I am sorry, just saw this. It was at Alausa although I heard that booklets have become scarce again.

You can pm so that I send you a few s

Kmgb1:


Hi Jumdah20,kindly direct me to a port office that has available booklets even if we have to pay more. Pls its a bit urgent

Hi, I used Alausa

LaVieCestBonBon:
Hey, what port office did you renew....I've being trying to get Festac to issue me a new port since February...they keep saying no booklet.

Hi, I had the same issue and ppr landed just as we ed the 6 months validity. We had to quickly renew ports 2 weeks ago and submitted both old and new.
Don't worry, booklets are always available, you might just have to pay extra if it's an emergency. All the best

exquisef:
Hello seniors good day.

Please our ports expire in Sept and we are stilll awaiting ppr. We are trying to renew but as we all know there is booklet scarcity

Does any one know if we would be able to fly with our old ports containing copr and the new one or we would need to get our copr done again

Regards

[Wow, one really shouldnt jump to conclusions.

Hello, the lady doesn't live in Canada although her husband is Canadian. They met in England in graduate school and they live in Hong Kong. There's different backgrounds and contexts to everybody's story.

We should never assume we know.

As Ceemac said and also to add, get involved in your community. There are some things you may never know if you don't meet the right right people with the right information.

I was at this crossroads a few days ago. Ppr came and I had just exactly 6 months validity on port. I was so confused, I asked around. The best advice I got was to quickly renew port before submitting for copr and submit both old and new to vfs and that was what I did.

Hmm. Another option on traveling with an almost expired port - replacing your port and changing your visa.

It is not currently eferenced on page 1.

Thanks for all this information.
Quoting so i can easily find it.

Hi Phemmy, I know there's a centre in Ontario, I'm heading to Winnipeg, we don't have a centre there, so I would have to go to Ontario. I guess you might have to do that too.

Check ACCA website for the list of all centres

Cheers.

quote author=Tojued post=74624654]

Learner when your mates were doing 'bend down select' during university days you were buying from boutique, abi?

I think an ordinary wash usually gets the smell out. Those days you wash as usual, then spray perfume.
In these days of softener you could do a quick wash, and then extra rinse with softener.[/quote]

Thank you so much, please tell us in detail.

BORING LANDING GIST


We arrived at the MMIA, Lagos by 11am for a Toronto bound flight via Cairo with departure time of 2.25pm on Sunday 25th November. We had five checked-in baggage and two hand luggage with extra back pack and handbag cos we are family of three (Two adults, one infant). All baggage were for clothes and shoes because we decided to cargo our food items (Two bags, 50kg in total) since paying for extra two baggage will set us back by 110k via Egypt airlines. Looking forward to receiving the food items by next week.

We got to the check-in desk and each of the baggage weighed between 23.6kg to 25.9kg. We didn’t reduce the weight as we were asked to settle them for our bags to . All in all, we paid 3.5k to the overweight checked-in baggage and cabin luggage. Because of our little baby, we requested for Bassinet and we were provided with one when we boarded. Meanwhile, almost 20 family and friends followed us to the airport and after checking in, we went outside to take pictures and pray for the journey and new life in Maple land.

I declared all the cash (POF in Pounds sterling and $100 note) I have on me and I wasn’t questioned by any officer, everything went smoothly. When we got to the departure gate, we were told that our flight has not arrived from Egypt and we had to wait for some extra minutes. A flight meant to depart at 2.25pm departed at 3.10pm.

On board, we were served the first meal two hours after departure. We occupied two seats while the third seat was vacant, so we had space to put extra stuff and keep them away from the baby. We arrived Egypt after six hours and it was smooth. Had a stop over of 5 hours and we used that time to pray and relax. Neither free Wi-Fi nor good food was at the airport , we just sat there till it was time to board the Toronto bound flight.

We boarded the Toronto bound flight after ing through the security screening and the aircraft looks nice and clean. Our precious extension cable was collected from us. We were provided with a bassinet to put our baby after take-off but we didn't use it because our baby refuse to sleep in it. We just packed some stuff in it. First meal on board came and it was crap for me, had to just eat the meat and drink some juices. To be honest, the journey to Toronto was awesome (12 hours direct from Cairo) but the food was crap. Our baby didn’t allow my wife to rest because she continued suckling from an hungry mother. In all, we were served two times from Egypt to Canada which I believe was bad cos the distant was just too much. My greatest fear was when we were on Atlantic ocean for more than 4 hours, Canada journey is not easy. It requires prayer and patience you had before you got PPR.

We landed at exactly the scheduled time (7am on Monday), got to the first officer and we told her what we had on us. No dairy and meat. Proceeded to another office who asked us if we are landing today and we confirmed that. Collected our port, COPR and address to send the PR card and asked us told to sit for a while. I was afraid with so many things going through my mind. At last, he called on us to sign our COPR and we heard the golden word, you are now a PERMANENT RESIDENT.

We proceeded to an immigration service desk where they provided us with info about new immigrants programs and went to Service Canada to get our SIN number. We had to wait for like 10 minutes to get it sorted. We were welcomed to Canada in each desk with lovely smile. We proceeded to get our bags waiting on the carousel. From there, we moved to Customs where we declared our goods accompanying and following. I quoted CAD $5000 as food items am expecting and I was asked to sign the necessary documents. We carried over CAD $10k, we declared everything to the last #500 I had with me. When the custom officer converted #500 to Canadian dollars, she said that’s less than two dollars. He now asked me to tell her what that can buy out of curiosity. I told her that can buy my breakfast from a canteen and I will still have balance in Nigeria. She was surprised and at the end, she welcomed us to Canada again and we proceeded to exit.

I was expecting a friend to come pick me up to my temporary host's house but because I couldn’t get Wi-Fi to connect with, had to borrow phone from a nice lady who without objection gave us her phone to call. She was so nice and even wanted to share her mobile hotspot with us but the connection keeps breaking. We eventually took a taxi home and charged $40.

We couldn’t do anything on first day other than to eat, relax and sleep. We will be going out on Tuesday to get SIM card only cos me and my wife already have good phones that will work anywhere in the world. We will also open our bank and start the job hunting.

I don’t have anywhere in mind to stay permanently for now, getting a job will dictate that. However, I will prefer the Prairie region and the West provinces.
To landed seniors, kindly provide me with what I need to know and do during this first week, it must end in PRAISE.

I am staying temporarily at Etobicoke for maximum of two weeks by God's grace.


Kindly manage my boring story unlike Einsteino, who will hold you spellbound with his gist.

Wishing you all the best
