Did you pay for extra weight or your 23kg * 2 allowances was enough?
I wouldn't advice you to have extra, because you will be charged in $ for every extra kg(which will be very high at the end). Make sure you only take things that are very important to you(things you know you can't find easily in Canada). If you like your Naija food so much then you can decide to carry mostly foodstuff and very little clothing (with the intention of getting more when you arrive Canada)

First things first..

You need to write a strong proposal. Draft something of between 2-4 pages. Once you have your proposal, the next thing is to identify schools and potential supervisors. I could help you by narrowing your scope. What specific area of Political Science are you interested in? Comparative Politics, Policy Studies, International Relations, Strategic Studies, or what?
International relations.. is it scholarship proposal?

So, I can actually carry a carryon bag and my laptop bag too and check two big bags right. I bought foodstuff of over 100k and I don't want to leave anything behind
The thing is that, they don't really weigh your carry-on bag(if it looks small), so make sure it is small enough to fit into the overhead cabin.

When booking is it a one way ticket one should use or with a return?
Since you are going for studies and will spend more than 6 months, one-way will do.

Questions:

Has anyone traveled from Nigeria using Turkish Airlines to Canada lately - or do you know someone? Did you or them have to do Covid-19 test? For those who took food, did you declare on your declaration form and what was the implication of this? I intend to carry most of the food and utensils I would need for the first month or so especially during quarantine. Mind you they seized my Agbo Jedi - they called it herbs and plants - and gave me a caution slip, several years ago, so I won't hide any of the stuff I carry.

Thanks.

Hello all. Please i finished from unizik with a Bachelor's degree in pharmacy. With a gpa of 3.83. I intend to apply for Memorial University. I am being asked for my transcripts. I would like to know if I should submit the transcripts directly from my school or I should use WES which I have no idea how to go about it.

Please if anyone has been accepted to MUN. Please kindly send me an email. victoroyiogu@gmail.com.

I would like to also know my chances with my gpa
You don't need WES evaluation, apply for your transcript from your previous school and address it to MUN and it will be sent to them by your previous school (that's what makes it official). Though if you have strong connection in your previous school you can get the sealed copy of the transcript then you send it to MUN via DHL or FedEx or any other courier service company (for fast delivery).
Another option is if you are applying to more than one school, you can apply for student copy transcript from Unizik and then personally send to all the schools for them to process your admission, once you get offer from any other schools you can now apply for the official copy to be sent to them by UNIZIK.

That's thesame VFS office now, if I don't know that of Abuja at least I know the Lagos office which is close to my house. Na thesame office or should I say address/building.

I had to ask if there's another embassy when the poster said "Canada embassy, not VFS oh" sounded to me like 2 separate offices but thanks for the response though.

It will end in praise for us all...

Uncle is VFS canadian office?

Hello @ Philadelphia,

Kindly visit page1 of this thread, there's link for the NSE details.

It is expected that you use the search option to get info on any enquiry which will help you see if thesame has been discussed in past threads. It's probably the reason you didn't get a quick response as this topic is already almost overflogged on this platform. The time of the night may also be anothor reason though.

All the best.

It will end in praise for us all...

One more question please.

I went through the list of documents needed for application and visa grant.
Unfortunately, i do not have a direct sponsor as my mum is late and my father is retired. But i saved up some money from trading Stocks and Agro-investments.

Can i sponsor myself for the student visa application or is there a way around this?

IF YOU ARE JUST COMING TO CANADA AND YOU HAVE USD DO NOT CHANGE YOUR MONEY TO CAD AT THE AIRPORT, THE RATES ARE TERRIBLE ,AND THERE IS ALSO A COMMISION ON EACH TRANSACTION. The woman at travelex told me the rate is 1usd - 1.11 cad but something told me not to change it, when i got to my apartment, I told my friend to help me change it and she changed it at the bank for a rate of 1usd- 1.28 cad without any commission at all

Just thought to share
Thank you bro, I was planning to change at the airport, thank you once again for this information

Nairaluck I greet you. I wanna ask, I made my initial deposit fees of 1500kcad to conestoga via the cibc international student pay. A friend of mine n cad assisted with the payment (360N/1). It's been 3 days now and the payment hasn't gotten to Conestoga. Is it wrong for me to use a friends credit card to pay? Abi na traffic too much en route to conestoga....pls assist.
No it's not out of place, lately they've been this delay with payment reflecting, if you payment was successful then exercise more patience it will definitely reflect.
A friend of mine paid same about 3weeks ago through Western Union Business Solution, it took about 8 business days to reflect as against the normal 72hrs as at August.
I am also expecting one other payment to reflect through same Western Union Business Solution it's day 3 now.

It will definitely reflect, PATIENCE
