You’re allowed to check in two bags. 23kg each. And one carry-on luggage of 7kg.

evergold:
Those that flew on Ethiopia recently, how many bags did you check-in? Did you have a carry-on bag too in Economy?

Any phone that supports 4G network should work.

Godsblessings:
hello house , pls which phone work well in Canada? can itel work there ? if no , which brand of phone will work in Canada?

Hello Francisgodstime,


You can go to many European countries. Example Romania, Serbia, Estonia, Lithuania. But getting a permanent stay in most of them takes a long long time except if you go the marriage route. Jobs are also not easy to find (language barrier and not many jobs are available especially to foreigners) and the salary is generally not high. So you need to think about it before traveling.

francisgodstime:
pls which country can I travel with 1million to 2million

Are you sure you need a test? What airline are you flying with?

UBCcookies:
Thank you. I am in a confused state now

Hello tellalexander,

You’re on the wrong thread. This thread is for Canada study permit/visa.


Yes, you can pay using what is called Form A. Visit your bank branch with your university details, they’ll do it for you. You would need the following:

Requirement for Foreign School Fees payment

-Applicant must be account holder of the bank he/she is requesting from
-School admission letter must be provided.
-Bank details of Institution or school to be provided.
-Account must be funded to cover Naira equivalent of requested amount.
-Authority to debit. A written instruction to the bank to debit your account.
-Duly completed Form A application form
-Applicant must possess valid Nigerian International Passport or Foreign passport with Nigeria as place of birth. A copy of the biodata page of the passport to be submitted for processing of the request.
-Applicant must possess Valid Visa


Before covid, it used to take about a week for the school to get tuition. Now it will take longer, especially with the Dollar scarcity. It can take 3 weeks or more. If you are specific about what country the Uni is in, that would be good.


If you’re going for a first degree and you submitted only WAEC to the university that gave you the admission, I don’t see why they’ll need any documents from your current Uni. If you can share what country it is, I might be able to help better. You can send me a private message so we can chat via email if you would like more help.

tellalexander:
Hello, I will like to ask if I can use a Nigerian bank account to pay tuition fees to an European university account. and if yes, how long will it take for it to drop at the European University account?

Secondly, I want to explain my situation, I applied to a university abroad and got admission, i am currently in a university in Nigeria, but haven’t completed, So i want to start afresh abroad..I only submitted my WAEC result to the university and they accepted me..I would be applying for a visa soon, so i will like to know if I will need to submit any document of my current university study, or i should submit only my WAEC result?

A REPLY WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BECAUSE THIS IS AN URGENT CIRCUMSTANCE.


Thank you.




Thank you.

Hello UBCcookies,

I think there’s only 1 lab in delta with covid testing (delta mobile laboratory associated with Irrua specialist) it’s a government one so I don’t know if they do tests privately or just for suspected cases. If you know anyone, you can ask them.

Alternatively, if your flight is from Lagos, Abuja or the likes, you can travel earlier and get the test done. There are many private labs.

Best wishes

UBCcookies:
Please how do I get this covid test? I'm in Delta and I am having difficulty locating an accredited center. My travel is on 30th biko.

Hello ayobami2001,

You are not allowed to quarantine in a shared living space. An Airbnb which accommodates 1 person only might accept you. Contact the host and tell them it’s for self isolation before you proceed to book.

Best wishes

Ayobami2001:
All my reservations via airbnb are being declined by the hosts cos they don’t want a international traveler that will quarantine in their shared living space.

Hello oyinlove15

I gave the info below to help those who want to do upfront medical (medical before it’s requested by IRCC) A passed upfront medical never guarantees an approval. People just do it to save time.

oyinlove15:
Hello
Please have they responded to your enquiry

Seems IRCC won't be requesting for medicals because of this nse method and a medical passed now doesn't guarantee approval on study permit.

Hello adeniyi,

It depends on the individual. If the person has work experience already (3 years or more) and a good Ielts score, and just needs a Canadian degree to boost their score to get to the cut off, then 1 year is enough.

Use the CRS score tool online to simulate your score and see what you need to get to the cut off. That will determine how much time you need post graduation.


Best wishes

adeniyi3971:
Wait o! Is a one year PGWP after PGD or PGC enough you move forward to PR in Canada!



I’m just curious!

Hello Ibrahim,

It’s not possible to edit an already submitted application. Any changes to your application has to be sent to IRCC via webform and/or email.

ibrahim:
is it possible to edit a submitted application like the SOP?

Hello Jidex,

Money that’s available in your account is preferred to fixed deposit. You can break it and transfer it to your account. Attach the fixed deposit certificate and proof of the transfer and highlight it in your application.

Best wishes

Jideks:
Please seniors in the house, can I submit a fixed deposit certificate from the bank as proof of POF?
My program is a research based masters and I have funding which covers my tuition. I just need to show proof for living expenses.

Hello OlanikeOba,

Yes, you can.

OlanikeOba:
Wow. Really? Thanks for the response.

Can I use pounds domiciliary account for proof of funds?

Hello Dameelee,

If you would be sharing any common space, for example kitchen, bathroom or living room, then it is considered group living. See the picture below from their website. You can check their website out to see the rules for apartments during isolation.

Best wishes

Dameelee:
Please I’m filling my arriveCan form and I don’t know what this part means,
I’ll be staying at a 3 bedroom Airbnb with other people most likely, that means it’s a group living environment right?

Hello fixoo,

Welcome, you’re in the right place at the right time. You can choose to do your visa application yourself. Everything information you need is available on this thread. You just have to dedicate time to reading and assimilating it. While reading, if you have any questions, you can ask on the thread and you will get answers.

At the bottom of this page, you’ll see numbers, if you click on page 1, it takes you to the first page of this thread. The list of documents you need and the right place to upload them are stated there, you can also read through the whole thread to learn from people's experiences and also see answers to questions asked by others.

In summary, below are the requirements for a study permit/visa.
Valid International passport

Digital passport photograph (according to the specification given)

Letter of acceptance (admission letter)

Medical examination (if required, depends on what country you are in)

Biometrics - finger print and photo capturing (you will get an email about 24 hours after your application, asking you to go for it)

Home ties - things that can compel you to return back to your country after studies (you need to show them you will return even if you don’t plan to) example landed properties, stable job, business documents

Proof of funds- bank statement with adequate money, and proving the source of the income. For example if you are employed you should include payslips, letter of employment etc. If you are an entrepreneur, you should include your business registration documents, tax clearance certificate and the likes. Or that of your sponsor if you’re using a sponsor. Sponsorship letter from sponsor too if you’re using a sponsor.

Client information a.k.a Other documents: any other thing you feel might increase your chances of getting the document. Previous awards, statement of purpose/letter of explanation, pension statement if you have, transcripts, degree certificate etc Home tie related documents are also uploaded under client information.

Your statement of purpose/letter of explanation is an official letter you write to the visa officer, you’re basically selling yourself, telling them why you want to study in Canada and why you’re a good match for it. More info about it can be found on page 1.

Greetings
Am New to this Page, I live and work in the United States and I just got an Admission to Study in Canada, trying to apply for the Visa, I contacted some lawyers over here in the United States but they said they only handle United States immigration, I wanna do this visa application on my own, can some please put me through on what and what to do??

Hello oluwatosin12345,

Diploma is a NO as it won’t show any academic progression. They need to go for something higher than a BSc.

If the person has a 2.2 or 3rd class BSc, Post graduate diploma or post graduate certificate is the way

If the person has a first class, 2.1, or first class/2.1 average in the last 2 years of their BSc they can go for an MSc.

Best wishes

oluwatosin12345:
what will be the best option base on visa processing for some one with 10years of BSC that wants to go for study route :
option 1. >>MSC ,
option 2. >>Post graduate diploma
option 3. >>diploma course

Hello Semisolasola,

You can renew your passport before applying. Abuja headquarters can renew your passport even if you have 6 months or more left on it. You just have to write a letter stating why you want to renew before time with evidence (eg admission letter).

Hello Celoexpress,

It is not too late. You can send it via webform with a short explanation.

Best wishes

Celoexpress:
Good morning Mr Frank.

Please I will appreciate if Mr Frank or any other person that can assist helps with this.

I applied first week in October and did my upfront medicals. This has been updated to pass on my dashboard although I did not get the NSE request till date.

The issue is I did not initially include my sponsor's payslip or employment letter when i submitted my application because he was not in the Country. I only submitted a letter from him on the company letterhead, his statement of account and his Company ID. Is it too late to send the employment letter or pay slip and if I can still do that, can i upload them via my GC key dashboard where it says upload documents or should I upload it via Kenya IRCC webform.

Will really appreciate an advise from the gurus in the house please. It is very urgent.

Hello Jjessicachizoba,

Don’t start your application on a bad note. If they find out you lied, you’re looking at a 5 year ban.

Also note that if you decide to conceal your Bsc and apply for another Bsc you have to explain what you have been doing since you finished secondary school with proof! You said you have a 2.1, you have a great shot at a Master’s. And PR (permanent residence) after the master’s. Take your time and read this thread from the beginning, it has everything you need for a successful master’s and even visa application. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask on the group. The “Easy way” is not always the best way. Be wary of agents, not all of them know what they’re doing.

All the best

Jjessicachizoba:
Hi, please I’m new here and I would be grateful for any information I can get.
I am applying to the university of Manitoba for a Bsc program.
My question is:
I am a Bsc holder and I have been advised to apply for a Bsc as that is an easier route. So I have to state I haven’t done a Bsc in my application, is that a wise decision?
My next question would be dependent on the response I get from this first question.
Thank you.

Hello ehiremen2002,

Sorry to hear about your refusal. From your notes, I can see two major problems

1. The additional support of the uncle comes with no support for his income and obligations and it appears any support provided by him will be a major hit to his savings

2. The family income and savings are low and appear to fully exhausted to meet the first year of tuition


For point number 1
What documents did you submit? From this notes, you might not have adequately shown your sponsor’s source of income. Did you submit payslips? Letter of introduction from employer? Business documents, tax clearance certificate of your sponsor?

You need to adequately show your sponsor’s source of income. Also they talked about his obligations, he needs to state his dependents (children) and show that the money he has can take care of them and you as well with proof. They expect an elderly person to also have his own family responsibilities.
I’ll advice your sponsor to increase his bank balance It is quite low

Your sponsor can show commitment to the cause by paying your tuition and also transferring some money to you (for example the 10k cad living expense) and this should be stated in your application

As for point number 2
Paying full or part tuition will help a lot (please confirm the refund policy of the institution before paying)
Another alternative is looking for a school with less tuition

I noticed you have some fixed deposit, it is advisable to break it and transfer it to your account, attach the certificate and proof of transfer to show the source of the money. Available cash is preferred to fixed deposit.

For travel history, if you work on all the above, you can write in your SOP that you have had no reason to travel previously until now and that should not be used against you.

I wish you all the best with your next application.

ehiremen2002:
I am wondering what else they want. I share the finance session of my SOP and please need help to compare this with result from IRCC complaining of Finance

Hello JORDAN55,
See picture below. Plus the enrollment letter everyone has been talking about.

please can anyone help with the first question please
Thank you

Hello Olasubomy,

Your surest answer would be from the airline. Call them or send them an email with your route (departure country, destination country and any transit country) and ask if you require a test.

I found the following email addresses, you can search for more.

ekuae@emirates.com
emirates-on-line@emirates.com
ekuk@emirates.com

Best wishes

olasubomy:
Good evening, please who has travelled with Emirates or have an idea if there is any need to present COVID test result for Emirates Airline?

Hello Pseermuhel,

If I were you, I would print this email conversation with my Uni and have it handy with my letter of acceptance (admission letter). I used Ethiopian airline and I wasn’t asked for enrollment letter. Although, I know it could be different for different people. If your school already said you can’t get one, then there’s not much you can do.

Best wishes

Pseermuhel:
Still on the Ethiopian airline stuff. Is there a need for Enrollment Letter becuase I don't have that yet. My school said I have to resume before I can register and get it.

Please I need help on this.

Thank you.

COVID-19 test is not required. You only need your ArriveCAN receipt. The receipt you get after submitting your details via the ArriveCAN app/website.

Best wishes

Pseermuhel:
Hi guys, I want to know if Ethiopian Airline requires Covid19 test certificate.

Please this is urgent, I have someone that needs this info.

Thank you.

Hello,

Send the airline an email stating your travel route (departure country, destination country and any transit country) and ask them if you require a test. You can use google to find their email address or check your flight ticket.

ericksen:

No, it is not required

Guys pls I'm traveling using KLM next weekend, is yellow card vaccine required? Pls

Hello,

I don’t think anyone can accurately predict your chances.

If you believe you can convince the VO why pgcert is the way to go, you can go ahead. I don’t know anything about the college.

Hopefully someone in the house can offer a more useful advice. @frankrobbn1 @justmellow @lekkiboboe and others

I want to apply for a PG. cert in Exercise science for health and performance at Niagara college, which is a one year program.I have 2.1 in related discipline.

I would have opted for a Msc but it has been difficult getting a supervisor, however I am working on relevant reasons for opting for a PG. cert instead of a Masters

I want to kindly ask what you think my chances are if I write a good SOP with a good POF , I must include that

I have denied student F1 visa twice in 2017.

What do you think about the Niagara college also?
Thank you

Generally, Airbnb would be more expensive if used for long term accommodation. You can confirm by checking the monthly rental average in the city and comparing it to 30days fees for Airbnb.

Best wishes

Godsblessings:
ok thanks, is it advisable/cheaper to check outside the school accommodation (hostel) in Airbnb or is it good for only the isolation?

Up to 30 days is considered current.

Babyboy2020:
Pls what if someone submit a statement of account 2 months after collecting from the bank ...hope it doesn’t have any negative effect?

Send the airline an email with your travel route(departure country, destination country and any transit) and ask if a test is required.
