Ambeyh: yh man

Ambeyh, how far now, i don ask of u... Shay u don dey settle down small small sha...

@britiko...

Congrats ooooo, its definately the lords doing.. U beta start packing. Abeg pack well, its been extremely cold this week. Cold as in extremely cold... Its a sign its definately going to be a wonderful year for you and your family.... All the best in Canada.

Nice one britiko.. Jesunro u are next ooo.. To all TRV awaitees pls start emailing cdhc ooo, most skools here are not starting classes till Jan 6th or Jan 13th oo, so there still time. if you know you've done your meds, pls kindly email them ASAP since they've discontinued storming. Abeg has anyone heard from Ambeyh? He said he was flying out 31st.. he suppose don reach na, aby cold don hold am?

Tmish: I did my medicals December 5th at Children's practice. My resumption date is meant to be January 2nd. I clearly cannot even meet up with the date anymore. Still hopeful sha if I hear the good news this week, I'll confirm from the school if I can still join this session. If not then it's till May.

Ah bros, no give up just like that now, if u did Meds at CP on Dec 5th, then ur meds should have been sent to the embassy. email them and quote your IMEI stating that you want to know the status of your medicals. and am sure they will surely tell u if it has been sent to the embassy or not. Their email is info@childrenspractice.com. Skools dey open Jan 2nd doesnt mean classes are starting same day, most of dem are having the first few days for orientation and then start lectures by Jan 6th or 13th, so you can still meet up. I will advice u beta start packing...

sparta_300: Happy new year people! Pls forgive my absence thus far, been trying to settle down (bank acct, phone, accommodation...)

Quantumfisika: Hi guys...I wanted to change some money to dollars today preparatory for my trip. D guy told me 1dollar is 172. ormo my eyes popped out. Tried anoda place...dey said dias is 170...bt mehn..its still expensive. Pls how can I get dollars at a fairly reasonable price? Is gettin it from d airport in Lag gona b relatively cheaper?

I also considered using my UBA master card n withdrawing the money in Canada. What I dont know is how much does banks charge..specifically UBA for withdrawing money from atms outside naija....tanks guys as I luk forward to una responses...

Pls go buy for bank whay u get account with. Just tell dem u want to buy BTA, go with ur passport and ticket. they will sell for u at bank rate and max u can buy is 4kusd. At least u will save quite much buying that first. Dat is if ur not sure of ur UBA mastercard ooo.

Dr_Jay02: Hello house,

kike100: Hi all, I am new on this thread. Please is there anyone who is going for a Masters in strategic HR in Canada? Also I welcome highly recommended schools that offers it and not too expensive.
Sorry if I seem to be dragging you back
Thank u

You can try York Uni, but he cost ooo. I also wanted Masters in HRM but had to settle for PGD first so as to come in and look arnd before proceeding to masters. So i would advice if u dont have much funds, u can come in with a pgd and then proceed to masters later on.. Just suggesting though..

matty20: have done my Med early Dis month.... Am not sure If consultants practice Av uploaded my medical result ..And Av been calling der number since nobody pick. please help me what can I do....I also mailed cdhc If d hospital hv uploaded my results der told me my application is under review...... don't knw what to do please any advice?

Since dey said its under review, then its under review. U can check back right after 3-4weeks u did ur meds with CP, and if they tell u it has been sent to the embassy, then happily storm there and collect ur trv. u can ask sis britiko for the doctor's number at CP, i tink she's got his direct line.

Amefrica: Is this supposed to be a joke?

Answer am na... ask Chrigo, he has gotten worse questions than this....
