A few things I wish IOM stated as instructions before I went:
1) Print your appointment confirmation from home so you don’t have to queue up to print at the car park. I thought a soft copy would be sufficient but it wasn’t
2) Pay for the medical before your appointment (at least one working day beforehand) and also print the proof of payment
3) When you get there, show the security men your appointment printout and you’ll be let in
4) They’ll typically direct you to the side for Canadian Medicals and you’ll meet lots of people there. Sitting down isn’t your first priority but rather approach the security personnel handling the crowd and he’d ask you to check if your name is on the appointment list (howbeit redundant). Once you confirm on his list, wait for him to give you a tally/number tag
5) Once you’ve secured your tally, you’ll see an IOM staff with laptop. You’ll need him to confirm receipt of your payment so you’ll give him your printed proof of payment (with your name as it appears on the payment form clearly indicated).
6) While he’s confirming, listen for when your tally number is called. It’s called in batches e.g. numbers 40 to 55.
7) Once you hear your tally number, you’ll stand and be directed to the registration point which is an office. This is very crucial as you’ll get the IME printout you’ll scan and to your PR application here. They’ll confirm your port number, official name, take your picture, etc. The printout is key so keep it well.
cool After registration, a staff will write the room numbers you need to go to for each medical screening but people don’t follow that. Just be strategic and do the tests with minimal queues first and go back to the longer ones.
9) Price: I’m hesitant to state in case it has changed. It was 45k+ for adults but this is clearly stated on the website so check.

I hope this helps.

my wife was recently denied visa to the uk, I am filling the ITA form and the question below is being asked.

"Has XXXXXXXXX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

Should I just answer truthly, God will punish this UK guys, they denied her for no reason.
You guys just treat God like Amadioha or Sango. Interesting...

Disagreements are normal and our perspectives are different thus we may not agree on everything as you noted your 15 years experience is different from my 7-8 months encounters in Canada. It will be a great thing if people learn bits and pieces from each others experiences.
It is very painful to see people dissatisfied when they move to Canada with high expectations and get disappointed. I also faced a lot of disappointment in the GTA housing market and wished I read about people's encounter and prepared myself better. Kept extending my stay at an air bnb till I ended up spending 4 months at an air bnb (CAD12,000 +). Imagine if I had a wife and kids. Met two people who ended up renting a home (one at pickering and another Welland) at a place they didnt desire to live in but had to because they couldn't rent at more desirable areas. Boredom, loneliness and dissatisfied with couple blaming each other. Nobody likes to go down lower than where they are that's why companies retrench workers once the economy is in recession . Nobody likes to go from being a professional worker to a menial worker thus I like to encourage professional workers migrating from Nigeria to Canada to try to utilize all possible avenues to transition to a professional or better roles in Canada instead of accepting that its the norm to start as a menial worker.

On another hand systems are hard to come by among Nigerians in Canada thus the average nigerian moving to Canada needs to plan as well as possible. Glad I came to canada with enough money to finance my 4 month air bnb stay and deposit 3 months rent as a condo. Otherwise things would have been harder than it was
....I love your perspective to life....You have got a great and positive mindset..That has made the universe to align greatly in your favor.



Keep it up.....If say nay Ontario be my target,I for make out time to see you whenever I enter...but me dread Ontario despite it having a lot of jobs in my area of endeavors.I prefer the prairie region.

I have picked a lot of Positive points from your posts.

Thanks and keep firing.

hello, just to be clear on what you said, I have my ITA already, meaning my funds won't to be there for up to two months, will writing an LOE suffice?
the LOE should state how you got the money, for instance if it’s a bulk money state it’s a gift deed backed with evidence of gift deed affidavit. I added 5k usd and 1.6m naira to my savings after ITA. You can email me if you need more clarification.

Good afternoon all, I see that one can pay his/her express entry application (without right of permanent residence fee) @850cad. Please what are the implications of not paying the right of PR at the same time? Any experience I can learn from please?

Try doing it online. One of them requires you to pay before booking the appointment. I'll recommend Q-life though as its more organized with less crowd

If you can kindly pay the entire fee at once. If you pay only the processing fee they'll send you an email later in the process to pay the RPRF probably after your application is approved in principle

I haven't been outside GTA even hence I'm still not knowledgeable about the country. Been going more to USA (NYC, boston, chicago) where I have family with cheaper flights and zero accommodation expense. Travel within canada is expensive

I like his posts too, they are very motivating but in reality most Nigerians who wants to relocate won't have the privilege he did financial wise, educationally and even his connections too. The process and experience would be wayyy different which just "planning" might not cut it
Tldr: He was somewhat exceptional

Family of 3,

Payment of application fee.

I have some relatives in Canada.
Due to the High exchange rate. I am thinking a brother should help in the payment of the APPLICATION FEE from Canada. Hope that is safe?. Hope it won't cause any problem for me?

Can the brother give you his card details so you make payment yourself? I used my brother’s card details and then refunded him at the rate he buys CAD with NGN. The thing you want to avoid is someone else g for you.
