[quote author=nonen post=79862184][/quote]You are still missing it.

Your post refers to only one transit or stop over.

If you are transiting in Paris CDG plus another EU airport e.g Amsterdam Schipol, you would be denied boarding in Nigeria if you do not have a schengen or transit visa.

As per getting a transit visa, is it worth the stress? In addition to it not being guaranteed, why would you want to take the risk? I think it's better to buy a ticket with one stop-over in Europe than go through the hassle of obtaining a transit visa, except you are saving lots of money on the tickets.

Transit visa is not required for any EU country including UK except you're changing airport within that country e.g between Heathrow and Gatwick. You could always confirm from the airline.

Thanks for the reply. I also want to also ask if you landing for the first time in Canada does the pr visa enable you to stay in UK for some days say a week before getting to Canada.

You need a visa to enter the UK as a Nigerian.

Naira to USD. The USD is a worldwide legal tender, unlike the CAD which isn't at the moment.

No it does not. You're not a PR yet until you first land in Canada and get your PR card.

Best option is to exchange some CAD for Naira after arriving. Just have some money to sustain you for the first few days, open an account,

Please I would like more light to be thrown on WES evaluation and ICAN. I want to know if it can be considered as a Canadian equivalent certificate

Congrats on your landing.

Just wanted to note that you don't have to wait 6 months to get the child care subsidy in Ontario.

At least in the peel region where I stay, we didn't have to wait 6 months to get it. You can apply for it immediately you and your spouse get jobs.

This is also applicable to parents that are schooling.

The idea is, the parents must either be working or schooling.

Wow, $1900 for creche fee, that's a lot.

I believe this will apply to a good part of Ontario cos I had actually called to know when I would start receiving subsidy and it was confirmed that wait-list was 6 solid months and whatever I paid the creche within those months will not be refunded. If you don't provide documentations for work or school that one is just waste of time and resources cos your waitlist starts to count when you make them available. The 1900 CAD is also for two babies, and they actually informed me of an increase to 2,200 CAD the next month for both of them. Check out cedar hollow school. its in London ON. Its better to be prepared than to come and get stranded. That's the whole point. Thanks

BTA to where and for what purpose? Is your POF still intact?

Thank you,

Been waiting for a response. Canada, for study. POF is very intact.

You're welcome.

$250 is very okay - should cover for your taxi, stop-over breakfast or lunch and in-flight specials, if you ever need one.
Don't allow any person to bully or con you at the airport oooo (typically for first-time travelers from Naija). Simply tell them that all the money you will ever require for your trip is on your Visa/Mastercard.

Safe trip!

We recently received our copr letter from IRCC, however, my wife’s passport is being renewed. How do we notify IRCC about the change in passport, as we’re about transmitting passports to Ghana through VFS?

Average is like 1650CD per month for my 2 kids but currently not paying anything yet.

Interesting, apparently the rules are quite different in your region.

Just a little clarification please. Does this apply to a PR travelling to Lagos with two stops in Europe? in this case, stopover in Paris and Amsterdam?

I think so as u will need it

so long as you are using a Nigerian passport to travel through the two airports , you will need a transit visa

Hello House has anybody processed FRSC extract recently, Mr. Sule not picking. Also does anyone have an idea where the FRSC office for processing it in Abuja is.

It's in Wuse zone 3 opposite the Nigeria Customs headquarters. You can obtain the extract on the fourth floor , where officer Sule sits.

thanks @ITABABE and @Hotstepper
