We had just been told we were making our descent to Frankurt and that the weather was -2 degrees. I immediately grabbed my socks and jacket and got ready. I kept imagining what the weather would feel like while also imagining how the guy beside me was able to masticate all the grass that was served during the flight. The landing was smooth and I disembarked the aircraft at exactly 6.20am. It was quite cold but I expected worse. The shuttle bus immediately took us to the arrival hall.

As we entered the hall, I noticed everyone approach a lady standing at the corner with a long sheet of paper, I followed even though I didn't know why. The guy before me told her he had a special need, she quickly provided a wheel chair and showed him his security clearance gate. I was also shown my clearance gate. So it was good I followed..Lol.

Security checks were concluded and I proceeded to the departure lounge close to my boarding gate to wait out my 7.30hours layover. I had bought a sachet tooth paste in Nigeria and had it docked in my jacket so I went to the bathroom.......
A few hours later, hunger begin ginger, I thought of enduring it because I didn't know if I could make payments with my master debit card but when it was clear I was going to pass out, I went to the food court to look at what they had on display.

I didn't understand some of the things I saw, so to be safe and not end my flight to Toronto in the lavatory, I decided to settle for a bottle of coke and 2 cup cakes(wrong move). As he started punching the amounts on the cash register, I had panic attacks when I saw the total bill stand at 10euros and a fraction. It turned out to be the most expensive bottle of coke and cup cakes I had had in my whole existence as stanbic happily sent a debit alert of 4,680. I paid and angrily left.

At the international airport in Lagos, screening was pretty much straigh forward, my checked in bag weighed 20kg so no English was spoken. Boarding pass issued alongside declaration cards.
I filled and submitted declaration cards to a cheerful lady.
Going through the final check just before proceeding to the departure lounge, the lady asked for my international passport and on sighting the visa category, smiled and said congratulations, I smiled in equal measure and said thank you.

The flight from frankfurt to Toronto was announced and I proceeded to the boarding gate, the lady at the desk asked how I got the visa and the program I applied for. The flight was smooth but just too long. I slept, saw movies. Food kept coming and I continually ignored them after opening the pack. I requested for tea at some point expecting Milo and milk...Lol. na herb tea dem give me drink.

I found something amazing on the Lufthansa flight(don't know if it's the same with other airlines)...the screen has a clock that winds down so you know how much time is left before landing. At exactly 0.00, the plan is on the ground. Anyways, we landed at Pearson at 16.05pm. After the first clearance, presentation and stamping of declaration cards, I was shown to immigration.

The queue at this point wasn't so much but I was on the queue for over 2hours.There were only 2 officials attending to us with the other work stations empty. A lady on the queue fainted after sometime. A couple(both doctors and new immigrants) immediately rushed and started revival procedures. Shortly after, the EMS showed up.

When it was my turn, I presented declaration cards, COPR, passport and I was asked to take a sit. Minutes later, I was called and asked to sign my copy of the COPR after asking if I had been convicted or had other dependents. She now said " you became a permanent resident on 25th Feb 2019" and advised I register for my SIN. That was also concluded at about 8pm.

All the while my friends were waiting for me. I met up with them and immediately I left the airport....the collllllllllllld that greeted me..... I think it was -13 degrees that day. Nobody could explain to me why the cold had cameroun pepper mixed with it. Lol.

We got home and I binged on the jollof rice and barbecue chicken that was kept for me while still bearing in mind I had the last leg of my flight to Halifax the next day.

My flight to Halifax was for 14.55pm. My friend dropped me off at 1pm. I got boarding pass and was chilling at the departure lounge with the Wifi until I heard my surname pronounced in a funny manner. I didnt know that announcement for boarding had long been made and we were 2 left to board. I quickly boarded and not long after, we took off.

We landed Halifax at 6pm, I picked up my bag and went to the currency exchange booth to get some CAD.
Having no friend or family here, I got an airport taxi to take me to my airbnb apartment as my host was already waiting. I was charged 74CAD for a short distance oh. My host showed me to the room and other facilities. The sleep that night was awesome but interestingly, I woke up at 6am Nigerian time.

It's not easy being here without a friend or family as you have to figure out everything yourself but it's been an interesting learning process. I don tire to type, na phone I dey use. More gist coming soon.

Ciao

Hi guys! You guys are doing great work here.

My fiancée is in the process of acquiring a PR in Canada from her family ties ie. Her siblings are PRs. She is currently in Canada with her family on a visitor visa and would remain there until she gets it. I would like to know whether it is possible for me to also get a Canadian PR after we get married or what is the procedure and what are my options being that I am in Nigeria?

That’s no problem once your wife is a PR holder she can apply for you as a dependent

It is the impulsive thing to do. Your supervisor knows more about what you do than a supposed HR that isnt even in your office. Especially if you work in a setting where your J.D is quite fluid, and this is why in many instances, it is a reference from a supervisor that is asked for. Even here in Canada.


However, like you rightly pointed out, the devil is in the details. People go on to falsely assume that this should mean a supervisor could always issue this reference on the company's letter head, without first checking what their firm's policies on this is.

For those who work in smaller firms, they dont need to be bothered about this.

Hello bro, sometimes we might begin to look beyond our passion depending on the circumstances we find ourselves. I know that IT field is also very profitable if you can get into a very good organization or get a job with the government.
There are other short courses or programs you can do, that will impact positively in your career. In my city,engineering is hot cake but you know the reason you don’t want to continue in that field which I respect.

Good afternoon all. I'd like to ask .....Please is it advisable to do my PCC in advance in anticipation of ITA? I'll be out of Nigeria until the end of November and was wondering if I could just have the PCC done so I can scan along with other docs if I get ITA in any of the upcoming rounds.

freshjayy:
Pls seniors in the house for the work reference letter does it need to be addressed to CIC, can’t I just use “to whom it may concern”

Grace135:
Hi everyone,
Urgent, I have been trying to do my PCC UK but all payments options I tried have been declined. I tried foreign visa cards, local visa and master cards but all were declined. For those that their payments option were accepted, pls which card did you use. This has been really frustrating

Homguy:
No. Job experience for the accompanying spouse does not add any points to your CRS score. So you might as well remove it and save madam the stress.

Adunnee:
Hi everyone. For those of us having IELTS Speaking exam today, I pray God grants us favour and crowns our efforts with success.

Meanwhile, I got a second email saying that the venue has been changed to Colonnades Hotel. Is this how they do?

Who has written LRW in Classique Events Centre in Oregun, Lagos? Did BC provide each Candidate with headphones or a central speaker was used for listening?
