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.

Good evening everyone
This is a very long post and I think I need to voice out so that una go help me out.
Before I stable for this thread I and my husband got to know a woman who said she can help us get pnp and she insisted on 700k and we told her we will pay 400 or 500 there about, which she agreed and insisted on part payment bef any service....
We transferred 200k to her immediately on 18th of may 2021and she acknowledge the receipt....
She came back after 5days saying blablabla about occupation in demand. And she suggested school we decided to go in for school, she even said there's a body that loan students tuition fee and later she came back with another story...
For two weeks we didn't hear from her, she came back with IELTS expo that she will want us to rewrite In which we objected
.
She came back telling me that d woman will be the best to apply for school so that man go hussle, and that I will take another BA degree...but my instincts told me na lie.
I joined this thread early June and I read from the first page till the present.....
Everyone here contributed to the post I made here based on fashion.... And lekkibobo and others advices and drop schools to do research and I applied successfully......
Na so the so called agent came and said she's seen school NBCC to study business administration (diploma) and I objected Bec I have seen and read so much here....

I dropped voice notes that I don't have any idea about the course and will she realease any email and password she used and lo she sparked that we should send our account details that she will remove the money she spent. In which I have not seen something reasonable she's done......
Later she said she will apply on june28 after we messaged her.. fortunately the yeye business administration diploma she planned to apply for me has closed and I should send $100 to apply for another course which we equally turned down that she should send us our money that we are not interested again...she said we must apply by force
Abi 200k no b small money......
She said she no fit drop shishi, that no b 200k go carry me go canada..

Biko what's your advice.........how do I handle this


Biko I need my money back

Where did you do it, Qlife or IOM, Also is it Lagos? Did you get a medical request?
lolathegenie:
I did my medicals 21st of June, I hadn't gotten any updates from my CIC account, it was still showing 'you still need a medical exam'. I guess they hadn't received it yet. Yesterday I was conflicted between uploading the e-Medical info sheet and waiting but I just decided to upload it anyways. Just checked today and my status has been uploaded to passed. ��
Waiting on the correspondence letter now

(P.S. I'm a minor so I had to submit the custodianship form also. I'm still waiting for them to receive it. I'm nervous about this�)

I’m a guy lol

I’m looking to apply for an mba in University Canada west
dont make the same mistake sir,compare what you read in ur BSC and the Job u r doing now.some times career progression is key.u read accounting.though it's some how related to Business admin but if u are to leave account, u should go 4 a finance course.but if u insist u want to do an MBA,u must be able to explain y u want to go 4 MBA and what u will achieve in ur career in Nigeria by doing an MBA based on ur current work.also u should state that u r doing an MBA in finance. which means in ur 2nd year in MBA,u intend to specialize in finance management. it will surely end in praise. others that got a reject shud not be ashamed to share their time line here so that the abke gurus here can help repackage their app.God bless u all.mind u am not a guru ooo.am an applicant like u

Hello Everyone, i submitted my study permit application together with my family- me, husband and 2 kids- 3years and 1 year respectively on February 26th, 2021,To the glory of God despite all fears, it was approved by June 10th, 2021 but my dependents application is still yet to be finalized. is there a possibility that only mine will be approved despite indicating my intention to go with my family in my LOE?

@frankrobbn @justwise @Lekiboboe and all gurus in the house, from your experience with family applications applying together, what are the chances of approving my family's application and so far i have sent emails, raised webforms and requested GCMS notes but still no update yet. The silence is scary as i thought PPR will come together. Have you seen cases where it takes so much time apart between principal applicant and family members?

Also the written authorization stated in the IRCC website, please can it apply in this case? can i request it even though there is an ongoing/pending application.

Each of the applications will be processed differently by probably different VOs sef. So what you should do is to wait for decision on each of them.i think If it's a PR Application that everyone will be decided on once.

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.

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.

Each of the applications will be processed differently by probably different VOs sef. So what you should do is to wait for decision on each of them.i think If it's a PR Application that everyone will be decided on once.

I think this is not totally true, sir.

I have seen two cases where all PPRs came together. And the applications were dealt by the same VO.

@Babl, I'm sure your husband and your child will get feedback this July.

Just keep doing the needful and prompt IRCC as usual because they can sleep on steering.

Good evening everyone
This is a very long post and I think I need to voice out so that una go help me out.
Before I stable for this thread I and my husband got to know a woman who said she can help us get pnp and she insisted on 700k and we told her we will pay 400 or 500 there about, which she agreed and insisted on part payment bef any service....
We transferred 200k to her immediately on 18th of may 2021and she acknowledge the receipt....
She came back after 5days saying blablabla about occupation in demand. And she suggested school we decided to go in for school, she even said there's a body that loan students tuition fee and later she came back with another story...
For two weeks we didn't hear from her, she came back with IELTS expo that she will want us to rewrite In which we objected
.
She came back telling me that d woman will be the best to apply for school so that man go hussle, and that I will take another BA degree...but my instincts told me na lie.
I joined this thread early June and I read from the first page till the present.....
Everyone here contributed to the post I made here based on fashion.... And lekkibobo and others advices and drop schools to do research and I applied successfully......
Na so the so called agent came and said she's seen school NBCC to study business administration (diploma) and I objected Bec I have seen and read so much here....

I dropped voice notes that I don't have any idea about the course and will she realease any email and password she used and lo she sparked that we should send our account details that she will remove the money she spent. In which I have not seen something reasonable she's done......
Later she said she will apply on june28 after we messaged her.. fortunately the yeye business administration diploma she planned to apply for me has closed and I should send $100 to apply for another course which we equally turned down that she should send us our money that we are not interested again...she said we must apply by force
Abi 200k no b small money......
She said she no fit drop shishi, that no b 200k go carry me go canada..

Biko what's your advice.........how do I handle this


Biko I need my money backkkkkkkkkk

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?

One jab plus a negative test result will grant a waiver for Canadians. However, they are some serious criteria one must meet.

But please try and get both jabs to avoid stories that touch. Our Nigeria platform to confirm vaccinated individuals has been down for some days now.

Yes, IRCC requires you to have a sitting balance that can take care of your 1st year tuition and 1st year living expenses. If 30k can take care of your 1st year expenses, it's fine, just ensure you explain how you wanna pay for the 2nd year. N.B: Having only 1st year fees is usually better if it's not a self sponsored application. Wishing you all the best in your application.
