For each child:
-Consent letter notarized
-Birth certificate
-Last school result (confirmable on school website with name and )
-Upfront medical
-Vaccination card
-Casual pictures with Dad, pics with mum and siblings.

Proof of fund:

- Trucks ownership documents
- port, previous port showing visas pages for Dubai with family, Europe.

We used the new portal and did not have to send any email for reminders; the timeline just worked perfectly as we prayed that God should touch the heart of the persons handling it. We only sent webform about 2 weeks into the application adding: deed of assignment and my wife’s medical ( we omitted initially).

I think how and what you fill in the form matters, and also the how you write your SOP and letters. Everything just has to correlate (there are very important things that one should establish no matter your situation). You can use what you have truthfully, carefully and well orchestrated to obtain a favorable result.

congratulation Boss

So for how much did you book yours?
Less than a million and without layovers in countries that require Transit Visa.

I just book on their website, I wan pay later today.

johnstan:


Ok great, I'm not sure how you got to this option though so I can't say.
I paid in their office physically here in Lagos via bank transfer and it was booked.

Oh chill, if it's travel document they are asking, choose port

Yea, it was less than a million with no stopovers in countries that require transit visas.

I think the booking without payment lasts for 24 hours so be sure to check that.

thanks a lot I studied computer science in my Bachelors can it still fly?

technix:
It depends on how you write the story. If your experience or future plan is related to Interactive Media Design and your bachelor's degree isn't Media Design, you should be able to weave a compelling story.

Goldentony2nice:
Hello Johnstan,

Please what’s Ethiopian air address in Lagos?

I keep seeing flights ing through Washington(USA) to Toronto online. I don’t think my family can through US.

Here,
No. 3 Idowu Taylor St., Victoria Island, Lagos

mizchoco:


No. It covers both for living expenses for the 2yrs which is 20kcad as well as extra 4kcad plus the 44kcad for tuition = Total 68kcad.

while the 50kusd online conversation to cad is greater than the total amount (68kcad).

With this explanation, pls what's your advice @johnstan and everyone. Thanks again.

Forgive me if this is a personal issue. Please which organization gave you student loan worth 50KUSD? Or is Mpower?

mizchoco:

With this explanation, pls what's your advice @johnstan and everyone. Thanks again.

Ok, if the loan covers your tuition and living expenses then go ahead, if it covers only one of the two then you will need extra.
It's always a good format to explain how the POF would be spent so the vo wouldn't base their judgement on assumptions.

Thanks a lot.

You would be added. Saw your dm. Will respond.

Please which is faster? Sending port to Abuja or Lagos?

skylar2020:
Please which is faster? Sending port to Abuja or Lagos?

Where did you do your biometrics? I think Abuja does most of the stamping now.

Peace

Just want to be sure I am going for a good deal before I make payment.

Where are you flying to in Canada?
I saw less than a million naira flights but to Toronto.
And Toronto is far from Kelowna... it's only Vancouver that is closer, hence the use of Vancouver Airport as destination.

johnstan:

LANDING GIST

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE DATES

PPR: Oct 21
Flight ticket purchased: Oct 27 to fly Dec 12
port submission: Oct 31 to VFS Lagos

After submitting my port, the long wait began. VFS sent a message on Nov 17 that my port has been dispatched to the embassy. That is 17 days after submission with no explanation whatsoever. Nov 30, still no update from VFS though IRCC replied on the 28th that my port was in queue for printing. At this point, I was not sure what to believe. I was feeling concerned and stressed out. I thought my port was probably missing. That's a whole month without collection mail.

Dec 5, yet no update. I ed my pastor and he said we needed to fast and pray for three days starting from the 5th. We concluded the fasting on the 7th and he said I should not worry and that my port would be sorted before the end of the week.

Next day, Thursday Dec 8, I got a message from IRCC that my application has been finalized. I started getting messages from VFS. The last one was that my port has been dispatched to my VAC. In anticipation of getting pickup mail from Lagos VFS, I went to their office the next day which was Friday. Got there late though so I wasn't attended to.

Friday ed yet no pickup mail from Lagos VFS. my flight is 12th (Monday). At this point, I decided to reschedule my flight since I hadn't gotten any pickup mail. Next day (Saturday), I went to Ethiopian Airlines to reschedule. They said they only had business class seats available through the year because all their flights had been fully booked. I inquired about the cost of rescheduling and the lady said over 500k. Omo I told her not to bother. Who has that kind of money?

I decided to go to Lagos VFS on Monday for collection despite not getting any pickup mail. I just believed my port was there.

Dec 12, I went to VFS. Lo and behold, my port was there. Lol. I collected it and drove straight to the airport. I made my flight and now I am in Canada.

I am just grateful to God. Those of us expecting from Him, will not be disappointed.

Good day, please for my study visa application, I have initiated my FORM A. Can I use the print out of the FORM A for study permit application? The money has not been debited yet from my but has been initiated. Will it fly?

Good afternoon house

Please, do I need to take my kids along for biometrics...they are ages 7 and 9. I applied for study permit for them

Choose an arrival airport close to your location and you will be fine. I don't think you would want to arrive at a province/location and start another journey to another province/location cos you booked a cheaper flight.
Someone here said he got a good deal for like a little over 800k like a page or two before this page. If you're still considering cost your might want to quote the post for him to shed more light.

congratulation how was the POE, hope much question was asked

Who reviews SOP here? A friend needs his reviewed. Help appreciated

CindyByFine:
My Japa Family,
@Relaxingend @Johnstan,

This is the only Ethiopian flight that is not stopping over at Chicago.

This one is ABUJA to ADDIS ABABA to TORONTO to VANCOUVER,BC.
Then he will do local flight ✈️ from Vancouver to Kelowna.

What are we to select here?

Hi,

Someone helped me book my Ethiopia airline flight, so I didn't come across this. But if it's travel document type they're asking of, then it should be port.

Congratulations.
Were you later sent your LOI as expected and was covid vaccine card requested for by Nigerian immigration.

boye14:
Good day, please for my study visa application, I have initiated my FORM A. Can I use the print out of the FORM A for study permit application? The money has not been debited yet from my but has been initiated. Will it fly?

No, it won’t fly because you will need your tuition payment receipt from your institution to apply with.

Peace

Hello house, please I need an answer to this question. My children got PPR along side with my husband after submission at vfs, we recieved msg from IRCC requesting for their medical a which we have done upfront before applying, so we send them emails and webforms explaining they have upfront medical.fortunately it was updated after two days. My question now is there status has changed from the approved it was after receiving PPR to processing. Are we going to receive another PPR or they will proceed with finalizing the decision since their port is still with them. Thanks as I await your response

johnstan:

Yea. They sent the LOI the next day after finalizing my application. Honestly, they didn't ask for the COVID card. But I just handed my port with my own vaccine card together. It would just be best to have it to be on a safer side.

pufframmy:
congratulation how was the POE, hope much question was asked

They didn't ask us questions. Probably because there were many students who arrived that day. They just printed out the study permits and handed them out.

Yes, it's for both tuition and living expenses as well.
Yeah exactly, I get your point.

Thanks so much for your responses. It was really helpful! Pls how do I communicate with you directly?
