I am not a pro on this matter but I did a little research on it. So for those asking if you can use one-way ticket for PTA, please read this from Sterling Bank's website.

And please, if you have first hand information on this, do well to share.

gracedson:

Sorry to hear. Please refire. All the best.

Please I will like to know if Enrolment letter is required to travel from lagos, especially if the time for Enrolment is yet to start for your school. I've heard some people say they were asked for acceptance letter, others Enrolment letter and others both. If you have any information, please share.

My people, please is there a group for Centennial College students and aspirants? I ask because I'm sure we are in numbers on this forum.

Present sir, same here, pspt used literally 4days to travel and return, quite fast.

Mine took exactly a week with DHL

Aijay26:
please when you sent it via dhl, will VFS send it back to you through dhl ? How will dhl send it to me please

You'd give the DHL attendant a return address where it should be returned to. That is if you're paying for two way courier

I have 10k CAD in my GIC and my brother is my sponsor. moreover, Since I have an account in my name iin Canada through my G.I.C, I am thinking of approaching my bank for living expenses for my schooling once I am enrolled. If am not successful I will just use the money I have to pay my school fees using form A.My brother is in Canada and so in addition to my G.I.C I may be covered. I wont be traveling with more than 1k or even 500USD .my proof of funds at port of entry is my G.I.C and tuition payment plus my brother's letter of support

Oh I see. That makes a lot of sense. All the best then.

Jay316:
my brothers .I went to Ethipian airline office at airport and now they referred me back to their office in V.I.I am presently at Ethiopian airline office in V.I waiting my turn meanwhile my boss in on my neck cos I went AWOL.God help me.I only told them I will report late to work due to personal emergency and today is last working day of the month and I need to b at work cos we have to pay the staff today and I am part of those responsible, indirectly. I am sweating under A.C here.wen I get to work,I will have to explain what the personal emergency is.this is online booking went wrong

Plus bro, don't you want PTA ni That small 4k dollars will go a long way to save you money. Instead of changing all your naira with aboki. Maybe this delay is so you can book a return ticket by Monday and by then this issue would have been resolved, you pay the balance and they issue your ticket. Think am o!
Just know your money cannot go untraced sha.

Lmaooo broo.
Have you reported to your (own) bank that receiver is claiming non receipt of funds?? If not, call your bank while you wait and report that. If there were any issues from NIBSS, that would be resolved and this office people can help you. Because, if truly they didn't receive the money, nothing the airline can do about it.
I'd keep you in prayers.

Stamped passport returned safe and sound. That one too na prayer point.

It could only have been God. And now my watch is over. Until landing gist.

ANNOUNCEMENT ! ANNOUNCEMENT!
The eagle has landed!
Study permit approval and in possession announcement.
We thank God for giving us this visa. He gave us the knowledge to navigate through the maze of Canada study permit application. He will not share his glory with anybody. I say this because we tried using Immigration Lawyer from Canada but the conditions in their letter was not palatable to us. We also tried using a consultant in Nigeria, even paid consultancy fees. At the end we were discouraged and went in on our own. I also felt I could give the application a personal touch. I am my spouse put head together to draft the LOE. God used some nice people in this forum to answer our questions.

Main applicant is my spouse.
Applied for Visitor visa for our 18month child. Our child’s visa is not yet out but we are believing in God. I heard that all those that applied for Visitor visa before August are advised to reapply.

Travel history

My opinion,
It is God that will decide if it will turn out positive or not because He sees the future. The race is not to the swift or the smartest. The documents we submitted are basic but it was meant to be.
Just as our faces are different, the same way our application will be different. Copy and paste doesn’t work in this case.

Congratulations to you and yours.

Jay316:
thanks bro.it was the same reason I avoided city bank since it's not Nigerian so that it will be easily sorted out cos if I have issues with City bank, where will I go to?


but on d contrary it was d better option I guess

Yes it was. Citi bank is very efficient. I see my own Zenith there and looked away. Please update me on how it goes today. All the best.

Jay316:
ok.I called the number but he said they have not been able to verify the money paid through their access bank b4 it expired cos apparently ur booking expired after 24 hrs. I will go to access bank tomorrow to get proove of payment and also the ticketing office

Haaa! That's why avoided all the naija banks and I sent to CITI bank and mine was seamless.

I hope you sought it out soonest.

Jay316:
the name of the account is Ethiopian airline .I will go to their ticket office tomorrow

You don't have to. Callvthe number I gave you by past 9am tomorrow, you'd be attended to.

Landing gist

Day of Travel - 30th Sept
Arrival Day - 1st Sept
Flight name - Royal Dutch Airlines (Lufthanza)
Stops - Lagos -> Amsterdam -> Ontario

I arrived at the Lagos airport at 5pm against my flight of 10:45pm, none of my bags were checked because my cousin knew some of the airport officials (note that i was carrying a lot of food stuffs), i weighed my 2 luggages which were approved. I was asked for all my travel Documents, School Documents, ArriveCAN receipt and COVID19 test result. I also had to fill one yellow card stuff with my details and submit to them. After all this brouhaha, I proceeded to my Flight gate, where i waited till my flight time.

The flight from Lagos to Amsterdam was approximately 12hrs or so (can't remember), we landed in Amsterdam where i proceeded to my next gate after series of checks from airport officials. Omoh, the Wi-Fi at this airport fast die, its free and you have Unlimited usuage.

We left for Canada after 3 hrs, omoh all their food tire me. I arrived at Canada around 12pm Canadian Time (5 hour behind Nigeria), did some checks after which we proceeded to immigration officers for our official study permits. After which we went to get our luggages (these guys manhandled alot of luggages, i could not even recognize one of my luggages after passing by it 15 times).
(This part is for unvaccinated travelers)
We proceeded for the Covid19 tests (register at Switchhealth.ca to avoid the long queue). After this, you would be handed the Day 8 home test kit. Then you're free to go to your choice of quarantine.

You can change dollars to CAD at the airport when you land, just don't change everything on you cos their rates are high compared to banks.

Note;
1) Please if you can get your Covid19 shots in Nigeria before coming over, DO IT! To avoid stress.
2) Register for your SIN immediately you get your study Permit, because you will need this number if you want to work.

Throw me with your Questions, if it's something i can handle, I'd let you know. Good luck on your PPR journey!

Thank you for sharing. I discarded that Airline after a testament of their meals.

May Canada favour you and us all.

lilylurv:
OMG! Thanks so much for your willingness to help.

May the land favour us all iJN

Amen!!!

Congratulations Lily. You deserve it.

CalcreteJB:
considering that they have treated your passport. What will sending through webform mean now? Will they recall the passport or it will aid renewal when by next year May when this issued one expires.

I already have the new LOA but I didn't just upload, should I upload now because my passport has also been treated.

I really do not know for certain, but I'm sending mine so at least they have a record of it. Just incase.

Didn't send my LOA because I hadn't and still haven't received it from the school.

CalcreteJB:
Which means, one has to print along the new LOA, I fall into the same category here, mine though will expire by November ending 2022 and I deferred to January 2022 from Sept 2021

Yes, I plan to send my via webform once I receive it from my school so I don't have issueson arrival in CA. For some reason, its been taking ages to be sent.

Queen6996:
So if your Visa expired during your time of studies. Will that affect you or can it be extended

I believe the study permit that would be issued at the point of entry will be updated to my new acceptance letter. And study permits can be extended too.

EstherAda92:
Please pardon me, I didn't get you correctly with d 2nd paragraph can you rephrase. I nor too go school na Engineer I be�

Lol. So I applied for a study permit in December, 2020 using an acceptance letter from my school for May 2021 intake. My Application took 10months to be completed and I never sent my deferred acceptance letter to IRCC, hence they worked with what they had (May 2021) making the counterfoil on my page to expire a year after the start date on my acceptance letter. My course is a one year course.

Hope this helps.

Jay316:
please share the link please.i need it ASAP .also which date did u book?

I booked directly from Ethiopian Airlines site. Departure date is 18th December. 2 stopovers but one is just for refuelling. The other is a 2 hour stop at Addis Ababa.

makano:
Hello Esther

1. You can actually get your Visa stamped without submitting the biometrics slip , you just have to submit other documents that they require..

Kemmyk, you can see why I earlier posted that you should tell the house how you got your passport stamped without Bimotrics slip, cos I know many people will still ask this question...

2. Your Visa expires a year after it has been stamped on your PASSPORT.. And your Passport hasn't been stamped yet, and this is October, meaning you are safe..

You would have left Nigeria before it expires Next Year OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER depending on when your Passport will be stamped...

Peace

On this, I'd like to say that. If you didn't provide an updated acceptance letter from your school, IRCC would make your visa valid till the last month of your study.

I'll use my application as an example. I applied with May 2021 acceptance letter and never updated it. My counterfoil has a May 2022 expiry date.

Jay316:
e b like say I go join steward ooo.prices are above 600k

Shouldn't be. Different dates with different prices. Got a return ticket for 529,000 or there about on Ethiopian Airlines.
I first booked one way and I got that for 325,000 or so before I changed my mind due to PTA requirements.

Counterfoil!

God is great!!!
