We did not Submit personal Statement of Account.

can u help in Proof Read for corrections ?

Frankielilbaby:
Hi Mosunmolade,
I will always say this. No one writes your SOP as good as you. I will advise you write your own SOP and meter of intent then let someone proof read and make corrections.

pls any update on Abuja People when are they going to reschedule us Bayii

any update have you received your passport now

davodyguy:
On the website, i found this

Your application has been processed and is being transfered to TLScontact.

Meaning by tomorrow, I will know our fate with the Italian embassy.

I'll try to be optimistic, even though I am not

congrat bro enjoy your stay

landing gist!!!
Hey guys,
So my parents, sibling and cousins all followed me to the airport. The drive to the airport was hectic, my flight was actually on Monday and as y’all know Mondays traffic are quite heavy in Lagos. I went with Ethiopian airline and the flight was scheduled to depart by 1 pm but classic Nigerian time we didn’t depart until about 3pm which in turn affected me at Addis Ababa, but I’ll get back to that later in the gist.We left home around 8 am and got to the airport at about 9:30.

There were a total of 6 People with me so we had to bribe with about 3k for all of us to enter. We got to the check-in queue for Ethiopian Airlines which was a bit long but i was finally attended to, pro tip: make sure you weigh your baggage before leaving home to save yourself from headaches and also in as much as you won’t need a power bank in Canada I’d say you should keep one with you cause it might come in handy at the airport. So my bags were finally weighed and I had an extra baggage of which I was supposed to pay 106k but I eventually paid a total of 60k because my uncle was able to speak to the guy at the counter and within 30 minutes I was done.

Saying goodbye to my family at the immigration was the actually the hardest part of the trip because non travelers were not allowed beyond that point. we all cried and said our goodbyes. I manned up and swallowed my tears while reminding myself I’ll see them pretty soon.

As I had said at the beginning of the story, My departure time was 1pm but we didn’t start boarding till around 2:40 and by 3:00pm we had taken off. This was actually my first time traveling by plane so I was very nervous but then I met a very nice lady who was heading to Malawi turns out she came to study in Nigeria UI to be precise and in my mind I was like who leaves their coin to come study in Nigeria lol. We arrived Addis Ababa by 11pm of which we were supposed to land by 9pm and have a layover of 2 hours before boarding the flight to Toronto but due to the delay in Lagos there was no layover, so it was off the flight from Lagos, down to the flight to Toronto.
Finding the boarding gate wasn't hard, but there were a lot of stops before getting to the boarding gate, like I had to pull off my shoe, open my carry-on like 3 times.
The second leg of the trip was longer like 13 hours or so but I entertained myself with some movies. for me I don’t know about others but the food on the plane was wack I was lucky enough to had snuck in pieces of meat onto the flight, this was what sustained me till we finally arrived safely on Tuesday morning 7:45am Toronto time everyone clapped for the pilot because there was a lot of turbulence of which I though was gonna die lol.
As soon as I came down from the flight I followed the signs and quickly rushed down to arrivals, I already did the arrivecan stuff online before leaving Nigeria but the self decoration machine wasn’t acknowledging my passport so I just had to proceed to one of the officials at the counter and she filled a new declaration form for me. Please obey all the instructions you’re given and kindly ask questions on things you don’t understand.
It was my turn to be attended to, the officer was actual looking beautiful so I told her then she smiled she then proceeds to ask for my international passport, my tuition receipt and she printed out my permit, stamped it and handed it over to me then she wished me goodluck, pro tip: try complimenting the officer it really makes the officer feel more comfortable with you.My cousin was already waiting for me at the arrivals and we were able to get a SIM card for me.

Thank you so much to everyone who had contributed to my journey by relentlessly answering my questions.
I’ll be resuming at centennial college this coming January and also it’s cold in Canada oooo make sure you are prepared.

chai

xterra2:

Buxel:
Hello guys, its Ppr. I received my stamped passport today!!!!!
I have been an active reader on this platform but 1st time posting.

I am a 2nd time applicant.

1st application submitted on 24th April, 2022 and breakfast was served on 15th June, 2022 for financial assets wahala.

Contacted Makano and we worked on GCMS notes which took forever to come (the devil is a liar).
2nd application was submitted on 30th September, 2022.
Truly, what God cannot do, does not exist!

By His grace, I will be resuming for winter class at Northeastern University Vancouver. (My Vancouver folks, where una dey?)

Attached is my timeline for the rest of the story.

please which bank did you applied to UBA or GTBANK

xterra2:
I applied a month before travel, i was given $200 in cash and $3800 which i was able to withdraw when i travelled, maximum of $1,000 a day . so 4 days to withdraw all. for GT it is $3.50 per withdrawal fee and similar to UBA too

Good illustration there

Thomsyne:
Wish you all the best.

PPR - Passport Request: Once your application is approved, the visa office sends you a letter requesting for your passport so they can affix a counterfoil on it.

IRCC - Immigration, Refugees and Citizens Canada: Its like Nigerian Immigration but that of Canada

Webform - This is a form available for you to fill and submit to IRCC based on your request. It could be maybe you have an update to your application you want to send to them, or you want to ask for application status, etc. Think of it like contact form.

IOM - International Organization for Migration: Medical Institute in Lagos and Abuja where you do your medical screening for purpose of immigration. There's also QLife

Nairobi Office - This is IRCC's office based in Nairobi, they are mostly responsible for processing Nigerian Study Visa applications

Upfront Medical - Typically, after you submit your application to IRCC, after some time, they send a request for you to go for medical screening. At this point, finding a close date might not be possible. In addition, it could take some time for your results to get to IRCC and for your application to get finalized. So imagine this extra wait after waiting for months to get an update on your application. Now, upfront medical is pretty much going to do your medical screening even before IRCC requests for it in order to save time.

MP - Member of Parliament: Think of them like House of Rep member in Nigeria. So in cases where an application is taking too long, people contact the MPs within the area of their school to help them get feedback from IRCC. The details might not be lengthy but it more often than not has information that isn't on your application portal. Some postulate that it triggers an action on your file - especially if it's past the standard processing time and I think I agree.

CBSA - Canada Border Services Agency: Pretty much border control but the reason you'll see this here very often is because.... I'll get to that. You can order something called GSMS notes from IRCC. These notes contain detailed information about your application and people use this to travk the progress on their application. Now you can order your notes from CBSA and this typically arrives in 30 days standard. It contains pretty much the same thing you'll get from IRCC. The GCMS notes ordered from IRCC takes like 30-300 days now. Even that 30 days no sure.

MBA - Masters of Business Administration

that was nice

Hello People
In the spirit of giving back here is my POE experience

I chose to travel through newyork because I learnt it’s one of the easiest POEs.

I left for New York about 2 months ago and right from Abuja everything went smoothly

Check in was very easy for me, after that I passed passport control without being sent to ports health. It’s like none of the officials noticed I was even pregnant because I had a very small belly even at 36weeks

Boarded Turkish airlines, arrived in Istanbul and I had a 5 hour transit. Before boarding my plane to New York, there was a thorough check at the boarding gate for everyone. It was still like a breeze for me. Apparently the thorough check is part of US immigration because they checked all our documents.

Arrived at New York in the evening and I barely spent 2 minutes at CBP.

The officer asked me why I’m in the US and I simply said for tourism and to have my baby. She was even shocked because she stood up to check my belly. And she was like you don’t even look pregnant and she smiled.

Then she asked if I had the funds to cover everything I said yes… so she stamped me in for 6 months.

No secondary inspection.

wow reallyy

Humblegentlebee:
Well my cousin's friend did my dad's appointment. He had his appointment in Abuja in October but embassy cancelled because of that terrorist threat, so he got my dad another appointment immediately in Lagos.
