Landing gist
I used Ethiopian airways on arrival at the airport in Abuja I was asked for my ticket print out my arrive can and Covid test with my passport. After that I went to get checked in, my bags were a little over weigh so I paid 50 dollars, then I got checked in normals.
Got to Ethiopia my layover was just 1hr not much but the security checks were a lot had to keep removing my shoe Mtchewww.
Then got into the plane and started a really long trip of 16hrs I almost ran mad
Finally reach Toronto went through one self declaration stuff just declare what you have scan passport answer some questions finish get your print out and head to one of the officials.
The official will ask what you have tell her she’ll write it down then you move on to study permit, now I’m upset about this part I had a list of the requirements made stupid copies guess what they only asked for the correspondence letter gave me my study permit and I was off to get my box, they didn’t waste my time at all . Got my box went to get tested for Covid then I was done
I now had an 8hr layover to my final destination I was hungry and tired
Got to Thunder Bay ah the cold is on press up oh it’s intense, cab services rubbish I sha got to my residence we thank God

Regrets
I wish I carried palm oil �� and more Yaji
I didn’t carry my cloths cause of excess luggage I’m really sad about it
The so called long layover wasn’t soo necessary I wish I used another airline the flight was too long

Pros
.I bought a lot of winter cloths if I didn’t I would have died
.I carried Indomie it saved my life

Cons
.Everything is just expensive food,cab but that one is there business they can’t discourage me oh
.If you have other options use another airline

LANDING GIST!

I just landed in Canada few hours ago via Ethopian airlines from Lagos Airport.

I registered on arrive can, switch health, and printed all documents before arriving Lagos airport.
The guy who pushed my trolley attempted to scam me 7500 for yellow card, amongst other scams, but I remembered narrations on nairaland so I didn’t fall for any. I didn’t spend any money during the journey, but you can give tips as the Spirit leads.

After showing my passport, I passed my bags through the machine just near the Lagos airport door. I then went straight to Ethiopian airlines check-in counter admist the crazy queue. Those check-in staff are not smiling, be prepared with your documents make them nor delay you.
My bags didn’t exceed the limit & I suggest you go at least 4-5 hours before the flight just incase.

After about 4 more security checks, I boarded & arrived addis ababa some hours later where I was able to use the free airport wifi to update loved ones. Ethiopian airlines was ok, nothing bad to say. It was a long flight & having to seat for so long in such confined space does a number on the body.

Arrived Toronto Pearson quite early in the morning & I think that plays a role in how relaxed the airport & staff were as I wasn’t subjected to much questioning. Having all documents on hand in paper really helps. Make sure you’re organized & calm, your documents may speak for you & questions were minimal to none in my case. Don’t be afraid to ask polite questions when looking for directions or clarity.

Since I registered with switch health, I was directed to a shorter queue for arrival covid test which was the last stop before finally exiting the airport. I didn’t pay for the test & I wasn’t told anything about quarantine. I am fully vaccinated & wore my mask & sanitized at all times cos I don’t want a positive covid test result. It didn’t really snow much at the time I arrived, however it is cold here.

Hey kindly respond to your mail
I have some questions regarding arrive can and switch health
Also flying with Ethiopian airways
Thank you

No more paper Form A transaction. It is now electronic. You are now the invincible officer to initiate it online on the new TRMS website. This is the new policy from CBN that was rolled out in November 2021. You have to create an account on the TRMS portal using your BVN and the email or phone number associated with the BVN to receive OTP. If the BVN is recognized but no email or phone number is associated with it, then it means you have to go to court to get affidavit to update your BVN email and phone number

I am aware of all this I just wanted to know what bank processes faster because although you do it online it is still processed by the bank

Please can someone respond to me

I also had to send web forms for my Medicals to be updated, I also request for gcms notes cause I saw someone say it makes them remember you… aha my 6k lol, just because my school resumption date was soo close and I felt I had given them enough time I started sending mails to Nairobi and lagos every morning for like 3 days before my visa was approved.

I know you might be thinking why so late I started working on my application early but my agent and I had a miscommunication he thought I wanted may Intake not knowing I wanted January. We resolved that and started working towards it but I had difficulties with my form a and other issues hence the delay. I know there is nothing God can’t do, I want to be an asset to Canada not a nuisance which is why I know God got me.

You guys it’s ppr I’m shaking
