Hello.

You will need a Schengen Visa (not Schengen Transit Visa) to transit between two European countries. Your Canadian visa doesn’t exempt you. I suspect your flight is with KLM or Air France. A Schengen visa cost 40k and takes about 2-3 weeks to process.

You will need to reroute your flight to go through only one Schengen country, then you will be exempt from Schengen transit visa due to your Canadian visa. I confirmed this on Netherlands Immigration page. They have a software there that produces an answer based on the information provided.

I will advise you reroute your flight to only Amsterdam. Getting a Schengen visa may be cheaper than rerouting, but there is the possibility of missing your flight when checking in and checking out if the layover period is short.

If you haven’t booked your flight yet, avoid going to two European countries and transiting through US($140 transit visa)

Thank you so much. I was worried and decided to visit the Airline office. They advised I reroute the flight and pass through just one EU country too.

Thanks, guys, for the help. Much appreciated.

One time in 2016i was to travel to US from Cyprus but was denied boarding when I got to Turkey because my flight was going to pass through Canada and I needed a transit visa. Reason given was that the connecting airport can only be accessed by entering into Canada not just passing through. I had to get a new flight ticket that passed through Italy and I was allowed to travel to US. Mind you I spent 14hours at the airport after landing before my connecting flight and could not even go to the connecting area until after about 10hours. That's one.
When returning I passed through Amsterdam and transited through the airport there back to Turkey before connecting back to Cyprus.

Another time when coming to Nigeria I used Egypt Air and we transmitted in Egypt and even slept over in Egypt in a hotel provided by the airline. Although our passports were held at the airport and returned to us the next day to board our flight despite not having a visa.


I hope this helps you?



You can also mail your airline to be sure.

Thanks a lot for this. Actually, in my case, I wouldn't be leaving the Airport. The website appears as though one may be eligible for exemption and wouldn't require a visa (but it's not fully clear). The airline customer service isn't even helping. I hope I can see someone that experienced this in the past.

I have never had transit in two Schengen countries on a single trip before, and that's why I'm a bit confused.

See: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/transit-schengen-visa/

Also, you can check under the exemption categories.

I have a valid Canada Visa, so perhaps I may qualify for an exemption.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I have a question, please. I will be travelling from Lagos to Canada and have layovers in two Schengen countries (France and Amsterdam). Someone said I would need a visa to transit in between two Schengen countries. How true is this? Have you ever had layovers in two European countries before connecting to Canada or the USA?

I will appreciate it if anyone can confirm this. Thanks

Titaniium:







I respect you guys' awareness on this forum. The medical request just dropped one hour ago.

Amen.. Thank you so much for your help. By God's grace, I will feed the house back of my progress.

HiSignature:
oh nice! I am impressed at the pace of your application.
I am looking forward to hear of your approval soon.

To all of us waiting. Qui sera sera... It can only be God.

HiSignature:
May I ask which country did you apply from?

Nigeria

Frankrobbn1:



You will be called for medicals soon! The good news is on its way. Sometimes medical request comes this way. Relax!

Thank you so much Senior, I'll update the forum as I progress

HiSignature:
The update is normal.
It only means that they are at the stage of reviewing your file for medical result, by the time they check and see the form uploaded that you require medical examination, then, they will send the form for medical request to you.
I believe that might happen tomorrow morning or sometimes next week.
I wish you all the best .

Thank you so much. I'll update the forum as I progress.

Prudento:


What do you mean u only uploaded medical request form?

The form you're to upload when you didn't do upfront medical exam.

Titaniium:

I'm in exactly the same situation. I don't know if this a good sign.

Let's hope for positive message from them

Bodmillz:


Expect a medical call tomorrow.

Wow.. I pray oo.. Thanks

joe10:


Others are normal only Medical result which ought to read 'You do not need a medical exam, we will send you a message if this changes' Are you sure you didn't do upfront medical? Cos the information there is strange

I didn't do upfront medical, yesterday it was showing "You do not need medical, we will send you a message if this changes",

this afternoon, I'm seeing this medical review stuff

Hello Seniors,

I just checked my CIC account again today, and saw that "They're reviewing the results of my medical exam"


Please note, I didn't do any upfront medical. I only uploaded medical request form.

Basically, eligibility, medical and background check now under review.

Is this normal?

Find attached picture to understand me better.

Thanks in anticipation.

Maxihyfr:



U r lucky.. I believe some applied april and still nothing yet..

Wow. God will make us smile soon. I didn't do upfront medical. Please do you have idea of how much medical cost in Lagos designated hospitals

Stevresma:
Can you waive off the application fee for the master card scholarship at UP in South Africa

I don't think you can waive application fee at UP. But then, shoot the MCF of UP an email to make inquiry.

Best wishes

nivlek000:


Really fast. They should do me like that na. Applied since 20th April. Still on background check.

God will do the best for us all

kylexy61:


Yes. They normally don't send emails when they start eligibility review.

Thanks you Senior

It's well bro... Let's hope for the best

Bodmillz:


That was fast. I applied 21 May, had biometrics taken 23 May. No update yet on my application.

Vickfrance:
McGill and university of California

The 2 schools won't accept undergraduate applications again. They'll only be accepting graduate applications

Bodmillz:


Please when did you apply and what route?

Applied on 24 May, 2018. Biometrics 28 May, 2018. Online route.

Hello Seniors,

I just checked my CIC account now, and found out that "They're currently reviewing my eligibility", and Background check also under review.

Does that mean one may not necessarily receive email update when they start eligibility reviews? Because I didn't get any email to that effect.

HiSignature:
Ayoade is right. if you click on the subject link to read again, the date read will automatically change to the day read. So it changes everytime you click on that link.

I don't think so.. Mine still showing normal date I 1st read it. May 24.
