How then can one be able to apply for upkeep on trade system without a Canadian bank account please?

When you land in Canada, that is when you can apply for it as you will need proof of Canadian address to process your upkeep

TOSM:
Hi guys, which Canadian bank account can I open from Nigeria as an international student applying for study visa and deposit my money into?

You do not need to open a Canadian account before coming.

Generate payment advice on flywire or western Union Global pay or paymytuition etc, then fill form A to pay your school fees.

You dey motivate me, Ajeh.

I love the Naija spirit in you, never say never, we dey your back kampe and it shall surely end in praise by God's grace.

Carry go, Canada will favour you

Mexico transit update

I'm transiting through Mexico city. Flights to Cancun is cheaper than Mexico city from Nigeria, but Cancun is a tourist destination and so is expensive to get a modest accommodation and also food. Moreover, Cancun is farther away from Canada than Mexico city, so the flight to Canada is more expensive via Cancun.
Hence, my choice of Mexico city.

My Mexican friend advised that I go with euros instead of dollars because after conversion to Mexico pesos, euro is more profitable. She also said that there are a lot of kiosks to change money after the luggage pickup area in the airport. She said that that's where you will find best rates.

My supervisor has linked me up with a Mexican student also. I will update on any new info.

Also, this is the link to the Mexican embassy website where they said that those with used/unused Canadian visa can enter Mexico for max 30days. It will be wise to print the page.

Congratulations to you, enjoyed reading the long story.

Don't worry God will provide the bone of your bone for you and it will all end in praise

LONG POST ALERT!!!

Good morning my people (especially @Ketima)
Praise the Lord, what God cannot do does not exist. I give all glory, honour, praises, everything and all things to the God of heaven, creator of the world, the one who never sleeps or slumber, the one who answereth by fire, the king of kings, the Lord of Lord, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, THE LORD WHO SAYS YES AND NO MAN OR SPIRIT CAN SAY SO, MY GUARANTOR.

My journey her started in 2015 while in the UK. I applied to four universities for my LLM and only got in at University of Ottawa but my father's friend who lives in Canada says its more expensive than UK. Thus, ended continuation of my studies in UK with my LLM. 2016,my dad traveled to Canada again and met with an immigration consultant and explain all to them that it cheaper than UK (apparently my father's friend do charge my dad US DOLLARS as CAD for everything my dad does on Canada). It was then my father knew the kind of friend he has.

The consultant asked me and my sis to apply to colleges for PGC from the UK, We got in but then the devil taught he had succeeded (my father was scammed by another friend in same Canada and lost lot of money). Then he could only sponsor one person. As a big sister haven been to the UK years before my younger sis, I stepped down and ask her to go. She left new year 2017 while I came down to Nigeria.

Coming down, I have saved money to cover tuition deposit for Canada, so convinced my dad that he should only sponsor me to enter since I had the tuition, he agreed. I applied on my won because, the Canada consultant was charging us $2,000. The course was PGC paralegal. I submitted my app.with my LLB, BSc. LLM but was refused due to no career progression and not convinced I will come back. I reapplied but this time with the consultant since he was the one who handle my sis app then. He first charged us $200 for GCSMC note (the refusal comprehensive note).

The second app. was done with a long SOP and all documents notarized yet another refusal that they were not convinced I will come back, travel history, purpose of visit. Then I gave up and pursued my NYSC, law school. I was called to bar 2019 and start work. It was last year September my dad and sis started fighting me that I was too comfortable with Nigeria. I told my dad not to start because he had said then in 2017 that must I ho back, people were making in Nigeria and no more education or PhD for me in his house. That I was going to do that in my husband's house (me that do not have boyfriend talk less).

He apologized then I started with WES, IELTS (first attempt, L:6.5, R:8.5, W:5.5, S:6.5), tutorials in IELTS (second attempt, L:8.5,R:7.5,W:6.5,S:8.0) submitted EE and went on with some Provincial nominee. Yet nothing until August my sis started with apply for a masters program again after getting rejected in Carleton University for a PhD program even though I had secured supervisor and using the same proposal to bag two phd offer in UK and 1 Australia. In order for peace to be, I applied and was given admission and the submitted the application.

Just this morning, what God cannot do does not exist. My God is awesome, too good, to faithful to fail me

Congratulations, those still waiting for theirs, God will do it

It's PPR!
He is a miracle working God, my ocean divider, he who breaks protocol for my sake and corrects all my mistake to perfection. I give him all the glory for a perfect Sunday morning gift.
I have been a silent reader, discovered this thread after submitting my application and I was sad because I missed a lot of things on my application especially my compressed financial document which was not clear enough after compressing it, but I keep my hopes high while taking notes of what I missed paraventure I need to reapply.
I want to thank everyone here for your post and comments as it became the source of strength for me these past weeks while tapping into people's testimony and learning from questions being asked.
Here is my timeline.
Application submitted = Sept 25th 2021
Biometrics done= Sept 27th 2021
Biometrics updated = Sept 27th 2021
Upfront Medical passed = Oct 25th 2021
Correspondence letter= Dec 01 2021
PPR= Dec 05 2021
First time applicant. I have been to UAE once 2014, US rejected application 2017.
MBA program in UCW Jan 2022 intake.
To God be the glory.

Let me start by saying thank you to every one on Nairaland especially the gurus who give out free information without asking for a dime, you guys are great and you will all prosper

To this Omicron virus I got two words for it 'Your papa', you can not stop we Nigerians no matter what, we are born fighter, we soldier through everything so you got nothing on us, this travel ban phase will pass and we shall enter Canada by God's grace.

A few background story,
I am one of the Methuselahs on Nairaland, joined since 2006, yes 2006 and was a great contributor to the Free Browsing Tricks (that was the most active thread those years) and left the day the thread was taken down, I was really heartbroken.
I came back partly in 2011 to help people with some few ways on how to unlock paid phone applications for free and got banned and some of my thread locked so I had to open a new account and stayed in the background

Back to the Canada waka, after the endears saga, I knew I was done with Naija and I started looking for how to look for a 'better' country, hence my return to Nairaland
to source valid information and I was not disappointed.

I submitted my application on September 1, 2021.
Did my biometrics September 7.
I did upfront medicals even before I submitted my application, started medical Aug 17 at IOM, got a mail for additional Xray view Aug 27, I thought that was all, only for me to get a mail for additional information, I was told I have to come for sputum test at 7am for 3 consecutive days at IOM Ikeja and I reside in Ajah, so I had to transfer to Q-life,
I paid extra 60k for sputum test and was told they need to culture for 10weeks, it was at this point I almost gave up but na Buhari dey motivate me Ajeh.

Going to Q-life for 3days consecutively for sputum test was not enjoyable for me at all especially for the fact that it is a supervised test, they will watch spit into a test tube until it gets to about 5-10ml, after 10weeks, I had to pay and do another X-ray at Q-life which was sent with the result of my sputum test.

Medical updated to pass Nov 25, come and see celebration when I finally passed my medicals you will think that my study permit just got approved.

Got one ghost update, then Dec 2, I was in the office when I saw the mail, come and see 'tough' man like me shaking inside AC, ran to the toilet to check the mail and login, my heart was racing, hand shaking and bracing myself in case the news was not favourable and then I saw the PPR news, small tears of joy dropped because medicals show me pepper.

I want to thank everyone for all your support.

I have read every contributions and comments from part 17, 18, 19 and this 20. After I submitted my application, I realised I didn't do justice to my lump sum, so I raised a webform, entered Frankrobbn 1 mode with a touch of Makano methodology and a sprinkle of Ketima FBI skills and created a believable story about it and reattached documents to back it up.

I raised a total of 4 different webforms at different times to update my information based on what I read here.

One day soon, I will do a story on my sputum test experience and what to expect.

P.S: Pls pardon my typos and poor composition, I am too excited to type a well composed story, I am just typing as it comes, maybe I will do a better one when I am calmer

Congratulations hoodboy, igboro 1 of Nigeria, you are my omicron ban hero, against all odds, you made it.

Please make us proud.

To those affected by the ban, do not be discouraged, something hoooge (good news) will drop soon by God's grace

Landing Gist

So I booked British Airways flight for 30th of November. I had booked it since September, do the booking at MMIA so I paid in Naira at official rate.

Flight was for 11:45pm but I got to the airport around 4pm keeping with the advice given here to always arrive early.

First wahala was at the scanning machine at the entrance, they found my palm oil and said to take it out, that it won’t fly on BA, I didn’t argue I dropped it because I still had two more, which unfortunately ended up being trashed by BA just before departure (BA doesn’t allow frozen palm oil).

Agric people caught me this point and I had to dash them 2k, was hoping to escape it. After then I went weighed my luggage, had to shuffle some items between my carry-on and my checked in luggage before I was able to move ahead.

Showed the airline rep my passport, enrollment letter ArriveCAN, passenger locator form (mandatory for UK passage), vaccination card and COVID test. He confirmed the documents and gave me my boarding pass and yellow card to fill.

From there I moved to immigration, they collected my yellow card here, I was instructed to write my final destination address at the back of the card, Baba asked for tip I told him “nothing Dey” and they let me go.

Boarded the plane to London, the food was alright and we landed heathrow around 4am and that’s when I came online and saw the ban update

At 11:45 am we boarded the connecting flight, food was also good. After about 8hrs we were in Toronto. Used the machine to scan my passport and filled some information and a slip was printed out. Walked over to fort immigration check, the asked what food items I brought and I listed them asked if Toronto was my final stop, told him will be going to Saskatoon in January for school proper and I was directed to the place where I’d get my study permit.

Study permit didn’t take long, was only asked for the school I was attending and letter of admission which I submitted, it was checked and I was issued a study permit after which I was directed to public health for quarantine matters based on the new COVID update.

Anyways, I’m isolating now can’t wait for the result to be out so I can carry on with my life.

Sleep don full my eyes

This video just gingered me, Ajeh.

It is just a matter of time everything will make sense soon.

Do not be devastated, we are Nigerians and we always soldier on.

Let's keep the hope alive, it will end in praise

Hello!

If i plan to submit MBS for my application.
1) will bank send it to embassy that day and they get it that day? I planned applying that day.

2) my statement will be from june-Nov, but will print by dec, after sending the MBS and uploading the ticket no & passwd, hope the VO won't have access to my statement of account other than the months i provided, cos money will go out! They can't check from Dec 2021 or jan 2022 since i didn't choose the desired month right?

Please help me reply to this.

For your questions

1. Once your ticket number is generated, it is already on the MBS portal of the embassy and the password is what is required to open it, they can only see for the period which you requested for and not more.

2. They do not have access to your account aside that day, however, if they suspect anything, they might request for updated statement but that rarely happens

zxxtx:
Hello everyone, someone please help. I’m about applying to SAIT but I’m very confused right now. The spelling of my middle name on my WAEC cert is different from what I have on my passport and birth certificate. On my passport, NIN and birth certificate it’s spelt AIGBE but on my WAEC, University, Land Docs, bank and all other documents I have in my life it’s spelt AHIBGE. Early this year when I wanted to renew my passport I was having issues because name on my passport and NIN doesn’t match AHIGBE on NIN and AIGBE on passport, the officer but he said it’s hard to correct name on passport and was asked to correct that of NIN. It takes about 6months to correct name on WAEC. Application for 2022 fall would have expired. All other informations are correct and it’s my middle name not first name. What can I do pls ?

A change of name affidavit, newspaper publication can suffice in the case pending when WEAC will correct the name and you can send to them if it is still required

Chiziteremary:
Good day Makano,

Please what kind of legal documentation does my brothers wife need to bring. Please reply. Im running short of time. I have almost concluded my application before seeing your response. Many thanks for your response. That would have been a problem if i didnt see it.

A written letter consenting to co-sponsor you alongside your brother because the account is a joint account so the two parties (your brother and his wife) must consent to the sponsorship as against just your brother.

Of all the payment party, Flywire have the cheapest rate, I have used them to make payment severally, I will advise you generate the flywire payment instruction over the weekend as CBN give funds to banks on monday evening so it can be treated on tuesday and by thursday, It will reflect in your Seneca account portal

tosynn007:
Hello everyone, this is a matter of urgency. I intend paying my first term Seneca school fees tomorrow but I couldn't see Form A but I saw others like flywire,CIBC and western whom has higher rates. Is there anyone who has paid his/her Seneca college tution fee using Form A as my bank requested for Seneca account number. (Please note,don't private message me but simply state it on the general forum)

You need a return ticket to access PTA, the only people exempted are those on govt scholarship to study because they would probably have signed a bond to return to their country after their program

philit22:
Do I need to have a return ticket to be able to get PTA??

Just go to online2pdf.com and click on compression
