The letter of enrollment we're to submit at the border, is it the unofficial one from the student portal or there's another one

Congratulations ���.

I guess the vaccine card has been scraped officially.

Landing gist
Nigeria to Montreal
Airline - Ethiopian Airlines

*Checkin - Nigeria
I was only asked for my passport which was scanned and then I proceeded to checkin my bags
I had 4 bags in total
2 to checkin both bags didn’t overweigh (I was even angry because I could have carried more things)
2 as carryon
Then I went out to say goodbyes to my family only my mum was allowed in.
Came back in and went to departure gates
Guess what I forgot one of bags where I met with customs.
I don already reach the gate before I remember
See me running like anybody could put drugs in my bag �
Thank God I met my bag where I left it.
I returned back to the gates because it was almost boarding time.
My flight time to Addis Ababa was for 1:40 but we didn’t take off till 2:15pm there about.
Ethiopian airlines aircrew fine o Choi I just Dey feed my eyes.
They served us rice with either chicken or fish
I picked chicken and then one small bowl with Something like rice as I put am for mouth I nearly vomit. Local girl like me
I kept drinking white wine in order for me to be able to sleep I go drink reach 6 bottles in total.
We landed Addis Ababa and it was cold not freezing cold but yeah it was cold
We didn’t stay long here we went straight to the boarding gates to head out to Dublin.
This flight was smaller than the one from Nigeria
No enough leg room
Plus I had two old couples sitting beside me
The woman took my spot that’s the window sit
I been Dey vex but they’re so old I couldn’t even tell the woman to move.
Now this flight has to be the most uncomfortable flight I’ve ever been on
Those old couples stressed my life in fact people for plane wey Dey my zone been Dey feel sorry for me.
Guys I suffered
I had to take care of them
I stood up more than 30 times I may be exaggerating but trust me I nearly wan cry.
Because of the weather the flight to Dublin was very bumpy we even reach one stage pilot begin Dey announce na so plane start to Dey shake.
See prayers ah because na on top sea we Dey.
We landed Dublin for refueling we didn’t come down from the aircraft.
Then we headed for Toronto which took 6hrs from Dublin
Flight was smooth just small turbulence here and there but it was okay.
We landed Toronto and I was like Omo na me be this o
I don japaaaaaa!!!
Then my next flight to Montreal was for 9:25am we landed in Toronto as at 8:40am
We were asked to sit somewhere and from there move to where we face immigration.
But as the inpatient person that I am
I walked up to the guy calling for international students that my next flight is for 9:25am is there any chance I can cut the line
He was reasonable enough
So be allowed me and 5 others to go to the immigration.
We were asked for our Letter of Introduction and was told to use the self declaration machine.
Then they started calling for our names and was given our study permits
But I still queued to be asked questions by the immigration officers.
Now na here I come Dey fear because I applied for Form A and my tuition hasn’t been debited so I don’t have my tuition receipt.
One immigration officer na woman she no get chills at all
She no Dey even smile
She was asking for more questions and also documents
I just Dey pray say God abeg I no want enter this woman front.
When it was my turn na her side free as I was approaching her she told me to hold on
Low key I was like ah thank God o
Then the man next to her was free
I sharply go meet the man
He was so cool
He asked the of my university
The location, I told him Quebec
He asked if I could speak French I said just a bit
Then my passport is expiring next year
He told me to quickly renew my passport so I can extend my study permit.
Then he said welcome to Canada enjoy your stay he sha stamp something and I left
Only for me to miss my flight to Montreal and was rescheduled for 6pm.
I sha explored the airport went out to see how cold it was. Omoooooooooooooooo it was so freaking cold!!!!!!!!
But I was excited
I took pictures, called my family
Bought something to eat.
Then headed to Montreal
So far it’s been good
It snowed for like 2days straight
I just Dey snap anyhow.
Little advice don’t wear shoes because you have to remove those shoes at every checkpoint
Which was very uncomfortable for me.
Carry snacks o
That airplane food get as e be
My belle just Dey pain me.

@johnstan.

Good evening fam. Happy Sunday

Has anyone flown Qatar airways recently. How was the total experience?

FranklynJonin:
Please @Oldfashioned145, how did you get a good deal going to Regina this late in December. Did you have to go to their office that's if the have one in Nigeria or did you book online?

I got admission in 2021. Then it was 2 months there about

angie88:
Congratulations sir. Pls how long did it take u to get admission in U of R

Got my passport back today from DHL after they delayed transit to Lagos for like 8 days ( they nearly frustrated me but God pass them) and My God how dearly I love you daddy, I can't stop staring at my counterfoil, I'm amazed at the wonders he's done concerning my life so far. The keeper of my sanity!

To my May applicants and everyone waiting for their PPR, its yours.

Claim it boldly.

I need a travel buddy going to Regina next week and also a roommate for a shared accommodation.

UNIVERSITY OF REGINA HERE I COME!

God bless this family.

What a glorious God indeed we have

Pls fam do I need a transit visa for a layover at Doha international airport? Finally got a good deal on Qatar to Regina.

Urgent response pls

Hi. I've gotten my LOI but no counterfoil update on my portal. Should I be worried.

CindyByFine:
My Japa Family,

@Johnstan @Rekaxingend @Makano and others, does this mean his passport is ready for collection?

Abi we go get email saying "Passport ready for collection"?

Pls do I need a transit visa for a layover at Doha airport and because I can't find a flight to Regina at a good rate, im thinking of booking for Edmonton or Winnipeg and booking a local flight to Regina.

Is that advisable?

Good morning.

If I take a flight to either of this destination, do I have to prebook local flight to Regina or when I get to the airport I'll do the booking there?

cooooooks:
Which route are you currently using?

Use wakanow, flightscanner, flighthub, air Canada.

Alternatively, fly to Montreal or Calgary or Toronto then fly to Regina.

I've been looking for cheap flights to Regina and can't seem to get one. Help me pls, the ones I'm seeing are quite expensive. Can anyone refer me to a site

My guy!!!

ericman77:
please , l need advice from professional i want carry croatia straight win for betting .the cashout is bigger than double if l put half my xmas bonus my boss pay me today ..any advice ?? for Croatia vs Argentina fifa qatar 2022 football world cup game today ..it urgent!

You book your medicals without IME number for upfront medicals ( ie without getting a medical request from IRCC). If you don't have one then its upfront and I think there's a column in IOM page where they ask if its upfront.

Moyosore019:
But what about someone who has applied, didn’t do the medicals before applying and wants to do it now (though the person has not gotten the go ahead from IRCC)? Checking IOM and I saw UCI and IME

You're to pay the transmission fee if you didn't do biometrics in Abuja and the courier fee of 18710 is for returning your passport back to your address if you can't get 2 way courier from DHL

Morai123:
Good Morning house please I want to send my passport to Abuja using DHL.. I want to know if the transmission fee is a different fee from the one way courier fee.. someone posted transmission fee paid 9930 and on their site I'm seeing one way courier 18710

I don't know if this means we might not need to present a vaccination card at the airport and I got from a friend that she wasn't asked for hers and she travelled 3 days ago

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. Grace truly speaks.

Welcome to Canada

pumpernickle:
it's ppr!!!!

Omo, this one everyone is travelling with it, it doesn't seem compulsory except in lagos airport so I guess we might need to get one.

johnstan:
Asking again no vex.
For recent travellers hope COVID vaccine/card was not compulsory.
As strict as masks were when I did biometrics at vfs in July, I went to retrieve my ppt in Nov and no one was wearing nose masks even though those touts hanging around scared people in buying one.

Hi. To anyone that travelled recently, did you carry palm oil

Happy Sunday fam. Pls is the rate for Egypt air still 444 and does anyone know if I'll need a transit visa for a stopover at cario?

Good morning, I've not booked my ticket, I've been hunting but the prices are a little extreme

okay4sure:
@Oldfashioned145 have you booked your ticket to Regina? Which airline please and what is the rate?

Hello @joedave25, were you asked for your vaccination card at the international airport in Lagos or Abuja.

Joedave25:
@ Franklynjonin,

You will be qualified for PTA from any commercial bank of your interest if you have valid return ticket of your choice airline.

However, how much you access and within what time it takes depends on your banker and who you really know that can push the transaction for you faster.

While Access bank,Gtbank and 1st bank will load (pay) the FX on a dollar card with maximum threshold of 4kUSD, Zenith bank avails maximum of 2,500USD cash.

You can travel with a maximum of 10k USD and you must not have a Canadian bank account prior to your trip.

You don't need covid 19 vaccine or arrivecan to embark on your trip to Canada

I arrived Canada two days ago (This Thursday).I'm writing authoritatively from the place of experience and knowledge.

I hope this helps.

All the best!!!!!

Congratulations.

A testimony indeed

gentleluv:
Hello house,

I need to know if a return ticket is necessary when booking flights online.

Anyone travelling to Regina this December. Let's link up.
