To those who travelled of recent,
What bag did you use to pack your foodstuffs or which is advisable?

How were you able to protect the bag containing the foodstuffs (so as to avoid anyone tampering with it to the extent of putting hard drugs exhibit)?

Are there foodstuffs that are not allowed?

Any other additional information as regards this question would be appreciated

Gracias

Anyone used Lagos vfs office recently for PPR?

Yes, luck can play out at times but not for everyone. The quite interesting thing is that, I have seen 2 people who are B.SC holders, that applied for another B.SC and even got their Visa Approved, but it's just like 2 out of 100.

The problem is, most applicants (B.SC holder going for another B.SC) might not be able to justify why they are going for another B.Sc

Is better to play safe going for a program with career/academic progression, so one won't waste admission & visa application fee waiting for an approval that might be 50/50 etc.

This name (printed) part…should it be typed or written?

Good morning,
Visa Application wise, there is an 85% red flag on a Visa Application of a BSC holder going for another BSC in Canada. A Visa officer won't find it convincing

Age wise: if you are less than 24 years old, it's not advisable for you to go for a B.SC degree, age 17-24 is like the basic age to apply for a B.SC

Career/Academic Progression wise
In your best interest, if you have a minimum of 2.1 (without any obvious study gap), it's logical for you to go for for an MSC program related to what you studied as an undergraduate. You can also go for an PG.Cert in a Program you have work experience in despite having a 2.1

If you have a 2.2, go can go for a PG. Cert. in a program related to your work experience , you can also go for a PG. Cert related to your Degree if there is no obvious study gap

Await more response from the gurus and other members of this platform

My school (university of Manitoba) does not require that I pay my fees before issuing unconditional admission letter.

So I didn’t submit any receipt of fee payment for my study application. Is this a red flag?

dammy135:

oh! Are you serious? That's sweet. Let me read it. Thanks

Hello everyone,
I read earlier that non-vaccinated travelers will no longer need the 3 days mandatory hotel stop over from August 9, 2021.

Unfortunately I have booked for mine last week Tuesday and I read that the payments for my hotel reservation are non-refundable, what do you y’all suggest I do now.

Ps: I’ve booked my flight for August 18th.

EmeeNaka:
Who said Non- Vaccinated travellers would not need hotel stop over? It's a lie. Even if you are fully Vaccinated, you must book for the hotels and show the evidence at your point of entry, otherwise you will pay about $CAD 5000. The decision to or not be eligible for exemption is the prerogatives of the officers at the Point of Entry, it's not automatic.

Hello Everyone,
For those who did their Medicals at IOM Lagos.

Is it a must to pay physically through a Standard Chartered Bank Branch for the Medical Appointment or would a Mobile Bank transfer suffice?

There's currently no Standard Chartered Bank Branch close-by and I would be entering Lag on a weekend against my appointment on a Monday.

JoshM23:
Hello good day guys, based on the new rules is it okay to travel one month before program start date?

CHIKACIC:
@Jeff5gold, that is for COVID test. @AyaE is asking for info in respect of COVID vaccination.

AyaE:
Hi guys
Please does anyone have information on where to collect covid vaccination in lagos? I'm hearing its only given to healthcare workers and others have to 'runs' it. Please any information (including cost and what to expect at the centre) would be helpful.
Thanks.

Good evening Nairalanders,

How long does it take to receive LOI and Counterfoil after Visa has been stamped on passport.

Thanks

patty10:
Please all those that received their correspondence letter and original passport request the same day, can you check and see the address in your correspondence letter if it’s from Nariobi visa office? I just want to make sure that I haven’t been waiting for more than 3weeks after receiving a correspondence letter because my letter came from nariobi because I heard they are slow there. I just want to clear this doubt.

Jenge:
Thanks a lot for your response ...but I think I didn't communicate my question clearly..
So I did not do upfront medicals actually....

In May, I booked a date for medicals for 16th July 2021........... The request from IRCC dropped on 28th June 2021 so I just waited for the date I already booked and went for the medicals with the form IRCC sent....

After the test, the hospital gave me the Emedical information sheet......So do I still need to send it to IRCC or the hospital will send my results

Godsblessings:
Are you sure of this, pls ? What if , they do medical and nothing showed up cos I expected medical request to be sent to them as usual or has the process changed?

Hello guys,

Any ideas how to transport myself from toronto international airport to my final destination since I am not required to quarantine because I am fully vaccinated?

maralina:
Anyone going to Toronto August 2nd? Via Turkish airlines.
And is there a group chat for people going to Ontario?

OmaJoe1:
Good evening Nairalanders,

Is there an expiry time for visa after it has been issued? I mean is there a timeframe for one to travel after passport has be stamped and returned?

Thanks in anticipation for a response.

Mrsecman:
Hi guys,

I have a question, please. I will be travelling from Lagos to Canada and have layovers in two Schengen countries (France and Amsterdam). Someone said I would need a visa to transit in between two Schengen countries. How true is this? Have you ever had layovers in two European countries before connecting to Canada or the USA?

I will appreciate it if anyone can confirm this. Thanks

Joymusa:

Hello guys,

I will be travelling to Canada on a Monday and arriving in Canada on a Tuesday. I am in a dilemma about when I should do my covid test. If I do it on Friday afternoon, by monday afternoon, 72 hrs would have elapsed. Is there any covid testing center that operates on Satuday or Sunday?

If yes, how much do they do the covid test ?
