VonVictor:
Someone should please answer

3.83/5×4

Sirromey:
How did you pay for your cab ticket from the airport to your house since you didn't change the money?

My mistake.....

That was the advice I got

evergold:
So, I can actually carry a carryon bag and my laptop bag too and check two big bags right. I bought foodstuff of over 100k and I don't want to leave anything behind

Correct my guy....

Please don't leave anything behind o, been eating sweet stew in quarantine since I came

evergold:
Did you pay for extra weight or your 23kg * 2 allowances was enough?

I carried the 2 main 23kg bags, a carry on luggage of about 7kg and my shuttle bag. None of my bag was weighed. I just went straight to wrapping the luggage bags with nylon to preserve my precious garri, egusi, ata Ata gbigbe and some dry fish, knorr maggi

Insanity:
Please, what do you mean by essential foodstuffs? Which food stuffs were you able to carry? I will be travelling soon, I wanna buy all the stuffs in the coming days.
Cheers!

Garri, egusi, dry Pepper, dry fish if possible, yam flour able.

evergold:
Is there anyone that travelled recently? Please give us your traveling gist. I am traveling on Friday on Ethiopian Airlines

Mo serious package. Just pack all your serious load in the main luggage bags, 23_23, carry on luggage is just 7kg. Ni liquid in your carry on luggage, pack enough enough snack in the bag....e get why

BCkeys:
Please what number did you write for your arrive CAN documentation considering we would not have gotten a Canadian number from Nigeria. Thank you

I used my supervisor's number

adeenzo:
Awesome Congratulations,
Please a quick question, what time are you mandated to fill the arriveCAN app?
Also, what did you fill as your flight destination on the arriveCAN app? was it your POE (Toronto) or your final destination (Calgary, Sask, etc)

1. At least 48hrs to your flight, but you should not fill it earlier than that.

2. I think I chose Toronto, though it wasn't my final destination

adeenzo:
Please kindly share your travel experience (airline, what the border officers both in Nigeria and Canada POE requested for), lastly, did you need to undergo any covid test

No Covid-19 test anywhere jare. I used Ethiopian airlines. Twas a smooth trip.

I was asked to present my
Passport, photocopy of data page, ArriveCan, funding letter and enrolment letter at the Lagos airport.

At POE Canada, I was asked to show my
LOA, ArriveCAN receipt on phone, enrolment letter.

That was all, immediately Study permit was issued

No more Nairobi wahala

No more Vfs palava

I lost and I gained in 2020.

Arrived safely, now in Canada.

Happiness is real o!!!

starkyniichan:
Nah ... You don't need one

It's calming

Akannitommy:
Someone or two on this group (not sure about Obanidavid but Frater..) didn't get the Covid test and flew Ethiopian to Toronto/Montreal.

Thank you sir, okan mi bale

Please to those that used Ethiopian airlines recently, was Covid-19 test requested at the Airport by the airline officials?

Chocs:
3 digit code?

Yea, after I submitted the form that was what I had
Or is this all I will show them

Kakokako:
Many thanks

Please, I also want to find out, how long will I wait before the 3 digit code is sent to me, does it take forever?

Chocs:
Hello kakokako,

You can use your Nigerian number. Email is how they’ll reach out to you for follow up.

Best wishes and have a safe flight.

Many thanks

Kakokako:
Please, for those who have filled the ArriveCAN app, was it your Nigerian number you filled or you had a canadian number?

Please I need help with this urgently

Please, for those who have filled the ArriveCAN app, was it your Nigerian number you filled or you had a canadian number?

Funny enough, my application profile for the online account still shows submitted and not approved. It's only after I check full application profile that I see the approval decision....

I no get their time again, I don Japa

Okay. So today I got my TRV. I used a Lagos address for the courier delivery, but I came down to Lagos yesterday, called UPS customer service and got the Rider on phone. Had to block him at Lawanson all the way from Ikosi ketu.
It's exactly 10 months today that I submitted my application at Vfs lagos. It was trying!
But it's worth the wait. Did I see someone saying he won't reapply because they refused him even with full funding? They will approve your 2nd application, that's usually the way it's done. I was also denied on my 1st application, and I was even partially funded and none of the refusal concerns was about finance. Ask around, you will get the right information specific about your case, as there are no 2 same application.

From Lagos to the world!!!

fratermathy:
How are you coping with the timezone thing? It's 1:35am in Montreal and I'm awake. I slept using Nigeria time and I can't even force myself to sleep again.


Just to add to the items Rebecausoro listed, if you are destined to Montreal, please make sure you print your CAQ approval letter.

Shoutout to Obanidavid and Akannitommy .

CAQ approval letter?
Is that the same thing as the LOI please?

Akannitommy:
Roger that sir! Help me beg VFS Lagos to release my passport. Because I no like their lies and refused to call them they have been skipping over my package. There is God oh!

Ahhhhhhhh, Oga, you should call them 2 times each day from Monday, except you're not in a hurry sha. But those guys are NOT GOING TO TAKE YOU SERIOUS unless you call twice every day till it's delivered.

My half cent!

Sirromey:
Good afternoon everyone. Paper applicants that have received final approval how long did it take from BVL to final approval?

Mine took 26 days. Some else's was under 24 hrs. Ensure you send an email to them by Monday

Dee4Doyinsola:
Saint Mary's University Halifax. When do you intend to leave?

I'll be leaving next week

adeenzo:
Thanks, guys for the response
The rate at which I ask questions on this platform, if people have shotgun they will shoot me ...
Thanks, all the same, my heart is at rest now, at least by next week passport suppose land

Yea...all other things being equal

Dee4Doyinsola:
I have received the payment email since Wednesday. I have paid and sent them an email and they confirmed that they have received payment earlier today when I called.

Oh yeah, apologies.
I just received the same email.
I'm heading to Dalhousie from Nigeria, where are you heading?

Dee4Doyinsola:
Gurus in the house please what does vfs mean by this mail? Sincerely I can't wait for this vfs season of my life to be over

Well, I think it means you should expect the email indicating that your decision envelope is ready for collection in the next few days. Have you paid for courier fee yet?

adeenzo:
Nice, when did you send your passport? I sent mine on Thursday 3rd of December and it reached Abuja on Friday 4th, and today I got the message that my passport is at Canada visa office (and someone on this platform said it meant my passport is in Nairobi) I used DHL 2 way courier service.
When do you think can be a feasible estimated time of the passport returning?
Thanks

Your passport is in Abuja office of the Canadian High Commission, that's where it will be stamped!

JORDAN55:
Hello everyone,
please i just got countetfoip today, How long does LOI take to drop after counterfoil?

No one can say. It should come in any moment. But if by this time tomorrow you don't have it, then send an email to Lagos Embassy address, remember to copy Abuja

Kimkalash:
I don't know if the number I replaced with asterisk was the tracking number. Maybe it ll start to work from tomorrow

Okay

To get through directly to Vfs Canada, call 08150199900

Press 1, wait for the long story, then press 8, it will connect you immediately to a customer service agent.

Download Autoredial app from appstore, and set at least 100 call times in the settings. I have always been let through after dialing the number between 5 to 20 times

Kimkalash:
So I just got this
