If your first place of landing in Canada is Toronto then that will be where your immigration check will be. Try to look for a flight with a long stop over between landing in Toronto and your flight to Edmonton. I missed my flight due to the long line at immigration and they connected me to the next available flight at no extra cost (I don't inow if that is how it always work )

Hello everyone in the house, trust we all are doing good.
Please I want to book a flight for February, Ethiopian airline from Abuja to Edmonton. Will my immigration check be in Toronto or in Edmonton? Because if it will be in Toronto, I may likely miss my flight to Edmonton.

Please what number did you write for your arrive CAN documentation considering we would not have gotten a Canadian number from Nigeria. Thank you

Please any British Columbia post PPR WhatsApp group? Kindly add me. It seems those interested in going to BC are few, it so hard getting resources on BC living

Please for those who got travel funds. How did you do it.my bank is asking for a two way ticket? I have a one-way ticket. Also, did Ethiopian air require yellow fever vaccine card. @lekibobae please help

Did you need a yellow fever vaccine card at the Nigeria airport?

Complete landing gist

I flew from Uyo to Lagos on Tuesday evening and I stayed with a family friend for the night. I arrived the airport around 10am for a flight of 1.40pm. I thought I was early until I saw the queue. Quick tip: even if your flight is for 6pm, get to the airport around 12pm and stay there till they are ready for you .

Ethiopian airlines usually do manual verifications of all students travelling to Canada. You really need to be there on time for this because the man doing it is slow and doesn't care about your time. He asked for proof of enrollment, ission letter, ArriveCAN slip, and visa page. Please make at least two copies of all of these too. After showing him, he'll snap and then send to someone via WhatsApp to . Once confirmed, your port will be given a number and you'll then proceed to where it will be scanned again for secondary verification. After this stage, you will then go to where you can get a boarding .

The plane left Lagos around 2pm. I was seated at the back and had space to stretch legs . We got to Addis Ababa around 7pm (Nigeria time) and then we entered a long queue for onward movement. From Addis Ababa, we went to Dublin for refueling and then to Toronto. Upon arrival, we talk a long walk (very long o) and got to immigration people. The woman that attended to me asked for these (in the following order):
1. Declaration slip (will be given to you in the airplane)
2. port
3. LOI
4. Student Status letter (enrolment letter)
5. School fees/tuition receipt
6. ArriveCAN page (apparently, I didn't even fill my own well and was delayed for a while. Make sure you fill yours well)
7. POF
8. LOA

She asked me the following:
Which department were you itted into?
Why did you choose MUN?
What is your name?

Then she took my finger prints and issued me a Study Permit for 3 years (my program is for 2 years but I don't know why it was issued in excess).

I went to wait board a St John's flight after a long wait at the airport. Got to St. John without qualms. Reach my apartment, checked in and slept off.


Exams start on Monday. Canada is beautiful and nice. I love the place. Good luck to all who are applying or will soon come.

It has ended in praises.

What other means do you advise?

Insanity:


Honestly, this is a big issue. No dollar for anything at the moment.

Hi. Please how did you get travel funds. My bank is saying I need to have a two way ticket.

Please how long does it take to get travel funds from gtbank and is it only dollars they exchange or can they give Canadian dollars? Thank you

Thank you

Address: 3 Idowu Taylor St, Victoria Island, Lagos. You book on hold to keep your reservation, if you can’t pay instantly or having issue making payment using what ever payment portal they provide.

These were my exact thoughts too but once you get your port you will forget all of these. Keep trying to resend at different times, it will go through.

Akannitommy:
I have not been able to chat with their bot for over a week now and phone lines always busy. They need more than one email or expand the capacity if they want to keep it so. Also, one phone line for Lagos VFS is absurd. Their customer service is zero!

You can chat with their bot on their website. What they told me then was that they are sorting it out but what i did was I kept trying at different times of the day until the mail got sent. You will receive a generic email from them when it is sent.

Blavkmaann:
Please VFS mail box is full how do we send consent form mbok

Thank you. So were you able to pay with ease because someone said their payment portal is not functioning?

Dora14:



Book via mobile app
It’s wayyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper
What I did

Thank you. Please can you share their office address and what you mean by on hold. Also, do you know if they have flight insurance.

robot001:


Book directly from the airline, it will be cheaper. But I don’t think their payment portal is working properly so you might have to go to book on hold and pay at their office.

Please people that booked Ethiopian airline did you book directly from the airline or used an agent. Please help
