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

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.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by Ekulu77: 8:27am On May 06, 2022
May the land of Canada Favour you
Please did your medicals expire before you leave
If it did, did you do another one

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 for 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...

I’m actually a novice
It’s not a must your sponsor is related to you but Close ties sponsorship are mostly approved
But from what I’ve heard and seen on nairaland most third party sponsorship are rarely approved .nevertheless that doesn’t mean they have never approved non related sponsored application
I’ve read a company sponsorship that was approved but it’s how you package the application
Stating why the person wants to sponsor, I can’t really say on the documents for you to submit but you can check the documents I submitted
dbeautyful:
Congrats to you

Please, must my sponsor be related to me?
The sponsor lives and runs his company in the UK. What documents would I require of him to provide?

Will appreciate your kind feedback.

ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUEST !!!
GOD DID IT
Protocol breaking God.
It ended in praise
After 9months of submitting my application
First time application
GRAND UNCLE SPONSORSHIP
It will be so bad and ungrateful if don’t come back here to give my timeline to help others , the way other people helped me too.
I got every information I needed from nairaland ranging from submitting application to writing sop all information gotten from nairaland ,with very good people that are willing to help.
TIMELINE
Submit application:May 15th 2021
Biometrics request:May 16th 2021
Biometrics appointment:May 26th 2021
Biometrics updated:May 26th 2021
Upfront medical: June 16th 2021
Medicals updated: July 13th 2021
Ordered my 1st gcsmnotes :September 26th 2021
Gcsmnotes received:November 29th 2021
Ordered another gcsmnotes : January 26th 2022
Correspondence letter:February 17th 2022
PPR:February 17th 2022.

DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED
PROOF OF FUNDS
SOLE SPONSOR - UNCLE
6MONTHS BANK STATEMENT
CAC of his company
Landed properties
passport bio data
Survey of his landed properties
Memorandum and article of association of company
Certificate of occupancy of landed properties
Waec results
Secondary school testimonial
Secondary school transcripts
Letter of recommendation from my school
Letter of volunteer at an hospital
Letter of sponsorship
Letter of consent from my parents
Letter of acceptance
Pictures with my sponsor
Picture with my sponsor and parent
Awards from school including that I was the head girl

Note : my gcsmnotes I ordered stated insufficient proof of third party sponsorship . I came to nairaland to ask for what I should do . I was asked to act fast on it because it is very close to a refusal but God doesn’t fail. Nairaland gurus told me to fire back using email and webform this thing actually works most important the general webform which make you know that they have received your enquiry.
*Letter of explanation explaining the relationship between I and my sponsor why he would what to sponsor me .
*I stated that his children are grownups and successfully established in their careers so he doesn’t have major financial responsibility towards them
*birth certificate of my grand uncle and my grandma,
*family tree,
*old pictures of my grand uncle and grand ma ,
*recent pictures of my grand uncle and I on my Graduation day
*Receipt of my full year tuition fees,
*stating that GIC account will be created for me once my visa is approved
Also, all glory and honour to God that made this possible because this application is far from perfect . “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5‬ ‭NIV‬.
With prayer and fasting the application was approved. Also , trust God while waiting because I was so discouraged when I come to nairaland and I see most application with uncle sponsorship are not approved even those with same surnames talk less of me that it is grand uncle with different surname from mine.
I told God that I want my application to be different with this grand uncle sponsorship. I want to give a testimony of grand uncle sponsorship because what’s impossible with man is possible with God.
Also, while waiting try to distract yourself from thinking of it because it really affects one’s mental especially. The waiting period is not easy but it will be easier if you have faith in God . I joined NLP by pastor b which made me closer to God and speak to God about my application.
In the mighty the name of God , those that are planning to submit their application and people waiting for a decision to be made on their application they will get a positive decision very soon in Jesus name because mark 11:24 “That what ever you ask in prayers believe you have receive it and it is yours”Also ,remember “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭.
Thank you so much nairalanders always answering my questions especially @ makano , @scott9ish , @anon123 , @liana2020 @justmellow ( who said he his looking forward to my testimony here is it ) and others that I forgot to mention .I really appreciate. I hope this helps someone.

Hello Ekulu

For proof of relationship, you will need to submit
1. His birth certificate that shows the same last name as either your Dad or Mum(before she got married to your dad).
2. If he has sponsored you academically or career-wise in the past, you will need to show receipts of these payments..
3. Your pictures with your uncle.. E.t.c

You must also draft a Letter of explanation explaining in detail each of the proof you are submitting...

Peace
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by Ekulu77: 12:10pm On Dec 17, 2021
Thank you so much your response
Scott99tish:
You are on track.
All those were needed if you never added in the first place.

You need to Add a new Letter of Explanation to explain your relationship with your Sponsor.

Explain the tree… with evidences (Birth certificate and all you can get).
Pictures taken together…

Most importantly, you need to explain deeply why He want to sponsor you, You need to convince the VO why a 3rd party want to sponsor you.
Then you can try to update His statement of account (MBS) also.

All that need to be done ASAP…
I pray it works.

Start from there ASAP before Gurus in the house add more suggestions.

Regards.

Thank you so much
Scott99tish:
Since your application has not been concluded yet, you need to act fast on what you saw.

Insufficient proof of relationship for the 3rd Party Funds (sponsor).

You need to work on that under a day and provide it via webform and email to update your application, else it’s a denial in making due to personal assets and funds.

Regards.
