LANDING GISTT

Omo, I’ve been inactive here for like a week and I just want to say congratulations to everyone that has gotten PPR and also to those that got delyed, please keep pushing, IT WILL DEFINITELY END IN PRAISE.

Traveled on the 23rd of August with Lufthansa (booked on AirCanada website). Let me just say that I’ll advise those that plan to use AirCanada to use someone already in Canada to help them to book because I made the mistake of booking from Nigeria only for me to receive a mail like a week to my flight that “my payment was not confirmed “ and I should come and make payment in person at any of their service centers (NOTE: AirCanada does not have any service Centre in Nigeria). My aunt was able to help me go to the Toronto Pearson Airport and make payment again and they later refunded my money.

So back to the D-day, i had a connecting flight with Lufthansa to Frankfurt and then from Frankfurt to Toronto which was set for 10:55pm. People are leaving this country ooo, the queue to enter Murtala Mohammed airport was so long and I heard people had even been on the queue for up to 2 hours. Mine didn’t take that long as I got to the airport around 6:30pm and the line had started moving.

Finally entered and had to go and weigh my bag because I knew it was more than the accepted kg (I had 32kg and 17kg). I balanced it sha because I don’t have money for extra luggage and my folks had to take some stuff back home.
When it was time to get boarding pass, they asked for passport, flight ticket and scanned my Covid test. They also gave me that yellow card to fill in my details. It’s advisable to wrap your foodstuff (it’s 1k) for protection.

My family couldn’t follow me past this point and this was when the floodgates opened ooo, me that was forming hard girl hard girl (Thank God for face mask lol)

At Customs, they asked for my boarding pass, passport (which they stamped) and then you’ll have to remove your shoes and any gadgets you have in your hand luggage.

My flight to Frankfurt was short sha because I slept most of it. The food was cold so I just had tea.

When I got to Frankfurt, it got interesting. Their method of searching, check-in and boarding was very organized. There was a woman there that her Covid test had expired and they told her she would have to redo it (very expensive at that airport).

The flight to Toronto was much longer and AirCanada’s movie selection is top notch. I didn’t even know when I had watched 3 full movies but then no WiFi (you have to pay for it)

Once we landed ehn, first thing I did was Thank God because no be me do am, I’m still shocked sef. Canada Border services asked for Enrollment letter, Admission letter, proof of funds (gave them my funding letter) and then Covid test and I was given my study permit. I also registered on Switch health for arrival Covid test so I ddnt have to stay on the long queue and was out of there within minutes, they also gave me hometest kit for Day 8 (I’m not fully vaccinated)

Right now, I’m on Day 9 of my quarantine (Hotel accommodation provided by my school for 14 days) and I’ve been trying to eat their food o but sometimes it’s difficult. My aunt brought food for me so I’m still on Naija diet .

Anyone that arrives Toronto and wants to connect, I’m always happy to.

Thanks for this platform, I really gained a lot from here, we will all rejoice!

I want to connect oo.

We arrived the same day, same province, my fellow quarantine mate.

Which school?

Don't be offended. Pls why use hotel accommodation for quarantine, when you have family here?

Why not? You can always re-apply after a refusal. I would recommend you use both your mum and dad as sponsors.

There is nothing wrong if you intend to use your mum as the main sponsor. I suppose she has the bulk of the funds. Then your dad can be the co-sponsor. Both of them should jointly sign the sponsorship letter. She can also pay for your first-year tuition, and you attach the payment receipt to your next application. Having both parents as sponsors would put lots of weight on your application.

But better to first apply for your GCMS notes so you know the specific concerns of the VO and you can tackle this in your next application

All the best

Once we landed ehn, first thing I did was Thank God because no be me do am, I’m still shocked sef. Canada Border services asked for Enrollment letter, Admission letter, proof of funds (gave them my funding letter) and then Covid test and I was given my study permit. I also registered on Switch health for arrival Covid test so I ddnt have to stay on the long queue and was out of there within minutes, they also gave me hometest kit for Day 8 (I’m not fully vaccinated)

Right now, I’m on Day 9 of my quarantine (Hotel accommodation provided by my school for 14 days) and I’ve been trying to eat their food o but sometimes it’s difficult. My aunt brought food for me so I’m still on Naija diet .

Anyone that arrives Toronto and wants to connect, I’m always happy to.

Thanks for this platform, I really gained a lot from here, we will all rejoice!
