Hello,

Please gurus in the house, I have a question to ask.

I submitted two bank statements for my sponsor with my application. When I got the NSE letter and they requested for mybankstatement, he used another account, different from the two I submitted originally but with the same total amount. Is this okay?

maestro09:
Good day everyone.

Please I want to know if I can get a deed of gift from my Dad and my Mum, even though it’s my my sister who is sponsoring me?

I am asking because they also want to support me and have transferred some monies to my account. Can a deed of gift be used to explain what the huge deposit is for?

My account balance without the money from my parent has more than 10,000 CAD for my living expenses (mostly from my sponsor and my personal savings from my salary earnings).

Thanks for your response.

Ckechi:
Also, how does the mybankstatement work? Do they send directly to IRCC?

Yes visit your bank to send the one year bank statement to the Canadian Embassy directly then a single page ticket ID and password will be printed out which you would upload back with your Application or when they request for it.
Note it's not all banks that are into it so you need to know if your bank does it

LANDING GIST!

I greet u all in the name of Visas and student permit

So as life don do me strong thing for naija(lost every thing I had) I come decide dec 21 2019 when my immediate elder brother de go London say e be like I need to ja o.

My brother used an agent and I met the guy at the airport that day. We exchanged contact and the rest was history.
So, feb 2020, I contacted him and we started my processing. He did everything but along the line, when I was itching to know details, I was told I can get info on Nairaland which was how I came here.

Fast forward to 20th of November, the ups dispatch rider called that he was at my gate to deliver my passport and that was how preparations started o

With all the informations I gathered here and outside I book Qatar airline for the 24th of Dec. I got to the airport early around 11am but had to wait for my FAAN friend to take me and my brother in cos me no get shi shi to give any airport officials. He came late and we finally entered the airport around 2pm. Normal as I don late the queue don long reach jericho. I sha secured a spot(naija way) and went ahead to weigh my luggage. Ghen ghen! Luggage excess like say na exile I de go. Na so we start to see what and what I can remove o but at the end of the day, I figured I needed everything so I decided to pay for the extra 23kg which was N106k. It was a process to pay and by the time I was done, they were already saying boarding will start in the next hour. Well, I paid, went inline again and it finally got to my turn and the officials had to do the normal confirmation. So, instead of waiting I come go change naira to 500 dollars cos I didn’t carry anything before but i figured i might need cash when I land even though I had paid for everything for my quarantine. I got back and the official passed me, I went ahead to get my boarding pass... dude was just shouting up and down because i carried back pack and another hand luggage which was more than 9kg. Naim i tell d guy say, so after i paid 106k for extra luggage u still want me to tip u? Nahhhh e no go happen and if I miss my flight, e go know say I be real edo girl. He sha started laughing from no where and said ok anything na, naim i tip the guy 1k then told him to give me window seat which he did. Na so we start to run to immigrations to clear us before we go board o. Got there, dropped my filled yellow card and they only asked me for the arrive can app and I was cleared. I was among the last 10 – 20 pple that entered the plane cos the luggage matter took my whole time #phew

I got in, plane was so niceeeeee , settled down and in like 30 minutes we were up in the sky
Plane was nice nice, food de roll even though na cold bland rubbish, I chop am like dat de visit toilet to offload and get ready for another upload. Few hours into the flight I noticed pple were holding their phones, I asked and was told there was WiFi and I was like Ogbara Jesus!!!! I quickly brought out my phone and that was how I connected o and was chatting with my family(Omg! It was so nice). I saw a movie and later slept. 10hrs later we were in doha and as we were coming down we were boarding the next flight to montreal. So, in all we spent about an hour in doha and off we go again. Plane was nice nice and it was same thing with the chopping, shitting, wifi, movies, sleeping. Even though this was the longest flight of my life, I didn’t feel it much cos of the services on the plane. Na my family just de shout say u never reach? I was chilling and enjoying myself.

We finally got to montreal(beautiful airport) and we went straight to declaration and from there to the CBSA stand where I was asked what I came for, my LOA and arrive can app. The officer then asked me to refill my info on the app cos I wasn’t exempted. Apparently, I made a mistake while filling it before. Anyways, I refilled and refilled until he took me to another officer, explained to her and was told I need to fill the form manually. I did and was directed to immigrations where I was asked only for my passport, why i was in canada, LOA and LOE. She then asked how much I am carrying and i told her 500 dollars and my atm cards(Kobo no de the cards o.... na mind I cross take handle this part like this o plus God was just on my side). I gave her the letters asked for and in few seconds, she got up, printed, stamped my student permit and welcomed me to Canada.

Oh my connecting flight to calgary was cancelled. I got to know this when I went to pay for my extra luggage in naija. I was angry but mehnnn na make I just comot I de reason cos I know when I get into canada I will sort myself. So when I got in, I went to the air canada stand to confirm my flight which was the next morning cos I no trust naija. Well, it was confirmed and the official were so angry on my behalf that Qatar should provide me with where to stay for the night atleast. For my mind make una no worry oooo I don enter be say I don enter. I told them I will go to Qatar to ask but Omo! Before I waka the airport finish 10pm don nack na so I come back to air canada stand area, saw 2 pple chilling and I just jeje took myself there, arrange and lie down, chatting and video calling my family. I was able to stay the night like that till the next morning and at about 5am I went to check in for my flight which was for 7am. We started boarding at about 15mins to 7. This time, I was among the first 5 pple to enter the plane this was where it dawned on me that I was in another land cos I was the only black person on that plane. I said wow for like 2 min straight cos it really hit me o. Anyways, plane jet off and I just slept cos I was tired as Bleep! I woke up a little bit relaxed, watched a movie that didn’t finish and after 5hrs we were in calgary! At about 10:15am on the 26th of Dec. Omg! It was so white and beautiful. I got out, got my kaya, called my school cab and in like 1min the cab guy was in front. The cold was much o but because of all the gist I don hear, I was well dressed o. Na ogbonge jacket i wear so I no feel the cold much. The car was heated so it was a smooth ride. The Indian rider was nice and was gisting me all through the ride. We got to my school residence and in no time I was in my room. Nice place but the food na wa eeee. No pepper but as God will have it, a nice guy from my school whatsapp group helped me got some few stuff so I cook better pepper jollof wey I de use de balance my taste buds. The residence wan use their kinda food kill person sha. Although, apart from the food, I’m good good. I got in, settled and paid my tuition few days ago cos I only paid tuition deposit of 1750 Canadian dollars but I’ve paid my term tuition now and waiting for school to resume Jan 11th.

P.S cagary is beautiful and i can’t wait to explore!

Thank u all and may God grant every hopeful visas and student permit soon IJN #WeMuevee

Yes a GIFT DEED is good and which explains the huge deposit any huge deposit coming into your account do a gift deed and notarize it that summarizes it all cuz if you don't they will ask questions on why the lump sum and the source of where it's coming from hence the essentiality of the notarized gift deed

Ckechi:
Thank you very much, I've gotten the page.

awys:
Let me add to the above for Manitoba I know that especially within 6months after your graduation if you are able to ace a Job and start working after 6months thereabout in your field of Study I bolded that cuz that's the only condition placed the job must be in your field of Study then you can start the filing process for your PR under their international graduate scheme it's a new scheme newly introduced for graduates then they start the process for PR you can also check the Manitoba website on this

fratermathy:
Goodluck to all TRV applicants in this new thread. I started with the previous thread from Nigeria and now I'm in Canada. May it be the same for you.

Remember that approval is not by how many things you submit or how excellent your application documents are. It's mostly a game of luck, who the VO is, "divine grace", and doing the right things. Always keep things simple if you can. Don't appear too desperate by overdoing things and don't be too laid back by not submitting the essential documents.

Before you ask questions, do a simple search on Google and add Nairaland to the end of the search query so that you can see if the question has been answered before. If you need further clarification after that, you can then ask. Remember that nobody is mandated to answer any question here. We are all partners in progress, so don't feel angry if your question goes unanswered. Just ask again and do so politely. Before I became active here, I had read almost all the pages from parts 13-16. I also advise others to do same and by the time you're done, you would know so much about the entire process and could even be an agent if you want.

Hi guys

Arrived Edmonton, Alberta yesterday. It was majorly hassle-free the entire journey. Now in quarantine.

LAGOS AIRPORT

Checked in online 24 hours to my flight on the 1st of Jan. Apparently, economy class for KLM only allows one check-in luggage plus hand luggage and an accessory. Paid 42k for another check-in luggage. I had my 24 hours old covid test result with me, that seemed to be the most important thing. They didn’t check any other thing for me, not even admission letter. Like I was flowing through immigration check points showing just the covid lab test result, passport and one negative covid declaration other form I filled that’s required by Netherlands for transit flyers. Took off for the 6 hour flight to Amsterdam. Apart from occasional turbulence, it was smooth.

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT

Landed in Amsterdam for a 6 hour layover. Here, after normal stop and brief search, they just asked for admission letter, passport and boarding pass. Boarded for the 9 hour flight to Calgary.

CALGARY AIRPORT

Landed here and went through same immigration hassle. You fill a deceleration questionnaire on one touch screen machine to state purpose of visit and mention if you flying with animal agric products and all. I flew with stock fish, crayfish and all and I clicked YES to say I was flying with animal and plant products. The immigration officer asked what I was flying with, mentioned it to him and he said those ones are ok, that I should have clicked NO. He also asked for LOI, ArriveCAN receipt on my phone and admission letter. It’s better one declare and you are corrected and not declare and you are held down. Thanked him for the insight and was directed to another border officer to get my study permit. Took about 10 minutes to get the study permit after showing them just my admission letter and LOI. I proceeded to board for the 25 minutes flight to Edmonton.

EDMONTON AIRPORT

Just showed my passport here and that was all. Got my luggage and was out of the airport. My check-in luggages and hand luggage were open or searched. They were the same way from Lagos to Edmonton. But my bag crossed over my arm was opened and searched in Amsterdam and Calgary.

Note:

Please ask question when in doubt. While walking through a transit airport and the airport in Canada, you can sometimes miss your way and ultimately miss your flight cos time is of the essence. They are friendly and you will be directed. Please remember to have your face mask on at all times, except when eating, you can be fined for negligence.

All through my journey, I only had to present LOI, ArriveCAN, passport and admission letter, that’s all. I wasn’t even asked for proof of funds or enrollment letter. This will not be the case for everyone as diff airports have diff checks.

For visa hopefuls, keep the faith in God. Yours is loading. Take care!

FINALLY MY LANDING GIST !!!

we departed lagos on Sunday 27th December 2020 with EGYPT AIR.

before my flight
so i woke up at about 3:10AM on sunday, bags packed then it dawned on me me that i was finally leaving Nigeria. i had mixed feelings at first as i was heading to a new country i kept refleting o the journey so far from when i joined this thread in March 2020 how helpful its been cause i didn't use any agent, the long wait with unertainties from IRCC VFS and the likes. when the day broke i was filled with joy as my sister kept hyping me, so went to church to praie and thank God for everything before Leaving for the Airport.

LAGOS AIRPORT
So i got to the airport at about 11AM thinking i would just walk in as i had cheked in online the previous day, but no o, na so them diret enter queue . the checked all necessary documents, it was intact, i didnt need to settle anybody a dime. i saw one beautiful babe but didn't know it was Dameelee since i wasn't sure she was the one so i sent her a message through Nairaland DM she idn't reply so i said nor be she.
naso plane come o, looking very very scary, wasn't sure if i shuld board but when you look nigeria, you nor go thing twice run enter plane.
ADVICE- Bring everything you need cause services at the airport is expensive (Biro N100, Photocopy N300, Mask N500, Withdraw Cash N500 for N3,000 etc)
so the plane left, and time for food naso them give us bread and bread and bread mixed with chicken and cheese, my pain with the food esp the bread i that they were all very cold. for me the food is ZERO, so after 5 hours we got to Egypt, went straight to the immigration section, then i realised i didn't travel with my Tuition Reciept but thank God it was nott noticed. Then i confirmed this beautiful lady i saw in Nigeria was Dameelee and we connected she was nice, we waited for 4hours and now it wa time to board Cairo to Toronto. the plane was so beautiful and sharp.

tho i never enter plane before but the flight was loooooooooooooooooooooooong

after about 12hours we got to Toronto, OMOOOOOOOOOR!!!! Na me be this? from Warri to Toronto? i wan happy die but base on who we be we just package like say na normal life for us but if you see my MIIIIIND!!! i don throw backy tire. was still looking out for Dameelee hoping she nor miss for air cause she also got window seat
Fist time i saw Snow Live through the window i just dey smile inside my mind but outwardly we package ourself

fast forward, we got to immigration and my tuition reciept became an issue, i was delayed for some minutes cause they had to verify if truely iwas a student of CONESTOGA COLLEGE, finally baba gave me my Study Permit. OMOOOOOOOOR!!! i saw angels rolling re carpet for me to enter, naso me and Dameelee dey call family telling them we don finally land and cross POE

The HON RALFUDOH contacted me to pick me at the airport, when i stepped out of the aiport, MY PEOPLE OOOOOO the cold wen slap me eh infact the cold when HIT me, two seonds i reverse enter airport again before person turn okporoko finally HON RALFUDOH CAME jamming Naija gbedu songs in his car, was so warm inside.. As we dey drive, naso i dey talk OMOOOOOOOR!!! na me dey canada llike this Na me dey see Snow like this.
HON RALFUDOH was so nice that the gave me served me RICE and Confirm Pepper Stew, the food enter wella for the cold.
