Yes you can. Your dad can also explain it in his letter of support (if he is submitting one)

Meeny123:
Hello guys, does anyone know if family members are being allowed to travel/accompany students into Canada? I understand they also have to apply, but are they (family/accompany member) considered as essential travel too?

I will appreciate answers or experiences at point of entry. Thanks.

mcobex:
You can travel with your family if they have their visa as well.
You can either apply alone first then apply for them once you get your TRV or you apply together as a family.
That being said, I always advise applicants to apply alone first and use their family as home-tie , then apply for their family once they get their own TRV. But the choice is yours to make

Salientjoe:
Hello Nairalanders,

Please I need information about the Form A platform, especially from people who have paid Memorial tuition fees with it.

I mailed the cashier office yesterday and they recommend I use GlobalPay student platform to make payment. As it stands, I don't have any idea on how the platforms work.

I could really use the information now as the deadline for payment is so close.

Thank you.

You will need to apply for approval before they can travel. You can apply for the approval after they receive their Visa and LOI

Chukwubuikexo:
Sorry for your refusal,

For the sake of clarity create a checklist of all the documents you will submit
Concerning the travel history if you have ever been abroad before you should provide the necessary clear documents(copies of visas, tickets etc) if not state that you have not travelled outside Nigeria before and as such you have no travel history except within Nigeria

Your purpose of visit needs to be clear, precise and full of valid points on why you want to study the course, Why you choose Canada and the institution, how it connects to your past qualifications and your future plans (i.e, that is what you plan to do with the knowledge you would acquire)
Provide all the necessary bank statements and asset documents to prove you have enough funds for study, you can pay your first year or semester tuition to further assert you financial capability (add a financial table, clearly breaking down your proposed study expenses and funds available)

From the little i know, there seems to be a little problem with your academic files, probably you misplaced one or two of them, which brought about the “academic record , qualification from previous study, missing marksheet and level of establishment" reason. Make sure your transcripts, university certificate, waec result and every necessary academic documents is added

Did you add your IELTS result via the NSE program, if yes and you reached the cutoff, reiterate that your language abilities are excellent and you have had English as your basic educational language( a waiver letter from your university would help)

They will need a written authorisation

Hi guys, sorry it took this long.

Did not do covid test. No one checked my luggage in Lagos. Just went to the Ethiopian airlines stand, gave them enrolment letter, admission letter, arrive can receipt photocopy and I checked in my luggage. Begged the checker to put me by the window for all flights up to Newfoundland, he did and i just tipped his something. Went to have breakfast and then dashed towards the boarding gate. As expected, na only pilot no tax me. Plane left around 2. We got to Addis Ababa around 9.
Getting out of the plane, we rushed to the boarding gate to get set for Dublin. Plane left around 11 and we got to Dublin about 8 hrs later I think. This was so so long. There was quite a delay at Dublin I think because of logistics but from Dublin to Toronto it took us about 7 hrs. The journey was long for me as my max before now used to be around 5 hrs.

We got to Toronto, waited for about 30 minutes in the plane, went straight to border services, filled a few forms, showed our arrive can, boarding pass and passport and then we were directed towards immigration. The guy just came to us, asked us for passport, tuition receipt/enrolment verification, declaration form and admission letter. 10 minutes later, he called me, gave me back my documents and issued my study permit and gave me a paper to direct me on how to get my social insurance number, then that was all.

Checked in my luggage going to Newfoundland. It was still past 11 and my flight was for 9:30 pm so i just followed my Nigerian friends going to Vancouver to their boarding gate, gisted and saw them off at past 2. Then it was only me. This was draining. I then began to tour the airport and met a South Sudanese woman with whom I discussed the state of our countries and neo-colonialism. She's a Canadian citizen so she enlightened me a whole lot and when she realized i didnt have cash cause I was complaining on phone that i was hungry, she gave me 20 U.S dollars but the mumu me went to Italian to buy ham, bacon and coke. I forcefully finished it o.


Went to my boarding gate 2 hrs prior and saw a white guy. Moved closer to him and started a conversation. He was speaking fast so my accent also had to change. We discussed Trump, liberalism, Canada's plan towards development and economic expansion, American and Chinese trade wars and the beauty of data analytics in Insurance. A few minutes to board, we parted and he got to the plane first as per him seat be like first class.


I later got on the plane but when the plane paced around the runway, i think it began to have issues so the captain said we'd return to the gate and do a system refresh on the plane. It delayed for two hours. I sha know say after like five minutes wey plane move up, i don sleep. Before I know, e don remain 8 minutes to land. Landing was thrilling cause the journey from Lagos was long. I got to the NFL border, took my luggage, approached the border official, submitted my passport, travel declaration form and my GT atm card for indentification. She spoke her English and then freed me. I met my greeter and he put me in the cab but failed to tell the porter i was coming cause he was attending to two others.


The cabman dropped me and I knocked and knocked but nobody came through. I was just on a shirt. I languished in the cold, shouted for help but no one came through. I saw a car pass by and slowly approached the car and an Asian lady listened to me, asked me to wait and she called her supervisor. I ran across the road for like five minutes to limit the effect of the cold and then she drove towards me and gave me a number to call but that was when the other two guys came and the porter came around. I went in, called the greeter, fuckling blast him and he apologized. I was then shown my room and I checked in for isolation. I am in quarantine.
A mix of experiences you see?

Summe:
This is very detailed. A mix of experiences indeed! Congratulations once again. I can't wait to join you in Newfoundland.

How did you go about getting Canadian dollars of your own? Did you open a bank account at the airport? Just in case I don't meet a nice white woman that would give me 20 dollars for food. �

Oduffa:

Good evening house, I just uploaded my IELTS TRF

I noticed there was no link for me to upload new MBS as they didn't require it, but my balance has improved from $28k when I applied to about $32k now.

Do u think I shld go ahead and raise a web form to submit an updated MBS or just leave it since they didn't request for it?

Your opinions are welcome plz.

Kakokako:
I carried the 2 main 23kg bags, a carry on luggage of about 7kg and my shuttle bag. None of my bag was weighed. I just went straight to wrapping the luggage bags with nylon to preserve my precious garri, egusi, ata Ata gbigbe and some dry fish, knorr maggi

Omo guys i just submitted my bank statements today after submitting my IELTS last week thursday. FCMB couldn’t get the mybankstatement due to technical issues so they printed the 12months from January till today which had a balance on 7m , they stamped each page with the bank’s logo, attached the bank’s reference letter and my letter which contained my application details and sent to the canadian embassy abuja. I scannned the statements and uploaded them on my application before sending webforms with explanation. My application has changed to submitted now. Happy to have done all this before 25th deadline. My school University of Regina Saskatchewan resumes 25th of Jan. I pray i get the bvl and ppr on time before ending of January God’s Grace. Let the Will of God be Done.
