Nice tips!

Did you register with any pre-arrival services while in Nigeria? I'm still doing some courses with SOPA and hoping the skills will come in handy for my job search.

To be honest, I didn't . I learnt from my family ,they told me where to go , how to get it and when to get it . But then again if you don't make that move no one will make it for you

Godisincontrol:
Congrats.

Regarding the job(s), kindly tell us what you did differently and how you went about it. We may learn a thing or two by so doing

Never have a universal Resume , kip adjusting it to meet the requirements of the jobs . Look for key words in the advert and use it like COORDINATE, MULTITASKER etc

Landing Gist and Quasi Inspirational gist for people

My inspiration for you.

I landed on a Monday evening , my body had not adjusted to time so when I woke up i decided let start my house search I sent out lots of email not just frloe house alone but for jobs as well ( I already had a viewing booked from Nigeria) . So I got another viewing .

This place was divine within my budget 622 I only pay hydro took the application I didn't want to be in a rush . Also also opened my bank , and got a new SIM that same day . Next day I see the other place not sooner nice , still I take the application form , you never know. As I was getting the form what do I see a call from a company asking me to come in for an interview just day 3 . YES!!!!!!!!!

So I leave the building go home call my family lay out every thing n seek 2nd opinions , so I go on Thursday to submit the application for the first house with my bank statement hoping to get it den off I went for my interview , I get the job I decide okay no harm just submit the other application. On my way there the first house manager call n say SORRY we can't approve you for the house , I felt sad but motivated to I get to the second place n they say, SORRY SOMEONE JUST TOOK IT .

Hmmmmmm.

I took a cab went to the mall sat and got a meal , I called the agent for the second place coz she was soon nice , I told her don't you have something for me n she said hold on my hopes are high again . Yes was a response we got a bachelor's for 700 , ha hanty!!!! I want it she set me up for a viewing Friday the next day with a colleague. I went home happy so that day by 3:00pm I get a call ......

It's another company want me to come in for an interview ( smiles) we do a phone interview ,I passed I schedule the interview for the very next day afternoon .

In the morning I set out first to the bank got my deposit , then went to view the house oh my Magnificent . I walk with the agent back to the office. Fill the forms pay my deposit give them a copy of my bank statement just to add more spice n off u went to do my interview I passed bthe second stage den suddenly I get a call I am approved for the apartment. YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Re schedule my last phase interview to Monday went there signed my lease , payed now I got a house .
Ps more jobs are calling.

In 4days I did it , you can do it . Wives , husband's help each other I declared war in success n I will get it.

Dream,plan n push like u never have .

Good morning everyone!!!!!!

Landing Gist and Quasi Inspirational gist for people.

My flight was scheduled for 8pm , I left the house by 6pm with my entire family (both those physically present and on what's app video call) . I booked my flight with Lufthansa from PH ,I paid for extra luggage didn't have a problem with customs or immigration cos perks of been in a force family .

So flight arrived big plane , movies, charged my phone in board the plane, the food just kept in coming , short stop in Abuja picked up passengers , we didn't disembark . Let's say we spent 30mins.

Then off we flew to Germany we arrived by 6:30am . ( Now let me tell you all , please where comfy shoes , I did so the TREK yes I said it TREK was good , Frankfurt is massive , don't get lost following the arrow , always check the board for your flight . Then after 3hrs we started checking in with Air Canada ( don't bother about your luggage here it will be loaded into the next plane for you . Did I tell you I went the wrong way n almost went into Germany . My GOD is stronger than dem.

So off we went to Toronto not so spacious but was bearable , good flight , food was everywhere . The hanty near me na have Cough ,I shall use style to cover my face . I didn't come all the was to be quarantined .
We eventually landed after what looked like the longest flight if my life .

So with my already filled out declaration form I was directed to immigration when I told the connecting flight lady I wanted to be stamped here.ki
The line was long oh my , no one was smiling I new I will miss my flight but I wasn't bothered , soon it became my turn and just as I presented my documents another officer came up n said let me take her and some others , she seems nice . Asked me questions if I am an ex con , been deported , how much I had on my person . I changed my passport photo to a new one , I was asked to sign n she also signed . Then off I went to get my sin number . I filled out the form , gave my Airbnb address n I was done. I was given my sin and a paper on how to kip it safe n etc.

I informed the officer I had missed my flight . He just said go downstairs they will rebook you.

I went downstairs I didn't see my bags (okay my village people finally found me). Kip that declaration form handy you will need to present it before you pass the gate. I got to the ticket stand told the about my bags they said " oh if you fly Air Canada you don't need to worry about your baggage we will sent it to your final destination. Ps they load the baggage after check in so they know whose bags go if you are not there your bags stay till you come and you are re booked den they load your bags) .

On another TREK I went looking for my boarding gate . I found it , within a short time it was time to board so I did, this plane was smaller no food just plenty off water to fill our hungry bellies , we had movies to watch n a port to charge my phone but I was sleepy so I slept off with an ear piece listening to classical music. Suddenly I was awoken by shaking n left n right movement . I closed my eyes n said Ha! Canada na so you wan do me . We continued that was for 2 mins then we touched down finally , it was 5pm I was finally at Winnipeg airport. Thank you Lord .


I went to get my laugage wore my winter jacket that surprisingly is holding off the cold , muffler on neck , head warmers n out I went let me pause ,,,,,,, The cold attacked my hands because I didn't wear my gloves it went through my jeans because it could but my torso head n feet where warm . I got a taxi n straight home u went . My host was at home , I asked for hot water diluted it and drank it it warmed my belly . It felt nice.
I went straight to bed after a brief chat with my host I was tired n I needed the rest

I am trying to send you a message but it seems to be bouncing back

Hello house,

Please Wot is the possibility of my sister's visit visa been approved, most of the people who submitted their application that I know of were denied.

Saintp:
Not yet oooo. I don't just understand again

I would suggest you check your application page, may be it has been updated already. I checked Vfs tracking for my application it says "... been processed......"

Saintp:
Is there anyone who submitted their passport to VFS Lekki on 22nd May or that week that has received their passport and COPR back?
This is 21 days no update and I initially thought it is a 14 day process.

Not yet, however I have gotten a status update from CIC with my counterfoil nd number. Have you gotten yours.

Oga Sir,
Abeg gist us your experience, make we sef dey learn

A555:
You can take in whatever amount of cash you have available. Just ensure that if it is in excess of 10,000 CAD, you declare it at the point of entry. This would usually just be recording the amount of cash you're coming in with, and be sure you have information on hand to prove where you've got the money from. So if it is from your account, have bank statements to show you had the cash in your account for a while and withdrew it at some point.

No need to look for CAD in Nigeria. USD is just as good when coming into Canada. Banks and BDCs in Canada will change it for you. The general feedback from the thread so far is that you get better rates from the Bank than changing at the airport, so if you need some CAD for transportation on arrival, change just a little bit of your USD at the airport.

Lovely, thank you a million
