Sent you a mail

pls i also want to apply to Georgian College. I need more info pls

Pls help respond to question below

mokikeoj:
Please where around Ikeja can one get the PCR molecular Covid 19 test done?

I'm seeing some people talking about renewing their passports that do not have long validly. I think renewing before leaving will be better. If you are in Abuja, you can go to maitama passport express centre. You get your passport renewed within 24 - 48 hours. That immigration centre is mainly for people who needs to get a new passport or renew urgently. You just get to pay more. That was where I did mine when I had a visa interview and needed to renew mine cos the expiring date was near.

Peace..

Immediately I got my PPR, I went to renew my passport at cotonou.

atiteb4:
who gave you the advise? Some people do renew their passport before travelling though. Let's make more findings

Congratulation.

Was Toronto your final destination, or did you have another connecting flight?

EvE11:
Landing gist:
Hi guys. I finally landed in Canada. I’m sharing this because reading other people’s landing gist made mine a lot easier.

So my flight was Air France from Lagos to Paris to Toronto.
Lagos:
Got to the airport quite early past 2pm, didn’t want any stories, my flight was for 11:30pm but the check-in began at 5. Already weight by bags at home, but upon getting to the airport, one guy directed me to a faulty scale, of which I may have paid extra luggage if I didn’t know the weights of my bags . I cleared the bag with the Agricultural section. Paid N2k cos I only had one bag with food items, and received a certificate from them. This cert. didn’t turn out useful in any way.
When boarding I showed my Covid text, ArriveCAN receipt, visa, and admission letter.

Paris.
Flight was delayed till past 12 midnight. In flight meal wasn’t so great. Landed in Paris at 6:30 Nigerian time. Just presented my Covid test, passport and admission letter to the immigration officer in Paris. Had an 8 hours layover and began my next trip at 2:30 pm Nigerian time.

Toronto:
Again, Inflight meal wasn’t so great, plus it seemed like they were hoarding the drinks. So I just had the few snacks I bought earlier. Flight was 8 hours long and tiring. Watched a few movies though.

Upon getting to Canada. You are directed to go to a self-help machine where you scan your passport, give sum info about your stay and duration. And take a photo image of yourself
Then you proceed to the immigration officer who asks for your Covid test and admission letter, this will determine if you will be quarantined or not. I already got double vaccinated, I filled out this info on the arrive-can app, hence I didn’t have to quarantine.
I proceeded next to the next officer where I’m supposed to get my work permit. This is where I spent a bit of time. Obviously, the guy may have had a beef for Nigerians before now, cos immediately I got there I had my passport and the slip generated from the self service machine on his counter, he then requested I gave him my passport and a white paper. Because I wasn’t clear on what paper he wanted exactly, I asked again and he got irritated. He sha went ahead to ask for my acceptance letter, my enrolment letter, evidence of payment, and proof of fund(living expense)
I gave every other thing, but didn’t have my bank statement printed out. I offered to show him my bank balance on my phone, and next thing the guy flared up. He said if I were in Lagos or Abuja, will I show the officials document on my phone, why would I then do it here.... He went on and on about a lot of things, about me giving him attitude and all that. Me that was exhausted from the whole trip.

I apologise and said I was a bit anxious, which he might perceive as me giving him attitude. He eventually saw my bank balance on the phone, converted to CAD, had no other excuse and reluctantly went to print the work permit.

But again before that, he was emphasising how I should not work more than 20 hours and even had to call a colleague to ask why this was not indicated on the letter he was to give me. The college said it didn’t matter. The guy has no choice than to print my letter and stamp my passport.

When he finished I asked where he came from, apparently, the guy is from Benin Republic. He definitely has some beef for nigeria. He mentioned he had been to Lagos and Abuja a couple of times.

To tell you how beefed he was, he had to run after me to give back the slip from the self-service machine, which I needed to hand over upon exit from the airport.

Meanwhile my seat mate on the flight who is also a student had finished and kept calling, but I could not even return his call nor text him, hence he had to leave almost 30 minutes before me.

Hope you find this piece useful.
Thanks guys.

Hello efizy

Very recently GTB has increased its limit, so I wanna assume a GTB Master card can make the payment for the Visa application.. Dunno of any other bank though.

Applicants that have applied very recently, please confirm this....

Hello Freeband

He should go for a Post graduate Degree(PGD) program..

And for the course, he should go for a course very related to Quantity survey or a course very related to his Job or business, which ever one applies to him...

Please when is the best time to start applying for September Fall 2022 intake Visa?
And about this lump sum deposit ,i don’t really understand it, is it for only account that doesn’t take doesn’t regularly take as much as the last deposit that happened in the account?
My sponsor My dad is account is very familiar with lump sum deposit like today now he can get 17 million 25m….. huge transactions he’s into steel iron rods.My problem is that sometimes he can have just 4,000 naira 50,000 naira left in his account after making some purchases.And his inflow and outflow is very fast.
Now i’m about to apply for a visa and he doesn’t have the amount i want to show now 18million but he got a job of 18m+ which i’m going to apply when he gets the money, my concern is that will the vo also think the money will leave like how the others leave?

just some of you won’t understand what i’m saying

Thank you

Thank you everyone for the good wishes and prayers. I am very grateful.

This is the full detail of my application. It may be useful for someone here...

FAMILY APPLICATION- Study permit for myself and two children and Visit visa for Spouse

Timeline:
Application Submitted: 22nd July, 2021
Biometrics: 27th July, 2021
Upfront medical (family): 30th July, 2021
Medicals updated to passed: 5th August, 2021
Eligibility started almost immediately for me.
Eligibility for spouse and children: 19th October, 2021 (that was when I saw the ghost update)
Saw two other ghost updates on the 12th and 23rd of November
BVL & PPR: 25th November, 2021

What I did:
I prayed, I fasted and I trusted God to come through for us ….. and He did. When God says ‘Yes’, nobody can say ‘No’. I believe that very strongly.

Following @Makano’s advice read here, I started sending emails and webforms on the 21st of October (to all the IRCC offices I could lay my hands on their emails but later limited it to Nairobi, London and Lagos offices). I sent mails and webforms weekly oh…..there was a time I was sending daily. I’m sure they were tired of me but I didn’t care. I still sent the day before PPR came!

Finally, I read and read through this thread. My people, I got almost all the information I needed here. That is why I’m saying a big THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU to everyone that contributes on this platform.

I tailored my application after @goingforward’s testimony (Available on page 1) and replicated all the documents she used for her family application (as many as were applicable to my profile). Thank you oh @goingforward.

Good morning house,
I’m new here and please I have some questions.
I’m a 27 years old male who has never been to a higher institution. I have my interest in any degree relating to computer or IT. I have searched for schools that are affordable and it’s not been really easy. I have decided to apply for College of the North Atlantic, 2 years diploma in computer systems & networking. My question are
Please how good is the school?
What’s their admission rate like?
Can I obtain a study permit with ease using their offer letter??
Lastly can anyone recommend affordable computer degree programs ?

The benefit of a positive response towards this cannot be overemphasized. Please please please.

Thanks so much.
