LANDING GIST

My flight was scheduled for 10:55 pm on Sunday.

Things requested for at Nigerian airport:
1. Arrive can
2. Stamped visas
3. Enrollment letter
4. Covid 19 test

We finished all checks around 5:pm. Please no matter the time for your flight, try and get to the airport early because the crowd from five ehn!, I wouldn’t have meet up if I went late.

Tickets were printed out, yellow card given as well and passport scanned.

I said final goodbyes to my in-laws around eight and got checked in.

We used Lufthansa, we left 10:55pm and got to Frankfurt after 6 hours. We had layover of about six hours.

At immigration in Vancouver, no cue or crowd at all.
Things asked by immigration:
1. Stamped visas of hubby , I and baby.
2. Hubby’s letter of authorization (the letter sent after your pp has been stamped ).

Today is FRANKROBBN'S birthday!!!!!

Bayelsa and Niger states issues Int'l passports within 3-4hrs of the application. Always target the least traveling states.

It is well with us all NLders.

Ketima:


Really passport issuance in Nigeria na who you know. I believe there is always passport available but na survival of the highest bidder ( who pays highest) and who you know it the system. I stand to be corrected though.

TransferWise if installed and linked to the card would land the fund directly into the account after few hours.

Thanks, but I think that only works for naira.[/quote]

Congratulations. Please did you apply from Nigeria?

Jayrealest:

But I went through a lot to get it and finally submit it through web form).


My application was done in a rush to beat time cause when I applied, the IRCC website was saying 19 weeks for processing time. When I joined nairaland, I was seeing 8 weeks processing time so I got confused. After submitting my Police certificate via webform, people were advising not to wait to medical request, so I went to do mine. The wait was long. I nearly gave up… but August 7, on a Saturday morning I saw people were getting ghost updates on their profile. I went to check mine and I saw my eligibility had started. My hope and faith were restored. Another wait started… lol I was thinking after eligibility I’ll get feedback within a week or two but nah… it took a month! I sent webforms, emails, mailed some MPs too lol. Finally on Thursday no 9th of September it landed… all this while I was like when I get this PPR, I will dance ehn. Sometimes I practice the dance in front of the mirror but when it landed I was speechless.. I couldn’t even do my dance lol. I’m still grateful to God Almighty.

Malaria is transmissible bro. An infected anopheles during the bite, some portion of the already infected blood in its mid gut drips down through the proboscis into the uninfected person, hence, the uninfected blood gets attacked.

It's no big deal OK. It has hindered my visa process sometime in Asia but it might not matter in your case.

SOLUTION
Please go get some Azithromycin a.k.a Zitromax/ CiproTab a.k.a Ciprofloxacin for typhoid, Artesunate for Malaria, ask the pharmacist to add some paracetamol and blood caps. After 5days you're SET. Though abroad you must have a doctors prescription but in Naija its easy.

Hubmon360:
I doubt it can as it's not a transmittable disease.

Wonderful. Congratulations.

Looking forward to your timeline & checklist if you don't mind.

PPR REQUEST FOR I AND MY FAMILY!! I, MY HUBBY AND 3 KIDS!!
I WILL BE BACK SOON FOR MORE INFO.. I AM OVER HAPPY NOW!!!!1

Hello Lekiboboe, greetings. Please help, I learnt it's hard to have SP approved with colleges in the Atlantic (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, New Foundland and Prince Edward Island) as they have the cheapest colleges around. Please advise, and if there's any NSCC or NBCC student/applicant please advise.

Thanks

Lekiboboe:

Fantabolous Landing Gist. Wish you undeniable exploits in Canada

From my 12yrs travel experience, YOU HAVE NO ISSUE since none of those drugs is considered a therapeutic stimulant/psychotropic. They're antibiotics and pain killer within therapeutic dosage.

recxa:
Hi guys, how do you guys travel with medication? I've been on medication for H. Pylori bacteria (caused ulcer) for two months now and have a month left to go. Just looking at the medicine makes me cringe cuz they might raise eyebrows. Do you have to declare these drugs

Ulcer drugs
Amoxicillin 500mg for 2 weeks(twice daily)
Clarithromycin 500.g for 2 weeks(twice daily)
Omeprazole 40mg for 1 month(once daily)

Then I have azithromycin for sore throat and felvin with buscopan for menstrual cramps(I would faint without them)

I also have Panadol extra cuz I suffer from migraines. I have other supplements that I use for my migraines too: Magnesium 500mg for 90 days(but I've used from it), gingko biloba 90 days

I have cranberry extract supplement, my reload women multivitamin 30 days, vitamin D3,(90 days) Vitamin C 500mg for 1 month+, vitamin C 1000mg+15mg zinc effervescent tablets(like 8 tabs left).

I have day and night nurse for flu, and ibuprofen.

Seems like a lot lol

I don't have an original doctors note from the hospital I was diagnosed (for the bacteria or migraine) but I have the Rx note from the pharmacist I bought the antibiotics from (after I ran out of the ones provided by the hospital) including azithromycin, felvin and buscopan.

Oh and I have my allergy meds too (don't wanna be caught unawares lol)

What do you guys think?

That's awesome.

Please are you on study or residence permit in Germany?

Did you sit for the IELTS?

fluxyn:
Hey hey. I just joined this chat some days. I live in Germany ( got my masters here) and going for fully funded PHd.
August 26: submitted applications
August 30: biometrics appoint and uploaded
August 31: passport request

Ps. My spouse just got her biometrics letter today.

Thank you so much Frankrobbn1. You're really amazing. I'm grateful.

Remain blessed

Frankrobbn1:



The economic ties can be in your home country while you apply from abroad. The letter of explanation should be centered on coming back to your home country to make profitable use of your assets and investments in Nigeria and nothing else. More so, if you don't have a valid study permit, work permit or a permanent resident of the country where you currently reside in overseas, you may have to return home to apply for your Canadian study visa.



It will end in praise

Hello NL Think-Tanks (Frankrobbn1, Lekiboboe, JustMellow e.t.c). I am based abroad but all my assets to demonstrate economic hometie are in Naija. Can I use them to apply abroad or must have to return to apply in Naija?

Please, anyone with tangible ideas is also welcome to advice on this matter as one wouldn't want to make such a hefty mistake.

Thanks in advance

Hi JustMellow, you've been one of the most responsive NLder since I joined. Please I had earlier pled to have just a preamble of the SOP/LOE but none seemed to have seen my message. I beg help me on that OK. Also, the respective application forms to fill for a family Canada Visa application.

Na gode

JustMellow:

elenewton1:
Hi. For the SOP, find the attached sample/template below.
All the best.

Wonderful of you JustMellow.

You've just tossed the coin with precision. I've just managed to get the registrar's official email and his sec's contact number. I've sent them a Request Letter to forward my Official Transcript to the U of M as necessary. Looking forward to hearing from them with the week, hopefully.

Thanks and remain blessed.

JustMellow:


Hello Johnmark247,

Without the transcript, U of M may not finalize the processing of your admission without an official transcript, or a tangible reason why it should be processed on the ground of issuing a "conditional admission" letter that needs fulfilling before course registration and/or class start.

Since the inability to get your official transcript is due to Covid-19 related obstructions, send screenshot evidence of the reach-out email sent to your graduate school coupled with an explanatory reason of school closure as the challenging factor hindering the accessibility of your official transcript.

It will be deliberated on by the graduate committee and may most likely be granted and considered for a conditional offer letter. Share the correspondence of the plea for a temporary "transcript" waiver with the international admissions office, your program coordinator, and department administrative secretary.

Best of Luck

Hello Lawfree638, BackCheck and all other NL Gurus.

Please I'm on my Credit Transfer with the U of M. They've just updated my portal demanding the official Transcript from my former institution in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia be sent directly to them as attached here with, after I had uploaded the copy issued to me on completion of the program. Now I've been trying to contact the institution but they're temporarily closed due to the lockdown still in place.

Please, what do I do differently? Is there any one whom had similar constraint? If yes, how was it resolved? Gurus please help.

Thanks I advance, as I await a candid advice.

lawfree638:


It's usually the last thing done before the Senior V.O picks up your file for decision.

Your file is almost at the last phase.

I meant;

1. did you submit via VFS or NSE?

2. when you submitted your visa application, did you submit any English proficiency proof? Such as IELTS or TOEFL?

lolathegenie:
you mean when i submitted my visa application?
this is for my passport to be stamped.

Great move. Fire down.

Please, if not mistaken, you did a regular submission through the VFS, did you submit any IELTS or TOELF? As I heard it's not mandatory on the regular application - VFS.

Please respond

lolathegenie:
I just got this email from VFS Global.

'Your application has been received at the Canada Visa Application Centre, Abuja OC on 8/6/2021 11:18:02 AM and is in transit to the IRCC Office in Abuja OC for processing.'
Even though i received a mail that my passport has been received at the Lagos IRCC office.

Congratulations. Your RESILIENCE has paid off! The V.Os must have absconded to your incessant visa requests. "Never say never". At times stubbornness is good oo ������

STRICK00:
HELLO EVERYONE I HAVE BEEN A SILENT READER ON THIS PLATFORM


HELP ME REJOICE, MY PPR JUST DROPPED ON MY 6TH APPLICATION

I HAVE BEEN IN TEARS SINCE 5am WHEN I SAW THE UPDATE

I WILL COME BACK TO SHARE MY STORY

Congratulations.

Please do you mind helping with the list of documents you and family submitted?

Kkddyit:
Hi all. My visa was approved with my spouse and kids two weeks ago and we plan travelling by month end. Must I get a travel exempt authorization letter for them before they are allowed to board. And if yes, please what is the process.

I need some clarifications in this area pls...

Thanks all.

A bunch of thanks brother. Remain blessed.

shupy:

Don't waste your time writing the exam. It is not an an essential requirement. If you're requested to submit one, just write a letter stating available dates for the exam goes way beyond the deadline. And that they should proceed with the processing of your application.
NSE requirements didn't make any significant difference in the processing time for a lot of applicants. Just make sure you submit MyBankStatement certificate along with your application.

But some Universities never stated the IELTS as a requirement? Does it mean student visa applications without IELTS are rejection bound even when not part of the admissions requirements? More so, is the IELTS a MUST for both NSE and VFS normal submissions or just for the NSE?

Please gurus do advice. Thanks

ehisforever24:
Sorry to hurt feelings it will, take another test, IELTS and POF is the main thing when applying for student visa.

Congratulations.

Do you mind helping us with your submitted docs and SOP sample please.

Hello Nairaland

I do not know how to begin this post, but na God go help me.


First, I want to say a big Thank You to Vicky. I dunno your moniker but you know yourself. Thank You for helping reach out to the family here on my behalf. I really appreciate you for that!

Next I'll like to appreciate the entire Nairaland family for the show of love. Omohh e no easy. My heart is full of so much gratitude to every single one of you.

No need to make this a long post abeg
Ending of April no funny for me atall
Robbed on April 25
Application denied on April 27.
It was even more painful as I had to view it on my PC screen. The thing just bold for my face.

Hehe
Regardless, I give all the glory to God. It was a really long wait, and it was worth every single second of it.
Thank You to everyone here who in one way or the other contributed to my application.

Here's my Timeline.

Got admitted to Uom to study International Business in October, 2020

Application Submitted - Dec 16
Biometrics completed - Dec 22
NSE Request Letter - Dec 24
Upfront Medicals. - March 24
Medicals Updated. - April 12
Letter of Refusal. - April 27

My application was processed via the normal route. I was denied based on Personal Assets blah blah, cos I know I finished them with my SOP godi.

I'm back now and willing to help as many as I can on this journey or lemme just say application
I'm willing to go through as many SOPs as I can.
I'm ready to answer as many questions as possible.
Let's all get involved in any little way we can.
For Charles Dickens says, "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another"

My advice to everyone who's yet to apply or waiting for a decision?
Please do not be scared. I know it sounds impossible but on the long run you'll discover your fear and worry doesn't change anything.
If your application was denied, don't give up too. Keep refiring until you hit your target.

I wish everyone awaiting PPR good news in the shortest possible time.

Believe me when I say this..

It will end in Praises!

What do you think they do with the blood samples in the EDTA (Purple lid) test tube. You better ask well please. If yellow fever card could cause you missing a flight, what more Malaria. I've had issues on Malaria with another country's visa application. But just generally made my point.

You'll be shocked they do drugs tests too. �

PatrickOkunima:


Malaria? Are you sure about that?

- STDs and STIs
- Malaria
- Communicable diseases e.g Tuberculosis

CuriousX:
What can make somebody fail medical? Can serious ulcer, BP or Asthma cause one to fail medicals? What are they looking for during medicals. Thanks
