Location? Cost?

brampton, Ontario. $700 per month. August and September only.

Hi all... please anyone coming to Canada during this period and needs a room to stay and observe the two weeks quarantine should let me know. I’m renting out one room in my house for two months.

Hello Nairalanders. Hope you are all doing great? This forum was helpful to me a couple of years ago. I was able to get all the help i needed to acquire my study permit and eventually my PR with contacts i made from this forum.
Anyway, am here to help. If you are looking to come to Brampton/Mississauga. Preferably Sheridan or UTM students and you are looking for accommodation or someone to pick u up from the airport or help you settle down in one way or the other, you can send me a personal message. I could be of help.

For those who are still trying to get their Visas and its not yet coming thru, stay determined. I was denied twice before i got mine, and coming down here turned out to be the best decision i ever made. God bless you all.

Hello Frnds..... Whose headed to London ontario in dec? hit me up lets plan together. University of western ontario or Fanshawe college.

Thanks for your detailed review. Am flying medview to gatwick on the 18th dec. Am just wondering why both your flights was a boeing 767-300ER when they are supposed to be using a boeing 747. do they have special days they fly the boeing 747 or what ?

Medview Review 14/09/16


Checking at gatwick and boarding was done without any hassle
No entertainment (my screen was cracked and all inflight entertainment screens were all turned off (what use is a non-cracked screen, if all the screens were permanently turned off)?
3 male trolley dollies in economy class
2 female trolley dollies in 1st class
Served poundo yam + Egusi soup, Jollof rice and fried rice
The flight was incident free, luggages arrived and departed airport
Plane was a B767 -300ER
Array of drinks available onboard - Usual juice + Alcohol




Medview Review 21/09/2016

Departure - Plane was meant to originally depart @ 1130 hrs. Medview had already sent a text message through, a week before departure that the departure time was now rescheduled for 1330 hrs (phone call and sms communication)
Inflight entertainment - available (but you would have to ask the trolley dollies for earphones(they kept them in their pockets)
15 channels available,only 5 had films) . You also do not have a say in what you want to watch, and how you want to watch……….(My advice, take your entertainment with you)
Trolley dollies in economy class, was an all lady affair (Beautiful ladies feed and watered our whistles)
Array of drinks available onboard - Usual juice + Alcohol
Also ensure your devices are fully topped up (No usb charging ports)
Plane was B767 - 300ER
Meals on offer - Jollof rice (had 5 pieces of beef) &tasted like party rice, fried rice, poundo yam, amala and spaghetti


NB : Medview picks you up and Delivers you safely. That’s the essence of travelling. Not forgetting the difference in price, when compared to other carriers.
You also fly direct (non stop)
Feel free to ask any questions, incase I missed anything out.................

Hi my Gud frnds... please has anyone been able to process form A in recent times? If so... please which bank was used and what was the duration?

Gud day all.... I just collected my visa on Friday. I indicated on my app that I will be traveling on the 20th of dec 2016 but I just booked my flight yesterday for 18th dec 2016. Hope I won't have any problems at the point of entry?

Am trying to book medview now but a need a small clarification. What's the difference between full economy, flexi economy and discounted economy?

Lexusgs430:
Medview is better. But your destination is LGW

Am trying to book medview now but a need a small clarification. What's the difference between full economy, flexi economy and discounted economy?

Solatium:
i will choose Medview over Arik anyday,though Medview goes through Gatwick and Arik to Heathrow,your destination will determine your choice of airport

pls whats the address i should address the letter of introduction from my company to?

Hello Good people. Please i need your advice. I just got a study visa to canada to travel in December but i want to go tru London. Will spend one week in London with my older bro who is a british citizen before i leave for toronto. i was in uk last year tho but the visa has expired.

Now i want to renew my uk visa. will it be a red flag if i tell them that my destination is to go study in canada but am just transiting tru London? Whats the best way to present my visa aplication. Kindly advice.

Hello Family, Please i need your candid advice. I just got my TRV with a sept 2016 admission letter but i want to defer to January 2017. will that affect me in anyway at the POE. Has anyone done this recently??

Flee from that agent

emma4eva:
After my refusal early dis month, my father contacted an agent to facilitate my next application.. I was denied due to insufficient funds. I spoke with the agent that I needed only assistance with the visa application, the agent told me it's easier for them to get me visa using a pdg than with my masters admission..

Keep up the gud work bro.

michV:
thanks for the acknowledgement,i also thought ur were feminine.i appreciate you coming out straight to uphold my facts and clear doubts. I give out words to enable people to avoid all these common reasons from CIC

You correct bro. Find attached excerpts from the GCMS of my first refusal. Tho i wrote a well detailed SOP stating the relationship between my Job and my intended program. even got a reference letter from the project management dept in my office. it still didnt count. annddd am actually a guy.
[quote author=michV post=48410003]good morning all, to encourage all PGC/PGD students,i came up with a sourced fact that PURPOSE OF VISIT is as a result of inconsistency in program.you can hardily hear of program inconsistency when it comes to masters or phd applicants.

How long did it take from the day you received your approval mail to the day you got your passport? Did you get a mail from vfs to come pick up your passport ?

Kento1234:
Thanks..iv gotten my visa n passport back just waiting for the letter. i cant see that there , i guess they have not sent it yet

Have seen quite a lot of of denials for PGC applicants in recent times. Well i have a word of encouragement for someone.

OCTOBER last year i was in your shoes as i applied with a Humber college PGC app and was denied due purpose and visit and her accomplices. i decided not to do PGC again. spent almost 80k on applications in total and finally got a M.eng program with my poor 3.55 CGPA. I applied for trv again but this time was denied due to insufficient funds. at this time i was distraught but decided to give it a last try and finally got approved yesterday.

I told my older bro bout my approval yesterday and he said a very funny parable "woman when de find pikin nor de wear pant sleep". lolzzzzzzzz. that was pretty much my case.

Apply again with a little more effort and you will get your trv.

you can use it. i used mine even after expiration. provided its not been expired for too long

SLEEMYDRIZ:
Good afternoon all....
I'm planing to reapply soon...
but my police cert has expired..
how can renew it nd how much will it cost me? thanks...
I intend using paper route, Pls who know đ current fee for paper route?

yes bro. didnt see it at first but its actually hidden there under the correspondence letter. just click on the arrow to drag down and if you dont see it click next.

Kento1234:
have they sent you your port of entry letter??

Thanks dear .... How many days did your take?

Jayne07:
Wait till you get a text from vfs that your passport has gotten to their office

Congrats ... Kindly share your application documents so others can learn from it.

myusername101:
Okay. How do I start..... I haven't been interactive here that much but I've been going thru to get information about how long it takes to get approved. Anyway here's my testimony.
I submitted my application on the 13 th of June at Vfs global
Then I received a mail to perform my Medicals on the 8th of July.
Did my Medicals on the 12 th of July and they forwarded it to the embassy on the 15th.
Can't know when I passed the Medicals because I didn't link my account online.
I received an email about my approval today. 8th of August.
I applied to memorial university NL.
I encourage you not to give up on God. He never forsakes his people. Have full faith and confidence in him and he won't fail you. He has never failed anyone that trusts in him. Im really not the most religious person tbh. But I know that about God.
Pray to him. fast in his name and you'd receive your testimony in Jesus name. Amen.
Btw I'm an undergraduate student. Booked my flight last 2 weeks. Faith really moves mountains.
Good luck all.

This is quite simple. Go to the hospital you did your medicals with your new medical letter from cic. They will help you forward it.

Team16:
@Justwise. Please my people, I need your help and advise. I submitted my application with an upfront medicals and after 3 weeks i got a medical mail on the 23rd of June. I was advised by some people here to attach the upfront medical form and send to accraimmigration@international.gc.ca which i did on the 24th june and since then i have been sending mails to Accra immigration to see if they have received my Medical form and yet no reply. I linked my application online on the 29th of July, only to see that "my Medical is still required" which means the mail i sent to them has not been acted upon. Please how do i tackle this problem because this wait is killing me. I could have gone to Ghana but it's paper route and i submitted it with my passport, I don't think there's a way i could cross the border without my passport. Please @thesoj, @michV et al please i need your inputs
