According to IRCC, The only way two people can quarantine together is if they are related.

To even close that gap, I will advice both A & B board same flight. This will be more reasonable rather than waiting for the other party to join.

Quarantine procedures are done on flight bases. If you noticed, on your ArriveCan app, it will ask you for your flight number.

Canadians are guys that sticks by the rule especially those guys at the border.

My candid advice, board the same flight and arrive same time.

Please read to avoid any possible fine of 5000 CAD.

Congratulations again on your PPR.

Thank you very much. I appreciate.

Hello Ladyblaq and Metari, please let's link up. I'm also leaving in August.

Please check, I replied you.


Hello house! I have sent an inquiry to the GAA but I still want to get answers here.

If A arrives at Pearson Toronto Airport by 1pm on 20th and B arrives Pearson Toronto Airport by 6pm on 20th, is it possible for A and B to share the cost of quarantine at a GAA for the same room(2 beds)?

Metari1:
Okay, did you send me a message?
Checked.

Sending a PM...

Please reply

Metari1:
Hello ladyblaq, I responded. I fit the profile, centennial. Flight ticket booked( August).

Just responded ooo

LadyBlaq:
Hello House!

Any female going to Toronto in August for fall term? I would like us to connect please.
Travel buddy, roommate for the 3 days quarantine because Lord knows I will not take this vaccine in Naija, then possible roommate in Toronto or suburbs around Toronto if your school is there.


Toronto is damn expensive fah!!!!

Still searching oooo

may99:
Hi. Congratulations once again. If you have about 7 weeks to your travel date, try to get both shots of the vaccine. You can get them six weeks apart. The vaccine is legit, the govt received it freely from WHO. It is a cheap (free) sacrifice and would be a far better option than paying between $2000-3000 CAD for hotel quarantine and apartment.

I also read that only family members would be allowed to get a room together. You may be able to stay together for the quarantine apartment but the hotel would be a solitary cost.

Thanchuuuu


You are very correct on that butttttttttt naija nah naija, I no trust them.

Besides, I don't think I have up to 7 weeks, or do I? In fact I don't trust it


I have trust issues

I have seen people talk about sharing rooms here, I think two people can share the rooms if they travelled together...for instance, One GAA is 225 cad doll per night, I think two persons can share it, yes?

fejiromich:
Lol @ladyblaq, the vaccine is not so bad oh... when I heard they would lift quarantine for those fully vaccinated I had to go take first dose... Although, you feel abit sick for a day or two, but I think it’s ok...
I also want to travel in august but still awaiting PPR...

A colleague of mine in a neighboring state died after taking the shot. It was said that he had underlying illness and as a result, he had blood clotting. Due to the unavailability of blood cleanser/thinner, he died before they could fly to Lagos to get one.

I have also seen people take the full dose and they are fine. I see it more like a 50/50 thing and I am not going to gamble on my life like that. After the death of my colleague, preconceived fear could even kill me before any underlying illness if any....I am too scared to take it.

Piecoco:
Greetings my fellow Nairalanders!

WHAT GOD CAN NOT DO, DOES NOT EXIST.



LONG POST ALERT!!





It has ended in praise! Never Give Up on your dreams!

Congratulations to you dear

Lianna2020:
Na me, Na why I no forget your name

I munch use do thanksgiving

JosephYemsol:
What did you do differently? Your application was not even up to 3 months....

Congrats.

Please, I sent u a mail.

Lol, I remember asking someone this question some time ago, you should see her own timeline....lightening speed.

Well, I did nothing differently other than using the NSE route, it was just Grace. A lot of people are getting decisions faster these days, yours may not be any different.

Dynatotita:
I had a chat with Abuja VFS online and I was informed that I should do oneway courier.

To your question, two way means times 2 the amount to be paid to courier coy.

Thank you. You saved me some money.

Doree:
A big congrats Ladyblaq. I have followed your story from when you submitted and came here to report you have joined the race. I'm so glad it ended in praise. I thank God with and for you.

Thank you very much dear.

@Justmellow, thanks alot. You are one of the pillars in this forum, God bless you.

SweetestTeeY:
Good morning, please are you aware of any other international courier services apart from DHL?

I hear FedEX and GIG do international deliveries too.

Lianna2020:
@ladyblaq

Also if you don’t have the yellow slip, use the whit long one .
No need for transmission fee.

Thank you dear, I do have the white long one. Also, I noticed that one of my photocopied passport was stamped by VFS and i saw an inscription on the paper to come with it for PP collection. Do I also have to send it together with the long slip?
Before my PPR request, I seldom read anything about submission of passport, silly me.

Dabricious:
Good morning Ladyblaq, congratulations on your PPR, im so happy for you. You have been celebrating with others and now its your turn to be celebrated.
You don't need to pay transmission fee again since you did your Biometrics in Abuja. Just include the yellow slip in the envelope you are sending.
Secondly, you need to pay for two way carrier so that they can deliver it back to your house address.
I hope this helps

Thank God it's just DHL 2 way courier I have to pay...I was almost wondering...Thank you Dabricious, we will all get celebrated in this forum.

elenewton1:
I can only answer for the yellow biometrics slip. It is the slip (paper) you got from VFS on the day of your biometrics.
Regarding the 2-way courier, Lianna2020 will know better as she did something similar.

Omo! I have totally forgotten something was given to me at the center o. Thank you.

Ebonieblack:
You need a two way courier to Abuja and back to you.
As you can't physically go to VFS office for stamping. The money you will pay since your biometrics was collected in Abuja is only for DHL or UPS.

I hope this helps

Thanks alot.

LadyBlaq:
Hello house. So I have been reading some tips on how to send my passport for stamping and I need some clarifications please.

I did my biometrics at Abj and I reside in another state.
I saw that one way courier is N12,570, does this mean that I have to pay N(2 X 12,570) for a two-way courier to Canada Logistic Collection account?

Also let's assume I will be using DHL, do I also need to pay a two way courier fee to DHL with the exception of the fees I paid to VFS office?

I ask because I have read here that sending passport to abj after doing biometric there is cheaper than someone who did biometrics in Lagos and is sending passport to Abj? I am also confused with this two and one way thingy.

Again, which one is yellow biometrics slip?

Someone please enlighten me.

Good morning House. Please someone should help answer this question. I am sorry if this question has been answered before biko.

Tipzey:
Congratulations again! I'm also going to centennial college this fall, I sent you a mail pls. I would like to get in touch. Can I chat you up. Thanks.

Thanchuuuu. I have replied your mail...

Teenie19:
We are still waiting ooo, I don't know what IRCC is doing but it is well!

Probably waiting for confirmation from the school. Some schools can be lackadaisical in these things, I almost certain Sheridan college is one of such schools.

Do you think you can mail the school to talk to IRCC on your behalf? Is it doable? You stand to lose nothing though.

Teenie19:
Wow congratulations again! You already even requested for another gcms notes lol.

Thank you Teenie, what's up with your sis application so far?

Oreoluwamipo:
May Canada favor you , congrats once again.

Thanchuuuu sis, that one sentence yesterday gave me plentyyyy moral.

RollyA:
Congratulations dear, I tap into this testimony also. Still watching and waiting, God is in the neighborhood

RollyA I deh your bending corner deh wait for your own, we deh come from the same street. My testimony won't be complete without yours o.

Lianna2020:
I knew it
Congratulations

Lol, you said it! God heard it. Thanks dear

CHIKACIC:
Congratulations!!!

Ontario bound. Pls, which school?

Thanchuuu. Oh! Centennial College.

Chipo14:
Congratulations!!! What's your proposed study program as well as where you are headed? May you find favor on this journey.

Thank you. One year PGC in Insurance mgt. Ontario... AMEN

boscom:
Congratulations.
No eligibility update all through?

No there is none, it's still the usual "we are reviewing...."

NorthernshoreTS:
Congratulations LadyBlaq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and congratulations to everyone who have received their PPR. I am so happy for everyone. For those of us still on the journey, let us persevere in faith and trust God to complete that which He has started.

I also implore all of us to celebrate even the most little accomplishments. I posted that we had finally gotten admission into University of Regina after 4months+ of waiting and not a single congratulations from anyone. We only congratulate those who got PPR. Let us celebrate every the little victories.

Godspeed to us all.

You are right o. Getting admission is a task of its own. Can you imagine that my admission to UNBC took more than two months, long after I have even submitted visa application o. True true, we need to celebrate our not so tiny victories.

Four whole months? Jeez! Congratulations dear, next is the Visa approval.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate all your well wishes, nah turn by turn. We will most certainly get our individual requests approved, it's just a matter of time.



Special thanks to Jehovah overdo, it's all because of Him. I am forever grateful Lord...

prada1:
Congrats lady blaq. was it only 10m you used as POF?

No dear, I had my personal funds too.

You all are the real MVPs. Lekiboe, Frank, Anon, Uzomachukwu, Baphil, Lianna, Shuppy, my darling Sis Bisola, infact, all of you, God will continue to bless you all. Special shout out to Oga Seun for creating this impactful forum, i am happy to have known this great family...

So, Australia was my first choice because i couldn't dare try Canada, I had heard of their strict study visa assessments. I spent a lot of money with different agents as most schools in Australia would never deal directly with students. I finally settled with a school in NSW and boom, Corona happened and their borders have been closed since then.

I had no choice but to try the almighty Canada and trust me, my anxiety and preconceived fear of their stringent rules got a better part of me because, my application was messssssyyyyyyyyy!!!!

1) After submitting my app, i read on here that i shouldn't have done a money gift deed, especially when the gift-er isn't related to me, moreover, some folks said they haven't seen any study visa getting approved with a money gift deed by a gift-er who isn't part of the family. Guess what! they were right because my application would be the first they'd see. I am self sponsored applicant and the bulk of my fund was gifted by my late father's friend. Even though we don't share the same blood and name, we had something more than that, we had the commitment and bond. So i had him do a money gift deed(10m), which he paid into my account in bulk, sometime in February. I dug up old pictures of himself and late father, old pictures of himself and myself when i was younger, letter he wrote to me in place of popsy during my graduation in 2013, financial statement histories between myself, momsy and him, from different banks and as old as 2014. I also had him write a support letter and explain why he had to make such commitments, using his Company's letter headed paper.

2) In the bid to achieve the much needed mb capacity, i had shredded lots of documents off my application and eventually ended up tampering with my transcript. I reported myself here on Nairaland, hoping to get some hope or outright condemnation. Lol, i was told to resend the transcript and beg them not to misunderstand my intention, and then hope for the best outcome. Uzomachukwu, on the contrary, opined to be concise and not beg for their mercy as though i have done something "hideous". Eventually, she helped my with a well structured mail and i sent it to IRCC via webform. Baphil also reached out and re-compressed my files, she produced a much clearer file even with the additional missing pages. I don't know how she did it but i was wowed and i sent my files afresh via email.

3) Not a single ghost update till this morning. From what i read here, i guess i didn't really get any ghost update since my status remained "submitted", until this morning when i saw "your status updated". At a point i was praying for any kind of update, lollllllll.

One month and few days after my application, i requested for my GCM notes on 24th May, it came in yesterday, 23rd June. I hoped to tackle any negative feedback via webform but i was disappointed as i couldn't understand anything there and it seemed empty. Nairalanders said otherwise and i should brace myself for a positive feedback, Anon also assured me that a positive decision was coming soon since it was noted at the tail end of the notes, IRCC called my school to re-affirm the validity of my LOA. Even with all these, i remained skeptical, a little pessimistic and a little hopeful

This morning, as i logged in as per my usual ritual, I saw correspondence letter and PPR request sitting pretty on my page long before a mail dropped.
My application was tacky at best, i couldn't pray to save myself, i guess the prayers and good wishes of everyone and my family&friends made a way for me to be found worthy. I pray for this uncommon Grace for all PPR hopefuls, together we will all celebrate.

Application and confirmation was done on 17th April, with complete NSE docs (RLWS-7,7.5,7,7.5)
Biometrics Request on 18th April
IELTS Request letter, i resubmitted my IELTS
Did my upfront medicals together with my biometrics on 29th and 28th of April.
Medicals updated to pass on 28th of may after sending mails to Lagos
First Gcmnotes requested on 24th May, it arrived on 23rd June
Second Gcmnotes requested on 21st June...
Correspondence L and PPR request on 24th June.

Words have failed me. Who am I that he is so mindful of me? A wretched sinner like me? With all my baggages, Grace has found me...


Will be back ooo

buckyfof:
You will get the PPR, this is an encouraging notes.

Be patient and prayerful ma’am

Amen, and so will you too.

Thane:
Hello boss, Can I reach out to you please?

Sir, can you please send me a mail?

Oreoluwamipo:
Girllll ,I'm congratulating you in advance !

May God perfect it, Amen...thanchuuu.

Lamideyy:
Your eligibility is showing recommend interview
Your PPR is on the way
Amen
Just keep praying

Amen! From your mouth to the Almighty's ears.

RollyA:
I hear recommend interview is not a bad sign, if that helps or gives you some hope. and I also hear it comes up when its in the final stages, I stand to be corrected however. I’m waiting also for my notes too before I send webform asking for an update. Our application, (I applied same day with you) should be over 7 weeks now, you may want to send a mail or raise a webform.

Lol, it does give me some glimpse of hope, thank you. I intend to start sending webforms after this month. By His Grace, we will celebrate with others too.
