NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK.

[Busy B]

congrats Busy-Bee, may Canada favour you by Gods grace

@ Ekundapsy, you can get PTA from First bank, that is only if you do not have their master card ATM Card. if you do they wont sell to you. Alternatively you can ask the CSO in the bank to cancel your card details and make it invalid then they sell to you. if its the local verve card you have you dont need to cancel that.

@ Ig, how did the event at Sizzlers go? i just couldn't make it my day was so busy. trust it went well

Nope, I operate a current account with a master card with First Bant and got my full PTA.

@ ekundapsy,I had $ 16,000 cash on me and no one asked if I had cash on me although I kept it in my hand luggage and while they physically checked they found no cash on me. With all you have enumerated I strongly believe you will have a seamless landing experience. Above all fret not The Lord had gone ahead of you to Glorify Himself because it's all about HIM.

I congratulate all my wonderful people that had updates, and to those still expecting, I want to encourage you to keep the hope alive because it's worth it.

The Lord's promise for me and my dream of over 24 years eventually came to past on the 12th of December, 2013 when I historically landed in the world best country as a Permanent Resident/Citizen.

I left Lagos on Wednesday nite, 20:45 Naija time with two of my daughters (Personal Assistants Admin & Operations) with Etihad airline. We got to Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirate Capital) 2:15am Naija time/7am UAE time (6hrs 30mins flight), we had a waiting time of 3hrs 25mins. Our flight to Toronto took off from Abu Dhabi 10:25am UAE local time, we were in the air for 13 hours 11mins, we finally landed 3:45pm Toronto time. My heap of luggages were like that of "Coming to America", thank God the whole family did not come at once the rest member of my family will be coming next week with 13 luggages lol, all together we had 6 extra luggages.

We headed straight to the immigration section where our documents were verified, the immigration officer asked how much I had on me, I told her the $s I had and the rest in my naira account which she noted on my declaration form given to us in the plane to fill when we were almost landing. As immigrants, we were directed to another Immigration Officer who checked our passports, cancelled the visa page, collected the COPR forms and told us to expect our PR Cards in 6 weeks time. We also had our Social Insurance Number (SIN) the same day. After collecting our luggages, the Custom Officer we met asked of the contents, he asked if we had meat, chicken and wood related items, he also asked how much I was holding after which he told us welcome to Canada. At the end, after leaving Nigeria for 23 hrs 45mins we finally stepped on soil of the much coveted Canada city as Permanent Residents/Citizens to the Glory of GOD. Toronto airport weather is very deceitful because it was highly regulated, by the time we eventually stepped out of the airport, low and behold we had -8 degrees cold waiting for us, it was not funny at all. I am presently in the snow having a full day, my people this is a place to behold. As early as 4:45pm it is already getting dark, don't let me give you the whole gist. The long distance between Canada and Nigeria shows the great wide difference between the two countries.

To all reading my story, everybody will read your own story too in Jesus Name, no matter how long the wait, when God moves, as a living testimony I am telling you it's always worth the wait. The Lord will give you reasons to rejoice this season and time in Jesus Unfailing Matchless Name, Amen.

May our God bless our very own Ma Ig, we will all rejoice with you soonest in Jesus Name, Amen. I hand over the baton to the likes of the great Ikemba, Gabil, Polestar1 and et al, fret not the Lord had gone ahead of you all because the coast is clear.

Busy-Bee

Congrats Busy B on your successful landing in the country of our dreams, Canada. I wish the rest of your family safe flight to Canada in Jesus name. Amen.

Good to be mindful of the timelines provided by some forumities (which at times look funny and incorrect to say the least) - although observation not found in Naija blog.
Please be guided carefully and accordingly - before comparing your timelines with others - to avoid unnecessary doubt and stress on you

Thanks so much for making all that clarification, Busy Bee.....
Here's what I think I''ll do:
1. I will get PTA when I'm going. This amount will be with me on the trip. (By the way, which bank does that now? I learnt GTB is no more doing PTA.)
2. I will leave the rest of the money in my GTB naira account and take my MasterCard with me.
3. I will print an account statement from my GTB account and also take it along, to the landing process.
4. I will take along my tablet, I guess there will be WiFi in the airport.
5. When I get to the POE, I will show them my money if asked, and tell them that the rest is in my account, accessible with my MasterCard, and I plan to move the money once I open my account.
6. If they insist, I will show them the statement of account I brought with me.....
7. If they insist, I will login on line into my GTB account and show them the balance and online account statement.
8. If they insist, there must be zn ATM machine somewhere in the airport, from which I can access my card....
9. I don't think they'll insist after that..... :-X ;D
Of course, top of the list is a 7 day fasting and prayer, binding and casting out session carried out with family.....lol

I'm quite scared of taking such a large amount of money through MMIA.......with customs officials hungry for anything, and the stories of mugging and theft in the departure lounges when people declare a large sum of money, I don't think it's worth the risk. Besides, I'm sure that as long as the immigration officer at the POE is convinced that the money is accessible to you, there shouldn't be a problem......others should comment, pls.....

@ekundapsy, sent you a PM.
