Anyone used Ethiopian Airlines online check in here? How was it compared to normal check in?

I tried doing that but it doesn't work for trips to Canada. You must present yourself before checking in. It probably has to do with the verifications they do at the airport before you're allowed to fly.

We are on this ship together ooo..
Where are you going to? I am going to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Has anyone used a third-party sponsor here?

ConradAce1:



Nice opinion but note this. The chances are very very slim to get a masters admission With that GPA. You might just waste that application fees.
The university wouldn’t deny. Just wait & see the outcome. “Sorry you didn’t meet our eligibility” & don’t qualify for the program.

I concur with this..

If there was Application fee Waiver for this Masters Admission, there is no harm for a 2.2 graduate to try his or her luck by applying

OtunbaTee:

Yes mate. .it has to do with explanations. I.e explaining your intentions. Check page 1 for more info

Hi everyone, hope you’re enjoying your Sunday? The requirement for bank statement on Canada Immigration website is past 4 month bank statement while some people here claim 6 months. Please which one should I use? 4 or 6 months?

And lastly, what’s the exchange rate of $CAD10000 to naira so I can know how much to leave in my bank account after paying my tuition fee.

Looking forward to see a response from anyone.

Thank you.

Google online exchange rates site. Would have recommended one. But don't wanna be banned. Send me message

Babyboy2020:
pls can I see a sample of how to write the letter of explanation

LOE is a letter which an Applicant who got refused of a Study visa will write to address/tackle his/her refusal reasons

If you are a first time applicant lt's an SOP (Statement of Purpose) that is required of you

Babyboy2020:
pls can I see a sample of how to write the letter of explanation

Difference between SOP & LOE

SOP - Statement of Purpose
The theme of a SOP is geared more towards the first time visa applicants. In this case, the applicant will more likely talk about how the advance studies is going to complement past academics and how it will brighten up the future career scope. In addition, various other topics will be addressed such as capability to finance studies & living cost, why particular program, why Canada, why particular institution etc.

LOE - Letter of Explanation
The theme of a LOE is geared more towards the re-applicants (after their visa has been rejected in past). In this case, the applicant will start first-half of the letter by explaining what went wrong in previous applications and on what ground it was rejected. How those issues are addressed in the present application. In the later part of the letter the usual SOP stuff goes in.

Read on this thread sef that some people had 6pages while writing theirs

Hello Dameelee,

You should fill it within 48 hours from your arrival time in Canada. The app will let you if you fill it in earlier than that, but you might have problems when you get into Canada. They pulled people who filled it in earlier than 48 hours before arrival and asked them to fill it in again. It would waste your time and stress you out. You can set a reminder on your phone to remind you to fill it in maybe 24 hours before your flight. Don’t forget to print your confirmation receipt after filling it in or have a screen shot of it.

Best wishes and have a safe flight.

Dameelee:
How soon can i fill the arriveCan form before traveling, I want to fill it now and I’m traveling on the 27th.

Complete landing gist

I flew from Uyo to Lagos on Tuesday evening and I stayed with a family friend for the night. I arrived the airport around 10am for a flight of 1.40pm. I thought I was early until I saw the queue. Quick tip: even if your flight is for 6pm, get to the airport around 12pm and stay there till they are ready for you .

Ethiopian airlines usually do manual verifications of all students travelling to Canada. You really need to be there on time for this because the man doing it is slow and doesn't care about your time. He asked for proof of enrollment, admission letter, ArriveCAN slip, and visa page. Please make at least two copies of all of these too. After showing him, he'll snap and then send to someone via WhatsApp to verify. Once confirmed, your passport will be given a number and you'll then proceed to where it will be scanned again for secondary verification. After this stage, you will then go to where you can get a boarding pass.

The plane left Lagos around 2pm. I was seated at the back and had space to stretch legs . We got to Addis Ababa around 7pm (Nigeria time) and then we entered a long queue for onward movement. From Addis Ababa, we went to Dublin for refueling and then to Toronto. Upon arrival, we talk a long walk (very long o) and got to immigration people. The woman that attended to me asked for these (in the following order):
1. Declaration slip (will be given to you in the airplane)
2. Passport
3. LOI
4. Student Status letter (enrolment letter)
5. School fees/tuition receipt
6. ArriveCAN page (apparently, I didn't even fill my own well and was delayed for a while. Make sure you fill yours well)
7. POF
8. LOA

She asked me the following:
Which department were you admitted into?
Why did you choose MUN?
What is your name?

Then she took my finger prints and issued me a Study Permit for 3 years (my program is for 2 years but I don't know why it was issued in excess).

I went to wait board a St John's flight after a long wait at the airport. Got to St. John without qualms. Reach my apartment, checked in and slept off.


Exams start on Monday. Canada is beautiful and nice. I love the place. Good luck to all who are applying or will soon come.

It has ended in praises.

congrats sis, so happy for you. Pls my sister is yet to pay her tuition,we are planning that she pays when she get to Canada or are we to pay before she travels? Pls your response will be appreciated, which one is arriveCAN slip
