Thank you so much.

bullstriker:
Yes, it does

Hello guys. I just want to know. Does the usual 2-way courier of passport to VFS still work after PPR?

Why are you guys arguing over cheap commodities like this?
1L of palm oil is just C$7 (Atleast in my province). Milk is very cheap too.
Travel light guys and leave all these excessive load and save yourselves immigration officers wahala jare.
If you must carry stuffs, buy winter jackets and egusi, ogbono, ground crayfish, stockfish, etc

Won't they weigh the 10kg bag too?

Testimonytime:


Remove 5 kg from the 29 kg and add to the 10 kg hand luggage

Thanks. Noted.

GodsGabby:


If you booked your flight directly with the airline please let them know you have an over weight or extra Kgs.
They have a fee for it which is cheaper than when you pay at the airport.
Speak with their customer service to let them know how to go about it.

Also some are kind to allow 2 extra kgs nd they overlook it for you at the airport.


Please! please!! please!!! to us.
When buying your travelling box, go for light ones so u can have enough to pack. Dnt go for a box that is weighty already, u no go see anything carry 23kg don reach.

Noted.
Thank you.

Perseverer:

Chai.
No wahala. I’ll lose some clothes then.
Thank you

Ketima:



Start to unpack. LOL

comot some cloths nah to create space for foodstuffs and reduce to 23kg per bag. Max is 2 bags plus 7kg hand luggage if I'm not mistaken.

I am Economy o. So let me just respect my ancestors and start removing load.

dfutbolar:

I guess flight charges vary base on airline. Hopefully. But luggage's allowed also depends on airline and kind of ticket you buy. I guess a business class has more luggage allowance. Than economic class.

Okay thank you.
I appreciate.

Shayee35:


I don't know what the officials will say. Just prepare to pay. If you really can't pay, shed the weight.

Most airlines allow 2, 23kg (46kg) and 1 8kg carry on luggage.
Check you flight ticket for the luggage info.

Jioke1994:
Pls, explain very well.
I never travel b4.
How many kg is free, and how many is charged?
Coz I think say luggage na 4 free.

Thanks.
I will be flying Lufthansa just like she (or he) did. Hence my question.

dfutbolar:

I guess flight charges vary base on airline. Hopefully. But luggage's allowed also depends on airline and kind of ticket you buy. I guess a business class has more luggage allowance. Than economic class.

Same time ooo... I will be flying from lagos.
Are you traveling tomorrow too?

flexerking:
lol same here lufthansa what time is your flight tho mine is 10:55

What!!
So I here is my own wahala. I have 3 bags and my laptop bag.
One is weighing 24kg (my foods)
The other is weighing 29kg (my clothes and other stuffs)
The two above are Ghana Must Go bags.
I also have a box weighing 10kg
What do you think?
I don't have 125k ooooo

Shayee35:


Lol. So, I had 2 boxes and 1 ghana must go bag each weighing 20kg. You know travelers have an allowance of 2 bags at 23kg each and a hand luggage of 7kg. So I paid for the third bag. It was simply a flat rate. They didn't consider the weight, they just charged a flat rate.

Thinking back, if I had known that the charge would be by back, I would have carried more food items.

I am not asking you to do that, though.

Yepa!!!!
For 60kg or how many excess kg again?

Shayee35:


Hi. It's a flat rate, not cost per kg. I paid roughly 125k.

Hi,
Thanks for the landing gist.
I will be flying Lufthansa tomorrow. Quick one, How much did you pay for the extra luggage...what is the cost per kg?

Shayee35:
MY LANDING GIST

I will try to be as detailed as possible.

My flight had been booked for August 1 since the second week in June, and I didn't reschedule because while booking I didn't select the option to pay for a date change. (Too much aroro is not good as I would have changed my flight date and not put myself under unnecessary pressure at the airport while checking in)

On arrival at the airport, I was asked if I had foodstuff. I said yes, so I was directed to the Agricultural produce counter where I filled a form and paid the sum of N2,000. I was then given a print out to show that I had declared the agricultural produce. Next was to find the incredibly long queue for Lufthansa travelers. I got on the queue and when it was turn my bags were weighed. I had 3 bags weighing about 20kg each. I was told I would need to pay for the extra bag, obviously. I was given the ticket to go pay, after I had been checked in. When it was my turn to be checked in, I was asked for the following:

1. Arrive CAN
2. Enrolment Letter (which I did not have)
3. Evidence of payment
4. Letter of Acceptance

I explained that since I hadn't started classes and I had reached out to my school to get the enrolment letter but was refused based on the fact the enrolment letters are only for students who had started classes already, I was advised to explain to the officials. I did so, but they were already saying that "ah, you will not board o, you need your enrolment letter o". I responded by asking them to tell the CBSA people what I told them. The guy in charge left and came back to say the border officer said I couldn't board as my flight date was not within the 4 weeks advisory. (The enrolment letter wasn't the issue)

I told to him to explain that I had booked in June and was not aware of the 4 weeks advisory (I genuinely wasn't, I don't like wahala). The border officer then replied that I should just reschedule. The Lufthansa officer then responded by saying that I had been to TICKETING, and that there were no more flights for August.

Next response: XXXXXXXXX, OK TO BOARD.

The man was gracious enough enough to show me the chats on WhatsApp. I was already afraid that I will have to carry all my luggage back home after all the stress of getting to this point of my Canadian journey, and not just the airport.

My trip was smoother from there. Good inflight food and entertainment. 6 hour layover in Frankfurt. Another 8 hours plus to Toronto. Tiring trip o!

Anyway, at the airport you queue to selfservice your landing, scan your passport, take your photo and all. Then the machine gives you a slip. Next, you get on another queue where some documents are asked of you. For me it was Arrive CAN, Vaccination card (I made sure I was fully vaccinated) and letter of acceptance. The officer was satisfied and then I got on the queue for students to get my study permit. Depending on who you meet, the questions will vary. When it was my turn, I was asked for:

1.Letter of acceptance
2. Tuition receipt

I showed him. Then he asked for evidence of my living expenses coverage and I showed him my bank statement (Print a recent one, please). He then told me to wait, that he wants to print my permits. He gave me 2, Study and Work. He also took the time to explain the conditions on the documents. When he was done he said, "Welcome to Canada" with a huge smile on his handsome face.

I sailed out like the queen I am to look for my luggage which I found after a long while. The airport is so big. Please eat in the plane or during your stopovers. You need your strength for the queues and movements.

As you can tell, I wasn't asked for my hotel reservation because I am fully vaccinated. On my way out of the airport, I was given a Covid home test kit to get a sample for pickup at my accommodation. I am exempt from quarantine.

I think that's mostly it.

Have some loose cash in case the airport officials tax you and you don't know how to say NO.

Oh yea, classes start Sep 7, so I was about 1 week ahead of the 4 weeks advisory.

Paid the extra luggage, it was pricey, so prepare. I think it's worth it, though.

Hope this helps someone.

Hello,
Why the 3 days quarantine? Is he not fully vaccinated?

maralina:
My brother’s Landing gist
His program starts Sept 7th
He traveled Aug 2nd (4 weeks and 5days)

He Got to MMA, they asked him for:
Enrolment letter
Acceptance letter
Covid test
Authorization letter
ArriveCan receipt
3 days Hotel reservation
Which he provided.
The airline staff (Turkish airlines) verified the documents, and said he was okay to board.

He arrived Toronto airport; officer asked for his acceptance letter and letter of introduction.
And issued him study permit. He spent over 2hours at immigration because there was a long queue (so be prepared)
After immigration, he went to claim his baggage.
After that, he went to do covid test, spent over an hour lol.
I was outside waiting for him though.
When he came out, I drove him to the hotel for quarantine; cooked some food (which I took to the airport) to sustain him for the 3 days, because I’m pretty sure he won’t like them oyibo meals as a first timer Lol.
Everything went smooth and I thank God for a safe trip.
Wishing everyone coming this fall Safe travels.

But they don't ask for the number 2 at the airport yeah?
Cos I've not seen anybody post it here that the yellow vaccine card was asked at the airport.

MadeMan01:


There are two yellow cards
1. The one the give you after getting boarding pass to fill your details f destination, name, etc. Its yellow s Colour.
2. A yellow booklet with QR code showing you have been immunised for yellow fever and other communicable diseases, like measles, etc. Its a yellow booklet and yellow in colour. You can get it at the medical center just before the toll gate leading to international airport when coming from Ikeja. Ask for building where you get yellow card. The immunization is valid for life if taken as an adult. I got mine last year. You can Google it

meemeeibrahim22:


Hi Eric when does your classes start and when are you traveling ?

Hello. My classes will start September 1. I will b traveling next week Thursday (6th)

Lianna2020:
Yeah the yello card is free.
Once you are about to enter the airport, they will ask you to pay and get, just ignore them.
Once you are in and given boarding pass, they will also give your yellow card to fill in details and it’s absolutely free!

Thank you jare.

So sorry to hear this brother. Try and reschedule to a date that's closer to your resumption date. You will be fine.
But why pay for the Yellow card? Canada don't need it na. Abi when them start that one?

Blavkmaann:
My brothers and sisters o, that’s how my date na reach, I na prepare o, dress like person Wey wan travel, all my boys, my slaves, my entourage, we came in 3 cars, landed at the departure side.....

If you see my pride ehn, as I reach the gate, the police people at the door said my boys are too plenty they can’t enter, just 9 people oo, I sha gave them 5k, they let them enter 1 by 1, I took my load to one place, “CUSTOMS AND NDLEA”.... I sha gave them 1k, I pass there, one other place, “Quarantine services” those ones took 2k.. just not to search my bag oo

As I’m leaving Nigeria na... I was still smiling, my boys were hailing me....

As I reach that place they used to stand in queue, one yeye boy that thunder will fire came to meet me, e say “do I have yellow card”
Which dirty yellow card, they have already warned me against these airport thugs, I looked at him disgustingly, I said “which one is yellow card now” e say I no need am, say for back na 100$ but for that front na 6k..

I just look the boy, I sha gave him the 6k, he na ran to one place and brought one small thing like this... e b like booklet!

This is where my problems started!

I stood on the queue, come and see fine fine babes... hahahahahaha, oh my Jesus,
They scan my Covid test results, the immigration woman was like “nice one” I said thank you,
They weight my bag, one was 16kg, one was 27kg, that boy I have 6k for yellow card na came and carried the two bags, told me to wait, he opened it and put some clothes from this one to the other one, he sha did it, e na balance, I dash him 1k, as a loyal boy!


I na got to one place, the man na said he has to send my documents to Canada immigration to get orders whether to let me come or not, reason being that, my resumption date is September 7...

All my boys Don Dey ready to start fight, very local goats, I told them to calm down, after like 15 mins baba came and showed me his phone, the Canada people said “ILL RECCOMMEND NOT TO BOARD PASSENGER”
The man now asked when can I come, the Canada person replied
“FROM AUGUST 10,”
The one that I don’t understand was the Canada people na told him “USE YOUR DESCRESION”

He said he can let me go o, but if I go they will send me back, I said no no, so I’ll need to reschedule my flight,
Turkish airline people said coz I got my tickets from wakanow, I should go there and reschedule, I was offloaded from the flight, then me and my boys went to MM2 (wakanow office) those anyhow people said I’ll pay 600k to get a seat for august 28....

At this point I just weak like cold Eba, I be like bread Wey dem soak inside tea.... I was having headache

I then knew that my first ticket money have burn!

Omo, me and my boys went to one lounge in ikeja to drink and forget our sorrows, August we move again, but for now, I Dey with my beer!

Hello all,

I will be attending Dalhousie University for my masters.
It's been hell trying to get an apartment from Nigeria.
Anyone here with an apartment (or any lead) that's available for rent in Nova Scotia? Budget is 550-600 per month.
Thank you all.

You will get email notification then head to your profile to download the medical request form.

Kenthro:
Hi guys, is the medical request sent through email or the website?

Thank you
Q

Backcheck:


1. You can carry as much as you want, but if you are carrying above 10k CAD or 7,960 USD, it MUST be declared.

Evening guys,
Please I have two questions.
1. What's the maximum USD (cash) that one can carry while traveling?
2. Can one carry local dry herbs (agbo) or will it be confiscated?
Thank you

You are right. Once you are full vaccinated, you don't need the 3-days Hotel booking.

may99:
Hi

I’ve read a little about this. Vaccinated ppl don’t need to do hotel stopover. They only need to present a quarantine plan for 14 days. This may be in an Airbnb, hotel, or apartment with single or separate occupancy.

I stand to be corrected but this is the information I got from watching several youtube videos of vaccinated ppl traveling after the new policy.

Also, once you’re exempted, you can inform the hotel of quarantine of your status and request a refund if you wish to proceed to other locations.

Hi, PC is not compulsory. But I believe it can save you some sorta time when background checks is being done.

Kenthro:
GUYS IS POLICE CLEARANCE REALLY COMPULSORY FOR STUDY PERMIT, I HAVEN'T SEEN WHERE IT SAID IT IS. ALSO ON TWITTER IRCC SAID IT ISN'T A REQUIREMENT. THOUGHTS ON THIS?

x

kindly note that you'll need a return ticket to be able to access PTA/BT[b]A[/b] from banks.
since most people here will be booking one-way, I doubt if you can get get funds from banks.

lawfree638:



He meant to say Via PTA.

Even when you are buying BTA or PTA, you still need to fill the form A "form" in some banks. I know of some banks. -

Either BTA or PTA, most banks I know (can't say for all) will still give you the form A "form" to submit with your other documents. Duly completed Form “A” is a requirement

So technically, he is correct.

Any August traveller (First week) going to Halifax, Nova Scotia? I am an inbound Dalhousie Fall'21 grad student.
Also, I will be flying Lufthansa Airlines.
A travel buddy won't be bad you know . We can also get AirBnB together (I want to reserve this in 2weeks time).
So hit me up if you fit into any of the above profiles.

Hello,
You don't need to print and sign anything (If you are applying one), when you are ready to submit your entire application, you will see a section where you will input your fullname and this will serve as you 'signing' your entire forms.
Gorrit now?

AdoChel:
Do I have to print out the family information form to sign?

Thank you.
