Zita86:
Please how about Ethiopian baggage requirements, how is it like? On their site the specified box for free luggage is almost as small as the hand luggage. I intend using a duffel bag as it is lighter and contains more. Will I have any problems checking in my luggage?

You can use a duffel bag provided it doesn't exceed the weight requirement

AskGod07:
Yeah I’m running to their office tomorrow, I have already exchanged my Naira to dollar today.

Tenderjunkie I saw one of your post that you use your uba dollar account to make the pay on Lufthansa?

Yes, I did

AskGod07:
Here is the itinerary

This is really cheap

Ayobamiaz:
It’s only one European country which is Brussels…so from there straight to Montreal Canada

Ohh. Since it's only one country in Europe, then no transit visa required

Ayobamiaz:
Please what do you think about this ….does this need a transit visa ? I mean does Belgium requires visa ?

Did you read my previous answers?
This flight has 3 stops. 2 of them are in Europe. That should give you your answer

Cannyboy:
pls really needed help On this pls.

Fulani14:
Thank you so much
My tuition for first semester is close to 6M, the tuition deposit for college is there too,i am trying to avoid paying the first semester fees.
Also please is there any college that doesnt require high tuition deposit and does not insis2we pay the rest of the tuition on the day of resumption?,please help me.

Only cheap colleges in Canada I know of are NBCC, NSCC, and Holland college.
But I don't think those are currently admitting international students. I thought university of Manitoba was quite cheap. How much is your entire first semester tuition (deposit included) in CAD?

Princeofabia:
yes..exactly...Do I need transit visa?

I can't say with certainty, but I want to believe as long as you'll be stepping out of the airport completely, you might need a transit visa

Gentlesoul3268:
Can I book one-way flight as a student?

Definitely!

Ayobamiaz:
Please do I need a transit visa for this …

But I've answered you already.

This flight has a stop in the USA, so you'll need a transit visa.

Let me give you a tip for booking.
Go to wakanow
Search by the date you intend to travel.
The only flight you should consider that has more than 1 stop is Ethiopian airways
Filter by number of stops (1 stop)
Filter by Ethiopian (cos of adis ababa and Dublin stops)
Compare prices
Play around with the date to see if you can get cheaper options.
Also, you might want to play around with the departure locations i.e Lagos, Abuja etc. Some airlines like Lufthansa are slightly cheaper when departing from Abuja
When you find a price and flight that suits you, go to their website directly.
You may be required to pay in dollars
You can use a dollar card, a virtual dollar card, or ask a friend abroad to pay for you
If you can't pay in dollars, kuku go back to wakanow and pay in naira (slightly higher)

Ayobamiaz:
So which is the best airline to go with that doesn’t need a transit visa

There are lots of airlines that don't require transit visa depending on the route.

It's best to watch out for the routes.

For example, Egyptair can have flights going to Canada but have different layovers.

You can check KLM, Ethiopia, Egyptair, Lufthansa, British Airways, there's one that stops at Paris I can't remember the name.

Ethiopian airways can have 2 stops (Adis Ababa and Ireland) but provided only one European country is involved, it's fine

Princeofabia:
What..if I will be changing my airport in Germany...will I need a transit visa?

It's a 1 stop over...but I will need to change my airport.

Changing airport asin leaving Frankfurt airport and going to Munich airport for example?

Ayobamiaz:
To anyone traveling and have booked his/her ticket abeg which is the cheapest and the best airline to go with ..I will be going to Toronto…am seeing Egypt air for 1.4 million passing through New York (will I need a visa )

You'll need transit visa if it has layover in the USA

You'll need transit visa if it also has more than one layover in Europe.

OkoyeAka:
Okay, have you use it to make payment or you have seen anyone who used it? Because am checking their site now it is similar to chippers, it is more of sending money to F&F. pls kindly give more details about it

Yeah you can use it to make fees payment.
Download their app, go to pay bills, select your institution. In the place of account number, use your student number.

You'll have to be fully verified tho

OkoyeAka:
Good evening everyone, does people going to conestoga college or if you have paid tuition how did you pay without using flywire, their rate is too high pls any suggestion, Thanks asking for a friend, although it will also help me because I didn't pay any tuition fee to University of Calgary since it was unconditional admission.

You can use Africhange.
Cheaper than flywire.

Ikay3502:
Ok @tenderjunkie.. so how much should I budget for it??.. I sent u a msg on your email doh

There's no email. Resend!

For a private room, budget between 600 to 700

Ikay3502:
Hello @Tenderjunkie I'm also interested in any shared apartment in Doon from September, my Budget is 450-500Cad

450 - 500 will mostly give you a shared room. Not that it's impossible to get a private room with that budget, it'll take a lot of searching

Army2022:
Hello good people, please do anyone have a room or shared apartment for rent in Kitchener, close to Doon Campus? (I am single)
If yes, please can you also state the amount here🙏.
I've already checked Kijiji. I hope to get something cheaper , plus I would prefer a fellow Nigerian as a roommate or flat mate.

What's your budget?

Kinggame1:
The police character clearance. Please how much does it cost to get it here in ibadan.

You can apply online. The price is 30k.
Then go to their office for capturing.

That way you'll avoid heavy billing.

Going to their office to book directly, they'll bill you heavily. Going only for capturing, they'll still want to extort you but you can beat it down and give them 3 to 5k

JMG12:
If the agent is refusing to bend to him. Let him get a new passport then submit it for stamping, he should initiate the linking of the portal as directed. Cut the agent off, but make sure the new passport get to the ircc before the due date. Let him start all process immediately and send pic to the agent when he arrive in Canada.

Thanks.
He doesn't want the visitor visa again.
He'll get a new password incase his job offer comes through so he can apply for work visa himself

Bobomaigida:
Why are they having issues, didn't they have an agreement of what each party is to do? It looks as if there was not plan. Since there is a dispute, he can involve the police to possibly help with resolution, lon and short is that he will spend money, but not up to that N3.5mm

They had agreement for a work visa which clearly the agent failed to deliver. When the PPR came for the VV, agent called my friend threatening that if he doesn't send his passport he'll get blacklisted.
My friend never had any agreement with the agent for a visitor visa, only work visa.
All means of negotiating with the agent to bring down the price have failed

zubizareta:
Why is his agent with his passport? Did he get any passport submission request??

Yes, he did.
The agent has actually shown him a video of the passport and stamped visa

zubizareta:
Does he have the UCI number? If yes, I think he should just open a new portal acct, fill the immigration forms with his former UCI number and the portal will be automatically linked with the previous portal with regards to not having to do another biometrics. What I am not sure of is if the new portal will display previous history of applications

So I just spoke to him. He has the UCI number.

Unfortunately, he sent his passport to the agent to have his visitor visa stamped.
Agent is demanding for 3.5m to be paid in full before releasing the passport or they'll ensure he gets a ban.

I advised him to get a police report stating his passport is missing. That way, he can send a webform to IRCC stating his current IRCC account has been compromised and tender the police report. That should mitigate any plan the agent has in getting him banned.

Then, he can apply for a new passport and start the new visa application process afresh.

Your thoughts please...

Bobomaigida:
There is way to link applications, but you need the exact details of the present one in process.

Please check google and the IRCC link below
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account/link-paper-online.html

Thank you.
He has no details of the current one.
He'll have to appease the agent las las

tenderjunkie:
A friend of mine used an agent to apply for a visitor visa. However there was a fallout with the agent.

Now he's interviewing for some sponsored jobs and the chances of getting an offer is very likely.

He wants to have access to his portal but it is unlikely the agent will release the details.

Can he create a new account and ask IRCC to link it to the old one?

If not, what are his options?

Help needed

Remain blessed. Please is it same thing with family pictures?

Yeah.
When using smallpdf, don't use the traditional 'merge pdf'. Go to the 'Documents' tab and play around with it. You'll be amazed at the wonders it can do for you

MumiOlivia:
Please house, for my pictures and chats with my sponsor, how can i merge everything together and upload? Please help out.

AskGod07:
Let him persuade his agent and explaining the new dimension about his sponsorship jobs, if I were him I don’t mind dashing the AGENT money if he don’t understand my plight.

Agent is demanding for 2.5M
