If you use test to fly in Amsterdam, results can be gotten in less than 2hrs but be willing to pay more for it. I had to pay €239
when did you fly? Before or after the ban was lifted?

I need help!! I have someone in Paris (Charles de Gaulle airport) and he is being told that his student visa cannot be found online so they cannot let him board.
He has his visa and arrivecan receipt and I have just checked his status on the IRCC portal: the visa has not been revoked.
Did anyone have this issue when arriving
I had a similar issue with my wife's visa when arriving in July. My ticket was issued while her's wasn't because the airline said they could not confirm her visa. We had to call IRCC at the airport and the Ethiopian airline operator spoke with the IRCC representative, who also confirmed that there's nothing wrong with her visa. She was later issued with a ticket to Addis Ababa and was told to pick up the connecting ticket to Toronto at Addis airport

If this is your plan, you are better off staying in Nigeria. That lifestyle you are used to in Nigeria either will cost you a lot more here or simply doesn't exist. Except you are an Epstein, this is not the kind of thing people do in Canada. Stay back in Nigeria and quietly enjoy your 5k 2nuts at the very cheap rates you can see it. Drink yourself to stupor and still drive back home even if police dey road. If you carry this attitude to Canada, you will not only suffer and become poorer from your addiction, but you will also be putting yourself at risk of getting caught by the law. For you, one day, bush meat will not be able to outrun the hunter

How much did you have to pay? and was it in Amsterdam?

rosepetraaa:


Another thing is you can pay for airport concierge service for her. I did this for my mom...and there was someone already waiting for her at the airport, who was with her through customs and all... it also includes airport private lounge services. This is more expensive than requesting for wheelchair assistance, though.

Quick question, Can people with visitor visa travel through Amsterdam? secondly, how did you pay for the test. Cash or Card. This is because i heard there is limit to debit card in Nigeria, i think they said $100 monthly or so.

I believe anyone with a valid visa can travel through Amsterdam as far as it's just a layover.
Payment is either with cash or credit card. I paid with my RBC credit card

Yes car mechanics are in the demand. I don't think it is saturated. As a mechanic, you have the opportunity of starting your own business when you get your red seal. Infact, some mechanics earn well as apprentice and choose not to further their education to becoming journeymen. In addition to salary, a lot of apprentices fix cars for people as a side hustle.

Merry Christmas from beautiful British Columbia ❤❤

We had a white Christmas with very heavy snow fall for the first time in over a decade in the lower mainland.

BC having up to -15°C is a first in a long time

LadyIE:
Good day everyone, please I’m about traveling with my family to Winnipeg, I have some concerns as I have two kids aged 4 and 2. How do I get them into a school or daycare center while I work? Does anyone have an idea of the average cost of kids school fees at Winnipeg?
2. Please what time of sim is advisable to purchase for myself and spouse? Do we get individual SIM cards or we go for a family plan
3. Also has anyone traveled with palm oil? How did you carry it?
4. Are there banks I could open an account with from Nigeria?

- The space you use to carry palm oil will be better for other things, they sell them at African stores here.
- Go online and type daycare quote Winnipeg, you’ll find figures for stuff like that. Then search for them and call or email them if you want to get ahead.

- There’s a bank that opens account online, but you can’t use it till you arrive. I don’t advise you do though.
By the time you come you’ll need an appointment to open an account. That’ll be a good time to talk about getting a credit card so you can function here and start building your credit score early.

- Carry enough dollars to tide you for like two months when you land. Then use these money exchange services to bring your Naira over. (Fmexchange, lemonade, africhange) Goodluck!

I don’t know if I’m late with this information but it might help someone, if I knew earlier I wouldn’t have made some silly mistakes or missed my cousin’s wedding. So if you want to RENEW your American visa, the Dropbox option is still very much available. I thought I needed an appointment date and with my Naija mentality I just assumed e go tey. Only for me to try 2 weeks ago and realized I could do drop box. Anyway it took just 1 week for the visa to be issued.

Please note that I put RENEW in caps, if it’s a first time application you need an appointment date.
I did mine in Calgary incase anyone is wondering.

Thanks for reading lol wink

Hello
Thank you for this information. Can a visitor in Canada use this option as well? Pls I would appreciate if you can also add the steps involved with doing Dropbox application. Thank you

I don't think you live in Canada. Canadian women love sex diee more especially women in Atlantic Canada like newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick etc. Just have a profile on Facebook dating you will always hookup with ladies ranging from 22 to 45. Is even very easy cos white women are very straightforward when it comes to sex, is not a big deal for them. No wonder many black guys go for white ladies than their fellow black ladies. E no easy to run away from sexual sin in this oyibo land...may God help us�
