You are a case

If your infants are less than 2yo, they get just 10kg each in baggage, only above 2yo gets the full baggage allocation. If you are flying via abj, pls go early so that you can reason with them one on one, i upgraded my foodstuff baggage to 32 kg with 22k and the remaining bag were max 24kg

Kwado87:
Congrats on your landing. I will be landing in Edmonton by month end via Ethiopian Airline... Please, how much did you pay for bag upgrades? What kg was the upgrade to? We'll be 2 adults, 2 infants, I believe we will be entitled to 6 bags of 23kg, is this correct?
Thanks. Congratulations once again on your successful landing.

Blessings

VERY LONG LANDING GIST!!!!(Directed by kunle afolayan)
So we decided to leave naija(via abj) on the 12th of september. Prior to that,packing wasnt easy as we had to dispose stuff, shed clothes and other unnecessary load we wont be needing. Went to the market to shop for foodstuff to travel with whick was very tedious cos my babe was heavy and i had to do most shopping. Let me advice those of u that are planning to come in october upwards, winter is not coming, winter is already here and it will disgrace all your naija clothings in one sweep.i went to fool masef with some jackets i bought thinking i was ready for the white walkers( if only i knew)...so fast forward to travel day. We flew Ethopian airlines. Take off was 1 pm so i decided to arrive at the airport by 8 so that i can deal with baggage early enuf before their eyes start to chuk for crowd and also to be able to get great seats for my people. Please you should have said all your goodbyes before going in for check in cos that matter na long process. We ddnt finish until past twelve( shedding excesses and negotiating on how much to pay for bag upgrades). By this time, hunger don dey blow, we decided to go outside to goan greet out people based on byebye finally (bad bad bad idea). Na so we start to snap, who dey cry dey cry.. we shaa entered airport and realised that there was queue for immigration and customs..by the time we were done, dem don dey board already so no time to even buy food (problem). We shaa entered plane and sat down hoping they will serve food asap only for me to notice that na so so alhajis and alhajas full the plane. I went to ask if we were on the right plane(make e no be say na saudi we dey go) and they said the plane will pass kano first. We got to kano and most of the alhajis and alhajas dropped (sigh) then new sets entered...all this one,dem still never serve food o..we shaa had a delay for 1:20 at kano before taking off to Addis Ababa...the flight was long shaa o..we slept and woke up when they were serving food..people of God, those people’s food no be here oo. If i had know, i for put one carton of gala for hand luggage, we just ate the chicken pieces on the food and the small bread on the side, the rest was history. Because of the delay at kano, we couldnt have a layover at addis, we had to immediately board the second aircraft to toronto (no time to stop and buy food again����)...but meanwhile, their airport and aircrafts are one in town, nigeria na learner by far if u want to hear the truth. We shaa took off and they served us the wakanda food again( we ate the chicken pieces and the bread only again)..by this time the hunger don dey finish out data..i just went to meet one of the hostesses and told her that we cant eat the wakanda food..people of God, dont be shy to talk when you need epp, you can just die..na so the aunty pack many bread and juice give us..we slept off and woke up almost at dublin. There was in flight entertainment so we had great movies to watch all thru. When we stopped at dublin to refuel, that was how village people attacked one passenger and they had to bring in paramedics to attend to the person. That one cost us like 2 hours..we shaa took off and landed toronto wch was very sunny and warm..as we landed, immigration documentation was long but smooth..they did not ask to check my pof (based on blood of God) and they were very nice to us..we then went to air canada to take out connecting flight to Edmonton but based on all the delay drama, we had missed the flight. They booked us for another one then we went to EAT������...when we landed edmonton, come and see ice freezing cold like say no be d same canada toronto dey...i activated my naija jacket but it was disgraced immediately..because of the delay, 4 out of out 6 bags ddnt land with us, so we gave them our landing address then proceeded home to eat some more..the following day, we went to get our sins, opem bank accounts and buy proper clothings..by monday we will register for health card and mans will start looking for work.. biko nu, anyone in Edmonton should pls reach out as i will like to meet people and know as e dey go..thank you and wakanda forever

I think it basically depends on what you want...i found a 3bd wth front and backyard and double garage in NW for 1200..the utilities and gym and in suite laundry is a great catch if u can afford it

sweetrie:
Please is this a deal or too expensive in south east Edmonton.

Fully furnished executive unit with 2 bed, 2 bathrooms (very convenient), in-suite laundry, separate storage room, fully stocked kitchen with all appliances and housewares for only $1695/ month with all utilities, secure underground heated parking, and free gym access. Or you can have it for $1495 where you pay your own utilities.

This unit is in an excellent family-friendly safe neighborhood, quick access to all services, amenities, schools, parks, shops, restaurants, grocery, etc. Very convenient public transit s/ bus top is less than 2 minutes walk.
Edmonton people please help. I need to have an idea of what to look out for. Thank you

smslive2:
Nice... Please i will be connecting soon cos i hope to land in NW Edmonton

Hello guys, i am happy to announce that i arrived Edmonton last night...please any Edmonton connect will be greatly appreciated..God bless

Good morning guys, i have been reading this thread and i must give kudos to the folks that are kind enough to answer questions on here..i have a few questions of my own..
-First, how long does it take after submission of passports at vfs before one gets it back? I will like to know when to start disposing stuff i wont be needing anymore.
-Secondly, what is the process like when one arrives at the airport in terms of immigration and the rest.
-Thirdly, how much would u advice a family of three to hold for survival before getting a job and the sort (i have a reative that lives there so we have where to sty for like a month or two).

Thanks and have a great day.

CanadianBae:
Oh Lord!! See as you dey announce PPR!

Congratulations!!!

Thanks ma'am..really appreciate

Newmum0615:
Wow....You are highly favoured o. May God not allow us miss good things. Congratulations.

Let me use this medium to share my experience, hopefully it will answer lots of questions here..
I started this journey after months of procrastination and fear of failure in january. I registered for Ielts and chose may 2017 so that i can practice on reading and writing tests (my weakest links)..my scores were great (8.5)..i submitted my application and entered the pool january 18th, i got ITA on the 22nd of January.. I saw hell trying to source for funds (your surest hopes might just fail u).. Medicals was complicated as there was issues with my BP (na money i dey find) so i had to do further tests till i was cleared.i submitted all my documents a week to my deadline and started waiting..pls guys always check ur email as u are checking ur status. These people sent me mail to send my passport since june and i ddnt see it cos i was focused on checking status (village people at work)..i saw the mail long after the validity had expired. That was how i went to beg them all over the online o. I also went to roll on the floor at vfs abuja. God in His infinite mercies touched their hearts and they asked me to send my passport.... Major thanks also to @osaze007, God bless u..

phf2be:
Na PPR you dey announce casually so? First you need to announce properly (loud it) and then share your timeline plus any lessons learnt...then pack your passport and go to VFS as already advised. Congratulations!

Thanks a lot.. I will go there first thing monday morning

Elfmannisback:
Go Abuja VFS office.

Good evening guys, i just got the mail to submit my passport. Do people still send documents to ghana via dhl or it is now being processed by vfs..i live in abuja by the way. Would appreciate advices..thanks

What it means is that they are waiting for Lasu to send ur transcript..u need to follow up with lasu as well cos Wes will still ask for another confirmation

Fm90:
Goodafternoon everyone..I am a bit confused concerning my wes evaluation.I graduated from lasu and I have processed my transcript to Wes since June.On checking the wes website it states that wes received my document that is certificate and transcript on 26th June 2018.Just lastweek July 12 I got a mail from wes that only my certificate was received and my transcript wasn't gotten by them.On tracking with the courier on wes website it showed my transcript has gotten to Wes but wes is still insisting they havnt received my transcript.Please house..what do i do..am so confused presently..

Good afternoon guys, i am new here. I got my ITA and uploaded my documents for submission since April 18 and since then, the only update i have gotten is that i have passed medicals..i check my profile every 2 days incase i missed the email alert but its still the same and i dont know if its normal..pls those of u that are more experienced can enlighten me. Thanks and God bless.
