Thank you very much for the reply. How do I pay the transmission fee.

Please anybody here who has an idea should respond.

Thanks
How I sent my Passport to Abuja.

I did my Biometrics in Lagos but I sent my passport to Abuja,
So I had to pay a transmission fee of NGN 8,920 to this account
CANADA LOGISTIC COLLECTION ACCOUNT (a/c no 0065165839) sterling bank.

I bought a fresh brown envelope and added the following documents, so follow:

- Your International Passport itself (That your passport !!)

- Print only 1 copy of the transmission fee payment receipt and put in your envelope

- 2 copies of your passport data page (I printed it in colored copy)

- Those stapled papers that was given to you after the completion of your Biometrics (put them as it is [original copy] not the photocopy)

- The PPR letter (1 copy)

- 2 copies of the Consent form (I filled and signed the second page only) . Download the consent from here: https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/dominicanrepublic/pdf/Consent-Form-TTS-English.pdf


- A plain sheet of paper where you can write your address and phone number (this is not really needed though, but I added it)
NOTE: I paid for 2 ways Courier at DHL and insured it to and fro

2 courier means: As I am sending my passport to Abuja, I want Abuja to send back my STAMPED passport to the address I stated on the Courier

I think once visa is approved, you upload to your admission portal and it would be sent to you
Yes, I uploaded the Visa to my admission portal and it was approved but the enrollment was not sent to me automatically and it is not showing in my admission portal, so I sent an e-mail to the school asking for the enrollment letter and I was replied this morning that I will only get it when I arrive in Canada.

from my wifes experience they were adamant about that enrolment letter at the airport and asked at the border as well. if you have completed a semester or have results or anything that proves that you are actively a student print and take to the airport. its not your fault there is nothing you can do about it. the correspondence that says you cannot have enrolment letter until arrival should be used at the airport as well. worst case you will be made to stand on the side for a while while they clarify. it shall end in praise for you and your loved ones.


Nawaoo, Can the print out of the email chat between me and the Senior student recruitment advisor suffice?

My program is going to start by January,2022 and I plan on traveling by December. How did you wife go about it ?

I checked it before. It is the same 1year program(see attached). It is just making me sick and I don’t want to put myself in a tight corner by taking a year program.

Confused!!!


Oh, this is serious, are there no other related course that is in line with your Career path progression ?

Then, kindly print out that mail you sent to school and theirs stating they will only give you an enrolment letter once you land in Canada when going to the airport. If they ask for an enrolment letter at the airport, you now tell them orally about it and show the mail as proof of our verbal reply. Please when printing the mail, ensure the school email address, date of reply, and your email is showing clearly.

Again, if you have enrolled in the class, kindly print a page of your class screen as another proof of enrolment.

My humble opinion though
Thank you so much.

Hello Nairalander and gurus

All efforts to get colleges in Ontario that offers 2 years Post graduates certificate program in Human Resources Management or related courses have prove abortive.

Only Lambton colleges offer 2 years but the course is high, $27500 tuition fees and application fees of $150. It also includes lots of conditions and not available for May and June 2022 intake. Others colleges only have 1year program.

What would you advice me to do?
Check out Niagara college.

Good day my people, my school just told me that they will only give enrollment letter when I lands in Canada, and I have read a lot here that immigration asks for it before boarding and even at the POE, what document can serve as a substitute ?
Or are there cases like this and were they allowed to board without Enrollment letter ?

Please would you advise I send mine to Abuja or Lagos. I reside in Lagos though but I would prefer the fastest route.
Do I have the option of going to their office to submit it if I want to use Lagos
Send to Abuja, you cannot go there in person right now, Send via DHL.

Your worry cannot do anything, so Why Worry ?

Just calm down, they will surely process it, you can send an e-mail to them or call the phone number for their office.

Your passport is definitely going to be stamped, 100%.

Honestly it depends on individual and what you want. For instance, if your intention is to hustle, as in get a job and work for somebody, then Israel no doubt is your best bet, but if you are looking for where you will be your own boss, like establish and manage your own business, then i will advise that you head to Rwanda straight. You could rarely get a job in Rwanda as even the ones available aren't enough for the locals, but business is very great there. Again in Israel jobs are every where, the problem is if you have got enough strength to work.
100% correct.

Landing gist!!! Canada sweet nor be small.

I got to to the airport at about 4:45pm on the 10th of September. I tipped the security at the entrance to allow my husband and cousin in, the guy was just forming activity. When I got in, I was directed to NDLEA to check for drugs, that one too asked for tip. After there, the agricultural people sighted me and asked me to head to their counter because I had one bag of food. What I noticed is that if I wasn’t carrying a Ghana must go back, he wouldn’t have approached me. I paid 2k for the bag.

Then I moved on to the check in queue, mehn see crowd. British airways was fully booked. People traveling to the Uk for school as well were there on that day, I wished I had taken another airline. I stood for 4hrs before it got to my turn. Weighed my bags, everything was under the required weight though I had an extra bag which I paid $210 for. Note; please arrive early on the day of travel, else you stand a chance of missing your flight.

I was asked to show my Covid test, ArriveCAN, enrolment letter, passenger locator form(for BA passengers). Then I waited to get approval from Canada before I was allowed to fly. Approval came about 20mins later. I parted ways with my family, it was so hard leaving them behind especially the girls. Premium tears flowed but this is for the greater good.

Got to immigration and I was asked to go on the fast track because I gave the guy 1k. Went on to board my flight and we took off like 30 mins later. I slept most of the time as it was a night flight. Food wasn’t good at all, biko which one is over cooked garden egg and cheese? Landed in Heathrow, waited for another 8hrs before leaving for Toronto. This time, the food was better, it was rice and chicken something something(forgot the name, hunger dey catch me).

We landed after 7hrs 55mins. We weren’t allowed to get down because the crowd at the airport was much. Long story short, because of the queue, they took all our passports from us and printed our permits without questions.

No tests, nothing for me. Fully vaccinated. Just finished my second class for today. May the land of Canada favour me.

I wish everyone awaiting PPR all the best, you shall all experience this joy. You can reach out to me if you have any questions.

P.S I am chilling in my apartment, so much food from friends and family. Chai, this life sweet.

Congratulations to you, Abeg how did you go about renting a house ?
