List of banks barred froom forex transaction by CBN and their Gbese; don't apply for form A through dem for the payment of tuition for now until they are cleared;
United Bank for Africa (UBA) -$530m
First Bank of Nigeria (FBN)- $469m
Diamond Bank Plc-$287m
Sterling Bank Plc-$269m
Sky Bank Plc -$221m
Fidelity Bank -$209m
Keystone Bank- $139
First City Monument Bank (FCMB) -$125m
Heritage Bank-$85m

This doesn't affect FormA. The trade ban is for other transactions not international student school fees.

I got mail and a text message that my passport is ready for collection. Praise God.

What is the time period from when you got an approval email?

michV, Concordia university is in Quebec WC is French speaking province of Canada. Settling in Quebec after your program maybe somehow unless you can speak French. I will advice you to apply to university of British Columbia, its application fee free for now. You have nothing to loose they won't even ask for your original transcript until you are admitted. Also try ryerson and western university, they do admit students with 3.5 cgpa for their meng program. Ottawa is good too but they may ask for English Test if you have graduated for like 3 years. All the best.

@michv I wouldn't advice you tackle this issue from speaking french language angle. This should be more about what you want. As a matter of fact, if you can learn French, you become internationally bilingual and must have set yourself to becoming an international staff than someone that can speak only English. Did you know the Quebec government give bursaries/grants to learn French?

Accordingly, Montreal (the city where Concordia Uni and McGill Uni is situated) is the 2nd most diverse city in the world (after new york). The experience you'd get from the people you'd meet cannot be quantified.

There is more to why Quebec province is a win. However, as I mentioned earlier, this should be looked at from a 'want do I want' perspective

michV:

Good Afternoon;

I have been a silent follower of the thread. I will like to ask a quick question; I was sent an email telling me that I had a new message. I logged in to see that my application has been approved. However, I tracked on the VFS site and it still says that my passport is still being processed. Typically, how long does it take to get my passport back or have the status change on the VFS site?

Thank you

It takes about 5 working days to have sent from Accra to the vfs office.
