My beautiful story to Maple Land of the King's.

It all started in 2015 when I applied for study visa Humber college. Visa denied reason no strong home tiles and purpose of study.

2015 sept. I reapplied again this time Fanshawe college post graduate diploma resumption January.
After 3 months we were called for medicals, Normal thing then visa is ready then to our surprises after one month refusal letter again, I almost lost my mind I gave up on traveling I saw it as time waster. Called for tuition refund then I got married.
Then in 2017 immediate elder brother move to Canada through express entry from UK. Then the ginger started again.

Booked Ethiopia airline for 17th June only to get to airport and met village people waiting there, issue (surname was used as middle name) 400k ticket when down the rail. You know that feeling seeing your partner already checked in and I couldn't fly. Another hustle for next ticket then I dey see one million for one way to Toronto no flight to Edmonton till July 2. God forbid bad thing. I sharply call my elder brother in Canada God bless him for me. He was able to get another ticket with Ethiopia for 580k to Toronto but the problem is Toronto to Edmonton is another 500k ���. That's how i end up paying 1.1m for a fresh ticket just to japa. This japa thing isn't for the soft hearted.

Finally Ethiopia flight sha dey okay but not so comfortable, I used 3bottle of wine to calm my nerves from Lagos to Addis Ababa, to Toronto and Toronto to Edmonton was the last wahala 1:20pm flight change to 5:55pm I was angry but the view in Toronto was beautiful. Should I talk about the train from terminal 1 to 3 or different elevator and long walk to boarding gate B3?? Then getting to Edmonton at 9pm and it seems like afternoon because it's summer and the beautiful layout and silent Edmonton so pleasing. I got home to a welcome party / father's Day celebration. The journey is long but it worth it ... In all I thank God for all he have done for those still in pool and those battling IELTS abeg stay strong and be intentional you will get it. I feel calm leaving Naija knowing it's better security out here. Should be resting today but going to get my SIN and do bank stuff coz I have one interview tonight.

Good day, my international passport does not include my middle name but all my other documents have the middle name. Do I have to do another passport or what can I do to prevent having any issue.

Mamatukwas:
I use the standard Gold card so can’t really advise. But if you decide and choose to go ahead please use my ref link http://amex.co.uk/refer/uGONNCjkWY?XL=MIMNS

(Insert puppy eyes) thank you.

hallly:
By nursery, I assume you mean daycare….daycare is not free. However school is free, and the age a child starts school depends on the province. In Ontario, a child starts school the September of the year they clock 4. So if your child will clock 4 this year, they are eligible for KG this September. Also note that schools close in the afternoon, and if you are not available to have to make provision for after school which is also paid for.

canadaishome:
Can I please confirm if a three year old child is entitled to free nursery?
Thank you in advance for your response

GraciousWords:
Wow...very niche. Good thing is the NOC sef acknowledges that most people in that group are self employed. Congrats again!

Ps: you must be a super creative person! I see you blowing in Canny....

GraciousWords:
Thanks so much for sharing........especially the initial rejection and how you rebounded and your self employed docs list.

C.O.N.G.R.A.T.U.L.A.T.I.O.N.S !!!

NOC mismatch still causing issues..... please share with us how you finally arrived at the right NOC .....what did you do differently than the first time round?

TheGuyFromHR:
Lol, dont panic.

What I do know is this - If your wife is working, she will get her pay reimbursed by the government for the days she has to go to court, and her employer cannot sack her for that. There is a form the employer has to fill (more work for HR) if they wont pay her (at least here in England, check to see if its the same where you are), and she will claim back from the government.

davide470:
Quite funny but a fine actually awaits her.

Well, see attached

SOS!!!
Canada have asked me for passport after 3 years, they don wake up!!
We are already booked for biometrics for April 27 and deadline to submit to Canada is May 8.
I've tried contacting Nigerian high Commission in London about expedited processing but their phone line never gets answered.
Please guys I need your help

Does anyone know if fast/expedited processing is still an option? No information on their website about this

How can I contact UK high Commission and get a fast response?

Ahappygirl:
I want to finally download the much talked about lemonade app. Anyone want me to use their link?

TheGuyFromHR:
Good luck and Godspeed.
Permanent residence in Canada is way better than the half-limbo of a Tier 2 visa with no security and NRPF.

When you go to the HC, speak to them there, the passport unit chaps are approachable and if you explain your matter, they might be willing to expedite for you even if fast track is no longer available.

Mamatukwas:
If Canada is really your home and you can’t get it out quickly from here, just fly home do it and fly back. Na only money e go chop.

LagosismyHome:
