Landing gist!!!
I got to the airport around 5.30 on March 9. They allowed my mum, aunt and uncle to enter with me after much persuasion..
As soon as we entered,the agriculture guys decided to check my bag and I payed 2k for declaration and a certificate I was given…

Next stop was British Airways desk. I weighed my stuff and had to do some rearrangements to avoid extra luggage payment. After that I went to the counter for my documents to be checked.
They asked for passport,Arrive can, PCR test, enrollment letter, and letter of acceptance .
Then I showed them the mail I sent to the school and their reply about how enrollment letter isn’t necessary. The lady sha wanted to be dragging with me. I know my rights. Enrollment letter isn’t really their business here and she took me to her boss and that one said I could check in without it..
She gave me a yellow card for immigration. I proceeded to get me boarding passes and off to meet my family.. this was around past 7.
Chilled with them till about 8 because it wasn’t easy for them just standing so I told them to leave and I proceeded to immigration. I was checked. Some men wanted to ask for money I said I didn’t have naira on me anymore.
Then to the boarding gates of British Airways. We were checked in at 9:56pm and boarded the flight at 10:48pm. Took off at exactly 11:26 to London Heathrow ..

Got to Heathrow at 4:40am (UK time). My layover is for 7 hours�. Did the whole serenren of finding my gate for connecting flight and security checks.. Just ask questions if you need any help, they are always available to help. No go lost o. Lol
Settled down finally at 5:52am.. called family and friends and then walked around to get brush and paste because BA said they didn’t have. I settled down again, made lots of calls and went to get breakfast. Relaxed and waited for my flight to Toronto.. didn’t walk around much because I was tired..

And the boarding to Toronto began at 11:06am
The plane took off at 12.30pm. We had a few minutes delay . Food was still trash. British Airways need to do better with their meal plans.
Got to Toronto at 14:40 local time . I did the self declaration and proceeded to custom to declare what I had as food stuff .
Then proceeded to the almighty Border desk
I was asked for my letter of acceptance and tuition receipt. I had only payed deposit but showed them my bank app for the balance of my fees. I got my study permit
Then proceeded to the arrival Covid test cz I was selected. Luckily I had registered for switch health so it was easy..
Waiting presently for my connecting flight to Calgary. I’m so excited because I’ll be seeing my nephew for the first time since he was born 4 years ago and seeing my sister after 5 years.
Allihamdulilah
My class starts in May so I have time to get familiar with the place and spend time with my family.

I wish everyone the best.. feel free to ask me any questions

Travel gist.

So at the Toronto airport I got my study permit in like 15 mins. The guy asked me for my arrive can, my letter of introduction, my LOA from my school, my proof of payment and also asked me for proof of funds. I provided everything.
He gave me my study permit and gave me a number to call to extend my permit if I want to stay longer.

It was very simple and easy.

If you have any questions you can ask me.

Hello house a friend got her visa, but seems her school she plan to resume has cancel admission. She didnt pay the deposit when she was to. Will this be an issue at the POE. She already book her flight for next week.

Upton:
Congratulations.

Please do you need a transit visa to fly with air France?

Divinedxtrovert:
Thanks for this, information. I finally made my payment through FlyWire and I told the international admissions through mail that I have made my payment and attached my payment tracking link to it.
Thanks once again for your speedy response.

skull4eva:
That question is difficult to answer directly of your airfrance flight only has one stop in france then you are enroute to Canada then no transit visa is reqired but if your airfrance has more than one stop on the EU a transit visa might be needed

WiZiggy:
She should reapply ASAP

Halyshia:

So we left London, naxo wahala begin with accent again, I no hear pim from what everyone was saying, E kon be like say I no hear English again, the lady beside me seek permission to snap the sky with her iPhone 13, first time, I didn't understand her accent, and she felt like I turned her down. I brought out my phone to snap, naxo the Bae kon ask again, I was like, mio gbo English. She now said can I take a picture of the sky please?. I said, shey nah that one?. No be my papa get plane nah abi which kind thing be this one. Abeg dey snap dey go. This girl snapped like 10 times and at every time, she asked for my permission. I just confess to her, please I am not hearing what the hair hostess are saying, nah London we just komot and I dey hear everything, e reach Canada own I no hear anything again, the Bae agreed to help me with any communications with the air hostess.


My people, naxo I sleep go o, dem share first food , appetizer and drinks, Omo aye, as I open my eye like this. The girl done shack 2 enikeni ( Heineken) go. Eweh. I don't want to disgrace Una with my own , I no fit call hostess say make dem bring my own, dem no go hear my English, I no dey hear their own join, naxo I just lock up.



After a while, they started sharing second rounds , they asked me what I wanted , I said RICE, naxo everybody begin dey laugh. Rice no dey, nah chicken kini made with cooked abi baked flour dey. Edakun, bring am.


As I opened the food guys, nna mehn, I was disappointed, I just closed it up. Behold, a still small voice came to me and said " legacy, legacy, legacy, I answered 3 eye. If uno chop this food, ugo faint. Haaa, naxo I begin dey look the girl as she dey chop, if nah exam we dey write and I copied that girl like that, seriously I go write her name and matric number on my answer sheet � .

I carry the food, smash am. Chop am. I watch film ontop. The Bae shack another 2 rounds of Heineken, anything wey I talk wey she no hear, I go type am for phone. I watched film, Kong vs godzilla abi kinikan




After 9 hours on air, we landed in Canada, disembarked from the flight and proceeded to the hall, I generated a receipt, a lady directed me to where I declared my belonging and luggage. A receipt was also generated, waited on a queue and I was gloriously called.

Officer: WHAT are you here to do in Canada,

Me: study

Me : with this my dressing you should know it's a business related course ( nah my school and course I mentioned o ).


He directed me to another place to go get my study permit.

Officer: You came rather too early,

Me: YES, I need to get accommodation and settle down, people that are here since January are still looking for accommodation.


Officer: Go have your seat while I printout your study permit and work permit.

Me: Thanks.

The guy said no, he doesn't accept debit or prepaid card, only credit cards. Baba calm down nah. Eno gree make we try am o. Okay. Take cash, he said no... Inside this cold. By 11pm . Edakun, I no Sabi anybody for here.


Then I got out, went to 7-10 hotels, they all refused to allow me use my cards. Okay nah. Inside this cold. I just called taxi, no be today we dey sleep for park for naija if night catch us for Journey. I returned to airport, chop food, charged my phone and slept like a baby


In the morning, I left my bags, I go charge phone, as I come back, I no see my bag again. 2 bags filled with My clothes and Ijebu garri, abeg nah, no be Oshodi we dey fah.

I went to information desk, a security attended to me and said Canine departments came to carry it, egbami. K wetin you call am, no wahala, okay, gimme their address make I go meet them, dem say no way, nah only info desk close to where I sat can know the location of my bag.

Haha, people wey never come, me wey done dey here since midnight, no be juju be that , una kon say nah dem go get info. Okay nah. 10am knack. I go there , and dey brought out my bag, I signed, gave them my driver's license and they released my bag.
