Omo, this one everyone is travelling with it, it doesn't seem compulsory except in lagos airport so I guess we might need to get one.



Asin ehn, that's why I keep asking for recent travellers cos the ones I'm seeing left Nov and like first week in Dec.
They may have just added it to their documents but doesn't mean it was requested of them.

I just wish someone can really clarify this.

Asking again no vex.
For recent travellers hope COVID vaccine/card was not compulsory.
As strict as masks were when I did biometrics at vfs in July, I went to retrieve my ppt in Nov and no one was wearing nose masks even though those touts hanging around scared people in buying one.

Hi. To anyone that travelled recently, did you carry palm oil

Liquid is not allowed, it will be confiscated.
Some people say freezing it solid would suffice but for how long will it stay solid.
We had the option to retrieve my brother's own before it was seized.

Landing gist

i got my ppr on the 23rd of sept. i'm so glad I booked my flight (8 dec) that same day because i got the best deal on Ethiopian airline.

Flight time from Abuja airport to Addis Ababa was 1:30 pm. Due to delay we left at 20 mins to 2 pm or there about.

I took some food items. I wish i took more because i didn't pass through bag checking and weighing wahala. An insider intervene for me (someone i know).

I only paid for wrapping of my luggage

Not a bad experience for first timer on an aero plane

Food served were good through out the journey

Travel documents
flight ticket
covid 19 vaccination card
Admission letter
passport
letter of introduction
fee payment receipt
No enrollment since my enrollment start on the 12th
No arrive can filled***

At the Abuja Air port i only submitted passport, covid 19 card and flight ticket

My cream(500ml) was confiscated at Addis ababa. i was told that they don't allow any liquid substance above 100ml on the flight. so don't put those things in carry on bag.

Nothing much in Dublin since we didn't alight the plane. Just stopped for some maintenance and refuel though it took longer than usual due to shortage of man power because of the weather.

Eventually, i was live in canada on friday 9 dec at 9:20am local time. Massive airport, naija na joke among the three airports. I sharply connected to the wifi reached out to my elder brother and a dear friend who has been engine oil to these processes. Joined the long queue it was fast though because there are lot of self declaration machines. Scanned my passport and answered the questions that followed. Afterward i was directed to the study permit unit. Load of us were there for that, so they one requested for letter of introduction (that letter received after passport is stamped). Not so much time taken study permit and work permit for courses with coop were issued. I quickly saw an officer who signed on my passport with some details fro the two piece of documents after receiving mine.

omo we don set ooo, i waka go search for my loads. then head straight to meet my brother. we hug each other he don tey wey i don see this lovely guy.

Around dat area he quickly help me got my fido sim. as we reach outside the weather of canada give me a serious handshake.

I jam my friend outside hug the baba. We jumped into car. They where prepared before i landed. They carry me go do my SIN menh this saved me from some expenditure. Transport na wahala here as my bro no dey this province.

It has been a smooth journey. Thanks to Jehovah God

Those on their way and those coming soon safe flight.

Those waiting on IRCC please don't loose hope. Jehovah will always come through for you

To the person who deleted my testimony on my PPR earlier on this account(timagbo) I won't lie to my self. EVERYTHING ABOUT MY APPLICATION WAS PURSUED THROUGH BY JEHOVAH GOD. FIRST APPLICANT AND NO AGENT BUT WAS CLOSELY GUIDED BY A VERY SMART PERSON

Picture and Video attached are of DUBLIN landscape during the early hour of the morning

Congratulations is in order.

I recall that moniker @timagbo when those two nuisance were derailing this thread, I think that's when your moniker vanished. Congratulations once again

ooh but as sadi the offer will be revoke after 1 month. of no payment of acceptance

and you know IRCC can take minimum of 3 month before they finalize on VIsa
hopr you understand me


Is there something you want to avoid that is making this trouble you?
Your admission will be revoked if you fail to meet the conditions on your letter of acceptance. You can always re-apply for another or same intake tho, pay another application fee, wait to be accepted and then forward the new LOA to IRCC

IRCC will verify if your admission is genuine and deny your application if it is fake but not if your admission is withdrawn, this is the reason why someone can upload an updated LOA to IRCC when they defer their admission and still get their visa approved.

I just Got my LOA Yesterday from Conestoga College, but this their Option Of paying Acceptance fees within 1 Month Period,
AND also to balance the first semester fees before June 2023 is given me Headache, I dont know if i should Wait for the other 2 school to view available options, and the 1,500,000 deposit is non Refundable
pls i need advice from Conestoga College applicant how they went about it

Conestoga college initial dep of $1,500 is refundable less $200 admin fee, its on their site, however, this is if you voluntarily choose to withdraw 2 weeks before resumption or visa is denied.

Now except your other schools of choice don't have options for an initial deposit then hurriedly pay the deposit so you do not loose the admission.
Form A takes like 60 days these days so the earlier you apply the better.

thank you, so I can get admission with this grade depending what the school requires.abi?

About Cape Breton university, the course I applied before is not in the school application drop down. Please I need assistance on it or in any other school please @johnstan please

You only need to choose a course and then browse thru schools offering the course to confirm their requirements before you apply. Some schools may have a different name for the course but will generally be the same.
It's a rigourous search you will need to allocate time for and actually do cos no one will be able to do that for you except you wish to employ the services of any of the gurus/agents here. Note that you may be charged for it.

Another help house,
I am self sponsored, although I am gainfully employed but the fund for my schooling will come from a sale of an inherited property. Please, how should I explain this? And which documents do I need to show? Also, must the fund stay in my account for 1 month before I can apply? Or I can apply immediately the fund enters my account...?

Thanks in advance

Sale of property should have a deed like a binded paper work showing the transfer of ownership from the old to the new owner, that's what you attach as proof after stating this in your SOP.
The duration of time is irrelevant if you successfully explain how you got the lump sum with receipts.

Good luck.

Yeah, a few websites. I also established communication with a few landlords. You can check your school website if they have anything on off campus living because I believe on campus residence must've been completely taken. My school has a few listings on their off campus living. I got in touch with my course adviser that relocated to Canada on a permanent basis back when I was in uni but he's based in Ontario with his family. The hustle is real sha. Most of these landlords would want you to apply and sometimes it feels like an interview sef.

Yea they do but their links all lead to self search with no other assistance, they also warn against accomodation fraud for someone yet to arrive so I'm a bit skeptical.
Will keep looking tho. Thanks.

with 3rd class,hope I can do post graduate diploma or post bachelorette


Post graduate diploma, post baccalaureate and graduate diploma are programs that would require you to have an under grad/previous degree in other to gain admission.

Ordinary diploma and advanced diplomas are undergraduate programs that don't require a previous degree to gain admission (your Waec /neco is fine for this )

I want to believe you should be able to gain admission depending on the requirements from your school of choice. I don't have experience with different types of admissions as I've only successfully processed mine.

Check your school of choice, send emails to their international admission office for clarification on requirements you're not sure about and proceed.

I'm going as a self-sponsored, please how do i go about "Consent Letter'' from my wife.

@Johnstan @Pace6 @Bullstriker @all

By consent letter, do you mean letter of sponsorship?
I'm not clear on what a spousal consent letter is.

If you mean a letter stating that she's fine with your plans and will efficiently take care of your fam in your absence then you can go ahead to draft a letter to that effect. Depending on the length of time you will be away, explain the things you've put In place to ensure she is able to hold and support the fam till your return.

If you mean a sponsorship letter then that entails you drafting one stating how much she's willing to set aside for your studies or the bills she's willing to pay on your behalf.

I applied for proficiency in English from my school in order to apply for graduate admission at Canadian universities. They asked for the school information to address the letter to the university, but I want to use the letter for various schools in Canada.

How can I go about it?

If I may ask, is there a reason you're requesting for proficiency in English letter. Is this to waive IELTS English requirement?

Academic documents such as this are usually sent directly to institutions and not to individuals. I'm aware some people send fake company addresses and have the school mail the documents to the address so they can have the copy themselves but be careful. If your Canadian school of choice requests for an official Copy and it comes from you instead of your school, they may reject it.

Good evening all. Please I was wondering what tracking ID I am supposed to use in tracking my passport after it was returned to the VFS partner courier. I have received my letter of introduction but my passport has not been returned. The tracking ID provided by VFS is not working on UPS website. Please help

Contacting VFS courier partner is if you only used a one courier drop off service.
VFS will give you an option to pick your ppt in person or Pay for them to ship it to you.
You will get an AWB number if you choose the latter.

Just google dem and you will see several types, there's no specific format.
If you're not a lawyer and don't have a lawyer helping you with it just go to any court nearby and get it done there, they have drafts and will just edit your Information into it. Be sure to proof read to correct mistakes before it's stamped by the commissioner of oaths
