My Landing Gist

I got PPR on 1st of Feb and sent my passport through vfs lagos on 7th.  It took 2 months for my passport to return due to the whole Accra timelime plus my passport photo got misplaced in transit.

I had booked my flight shortly after PPR came because I thought passport will be stamped and returned in 6weeks , I had to reschedule the flight.

I booked a return ticket for 475k and later rescheduled for a fee of 44k

For those wondering why a return ticket I needed it to apply for PTA, upon return of my passport from Accra I applied for PTA and 3days to my flight 4k dollars was approved and disbursed to me at 419 per dollar. I will open my return flight and use it whenever I'm ready to visit Nigeria

I booked my flight with Ethiopia Airlines,  arrived airport by 10am on 22nd April, Nobody searched my luggage which was surprising. The immigration guys just wished me well. I went to the check in counter and did all the necessary things .

Flight was for 1:20pm but we left some minutes to 2pm. Flight to Addis Ababa was smooth, less than 2hrs layover then we proceeded to Dublin where we landed just to refuel and then final lap to Canada YYZ.

I didn't spend up to 1hr at YYZ from the point of disembarking to exit home.  Everything was straightforward and smooth, no queue at immigration,  got my luggage in time and my friend came to pick me . The ride home was less than 20mins and that was it.

Monday I went to service Canada for my SIN, opened my bank account and got my mobile number.

I'm grateful to God for the entire PR process which I started in Dec 2019 and for this new phase I have entered in Canada, grateful for the information and guidance on this platform. Special thanks to a member of this forum that assisted me when I needed to pay for my RPRF with a credit card.

I wish everyone still in this PR process all the best. May it end in Landing stories for us all.

Cheers.


Best of luck and hopefully you'll campaign against buying a ticket before receiving passport + COPR. It just places one under some kind of pressure

If you don’t raise a web form quickly, the next letter you may receive will be a misrepresentation letter alongside a 5 years ban. I can’t believe you didn’t deem it necessary to state that you were refused visa in any country when it’s stated in the forms to declare your visa refusals. I am really hoping and praying that they are yet to finalize the decision on your applications. 5 years ban is no joke! All the best.
It may be deliberate. On this same forum a lady claimed she applied for US B1/B2 visa as a married woman while she was indeed single and now applied for PR as a single lady. People have done all sort of things to get the US visa with some succeeding and some not succeeding

I think it depends on setting realistic deadlines.
I bought our ticket same day I sent passport to Abuja. The date was 10 weeks away (was wayyyy cheaper,less than 900k for 4 of us). Passport is back, with DHL, to be delivered to me on may 5th. Flight is still in a month's time.

Someone asked this same question in one of the groups I belong to on a telegram. If only people know that when they lie to acquire something, it comes back to bite them. For someone like that coming clean is the best solution. The visa refusal lady said they didn’t deem it necessary to include their visa refusals when it is always stated in the forms they fill after ITA, leaves me to wonder the kind of refusal they got that made them want to hide it. undecided

Please what's the gap in your return ticket (between departure and arrival) to be eligible for PTA. Can it be more than 2 weeks?

Hi guys, please I did biometrics at Lagos vfs 7 years ago and have lost the biometrics slip. I am planning on sending my package to Lagos again but now I don’t have the slip. Any idea what I should do in this case? Thank you so much guys.

What type of visa?

If sending passport for COPR, you’ll pay transmission fee since you don’t have your slip i believe

Thank you @GraciousWords @Allegory, I have already submitted a webform since saturday, However is It safe to say that Until i see the Medical Document I requested to be uploaded on my profile following the steps you had adviced in the Post AOR section. I will be required to keep sending emails. Or at what point exactly can I be sure the document has been received. I got an acknowledgment of the Webform submitted on Saturday, Yesterday but I did not state if it will be Uploaded or Not. Please advise cos I am really worried about the entire thing, so it does not affect my aplication. Thank you to all the gurus for all the advise thus far.

Hello House,
Please I will like to ask if it is necessary to request for WES Official paper report which attracts additional shipping and handling fees when I can easily get the ECA report provided to me online via PDF?

Please help me save a small change!

Congratulations!!! I enjoy reading your Landing gist. Wish you all the best in Canada.

@Bold... I thought return tickets are to be used within the year. Is there a specific type you opted for that allows you to activate and use anytime you like..? Please clarify. Thanks

Hello All. I would like input from anyone who has processed and got PPR while having a car loan that is deducted monthly from their account and shown on statement of account. Did you attach LOE to your application or were you silent, how do I go about this please? Note the car loan is secured with the car itself and can be sold to liquidate the loan or given back to the bank when I’m going to Canny land�.
Elders in the house please advise. Thank you in advance.

You have to keep sending until you get a real response for one or they upload what you’re asking. It takes them up to 2 months to respond sometimes.

Didn’t have a loan but I’d say always attach a LOE for anything you think might be confusing. If not you’ll be having panic attacks from AOR to PPR and also to avoid ADRs.
Some VOs can look and deduce things on their own but others get very hyper when they see loan. Better safe than sorry.
