Fusion23 et all,

Can someone assist with this query.
Thanks

Hi sorry for the late reply..please use oanda..attached it to your pof ..
thats what i did, i merged all together with pdf merge..see sample within.

SlowlybtSurely:


You can either get PTA from banks or Travelex. It's a long thing, so brace up. Only few banks give and with special conditions. I was able to get 2k from Stanbic some months back with plenty wahala and another 2k from travelex.

Please what was the rate.....have you landed in Canada already?

Fusion23:

Shuu! Land ke? Me wey dey beg you for voodoo moves so my application can fly fast?

It was for another trip. Stanbic gave me at #400 to 1USD. Travelex gave me at #377 to 1USD. Note that this was 3 months ago.

bbidakin:



Ask for the form in the banking hall..Find below the requirement:

International passport bio data page of traveller;

·         A valid visa or other eligible entry documentation where necessary;

·         A valid return air ticket (not flight reservation); however the CBN guidelines provides for specific cases where one-way tickets are acceptable;

·         Bank Verification Number (BVN) of applicant;

·         Stanbic IBTC Bank account number (applicants details only) to be debited;

·         Valid telephone number where requester could be contacted upon availability to honour request.

 

they give cash right?

Thanks to the person(s) that raised, and answered the PTA question. I now know about it. But please, is it available for people on student visa too and is it restricted to some banks?

Hey... Was this on the CIC website? I believe they would have sent messages to everyone. Can't find it on the website either.

Bumped into this. Still trying to decipher what this means. Says if submitting application after 31st of January, upfront medicals not to be done..till requested for .............seems one can no longer copy and paste a web link here.

BADNEAT:
please sent you a pm ,but you can reply here ..what's the process involved in getting pta from stanbic?

Stanbic. . .Hmmmm. . . Let's just say I shouldn't have bothered. Cos the stress wasn't worth it at that rate.

First they said I had to open an account with them. I did. Later they said I had to run it for minimum of 2 months before applying and that I must apply 3 weeks to my trip. Again, I complied. Oya gimme the thing kwanu. One week, nothing. Two weeks, for where. Two days to my trip nkor. Didn't hear from them. I was on my account officer's neck.

When I still didn't hear from them a day to my trip, i went to their head office early mormor and occupied it. They suggested I go home and only come when I receive a call from them. I insisted I was going nowhere. 4pm knack, dem no look my face. They said they had closed, I say i no dey comot without any money. Finally, at about 5pm, they pitied my soul and gave me 2k, not without telling me how lucky I was.

Documents you will need to apply are:
-Passport data page
-Visa page
-Airline ticket
-Funded account

Yes. Prospective students can get PTA.

Only Stanbic, Stanchart and Access banks were giving PTA as at 3 months ago and all with special conditions. Usually a savings account with the said bank run over the course of 2-6 months.

that's crazy ..I no do

Osemigho:


Student visa applicants use medical and police report. Can same documents submited for student visa be used for EE too?

Are you trying to ask if you can apply for student visa and express entry at the same time?

You need to submit police report from all the countries you've lived in for more than 6 months, and also you should submit the medical report when requirred(preferably at the point of submitting the PR application).

You should leave this now, first focus on getting a good IELTS score and enter the pool in order to get an Invitation to Apply for PR.

Yes. In Abuja and Lagos. Used their MMA2 Lagos office.

@SlowlybtSurely did you see my earlier post replying someone that posted some info about medical exam?

Have you heard about same info?

I saw it. Was waiting for a response from her.

I'm hoping that doesn't mean applications submitted after Jan 30th will take longer to process seeing as there won't be upfront medicals.

Let's see what she says.

Yes. Packaging my application now.

You cannot get USD from travelex before the day of your trip because you will have to go with your boarding pass and you only get your money at the boarding gate just before you board.

Infact, i didnt get my money till we were already boarding. I had to meet their staff halfway to collect the money and ran back to board. Almost missed my flight.

Also make sure you have your BVN card ready. They won't sell to you without it.

@dupyshoo & all with experience with this. it's been a great time here reading and getting informed. Please i have some questions and clarification. We live in dubai.My husband got new brunswick nomination from the dubai session held last year and then an ITA last week, both came a day apart. For POF we have a 3 options.
1. We have a zurish saving of long term savings but withdrawable at any time. Statement can be requested here?any more supporting docs required?
2. We want to get some money deposited in his nigeria account as sale of an already evaluated property in nigeria-what documents do we need to attach here please?
3. We had earlier made huge transfers to someone last year and want to use same persons account to pay into my husbands as return of borrowed funds and then my salary account statement too. What documents of proof is needed here

Can we use both accounts in nigeria and dubai as pof? Will each account have an LOE attached, as the deposits will come as bulk sums?
Also can the zurish savings be used along with these deposits in both the nigeria and our dubai accounts?

Kindly help with these please. Thanks alot

Can somebody please answer me, first time asking and no response yet

Any of the options work as long as:

1. The accounts are in the name of the principal applicant (PA)
2. You have documents to show evidence of sale of properties
3. You can prove the source of the large funds transferred to your account.

There is a separate section to upload LOE, so you can have one letter explaining the whole situation and upload it. However, the proof of sale(s) (receipts and all) and bank statements should be uploaded in the POF section.

Hope this helps... All the best!

Osemigho:

I just read that you can, although the applications will be treated differently ,therefore you must submit all the documents necessary for each application separately.

This is under the sponsorship program for spouses, partners and dependants. There is so much info updated on the cic site that it could get confusing a lot of times. We have to carefully cross check the category of persons and class of program the new rules apply to.

i called Children's practice and consultants now and they said upfront medicals has been stopped since December last year. they said the process now is that you submit your application without medicals, then cic will send medical forms to you later and then you can take that with you to the hospital. Pls anyone else can confirm this, hope i didn't misinterpret what i heard.

Mr temitope06 been trying to reach you but the site won't send my request. Can you kindly send me a request please?

hmmm. for non EDE class?
