FSW 2014 applicants from Nigeria - Let's network

[fisobzy01]

Landing experience...

spent 24 hrs in total on the plane..
left lagos..1.45 pm (naija time)
landed toronto 3.pm (naija time)

long flight..with ethiopian airline.
stopped at dublin to refuel, only for the us to be delayed further when someone need an emergency medical examination due to high blood pressure.

Landing_____

rushed to passport control because 60% of us on the flight from all over the continent were arriving to get the landing procedures done (flight fully booked).
mine was a smooth one.. no questions asked. very friendly attitude..
I made sure i understood their culture context before flying down, so i decided to play along.
upon landing, carried all the hand bags, gave wifey all the documents to present while i do all the talking if questions were to be asked.
Told them i had 7k+USD in cash and the lady wrote on my copr 8k, smiling and saying we need to round it up(hope you don't mind sir).. i smiled saying its fine.
didn't ask for bank statement from me though i wanted to show it and she said no need.
Told her i needed to declare goods accompany me was my wife's box of jewellers..(women and Gold hen).
Got there, customs were not bothered..
they just asked if i was with less than 10k and i said yes and i told them i wanted to declare and the customs guys said you can go..
(My conclusion with customs and immigration.)
the already know who to question/quizz cos there are cameras everywhere and also dogs too, looking out for people who acted funny.
there were nigerians who landed with us and was quizzed like never before at immigration..
some indian family was on the edge of being sent back cos he lied that he forgot his bank statement back home..
Due to my flight experience to over 26 countries, i pleaded with wifey to stay and act calm.

(be honest even if its 2k you have on you just say it and let them know you have made arrangements for the rest of your funds. MOST IMPORTANTLY KNOW WHAT IS WRITTEN ON YOUR FORM)....

I have been a silent observer on this forum and I must commend the healthy and very helpful attitude of forum members. Am a Dec 18 applicant. PER, 6th March. Awaiting MR. I would just like to share on d forum what God told me in psalm 46:10. "Be still and know that I am God". He is definitely working behind d scenes on behalf of those waiting for updates. Amen!

 

[Mabertia]

Thank you house for the goodwill messages, it shall surely end in praises for all of us.

One quick question for members who have received MR and reside in Abuja. I was @ Abuja Clinics this morning and I got booked for medicals, however, their rates seem to have increased from 30kish (per adult) that someone mentioned here in the past. Today I was told by hospital officials it costs 48k (per adult). Please can any one confirm otherwise?

Just now as I was typing this mail I received a mail from ACCRAIMMIGRATION @ international.gc.ca with an invite to attend the Canada Orientation Abroad.
I return all the glory to God!
