Good day everyone
Please if one medical is going to expire before one travels to Canada but visa has been approved, is it compulsory to do another medical.

Yes. Also, since your Visa is approved, go and read your letter of introduction. It's clearly stated there.

Please how much was Egyptair ticket?
What's the luggage limit?

I paid 242k for a flight in August. 23kg luggage x 2 and 7kg hand luggage.

Everything about this Canada Journey is extreme sport.

Finally received my stamped Passport back after 15 business days since the day I sent it which is almost a month counting every single day from the day I sent.

VFS Lagos na Slug. People, abeg send your Passport to Abuja VFS and be done in 5 days.

Only the beautiful sight of this counterfoil makes all the wait worth it.

Congrats on a safe trip Bro. Egyptair to Toronto for me in August. Can't wait!

Landing Gist !!!


Well, I was aspiring to type lot of story but my trip was quite short and simple than expected. No much questioning at allll.
Airline: Egyptair
Time: 14:00 on 2nd of May 2022

I got to Airport at 9am to avoid crowd ahead of travel time. I was the second person attended to for boarding pass.
Baggage: 29kg and 30km
Hand luggage: 12kg

I had lot of loads that I couldn't afford to drop some as I did some cargo ahead self for my fiancée in Toronto, That's why I had lots still. So I did bargain with the personnel who did calculation and said I will pay 75USD for extra to upgraded baggage of 32kg. I used Naija way reduce ham to 50USD as I hid some other baggage earlier sef. It was more. So we sha added all of them to the bags since I've paid. Lot of milk, fish and food items.
Document requested: ArriveCan, Vaccination card, Passport then Got my boarding pass.

I waited with my family for pictures till 12noon before moving in.
Advice, Avoid crowdy entry. A friend here told me to go through Gate E which I did. Very simple. Immigration passed me quickly without much questioning. The man was gisting with me sef giving me the right pronunciation of Toronto that I will blend soon. He checked the Acceptance letter and stamped me.

Money declaration man, He got interested in me that I paid full tuition fee (Big Boy) then We started family gist ooo when I said I am not a big boi. That it is Owo omo oni iru, omo alata, lol. At some point I was avoiding his gist but He was loving it, discussing with a young man about Life. He eventually said Good luck out there, Off you go.

Peace... Got to airline session, the lady there started gist too, then I kept thinking which soap did I use sef that They want to be making friends and not even doing usual Bambiala, Lol... She said Go in peace too.
We left Lagos Exactly 2pm.
Meals and movie on egyptair was great, I ate all. Arrived Egypt at 8:30pm and waited for our 5 hours stopover.
Left exactly 1:30am as they asked same document; Passport, ArriveCan, and Vaccination card.

Ate 3 meals before morning, They have amazing movies. All great. I made an Egypt-Canadian friend on the plane (Husband and Wife) They were awesome. watched same movies, Ate same meal as they were so cool.

Arrived Canada 1:48pm Nigerian time (8:48am Canadian time).
Note: Kindly fill your declaration form online before leaving Nigeria to save you stress. Went to self-declaration machine to scan my passport and I got my ticket once under 20secs.

First level asked me for passport and declaration ticket then Proceeded to another for first time arrival permits. Devil wanted to work small but God gat it under control. We were asked for letter of Introduction; My hands was dried that I needed spit to sort my document (Nigerian way) then this woman just shouted at me: SO RUDE, I DON'T NEED YOUR PAPERS...
I was like Alaye calm down na, I needed to separate my papers na, I had to bring out my hand sanitizer to satisfy her, Yet she said She told me she's not interested in my papers that I should bring just my passport then she went to print it herself, Alakoba.
Avoid using spit on paper sorting.

I was shaking that I didn't even know when I gave her my passport, I think she picked it herself cuz she told me to sit. Then I was looking for passport that Village people don come o.

When I was called, and I saw my passport with the person, then I felt more relaxed.
No much question asked. He just asked me for which school and course then He gave me my study permit and work permit.

Bless God.
Fiancée came to pick me. Drove me home then I realize I didn't waste money. This land is beautiful sha.
I drove later in the evening to get some stuffs like a road learner. Forget your Jason Statham skills in Nigeria, When you reach here, You gatz learn, Lol. So organized.

I wish everyone awaiting PPR all the best. Success !!!
See attached some photos...

Joanosas2950:
Please Gurus in the house, how long does it take to get ppr after eligibility review starts. Mine started on April 29. IRCC is really messing with my mental health, for the past 1 month na depression i just dey. Cant focus on anything.

Your application appears to just be about a month old. Why are you stressing? It's still very much within standard processing time. Better take your mind off it for now. E never even reach to dey stress right now.

mrprolifik:
The letter of acceptance usually comes together with the admission letter. Check your email for an attachment . There should be an attachment in the mail sent to you confirming your admission into the college.

That's not how Centennial College works. They send you a deposit letter first informing you of the admission and ask you to pay the tuition deposit at a given deadline. The official Letter of Acceptance is then sent after confirmation of the deposit.

Iamgrac:
Good day everyone,

As at last week I got an admission from centennial college, of which I was required to make a deposit of 2650 dollars.
It's been a week since I paid the deposit, but up till now I haven't gotten my acceptance letter.
The last time I heard from them was when I was sent a confirmation message with a receipt that my payment has been confirmed.
I already mailed them multiple times but didn't get any reply, please what can I do.

Continue to mail them. Make sure you are mailing the correct region handling international students from Africa. That's africa@centennialcollege.ca.

cinammon:
Please which of the vfs offices is it more advisable to submit passport to in terms of turn around time?

Thanks

Where is your PPR timeline?

Ukinebo1:
Please I need your advice, i was given an offer letter to study aerospace technician but someone told me to ignore the offer, that my chances of get visa is small because of my age. I’m 36

A 53 year old man got his study visa on this thread. I got mine at 41. One guy got his visa at age 40 with a diploma program on the last thread. Don't listen to that person. Apply and hope for the best.

DestinationCann:
VFS Lagos appear to be notorious for not providing update. Track your return waybill to see if they have sent it back.

People say Lagos is slow and one should expect them to return between 5-10 working days.

Notorious is an understatement sef. The first week of VFS Lagos receiving the Passport can be almost complete silence. The action starts in the second week when they send it to VFS Abuja. Between VFS Abuja and IRCC, it's about two working days to and from movement for the Passport and then back to Lagos. Then another 3 to 4 days silence.

VeecThorr:
It went to VFX in Admiralty way in Lagos

You should have sent it to VFS Abuja since the resumption time is very close. Sending it to VFS Lagos could take anything between 10 to 15 working days to get it back.

amila20042001:
Nawa o, client information, all the necessary documents including marriage certificate change of name, newspaper publication,
kids birth certificates etc will definitely be more than 4mb even after compression.

It won't. Do it first.

amila20042001:
Someone should help us answer this question.
Thank you.

l

Only the forms are supposed to be uploaded where they are downloaded. Every of your personal documents like birth certificates et al should be under client information.

Osirawboy:
Hello house, i need a little help. How much does it cost to Reapply for Canada Study Permit Visa, i was rejected last June and wish to reapply now. My admission(course) starts in September Conestoga College

150 Cad. The word reapply is just nomenclature. You are submitting a new application every time you apply. So you pay the same visa fee you paid in your refused application but you won't pay biometric fee because your biometric is valid for 10 years.

Bro, read your second paragraph again and edit it correctly so they know what exactly you are really asking there.

Getting permanent residency is independent of whether you completed your studies via scholarship or you paid from your pocket.

Derekxxy:
Sir. Frankrobbn, Justmellow and other big men in the house;


Can one financial suppose easily through scholarship student loan;

and can one obtain parmanent resident after completion of Master degree program (2years) on scholarship

Donkunxex:
Got to Canada last Friday. Still trying to get used to the change. Sourcing for apartment in London,ON is another wahala lol. But yeah, the journey was hectic (Lagos - Frankfurt - Toronto - London ) but it was worth it. I hope everyone expecting PPR get theirs soon by the grace of God.

Landing gist?

amila20042001:
@centennialguy, can inspector ronke assist with police clearance for someone who is not based in Lagos? And how much is it pls, any idea?

Call and ask her. She should be able to do it. I paid 6k visiting her office physically.

1. 0703 061 1055 - Inspector Ronke

2. The two accounts are yours and you have all the proof of source of fund for the two accounts, you don't have to move funds. Submit the two accounts and use the total sum from the two accounts to explain how you intend to fund your study.

3. Wait o. You want to tell IRCC " Hey guys, I will be applying with my family but my hubby's passport is not ready. So imma need you guys to hold a spot for him. When his passport is ready, I will buzz you guys to let you know. Aiit?". Lol. Na joke o, no vex. But on a serious note, my opinion is, you have two options.

- Option A : Apply with your kid and without him since his passport is not ready. He serves as a home tie for you. He can then take all the available possible route to join you in Canada after you've gotten your Study Permit.

- Option B - Wait till he gets his passport before you submit your family application. I don't think you want this option.

Just my two cents. Await the gurus to offer better perspective.

Misstolaly:
Hi Guys,

I've been following this thread for a couple of weeks and am ready to start my study permit application for Fall 2022, heading to the University of New Brunswick. I have a couple of questions.

1. Can someone share a valid contact for Police Character Certificate / or redirect to the page where it was posted? I took too many screenshots that I'm having issues with locating the detail I saved for this?

2. Also, I'm a self-funded student - I have a full-term job with the salary being paid into a particular account while I consult as a freelance for companies, and all earnings from my side jobs go into another account, should I move all the funds into the account I can provide payslips for, or provide bank statements for my two accounts to avoid any issue of a lump sum? The earnings in my side account are very regular for almost a year now, and narration carries consulting/retainership/honorarium fees on different occasions.

3. We will travel as a family (hubby & a 4-year-old), but my husband's passport is still under processing (new laws concerning passport renewal and the capture date is still far off), it is advisable I state this in my LOE as we cannot open an application for him now because of the expired passport, and we don't want to delay further since September is almost here?

I need your advice please and also a link up with anyone headed to UNB.

amila20042001:
Please bro any idea on this

Spousal consent letter and land deed of assignment, do they have to be notarized?

Urgent reply please

My opinion is that the deed of assignment is already a legal document. I didn't notarize mine. And I also don't think you need to notarize the Spouse consent letter too. You could if you want but it isn't a necessity.

mrczar:
please i also sent you a mail, kindly check

Seen and replied

Iamgrac:
@centennialguy I just got offered an admission I don't have a portal.
Am I to open it?

Don't worry, it will come with your email for LOA. The LOA will come at the most in 3 business days after payment was made.

kinkyhead:
I have deferred o my brother. I cannot come and kill myself
Tension wan come kill person. Waiting to grab my ppr in the air
Thanks bro.
Pls i sent you email. I want to make enquiry and confirm mail school send me. No vex.

Yeah, just saw the email. Replied.

Iamgrac:
Good day everyone,

So I finally found someone in canda to help me with my centennial college deposit payment.
She already paid for me.
My question is what's the next step.
Do I email the school or what?.

Give them 3 business days for the money to reflect in your portal and they will send you your LOA.

Teemenzo:
Halysia, i am waiting here for you.

Architect, how far? Make this people answer you na. Na wa for iRCC o.

Halyshia:
Ppr o, after almost 9months, resumption is May 9th, can I still meet up?

Wow! Congrats. A whole 9 months! I greet you specially for this your patience.

kinkyhead:
My dear better to defer o. And pls check there should be deadline to defer for your school. Me i had to defer mine to september. They just sent mine new offer letter. It will be impossible to meet up with all the procedures and then talk of ticket fare. I dont like pressure abeg. Once you get ppr you jejely prepare smoothly

Oh, Kinkyhead, you have deferred? Good one. Reduces the tension and allows you prepare better when your PPR lands. Rooting for you for your PPR

DestinationCann:
May God bless all our efforts with success.
I sent to Lagos not Abuja though. Is it still 4-5 working days?

Lagos is 10 working days at the least.

DestinationCann:
Thanks, that's the fee.
DHL charged #16,800 for 2 way courier.

This jaapa thing is not for the financially weak oo.

Yeah, it isn't. The upside is you get your passport back within 4 to 5 working days.
