Lianna2020:
LANDING GIST

300k for the extra 4 bags??

My flight was scheduled for 10:55 pm on Sunday.
We all went to the airport by 2:00pm because we had excess luggage and also to check in on time.
At 2, there wasn’t any crowd, we had 23kg into ten places (entitled to just 6 bags at 23kg) and paid 300k for extra luggage.

Things requested for at Nigerian airport:
1. Arrive can
2. Stamped visas
3. Enrollment letter
4. Covid 19 test

We finished all checks around 5:pm. Please no matter the time for your flight, try and get to the airport early because the crowd from five ehn!, I wouldn’t have meet up if I went late.

Tickets were printed out, yellow card given as well and passport scanned.

I said final goodbyes to my in-laws around eight and got checked in.

We used Lufthansa, we left 10:55pm and got to Frankfurt after 6 hours. We had layover of about six hours.

Things asked at Frankfurt by immigration.

1. Arrive can
2. Visas
3. Covid test result
4. Quarantine plan (14 days at Airbnb)

Our flight to Vancouver moved around 1:35pm on Monday (Germany time). It was the longest ten hours of my life. I never knew traveling with an active baby was this hard. They served their usual
Leaves but I no gree chop am because my turkey and meat Dey my bag Dey wait me(lol).

We got to Vancouver around 14:35(Vancouver time )on Monday . I filled arrival form on the system and moved to immigration.

At immigration in Vancouver, no cue or crowd at all.
Things asked by immigration:
1. Stamped visas of hubby , I and baby.
2. Hubby’s letter of authorization (the letter sent after your pp has been stamped ).

His work permit and baby’s visit visa was printed. No need for mine as i already had my study permit since July .
I waited for welcome to Canada and nothing ,yet again.

I and hubby got tested for covid at the airport and self test kit given for day eight test.

We moved to claim luggages(every bag complete ) there after entered taxi to our Airbnb for quarantine.

I wish everyone all the best.
Amen

Hello everyone!!
I had to finally learn how to comment here so I can share this.
Never knew how��‍♀️��‍♀️

PPR dropped on the 28th of September for myself and my 2 kids
May 15th First time Applicant
We all did upfront medicals.
My son’s medical was updated to pass May 26th
My daughter and I had ours updated to pass June 3rd
After then Silenceeeeeeee!!!!

Ordered GCMS notes through @anon came out nothing much there.

BVL and PPR came within minutes of each other on the 28th of September.

PPR for both my kids same day as well, mins after mine.

I applied for visit visa for my kids as I didn’t know I could apply for SP for them then when I was submitting my application.

I used my other 2 kids, my hubby and my job as home ties.

I got Study Leave approval from work

My hubby was my sponsor though I submitted my personal savings SOA, I didn’t submit my salary account. I submitted my Appointment, confirmation and promotion letters.

My hubby used his company account, got a letter from the bank to say he is the sole signatory to the account, I am a director, showed documentation for that, also submitted his contract documents to show source of funds.

Submitted marriage certificate
Birth certificate for all my kids, even those I didn’t apply for.

The visa pages on our passport for my kids and I
My hubby’s data page in lieu of consent letter for the kids, in his sponsorship letter he mentioned he would be solely responsible for the upkeep for the kids and I while still being able to adequately care for the ones I am leaving behind.

I notorized the sponsorship letter, affidavit of support and my SOP

Submitted IELTS and 1 year MBS for all the accounts I used.

I thank God it ended in praise.
The wait can be exhausting!!
Gosh!!! For all the months I was waiting, it was all I prayed about, especially that my kids get approved.
It shall it end in praise for others waiting for PPR.

Thanks to @frankrobbn for answering my questions via email.

Thanks @anon for answering my questions as well.

I appreciate ��
