Travel / Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by thoneey: 3:29am On Jan 10, 2018
Please you stated earlier that your luggages weighed 30kg per bag on ethiopian airline, i will like to find out if you had to specially request for extra luggage or had to pay for the extra as i just bought tick and was only give 23kg
Thank you
MummyJaygirls:
So yesterday I say I wan buy small supplies for house, oga say “don’t go, it’s too cold after we register the car, we would go together on Thursday”, me I say I want to go, why are u trying to dull me na? na so I wear cloth enter -29 weather.

I Dey hail mysef Say ahnn ahnn, this my baffing up is ok o, I’m not cold. Na so I waka reach the bus stop near the house,
Then I realized say the area get plenty bus stops and I was at the wrong one, I wasn’t sure which one I was to wait at, I brought out my phone to use the map and the battery just drained, even the phone know say the cold na gangster.

After trekking from one end of the street to the other, I decided to wait at the one that looked more like a busy road to me. My nose felt frozen, poor me cry

When I look time, it was past the time I saw online that the bus would arrive, and the next was for 30mins later, jisox, so I go sidon wait outside? E mean say na ice mummyjaygirls dem go come carry o, then I thought of how my oga go tell me say shebi I said don’t go, so I followed the stubborn part of my brain and decided to sit and wait for the bus.

After small time (20mins) I decided to walk to another bus stop, I never waka far when I saw the bus on the other side of the road dropping off passengers, so I turned back to wait again. Like 10 minutes later, the bus arrived. Yippie!

I hopped one, sat at the back to the final stop. The initial plan was to use Uber to the store, but when I got there the “devil” in me say why don’t u just complete the journey with the bus na? Na im I ask bus driver say I Dey go .... he say enter that one, so I entered and told the driver say, see where I Dey go o, he say ok, sit down, we dey go dey go, I no Dey gree reach my destination, next thing I saw was the bus station, Chineke! This guy don do me one chance, so I told him say bros, where the place where u suppose drop me na, he say “sorry, I didn’t see it” hian! Thunder fire u, hiss.

So he says where exactly is the place, i say ...., o get on that bus, so I did again, this time I turned on google map and it showed the place was around the area, but as per no be molue and u can’t stop anyhow, I had to wait till the next bus stop.

By this time, I don already tire, I say make I use Uber as e no far from where I stop, so e no go too cost, my village people say “ur suffer never reach us” Uber no gree work, e say ur number isn’t registered, blood of Zachariah! Bet y meeee! As I Dey think how I go do, yellow cab just passed in front of me, see as I copy the number sharp sharp, called them (while praying the phone wouldn’t die on me) and in a few minutes my taxi arrived, the rest they say is history.

When I reach house na so I face heater for my body while drinking hot milo and slept off on that spot. Lol

So that’s my first over sabi experience in Canada o.

Hello everyone, gurus in the house please i need your opinion
I recently added my spouse to my application and we were on IP2, the status changed to NA 3 days ago and yesterday i got ADR.
However the ADR is strange as it says Kit, to upload "Application forms: Application guide and forms sent to applicants Spouse
Add-On Kit. Please does anyone know what this means or has anyone see this message before?
Thank you

Hi any update on your application? my application also just moved to NA from IP2
omesanni:
On Nov 1, my status changed from application in progress (ip1) to we are processing your background check(ip2). Then yesterday it changed to Not applicable. What does this mean.

Its kind of weird to me because people normally go from ip2 to ppr and I have no idea why mine didn't go that route. Was expecting to get PPR today but its already end of the day and nothing showed up. Any thoughts?

I think passport is eligible for renewal when you have less than 6 months as you need at least 6 months to expiry to apply for most visas. But I would let others share their experiences as i didn't do mine in Nigeria but i also had about 4 months left when i renewed.
Kevinoh:
Hello everyone!

Please I'd love to know when the Nigerian passport is eligible for renewal. Mine expires in second week of February 2018 and I submitted my application in late August. If and when my application is successful, are they likely to request for a new passport or it's still the old one they will need?

Thanks in anticipation for your kind responses guys!

Hi please what option did you pick when asked if you have an ECA? Yes or No? Because i am done with IELTS and just waiting for WES but i thought you cant get into the pool without WES?
QuantumK:
Guys, please I have an urgent question. I got into the pool(EE profile) however my WES result wasn't out yet, I actually thought it will come out before I get an ITA but from all indication, this does not seen plausible. Please what do I do if I am invited to apply? anyone had similar experience? I was desperate and didn't think it will matter until i started speaking to people. My score now is 421. What do I do? experts in the house please i need your advice.
thank you.
