Calm down bro, I think u have an idea of what the question is. You can kindly refer the person to the express entry thread for more insight as we are all in this together.

To answer the question, I think it takes approximately 6 months give or take to process ur canadian FSW visa post AOR. You can also visit the Express entry thread where you can get alot of information and resources.

What you are doing is loading your presto with funds, not same as purchasing a pass. In this case, the fund is debited as you use and each transit agency would charge their own fee when you transfer on a trip, in the end it is way more expensive than a pass if you move around at least once every day. I had actually written a tutorial covering the use of google map for public transit and all one needs to know about transit system & fares(plus few tips), I even had picture aids from actual trips I took. unfortunately, just when I was done, I lost a friend and was disoriented for days so was in no state of mind to post. The next day Dec 29, the phone the whole stuff is in suffered an RPM Crash and I havent gained access to it since then.

Maybe I'd start afresh and write the much I can manage to, it may make people's integration quite easier.

Welcome boss. a lil money saving tip, go for a plan with less data if you have wifi at home, it would be cheaper by a lot. I am on freedom too, my plan is 5gb, monthly bill + tax is $45(I'm assuming yours cost more). I mainly use phone data for whatsapp, browsing and google maps(I do everyother thing only when I am connected to wifi), my max data usage has never crossed 2gb in a month. To cut cost on google map, download offline map of canada using wifi, that way all google map would use your data for is to get your gps co-ordinates and transit info.

Lastly, you really get mind o! your POF really large for fear to gree you to wage paypal bills. Everyone else I know did it the other way round.

Not everyone spends that much on passes in the GTA though, most people's expense would be around $140. The thing is I live in NorthYork, which is a part of Toronto but so far work and classes takes me to Mississauga and Brampton; occasionally I go to York Region(Not the same as Toronto's North York). though Toronto, Mississauga, York Region and Brampton are all parts of the GTA, they each have their own transit agency. Toronto's TTC monthly pass cost about $147, Brampton $124, Mississauga's Miway $130, York Region's YRT $150... So rather than buy multiple bus passes or pay multiple fares while connecting trips, I just purchase the weekly GTA pass for $63, that way I get to use all these GTA transit service at no extra charge and save a lil.

A friend took ponmo n this was flagged. She spent almost 2k cad just cos of ponmo.
It was a big issue. And she was flagged to be checked for the next 5 years anytime she comes into Canada.

I took mine with no hassles

adesbaba:
quick question



Having known that Canada rarely admits 2:2 grads for msc/MBA from the student visa thread n from those university's admission requirements page....

After Landing in Canny as a PR,can they consider taking a 2:2 grad of say 3.3cgpa for MSC/mba......cos I learnt the tuition will be paid as domestic student not international std...

According to the VFS tracker, my wifes passport has been sent from the Accra VO to VAC yesterday. My wife called VFS Lagos and was told that it takes between 5-7 days when the tracking updates to collection.

My question:
Please when someone notices from VFS tracking that his/her passport has been sent from the Accra VO to VFS. How long does it usually take for the passport to be ready for collection (even without VFS email or text notification)?. We are aware of the delay from VFS in updating stuff. Would it be ready but the system has not sent out the pickup mail?

Actually, we are in a tight corner as we have reserved a flight for Thursday. About to make payment hoping that the passport can be picked up by Monday. Any suggestions?

eclectic139:
Hi please what is this about? (I may have missed you first post). Are you in the process of applying for your PR? or does this have to do with something you are processing after you have landed?

ModestGal:
What is XYZ? Theres what we use that acronym for in my place of work(hospital). Am surprised seeing it on Express entry thread now. If the meaning is thesame with our own meaning, there is an XYZ nursing mother of ours who is willing to leave the country but with the fear she wouldnt be able to, is it in anyway possible for an XYZ to get express entry?

Estac:
I will upload the bottoms when I have a minute. I couldn't get any thermal tops tho. Seems thermal tops are scarce at Yaba.

Estac:
,U can also try this guy, Amarachi Winter +234 803 623 8196. I've made 2 trips to yaba and both times I ended up buying at his shop cos he has top grade items esp on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Great personality too.

I got an ADR request on the 10th of October and submitted by the 14th . My worry is that up till now it's still reading " the additional documents you provided is being reviewed" . I'm in IP2 . I'm really getting worried . Don't know oh f this is normal .

survivor1986:
No offense but I doubt it. How can they give both of us PPR even without her writing IELTS? Adding her without her IELTS drops our points below 440 ordinarily. So I strongly doubt if IRCC will allow us to bypass the need for Spouse’s IELTS by simply marrying her after AOR.

Greetings to everyone!
I had an update for this schedule A thingy today. I downloaded the pdf but the link for filling out the clarification document won't load the actual form, it keeps telling me to please wait and and download an updated Adobe reader. This I have done but still no way to actually view the document. I have a 7 day ultimatum and would really appreciate any pointers to get around this challenge.
Thanks in advance

Hello Seniors in the house

Pls what would you advice booking a direct flight from Lagos to Calgary or booking one to Toronto then having a lay off then hopping on another flight to Calgary?
Am asking because for the direct flight Lagos to Calgary there's about a 2hr wait before a the connecting flight from toronto to calgary. I am worried this might not be enough time to clear with immigrations.

einsteino:
ehm I don't think I qualify to answer that. This is because I still haven't decided to settle in Montreal, like I said, I may leave soon. From day 1, i made sure I kept my options open. I shied away from getting a lease, I refused to apply for a Quebec health card, you know pretty much anything to ensure nothing ties me down until I decide to settle here.

Guitarlife:
Hi guys any sure phone number or contact for this driving record letter. I have already sent a mail with my details on friday. Someone in FRSC that I spoke to said I should bring 50k . Help your guy abeg

Sissnene:
thanks a lot for your response. Mine came 7days after but sputum test culture only.

@missKeri and anyone else who may need clarity on graduation date and date qualified to work in your profession....your academic studies end date is the date you officially complete your studies. It usually coincides with the date your final results were issued or for most Nigerian schools, the date senate approved your results. Your graduation date is usually the date written on your degree or certificate. Graduation date often comes after your academic studies end date because different schools have different graduation periods. So, if you completed studies say on April 30th, 2017 and your degree was awarded April 30th, 2018, the date you first became qualified to work in your profession is April 30th, 2017.

Sissnene:
Many thanks, I get the point about pregnancy. But what I want to know is if the other processes will still proceed if an applicant has a medical history for which IRCC requires additional medical test. Will all other reviews be pending until the result of that test is out and medical is passed?
