You guys are so lucky in Toronto, come to saskatchewan it's a different story entirely, cold wan kill my enemy. Am going for my driving test tomorrow.
hoodboy:
So been about 6 days since I left the quarantine facility, after staying for 14 days. I'm learning the ropes small small, in Toronto for the now but by January will go to Saskatchewan for school.

Luckily I have people here that are helping me settle in well, started driving about 3 days ago with company, but today went out by myself to run errands and also get my SIN.

Will use public transit tomorrow though, because motor no dey where I dey go school so the earlier I learn the system the better, make man no go loss for -20degrees.

Weather has been lovely, though I find inside the apartment kinda hot due to the heating, I dey open window sef for night make natural AC dey enter room.

So far it's been a wonderful experience, want to see if I can land small holiday gig tomorrow, found a listing on kijiji most of the employment agencies are closed till new year. Hoping to work out small pocket money before I go to school.

Wishing every hopeful person here a positive result in their application, God bless us all.

Compliments of the season

PPR ALERT.................
Everybody help me to shout hallelujah to Jesus, the King of kings and the Lord of lords...................... Eledumare, Alpha & Omega, the great mighty king, the God that can never fail...
I got a mail early this morning by 4:16am............ and behold it was PPR........... I started Ph.D program fall term remotely.
21 weeks and 3 days of waiting, he finally gave me a new song............ Indeed what God cannot do does not exist my people..
I contacted an MP in October and the response I got was that my application was complex, it needed additional review. God proved himself as the only one that can do it, not by the documents I submitted, but the divine mercy he showed unto me.
For everyone waiting, God will give you songs of praise as he did for me...
I am awaiting my son's approval, as I trust God for divine perfection.
Thank you to everyone on this platform, you are indeed a pleasant people..............

I was in cotonou to renew my international passport, I was able to pass legally with just giving the border officials like 5k in total excluding leaving. Because I had a new passport I had to pay about 10k.
Romoke1995:
Good day everyone ... please I have some questions concerning Cotonou border ... as some of us know that at the border we have Nigeria check point and Cotonou check point . My question now is that are we to get both stamp on our passport or we getting only Cotonou stamp alone .. because I schooled there and basically that’s how it runs over there ... I just want to be sure which stamp we getting

Apologies to all nairalanders for what I'm about to say, but it's needed.

Nairaland1981, you must be mad for dropping such on this platform cos I'm so sure you just decided to utter the thrash in the bin that you call a mouth. Don't you know such statement can cause a lot of havoc on students here.

Its impossible for any country to ban another country cos of their passport. Such would lead to a political war and I'm sure the world wouldn't want that right now.

Learn to verify info before dropping it on a social media platform such as this.

I love Nigerians and am super proud of you bro! Come and see resilience! God you are so gooood! Congratulations bro
freemanj:
Let me start by saying thank you to every one on Nairaland especially the gurus who give out free information without asking for a dime, you guys are great and you will all prosper

To this Omicron virus I got two words for it 'Your papa', you can not stop we Nigerians no matter what, we are born fighter, we soldier through everything so you got nothing on us, this travel ban phase will pass and we shall enter Canada by God's grace.

A few background story,
I am one of the Methuselahs on Nairaland, joined since 2006, yes 2006 and was a great contributor to the Free Browsing Tricks (that was the most active thread those years) and left the day the thread was taken down, I was really heartbroken.
I came back partly in 2011 to help people with some few ways on how to unlock paid phone applications for free and got banned and some of my thread locked so I had to open a new account and stayed in the background

Back to the Canada waka, after the endears saga, I knew I was done with Naija and I started looking for how to look for a 'better' country, hence my return to Nairaland
to source valid information and I was not disappointed.

I submitted my application on September 1, 2021.
Did my biometrics September 7.
I did upfront medicals even before I submitted my application, started medical Aug 17 at IOM, got a mail for additional Xray view Aug 27, I thought that was all, only for me to get a mail for additional information, I was told I have to come for sputum test at 7am for 3 consecutive days at IOM Ikeja and I reside in Ajah, so I had to transfer to Q-life,
I paid extra 60k for sputum test and was told they need to culture for 10weeks, it was at this point I almost gave up but na Buhari dey motivate me Ajeh.

Going to Q-life for 3days consecutively for sputum test was not enjoyable for me at all especially for the fact that it is a supervised test, they will watch spit into a test tube until it gets to about 5-10ml, after 10weeks, I had to pay and do another X-ray at Q-life which was sent with the result of my sputum test.

Medical updated to pass Nov 25, come and see celebration when I finally passed my medicals you will think that my study permit just got approved.

Got one ghost update, then Dec 2, I was in the office when I saw the mail, come and see 'tough' man like me shaking inside AC, ran to the toilet to check the mail and login, my heart was racing, hand shaking and bracing myself in case the news was not favourable and then I saw the PPR news, small tears of joy dropped because medicals show me pepper.

I want to thank everyone for all your support.

I have read every contributions and comments from part 17, 18, 19 and this 20. After I submitted my application, I realised I didn't do justice to my lump sum, so I raised a webform, entered Frankrobbn 1 mode with a touch of Makano methodology and a sprinkle of Ketima FBI skills and created a believable story about it and reattached documents to back it up.

I raised a total of 4 different webforms at different times to update my information based on what I read here.

One day soon, I will do a story on my sputum test experience and what to expect.

P.S: Pls pardon my typos and poor composition, I am too excited to type a well composed story, I am just typing as it comes, maybe I will do a better one when I am calmer

Am the only African in my class, we are 25 in the class
TheLee:

You should learn empathy.
The fact that you are ‘logical’ is not mutually exclusive to empathy which you haven’t shown. Emotions are high, people are devastated.
You’re putting your application in, don’t you think you’d be affected. Picture this, Africans are not that significant number of intl student and as it is, only a fraction of the continent is banned you think schools will modify their instruction mode just to suit the discomfort of less than 10% of their classes.
You must think that we are that indispensable. Even Indians with the high pop of intl enrollment in Canada when they were banned had to find a way, no one moved mountains for them.
Be empathic. You can be logical and realistic yet empathic.
It’s not one or the other. All the best in your application. You would need it

Relax you will get it... When dhl get it from vfs they will send you a mail.
mokikeoj:
Hello everyone, pls i need help on how to escalate this issue. I received an email last week Friday that my decision envelope was ready for collection and would be sent via courier. I tried tracking it on vfs website and they said it had been given to the courier. However i tried tracking via dhl and saw that they had not received it. Yesterday i had a chat with vfs and they told me it was still with them, that i should call dhl to come and pick it up. I found this weird but i called dhl and they said they go there everyday to pick passports so if they dont have mine, it means they were not given. I had a chat with vfs today and they are still saying i should call dhl to come and pick the paasport, that DHL did not come there yesterday and they have not seen them today. Pls note i paid for 2 way courier. Please how else can i escalate this.

Honestly I don't think this is a good idea... Personally I hate things that will make people doubt my honesty and delay me. Remember the have all your information. The immigration officer I meant was a black woman and she was very mean. But you can try as everyone is different.
gregoma:

Thanks for the information, our plan is for her to arrive and Ontario get registered and sort out all her documentation with the school, at the commencement of classes she can then relocate to Saskatchewan. I await responses on the possible implications of a change of course before travelling and how it might affect her chances of getting the study permit at the border.

I don't think you are correct. I got to Regina saskatchewan from Nigeria and I wasn't asked about anything.
Akannitommy:
Hi,

Congrats. Whatever you decide to do make sure your wife arrive in Ontario or another international airport close by (like Montreal for instance). I have heard of students who arrived in airports far away from their location and then got sent back and their visas cancelled. This was a long time ago and got the story from someone who arrived with them at the same time. So that part of staying with your sister is not impossible but don't risk her going straight to Saskatchewan from Nigeria.

I don't know much about the second question but am sure someone else with know and respond.
