate all (Bsc, CIPM & Msc). I did this because I knew I will need it for my HR career in Canada and didn’t want to go back and forth after I had relocated. My Uk Msc was sent and accepted by WES within 2weeks. Na so the wait for UNILAG start ooo, strike and their inefficiency will not allow them to be great. To cut the long story short WES finally came through for hubby and I in April 2018 and May 2018 respectively.

IELTS – I registered from IELTS with BC to write on February 10, 2018. I had been preparing since November 2017, though distracted with my new born then but I created time somehow. So I wrote and result came out as LRSW 8.5 9 7.5 6.5. Chai, see as writing spoil this fine result. I was heartbroken but immediately applied for EOR.
The wait for BC’s response on the EOR was so excruciating and draining. It took them 16 long weeks to respond and at the end of the day no change. WOW! I was devastated but I had to pick myself up and then started studying immediately. Writing was my cross, so I focused my reading on it. @glitteringstar2 and @dannyko took it upon themselves to review, critique and correct my writing. Thank you so much ladies, I owe you a lot. So I registered with MOD July 28, 2018 and 13days wait for result was like 13 years. And finally I got my desired results LRSW 9 9 8 7. I had to run out of the office so I could scream ……… my excitement hit the roof. God did it. Meanwhile hubby wrote and gave us 14 points to add to CRS score for his IELTS.

ITA – This came August 22, 2018 most of our documents were ready expect POF, PPC & Medical. Got those sorted within 2 - 3 weeks and submitted September 15, 2018.

POF – this was a combination of FD in an investment company, 25% of RSA funds for hubby and I and gift deed from mum. I did a cover letter on POF explaining the breakdown of funds and its equivalent in Canadian dollars.

Travel history – Hubby and I have an extensive travel history. Submitted a schedule A form for hubby because he had a visa refusal but we got an ADR for same. After AOR, we went on a family vacation to the US. So upon return, I raise a CSE on this and informed CIC.

Things to note
Everyone’s journey is different, there is no 1 size fits all. I have seen people get PPR in 20days and I have also seen in 18months. Just do your research very well, gather all the info you need, trust God, pray and launch into action. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum, read as much as you can, take notes (I have a Canada diary I jot all info in) and ask questions. Always check your EE profile from time to time. After AOR, I never got an update mail, neither in my inbox nor spam. The only mail I got was PPR mail.

As I round off, I’d like to say thank you to 2 special people I have met here @glitteringstar2 and @dannyko, you guys are the MVPs, from online friends to sisters, God bless you both. And to those that have helped out and encouraged me along the way @mmanwanyi @peddy001, @newmum0615, @40manlappy, @ddymples, @ogenel7, @mcstan18, @ddu, @bizguru000, @lastruct, @bayojbbb2002, @queenieB, @luffyhaki, @olha, @grace135, @demi007, @nancyeliot just to mention a few etc. My God will surely amaze you in mind-blowing ways.

It really ended in WORSHIP!!!
