LANDED NAIJA APPLICANT PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERINCE

Thanks a zillion for the response, it follows my line of thinking... +1 for you ;D

My take, if you are landing with the family a one way ticket should be better for all and upon arrival you can book a return ticket for the round off trip back to Naija after the 6 weeks stay if you know your exact return date, that is exactly how I made my trip when I landed. Besides you can't benefit from the IOM discount offer after first landing.

Be aware that you are not likely to get your PR card before returning to Naija and would required a travel document from the Canadian High Commission in Naija to re-enter Canada if you don't have your PR card with you. I did exactly that because I stayed six weeks too for the round off exercise in Naija. Though the PR card came exactly 8 weeks after landing but not in hand for use.

Cheers

Thanks for the response... Guess what ? i gave you your first +1 ;D 8)

The "best airline" considering all your factors is actually relative. In terms of safety, from my experience of previous travels, Western(North America), European(not including Eastern Europe) and Middle Eastern airlines are very very safe. KLM, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, British Airways, Virgin Atalantic, Qatar etc. But Emirates and Turkish Airlines are known to charge heavily for excess luggage.

I prefer KLM to Canada just because I like their service better but that is only me. The others are great too.

In terms of return or one way tickets, well I would advice that you book a return ticket from the get go here in Nigeria. If you observe you will notice that the difference in fare between a one way ticket and return is next to nothing. I recently booked a return ticket to Calgary through KLM for a family of five(2 adults, 2 children and 1 infant) for NGN1,090,000.

All the best as you ponder and decide.

Happy valentine may we all find love in this season and many seasons to come!!! Yours sincerely landed on the 13th of Febuary 19:30 GMT at Pearson International Airport. Journey was quite smooth, we left Abuja 9am with British Airways arrived London about 3pm We left Heathrow about 5.30pm and arrived Toronto 7.30pm Canada time.

Please be mindful of the scale you use in weighing your luggage at home as mine misled us and we ended up paying so much for excess luggage!!! Also please remember the exact locations your IPad and laptops are as we waisted another 30mins at the security gate in Heathrow because I forgot to bring out one of the IPad from my hand luggage another round of detailed checking took place even when I told them we have just about an hour for the next flight I was still delayed. The lesson here is to know where all the devices are and put them on a separate tray at security.

Flight was fun all thru as hubby and I took time to watch a movie while the kids were awake with excitement all thru the flight trust them it was one cartoon after the other!!!

We were well received by the custom officials, we told them how much we were carrying as proof of funds but they never bothered to check, our luggages were not checked also. It was smiles all around until we got outside the airport and the cold winter air welcomed us in it's own way.

Would be out today doing the needful and would keep you posted.

The forum is a blessing and am glad I found it, was with Seglad yersterday and would be together again today to do the needful. The list is endless but would in time acknowledge everyone's effort particularly that of the landed seniors I doubt if any one has disturbed them with calls from Nigeria like I have done always asking questions!!! Thanks for your patience. Thank you Pa Seglad, Oloye, TiTo, OmoGe, Shalom, Fernandez, Indan, Fatex and many more that would follow!

God bless Nigeria!!! God bless Canada.
