Landing gist

Day of Travel - 30th Sept
Arrival Day - 1st Sept
Flight name - Royal Dutch Airlines (Lufthanza)
Stops - Lagos -> Amsterdam -> Ontario

I arrived at the Lagos airport at 5pm against my flight of 10:45pm, none of my bags were checked because my cousin knew some of the airport officials (note that i was carrying a lot of food stuffs), i weighed my 2 luggages which were approved. I was asked for all my travel Documents, School Documents, ArriveCAN receipt and COVID19 test result. I also had to fill one yellow card stuff with my details and submit to them. After all this brouhaha, I proceeded to my Flight gate, where i waited till my flight time.

The flight from Lagos to Amsterdam was approximately 12hrs or so (can't remember), we landed in Amsterdam where i proceeded to my next gate after series of checks from airport officials. Omoh, the Wi-Fi at this airport fast die, its free and you have Unlimited usuage.

We left for Canada after 3 hrs, omoh all their food tire me. I arrived at Canada around 12pm Canadian Time (5 hour behind Nigeria), did some checks after which we proceeded to immigration officers for our official study permits. After which we went to get our luggages (these guys manhandled alot of luggages, i could not even recognize one of my luggages after passing by it 15 times).
(This part is for unvaccinated travelers)
We proceeded for the Covid19 tests (register at Switchhealth.ca to avoid the long queue). After this, you would be handed the Day 8 home test kit. Then you're free to go to your choice of quarantine.

You can change dollars to CAD at the airport when you land, just don't change everything on you cos their rates are high compared to banks.

Note;
1) Please if you can get your Covid19 shots in Nigeria before coming over, DO IT! To avoid stress.
2) Register for your SIN immediately you get your study Permit, because you will need this number if you want to work.

Throw me with your Questions, if it's something i can handle, I'd let you know. Good luck on your PPR journey!

Wow nice
Sweet landing gist
We'll join u soon

Kemisolarachy:
Will share my timeline soon

we are still waiting for your timeline and documents submitted. Thanks.

You can see where a part of the issue may be arising in 1st application you are self sponsored, second cousin, what happened to all the money he said he had before? That would be the question. Now as you stated you put pictures of your cousin but did you put his valid ID and also explain how you two are cousins. As far as the VO is concerned anybody can call someone their cousin. These are issues to be addresed. You and your cousin can be co sponsors. And if possible show statement for a year.

HakHim:
I used a sponsor in my second application.... My cousin.... He sent me money into my account for my tuition fees... The first application I used self sponsored

Kenthro:

Finally!!! PPR after 5pm the and two weeks, Lord I’m grateful, thank you so much guys for keeping my hope alive���

your timeline and documents submitted please. Thanks

HakHim:
Thank you for your response.... Let me explain to you... I did engineering, I am working in my field I applied for a course in engineering. Reasonable expense might be that considering all the money I have will be spent on the education I am planning to do in Canada...remember this was said from my first application.... As I feel they judged me based in only my salary .... So I had to break it down on how the money rolls in.... Now I have a business already established... I even have a company CAC... Then I had to get a new equipment to add to the existing one to show that I still plan to continue my business which I feel was a good home tie (my own thinking).... I told them about my parents as well but I did not put the pictures of parents or siblings.... But I used a sponsor that's my cousin different surname.... But I added his picture of me and him together.......I then added my finance also... Also landed properties ... Then I explained how the course I am going for will be beneficial to my current job and Nigeria at large.... And about the lump sum ... This was from the first application in my second application I stated that I have transferred all the cash to my other account so there was no any lump sum in the second application....

Sorry about the delay. I think you should include pictures with your parents and siblings,include any form of ID they have too(passport,national ID or even NIN) anyone you can get.This Visa thing some people breeze through while others have to go the extra mile,it’s just a reminder of how life is structured….Best wishes.

Ahhh go cafe I sent mail to Nairobi this morning and it went through

Cloudweb:
Am not using any VPN in my phone...I tried same with my laptop still same result.

I don't know if is a general problem or from my side.

I send a mail now to the MP it went but to Nairobi it keep bouncing back.

Send mails 50 times every day including weekends. Request a finalization on your webform every single day. Send mails to all the MPs designated to your province....BVL signifies a decision has been made. Why the delay?

Landing Gist!!!
Lagos to Calgary.

It was a long but smooth flight for me. I left Lagos on Sunday 23rd by 10pm, got to the airport around 7, checked my bags in; I had to adjust my things to be 23kg both, I removed some things from my box and put them in the bag containing my food items.
My bags weren't checked, the officer just asked why I was travelling and if it was my first time then she let me go)
At the Lagos airport, I was asked to show my LOA, enrolment letter (since classes have started), Covid result, passport and ArriveCAN receipt. I was given a yellow form which I filled and submitted at the Immigration stand. Before boarding the flight, my hand luggage was checked but nothing was removed, it was just my laptop, snacks and some clothes that filled my 2 hand luggage. No stress at the Lagos airport actually.

I used KLM so we first went to Amsterdam, it was a 7hours flight; food was served but I only ate the chicken - I had snacks with me and I slept most of the time. When we got to Amsterdam, I missed my way and went to the place for exit rather than going to wait for my connecting flight but an officer redirected me (we were about 4 that made this mistake). It was a long wait here (close to 7 hours again) but I spent most of it communicating with my family via the free wifi at the airport. I had 2 devices so when the 1 hour free internet expired on my phone, I switched to my Ipad and started watching a movie (Squid Game) and I switched back to my phone again when that also expired (I didn't sleep at the stopover and I wasn't so bored too, thanks to the free wifi).

Time came for us to continue our journey to Calgary and it was a 9 hours journey but smooth as well. I had pasta this time and it wasn't so bad then I continued my sleep. Got to Calgary, had my documents checked, same docs that were checked at the Lagos airport. Was asked to declare my food items (I didn't go with any poultry product, just fish, stockfish, some leaves, egusi, ogbonno, spices, crayfish) then the officer wrote it down on a yellow form and selected me for a random sample(covid test) then I went into another room where I was given my study permit and was told that I could work for up to 20hours per week. From there, I went for the Covid test since I was selected and when I was done there, I was free to go. I wasn't asked to be quarantined since I was fully vaccinated and presented no Covid symptoms. When I got out of the airport, the cold breeze welcomed me so I rushed back into the airport and waited patiently for my host to come pick me up.

It's been good so far and my classes are still online so I am still enjoying staying at home.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed on this platform, I learnt a lot from here.
Congrats to those who have received their PPR and to those still expecting, may it end in praise for you. Amen!!!

Another sweet landing gist
We'll definitely join u soon
Congratulations once more

My brother applied over there for me.
Things i did differently SPIRITUALLY. I used his words. His word is yes and amen. I am a Christian and I declared it that i will get it

I am a believer and i used his words. I still remember this morning by 5 am i had a dream that I wasn’t approved . I quoted scriptures and countered it.

Congratulations. Your application was well packaged! Well deserved approval

Teeprecious:
Hello guys, thank God for me. I got my PPR this afternoon,apparently it's been sitting in my mail since 3.30pm but I had a busy day at work. After work,I went for a program in my church. It was when we closed I checked my phone and realised I had a message in my Gmail.
Lo and behold...there sat my approval since 3.30pm this afternoon.
This was a reapplication and in my previous application, the VO showed concerns about my funds stating he perceived it was for demonstration purpose only(I saw this in my GCMS notes.
Timeline below:
Application submission: 14th sept
BVL and PPR: 27th Oct.
I saw only one ghost update and eligibility never started till after PPR sef.

Since the concern was mainly on finance,all I did was pay a year tuition as against the initial tuition deposit I paid. I perceived that if I claimed I was self sponsored and the money accessible to me,why pay the minimum which was the tuition deposit?
I only submitted MBS for my pof,snip shot of my student account showing one year tuition,upfront medical,IELTS,LOE and new LOA.

Special thanks to all the gurus and everyone taking their time to answer the numerous questions here. For everyone expecting,God will make it speedy and easy for you.

Amen to that last prayer
And congratulations... Favour ahead for u
