Please did anyone do medicals for Canada tourist visa?

Desmondola2020:
My application with Belgium took 6 weeks. I and my wife got a month visa. Picked up my passport today

Congrats. Can you actually spend the full 1 month back packing through Europe or you’re only allowed 10 days?

Jetline:

Wow congrats, it came out so fast. Has Canada started clearing their backlog? Thought it usually took 3-6 months

My visa was refused. Can I please get tips for my reapplication? I’m going to add my personal account POF together with my sponsor’s this time but is there anything else that can increase my chances?

Exceldamsel:
They didn’t collect the checklist from my mum as well, just the courier payment receipt was given to her so it’s fine

Please how can we track the courier without that receipt?

dubaiprince:
Please may I check with those that have attended appointments at VFS. Did they collect your signed checklist? The checklist says it should not be signed till you get to the appointment. My sister went for her appointment yesterday and she is worried vfs did not collect it from her. Though we uploaded the checklist but it was the unfilled and unsigned version. Also, she was expecting to get a slip to be presented for passport collection like we normally get with TLS but got nothing.

With TLS, the application most times get transferred to UKVI on the date of appointment but VFS application tracker has shown no movement.

I know I have said a lot here but just want to be sure our experience is in line with others and we have not left out any process at the appointment.

They didn’t take mine either just the photocopy of the appointment letter

Phav:
I did my biometrics on November 25th in Lagos, and I'm eager to know if anyone who did their biometrics around the same time has received a decision email yet.

Same here, yet to receive mine

Is flying from Cotonou still cheaper than Lagos? And will you be asked why you chose to fly from there at the point of entry?

Please is a hotel reservation alone sufficient for the point of entry immigration officers? Or it must be a paid booking. Incase they ask & call the hotel to confirm.

This is a great thread. I'm a 4c blogger at https://naturalhairteens.

By applying online or is there an agency for that here?

Hi, I'm thinking about studying there but it's hard to find non polish people who are studying medicine there in Poland.

If you are studying there or in another medical school in Poland, pls let me know, I have some questions, thanks.

I'm natural,went from twa to bra length in 1yr & 6months this may,I'm so happy to see relaxed ladies wt healthy regimens & hair.If I knew all these wen I was relaxed,I probably wouldn't av gone natural.

I want to share 10 dry hair n breakage tips from my blog,it applies to both naturals & relaxed ladies & gents

Dry hair is very common among
naturals.Because of our hair pattern
especially those like me in the type 4
range,moisture takes longer to go down
our strands & by that time,it might have
evaporated.

We hear the the word ‘moisture’ every
time yet some over look it.My hair drinks
moisture like crazy & not giving it that
leads to dryness which leads to
breakage.

For some,their hair just doesn’t hold
moisture no matter how frequently they
moisturize.Below I’ve written some
solutions & tips for dry hair & breakage.

Dry hair & breakage tips & solutions:

1) Add a humectant to your regimen
Humectants are simply substances that
attract & hold on to water.Examples are
honey,aloe vera & glycerine. Add them to
your leave ins,moisturizers, conditioners &
deep conditioners. This is especially for
those whose hair find it hard to hold
moisture.eg of a leave in with glycerin,see
my post Simple Glycerin Leave In Spritz
For Dry Hair

2) For breakage do protein treatments
Does your hair feel & look limp & lifeless ?
You might need a protein treatment. Your
hair is made up of protein & a weak hair
structure needs it.I love Africa’s best hair
mayonnaise because it’s also a leave in
protein treatment.

3) Check your shampoo
Some Shampoos can dry out your hair &
make your conditioner seem ineffective.
Avoid conditioners containing ‘ sulphates’ .A
simple test to know if your shampoo dries
out your hair is to check how your hair
feels after using it & before applying a
conditioner.To prevent hair drying out
from shampoos,do a pre poo.See also my
post on ……simple oil shampoo

4) Do the loc method of moisturizing
In the loc method,you apply a water based
leave in or just water,an oil then a creamy
moisturizer or butter.This ensures that the
moisture from the leave in doesn’t
evaporate,leaving your hair dry in an hour.

5) Avoid the ‘hand in hair syndrome’
It might seem funny but over playing with
your strands is manipulation. Just leave it
alone.I like playing with my hair,I over did
it sometimes & ended up with frizz & some
strands that follow my fingers out
*precious hair*.I prefer leaving it alone to
avoid strain on the strands.

Note: I have natural hair but this applies to everyone

I’ve seen a lot of people having
problems with gels and styling creams,so I
decided to write this to wrap up this
week’s posts

Let’s start with styling gels

When I was relaxed,I used black
gels,which made my hair very stiff.I
couldn’t comb my hair after except I
washed it off.I thought it was normal and
correct. When I returned natural,I totally
avoided gels & activators of all kinds.

Most gels leave flakes & residue on hair
after drying.Some provide hold but makes
our hair stiff & plastered to our scalp. I
hate all these problems & didn’t want to
risk my hair breaking like a twig.

I don’t recommend black gels.A
colourless gel is better.These solutions are
very easy & your choice depends on you.

Solutions to gels that flake & make hair
stiff.

1) Make a curling pudding with the gel.
See my post How to make a curling
pudding from just 3 basic ingredients you
already have. It leaves your hair
moisturized while still providing hold.

2) Add an oil:
Favorites include olive,coconut & castor oil
among others.An oil prevents your hair
from drying out.Few gels like ecostlyer gel
with olive oil,comes with an oil.If yours
doesn’t,just add an oil.

No 2 is ideal for those whose hair gets
weighed down with too much products &
need light products.

there are other uses,what point did I miss?

Any other coconut oil lover here? Coconut
oil is loved by many people,even an holy
grail for some.I use it on my hair & make
sure most of the store bought hair
products I have contain it.It has great
penetrating and moisturising properties for
hair & body.

I love multi tasking products so I decided
to search for other ways to use coconut
oil.These are a few:

1) As a shaving cream
2) As an eye cream
3) As a deep conditioner
4) As a moisturizer (both hair & body)
5) For oil cleansing your face
6) To soothe cracked & dry ankles &
elbows
7) With sugar as a facial scrub
As a lip balm (yummy!)
9) On scars
10) Oil pulling (a way to use oil for mouth
cleansing)

Hope this helps! I'll answer any questions you may have & also share what you use coconut oil for.
