LANDING GIST Good Afternoon my people. I took the 8:05 am flight from Abuja to London, then London to Toronto using British Airways. I arrived at the airport by 6 am, they didn't let my family in as usual so I proceeded to the check in desk on my own. customs looked through my box of food and cleared me cos I had only dried food. At very step I was asked 'anything for us' but I only dropped in some places. One of my bags was overweight so I had to move things around before I was checked in. I chatted with the check in guys so they let my 23.6kg box fly without paying anything extra. Here they asked for arrive can and passport and I was given my boarding pass. I went back outside to cry and take pictures with my family before going back inside. I went to customs and immigration after filing out the yellow card and they asked how much I'm carrying, I had less than 10k so no issues here. After getting cleared then I went to my boarding gate. We took off at exactly 8;05 am and an hour into the flight they gave us breakfast. It was nice, sausage, eggs, bacon, croissant and all. Then they also gave a sandwich, Juice and coffee later. The plane was very very very cold!! please carry a thick jacket and wear sneakers with thick socks and headworker if you get cold easily. We landed in Heathrow at exactly 2:05 pm and had a 2 hour layover, before boarding here they asked for only passport and boarding pass. and we took off for the 7 hour flight to Toronto. They also served us two sets of snacks (pretzels and juice, then chicken sandwich and coffee) and dinner of mashed potatoes and chicken. We landed by 12;37 Nigerian time but it was 7;37 pm here. Everywhere was bright and shining like 4pm lol. I headed to arrivals, filled the declaration form and declared the foodstuff I was carrying before going to the customs desk. A handsome asian guy attended to me and asked what kind of agricultural produce I had, I told him spices and flour and he cleared me to head to Immigration. At this point my heart was beating but I just kept calm, An imposing slavic guy attended to me and asked me for my acceptance letter and proof of tuition payment. He asked where I will be staying and how long my program is then he printed my study permit and coop work permit, stamped my passport and I was off. Our baggage was unloaded already so I just located my boxes, put them on a trolley and went outside to order an uber. The weather was a bit warm since its spring, it only felt like low AC but I kept my jacket on. Headed to my airbnb and called my people. I hope everyone gets to experience this and I am eternally grateful to this platform for giving me all the information I need to see my dream come true. To those waiting for PPR, it gets depressing and you almost want to give up but no matter how long it takes I believe its amazingly worth it. 61 Likes 2 Shares

Johnwisdom1032: Hi, I also run Airbnb so I put my profile page, reviews and payment pages. I don’t pay taxes either so I didn’t put any tax information. I also added my profile from other platforms and mentioned that sometimes guests pay directly into my account and from my notes IRCC had no issue with it |

Anon123: I’m not a guru but I’ll attempt to explain as I work in Admin/management so I’ll give a few reasons a company would want to sponsor their staff. 1. Internal Memo commending said employees performance/diligence 2. Track record of employees work improving the status/performance of the company. 3. Starting up a new division/department where the employee has experience. 4. Company’s commitment to improving their staff career development. 3 Likes |

Nkem292: They only accept documents in English or French. Tell your sponsor to ask the bank if they can give them a copy translated to either of these languages. |

It’s probably a courier service they partner with. DHL is usually very professional so I don’t think you need to be worried. feistymikey: |

I noticed they share application number (not the full thing just the first 6 digits) in one of the Indian groups to help keep track of processing sequence and I was wondering if we could do the same here. Following theirs might not give much insights since it’s a different country/office. What do you guys think? 2 Likes |
