I think Turkish airlines makes stopover at US airports. Do you have US Transit Visa? Because you can't cross US if you don't have Transit Visa.

Landing Gist

Hello All, It would be a disservice if I did not update the thread on my landing gist so here it is:

Some Background Information
On June 4th, 2021, my original travel date, I was prevented from boarding at the airport due to the Border Official, who the counter officials sent my documents via WhatsApp, declaring that June was too early a date for travel despite my Enrollment Letter showing September 2021 (this was before it being known that the new mandate was for students to arrive within Four (4) weeks of your start date). This was extremely disappointing as I had already made the GAA Hotel Booking along with the Covid Test I had done the previous day.
To circumvent this, I enrolled for my Thesis which I had planned to do when I settle in after arrival in Canada (I had already completed a full year of coursework while in Nigeria). Thesis Registration took about three weeks to process (as most of the professors were in the field for research work) and by the time it was ready, Canada had announced the exemption from Quarantine for those who are fully vaccinated (which I was). I rescheduled my flight and hotel booking for July 7th and 8th and waited till the travel date.

Trip
I arrived at the airport quite early and was asked for my Enrollment Letter (now showing July 5th as the start date), Covid Test Result, ArriveCAN receipt, and my Vaccination Card showing my full vaccination status at the counter. It took an hour for the Border Official to respond to their WhatsApp message and give clearance for me to travel. My flight was an Ethiopian Airlines flight that departed Lagos at 1:40 PM. I was really impressed with the food served on the plane and the access to movies, music and TV shows available on the console in front of me. The book I intended to read was left unread as I switched between watching movies and listening to some newly discovered music.

We landed in Addis Ababa at night (beautiful airport) and I was only asked for my Covid Test Result and hotel booking (if I had). We stayed about two hours or so there before changing aircraft and heading to Dublin for a one-hour refuelling stop. We were given two forms to fill on the plane - a declaration card and one containing contact information to be filled.

We landed in Toronto by 7:30 AM on July 8th and we were separated by vaccination status at immigration (Fully Vaccinated, Half Vaccination and No Vaccination). I was directed to a computer system where I filled another declaration form and was given a printout. The next stop was the border officials who requested for the printout, my Passport, ArriveCAN Receipt and Covid Test results. Upon going through them, he declared me fully exempt from hotel quarantine, the 11 days quarantine and Day 8 testing and placed a green sticker stamp on my passport. The next queue I was directed to was the one for issuing our Study Permits. We stayed on that for over an hour as there were lots of people who had landed that same morning so lots of people to process. Finally, I got to the top of the line and was asked by the Border Official for my Passport, Admission Letter and Tuition Receipt, he asked if I had started classes online which I answered yes to, he asked me to log in to my school account to verify that I had completed classes and to corroborate my answer. When he was satisfied, he issued my study permit and informed me about the 20 hours limit for working and restated my full exemption from any quarantine. I did the arrival covid test and wasn't given the home test kit for Day 8 testing due to my exemption status.

I stayed at the airport for a bit while waiting for my hotel's shuttle bus. On getting to the hotel, I informed them about my exemption status and I filled a form for refund purposes (I had booked the more expensive GAA Rate a month ago when I had originally intended to travel) while they confirm my status with Public Health Canada. I really enjoyed the food at the hotel and the room was really lovely. I had seen some terrible reviews of Crowne Plaza just before my trip but I had no issues while there for 3 days. I am currently at a friend's place while waiting for my flight to Winnipeg in Manitoba on Friday (my school is Brandon University).

Canada so far has been lovely and quite interesting to observe (the sun doesn't set in Toronto until close to 10 PM and by 5 AM it's up again). I wish everyone awaiting their PPR the best of luck and the assurance that God will perfect what He has started. I pray God blesses the Gurus (Frank and Lekibobo just to name a few) and everyone who contributes their quota in providing help and information on this great thread. Have a great day all and may the rain of PPR continue. Amen!

Congratulations, may Canada soil favour you, Amen

I would suggest you go to the hospital

Lianna2020:

yes sir/Ma 410

You people using agents are just putting your application at risk.... This payment is something you can do yourself with the abundance of information on this thread... I don't think your agent will wanna allow you do it since he/she started the application in the first place, try and convince your agent that the payment is something you can do yourself... Do not jeopardise your application all in the name of agents.. Peace

jfrazzy:
Good morning my people
I have serious issues, I was just informed this morning that I have an outstanding balance of 340 . How do I tackle this, my agent I don't understand how she did this but she is about making the payment, how do I explain to them

Esmer:
I would suggest you go to the hospital

Okay thank you!, do you think they will give me an earlier date and do you know anyone thats done this?

Even if he is not trusted, he wont disclose that to you though.. I will advise you do your research on the moniker before transacting with him... Peace

Someone had a similar case when I went for my medicals and they refused to let her in.

They advised her call the number on their website and explain your situation to Customer Care to see if you can get an earlier booking.

Go to the clinic and explain to them with proof, They should get a favorable date for you because most of the peeps that have already gotten appointment with them are peeps that wanna do "Upfront Medicals". So I believe they will take you as priority since IRCC sent you a medical request and not upfront... So go to the clinic explain to them politely, I believe they will give you a closer date.. Peace
