Landing Gist! So on 12th of June, I set out to imo airport to board flight to Lagos for travel slated on the 14th june. Flight info Airline: Ethiopian airline, Air Canada, WestJet Time of flight: 1:40pm. Route: LAGOS - ADDIS ABABA - DUBLIN - TORONTO - CALGARY - SASKATOON. On the 14th, left house for MM1, got there around 9:30-10am for 1:40 flight. As I entered, went to immigration abi na custom people. Crowd was there. I gave them 1k and left without my luggage searched. From there, I went to agriculture unit, they said I will pay 2k for every bag ( I had 3 luggage with 1 hand luggage and laptop bag). I got angry there cos when I brought out money to pay them, they said I should stop showing the money that camera will see it that they only accept POS. There I knew that the money was illegal. Na there I knew I had I'm on top. At the end of the day, I paid 1k with thank you sir from them. The gave me a letter of declaration of the items I have. The didn't check it. Was only asking me and I'm telling them. From there I left to Ethiopian airline stand. I was asked to weigh the bag, Omo the kg was overwhelming but what was more overwhelming was the price I was asked to pay for excess. Now this the tip if you're to use Ethiopian airline when travelling and you have excess luggage, do what is called upgrade of your luggage instead of extra luggage (outside the 2 23kg/bag allocation). This will make you to pay lesser. Paying for extra luggage is higher than paying for upgrade. Upgrade is where you upgrade your 23kg to a 32kg. So at the end, I reduced my luggage to 2 overweight bag. Each weighing 31kg. If you have extra bag, even if is by just 1kg, you will be charged for the cost of 23kg. Also, know how to woo those guys weighing the luggage. I handed him 3k, told him to reduce the weight of the to 28kg ad 25kg respectively. So he wrote it down on my luggage for me and in the piece of pepper which I used to go pay. But know this may backfire cos, as I went to tag my bag and drooped it on the weighing lever, the guy said it was reading 31kg but what's on my payment receipt is 25kg and 28kg. But it passed. So be mindful when doing this part. It may not work for you. Someone before me paid 314k for extra luggage while I paid 46k for upgrade of my 2 luggage. From there, I proceeded to fill the yellow card, wrote the address I intend to stay at the back, went to immigration officers. Who stamped on my passport. Then to custom officers who scanned my hand luggage and laptop bag. From there I went to my gate for boarding. Note: I was only asked to show my ArriveCan, passport, COVID-19 vaccination card (I'm fully vaccinated) By 1:40, we all boarded and ready to move. We left at about 1:50pm if not mistaken. We got to Addis Ababa exactly 9pm Ethiopian time and 7pm Nigeria time. Went through immigration check. Then head to gate for boarding to Dublin. We left just after 10pm Ethiopian time. Not sure the exact time. Here, I was asked nothing. Just to show my ticket and passport. He wished me safe flight. Past 10pm, our flight left for Dublin (7hrs+ flight). We got to Dublin around 5am, Dublin time and Nigeria time. We didn't go down the airline. Crew and pilot was changed. Plane cleaned and refuelled. 45mins later, we left for TORONTO. 8:10am, we got to Toronto. I only have one word for Pearson international airport. MIGHTY. Mehn this airport is big. From where we disembarked to where I went for self declaration na marathon. Please if possible, let your carry on bag be the one with leg(roller) that you can drag. I suffered carrying my bag and laptop. Please also no form oo. Ask questions oo. The airport is MM1*5. So I got to declaration form machine, placed my passport, then answered questions asked by the machine. After submission, it took my picture and gave me a printout. I took the printout to where to get the my permit. I got there and stayed on the queue. It got to my turn. He asks for my passport. I gave him. He asked is it my first time. I said yes. He said congrats. Printed my permit and stamped my passport and said welcome to Canada. Under a min, I was done. I was even thinking maybe he isn't done. I asked him is that all, he smiled and said yes. I left there to go pick my luggage. After picking my luggage, I checked it in for my next flight to Calgary. Here another wahala began. The gate Ethiopian airline printed on my ticket wasn't the gate of my flight. After walking miles to find the gate, I stayed there. When it was my time, nothing was happening at the gate, I was surprised. Still I was waiting cos that's the gate on my ticket. Little did I know I was on the wrong gate. So as nothing was happening on the gate, I went to another gate to find out, I was told that I'm at the wrong gate and my flight is almost done boarding that I should run oo. Before I could get there, I was told the gate is closed that I should go change my flight to next one at the customer service office. Already my luggage was already checked in. So I now had to wait for another 4hrs for my new fly time. So please, if you're using Ethiopian airline, when you get to Air Canada, be asking them about your flight. Your flight gate might be wrong oo. I made the mistake, don't make same mistake. Got to Calgary around 5pm, Calgary time. By then my luggage was already waiting for me. I picked it and waited for my family to pick me up. So I will be here for a month before moving to saskatoon, my final destination. Canada is neat. Chilling at the park now flexing. All of us waiting for PPR shall surely come to this Canada. Currently roaming my Gloline here. It changes from Beno to Telus. My final note is, if you're flying with Ethiopian airline, please just be mindful of your self. Alot of drug peddlers going to Oman, Brazil, etc use them. So be mindful when someone just becomes unusually friendly. Wish us all the best ok. 64 Likes 2 Shares |

Good day house, Please I need your advice concerning the choice of universities maybe in Canada or the US. My wife holds a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Environmental Health Technology with Distinction from POGIL College of Health Technology, Nigeria with more than 7years of experience as a Health Care Assistant and 4years as Environmental Health Officer licensed with the Environmental Health Officers Registration Council of Nigeria (EHORECON) and a professional certification in Principles of Occupational Health and Safety Management System, Food Safety Training - Safe Practices and Procedures, CPR, AED AND FIRST AID and Diploma in Nursing and Caregiving from Alison. (1) Do Canadian universities accept HND for Masters or PGD? (2) Which US universities accept HND for masters? |

ademma2022: What position do you occur in the hospitality establishment? Why are you going for a diploma and not a PGD(Ontario College Graduate Certificate)? You are to include pictures of yourself and sis with the husband. If you have wedding pix, you can include it. Marriage certificate of you sis and hubby, your sis birth certificate before she married her hubby if it's available, letter of consent from your sis confirming her relationship with you and to her husband, letter of support from the hubby also confirming the same story written by your sis in the letter of consent. I believe these should work. 1 Like 1 Share |

Congratulations to all who have gotten PPR so far and Congratulations to us who will be getting soon. I stumbled on this thread about a month after my submission. I wish I did earlier though because of the amount of information available on the thread! Thanks to all who daily encourage others and those that remember to come back to share their timelines, documents submitted and tips & tricks. If you are new and just applying or have applied and waiting, I suggest you do an Upfront medical, this MAY help save time and kickstart the process. I applied April 26, 2022 and did an upfront medical on May 25, though I not get a medical request I started sending emails 3rd week in June and my medical was updated June 23 (I should have sent emails and webform by end of week one). Another set of emails sent initiated my "eligibility review" on July 05. Now I am waiting for PPR and have sent another set of emails....and I believe it will end in praise . Everyone will glorify God with me. It's tiring and can be mentally exhausting, I pray God gives those of us in His waiting room patience to stand the season and show His Mercy and Favour as regards our application. We will share our testimony sooner than we think in Jesus Name. 11 Likes |

paradigmshift: What year did he do this .. Probably when our naira had value but not now. First semester tuition has already taken the 2.5m. you will not be required to show you have your first year tuition plus an additional $10,000cad living expense. I will advise you look for a sponsor related to you or try mpower student loans but you still need to show money for living expense in your account 10m upwards |
