Fgahandel:
Good morning colleagues.
I am so new here. A friend referred me to this nairaland traveling page.
I have been reading messages fir few days now and getting some tips.
Though I plan to write my IELTS exam soon for study permit.
I need a lot of direction on where to start first . Should I write my IELTS exam first or are there courses I could do in Canada without IELTS? Then what next ?
I am a novice here, but I am determined to this course , because I know with the right information, commitment, direction from colleagues here and with God, I will make it to Canada.
Please and please I need your help
Thanks.

ultrazone:
Congratulations bro. In your SOP, how did you explain the fact that you already had an MSc and still applied to a PGC program?
I need insights. Thanks.

Scott99tish:
I sent on Friday. VFS got it that day and acknowledged via mail.
VFS sent to IRCC on Monday.
IRCC acknowledged same day. Stamped and sent it back VFS on Tuesday.
VFS gave DHL Wednesday and it arrived Lagos same Wednesday.
They dispatched to me today being Thursday.

I didn’t do much of tracking cuz they bombarded with progress update via mail…
Ensure you have your e-mail boldly written on your envelop.

Thank you!

Ojb555666:
good morning Bro, please how do I know if a program qualifies for a PGWP Sir?

Samxx:
I've noticed that most people don't respond anymore on here once they are past that stage or if the questions has nothing to do with them or their current stage , But you guys should remember you were once at that stage too .
That being said anyone who needs an application waiver code for Seneca College should let me know , it expires April 25th so get back to me on time before it expires.

Hi guys! Guess who's in Canada!!

LANDING GIST!!!! BRACE YOURSELF

So my trip was Lagos - Vancouver via Ethiopian Airline by 1:40pm wasn't a smooth one, but I thank God..

Arrived the airport very early, but the queue at the airport no be here! Airport was crowded, scattered, nothing was orderly at the Airport. After waiting for almost 1hour on the queue, one devilish immigration officer eventually told me to join a wrong line, and I lost my spot, and had to go back to the queue again! I almost comot my boxer swear for this guy!

He just kept apologising, that's what calmed me down sha.
Got to Ethiopian Airline/Naija Immigration checks, was sha asked for my Passport, Acceptance Letter, Arrive Can, Vaccination Card, Covid-19 TEST PCR (which I eventually did, cause I just didn't want any issue and problems.) they told a Chinese lady there to go get a Covid-19 Test and I'm sure she missed the flight, and that was all.

Going through checks to board my flight, begging and taxing everywhere at Naija Immigration, I no give anyone 10kobo, cause no be their papa gimme money I use apply for Visa or pay any of my expenses, my check-in bags were searched and unfortunately, those wicked Naija Immigration seized my body lotion, body and anti persperants deodorants was 3, like 5 hair cream, everything seized was worth almost 15K. (I eventually found out, I wasn't meant to check in those kinda stuffs) Guys please learn from me. Don't check in with those sorta stuffs, they should be included inside your boxes. Begged and begged this woman, she no gree, gave me the option of taking it back to my fam outside, family wey don begin dey go house, or trashing it there( which kine mumu trash? Na them go use am, BASTARDDDSSS) I eventually found out na money she dey find, but unfortunately, I didn't have cash with me. Gave out all my naira. Dem no born me well give am $100 notes cause na only wetin I carry be that.

Eventually I was the 2nd to the last person to board on the plane. Almost missed the flight. Was running like a FOOL! Immediately I boarded, wasn't up to 8mins, we took off . ENROUTE >>>>>>>ADDIS ABABA (5hours 20mins)

Food was terrible, met Nigerians that were leaving the country. Addis Ababa Airport is really beautiful, see difference between Naija Airport and Ethiopian Airport nau. Everything orderly and arranged.
Didn't stay at the Airport for up to 40mins. Got into my next flight to Toronto, longest journey of my life (16hours 20mins)!

Guys my ass became numb! Thank God it was a night flight, I just kept sleeping and watching movies on my phone. Couldn't watch their movies cause the earphone they gave me was trashy. Almost couldn't hear anything with it. With the whole noise from the aircraft. Though they had good collections of movies.

Fast forward >>>>> We landed Toronto Airport, the airport is a beauty! Jesus! Beauty at it's peak. Everything was too organised. I kept asking God who did this to Naija? Cause it's just not fair! Was going with the crowd, omo guys follow who know Road, and keep asking questions. Everybody in Canada is always happy to help in anyway they can.

I went straight to the Immigration Officers, I was fortunate, I didn't spend up to 15mins on the queue before it got filled up and crowded.

There was this stand where one Immigration Officer was loud and asking this Naija guy plenty of questions! In my mind I was like, God please don't let me go to this same guy! Pleaseeeeeee! Naso e reach my turn for Immigration, ghen ghen! Na that same man them post me go! Quickly told my siblings on WhatsApp to pray for me to pass this Immigration checks, they told me only my mama prayers should sort that out for me. And,

Guys guess what? This Man asked me for just my PASSPORT!!! That was all! And asked me how long I'd be studying and who my sponsor was, and where my school is. I didn't spend up to 45 seconds with him. And he printed my permit. Like I was like really? How? Covid-19 Test? Introduction Letter? Acceptance Letter? Proof of Fund? ArriveCan? Tuition Receipts? Vaccination Card? Everything wey i print out? Baba ask me something at least nah... Nothing! Only my Passport! Is God not wonderful? Loll.. He is for sure!

Proceeded to my next flight to Vancouver (Air Canada) The queue was terribly long. Was on queue for almost 50mins. After checks, I begin run again, normal level. I was like the second to the last person to board. Immediately, we left. Another 5hours flight! God I was tired of flying! � This journey ain't for the weak. I angrily forced myself to sleep. And kept seeing the series on my phone.

Finally, we arrived Vancouver! But unfortunately, my bags weren't complete. My bags were missing, they tracked it, and saw its still at Toronto, it didn't come in with the flight. Air Canada fall my hands for that one. Was disappointed. My apartment to the Airport is almost an hour drive. They offered to deliver it to me anyway, make i still dey observe them.

Guys I stepped out of the Airport in Vancouver, and the COLD that hit me, blood of Jesus Christ! I never believed it! It was just 12° ohh!! And to think Vancouver has the best weather in Canada? Haaaaa!

Na why people full here and it's extremely expensive. Guys make person no lie give you, Canada is extremely COLD!!!!!!
Thank God for my cousin who came to pick me up at the Airport.

It's 5:55am as I type this, and we're on 4°c, so prepare yourself please, and come with your winter jacket socks, head warmer and hand gloves, yes even if our own for Naija na rubbish, carry am come like that, e dey useful! Thanks to my sister and a friend in Vancouver that forced me to buy it.

So in a nutshell, I thank God for a safe trip into Canada. When I sit and reminisce on it, omo! This Canada isn't for the weak! I thank God for this platform (Nairaland), y'all are a blessing, also met good people that have turned friends through Nairaland.! A bigger chunk of thanks goes to my FAMILY. Without them, I wouldn't be here. Mehn, y'all are the real MVP!

The whole journey wouldn't have started at the first place.
Those delayed, please don't relent, please, it's definitely gonna be worth it in the end, those waiting for an update on their app, please keep praying and keep being optimistic, God would definitely perfect your application.

Guys story don finish, make i go back to sleep. I had to do this, make una no think say I don run, which I can't.

It has ended in praise for me. I hope it does same to each and everyone here.

Thank you.

Teekay20:
Good evening everyone, please I am still waiting on God and IRCC for my PPR. My school resumes on the 11th of May but I believe PPR go drop before then. Is it true that if I am not vaccinated I won't be allow to travel? What if I go for the first shot, will that count?

dbeautyful:
Congrats @Yankdreamer
I thought Upfront Medical means you did it before you submitted your medicals.
Could you please clarify why it has a later date than your application date.

Creativeowos:
Smile. Am not understanding o, how come you were able to do medicals without being vaccinated because i remember they do ask and those who aren't vaccinated would be vaccinated immediately . If you're not vaccinated then you are not leaving this country, even at the airport you would be asked if not you won't be allowed to travel. You dey fear vaccine ni���

dbeautyful:
Good evening,

Please how long before I submit my visa application can I do my medicals

GentleBobo:
Good afternoon guys,
My eligibility just start o.
Is it a good sign and what are my chances of approval?

Best256:
Yes and I didn't include the destination when I mailed them which they included.

Belle110:
Guys abeg,

what does this mean under Review of eligibility:

We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

Best256:
Good evening everyone.

I messaged IOM which they replied and I saw it my spam mail. I applied via email sending my biodata page and other documents for medical booking with my preferred date and they replied me giving me that preferred date I chose, pls guys how through is it?

Gift212:
IT'S PPRRRRRRRRRRRRR
What a way to start the month. December 3rd applicant, new portal.
I'm coming back surely to drop my full details!

OkukuOne:
1. Thanks for this, but my friend did when he went via Express Entry in Port Harcourt. will find out more on this.

Did you open the link below to search for CIC panel physicians in Nigeria? You might be working on an assumption of what your friend did

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx

2.so the upfront medical does not expire?

All medicals are valid for one year


3. see attached Evidence of School Payment Platform

What you attached still look like something you will need a form A for

4. As part of the document req'd for her Student Permit

Again, transcript or even your WES evaluation for that matter is not an absolute necessity for study permit application. You can submit it if you want but it will probably be more useful if she took courses back in school that explains why she's going for the PSW course she's going for in Canada

5. if Gift deed is better, someone should be kind to share existing format to tailor ours.

I know Buchito used Gift deed but his flight is probably airborne right now. If no one responds to you on this, you can probably mention him and hopefully he sees it when he is settled

5a. Planning on paying only for only one-semester. Are you of the opinion I make full payment to increase her chances? that will decrease my dorm account balance. which is preferable, paying half and having more POF of USD9,900 + 2.5m or paying full and having less POF of USD6,200 + N2,5m is better?

Paying full tuition is a good thing but it doesn't give any guarantee of an approval. The impression of the VO concerning your total application package is what sways the outcome one way or the other. So I won't say one or the other is better. Both works as long as you do a breakdown and proper explanation in your SOP/LOE

Teemenzo:
One cent or 100usd. This your response resemble one cent?

OkukuOne:
Makano, thanks for your response.

I will appreciate if the likes of Frankrobbn1, makano, scott99tish, Tobe1997, @ketima, CentennialGuy, @Anon123, @Teemenzo and others to give me directives.

I actually went back to read as advised. I have the below questions to ask and I will be glad the gurus in the house guide me and my wife to apply;

1. Do anyone know of any Canada accredited Medical hospital/Laboratory that My wife can do her medicals? We prefer Port Harcourt, Benin and Warri. Please, kindly share details on this.

2. when is it appropriate to do the Upfront medicals? She has gotten admission. waiting for Int'l Passport. should we do the upfront medical 2 days to her application submission?

3. I see a lot of people talking about payment of tuition, acceptance, and application fees via ATM (Master/Verve) Cards. If one has a dorm account, can't the tuition and acceptance fees be wired straight from my account to the school account? The school provided such platform as well.

4. in place of her transcript from her school, can she use WES Evaluation since that has already been evaluated in Canada. I think that should suffice.

5. I am her husband and the sponsor. My work carries me outside the country and i am paid in dollars. However, since the plan began, i decided not to touch spend money from my dorm account again (though is small) so that we can build it up since she will be needing it as part of her documents.

One of my friends advise that we do a fixed deposit for her to the tune of 4m (10,00CAD) which we stand as living expenses. The reason for this is that, in her SOP, I promise to be sending her (1000USD) monthly, however, peravendure I default and I couldn't meet up, she can go ahead and use the money in the fixed deposit already in her name for her leaving expenses. Or should i do a gift deed or what is the best approach on this? if gift deed is there any sample within i can lash on?

5a. Her program is a one year program. her tuition is about 9,500CAD. I will pay one semester in full + already 500CAD paid already for acceptance. Money i will be having in my account after paying her school fees and gifting her 4m (10,000CAD) will be roughly about 10,000USD and N2,500,000. what is your thought on this?

6. my wife is also a baker but studied Accounting in Education. The admission she got is in Personal Support Acute-Worker in NBCC. In trying to marry all of this together, we are trying to get supporting document from Old people's home that she is a volunteer in there. Her account is not doing so well. her account should between 300k to 500k when we will be applying for her Study Permit. Or what do you think is the best way to marry her B.Sc, her business to the admission gottten in a different field that will not raise suspicion?

Big thanks, in anticipation to your responses.

we all go succeed in Jesus name. Amen

tonnymexx:
Good morning everyone,

Please which among college can you advice me to apply for.
Centennial college
Seneca college
Conestoga college
Cambrian college etc

buchito1:
Congratulations on your PPR again dawg!

1- All Airlines are good. The plan is to get to your destination safe, ain't it? Who better airline epp?

2- I think Ethiopian Airline is one of the cheapest airlines ever, travelling to Canada. So check them out. And book directly from their website

3- Carry loads kwa? This one no be Peace Mass Transit oh! Or Izuchukwu or Young Shall Grow. You're eligible to 23kg Max for two bags, with 7kg thereabouts for check-in bags. If you have extra luggage, you'd pay extra for it. About $200 last I checked (though I know say money no be your problem, since them dey plan for you already ) .

I'm a nutshell, plan well, go with the most important things you've got! Goodluck man.

BTW, my flight's for tomorrow! Someone wish me a Safe Trip bikonu?
