NGOZIGLORI: Nope your luggage will not be ransacked at any time. Once your main luggage are checked in you will be left with only your carry-on till you arrive at Toronto airport. The yellow card is given to you by immigration to fill your details. It's not purchased. Please go along with all the necessary documents, what others were asked for may not be what you will be asked. *Letter of introduction *Passport/visa *Letter of acceptance *POF *Evidence of the accommodation you plan to stay *Any school fees payment receipts *Valid E-medical sheet.

nowornever9: Once I open an account here after the pub holiday, funds will be wired via form A to the account. It's different from PTA/BTA and school fees payment. One can only apply once a yr now due to FX issues. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Winnerpoks: I changed part to usd and funded my dom account so i could use my usd card. I did not want to carry cash and be worried about change. I plan on apply for Form A - upkeep maintenance so i can use bank rate for the rest (upkeep maintenance is now once a year). At POE i was asked for only my letter of introduction and visa. Nah, i dont know any one schooling at centennial. I booked an airbnb online before my departure. (book early so you can get it cheap). 1 Like |

Adexchelsea19: You will need at least a 2'1 to get admission for masters in most universities/colleges. I'm sure that's why you were advised to go for a PGD |

mizchoco: *At immigrations in Canada I was only asked if I brought meat. I said no and I was handed my study permit. * I applied in July, was approved in Nov. * Used the new portal cos I did not want to fill those Pdf forms on the old Portal. * Non accompanying siblings/fam members are good home ties, ensure you upload anything linking you to them. (Pictures, birth certificates etc) * I can't tell if they will be contacted or not. Cheers. 3 Likes |

Landing gist.... Everything from my admission to my arrival in Canada was my first attempt and I thank God for his grace. My flight departure time was 1:40pm, it was moved to 1:20pm and I didn't know till I arrived at the airport, thankfully I was there 4 hrs to the time. See crowd (people dey really comot naija o) the place be like island market, noisy, ridiculously small, hot and unorganized. Got in with fam members who came to see me off and firstly the scanner did not work for several minutes. When it finally worked/scanned my bags, I headed to the airline saying excuse me up n down so I could pass the crowd. Omo despite all my arrangements the bags were 30kg each instead of 23kg each, na there I begin bargain for the excess luggage and had to settle them before I was able to check-in the bags. From there to immigration and customs, they were very fast, I only submitted my passport/tickets and filled the yellow card. We left Lagos 40mins late cos everybody wan board at the same time, dem just dey shout *queue up, single line* but e no work. We sha boarded and damn those Ethiopian airline crew ladies fine sha. My first flight experience and first international flight, I just dey happy dey smile like cow. Food served was actually good just that dem wan use rice choke person. Lunch and dinner na rice every time throughout all the flights. Flight was good, got to Addis Ababa and mehn come see airport na, large, organized and finally people come queue. We did the usual scanning and routine search and joined the next flight after 2hrs layover. The descending flight at Dublin was the worst, my head wan explode, my belle just dey turning on ein own. It was as though we were falling instead of descending. After an hour of refueling we flew to Toronto from there. Flight to Toronto was good, we arrived and met the large beautiful airport. See crowd of first time students. I could count the blacks/Nigerians, the rest were Indians/Asians. We queued, did self declaration (arrive-can was useless) and In a few minutes we were issued our student permits (it's usually the entire duration of the visa/length of program). Got out of the airport to pick an Uber and it was as though I walked into a deep freezer lol, I immediately wore my winter jacket ontop of the sweater I was wearing, wore my hand gloves and I was fine. Canada is large and beautiful. Tarred roads, the express had like 10 lanes each. I was debited for the Uber ride immediately I booked unlike naija where you are billed after your ride. The driver Even stopped to buy fuel (in my mind if na naija now u fit stop dey buy fuel when my trip dey read?) If I could do this myself, I believe anyone can and I pray that everyone still praying and hoping on God will smile at the end. 73 Likes 4 Shares |

gaeul: It will not be as exorbitant as mallam rate tho. Official rate is roughly N454/$1, theirs may be over N500 depending on what their rate would be for the day you make your payment. I think you should contact them on the date you want to make payment to know their rate for that day |

gaeul: Except you're paying with a naira card that still has access to USD transactions, you will not be paying at bank rate. Alternatively, you can visit their physical office and make a bank transfer to them from your mobile app. I did that with Ethiopia airline. (Naira equivalent of the amount) it would not be at bank rate tho |

chigozieevans: Yes you can. Only be ready to prove to immigration your reasons for early arrival. Reasons like these will fly: *You will be staying with family to get acclimatized with Canada before your classes resume. *You have health insurance to cover you before classes resume. (The one covered by your school only kicks in when your classes resume) *You have enough POF. Good luck. |
