Depends on the kind of ticket you buy and the duration of your stop over (from 6hrs i think) .Dubai connect consist of free dubai visa, transportation to a hotel already booked on your behalf, food and a room at the hotel and transportation back to the airport to meet up your connecting flight.

All expense paid by the airline (emirates)

Ambeyh: CHAI one month and 13days? sorry,were you do your medics cos dat hospital needs to be sued.

Lol I'm talking about how long it took them to call me for medicals. Submitted sept 29th (paper route) and was called for medicals nov 11th. Did my medicals at asaju the following week. Still waiting on news from the embassy

Sleek5: Good evening house...I took a nap later today and by the time I woke up at about 6:30pm, I saw 2 missed calls from my agent. I called back and I was told MY MEDICALS JUST DROPPED . I am super excited, ALL GLORY GOES TO GOD!

My application was actually submitted SEPTEMBER 30th by my agent. I used company sponsorship, different surnames. I still remember how jadapinkett13 and chrigo battled it out on whether I stand a chance to even be called for medicals or not. Jadapinket13 sounded so discouraging and chrigo was so encouraging, I kept faith! At the end of the day, God knows best!! To Chrigo I say thank you and God bless U. The beauty of life sometimes does not only lie on how happy you are, but how happy/encouraged you make other people. To all the beautiful people on this thread, thanks for all your countributions. All those awaiting medics/trv...urs is settled by God.

My medics came in exactly, 2months and 6days after submission. Lambton college - human resource management - Jan 2014.

Congrats , sharply go do your medicals. . Mine was one month and 13days. Sometimes I dont understand this people

kesiena_oritse: PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!! I went to the embassy and after much waiting, I have gotten my Visa. Please if u know your application has exceeded the processing time, please do try and visit the CDHC for enquiries ooooo and find out first hand information for yoursef.Those VO's I dont understand them. What and how they do the selection of issuance of visa beats me. LEVELS DE AND LEVELS DE. Things de hapen for dat place wen man nor fit tell. How person go submit october 29, they get her visa today? See as call just de enter d babe fon from inside or security go just de come ask her one or two question. Anyway like I said, my application was just 6months and a week and done medicals but no reply from them. But today, as God has said it will be, I went there o calmly and patiently waiting for my turn, and was ushered in. E nor reach 3mins dem don give me all my paper back and passport including letter of introduction ooooooo. I just come weak! Peeps if your docs are good and instructions followed as it is on the nigeria.gc.ca website, you are good to go.its just time it will take. Just imagin a whole six months of processing. But I finally got it. No be my power o na God and aadherence to instructions. Na so 600k for don go one agent! Na to book flight sharp sharp ooooo! To all NLanders yet to receive any info, just keep track of your dates and if its past d processing time, pay dem a visit on a tuesday or thursday and hear for yoursef. Vfs has no info to give you. Their job is to help check if you have the docs immigration needs and transport your docs to the embassy and return when its time for collection.

Dont be deceived! The embassy attends to cases once they have exceeded the average processing time once your case is made known to them on tuescay or thursday by 7am. If you have inquiries to make, you can still go but all u get is a phone call wit d answer they have. Most answers they give u are on the site.

It is wel! Dont lose hope. I almost withdrew my application at a point but a friend adviced me to be patient and prayerful. Alot goes on in tne embassy you cant tell. What stopped them from issuing me d visa since october which was d due date? Peeps patience and prayers and we will all get to Canada.

Thanks to this forum for all the enlightments and stories. I appreciate ooooooo!!!

This is good news. .. congrats

My friend stormed the embassy today and she was given her medical instructions. So peeps lets keep praying for more medicals and trv news . She submitted her application on the 11th of August via paper route.

tkay11: I will like to thank every single member of this forum.... U guys ROCK !!! U guys kept my Bp low as you all know this Canadian Visa Ish is not a small Ish at all.... But cos of u guys, I was able to pull through to the end....

Applied : July 30 (Paper Route)
Medical Request: Oct 23
Medical Done: Oct 29
Tuition Receipt Submitted : Nov 15
TRV : Nov 21
Collected from Agent :Nov 28

Special Thanks to God.........

Congrats on your trv.... here is wishing you a safe trip to Canada. Pls what agency did you use.

ChriGo: ...Yes she can retrieve her passport just like chidinmaa said...Buh bare in mind that it might affect her application...cuz when embassy instruct one for medics they send the passport to vfs..buh since her passport wont be available they might be waiting for her to return it or might just send the instructions only to vfs knowing fully well she already has her passport......

Thanks boss ...I think it's best she aborts her travelling plans. Oh btw I'm having problems accessing nairaland email, can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

chidinmaaa:

I think she should tell the security what transpired and how the line went off. She should tell the security she wants to retrieve her passport. They will tell her what to do. I think she has to write an application letter right there. They will even give a plain sheet. I meet a lady d last time too. All she did was tell d security then dey told her how to go about it. Good luck

Thanks for the information. I'm just going to advise her to forget about the convocation since her start date is in jan and she submitted her application on the 11th of September.

ChriGo: ...Nice one bro...Its a gud development...buh why u sef wait for a whole month na?....Na why i no waste time storm dem during my time cuz devil dy look for who to devor with tuition and board...lol .....anyways my ogas don answer you....Na NEPA take light .....

Hello... would like to pick your brain. A friend of mine went to the embassy on Tuesday and was asked to fill the form so someone will submit it for her on thursday cos she came late. She got a call frm the embassy this morning saying they still working on August application. The thing is .... she needs her passport so she can travel for her bros convocation in malaysia which takes place 1st week in dec. The problem is she tried explaining this to the woman but the line cut off because of network. Do you think she should wait for the lady at the embassy to call back?
Is it advisable to retrieve ones passport and submit it back?
Do you have an idea on the process of retrieving ones passport ?
PS... she's still at the embassy

kjbobo:
Not true bro...firstly what do you mean by failing medical test?it's not a pass or fail exam?secondly...it depends on ailment...people who had STDs were placed on regimen and thereafter issued visa...I got to know of a woman who was HIV Positive...her application was put on hold....they can't tell you aren't a bonfide student when you are medically challenged especially terminal ailment...they will tell the person eventually and be advised to seek help..,those that I know that have been told "not bonafide" had issuestate with results from school...couldn't produce certificate...and those diseases are mostly terminal.....cancer,AIDS...or communicable...TB

I thought being HIV positive is grounds for denial??!!

Anointed111: Abegooo na who the go centennial college? Or who already dey centennial college Make we reason. Wanna knw a few things.

Itstyme:

FYI, looking at standards, services and aircraft comfortability , Ethiopia is way better than Qatar. They ve got all what u might desire in an air travel but just the name Ethiopia seems scary to you which isn't so at all. Go figure...

I beg to differ. .. I have used Ethiopia airline before and I had a very horrible horrible experience.

ChriGo: .....I so much rejoice with u oooo... congratulations. ...God is indeed great............
