Thanks CHIKACIC. I appreciate it

CHIKACIC:
My views:

I booked/used a one-way ticket.

Hello CHIKACIC,

Please did you book a return ticket when you booked with the airline? Is a return ticket required at the Nigerian Airport and Montreal Airport in Canada?
What could possible make the CBSA return the Asian international student apart from studentship verification with the school?

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

CHIKACIC:
Part 20! Yes oooo. It’s good to be here again and give back to the community that I gained so muccccch from. You all are part of my success story and may all PPR hopefuls keep hope alive.

Landing Gist:

I arrived at the airport around 4:30pm for my 8:30pm flight, with my hubby and big bro. Hubby went to park the vehicle, so I went into the airport with my bro. My bags (2 check in bags, 1 hand luggage and my laptop bag)

Hello NairaLanders

Please when booking flight for someone travelling with student visa, do I need to book a return ticket also?

Is a return ticket required for student visa for travel?

@Linana and others that have travelled, your input is needed.

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

Hello Nairalanders,

Can one take Covid-19 test on Two days to the day of departure? Like for example take the test Tuesday for someone traveling on Thursday? Is it up-to the 72 hours validity?

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

Good afternoon Everyone,

Congratulations to PPR recipient and more favour to PPR hopeful.

Please where in Lagos can I get good cloths(Native materials and some Jean) to buy?

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

Good morning Nairaland,

I read a moment ago that Authorization letter was required for a Canadian bound traveller by the Airline staff(Turkish airline). Please what is this Authorization letter and what is it about?

Thanks.

Good evening Nairalanders,

Hello Residentourist,

Have you also received your LOI and Counterfoil? How long does it take to receive LOI and Counterfoil after Visa has been stamped on passport.

Thanks.

Residentourist:
I submitted the documents at DHL office, Lekki at close of work on Thursday 10th June, On 11th which was a Friday I got a notification that it had been received in VFS Abuja. Unfortunately, Monday was a public holiday to celebrate June 12th.
I got the passport delivered to my address on Monday, 21st June 2021. In all, it took 10 days or better still 5 working days.

Good evening Nairalanders,

Is there an expiry time for visa after it has been issued? I mean is there a timeframe for one to travel after passport has be stamped and returned?

Thanks in anticipation for a response.

OCT202020:
The vaccination is done in phases, and I think July 7th was the last day for the recent batch.
I believe we should have some nairalanders in medical line ,who'll feed us with the correct info.

Thank you @OCT202020. Please house whoever that has information on how to get vaccinated with the Astrazeneca vaccine for first dose should kindly help me.

Thanks in anticipation for a response.

lawfree638:
This is true and equally not totally true. I'm sorry for using both.

It's true because an official once told me Vaccine is running low and wouldn't be a full scale till August.

However, I can categorically tell you that Vaccine is available (both first and second dose) but it's been hoarded. The playbook is knowing someone that can help, at times, it comes with a cost (the Nigeria scenario).

You can take the first dose today if you see a center that is administering such and in the next six weeks, then the second dose.

Thank you Lawfree638 for your swift response. Do you know of a center or probably someone that can help me get the first dose?

Thank you in anticipation for a response.

Good morn]ng Nairalanders,
May God favour everyone who is expectant of PPR and medical request from IRCC.

Is it true that government approved centers NO LONGER ADMINISTER THE COVID-19 VACCINE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT? Is it true that vaccination is on hold till AUGUST? What is the shortest possible time one can get vaccinated for the first dose precisely.

Thanks in anticipation for a response.

tracy0803409:
Please Family, for those that have done their medicals in Lagos, which is better IOM or Qlife?

Pls advice needed, thanks in advance

Both are good. Just that q-life is a bit cheaper than IOM. Q-life is N40,000 while IOM is 46,500. Where do you reside or where are coming from. IOM is in the mainland while Q-life is in Island of Lagos state.

Lianna2020:
I booked for 30 days

No, it’s not my final destination.

Just a place to stay for now till I’m ready for a permanent location .

Thank you, sorry I am asking you alot. @Lianna, Like how much does it cost for 30 days or 11days?

Thank you.

Lianna2020:
Wouldn’t know but my Airbnb apartment is shared , like we share the common areas . So personally I’d say you can.

Thank you Lianna. Is the Airbnb apartment your final destination? If not, how much did you pay for Airbnb for the remaining 11 days quarantine period?

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

@Linana, please after the mandatory three days quarantine at a government approved hotel, can one complete the 11 days quarantine with a family member in Canada? For instance I'm an Ontario bound traveller, and I do my three days quarantine in Montreal, is it out of order to complete my 11 days quarantine with an family member in Ontario?

Please Linana, and others, I need your response.

Thanks in anticipation for an answer.

CHIKACIC:
See attached and it is usually 6 weeks interval.

Hope this helps.

Thank you CHIKACIC. does the vaccine have any mild reaction? Is it still possible to received the first dose and what days is it administered?

Thanks.

Good morning Nairalanders,

Congratulations to everyone who has received their PPR last week. May God's mercy and Favour be upon the applications of those waiting for IRCC for a favourable decision.

Please house where can I take the vaccine in Lagos? I mean Government approved location where I can take the first and second doses of the vaccine in Lagos. What is the interval between the first dose and the second dose of the vaccine.

Please I need you response.

Thanks in anticipation for a answer.

elenewton1:
Good evening. Based on recent experiences from PPR guys, Abuja is faster and they get it back within 10 days. Lagos is within a month though.
All the best.

Okay, thank you.

Good evening Nairalanders,

Please how long does it take Lagos VAC to stamp and return passport after it has been submitted? Between Abuja VAC and Lagos VAC which of the centre is fast for passport stamping? Those that have got passport request before kindly answer so I can get response to someone.

Thanks in anticipation for a response.

Good day everyone here,

Congratulations to those that have received their Love Letter (PPR) so far and may the Lord favour others waiting for this milestone achievement. There is no day I don't visit NairaLand because of the insightful contents here. Just a quick question:

1. I want clarification on this Passport stamping, let me ask beforehand. How long does it take Lagos VAC to stamp and return passport after it has be delivered to them? Which is preferable Lagos or Abuja?

2. How and where can one get the Consent form to add to the Documents that is required for passport stamping?

I sense the Love Letter will show soon looking at the rate it is going.

Thanks in anticipation for an answer.

Thanks for your swift response. What i mean by abnormal is 145/81.

Akannitommy:
Not really. Although I would want you to state what levels you meant by abnormal so those who are medically qualified can comment, because I am not. I can't remember what my own level was back then but you can check my post in August/September 2020 for some idea.

I had a relatively higher BP when I had my medical too and still passed it. I think the most important components of your medical exam is that no indication of organ damage/issues. One way is to check the Cardiologist's report and the Serum Creatinine test result. If the HBP is not an indication of a problem with these ones or any other problem, then you are good to go.

HBP may be more common than most of us think - in Nigeria considering the stress we go through on the average - but also very dangerous if not managed. But on its own (within certain limits, I assume), it is not enough ground for medical failure/refusal in this student visa context.

These are my own personal experience and thought to share in response to your question.

Thanks TennieYF

TennieYF:
Lol, I don't know about BP, but my heart rate was also high during mine, they tried 3 times and it was still high (guess I was nervous). So the guy wrote it like that in red pen sef! But they still updated my medicals to pass. So I don't think it'll be an issue.
Hope this helps!

Good afternoon everyone,

Is abnormal Blood pressure a red flag in medicals? Kind of nervous in medicals.

Thanks in anticipation for an answer

Okay, thank you for your prompt response.

Please could you share the link you used for the payment with me so I can share with a friend. How long does Lagos take to process passport stamping after it has been submitted to Lagos VSF?

Thank you in anticipation for an answer.

Tiara97:
I didn’t do biometrics in Abuja so I paid to the Canada collection account and attached a proof payment with my passport and consent form. Abuja is definitely faster, got my passport back in 6 days.

Please, was it Abuja you did your biometrics? If no, then how did you pay the N7430 Transmission fee to Abuja VSF to enable you do your passport stamping there?

Between Abuja and Lagos VSF with is faster for Passport stamping?
Thanks in anticipation for an answer.

Tiara97:
Hello guys, thank you so much for the well wishes and congratulations to all those that have received PPR recently.
Finally got my passport back today and the feeling is amazing. Imagine my visa was issued since 28th of May but I didn’t get PPR until 14th of June.
Anyway, I submitted my passport on the 15th June, received counterfoil 17th June and LOI 18th June, Abuja is the way! For those waiting please don’t give up, it will be worth it eventually. I’ll be back with my landing gist.

Good morning everyone,

Please I need IOM lagos contact numbers that I can use to reach them, because I tried all the numbers on the PDF I download from the website but none has gone through for some time now.

Kindly help.

Thank you in anticipation for a response.
