What a lesson, I have done this a couple of times, help people with their luggage into the overhead compartment. New policy developed and approved with immediate effect. Thanks for sharing this

Jay316:
someone shared this some time ago and I felt I should share 4 those of us travelling soon.


If you travel by air a lot, beware of over friendly chatty seat neighbours

The older lady comes and sits next to me inside the plane. She asked me to help her put her bag in the overhead luggage compartment. But a gentleman sitting across quickly came through. (I am not very tall and the overhead luggage compartment is something I try to avoid at all costs.

Immediately she sits down she strikes up a conversation. She was very pleasant and well spoken. So we chatted all through the flight to Dubai.
Suddenly, when the pilot announced that we were now proceeding to begin our descent into DXB, my good friend 'developed' stomach pains. Me with my good heart, I pressed the stewards button, and the stewardess came to find out what the problem was. I told her my seat mate was not feeling well. And this lady, she suddenly began to address me as 'my daughter'.

The stewardess told me that there was nothing they could do except give her some painkillers and wait until we landed. The pilot announced that we had a medical emergency on board and advised us all to stay calm. My new friend was crying and sweating like crazy. And she refused to let go of my hand... everyone assumed we knew each other.

So we landed at DXB and the same gentleman who helped put up her luggage in the overhead compartment removed her luggage. But as he removed the luggage, he advised me to distance myself from this lady and make it clear to the cabin crew that we were NOT travelling together. He was a godsend!

So indeed, the cabin crew came and asked me if we were related, I categorically told them we had met on the plane. I didn't know her at all. So we began to deplane and as I said goodbye she kept begging me to carry her handbag. I was so torn... but the gentleman looked me in the eye and emphatically shook his head. He passed me a note telling me to let the cabin crew handle her.

So I exit the aircraft and leave my 'new friend' to wait for the wheelchair and be handled by the cabin crew feeling very guilty.

As we waited for our luggage to come through, I hear this commotion. My 'new friend' was running, trying to escape the cabin crew, having gotten out of the wheelchair! She left the stewardess with her handbag and just ran towards the exit with the rest of her hand luggage! Luckily the airport police were faster than her. They got hold of her and brought her back in handcuffs.

This lady starts calling out to me.. my daughter... my daughter!.. how could you do this to me..... that's when I caught on. She was carrying drugs and she was trying to implicate me!

Luckily for me, the gentleman who had helped her with her luggage came forward and told the airport police that me and her had just met on the plane. The police took my passport and asked her to reveal my full names if it was true we were travelling together. By God's grace, I had not even told her my first name! I was still asked to follow the police to a little room where I was questioned extensively. Where did I meet her?... where did I board... where did she board. Etc... And my luggage was extensively searched and dusted for fingerprints.

They dusted all her luggage and my fingerprints were not found anywhere on her luggage or on her handbag!
I was let go with advice never ever to touch anyone's luggage either in flight or at the airport. So from that day, I don't care how much luggage you have, you will deal with it yourself. I will not even offer you a trolley to put your luggage on! Your luggage... your problem.... is my policy. And if you can't reach the overhead compartment, and I am the nearest person, please call the cabin crew because all I will do is give you a blank stare and then look away!

A lesson to glean therein for intending air travelers.

My Timeline in pixels below

Is the receipt of tuition fee important?
And how of the fees must be paid or all?

viviangogos:
Please see the below list I have compiled so far from peoples landing gists:

So for your travel to Canada you will need
1 Enrollment letter
2. Your stamped Passport
3. Covid 19 negative result
4.Receipt of tuition fee
5. Your quarantine plan ( for both vaccinated and unvaccinated )
6. Arrive Can receipt
7.Passenger locator form( this is needed if you are transiting through UK. That is if you book flights like BA etc to be submitted to the UK government
8.Print study permit approval letter.

People that travelled recently can add if there are some that I missed out.

All the best!!!

The date is almost here, I would have adviced you call IOM abuja, they rescheduled me for an earlier date than what IOM lagos gave me and I was notified 2days after I completed the medicals that my result had been sent to IRCC and my profile was updated the second day to passed by IRCC. Just ensure you raise a webform and upload the evidence of the medicals given to you from IOM office immediately you complete the medicals.

Jay246:
Good afternoon nairalanders….. please I need an answer to this.
I received my letter for medical on the 23rd of Septemberand I was given a 30days deadline to do it… I was scheduled by IOM to do it on the 21st of October. My question is isn’t the date too close to the deadline for doing and submitting my medical details

You can also add your wife's appointment letter showing how much she earns as a form of evidence to show there is enough fund for them to take care of themselves in your absence. My little contribution

Perfectyyyyyy:
Once again thanks.

I am a male. My wife and kids would be staying behind. My wife is employed so she would have enough to take care of herself and kids. In additional to that, I have a Haulage truck what would be generating fund for them and for other purposes while I am away.

Centennial does not need IELTS as long as you are from an English speaking country

lilylurv:
I only sent transcript, CV and B.Sc Cert

She did not pity you, she could not have prevented you from boarding, read the following on ArriveCAN on their website:

If you don't submit your information through ArriveCAN
If you don't submit your information through ArriveCAN, you:

may be denied boarding if arriving by air and may be denied entry into Canada if crossing at a land or marine border crossing (if you are a foreign national travelling for discretionary purposes)
Canadian citizens, permanent residents or persons registered under the Indian Act and foreign nationals eligible to enter Canada under another entry exemption (such as foreign work, study, compassionate grounds) will not be denied boarding or entry, but you:

won't be eligible for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption
may face additional delays at the border for public health questioning
may be subject to fines or enforcement action


CONGRATULATIONS

LANDING GIST

Let me start by apologizing for going MIA, a lot of running around.

I got to the Abuja airport around 10am (plenty traffic i wan cry) boarding starts by 11:30am. Met the First Lady who scanned some of my documents (Covid test result and passport), moved to the next queue where they asked what was in my bag and opened to check, the man just scanned through and zipped it back, I moved on to the next queue and the lady requested for my enrollment letter, passport, Covid test result and arrivecan (Omo i filled the arrivecan oo, even printed it out sef) but she said mine had issues and i couldn’t board (in my mind, my village people have found me ooo) she even assigned one of the staffs to help me but to no avail, others had already started boarding and i couldn’t cos arrivecan is a must ooo, finally the lady decided to have mercy and clear me to board without it, I checked my bags in (exact 50kg) I had two hand luggages (a small box and laptop bag) that they didn’t scale or check in. I moved on to board and passed the last groups who didn’t ask for anything asides passport and what are you going for and where. I boarded and we took off, we stopped at Addis Abiba and i boarded another flight to Toronto (we didn’t waste time, just keep reading the signs and locate your next boarding gate) we got to Toronto and first things first, I filled my details into one system and it generated a receipt which i used to proceed,i queued for the first immigration officer who asked for arrivecan and i explained ( he said it’s from the vaccine i took cos I’m fully vaccinated) he asked me to fill on paper this time and that was all, after that I proceeded to the main immigration and it took 1 hour 30 before it finally got to my turn and the lady only asked for passport and letter of authorization, ( she asked which of my courses I’m looking forward to studying and i told her) she printed and gave me study permit, then read the 20 hours work a week rules, omo nobody asked me for how much i had oo or even statement of account wey i carry. ( I had already missed my connecting flight to Vancouver) I went to fly Canada check in and they put me on the next flight which was scheduled to leave in 30 minutes.I had to go pick all my luggages and check them in to my next flight at the Toronto airport, the immigration officer didn’t ask me about vaccine or ask me to quarantine or even where i have in mind ooo(I sha got quarantine update from my arrivecan app and I’ve been filling it daily). I boarded my flight to Vancouver and when i landed there was no more documentation, or anything, I just picked my luggages and ran to my sister. Ethiopian airlines served me 6 meals from Nigeria to Toronto and they were all nice food with any drink of your choice ( I would actually recommend them) plus they had nice movies ooo.

I return all glory to God for making this possible and here is a thank you to my naira land family. Thank you team

Its best you get an appointment before going as they may likely not attend to you. Had to schedule mine to abuja. If you are 15yrs and above which i think you will be, its #46500.

eclint:
They said Tuesday next week is a holiday and they can't work on that day. I was rescheduled to the next day.

What's the probability of getting a PPR after a medical invitation

CalcreteJB:
Got medical request yesterday, trying to get an appointment and both IOM and Q-life seem fully booked for October. Confused

+234 8113975433
+234 7027704055, try those numbers. I reached out to IOM abuja and they were able to reschedule to an earlier date next week

Zhaynurb:
Please can you share me their contact ���������� thanks

I called Q-life and they told me that's the best they can do considering that all the month had been booked out, so I had to take it that way. Still waiting on IOM to respond to my mail. I don't know if there is any center in Port Harcourt where the test can be carried out.

Hannahopaleye12:
Hello,

I got the same appointment date from qlife and iom as well and I also have the same expiry date. I’m very skeptical about the dates as they are too close to the deadline so I emailed back pleading for an earlier date but if nothing can be done I will just have to accept it.

You?

Yeah Q-life responded and gave me 26th of October and the 30days given by ircc expires on the 28th, is this workable please

Hannahopaleye12:
Have you gotten a feedback from any of the hospitals?

Thank you, will do that

Malone122:
contact both hospitals and tell them you have been requested to do your medicals from ircc they should fix you with an earlier date

June 26, Amen oo

DestinationCann:
Congratulations on advance on your PPR.

Please when did you apply?

Okay thank you. Will do that immediately

Malone122:

Got medical request yesterday, trying to get an appointment and both IOM and Q-life seem fully booked for October. Confused

PaPaJayden:
Nice one! PPR shall come IJN!
For all those who have received a medical request letter and awaiting the grand decision, can we all please keep in touch??

You can add your CV if you have been working. And it helps more if your work experience is in line with the course you want to apply for. Though not all colleges accept CV.

Titan1295:
Try Bay River college, Calgary

Good day everybody, I need to know if one can conduct the medical examination in any other high profiled hospital in Lagos apart from the IOM and Q-life family clinic has stated in the medical request. Please I need an urgent response.

I have been requested to go for medicals but both IOM and Q-life seem booked almost throughout October, I need an alternative please. Thanks as I await responses please

I will like to verify my wechat account, can you help out please?

Type the email, don't follow the prediction.

I typed but it's still saying invalid email or password

You can perfectly say that again

That's good, don't worry your prayers will be answered and never pretend to be fine when you are not. Proper communication is key.

Destinyy22:
Thank you. I don't joke with my prayers, I pray well. It will work out fine.
