Chai, so sorry! Thank God you got there safely

omoMessiah:
Very correct.
I just arrived, since on Thursday ahhh

Used klm
Flight 11:45pm on 22nd arrived Amsterdam past 7am.
Next flight for 12pm Netherlands time, we boarded and one story to another by klm for 4hrs inside plane then on the run way moving already before they said AC is bad etc they sha cancelled the flight booked for only one night for hotel and flight is supposed to be in 2days time(Saturday 5pm) and my conference is on friday abi what is this nothing wey man fit do. They said the hotel will update it... OK ooo.
We sha wait to use hotel that's outside of the airport, immigration refused because we don't have schengen or Netherlands visa but later they sha run Background check and gave some of us 2days stay visa inside Netherlands and passport stamped naxo I sha enter and still see my elder brother.

Back to the hotel matter, after first night and now check out time na im hotel ppl tell us say klm paid for 1night and we had to leave(this happened to all ppl in different hotels) we got back to airport and klm told us to pay for 2nd night including other expenses and we will be refunded... issorite ooo

Saturday sha came and we zoomed but then some people are still left as plane over full and klm asked for volunteers who are willing to cancel their flight and will be compensated... to cut it short we landed successfully.

At POE I didn't spent up to 50secs

Officer: what are u here for

Me: xyz conference (didn't even ask if conference passed or not as the flight delay caused it)

Officer: is this related to your profession?

Me: YES, she checked my information on her system.

Officer: How many days are you staying and what accommodation?

Me: x days and y hotel

Officer: welcome to Canada

Me: smiling like ayamatanga...lol

Hello guys, dm just send me PPR tonight. Anyways I'm fine but not too happy like that sha, because they refused me.last week Saturday and it ry pain my ass, but I cum check my SOP myself and discovered I funked up. Naso I sit down recompose o, vert detailed and simple English like ss2 pikin even with a lot of errors I swear na after submission I noticed those errors, but grace speaks, even my lil brother that got approved last week has a lot of errors on his SOP, so I think there's more to this SOP thing than big big English, detailed matters and explanations of any lump sum. Good luck to those waiting for ppr, me just dey like this having a cup of coffee as he de rain. Pls make your SOP understandable with very simple English and explaina lump sum. Good night peepz

Two, first just asked why are you here, told him to see my wife, he collected receipt from the kiosk n marked it. I even thought I’ve passed immigration until I was directed to immigration desk again.

Just be relaxed, it’s nothing serious. Be familiar with everything you filled during your application.
