LANDING GIST!

I greet u all in the name of Visas and student permit

So as life don do me strong thing for naija(lost every thing I had) I come decide dec 21 2019 when my immediate elder brother de go London say e be like I need to ja o.

My brother used an agent and I met the guy at the airport that day. We exchanged contact and the rest was history.
So, feb 2020, I contacted him and we started my processing. He did everything but along the line, when I was itching to know details, I was told I can get info on Nairaland which was how I came here.

Fast forward to 20th of November, the ups dispatch rider called that he was at my gate to deliver my passport and that was how preparations started o

With all the informations I gathered here and outside I book Qatar airline for the 24th of Dec. I got to the airport early around 11am but had to wait for my FAAN friend to take me and my brother in cos me no get shi shi to give any airport officials. He came late and we finally entered the airport around 2pm. Normal as I don late the queue don long reach jericho. I sha secured a spot(naija way) and went ahead to weigh my luggage. Ghen ghen! Luggage excess like say na exile I de go. Na so we start to see what and what I can remove o but at the end of the day, I figured I needed everything so I decided to pay for the extra 23kg which was N106k. It was a process to pay and by the time I was done, they were already saying boarding will start in the next hour. Well, I paid, went inline again and it finally got to my turn and the officials had to do the normal confirmation. So, instead of waiting I come go change naira to 500 dollars cos I didn’t carry anything before but i figured i might need cash when I land even though I had paid for everything for my quarantine. I got back and the official passed me, I went ahead to get my boarding pass... dude was just shouting up and down because i carried back pack and another hand luggage which was more than 9kg. Naim i tell d guy say, so after i paid 106k for extra luggage u still want me to tip u? Nahhhh e no go happen and if I miss my flight, e go know say I be real edo girl. He sha started laughing from no where and said ok anything na, naim i tip the guy 1k then told him to give me window seat which he did. Na so we start to run to immigrations to clear us before we go board o. Got there, dropped my filled yellow card and they only asked me for the arrive can app and I was cleared. I was among the last 10 – 20 pple that entered the plane cos the luggage matter took my whole time #phew

I got in, plane was so niceeeeee , settled down and in like 30 minutes we were up in the sky
Plane was nice nice, food de roll even though na cold bland rubbish, I chop am like dat de visit toilet to offload and get ready for another upload. Few hours into the flight I noticed pple were holding their phones, I asked and was told there was WiFi and I was like Ogbara Jesus!!!! I quickly brought out my phone and that was how I connected o and was chatting with my family(Omg! It was so nice). I saw a movie and later slept. 10hrs later we were in doha and as we were coming down we were boarding the next flight to montreal. So, in all we spent about an hour in doha and off we go again. Plane was nice nice and it was same thing with the chopping, shitting, wifi, movies, sleeping. Even though this was the longest flight of my life, I didn’t feel it much cos of the services on the plane. Na my family just de shout say u never reach? I was chilling and enjoying myself.

We finally got to montreal(beautiful airport) and we went straight to declaration and from there to the CBSA stand where I was asked what I came for, my LOA and arrive can app. The officer then asked me to refill my info on the app cos I wasn’t exempted. Apparently, I made a mistake while filling it before. Anyways, I refilled and refilled until he took me to another officer, explained to her and was told I need to fill the form manually. I did and was directed to immigrations where I was asked only for my passport, why i was in canada, LOA and LOE. She then asked how much I am carrying and i told her 500 dollars and my atm cards(Kobo no de the cards o.... na mind I cross take handle this part like this o plus God was just on my side). I gave her the letters asked for and in few seconds, she got up, printed, stamped my student permit and welcomed me to Canada.

Oh my connecting flight to calgary was cancelled. I got to know this when I went to pay for my extra luggage in naija. I was angry but mehnnn na make I just comot I de reason cos I know when I get into canada I will sort myself. So when I got in, I went to the air canada stand to confirm my flight which was the next morning cos I no trust naija. Well, it was confirmed and the official were so angry on my behalf that Qatar should provide me with where to stay for the night atleast. For my mind make una no worry oooo I don enter be say I don enter. I told them I will go to Qatar to ask but Omo! Before I waka the airport finish 10pm don nack na so I come back to air canada stand area, saw 2 pple chilling and I just jeje took myself there, arrange and lie down, chatting and video calling my family. I was able to stay the night like that till the next morning and at about 5am I went to check in for my flight which was for 7am. We started boarding at about 15mins to 7. This time, I was among the first 5 pple to enter the plane this was where it dawned on me that I was in another land cos I was the only black person on that plane. I said wow for like 2 min straight cos it really hit me o. Anyways, plane jet off and I just slept cos I was tired as Bleep! I woke up a little bit relaxed, watched a movie that didn’t finish and after 5hrs we were in calgary! At about 10:15am on the 26th of Dec. Omg! It was so white and beautiful. I got out, got my kaya, called my school cab and in like 1min the cab guy was in front. The cold was much o but because of all the gist I don hear, I was well dressed o. Na ogbonge jacket i wear so I no feel the cold much. The car was heated so it was a smooth ride. The Indian rider was nice and was gisting me all through the ride. We got to my school residence and in no time I was in my room. Nice place but the food na wa eeee. No pepper but as God will have it, a nice guy from my school whatsapp group helped me got some few stuff so I cook better pepper jollof wey I de use de balance my taste buds. The residence wan use their kinda food kill person sha. Although, apart from the food, I’m good good. I got in, settled and paid my tuition few days ago cos I only paid tuition deposit of 1750 Canadian dollars but I’ve paid my term tuition now and waiting for school to resume Jan 11th.

P.S cagary is beautiful and i can’t wait to explore!

MadeMan01:

Ayobami2001:
Hi

Im traveling in January for winter semester and I have already completed my fall semester from here in Nigeria.

1. No, you don’t need to have paid your full tuition.

2. Just hold the tuition deposit receipt. It shows you have confirmed your place at the school.

3. I haven’t paid the tuition of winter semester but I was still given my enrollment letter. You just have to register your courses for the semester and you will get your enrollment letter.

4. Don’t take risks, just have an enrollment letter at hand no matter the airline you flying with. I have seen it is also asked for at immigration in Canada.

I hope my answers helps to clarify your questions.

Na real Afghanistan hahahaha .....I'm using qatar too ooo

Blavkmaann:



My dear, I just booked my flight this morning


I booked Qatar airways
Is cheap so I’m scared they shouldn’t go and carry me t Afghanistan

I book on hold sha

Good afternoon guys, hope everybody is doing fine

Please o I have few questions

1). Must you pay your full tuition before travelling?

2). Are they asking tuition receipt from pple who have started schooling from Nigeria or is it applicable to everyone even though u are starting school in january? I only paid tuition deposit and my school has not said anything about me paying my full tuition. I even mailed them about it but no response

3) for pple who are to resume in jan and haven't paid their tuition, in other words, haven't gotten their enrollment letter will it be a problem?

4). Has anyone who used another airline to get to Canada bn asked for the enrollment letter? Cos it seems it's only pple using Ethiopian airline that has shared this experience.


Please, abeg make una help me answer these questions. Make person for know wetin to do bikonu

Infact ehn! I still de find who de go and I haven't seen anybody here going to SAIT...... I'm just feeling one kind but God is in control sha. I know this

ConradAce1:

It's bn a long ride but we bless God for everything. I wish all hopefuls success from here on out. I can't wait to read about the delivery of ur passport/Visa


The way I wan take JAKPA ehn! OMG!!!

Kimkalash:
Mine hasn't but if so, then you should contact the VAC asap.

Thank you! Yes my status has changed to approved since the 9th

Kimkalash:
By the way, has your status changed to "Approved?". If so, then you could guess so

Dear Nairalanders, please I need help to understand what this means.

I just tracked my passport on the website now and it says my passport has bn collected from the canada visa application centre lagos on 17th. I'm worried because somebody we submitted passport together, paid for passport return same day collected hers yesterday. So I want to know if this means UPS already has my passport.

P.S I'm using an agent for my application and I haven't gotten my LOI and counterfoil details at least, so he says

Yayyyyy! So happy for you. Please have you gotten ur counterfoil details and letter of introduction?

MOKENN:


I want to confirm to us that VFS Lagos is honouring return envelopes. I just got an update from DHL that they've picked up my parcel for delivery. I am expecting it before the end of tomorrow.

Ha! How true is this o

It’s on their website. I don’t know if I can post the link here.
Under VFS services, you’ll see Courier service then Courier services available at the Visa Application Centre for return of your passport at the address provided, there’s a link to the table.[/quote]

MrsFavour2020:

You may want to wait until Monday before booking. I live close to VFS and I can tell you that everywhere is in chaos. No one knows for sure what will happen.

You have to wait for this chaos to die down before booking. All the best
