I guess they know authentic tickets by seeing it on your phone or the hard copy.
Hola55:


So they don't check flights tickets on their system by just showing them on your phone?

Well, i can't really dispute your point. However, i had a different experience at Pearson Airport. Initially i booked my flight from Lagos to Amsterdam to Calgary(my destination). I avoided Pearson Airport as well. But as fate would have it, the day i was meant to travel, my flight from Amsterdam to Calgary was cancelled and rerouted to Toronto then Calgary. I had no choice but to fly that route. On landing at Pearson Airport, I summoned the courage to face the immigration officer. Our conversation went thus:
IM Officer: Can i have your passport
Me: I handed it to him
IM Officer: Why are you in Canada?
Me: I'm here to visit my family(Spouse & Child have PR)
IM Officer: Where are they?
Me: Calgary
IM Officer: 1st time in Canada?
Me: Yes
IM Officer: When are you leaving?
Me: In a month's time.
IM Officer: Do you have a return ticket?
Me: Yes
IM Officer: Can I see it?
Me: I showed it to him on my phone.
IM Officer: Welcome to Canada
Me: Thank you.
I left and went my way to board my connecting flight to Canada. Our discussion was about 3 mins and that was it. This was about 2weeks+. Just ensure you have necessary documents, cash to cover your stay just incase you are asked. Maybe mine was easy because i have my family here or it was God or both. Be prayerful as well. All the best to all travellers


Can you please tell me about the Airline you went with and the procedures.I also have a visit visa and my husband and child has pr.I will be traveling with my daughter and I learnt I will have to book to and fro tickets but my question now is I learnt I can’t pass through Europe without its visa and us also.So please explain how you did yours.
Thanks

The caveat is that you can't pass through 2 European/Schengen countries without a Schengen visa but if your layover is just 1 country doesn't matter.e.g- if you'll travel with Air France with layover only at Paris then straight to Canada you're fine. But if the layovers are Amsterdam (1) and Paris (2) before Canada that's when you need a Schengen Visa.

Some people book return flights with free cancellation or at a decent cancellation fee, upon arrival they can cancel the 'fro' ticket.
Cheers Ma

Yes, u said it already, the only people they don't really terrorise is if you say you are coming to visit a family and truly they see you have a family there, they will not worry u, but if u say u came for conference or you came normally for tour, omo, them go just dey ask u all sorts like say , them know say u wan use that opportunity stay back in Canada, that's the reason.

There was a guy, the guy said he came to see his brother , they say make him call am make them follow am talk for what's app, it was until they did video call, and the officer confirm truly na him brother and he is expecting him, before they allow him pass. Toronto border officer are mad people.

Thank God yours was smooth. Enjoy the fall season

(THIS DOESNT APPLY TO PEOPLE WITH VALID US OR AND CANADA VISA) AIRFRANCE has a tool to check..

I don't know where your destination is in Canada. However, mine was Calgary. So I booked departure ticket 1st, Lagos to Amsterdam to Calgary but flight from Amsterdam to Calgary was cancelled and I was
rerouted from Amsterdam to Toronto to Calgary. Then a few days to my departure I booked my return ticket while I was still in Lagos. A few days after I got to Calgary I cancelled the return ticket and I was refunded. So, I'll book my return ticket when I'm close to leaving Canada. You can have one stop over in Europe. For example, if its KLM, 1 stop in Amsterdam and fly to Canada, USA but has to be outside Europe. Again, if it's Air France, you can only do 1 stop in Paris and fly out of Europe except you have transit visa/ Schengen visa. I hope this helps. Cheers

My guy no vex abeg, I said I should help my people complaining there is no LMIA job, i want let them know that being in canada does not mean you are well informed.
If you fail to plan before leaving for canada, den you plan to fail.
Only those with the shortage skill occupation stand a chance of getting LMIA jobs
Truck driving in provinces
Farm labourers in Provinces

All dose I know got LMIA
5 weeks training in truck driving in Nigeria
2 months internship in truck driving in Nigeria with recommendation letter from driving school and internship job

They entered canada Nad went to Brampton, applied for CDL liecense and passed the test and got the liecense
The one dat did not pass went through the 1 month training in canada, a bit expensive and then passed the test.

The training school referred them to companies and they got LMIA jobs
Flagpole and got work permit

The good thing is that you can apply from PR after 2 years driving truck as a shortage skill occupation

And you do not need experience to be a truck driver in canada with the Canadian liecense, except you are Appling through express entry.

So for those shouting no LMIA, think about shortage skills and get trained.

Job full ground with LMIA, na u dey find soft work 😆
I got trained In one of the truck training school in Nigeria, I'm currently on internship, what are my chances of getting job in Canada from here

Hello,

To my own understanding I think he was asking about Microfinance Banks/Microcredit Banks.

If that is the case; some people had used it and got approved whilst others were not.

You can decide to give it a try (A verifiable one) but you can support this with a Commercial Bank Account Statements (Otherwise known as the Regular Banks).

Good-luck.

Regards,
