Either get a friend or relative with an international card to help out and you pay naira or open a Dorm acct in Nigeria, buy dollars from black market and load of your card.

In my case, got someone to fund my BoA account and I paid her in Naira. It's what she does. She also helps people make international payments I believe...

Great job you guys are doing.Apologies to ask this question. No harm intended, i'm not Nigerian so don't know the situation inland but I see a lot of people suggesting to buy dollars from "black market" ie through unofficial channels like individuals etc I suppose. Why this route? Is getting dollars from the bank/forex bureau difficult, or is it a way to avoid their high charges and get more dollars for your Naira? The only reason I would be compelled to go to the black market is when I want to change dollars and get a higher rate because of the lower rates of the forex/banks. Even that is not a norm, I believe most people in my jurisdiction deal more with the official market than black market. Some clarity will be appreciated

Thank you all.....

I hope to meet you next year when we come as PRs (IJN) we'll most likely be staying in Oakville for a while..

Happy settling..

Hello everyone.

I have a question please. I have a PCC from Georgia, a non English speaking country. I had it translated by an authorized Georgian translator. Is this sufficient enough or are there approved agencies where this must be done?

Don't put the cat before the horse. Apply and make payment for your ECA first. Thereafter complete the application form. Scan and fax the signed application form and other docs (degree, passport data page or driving license, checklist) to IQAS fax number (there are lots of free online fax services just google). Complete your portion of the transcript request form and send to your contact to give them in school to complete their portion and add to the transcript package before sending to IQAS. CHIKENA!!!

Yes oo...we May AORs

No Banks in Nigeria will sell dollars to you except it's for PTA or BTA (Personal / Business Travel Allowance)and you must have a valid visa and ticket to the country. So, most people go to the black market to purchase and fund their dorm accounts.

Yooku:


Great job you guys are doing.Apologies to ask this question. No harm intended, i'm not Nigerian so don't know the situation inland but I see a lot of people suggesting to buy dollars from "black market" ie through unofficial channels like individuals etc I suppose. Why this route? Is getting dollars from the bank/forex bureau difficult, or is it a way to avoid their high charges and get more dollars for your Naira? The only reason I would be compelled to go to the black market is when I want to change dollars and get a higher rate because of the lower rates of the forex/banks. Even that is not a norm, I believe most people in my jurisdiction deal more with the official market than black market. Some clarity will be appreciated

cheapphones:

I literally screamed when I saw this, someone would think it's my ppr, congratulations man you have such a good heart. All the best.
Me still waiting on lautech for eca.

Hello Fellow medical doctors in the house, pls help with this question. My friend got her ITA last draw with a CRS of 456. She was given 50 points in skill transferability for two or more post secondary degrees. She only has a medical degree straight from secondary school and no bachelors degree prior. Is this the usual or is this a mistake?

Thank you

CONGRATULATIONS guys, truly excited for you @drhopeful @40manlappy and @Gquest

A big congratulations on your PPR guys! Happy COPR and happy landing @drhopeful @40manlappy @merrymum A.K.A Merrilicious mom and @Gquest.

Your message touched me. Thanks. Congratulations

So to the guys at AOR, Med passed, IP1/2, PPR congratulations to you, may God see us all to the end. More importantly, to the guys who have had one challenge or the other, keep pressing, check, re-check and re-fire your documents to cic, your canny dreams is just around the corner.

Thank you all.
