I stutter too. I the time I went for a job interview. I wrote on a paper that I stuttered and that I'll love to write my answers on a paper. The interviewer smiled and said I should just talk to her and gist with her. I did but I still stuttered . I got the job but I left after I was overworked and couldn't cope with constant headaches everyday. No man is perfect. With the stuttering sef I was elected class governor in the university without me campaigning I sha know it'll go soon. I believe that
May her soul RIP

Amen. I'm trusting God for mine as well.

Please if I may ask, what is the yellow card?

Good evening...

The yellow card is a certificate of vaccination to show that travelers have been immunized against yellow fever.

Apparently we DO NOT need to to travel...

Genyc:
1. You do not need any yellow card except the small one that will be given to you at the check in counter of your airline FREE of charge to fill in your info.
Pls ignore any Agbero trying to sell you any card and don’t believe any propaganda they may come with.
2. Your plan is okay

Okay...Thank you @Genyc

I appreciate you

JustMellow:


Hello Toluchenko,

Both yellow card and presenting the financial record at the POE is not mandatory. You can verbally have a constructive discussion in this regard "if" asked. Not all CBSA officers will ask for the financial record or fees receipt payment.

However, if they are available, go with it either in printed or digital copies.

Best of Luck

Thank you so much @JustMellow

My brother’s Landing gist
His program starts Sept 7th
He traveled Aug 2nd (4 weeks and 5days)

He Got to MMA, they asked him for:
Enrolment letter
Acceptance letter
Covid test
Authorization letter
ArriveCan receipt
3 days Hotel reservation
Which he provided.
The airline staff (Turkish airlines) verified the documents, and said he was okay to board.

He arrived Toronto airport; officer asked for his acceptance letter and letter of introduction.
And issued him study permit. He spent over 2hours at immigration because there was a long queue (so be prepared)
After immigration, he went to claim his baggage.
After that, he went to do covid test, spent over an hour lol.
I was outside waiting for him though.
When he came out, I drove him to the hotel for quarantine; made him some food to sustain him for the 3 days, because I’m pretty sure he won’t like them oyibo meals as a first timer Lol.
Everything went smooth and I thank God for a safe trip.
Wishing everyone coming this fall Safe travels.

Good morning...Please what's this Authorization Letter?? Is it a compulsory doc to have??

If yes, Can you explain where/how one can get it??

So I arrived at MMA, all those serious looking bag boys carried my luggage, I think say them be better people until they told me I needed to buy yellow card 6 thousand naira that without the yellow card, I won’t be allowed to board or immigration will charge me 200 dollar, well I quickly made it clear to them that I came to the airport with no money atall not even dollar….I nor get money to waste.

Flight was by 11pm check-in started by 4PM they asked for my
Enrolment letter
Acceptance letter
School fees receipt


The airline staff (KLM) verified the documents, Omo one fyn woman..I nor just understand just squeeze face Dey say 3 weeks to resumption…Omo I being 1 faint …after snapping those documents I mentioned earlier, I was asked to bring my covid test result…then I realize I’m good to go ����

If you are traveling..buy snacks or anything put for your bag….hunger almost kill me.

So when I arrived Toronto airport; officer asked me if I have been accepted by the school I’m going to, I said yes, and he said if I have proof I told him yes and should him my acceptance letter.
He was observing the letter then I gave him my letter of introduction without him asking
Then he ask if I have paid my fee .. I told him yes and gave him my receipt…he observe the receipt and he said …oboy your ission letter say 15k then why did you pay 3k …..I just smile and said ….we are allowed to pay per the courses you are offering and I will be offering only 3 courses that’s why I paid 3k …..he just node head
So I told him I have my covid result…he asked me to bring it.
Then he started asking me some questions, Omo …I think the officer was looking at my file and asking me questions from there. I realize that when he called the name of my sponsor . And asked about his job. I told him every every.
So he ask if I have proof of funds….I told him my sponsor refused to give me (I forget to carry o)
Then final question..what will you be doing till your school resume….I told him quarantine
So he printed my study permit Nd SiN stuf …..Nd started advising me that I can work for 20 hours then holiday time, I can work for 40 hours….and I can go back to Nigeria for visiting (I just shake my head for my mind).
So that’s all….then I was walking down to the next part I started hearing…hello sir, hello sir , hello sir…..I didn’t bother looking back ….I nor believe say immigration officer go Dey call me sir….I finally looked back, it was d officer and he gave me one of my print out that I forgot with him ……


So I went to claim my baggage.
After that, I went to do covid test, then after that …went to one t to wait for my shuttle to my hotel. Nice hotel nice view, Everything went smooth and I thank God for a safe trip.
Wishing everyone coming this fall Safe travels.

Good evening Bro

Pls I have two questions;

1) This yellow card parole. The stuff no compulsory abi??

2) For Proof of Funds, can I show the Border guys my sponsor's statement of ? Or must the funds be in my ?? I plan to tell them that the reason why the funds is still in my Sponsor's is that my sponsor is waiting for me to open a Canadian so he could transfer the funds into it.

Thanks.

Please anyone that has the answer(s) to the question(s) can reply abeg

Pee2Jay9:
If you're ever going to quarantine, it has to be in school. UoR made it compulsory, so book with hospitality service to pay on arrival, if need be. Safe journey down here.. Cheers

Wow

Thank you PeeJay...Grateful

cheers!

Royalty95:



Which province are you travelling to?
You can book on hold.

Saskatchewan

Hello everyone. Please I need some clarifications on this quarantine parole.

I have been able to link up with some family friends that stay around my school (in Saskatchewan), so I plan to stay with them for some weeks till I settle fully and find my apartment.

Now, I have been fully vaccinated and I recently heard that fully vaccinated individuals will still have to show their quarantine plans in case they are not exempted (from quarantine) by the officials at the Point of Entry.

My questions;

1) Will my Family friends' house be a suitable place for quarantine?

2) If No to (1), what if I get a quarantine apartment and I eventually get exempted from quarantine at the Point of Entry. Hope getting a refund would not be difficult?

3) Please, can someone put me through the process of getting an apartment for the 14 days quarantine.

Thank you..

Hello everyone. I am new to this thread. I "ported" from the Canada Study Visa Thread. I need some clarifications on this quarantine parole.

I recently got my application for study visa approved (Fall 2021; University of Regina, Saskatchewan). I have been able to link up with family friends that stay around my school, so I plan to stay with them for some months till I settle fully and find my apartment.

Now, I have been fully vaccinated and I recently heard that fully vaccinated individuals will still have to show their quarantine plans in case they are not exempted (from quarantine) by the officials at the Point of Entry.

My questions;

1) Will my Family friends' house be a suitable place for quarantine?

2) If No to (1), what if I get a quarantine apartment and I eventually get exempted from quarantine at the Point of Entry. Hope getting a refund would not be difficult?

3) Please, can someone put me through the process getting an apartment for the 14 days quarantine.

My people...good evening...

Mehn NSE has put things on hold o...I'm waiting till the one-month window closes shaar (Dec. 25)

So, I have a question and I'll appreciate your opinions.

My lectures are starting January 11. Considering the little time left and the stage my Visa application is in, I will most likely have to opt for online classes (that is, observe the winter semester remotely), then when the Visa drops I'll continue the online classes in Canada for the first semester.

Now, the AIP (September) season where people were given AIPs due to the international flight restrictions. The AIP was used to begin online classes. Now that there are no flight restrictions and AIPs are not being issued again, what will I have to tender to begin the Winter semester remotely??

Please I need your opinions.

From yaba, enter obalende, from obalende enter lekki/ajah bus, tell them you want to stop at the third roundabout. Cross to the other side and ask for VFS office building. Good luck

Okay...Thanks a lot

Hello guys...Good evening

Pls I need the description to Canada Visa Application Centre, Lagos Manor Hall, Plot 110, iral Ayinla Way, Opposite Treasure Garden Estate, Third Roundabout, Lekki Phase I, Lagos. from YABA

I am going for my Biometrics this week.

Frankrobbn1:



ROOM AND BOARD means your Living Expenses and it should be filled as 10,000KCAD. Whilst, OTHERS are your miscellaneous expenses and flight itinerary. I advice prospective applicants to fill the OTHERS with 3KCAD or 4KCAD.


I hope this information helps.


It will end in praise

Amen!

Alright thanks brother.

Frankrobbn1:



Funds available for your stay, is the amount that will be readily available and accessible by you during the course of your studies. Following this, you can't use the worth of a landed property in Nigeria or the entire funds in your Sponsor's for this purpose. It is totally irrational for a sponsor to give you the whole money in his/her for your abroad education.


It will end in praise.

Amen...thanks Frank

Another question pls...

On the IMM form; Room and Board = Living Expense abii??

If yes, then Pls what does the OTHERS box cover ??

Good morning guys. Pls I need ur advise as regards the FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR MY STAY box on the IMM form.

Can I add the worth of my sponsor's landed property to the FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR MY STAY box or should I ONLY use the funds that are in his

Thanks

LordAA:

I used the rate on 2nd October which was #287 to a CAD dollar and I quoted same in my SOP


All the best

Alright..thanks a lot..

silvamania:
Happy Sunday ,

I just submitted my applications online now
When are they likely to send me biometric letters cause have already booked biometrics in advance for Tuesday

I don’t want to waste that opportunity

Thank you

Hello...congrats in advance...May it be successful by God's grace.

Pls How did you pay for ur 235CAD (application + Biometric fees) ?? Was it through your naira debit card or what??

Also, which conversion rate did you use to calculate the naira equivalent of ur fees (tuition, living expenses e.t.c) ??

Hello everyone. Happy weekend to all

I am about to submit my application and pay the 235 CAD (study permit + Biometrics fees). I need a guide on how u guys paid urs. Cause I heard that most nigerian banks allow their customers do 100 USD (about 135 CAD) maximum per month for international transactions using naira debit cards (I stand to be corrected though).

Pls which route did u guys use in paying the 235CAD.

Hello my people. Good afternoon

Pls I have a question...

I am seeing some instances here where the sponsor transfers the funds into the applicants .

Is it compulsory for my sponsor (elder brother) to transfer the funds into my ? Can't I just present the Statement of of my sponsor in my applications?

Fgmp12:

Take your time and do some research.
It will sure end in praise certainly.
All the bestest bro.

Thanks brother...

eightyeight:
oil is too much? The oil sector all around the world is in a downturn right now and oil companies are downsizing. That story won't work.

Yeah...I agree. Writing that oil is "too much" might not work...I'll find a way of giving a more convincing statement...thanks a lot guys..

Also, I was quite happy when I read that I can do medicals on weekends (cause skipping work is not easy for me)...but does this apply to the Biometrics process too. Like, can I do my Biometrics on a Saturday too??

Fgmp12:

Yes your family can serve has good home ties but you need to explain to the VO why you would want to come back to them after your studies in Canada.
Just be emotional and make the VO feel for you and reason with all your points.
What course are you going for?
Does your course have a good job prospect here in Nigeria?
All the bestest Sir/Ma’

Mehn bro...I have been thinking of the story I will tell on why I would want to return to my family, I just dey blank. I am still trying to rack my brain though.

I am going for Chemical Engineering (MSc). Would me putting something like "the oil industry of Nigeria is not fully developed at the moment and I would love to use the knowledge acquired to solve the problems" be enough as home ties??

Anyone with ideas please...
