Yes...from my friends who have travelled ,you can carry all these but I will advice you not to carry Groudnut oil cuz there is more than enough Groundnut oil in Canada and for organic soaps... Best shot is to put them in a transparent nylon and label them...if its black soap...u can use a white cellotape and label it black soap...I think it will save the stress of asking questions on what you're carrying... If possible label all your raw food stuffs and put them in a transparent bag. .foodstuffs like Grinded Egusi,crayfish, etc

Yes it’s allowed but for the groundnut oil, I’d say don’t carry because they have good vegetable oil over there .
It’s even more refined than ours.
Ok now, taking note, Gracias!!

But can I go with my GOYA Extra Virgin Oil, if yes, should i leave the content in that glass bottle (mine is quite big like a Coke bottle and can break if it falls on the ground) or I should pour the content into a Plastic table water Bottle?

Thanks for the reply. So I graduated with Economics in 2007 but since 2012, I transitioned to programming with work experience and all to show.

Will this make my case more favourable?
Based on your Economics & your Programming Work experience, a Masters in Business Analytics or a Masters Research on a Business Analytics research areas would likely suffice for you.

2007 & 2012 till now is a very obvious STUDY GAP, try to do some online courses, related to Business Analytics so you can be Updated with the latest trends of what you wanna go for.
The online course (if stated on your SOP and you show evidentiary document to attest you did the online course) you did can also give an impression to a Visa officer while processing your application that you are inline with the latest trend of what you want to study for Masters

The GURUS would guide you more on that.

So I arrived at MMA, all those serious looking bag boys carried my luggage, I think say them be better people until they told me I needed to buy yellow card 6 thousand naira that without the yellow card, I won’t be allowed to board or immigration will charge me 200 dollar, well I quickly made it clear to them that I came to the airport with no money atall not even dollar….I nor get money to waste.

Flight was by 11pm check-in started by 4PM they asked for my
Enrolment letter
Acceptance letter
School fees receipt


The airline staff (KLM) verified the documents, Omo one fyn woman..I nor just understand just squeeze face Dey say 3 weeks to resumption…Omo I being 1 faint …after snapping those documents I mentioned earlier, I was asked to bring my covid test result…then I realize I’m good to go ����

If you are traveling..buy snacks or anything put for your bag….hunger almost kill me.

So when I arrived Toronto airport; officer asked me if I have been accepted by the school I’m going to, I said yes, and he said if I have proof I told him yes and should him my acceptance letter.
He was observing the letter then I gave him my letter of introduction without him asking grin
Then he ask if I have paid my fee .. I told him yes and gave him my receipt…he observe the receipt and he said …oboy your admission letter say 15k then why did you pay 3k …..I just smile and said ….we are allowed to pay per the courses you are offering and I will be offering only 3 courses that’s why I paid 3k …..he just node head
So I told him I have my covid result…he asked me to bring it.
Then he started asking me some questions, Omo …I think the officer was looking at my file and asking me questions from there. I realize that when he called the name of my sponsor grin. And asked about his job. I told him every every.
So he ask if I have proof of funds….I told him my sponsor refused to give me grin (I forget to carry o)
Then final question..what will you be doing till your school resume….I told him quarantine grin
So he printed my study permit Nd SiN stuf …..Nd started advising me that I can work for 20 hours then holiday time, I can work for 40 hours….and I can go back to Nigeria for visiting (I just shake my head for my mind).
So that’s all….then I was walking down to the next part I started hearing…hello sir, hello sir , hello sir…..I didn’t bother looking back ….I nor believe say immigration officer go Dey call me sir….I finally looked back, it was d officer and he gave me one of my print out that I forgot with him grin……


So I went to claim my baggage.
After that, I went to do covid test, then after that …went to one joint to wait for my shuttle to my hotel. Nice hotel nice view, Everything went smooth and I thank God for a safe trip.
Wishing everyone coming this fall Safe travels.

I use style like their food sha.
Thanks for the well-detailed landing gist.

A quick one,

based on your flight experience to Canada, is a Transit visa needed for International Student going from Lagos to Amsterdam to Toronto via KLM?

OK...let me just add a little of. What I think for people who might not understand a 23kg luggage...OK...just think about a bag of rice...A bag of rice weighs 50kg, half bag of rice weighs 25kg....so they're telling you whatever bags you're trying to pack,don't pack more than two half bags of rice ,so if half bag of rice is 25kg,if you remove 2kg,you will get 23kg...I hope this little illustration will help you to know how you will pack...safe trip to all the travellers!

Only fully vaccinated travelers will be exempted from the mandatory hotel quarantine from august 9
That's not true. VACCINATED OR NOT, all travellers are exempted from the 3-days Mandatory Hotel Quarantine starting August 9

From IRCC website

Upcoming changes to public health measures
As of August 9, 2021, new measures will be put in place for travellers to Canada, including international students.

This includes the following:

Eliminating the 3-night government-authorized hotel stay requirement for all air travellers arriving after 12:01 a.m. EDT on August 9, 2021. Until that time, non-vaccinated travellers flying to Canada must complete their 3-night hotel stay while they wait for their on-arrival test results.

My brother’s Landing gist
His program starts Sept 7th
He traveled Aug 2nd (4 weeks and 5days)

He Got to MMA, they asked him for:
Enrolment letter
Acceptance letter
Covid test
Authorization letter
ArriveCan receipt
3 days Hotel reservation
Which he provided.
The airline staff (Turkish airlines) verified the documents, and said he was okay to board.

He arrived Toronto airport; officer asked for his acceptance letter and letter of introduction.
And issued him study permit. He spent over 2hours at immigration because there was a long queue (so be prepared)
After immigration, he went to claim his baggage.
After that, he went to do covid test, spent over an hour lol.
I was outside waiting for him though.
When he came out, I drove him to the hotel for quarantine; cooked some food (which I took to the airport) to sustain him for the 3 days, because I’m pretty sure he won’t like them oyibo meals as a first timer Lol.
Everything went smooth and I thank God for a safe trip.
Wishing everyone coming this fall Safe travels.
Authorization Letter!!!!!! Another one cheesy


Thanks for the landing gist, all the best for your brother in Maple Land

Greetings my people, Please I need some help and guidance for my juniour bro. He is also on the thread and doing his findings. I saw his post but i think he is not asking the right questions.

He is a first class Mech Engineering graduate and currently working with an International engineering firm in Lagos. PR is the ultimate goal because I am in Canada and we are working on that, however I want him to apply to a UNI for him as backup. (Wes done, IELTS on the way so it's a win/win situation).

1. Please what schools will readily give him admission into a master in Mech engineering or related courses like Automation etc. for 2022 Academic year.
2. Does anyone have an idea of schools that may offer scholarships, E.g partial (So we target such schools)?
3. He is writing General IELTS for PR waka, but does he need Academic IELTS for Canadian schools? I have been seeing posters mention it. I thought we had jumped this hurdle already as Nigerians. (There is this english result we usually send...but I am not so sureif it's all uni that accepts it.)
4. Do you advice he goes for Masters or a PG cert course. (because honestly, Master's don't sell here like before, except for some few careers, it's usually diploma and PGC that does employment wonders, but then again, I dread that route for visa conviction).
5. Just advise us biko, any tips will be appreciated.

I am a strong believer of Nairaland as I got my own Canadian PR and previous Visas to different countries on this resourceful website. So i know how powerful the interactions here can help shapen one's life If one is ready to READ. I have also been able to impact on others in other Canadian threads on this website. Please help point me in the right directions, so I do the necessary readings as regards possible schools.

Finally, since I am here in CA, if there is any way I can help with information, please let me know. (Information is power).
2) There are lots of Canadian Universities that offers Fully Funded thesis-based Graduate Opportunities. When he starts putting the guides in No. 1 to action, the response of those Profs. would make him know schools (research labs) that would give him admission or not. His 1st Class is a good plus to his Academic Profile, so he needs to do some intellectual packaging so he stand out to show to the prof. he's gonna be a perfect fit to the research lab if accepted.

See the link below for Schools offering Masters in Mechanical Engineering at CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES (over 35 Universities)
https://www.universitystudy.ca/search-programs/?k=Mechanical+Engineering&program_level_merged=Master%27s+degree&program_language=ENGLISH

3) Await a response to your 3rd Question from the gurus

4) Like I said initially, If he has obvious study gaps e.g if he graduated 2014-2016, he should go for a PG. Cert in a Mechanical Engineering program based on his work experience, cos that would be easy for him to explain on his SOP and be able to convince a Visa Officer why he is going for the program, but if he has no study gaps or obvious study gaps, a Masters degree is more advisability.

But in case he still wants to do that PG.cert, despite his First Class, he would have to give very strong & cogent reasons on his SOP why he is going for a PG.Cert instead of a Masters degree.

PG. Cert in MECHANICAL ENGINEERING related Programs
https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/483#95675552

PG. Cert, Industrial Automation
Niagara College, Ontario

PG. Cert in Quality engineering Management
Lambton College, Ontario

The above are just my own opinion, await suggestions from the gurus & other members of this platform.

Hi Honorable,

A First Class in Mech. Engineering would attract any School's Mechanical Engineering Research Lab but Graduate Scholarship Opportunities are very competitive cos he would likely be competing with more brilliant international students from other countries

NOTE
If he has obvious study gaps e.g if he graduated 2014-2016 (5-7 years study Gap), he should go for a PG. Cert in a Mechanical Engineering program based on his work experience, cos that would be easy for him to explain on his SOP and be able to convince a Visa Officer why he is going for the program.

1) Zero the mindset of "what school would give him admission easily", actually, Admissions in Canadian Universities for Graduate School is quite thorough and competitive & they don't have lots of Universities like USA. Despite having a First Class, there are some things he needs to put in place so he can be able to contain any competition from other brilliant folks like him. He shouldn't put all his eggs in one basket basket by focusing on 1 to 5 schools, most especially someone looking for scholarships, he has to be open to loads of Canadian Schools.

Note
There are little or no Scholarship for Course-based Masters degree in Canada, a Thesis-based Masters degree in MECHANICAL ENGINEERING for Fall 2022 should be his focus & he should start now cos this is the best time to prepare for Fall 2022

Since he wants to do a Masters (Thesis-based), he needs to have a MECHANICAL ENGINEERING research areas he intends working on, most especially research areas in MECHANICAL ENGINEERING he has prior research experience in (B.SC Final year project), his courses in school or his Job experience. That being said, he has to google Professors of that Research Area in Canada, read about their Publications etc. and send a non-generic, well-tailored Cold Mail to each Profs. based on each PROFS. Research Areas in MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. He can also look for Research Groups of a Particular Research Area, read about their projects , and cold mail the Team Leader/Principal Investigator (Professor) of that group, and Cold Mail him/her to show interests in his/her Research work. Let's say am a Mechanical Engineering graduate , and one of my Research interest is ADDITIVE ENGINEERING, I would go to Google & type

"Professor of Additive Manufacturing Canada"

"Additive Manufacturing Research Group Canada"

It would bring out lots of search Results directing me to Faculties of Mechanical Engineering( Professors) in Canadian Universities, from there I can read their Profile & publications, doing that would make me easily locate a Professor of Mechanical Engineering in that school who has a Research focus on ADDITIVE ENGINEERING, once am able to relate my prior research experience or a course have done in past to is Research Interest in ADDITIVE ENGINEERING, boom, I would draft my Cold Mail and send to him, once he finds me fit for his research lab, the Prof. Might decide he wanna have a Zoom or Skype interview with me (a greenlight), the essence of this is for him to know much about the Student he intend to recruit to his lab, if he is the type of Graduate student he/she is looking for and whether the student would be fit for his/her lab.

Good morning Nairalanders.

Please kindly come to my aid. The school I applied for just told me it will be online and if I dont receive a study permit they won't refund my fees as I will continue the study online.

Help me out with another school please. I am a Microbiology graduate with experience in quality assurance. I also have NGO volunteer work experience. Jan 2022 is my target please. A 2 year PGD course is what I seek for.
Lambton have closed all applications for 2022
Costegon have similar courses but it's majorly 1 year.
Please kindly help me as time is of the essence. Thank you please
Sorry about this development.

Unfortunately, I don't know of another 2-years program you can go for based on your Microbiology degree & Quality Assurance Work Experience.

A suggestion,

As a B.SC holder, why don't you consider a Post baccalaureate Diploma in a Microbiology Related Program

Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Food Bioscience
Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada

https://www.dal.ca/faculty/agriculture/plant-food-env/programs/post-baccalaureate-certificate-in-food-bioscience.html

Visit the link above for more details about the program, and enquire for the Admission requirements, program duration (to know if its a 2-years program) etc. from the contact e-mail address posted in the webpage of the above link.

If their response to you is good (based on what you are looking for), you can apply for the program).

I need advice on either to apply for another 2year Diploma course in Building Engineering Technology (Construction Management) which is a bit cheap at NBCC compare to other colleges. What's my Visa approval chance, considering that I have HND in Civil and years of experience?

Will it be fine to consider 1year Project Management PG certificate considering the goal is to just Japa patapata lol, Saying this because of the required 2years duration of PGWP?

Kindly suggest affordable institutions that offers post graduate diplom in Construction / Civil Engineering related courses.

As an HND holder who studied Civil Engineering with over 6years experience in Construction as Project Site Engineer/Manager, a diploma shows no ACADEMIC & CAREER PROGRESSION, the Visa Application Chance going for a DIPLOMA is slim

A Post Grad. Certificate (PG. Cert) in a Civil Engineering program or related to your work experience is your best shot

PG. Cert in Construction Management -1378B
(2 years program) - Available for International Students

Conestoga College, Waterloo,
Ontario
https://www.conestogac.on.ca/fulltime/construction-management

PG. Cert in Civil Engineering, Building related programs

As regards whether,

"Will it be fine to consider 1year Project Management PG certificate considering the goal is to just Japa patapata lol, Saying this because of the required 2years duration of PGWP?"

Await response from the gurus on that.

Unfortunately, there are really no cheap schools in Canada, that being said Financial Readiness is very essential to study in Canada

As regards your Wife, I don't know of any Microbiology/SLT related PG. Cert program, but its like the PG.Cert programs in the link below might suffice for her

PG. Cert in Health Related programs

By the way,

There is also something called
SOWP (Spouse Open Work Permit), you might want to consider it for your wife while you the Principal Applicant (PA) go to Canada to Study.

Go through the contents in the links below for some knowledge about it & also get across to the gurus if you are interested in it.

Good Evening all,
I was just introduced to this forum by a friend and I must say you guys are really doing a great job here. Please @Frank,Lekiboboe,spectro, justmellow,shuppy and other gurus in this forum am by name Mathias Ajiboye...I need an advice right now, am a graduate of mathematics and statistics in one of the polytechnic in Nigeria with a grade lower credit and am currently working as a sales Representative under one Agro chemical company in the north for the past 3years, please I want to fill an application to studie in canada"what course can I apply for that's suitable to my background, I need a Best advice.Regards
Hi Honorable Ajiboye,

While you await the response of the gurus.

Based on your Work Experience, you can go for a PG.Cert program in either Marketing, Business management or accounting.

But you need to do thorough research on the courses (course outlines) you gonna be doing In any of the above program, and make sure some of them relates to your WORK EXPERIENCE as a Sales Rep. Doing this would enable you to give cogent reasons and be able to convince a Visa Officer why you are going for the program on your SOP.

Also for your admission , supporting documents is very essential e.g Cover letter & a Canadian Style Résumé, cos your HND Transcript is all about your MATHEMATICS & STATISTICS degree, but your Cover letter & Canadian Style Résumé would give information about your Job experience, detailing why the Admission committee should find you a best fit for the program you applied for despite being a Mathematics & Statistics graduate.

That being said, go through the contents in the links below and do your due diligence
