Congratulations

So I booked British Airways flight for 30th of November. I had booked it since September, do the booking at MMIA so I paid in Naira at official rate.

Flight was for 11:45pm but I got to the airport around 4pm keeping with the advice given here to always arrive early.

First wahala was at the scanning machine at the entrance, they found my palm oil and said to take it out, that it won’t fly on BA, I didn’t argue I dropped it because I still had two more, which unfortunately ended up being trashed by BA just before departure (BA doesn’t allow frozen palm oil).

Agric people caught me this point and I had to dash them 2k, was hoping to escape it. After then I went weighed my luggage, had to shuffle some items between my carry-on and my checked in luggage before I was able to move ahead.

Showed the airline rep my passport, enrollment letter ArriveCAN, passenger locator form (mandatory for UK passage), vaccination card and COVID test. He confirmed the documents and gave me my boarding pass and yellow card to fill.

From there I moved to immigration, they collected my yellow card here, I was instructed to write my final destination address at the back of the card, Baba asked for tip I told him “nothing Dey” and they let me go.

Boarded the plane to London, the food was alright and we landed heathrow around 4am and that’s when I came online and saw the ban update sad

At 11:45 am we boarded the connecting flight, food was also good. After about 8hrs we were in Toronto. Used the machine to scan my passport and filled some information and a slip was printed out. Walked over to fort immigration check, the asked what food items I brought and I listed them asked if Toronto was my final stop, told him will be going to Saskatoon in January for school proper and I was directed to the place where I’d get my study permit.

Study permit didn’t take long, was only asked for the school I was attending and letter of admission which I submitted, it was checked and I was issued a study permit after which I was directed to public health for quarantine matters based on the new COVID update.

Anyways, I’m isolating now can’t wait for the result to be out so I can carry on with my life.

Sleep don full my eyes

Thanks for your response Pinkkiss. I have booked a date in Janary next year for upfront medicals. Should i attach the document sent to me by Qlife on that space. If not whatelse am i expected to attach to that space pls

Dear Chiziteremary, sori Im just reading all ur questions and have seen you got some good responses to your previous questions.

Nevertheless, let me chip in,
About your filling of the study permit form, why not spend time, to watch abt 3 different YouTube videos, on how to fill your study permit application form, to give you the needed basics, after which you can then decide to either connect personally here with someone who has gotten PPR or better still ask the questions on here, for only the few areas of doubt that may be left. Am worried your pattern of inquiry can make you make mistakes as opinions on here, can become confusing later.

In my opinion, it is better to take time to be sure you are about filling it rightly, than to be hasty and make avoidable mistakes. May it will end in praise.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 20 by Innunique: 4:09am On Dec 02, 2021
Justmellow you are really doing a great job, I can personally testify to that. Keep it up.
It's refreshing seeing a referral getting PPR. Affordable too in his services also.

You booked upfront medicals for January and you’ve gone ahead to submit your application?

If you want to do upfront, your medicals should be done before submitting your application. IMO, you should have just waited for medical request.

I went to KLM/Air France office in Abuja and i was told whatever update is on IRCC website is what they are following meaning they cant airlift students. I couldnt go to Lufhtansa again but i want to believe the information would most likely be the same, i'll try to go tomorrow though.

I have also been able to make findings from Lufthansa. They are only airlifting Canadian citizens and pr holders. They'll stop at Frankfurt for a rapid pcr test (to meet up with the 3rd party covid test) prior to continuing their journey to Canada.

Sudents that wish to re route should bare in mind that, Lufthansa does not have flights flying from Ghana/Benin.

Until Feb 1 2022, Lufthansa will not be airlifting passengers that are not Canadian citizens or PR holders,

Dear Semtu,
It's not exactly a standard to do upfront only before submitting your application or to wait for medical request. Majority prefer to wait for medical request because it helps to inform you to some degree of certainty, an approval as the final decision of your application. But we have seen people with medical request who still get refusal.

Whether upfront or by getting medical requests, I know it doesn’t affect VO’s decision. I’m only saying that if he wants to do upfront medicals, he should have done it before submitting the online application. Because uploading his e-medical sheet after submitting his application would be a problem.
So he should either do it before application submission or wait till he gets a request for medicals to avoid complications.

I think the section where she was supposed to put No
she put yes..that's the part they asked if you have visited one of those countries. If she put yes, you have to compulsory do medicals.

He didn't upload. The section for medicals appeared as a compulsory section before you will be able to submit. I think the mistake was where he answered yes to that question of if he had visited one of those countries. That question could be confusing.

The answer to that question is rightly “Yes” since medicals is compulsory for Nigerians , but that’s not the issue in this case.

Thank you so much @makano.
I am really working on my SOP to give the best impression it possibly can.
However, I like being clear of safety margins. My SOP is one weapon as you rightly mentioned. But I would like to increase that POF . Normally, this will make me spend some extra months working at sea(to get salaries which would significantly increase my bank status) but you know time is another factor being considered. Working for those extra months would as well mean that I would have to look towards 2023 for my application to fully set in(I want to have my bank statement ready before applying to avoid delays on my side )
So just now, I’m thinking of gift deeds, but to be honest, I don’t know much about how it works.
Can my brother give me gift deeds? If he can, what documents do I have to get from him? How much is the max he can give ? Has gift deeds ever been grounds for refusal?

Note: I studied marine transportation from a university outside Nigeria . I have had some years of practical sea experience as an officer onboard ships .Now I intend to apply for Masters in Maritime studies in Memorial university

Please I will appreciate some inputs ��

I believe this ban won't last for long. As time goes on, and after they must have studied the new variant, they will likely go ahead with their January 15 mandate that all must be vaccinated before entering. This time, even if you're fully vaccinated, you will still need to do COVID test at POE
