Thanks alot. Please like how much would it cost me to order for gcms notes and I hope i can pay in naira because i want to order it myself.

Chocs:
Sorry to hear about your refusal. Looks like the application was not well put together. You can order your gcms notes via 3rd party sites(you don’t have to be in Canada, be a PR or citizen). Just type ‘order GCMS notes’ into google and it will give you many options to choose from. You can share the documents you submitted for the application to receive some advice before you GCMS note arrives.

Cheers

I got denied after waiting for six months, this is really frustrating, first time applicant. Although i had previously applied for u.s but was also denied. Please how can i order for my gcms notes to know the main concern of the v.o. I tried checking online though, what am seeing is that i must be a Canadian citizen or a resident in Canada for me to apply or a resident can apply on my behalf. Play the gurus in the house should assist, @makano i sent you a mail please respond. Any suggestions from anybody would be highly appreciated

CharitoJames:
Father Lord, we commit today into your hands.. Bless us and give us that which we have been believing you for. Delay, denial and re-application is not our portion. Have Mercy on us and give us the Grace to find Favor in the eyes of the V.O handling our application. Fill them with the Holy Spirit so they won’t handle any of our applications in anger. Bless us and bless them too... In this new day, we speak divine speed into our applications. Go before us and do that which you are known for because you are not a God of delay or disappointment. We claim every of today’s blessings and we also pray that when our PPR comes, money will not be the issue, when our PPR comes, our healths won’t fail us in Jesus Name! Amen.
Congratulations in advance to all the hopefuls

Amen ijn

LOI
LOA
enrollment letter
airbnb book receipt
PPR letter
BVL
ArriveCan
printed bankstatement
tuition deposit receipt
PCR test result
i had all the docs i used for visa in one clear bag in case they asked
departure time Thursday 28th 19:50, got to Abuja airport by 3:50pm with a friend they refused to allow him enter me i came with small naira so i start there to drop 1k at each point na so them they waive me through till i got to Qatar airways checkin counter, had to do some luggage balancing because one of my bags was over weight, after that i went to check in, they told me that the flight was over booked so i can not change seats, first mistake i forgot to wrap my two Ghana must go bags and even left my other luggage unlocked.
went to the checkin area and started chilling with my friend for about 2 hrs before i said my good byes and proceeded to passport control, they asked me if i wanted to declare cash i said No dashed them 1k moved to where my stamp was to be stamped the guy was telling me that canada was his dream country i told him his job was my dream job lol, dashed him 1k, moved to where my hand luggage were to be searched and then proceeded to the waiting area, had a very delicious jollof rice and turkey call it my last supper, and now the waiting started. it turned out that Qatar airways canceled its flight on Tuesday and will be accommodating those passengers on our flight.
A lot of Muslim faithfuls heading to the holy land via Doha were on our flight like half of the entire passengers, now this is where the issue started most of these ppl could not understand a single word in English, this made boarding so slow that other passengers started complaining, i was so surprised because a lot of them were looking so unkempt, had those black nylon as carry on baggage with slippers. well i don't know anything about pilgrimage so i said maybe these ppl saved up all their earnings just to go on this trip.
By 8pm we were still boarding for a flight that should have taken off 10mins before, then some airline staff wanted to give priority boarding to some Arabs one guy carry am for head say the queue must be respected lol.
we left abuja 2hrs late, inside plane another language wahala started. but we got to Doha around 6am instead of 4am so my connecting flight to montreal was already boarding no time went into the airport toilets brushed my teeth washed my face put on some perfume then proceeded for boarding, i was searched properly here including my hand luggage.
this flight was on time and everything went on in a orderly manner, i also got a better seat this time and this nice girl from Malaysia was seating next to me, we had some nice conversations, this was indeed the longest flight in my life.
it became very cold 3hrs into the flight, i walked around alot and the cabin crew were so nice met alot of students heading one place or the order this flight was populated by Paks, sri lanka, indians etc met one 9ja boy too. i nearly froze in that flight i had to walking up and down.
We got to Montreal after 13hrs by 3pm their time. went straight to self declaration, scanned my passport and took my photo, then unto immigration where i was asked how long was my study i said 3 lol then declared my 8k$. was directed to immigration 2 were the queue was much and only one CBSA agent was attending others went for break or something after 2 hrs wait it got to my turn my introduction letter was scanned and they asked me for my declaration receipts, then i sat back down, 10mins later they called my name and gave me my permit, i was carrying plenty photocopies of docs but they did not ask me of anything else so i checked my details thoroughly on my new studypermit, then proceeded to baggage claim located my luggage although they were not locked but nothing was stolen. i downloaded the uber app added my UBA dollar card as mode of payment it was a 30mins drive from the airport to my airbnb.
got there and found out there was no lift omo i carried 2 x 32kgs bags plus my 23kg and 8kg hand luggage up 2 floors. no be small thing.
at abuja airport they asked for my enrollment letter, covid vaccine card, admission letter, passport and arriveCan and please note that if you are vaccinated you no longer need to carry out a Covid test, even at abuja they told me so and no one asked for it here in Canada.

congratulations once again, may the land of Canada favor you and may all awaiting ppr's rejoice soon. Please what do you mean by you didn't remember to wrap your Ghana-must-go bags. Wrap as how

Hello all,

At last I got my PPR today after 5 months and 3 weeks , almost 6 months and 26 days after bvl�������������� The waiting was excruciating.

Special thanks to the rear gem on this platform @makano. He is truly competent in visa processing. I almost gave up but he gave me some advices yesterday on how to mail IRCC which I followed through and my PPR came within 24 hrs����� �

Infact my application was part of those he posted yesterday with bvl and no PPR for 26 days.

Biometrics: 12th Nov,2021

God bless everyone here taking their time to share their timelines. I would be an ingrate not to share mine.

For all other waiting, it shall all end in praise �����

Congratulations

[quote author=Raeinn post=111943369]Landing Gist Guys!

Hi everyone, good afternoon and I’m sorry I’m just posting this now, since i got here on Monday. Been trying to get myself together.

So I booked my flight with Qatar Airways and i had a connecting flight at Qatar with AirCanada to Toronto. My flight was for by 7. 50pm (Abuja to Doha (Qatar) on the 10th of this month. I got to the airport by 3.14pm, i had checked in online and selected a seat already. As soon as i got to the airport, i paid #500 for trolley. At the entrance a guy was there and he asked for my proof of vaccination which I showed him and he scanned it to verify, he allowed me pass. I dropped my stuff on the security slide stuff and the computer showed i had something liquid in my ghana must go bag, they assumed it was palm oil and started searching the bag and it was only shampoo so they let me pass. I used the lift to go upstairs where you’ll find different desks representing different airlines. I went to Qatar Airways and My boxes and bags where overweight. My ghana must go bag was 23.7kg and my Box was 24.6kg. The guy attending to me was trying to let it slide until one busy body girl came to start making noise saying i must reduce the items and I’m not allowed to have a backpack, hmmmmn i sha changed it for her and brought her back to factory setting because something was definitely wrong with her. I didn’t pay anything or take out anything because my bag was still within 23kg, I refused to let her intimidate me. I left her and went to wrap my ghana must go bag and i paid the man 1k. Then I proceeded to check in my bags, the guy asked for my passport and covid vaccination certificate and then he gave me a yellow card and allowed me pass to the front desk. When i got there the lady was so sweet, she asked for my details and I tried to have her help me change my sit on my connecting flight with AirCanada but she couldn’t because the flight was fully booked. She checked my bags and said it was overweight but she didn’t complain she tagged them and checked them in ,collected the yellow card and filled it for me, she was so sweet and she didn’t beg me so I dashed her money. I went back down to say good bye to my siblings. I came back up by 5pm and i went to meet immigration people, the woman just started begging me immediately saying she doesn’t want to keep me here to be answering questions so I should just find something for her, i had only 500 on me so i gave it to her coz I wasn’t going to use it for anything, I proceeded to meet the other immigration officers and they collected the yellow card and stamped my passport and i went to the waiting room, we began boarding by 6.50pm I think. I went to the plane found my seat which was a window seat and I settled in. I must give it to Qatar airways, the plane was clean , legroom was just perfect, hostesses were sweet and the washroom was also very clean. This people wanted to finish us with food��, the jollof rice with vegetables and chicken sauce was a banger! ,their movie collection was perfect, in general Qatar Airways did no wrong in my eyes and the flight was smooth, we arrived Qatar by 3.20am but my itinerary said we would airrive by 4.10 am. The airport in Doha was so beautiful and super clean, i went to brush in the washroom and it was also very clean. We sat down to wait for our different connecting flights, i connected to the wifi and left messages for my family members. I couldn’t sleep sef. I kept checking the board to see my boarding gate for my connecting flight. Finally they posted it by 8.am and my flight was by 9am, i asked one of the staff there to direct me to the gate and he did. When i got there i was asked for my ArriveCan, covid vaccination proof and passport, I proceeded to the next check point a lady searched me and asked me to take of my shoes, then I proceeded to the next check point, i was asked for my enrolment letter and passport, which was checked and given back to me. They begged me to check in my hand luggage coz the flight was fully booked and there may not be enough space at the overhead cabin. So I did that and i went to board, I didn’t really like my seat sha, it was an outer aisle seat, it wasn’t bad but I wanted a window seat. Omo i was the only black on that flight, thank God i’m fair small coz I could see they were quite confused about my identity �. About 90% of people on that flight were Indians and the remaining where Canadians. I honestly wasn’t impressed by AirCanada, the entire tv sets and charging ports on the aisle roll did not work all through the 14hrs flight��, i was bored out of my brains and I couldn’t sleep, food was rubbish and the washroom was messed up, they just kept disturbing us about face mask, they kept saying if you take it down you will be fined. Omo that flight was the longest 14hrs of my life, i was tired, I walked around a bit to stretch my legs. I couldn’t sleep, i had to beg the Lady on the opposite roll to help me charge my phone, she was a Canadian and she was very nice and friendly, talked for a bit lol that’s when I believed that Canadians are really nice like people always say. Finally they served us curry rice before we landed (i’m still suffering from eating that rice), they gave those of us in the aisle roll a coupon that allows us have a discount on our next flight due to the inconvenience all through the 14hrs flight.

We Landed in Toronto by 4.05pm, I proceeded into the airport, the airport was packed full (Qatar Airport is way more beautiful) i used the self declaration machine and proceeded to join the line to see an immigration officer . The line was long ehhh omo everywhere choke. We were legit sitting on the floor for hours. I managed to get my study permit by 10.53pm, I’m not joking the line was terrible, the person that came to pick me since 4 left by 8pm after waiting. Honestly it was not a pleasant experience, just be prepared sha, those with connecting flights missed their flights. I thank God sha i got my study permit and went downstairs to look for my luggage, as God would have it i found them very close to each other. I had to wait for my cousin to come get me after work. We got to her house by 1am. I was drained. But in everything i am grateful to God��. Canada is beautiful, the cold is something else. I still bless my God for everything.

I went to Canada yesterday to get my SIN , hmmmmm the line was a continuation of the one from the airport. Went there by 8.30am and i left by 3pm���. My legs are numb from standing.

Safe flight to all those coming soon and to those waiting for their PPR , keep trusting God and hold him very tight. It will end in praise.

Again many thanks to Makano and Ketima, may God bless you both and grant all your heart desires. Amen

Please ignore any errors [/quote

LavishG:
I finally got my PPR!!!

I've always been a ghost reader on this space, but I have specially created an account because my PPR journey is unlike any I've read here. I applied for a student visa for the third time on 18 November 2021 after 2 refusals but this story doesn't start there. As you listen to my story may you remain blessed.

It starts before I got admission in 2020, you see I've always wanted to study in Canada after Uni, but I was waiting to garner 3years of experience first. But in January 2020 after working for a year, my plan changed.

You see a friend of mine got a Canadian visa in January 2020 after being denied by the US six months earlier and the truth is I was the one who encouraged him to try Canada instead of a second application to the US mainly because I've always had a thing for the country. Maybe its the name, Canada or the country's reputation, but I always told my friends that I would pick a Canadian visa over any other country's visa including the UK and the US.

Covid came in February 2020 and I knew I wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon so I sat tight. Fast forward to August 2020 and I decided to begin my journey. I didnt know about this thread then, so i basically paid the same agent my friend used (quite pricey) for the school and visa application, school admission letter came sharp sharp before the end of September 2020 for the May 2021 term. My friend sef no fit go anywhere since January till September 2020 when he finally left Naija.

Between September and May, I had enough time to process my visa, or so I thought. One bank that has 'a' in their name first delayed my Form A to pay my school fees deposit for the first term. 2weeks still on queue, 3weeks, 4weeks same thing, who I offend like this. #EndSARS came(may the souls of the departed rest in peace and may their sacrifice not be in vain) in October 2020 and I knew that everyone would start applying for visas to leave the country, I needed to move faster.

In November 2020, my parents and I contacted a cousin of mine to help pay my school fees through her company as the deadline for my tuition deposit was fast approaching, at least Bank suppose respect themselves. In a week, they don do the deduction, we sent the equivalent to her, first term fees paid. Thank you very much. It's good to have a big company o.

My dad was to be my sponsor, so we sent all necessary documents to my agent by the first week in December 2020. That's how my agent called and said there's a new this thing called NSE program and it will make them process my kini fast fast, like in 21days and for that I will need IELTS and MyBank statement Certificate. I was just wondering which kind of wahala be this. So I registered for IELTS, I heard people fail it gan so I gave myself one month to prepare, My exam date was in Jan 2021, no be English language again, language that I've been speaking since I was a baby.

January 2021 came and my office promoted me, in my mind I was like thanks but I dey comot here very soon. I wrote the IELTS, passed it (before nko) and entered the wahala of MyBank statement Certificate. You see, my dad's primary bank said they were having network issues or portal issues and that they could not access something something on the MyBank Statement portal, naso another waiting begin.

We entered February 2021 no headway on the MyBank Statement something, remember my term was starting in May 2021. At the end of Feb 2021, we decided maybe my cousin who helped paid my fees should sponsor me as my dad's accounts with other banks did not have the kind of funds that can be proof of anything. My agent sha talk say make we draw family tree, this one and that one as solid proof that my cousin intends to sponsor me and that we are related. Finally we got my cousin's MyBank statement, around N50m was in the account and I was able to make my first application in early March 2021. March 2021 finished, April 2021 came, excuse me, madam agent shebi you said in 21days I will get response. She said
there's a general delay due to volume of applications. Wahala dey o.

By mid April 2021, my school sent a mail for me to register for the session,  I was in a dilemma for a long time on whether I should defer my admission or register. I thought about my life, if I deferred that means I wont be able to graduate in Jan 2023 like I have planned. They said the term was online, so I could start classes here in Naija while I wait for the visa. One of those nights before I could make a decision, I had a dream (I take dreams very seriously because I rarely have dreams or even remember what I dreamt about if I do). In my dream, I was inside a high rise building with glass windows wearing a very nice suit and looking outside. I was looking at a truck or something clearing snow from the road. So definitely no be naija I dey. It was futuristic or something because I felt like Harvey Specter. When I woke up I felt that it must be a confirmation from God because I immediately knew what I needed to do. I needed to register for my classes.

After registering and getting my timetable, I realized another thing, you know I said I was promoted, omo the salary increase no reach the increase in workload. I knew that I couldn't do both school and work as my work didn't end in the office anymore, I was carrying work home, working on weekends and we were at a peak period. If you know any accountants in charge of financial statements, please give special kudos to them. Which time will I use to do the school. Definitely one or both will suffer.

So I decided, I was going to resign from work(Warning: do not try this) if school started before visa came. My application was solid I thought, I had gotten a confirmation, proof of funds choke sef, why they no go give me visa. I had about 4months worth of salary savings (na my papa house I dey stay since) and an investment with one finance company like that.

Visa no come beginning of May 2021 so I dropped my resignation letter, tell HR say I dey go school. She said I should bring evidence to be included in my file, so I gave her my school enrollment letter. Naso she see school for Canada, she didn't know I hadn't gotten the visa yet, before I knew it everyone started congratulating me at the office say I no inform them say I dey travel go Canada. At that point I couldn't tell anyone that visa hadn't come yet, they would have thought I was crazy. I couldn't even tell my parents at home that I had resigned. You know how parents can be especially with the unemployment rate in the country.

So, I registered at a library, that's where I began taking my classes. I would leave home in the morning like I do when going to work and come back in the evening. How anybody wan take know.

Beginning of June 2021 I got two bad pieces of bad news. Firstly, the finance company I had investment in crashed, shebi they said it was SEC certified, my investment with them was gone. I was still healing from the hurt when I got served my first breakfast from the Canadian embassy, Reason: Purpose of Visit and Financial Assets.

Haba, with the proof of funds wey choke for my cousin company account. I spoke with my agent she said they most likely didnt believe my cousin was the one sponsoring me.

That's how I began research and discovered GIC investment Certificate, this is what most of my indian classmates used to show proof of funds. What better way to show proof of fund than to have some money in my name. For my mind, I just be like I go show this embassy people.

With the help of my parents, I purchased CAD12k worth of GIC, minimum for GIC is CAD10k but I wanted to show the embassy say the money dey now, I also paid the fees for my second term. At least now they cannot say any yeye financial assets. So I submitted another application in July 2021 with my dad as my sponsor. We sent printouts of his bank statements this time as well as I felt the GIC and receipt of 2 terms tuition where enough to cover the fact that we didnt have the MyBank statement.

Lo and behold, another breakfast came again in October 2021. Wetin happen this time, they said purpose of visit, family ties and travel history. I almost ran mad. Wetin be all this one. I became angry, are this people playing with my feelings how will you remove one reason and add 2 reasons. By this time I had started my second term.

I felt betrayed, Canada, the country of my dreams was surely a scam. Why didnt they put all this before. I spoke with my school and they said I should either request a refund of the remaining balance of my 2nd term fees or reapply again. I requested for GCMS notes, ladies and gentlemen, there was no detailed reason on my GCMS note like I see here. Just the same generic reason on my letter of refusal. It was as if they didnt even go through my application.

I told my parents that I was dropping out and that I was tired. They encouraged me and told me not to give up yet. I no even answer them because I had mentally signed out. Na to go dey find another work be that o. My former colleagues don dey ask me when I dey comot, na soon I just dey tell everybody say my classes still dey online. Then my dad told me something that restored my belief, he said he had been moving money out of the bank that had MyBank statement issue small small into another bank and that it is better he sponsored me with that account now, he also said I should find out if I could complete the course from Naija. My mum also said she had been saving money and she had about N3m in her account. At that point my belief returned, so I did not withdraw my GIC investment(brethren, no be by GIC o), this time I used both my parents as sponsors, we printed and put all their account statements inside the application plus the ones with shikini money and did MyBank Statement for the 2 major accounts to be used, about N12m in total for both accounts. I included my first term transcripts, notification of award of dean's honour list and all my parents properties in my 3rd application in Nov 2021.

Usually all my applications had always taken 12weeks but the wait for this one was massive. Kiloshele. After 12 weeks, my agent said she was going to contact them and that I should send her my second term transcripts, fortunately I was on Dean's honour list again so I sent everything to her. Meanwhile, I had academic break starting in January 2022 with my 3rd term to begin in May 2022 meaning I had inadvertently spent the full first year of my school in Naija.

On the 7th of April 2022, my agent called me as she always does when embassy provides a response, the way my heart was beating as I picked the call gan can pound yam, because won't my enemies laugh at me like this. The first thing she said was congratulations, the embassy has requested for your passport, abi na April fool. I suppose dey cry as I type this but I won't, as per hard guy I won't. I could not contain my joy especially with the fact that my school sent a mail that they are transitioning back to physical classes for the next term.

Thanks for reading and I hope my story inspires someone. I just want to wish everyone that is hopeful for a visa the very best and I pray that God that did it for me will also do it for you. I know that I might have left a lot of details out but this story seems like it will be very long. God makes all things beautiful in his time and the truth is I have saved a lot of money by completing my first year in Naija because now I dey hear say my rent will be $600CAD per month.

I am new on Nairaland, so I may not be as responsive here as quickly as I should be, I'll try to respond as much as I can. If there is any other way I can help anyone or any other details of my application you would like to know about, you can send me a msg on Twitter @lavishorlex and I will surely reply you.

P.S: I apologise for not posting this immediately I got my PPR, I read here about someone who got his passport returned without a stamp after submission so I waited till I got my passport back. I waited for almost 20weeks una sef suppose fit wait for one week na. I will see if I can do landing gist as well if una no mind.

Please is it possible for a particular school you applied to have influence over your visa application ?. Just asking please

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.

����Awwwn awwwn. This your story is interesting, i was just imagining as i was reading and it was like am watching a movie. Congratulations to you and am happy for you, with all the higi haga you don reach. Thank God. We sef wey dey wait que, God go do our own too .

Semtu:
Please I heard starting from April, pcr test is no longer a requirement for fully vaccinated travelers...

Can anyone confirm this?

Also, does that mean that pcr won’t be required to board flight in Nigeria and we won’t also be asked of it when we land in Canada?

Please this is the link I got the information from
https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada#pre-entry-testing

Please what does pcr means?

Rasakiopoewa:
Got a visa but not ready to be vaccinated. Any way out?

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���

Congratulations o. May God that did yours will surely do ours. We shall have the cause to share our testimony ijn
