Congratulations and may the land of Canada Favour you. .
I want to ask what exactly is enrollment letter?
Is it like a letter that shows you have been given admission?
Cause I’m confused.
Also I am not vaccinated at all.Do you think that would affect me?

Amen to this!

An enrollment letter is evidence that you have registered for AND started attending classes. I can't speak for all schools but for my own school, the International Transition Coordinators mentioned that those for semesters that had not yet commenced, the new students cannot access an enrollment letter. I know a lot of debate happens here on the enrollment letter subject, but reach out to your school to be sure you can't get it.

To be honest, your letter of acceptance and proof of tuition payment is what you need for checks.
Don't worry about the vaccination. I know some schools are organizing vaccinations for their students. You will have to quarantine at your accommodation when you land, instead of staying at a hotel. This is if your flight is after August 9.

There is no need to worry.

which platform did you use for the transfer. For example is it CIBC ?

is there any consequences when ur uncle in Germany help you to pay school fees . Because I don’t understand why keep
Saying it’s not advisable to use third party ! Third party name didn’t show on receipt but their currency logo shows . Plsssssssss someone should talk on this . Me using my uncle in Germany I was able to minimize cost of 200k unlike from Nigeria here through same Flywire

Hi,
Thanks for the landing gist.
I will be flying Lufthansa tomorrow. Quick one, How much did you pay for the extra luggage...what is the cost per kg?

MY LANDING GIST

I will try to be as detailed as possible.

My flight had been booked for August 1 since the second week in June, and I didn't reschedule because while booking I didn't select the option to pay for a date change. (Too much aroro is not good as I would have changed my flight date and not put myself under unnecessary pressure at the airport while checking in)

On arrival at the airport, I was asked if I had foodstuff. I said yes, so I was directed to the Agricultural produce counter where I filled a form and paid the sum of N2,000. I was then given a print out to show that I had declared the agricultural produce. Next was to find the incredibly long queue for Lufthansa travelers. I got on the queue and when it was turn my bags were weighed. I had 3 bags weighing about 20kg each. I was told I would need to pay for the extra bag, obviously. I was given the ticket to go pay, after I had been checked in. When it was my turn to be checked in, I was asked for the following:

1. Arrive CAN
2. Enrolment Letter (which I did not have)
3. Evidence of payment
4. Letter of Acceptance

I explained that since I hadn't started classes and I had reached out to my school to get the enrolment letter but was refused based on the fact the enrolment letters are only for students who had started classes already, I was advised to explain to the officials. I did so, but they were already saying that "ah, you will not board o, you need your enrolment letter o". I responded by asking them to tell the CBSA people what I told them. The guy in charge left and came back to say the border officer said I couldn't board as my flight date was not within the 4 weeks advisory. (The enrolment letter wasn't the issue)

I told to him to explain that I had booked in June and was not aware of the 4 weeks advisory (I genuinely wasn't, I don't like wahala). The border officer then replied that I should just reschedule. The Lufthansa officer then responded by saying that I had been to TICKETING, and that there were no more flights for August.

Next response: XXXXXXXXX, OK TO BOARD.

The man was gracious enough enough to show me the chats on WhatsApp. I was already afraid that I will have to carry all my luggage back home after all the stress of getting to this point of my Canadian journey, and not just the airport.

My trip was smoother from there. Good inflight food and entertainment. 6 hour layover in Frankfurt. Another 8 hours plus to Toronto. Tiring trip o!

Anyway, at the airport you queue to selfservice your landing, scan your passport, take your photo and all. Then the machine gives you a slip. Next, you get on another queue where some documents are asked of you. For me it was Arrive CAN, Vaccination card (I made sure I was fully vaccinated) and letter of acceptance. The officer was satisfied and then I got on the queue for students to get my study permit. Depending on who you meet, the questions will vary. When it was my turn, I was asked for:

1.Letter of acceptance
2. Tuition receipt

I showed him. Then he asked for evidence of my living expenses coverage and I showed him my bank statement (Print a recent one, please). He then told me to wait, that he wants to print my permits. He gave me 2, Study and Work. He also took the time to explain the conditions on the documents. When he was done he said, "Welcome to Canada" with a huge smile on his handsome face.

I sailed out like the queen I am to look for my luggage which I found after a long while. The airport is so big. Please eat in the plane or during your stopovers. You need your strength for the queues and movements.

As you can tell, I wasn't asked for my hotel reservation because I am fully vaccinated. On my way out of the airport, I was given a Covid home test kit to get a sample for pickup at my accommodation. I am exempt from quarantine.

I think that's mostly it.

Have some loose cash in case the airport officials tax you and you don't know how to say NO.

Oh yea, classes start Sep 7, so I was about 1 week ahead of the 4 weeks advisory.

Paid the extra luggage, it was pricey, so prepare. I think it's worth it, though.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi,
Thanks for the landing gist.
I will be flying Lufthansa tomorrow. Quick one, How much did you pay for the extra luggage...what is the cost per kg?

Hi. It's a flat rate, not cost per kg. I paid roughly 125k.

Yepa!!!!
For 60kg or how many excess kg again?

Shayee35:


Hi. It's a flat rate, not cost per kg. I paid roughly 125k.

I know it’s off question , please what’s the usefulness if one gets eta approved?

ericksen:
Yepa!!!!
For 60kg or how many excess kg again?

Lol. So, I had 2 boxes and 1 ghana must go bag each weighing 20kg. You know travelers have an allowance of 2 bags at 23kg each and a hand luggage of 7kg. So I paid for the third bag. It was simply a flat rate. They didn't consider the weight, they just charged a flat rate.

Thinking back, if I had known that the charge would be by back, I would have carried more food items.

I am not asking you to do that, though.

Shayee35:

I thought you wrote 25k until I saw the “1”
Ahhhhh

I guess flight charges vary base on airline. Hopefully. But luggage's allowed also depends on airline and kind of ticket you buy. I guess a business class has more luggage allowance. Than economic class.

Ensure your own bank Statement with your living expense is included in your application.

The school will provide you a receipt, you can submit that one. The reason we urge people not to use 3rd party payment arrangement for visa or tuition fee is that a chargeback on the card might occur. If the person that paid is trusted and reliable, then you have no issue.

Same time ooo... I will be flying from lagos.
Are you traveling tomorrow too?

I will be flying Lufthansa just like she (or he) did. Hence my question.

I mailed nrobi-immigration@international.gc.ca and they replied

I don't understand the active review response though

theboyy:


How did you email them and which office did you send the mail to.

Most airlines allow 2, 23kg (46kg) and 1 8kg carry on luggage.
Check you flight ticket for the luggage info.

You can submit her bank statement. However, 3rd party sponsor is a red flag. To give your proof of fund a boost, she needs to show commitment. Have her pay your tuition fee for at least a semester and also send fund for living expenses to your account.
