Landing gist

Friday September 03, I arrived at the airport around 4:30pm for a 10:55 PM flight. My parents insisted that we leave home early especially because it was raining and Lagos traffic is unpredictable. They were right.

The queue was long. I was approached by a British Airways official and he asked if I have the passenger locator form with me. I was not aware of such. Gave him my phone to search for the link. I filled and downloaded the form only to be told I do not meet the UK fully vaccinated requirement. I had to fill the form again.

I was picked up by a family at the airport. Currently recovering from all the stress.
Best wishes to everyone.

Congrats man!!

Congratulations bro
All the best

I didn't submit any landed property documents.

mastersammy:


If you've started online class already, you can notify them about it with evidence, although it won't add anything in terms of visa approval but by informing them they will see you as a serious applicant

What evidence can I add to support a mail to IRCC showing I have started classes online?

Okay, thanks

makano:
Once they request, then you inform them with evidences..

Peace

Alright, thanks

@lekiboboe
Pls can you help me out
I got my gcms note few days ago and below are the screen shots.
I studied agricultural economics and extension
Being into real estate and cocoa farming for about 8years(pictures of the cocoa farm with workers and CAC certificate)
Married with a child(pictures included )
Pictures of my houses were included
I presented MBS for my account but didn't do that for my sponsor
My intended course of study is agribusiness.

So sorry about your refusal
Await the response of the gurus to the bolded

The thing I can point out here is about the program you went for based on the VO's comment about your proposed study plan is fbis6

Your Bachelors degree & Work experience aligns with Agribusiness management but the the qualification (diploma) of the program you wanna go for is not a good career and academic progression for you. That is, a B.Tech holder going for a Diploma program.

A PG.cert in Agribusiness Management or related program is a better option

See the link below for that

Canada have a recommended nose mask to use. Those that landed, did they ask you anything about your nose mask? What type of nose mask did you use to cross the border?

nose mask is nose mask biko. No one will ask anything as long as you wear one

Ah! No application… it’s just to start afresh then. It is well. Agents have done more havoc than good.

LANDING GIST!!!
Feels good that I dropped my PPR testimony in PART 19 and here I am in PART 20 dropping my landing gist!!! Thanks to the Almighty God, my parents and all gurus on this platform!!!

Lufthansa Air, 10:55pm 2nd September, 2021.

Got to the airport around 6:30/7pm.

2 big bags with one weighing 23.83kg and the other 23.38kg, hand luggage weighing 8.4kg or so, and I also carried a laptop bag, with my laptop and some clothes in it.

I was asked for covid test result(I did the test on 1st September), passport wit my visa, wen she saw a student visa, I was asked for enrolment letter. My bags got checked in and I was given my 3 boarding cards (Lagos to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Toronto, Toronto to Windsor), and also a card to fill my details and destination. I had my ArriveCAN but I wasn't asked for it. My younger bro was asked for it wen he traveled last week.

Moved to the boarding gate, only one man asked for money and I tell baba say e nor dey. I met with the immigration officer and gave him the card. The boarding gate queue dey long die, try get to the airport early to check-in.

At the boarding gate, I was asked for passport and covid test result. My hand luggage was weighed again and it was like 9kg+ and the lady told me itz supposed to be 8kg but I should go.....Datz wat she told everyone sha.

Plane took off around 11:45pm. Please hold a jacket, it was very cold for me, I was actually having a sick feeling guess it was cuz of d covid vaccine, but generally it was still cold. I wore my jacket with my hands in d pocket and I used the blanket to cover my head. Lufthansa Air was great generally, especially for movie and music lovers, food too was good.

Got to Frankfurt at abt 6am naija time. Moved to my boarding gate and check-in started almost immediately, I just showed them boarding pass and covid test result. Frankfurt to Toronto via Air Canda. It was also an excellent one, wasn't really cold I knw, bit still did d same jacket and scarf style lol....Dat 2nd covid vaccine do me strong tin. We were told that the flight is full, so only one hand luggage is allowed. So extra hand luggage were checked-in for free. I checked-in my own, so I was left only with my laptop bag.

Got to Toronto at 12:35pm Toronto time, and next flight to Windsor was scheduled for 2:15pm. I scanned my passport and filled my details online by myself using the self service machine, which den generated a ticket for me, then, I moved to the officer. Showed her the ticket with my passport and she asked;

Why are you coming to Canada? I am coming to study
What school? University of Windsor
What program? Master of Medical Biotechnology....Masters? Wow!!!
So why did you choose to come study in Canada? Cuz UWindsor offers my program as an accelerated program, and I will complete the program under just 16months, so I had to forgo other options and settle for Canada.
Are you fully vaccinated? Yes. Kindly show me ur proof of vaccination, I brought out my card and she checked.
She said my last dose was 31st August, I said and she told me I'll av to quarantine for 14days wich I told her I'm aware of, so she gave me the quarantine booklet to take along and read.
Do you have food items, alcohol or tobacco in ur bag? No! Are u sure? Yes I am.
Do you have a place to quarantine? I said yes, and I gave her my house address. What place is this, hotel or where? I told her it's a rented house, I have my private room upstairs with two other rooms but the occupants are not in town yet until 17th wich is the last day of my quarantine, so I have the washroom to myself. She said that's good, she gave me a ticket and directed me on where to go.

I met with a Ghanaian man. He asked for my passport.

What school are you going? I answered
What program? I answered
Watz d Duration?16month
So u r expected to finish when? December, 2022.
Show me your vaccination card....I showed him and he told me abt quarantine, which I told him I am aware of.
So he stood up and printed my study permit and told me to follow a particular procedure at the back of the permit, in case I dnt finish my program by December and all. He also told me to focus on my studies that Canada is a good place, that he is advising me cuz I am his fellow West African lol.

So I moved to carry my bags, I wait taya....I got all my bags at exactly 2:14pm. Did covid test, and I was also given the kit for my day 8 testing. Got to the terminal and I was told my flight had gone already.

I was given another boarding pass for 9pm, and I was told it's nt sure, I will only get in of someone doesn't show up. While waiting, I bought pringles and water with 100usd, and I was given my change in cad. US$100 was changed for 121cad. Unfortunately, I ddnt get in, but one Indian guy was lucky to get in, only one space was left.

I was given another one for 9am on 4th September, and I was also told itz nt sure, only if someone doesn’t come but I was only sure of Sunday, 5th September, 9am....So I was given a pending boarding pass for 4th, and a real one for 5th. I slept on d floor at Toronto airport. The cold was killing!!! I wore like 4 more clothes under my jacket and 2 clothes to cover my head. I was lucky to move with the 9am flight yesterday. Toronto to Windsor was just abt 40mins. Apparently, my bags got to visit Windsor before me loool.

Airport taxi from Windsor Airport to my apartment in Josephine Avenue was around 25cad.

It’s in the past now. God will compensate you with this new application. You’ll get it all right with this one. Feel free to consult us here at anytime. All the best.

Yes, you won't quarantine if you took it 14 days before your travel date

Find below IRCC response to the web form submitted with respect to my pending SP application. I am worried this folks are just using Afghanistan issues as excuses for their inefficiency in processing SP.
I am yet to defer my application submitted 19 May 2021 and my school is resuming 9th September 2021.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay buy it's not denial, in summary you went for a lower certificate on thesame field where u had Bsc.

Well, please repackage ur application, since you are self employed why not do business related management study and if u wish for same field since it's related to ur occupation, why not go for masters or pgd as the case may be.

Sponsorship; you can share a birth relationship Existence link between ur sponsor and parents, birth cert, pictures, family algorithm.

Write a convincing SOP and LOE for the defense of the highlight issues.

U still have a chance so don't give up

Am not a guru anyway, just my own point of view.


It will end in praise!!!

Amen!

Friday September 03, I arrived at the airport around 4:30pm for a 10:55 PM flight. My parents insisted that we leave home early especially because it was raining and Lagos traffic is unpredictable. They were right.

I filled and downloaded the form only to be told I do not meet the UK fully vaccinated requirement. I had to fill the form again.

Note: Those computer centers at the airport will urge you to come and print the form. That's totally unnecessary. You do not need to print. You can present a soft copy from your phone.

Went on to check-in my luggages, both bags weighed 23 point something kg. The lady was nice enough to overlook the very little excess.
I presented the documents below;
Enrollment letter
Passport
Covid 19 negative result
Receipt of Tuition fee
Passenger locator form I submitted to the UK government
I forgot to print study permit approval letter, I had to show the lady a soft copy from my phone.
I was asked to wait somewhere while they await confirmation from their source. After confirmation I was provided my boarding pass. I chilled at the restaurant with my family till I was ready to board.

The 2 Flights were smooth and the in-flight entertainment was top notch, but I couldn't eat the meals provided. I was literally feeling hungry. I wouldn't have shared the cookies I brought from home with the passenger beside me if I had known.

NB: Don't ever depend on in-flight meals o. That's probably the only drawback from the journey.

At Heathrow airport, I couldn't access the internet properly despite my phone being connected to the WiFi. Some apps and website were inaccessible. Spent 7hrs there. I was indecisive on what to eat and when I finally did, my choices were terrible. I kept myself entertained with series I downloaded.

NB: Don't ever buy canned coconut water.

I Departed London and landed in Toronto around 4pm. The entire process at the airport was smooth as I am fully vaccinated. Immigration didn't ask any unnecessary question. It was more like a conversation.

I was picked up by a family at the airport. Currently recovering from all the stress.
Best wishes to everyone.

Best of luck shupy ..... We dey come.... One love

Today is labour day in Canada!
