Julify01:
Hi everyone, I submitted my application since May and currently waiting for approval. How will I know if I’m using the Nigerian Student Express - NSE platform or the regular GC key login (that’s what I’m using so far. I am a first timer and applying for my self, no third party). I’m kinda confused, don’t seem to know the difference between the two.

Also, any news/update on applications submitted on May ahead of Sept start term? My school is in NS. I’ll like to meet up with people of same interest please.

Hi Julify01, you do not get to choose if your application will be treated via NSE route, on applying, should you have got the NSE request for Ielts and MBS, your application would have been treated via that route, however, if when you submitted, you provided the necessary documents, it can be treated still, perhaps via the normal route.

There is no platform for NSE, you get to use you GCKey for both normal and NSE application checks. For any updates check your application online and your emails. Additionally, you can use you IRCC site for information updates.

LANDING GIST!!!

Sweet Landing GIST!!

Welcome to ORILE EDE CANADA

Stay blessed ma'am

Lekiboboe:
MY LANDING GIST!!!!

KLM Flight at MMIA, Ikeja. Lagos to Amsterdam (almost 6hrs layover at Amsterdam Airport), Amsterdam to Toronto.

Got to the Airport 4pm, August 11th

Brought three bags (22kg Clothes, 20kg Food), Laptop bag with my laptop, clear bag having my docs. & some other Contents (chips) inside of it.

Interestingly, the first search port , they checked my first bag which was having my clothes in it, as I was trying to bring my second bag (which contained Food stuffs) , they said I shouldn't bother, was quite surprised. Because i know i might not be able to go out during quarantine, I packed a substantial amount of food stuffs and ready to eat foods such as Peanuts, Chips etc. The second bag i used to pack my foodstuffs was a Traveling bag, am assuming they thought it was Clothes that was also inside that bag. In a nutshell I wasn't directed to Nigerian Quarantine Agriculture service, I went straight to KLM post to check-in.


Documents Asked;
- International Passport
- LOA
- Tuition Payment. Receipt from the School
- Negative COVID-19 Test
- Enrollment Letter was asked but i had only "Travel Authorization Letter (Travel Support Letter)", Enrolment letter wasn't available, my DLI would not give me cos my Program is in-person (can't be done online) and they told me i need to be in Canada in physical, get the STUDY PERMIT before I can be allowed to register. The KLM staff was a bit skeptical about me not having ENROLLMENT LETTER, but only TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER, I had to show her the e-mail from the school to prove that what I was saying was legit, she called her OGA, the oga sha scanned thru the TRAVEL SUPPORT LETTER and the mail, he was pointing out a portion of that letter to her & told her "I was good to go".

She directed me to another port to check in my luggage, and i met another lady, she asked for my passport, gave me YELLOW card that I should fill it and also write the name of my destination, DLI, Naija Phone number on it, then she gave me my boarding pass (Lagos to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Toronto)

From there, I sat down somewhere near one Foreign Affairs mini office. I was jejely waiting there, Mumsy, Dad & my Aburo (sisto) were with me. Naxo one man with I.D card just come meet my mumsy say, is he your son, mumsy answer " yes". He come talk say make me i follow am (he looks like a Custom/immigration/foreign affairs staff, wasn't able to see details about his ID, but he be like say he get mouth for that airport, he was on a casual outfit, not in Uniform). He was with some travellers going to Canada as well. Naxo me just follow am, he told mumsy, say make dem give him her fone make he snap us Sharp sharp, telling her that " after this place they are not allowed to follow me to the Immigration section".

Mumsy come dey kinda cry, hug me, me come dey feel emotional but smiling, Daddy and my Aburo (sisto) no cry but we hugged, snapped pictures and said their BYES to me.

So i went through the Naija Immigration section, and it was seamless. This man was in our front all through, I no know wetin him dey follow those Customs guys, immigration guys talk. I guess that man na one ANGEL. I was with my one year Living Expenses in Cash $8K USD (equivalent to $10K CAD), I wasn't able to get PTA for naija bank cos my ticket na ONE WAY.

Naija Immigration guys only asked of my:
- International Passport
- Boarding Pass
- Yellow Card.

He made a stamp on my PASSPORT, collected my YELLOW CARD, gave me back my boarding pass and said I can go.

We went to another port of immigration, commot belt, remove shoes, remove phone, remove laptop put on big tray like that,entered the other side and left.

In a nutshell, I didn't grease anybody hands, nobody asked me for money (anything for the boys), nobody asked "how much is with you" customs seff no ask me any question, i just walk pass them as that man dey go for our front . I was just being attended to like a DIPLOMAT and all was a cruise.

Along the line I saw one cute yarinya (kai walahi odo wun yefe ), his Dad/guardian (an Airport/Aviation staff I guess) was with her putting her thru, na so we gather dey together dey gist till our Amsterdam Flight was called for boarding, but our seat come far, nobody to gist with again

FLIGHT FROM LAGOS TO AMSTERDAM (SCHIPOL AIRPORT)
Flight departed Naija : 11pm , August 11th

Food Was quite OK, Oyinbo Food, chai.... We were served twice. Me just zip my Orange Juice after eating.

Movies Yapa ,
I watched GOLD STATUE (Gabriel Afolayan, Sola Sobowale, RMD, Kalu Ikeagu) but didn't complete the movie, BOB Abishola TV series and WonderWoman 1984

Got to Amsterdam 5am the next day " August 12, we waited till 10.45am (5-6hrs stop over) before announcement was made about boarding the Flight going to Toronto from Amsterdam, we were on queue, the KLM staff there asked for my Docs., told him I was a student.

Showed him my
- COVID-19 Negative PCR test
- Boarding Pass
- Passport
- Travel Authorization Letter

He said I should make sure I show all documents to the CBSA guys at Toronto P.O.E. & he wished me a safe trip

I can count the number of Dark skin passengers on that aircraft, 80% of them were Whites, Middle East & Asians.

FLIGHT FROM AMSTERDAM TO TORONTO

On the KLM flight from Amsterdam to Toronto, we were served oyinbo food, me i just jejely asked for Natural Orange Fruit juice all through to press the food, the food was delicious, and was jejely sipping it (to keep boosting my immune system). I was able to complete the MOVIE (GOLD STATUE) on this flight, also saw the movie "Godzilla vs KingKong".

We arrived Toronto Pearson Airport 12.45pm (journey was 6-hours). We Trekked wella before getting to the CBSA officers check point. There was a machine i visited first with my international Passport (for Scanning) & also answered some questions, and also the machine snapped my picture, when i was through, a white slip was printed out automatically with my picture on it and some other info.

So I was on the queue, met an immigration officer (a Cute woman with a latina-like face attended to me);
she asked me
- why are you in Canada, told her to "TO STUDY"
- International Passport
- Negative COVID-19 Test result
- ArriveCAN receipt.

So on that slip that had my picture in it, she made a remark with a Marker on it, gave me back, and also gave me a Paper having some information about COVID-19.

So I proceeded to the next immigration officer.

He asked for my
- Passport (Gave to him)
- Why I was in Canada?
- Is this my first time in Canny?
- What DLI (School) are you attending?
- ArriveCAN receipt

Within 5-minutes, he printed my STUDY PERMIT, on that letter there was an information which shows I can work as a student & he also gave me a Work permit (Co-op Work permit). In a nutshell i got two WORK PERMITS.

I was directed to an exit, met another immigration officer, he asked how much was with me, I told him $8K USD ($10K CAD equivalent), was trying to bring it out, he just said "you can go"

Went to claim my LUGGAGE, saw my first bag, was intact, saw my second bag containing the food stuffs, the Bag has been opened, zip messed up, the KLM staff come dey apologize say na the people wey arrange my load no do am well, and talk say the few turbulence that happened in the air affected some luggage including mine. i checked if all was intact and discovered nothing was taking cos i get list of everything in a paper.

I am not vaccinated, so i went for my rapid on arrival PCR TEST, they asked if I have reg. on the switch health website, I said YES. So I went to switch health (representing TORONTO) to do the COVID-19 TEST. Afterwards, I.was directed to go get my COVID-19 TEST KIT

Note:
If you are landing at TORONTO PEARSON AIRPORT (YYZ) make sure you reg. at the switch health website so you won't waste your time at the airport.

I connected to their Wifi and got across to my Airbnb host, cos she say make I call her if I don finish with Border officials.

My Airbnb host (a Philippine Woman) come use her OCHARA TEAR RUBBER TOYOTA JEEP come pick me for Airport go the Airbnb Location. She was very nice and welcoming, we gist small sha, and i related to her wella as if we don know each other before, she was enjoying our convo all through, me jz dey use some Geography totori her. We got to the Airbnb Location & she showed me around, her place make sense, bed dey bounce wella, WiFi dey (the speed no be here at all, I come use style remember my GLO network for Naija, wey I go Switch-On the WiFi, climb tree up go out am to receive fast network reception).

So far so good, Quarantine as being dope, na one Israeli guy dey the other apartment , he is fully vaccinated but was staying in a room in that same Airbnb. The guy sha help me change small money, rate was dope sha, come help me buy Groceries. He talk say if I need anything make I holla at him.

All I can say is, GOD TOOK PERFECT CONTROL, journey was long but amazing

I MUST say ORILE EDE CANADA is damn amazing" no fire brigade approach from anyone, no body blood dey hot for here. Everyone looks cool , respectful and ready to help, everything na SEMPE SEMPE for here.

I pray for everyone awaiting a decision from IRCC, your Canadian Dreams would come to reality soon & very soon!!!

Peace!!!

Congratulations bro, I pray the land favours you. Amen.

Please I would like to find out how you went about the Canadian cell phone number requirement when registering on the switch health website.

It seems it’s a compulsory information and can’t go further till it’s filled

Oreoluwamipo:
Infact I have started thinking of the food I'll order on flight .. May Canada favour you.

Funny! That was exactly my thought when I saw that picture o

God please make this a reality for us soonest.

Thanks Honorable.

Amen...appreciate

This is my own scenerio

While registering on the Switch Heath portal in Nigeria, I just input a random Canadian Number (read that on a Travel to Canada Facebook page) and my E-mail to register, so anytime I logged in, they would always ask for OTP, and it would say "SEND TO PHONE NUMBER, unfortunately I don't have a a Canadian Number that I can be reached on, so I select SENT to E-MAIL ADDRESS INSTEAD which is another option, so OTP is always sent to my E-MAIL ADDRESS any time I logged in to Switch Heath and select SEND TO E-MAIL ADDRESS INSTEAD

But something happened at TORONTO Pearson Airport. While they were taking my information for the Post Arrival Covid-19 test, the health specialist asked that " is this number with you presently and is it valid"? I said NO, that only my E-mail is correct, so she said a Valid Canadian Number is needed and and said I can contact someone I know in Canada who has a Canadian Number, so I just told her I would be right back, so I WhatsApp-called a Bros at Ontario and ask if can I use his number for the Switch Health thing, he agreed. That was all.

What I noticed is that , it seems you can edit the phone number on your switch health page when you get your own official Canadian number.

GodsGabby:
Here we are
This is you doing your advert.
That is what you use this moniker for ever since you used it to claim u got PPR.
Atleast, you should know we aint kids here.

People here need to be carefull.
Right from the US thread, i saw how people fake visa transcript and then use it as a means to advertise, it's rampart in their groups. To get unsuspecting customers.
And that is what you did here with cole moniker of yours.


Take it easy, let people reach out to you themselves.

Guys you all should be careful, every information you need for free will be given to you as long as you take your time to read previous pages and then ask questions.
Don't be so eager or in a hurry or even show your frustration so people or agents don't prey on it.

Omo!!!…Thanks a million for this information bro…seems I would contact a friend there to use his phone no. for it, thereafter I will edit it later.

Did they send any info to your friends number immediately for confirmation when you gave it to them ?

Hello Mr bollybeejay,
Yes I called you that
Please i want you to stop disguising using this second account of yours.
You have been looking for means to penetrate here to get clients and the best option was for you to create this acct claiming you got ppr then you used that to advertise yourself.

Ever since then , i noticed you would use this moniker of yours to advertise your real self which is the agent that you are, while inserting yourself alongside frankrobbn and justmellow in order to take people unaware.
Please stop this dubious act of yours.
Let people decide to use you themselves and not you forcing yourself down their throats via this moniker.
Your pattern of reply on this moniker is same with bollybeejay.
You run both moniker and you this mainly to advertise yourself.

Why the deceits? ??
If you need clients let them choose.
Not by cutting through corners and then inserting yourself always using this moniker.

What of people referring clients to Anon123 for Notes Maybe it’s same guy too trying to prey on clients

Hello Esosa4real,

Eseosa is a lovely name. Your Bini name caught my attention. Know that I am not bound to one particular tribe by association. I believe you may have gotten your answers, but here is my contribution.

If he intends to use the NSE stream since the consideration to sit for the IELTS test has been harbored, he can go for the "academic." This will help him include it to support his school admission application and then the visa application. Note that the test is not necessarily mandatory for English-speaking countries or persons whose prior formal learning was conducted in the English Language medium, and evidence can be provided. A letter of English proficiency and transcript from his graduate school will suffice to be granted a waiver.

The offered programs are his to research. Find some schools that are funding flexible:

• University of New Brunswick
• University of Windsor
• University of British Columbia
• McGill
• University of Victoria (recommended)

He can as well check for some related engineering programs in colleges. A pure engineering program in colleges at Graduate Diploma or Certificate study level could be painstaking to secure. Almost all are Diploma, Advanced Diploma, and/or UG programs.

So he can check related programs to his engineering study focus. The easiest way to know a (closely) related study is using the transcript to view some major courses taking from the second year during UG study. See some college names below.

• Humber College
• Lambton College
• Conestoga College
• Fanshawe College
• George Brown College

The program to go depends on what his prospect plans are for the study and how its importance can be demonstrated. For a fresh out graduate or young graduate, a Master will be wise whilst for a mature applicant with experience, a Graduate Diploma or Certificate is ideal. Also, either a Master or GD/GC suits will also suit the professional profiles of industry experts who are mature applicants, but a GD/GC will not academics.

Best of Luck

You need to be very careful with this selection. I see people saying it is college certificate and I do not think so. Other studies may be the right option since there is no option for post graduate certificate. However ask a guru you know directly to advice you. All the best.

I have an admission for Graduate Certificate program at Conestoga College. Please, what I am expected to select in the option below on the imm1294e for my level of study
