Lianna2020: Soft landing gist I booked Ethiopian airline for 1:40pm. I said my final goodbyes and moved to the airport. I got there by 9:30 thinking I’m late because of the story I read here as per queue but there wasn’t any. They didn’t allow my husband to enter and I had to tip them 500. We proceeded to where they were suppose to check my bag but the woman asked for money n we moved to declare agricultural product, I had just one bag and I paid 2,000.
Next was to get my boarding pass. My bag was 43kg and so didn’t need to pay but paid 1000 to wrap my Ghana must go that had my foodstuffs.
I was asked for my passport , enrollment letter , arrive can , hotel for quarantine and COVID-19test result.(everything was printed out so was easy to find).
Everything was so smooth until the man said my covid 19 go soon expire by the time I reach . Na that time I wan cry , pe village people u must show yourself o. I waited for 30 minutes plus, the sneakers self pain me join , I come Dey frown face, the old man slow join, come Dey read bible abi wetin to show my covid go expire. I sha pretended and maintained my calm.
After series of back and forth, I was allowed to move to where we have the computer so I can scan my pp.
Then I was issued my yellow card where I have to fill my form and my boarding pass . That’s how one man said let me help you fill your form , olodo me allowed him, when he wrote my first name then nairaland tip hit pe, this man wants money like this o. I told him, don’t worry o, I go fill am, I filled it myself and when I was about to return his biro, he said find joy for your brother now, chai I said to myself , upon say I don read landing gist here back to back , I still looseguard. I sha gave him 500 naira.
I moved to eat and told my hubby to take all naira as e don finish , pe no more tipping then moved to final e boarding gate where we have the immigration officers. First officer checked and asked for tip.by that time no more naira as I wouldn’t have thought , uniform people go want tip .I gave him 1 dollar and he said just one ? I said sorry o. I was now directed to the second person where he checked and asked my my Canadian address and Nigerian address, I gave my Airbnb addrsss and number and did my fingerprint and he asked for tip too before stamping my pp. I gave him 1 dollar n apologized that I didn’t think I’d need to pay in here hmmm. Then final final checks again, by that time I don tire , they checked my handbag and saw dried meat wey I wan Dey munch small small, the woman said I don see exhibit , settle your girl, for my mind, u no see shishi but I go sha giv u because na Poe Dey my mind like this.
Luckily I saw 1,000, I gave her and was seated for my flight . We boarded 13:00and moved around 2:00 against 1:40.
I thought WiFi was free but na only WhatsApp he work for so had to buy WiFi so I can watch my Korean film but WiFi was limited too so ended up watching nothing but was thankful I could chat, maybe it was the WiFi package I took. Their food was terrible sha but I had to eat , dried beef came to my rescue.
We landed Addis Ababa 20:49pm , thank God I had someone directing me as I no sabi where to where . After all checks ,I was asked for my pp, covid 19 test result, and booked hotel and I was allowed in .
We left for Dublin from Addis around 11:pm and it was a smooth ride, when I read in-house music, I had thought it will be a cool jam coming from one of those vent up there but no it was one boring set of songs you have to listen to(sad).
I had three seats to myself as no one was there so I was able to stretched n lie down well. By all means download movies and music, iPhone do me strong thing o, not even Netflix . I was now waiting for WiFi atleast let me chat now , that’s how the hostess said no WiFi (cries). Boredom pro max . Had to manage the dry songs n watch few interesting movies.
Then I was given declaration form , I kuku didn’t understand most of what they wanted but I sha filled something . The most confusing thing for me was the time difference, my time kept changing as weather chai.
We were served rice with chicken , Na so I no fit chop am because hmmm, I like eba and afang and so everything was strange. I told them to give me the dry bread n butter n water.
We got to Dublin around 6:35 am and some passengers dropped and we waited for 45 mins still seated for refilling n all that. We got to Toronto around 8:am(again time difference).
I filled my covid form on the system provided n was given a slip, proceeded to immigration, I was asked for passport , loa and school fees receipt, then he gave my study permit to me and went further by telling me about the 20hrs allowed for work .
I was there waiting for more question but none , I also waited for welcome to Canada , rather he said enjoy your stay and that was it.
Moved to take my connecting flight to Vancouver, that’s how they told me I must quarantine in Toronto, told them my mandatory hotel stay was booked in Vancouver and my flight would soon move , them no hear , had to cancel my booking and rebook in Toronto .
Please no matter where you going in Canada , as far as you stopping at Toronto, reserve your hotel in Toronto, that’s the only way they will allow you move further.
Did my covid test and was given a test kit to retest a week after and then we were taken to our hotel . Currently quarantining at Toronto before moving to my final destination.
For all PPR hopeful , I wish everyone nothing but good news. Amen. Congratulations ma |

Lifeis247: Update:
Application submitted 9th May with upfront medicals and IELTS. Biometrics 10th May. Since then, no further update whatsoever, just silence. I was just reading up on how to request for GCMS note this week. Then, checked my profile this morning to see Medicals updated to pass 28th June and the Original Passport Request and Correspondence letter dropped in my profile this morning (29th June).
I must thank @Lekiboboe especially for looking at my SOP twice. God Bless you man!. Thanks to everyone supporting this platform with helpful tips and guides.
Also; I want to confirm if a single dose of the vaccine qualifies one for quarantine waiver or one must complete both jabs before a waiver is possible? Congratulations Canada will favour you IJN AMEN |

CANADA HAS BEEN A BIG DREAM OF MINE. I’VE BEEN ALMOST EVERYWHERE BUT CANADA (LOL).

I FASTED, KEPT DOING MIDNIGHT PRAYERS AND JOINED NSPPD PRAYER ALTAR WITH PASTOR JERRY EZE DAILY, BECAUSE THERE’S A HUGE POTENTIAL BUSINESS/CAREER OPPORTUNITY I’M HOPING TO EXPLORE IN CANADA AFTER MY STUDIES AND THIS ROUTE IS THE BEST WAY I KNOW TO ACHIEVE IT.

Application Timeline:
Application Submitted: 4th March, 2021
Biometrics Done: on 25th September, 2020 (yet to be updated on my GC Key account/portal).
Background Check: commenced 5th March, 2021
Upfront Medical: 25th February, 2021 (submitted with my application on 4th Mar. But was only updated on 16th June same day after I resent it)
Ordered GCMS Notes: May 25th
Received GCMS Notes: June 24th (nothing much was in it). Was contemplating sending another one next week.
Eligibility Review: commenced 24th June
BVL/PPR: June 26
Going for a 1yr PG certificate.
This was a 2nd Application. First application I did not include any of the above documents. I was a complete novice. (Lol). I didn’t even include my Tuition receipt or CAC or property docs, nothing at all, just my LOA, qualifications and passport that’s all.
But thank God for Nairaland where I learned everything I needed to know for a successful application (especially, as a self-sponsored applicant).
Also, since I didn’t include vital docs in my last application, I decided to overload them with documents this time around 
I keyed in to @justexcellent testimony of his approval and wrote out the same prayer points he used while I fasted earlier this year.
God bless you all richly and establish us in our quests for destiny fulfillment. A big thank you goes out to @frankrobbn, @justmellow, @justexcellent (for that wonderful and inspiring testimony), @lekiboboe for your tireless constant help here, and of course to everyone new and old who has contributed to the success of this thread thereby helping fulfill destinies. God bless and reward you all abundantly in Jesus Mighty name.
End Note: my love letter arrived while I was praying this morning by 4am. Didn’t realize it until I checked by 12noon thereabout.
Didn’t know they send PPRs on Saturdays!!!
INDEED WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST. Congratulations |

Kobayashi01: Good morning my people. Long post alert.
Firstly, I’ll like to thank Almighty God for coming through for me. I just got PPR.
Timeline Did upfront medicals: March 28 (IOM) Applied: April 7th Background check started immediately Biometrics updated: April 12th
Medicals updated to passed: April 13th Eligibility review started: Around April 28 (I didn’t note this, it was until I discovered this thread I knew it was noteworthy) Orders GCMS notes: June 11 Emails and web forms to Lagos and Nairobi: June 16 Bvl and PPR: June 23 (7:50am)
First time applicant. I discovered this thread after I had applied and I immediately noticed some mistakes….. I didn’t submit my BSc transcript and I had lump sums moved to my dom account, although I briefly stated that the funds were transferred by my immediate family members in my LOE (this was verifiable from the statement’s inflow) and I also had almost zero outflow on the account.
I submitted personal MBS, papers statements of my sponsor and IELTS with my application so there was no NSE request. My brother is a Canadian PR and he is my sponsor. I had tuition for 1 year and flight money in my GTB Dom account and he had my 10k CAD living cost set aside in a savings account of his.
I’m 25 years old and my program starts in August. For home ties, I used a property that was gifted to me by my mum, my parents and my job.
When I saw that people who applied after me were getting PPR requests, I started to lose faith. My mum saw I was down, prayed with me and I felt enlightened again. I want to encourage you all to keep the hope high. God will do it. Congratulations |

iampaulsmith: LANDING GIST…Long post alert
British Airways- Lagos to Heathrow My flight was for 10:55pm so I got to the airport around 5:40pm. There was a very long queue at the entrance of the departure hall (omooo a lot of people are travelling oo) and it took about 30 mins to get inside. The custom guys at the entrance scanned my bags and still asked me to open them. Las las they wanted to ask for money…#500 for them sha. Then, there are these guys called Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service Plant Health. So, they will ask if you have any agricultural products in your bags and ask you to declare them in a form. You will be asked to pay #2000 for each bag that contain agricultural products. In my case I had food in three bags, but I told them two and I paid 4k cause I couldn’t imagine paying 6k. If possible, ensure you pack your food together in a bag (if a bag can contain your food items). Let me add that it is best to use ghana must go for your food stuffs and not box. In my case I bought the thick ones, and you can wrap it at the airport. To my surprise, nobody asked for the certificate issued at all so the 4k felt like a waste of money.
For B.A you must fill a locator’s form as you can’t enter the U.K. without it. When they noticed that I was going to Canada as a student, I was taken to a lady. She asked for my enrolment letter, admission letter and study visa. She snapped and sent it someone on WhatsApp and after about 5minutes she said I was cleared and I was checked in. Immigration was easy, they asked for my Canadian address and phone number. I just gave them my Airbnb address (who dem epp) and Nigerian number. Of course, they asked for cash also but I jokingly said there is no money on ground ooo. I got to Heathrow by 5:30 am and the check was way easier than Nigeria but the downside was that my flight to Toronto was for 5:00pm. So I had to wait for almost 12 hours but then the flight from London to Toronto is just 7hrs which is better than the 16hrs from addis ababa. Netflix and other things came to my rescue. I didn’t really feel it cause there was free Wi-Fi & a place to charge. Hunger wire me ehn, I had to eat twice. GTbank card came to the rescue.
The flight to Toronto was fine. We were barely 50 in a plane meant for about 300 people. Enough space to sleep. At the airport, our flight was the only one arriving at that time so there was no queue everywhere. After filling a form on the machine, I got a slip and proceeded to a place where they asked for covid test result & hotel reservation. Then I proceeded to a border officer who asked for my school, course, and where I did my first degree. She asked for my enrolment letter & admission letter. She asked if I had started classed online. I told her I started back in January and quickly chipped in the 7hrs difference between Calgary and Nigeria and staying up all night to study. She felt sorry for me and immediately issued my study permit. She asked if the issued timeframe is enough for me, I simply said yes. She also asked if I plan to work part time, I just said no! And that was it!!!
Then Covid test at the airport. I swear it is way better than the way they conduct covid test in Nigeria. I cannot forget how that man at the govt hospital chuk my nose the other day. I didn’t want to change USD to CAD at the ridiculous rate at the airport, so I tried using ACCESS BANK, UBA, GTBANK STANBIC. Only Stanbic allowed me to withdraw with their Nigerian card. I called my hotel, and they sent a taxi to pick me. My covid result came on the second day but I had already booked my flight to Calgary and I just couldn’t let the hotel enjoyment go to waste since my school covered my hotel quarantine (a bursary thing I was eligible for). After the three days, I moved to Calgary…four-hour flight from Toronto, damn! This country is so big it should be a continent on its own. I’m almost done with my 11days. Staying indoor for a long time can be really boring but whenever I look through the window and see that the environment is different, I just smile and feel good again.
Congratulations to everyone that got their PPR recently. To everyone still awaiting a response, nothing will hinder your testimony in Jesus name. The joy at the end is enough to overshadow the stress and pain. Right now, I don’t care anymore that my application took almost 8 months. Looking forward to seeing more good news on this thread. Prospective University of Calgary or Alberta folks can hit me up, I’m willing to help in any little way I can. God bless us all! Congratulations, Thanks for this |

Dabricious: LONG POST ALERT:
Good morning my people, I've come to share my timeline to encourage others just the same way I was encouraged with other people's timeline. God's time is truly the best.
Timeline 1st application: 30th August 2020 Biometrics:2nd September 2020 Refusal letter: 11th September 2020 I had 4 reasons for refusal - purpose of visit - limited employment prospects in my country -my current employment situation -personal assets and financial assets. The decision was made from their China office.
At that time I didn't know what gcms notes were and I wasn't active on nairaland so I just decided I will re-apply.
2nd application-23rd of February NSE request:16th March Submitted Mybankstatement(Submitted my own and my brother's company account statement) on the 29th March and also wrote to them to go through the normal route because I didn't have ielts (i had but my writing score was 5.5) upfront medical : 29th of April Medical passed: 19th April All these while my profile was still on background check. I became active on nairaland towards the end of May and I started reading other people's testimony/experiences and I started wondering when me too I will share my own good news. Before now, I could stay for 2 weeks without checking my profile but when I became active here, I started checking twice a day�. I didn't even know what ghost update meant and had never taken note of it until I read about it here and started looking out for it. 1st ghost update: 7th June 2nd ghost update: 9th June Checked my profile and noticed they just updated that eligibility review has started Bvl: 10th June 8:38am Ppr : 10th June 8:42am I just fell on the floor and started thanking this faithful God. Mine is a testimony because its a switch from my first degree 1st degree was computer science, then I gained admission in George Brown College to study Culinary Management. Since after my service year in 2015, I've been actively doing catering business. I did a short diploma course with red dish culinary school in Lagos and have a certificate from it so I added it in my application. My elder brother is my main sponsor but used his company account to sponsor me, my elder sister also wrote a letter saying she will be supporting me financially and she put her offer letter and pay slips. I also showed about 4.6m in my account. Also, for more than 2 years, my brother's company has been paying me monthly because I cater for their lunch so this also helped as I indicated it as salary.
I put in a lot my brother's company documents even existing contracts they have with some IOC'S. I also submitted an Affidavit of support from the company.
I'm just so grateful to God because its not of him who Wills, nor of him who runs but of God who shows Mercy. Thank you to everyone here who kept our hope alive by sharing their own testimonies, you don't know how seeing good news here helped me believe mine will soon come.
For everyone waiting for their good news, it will soon come In Jesus Name.
On a lighter note: I dey find cheap ticket now oh� Congratulations |

Please rejoice ooo, because it is not easy.
The long wait has been rewarded.
I got a refusal though, for home ties both in Canada and Nigeria. Apparently, my ties in Canada are way more than those in Nigeria. I will order GCMS note. I may reapply or opt for the US. But US is priority right now.
I wish you all a delightful outcome in your applications. We learn every day, and some experiences are worthwhile, even though they are a bit sad. But we move!
I applied on March 11 by the way.
March folks will be getting decisions. Stay blessed. Sorry bro, God will do the best for you Ijn Amen |
