I did a covid test in Nigeria … officials at Murtala international airport asked for it. I did not undergo any yellow fever test. I did another covid test in The Gambia because to travel to Canada, test result from a 3rd country is required. Test results from Nigeria are unacceptable. Shina2: Please did you do a covid test before going to gambia and did you also do yellow fever test. Lastly were you test when you got to gambia? 2 Likes 1 Share |

sparkletoy: No one is forcing anyone to leave immediately. It's your choice if you decide to stay in a 3rd country for 2 weeks and how do you know the information is false since you don't know anyone who has arrived? IRCC has always said. Even when there was a total lockdown, foreign nationals still came to Canada. My post was not to mislead anyone but to encourage. More testimonials of students arriving would still emerge then you will blame yourself for staying in a 3rd country for 14 days after spending all your POF. Be smart and be wise.

BaaleofMontreal: This information is false.
Please if you're an international student coming from Nigeria, please stay in countries you go to first for minimum of 2 weeks before heading to Canada. It is explicitly stated by IRCC that only people that have not lived in one of banned countries for that last 14 days would be allowed in.

You can present any correspondence from your school stating that you don’t have to pay tuition. If you’re on scholarship, that can suffice too. gascoigne462: Please what happens if you did not have to make tuition payment before getting visa approval or made tuition deposit and not the whole amount before getting visa. What will you show when they ask for proof of tuition payment?

Congratulations! I rejoice with you. hoodboy: Landing Gist
So I booked British Airways flight for 30th of November. I had booked it since September, do the booking at MMIA so I paid in Naira at official rate.
Flight was for 11:45pm but I got to the airport around 4pm keeping with the advice given here to always arrive early.
First wahala was at the scanning machine at the entrance, they found my palm oil and said to take it out, that it won’t fly on BA, I didn’t argue I dropped it because I still had two more, which unfortunately ended up being trashed by BA just before departure (BA doesn’t allow frozen palm oil).
Agric people caught me this point and I had to dash them 2k, was hoping to escape it. After then I went weighed my luggage, had to shuffle some items between my carry-on and my checked in luggage before I was able to move ahead.
Showed the airline rep my passport, enrollment letter ArriveCAN, passenger locator form (mandatory for UK passage), vaccination card and COVID test. He confirmed the documents and gave me my boarding pass and yellow card to fill.
From there I moved to immigration, they collected my yellow card here, I was instructed to write my final destination address at the back of the card, Baba asked for tip I told him “nothing Dey” and they let me go.
Boarded the plane to London, the food was alright and we landed heathrow around 4am and that’s when I came online and saw the ban update ![sad](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/sad.png)
At 11:45 am we boarded the connecting flight, food was also good. After about 8hrs we were in Toronto. Used the machine to scan my passport and filled some information and a slip was printed out. Walked over to fort immigration check, the asked what food items I brought and I listed them asked if Toronto was my final stop, told him will be going to Saskatoon in January for school proper and I was directed to the place where I’d get my study permit.
Study permit didn’t take long, was only asked for the school I was attending and letter of admission which I submitted, it was checked and I was issued a study permit after which I was directed to public health for quarantine matters based on the new COVID update.
Anyways, I’m isolating now can’t wait for the result to be out so I can carry on with my life.
Sleep don full my eyes

Hi Thaiy, Thanks for sharing this information. Please is the isolation exemption letter included in the travel letter from MUN? If yes, what other things are included in the travel letter? I was told I would not be issued a travel letter because I won’t fly to NL immediately. I have an enrollment verification letter though. Did you isolate at NL upon arrival and what was the experience like? Thaiy:
What province are you travelling too? I got mine after I filled my province travel authorization form, being fully vaccinated, with proof, I got the letter from them.
At Pearson Airport Toronto (YYZ Airport), I relaxed moved around, was on calls and had friends who were willing to come over, besides there is always some for killing time.
At 1:30am, when I got to St John Airport, my greeter was already on ground waiting for me, a friend had asked if my greeter did not show, that I should call him, also, there are taxi you can pick should you have an address.
My airbnb booking was made online while I was at Pearson Airport, Toronto. |

How I sent my Passport to Abuja.
I did my Biometrics in Lagos but I sent my passport to Abuja, So I had to pay a transmission fee of NGN 8,920 to this account CANADA LOGISTIC COLLECTION ACCOUNT (a/c no 0065165839) sterling bank.
I bought a fresh brown envelope and added the following documents, so follow:
- Your International Passport itself (That your passport !!)
- Print only 1 copy of the transmission fee payment receipt and put in your envelope
- 2 copies of your passport data page (I printed it in colored copy)
- Those stapled papers that was given to you after the completion of your Biometrics (put them as it is [original copy] not the photocopy)
- The PPR letter (1 copy)
- 1 copy of the Consent form (I filled and signed the second page only) . Download the consent from here: https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/dominicanrepublic/pdf/Consent-Form-TTS-English.pdf
- A plain sheet of paper where you can write your address and phone number (this is not really needed though, but I added it) NOTE: I paid for 2 ways Courier at DHL and insured it to and fro
2 courier means: As I am sending my passport to Abuja, I want Abuja to send back my STAMPED passport to the address I stated on the Courier.
