No for biometrics. Please someone answer mešŸ„ŗ

Your inquiry is a bit confusing. Which letter have you received after submitting your application?
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by bigtalla(m): 9:10pm On Aug 10, 2023
When did you do your Biometrics and why didn't you include the Biometrics slip?

dkgetmuny:
Resent my passport today after it was returned for lack of the Biometric Slip. 30 days windows has elapsed.

asking again if anyone has had to deal with submitting after the expiration of the 30 day window??
Romance / Re: I Broke Up With My Cheating Boyfriend. by bigtalla(m): 5:57am On Oct 26, 2020
The word ā€œcheatingā€ is only applicable to married couples. Please, you and your boyfriend are fornicating and there is no brideprice or legal document binding both of you. If you or him needs to fornicate with someone else, please feel free.. The punishment is still the same.
Ladies, until you get married, nobody is cheating on you. So poster, shut up and go get another guy to fornicate with.

Hello house, thought to come give back. Got back from my 3rd and final birthing journey with my family on Friday 26th April. For details about my visa application and related stuff please check my previous post.

Flew Lufthansa to Toronto early February alone, POE was a tad intense in spite of the fact that I got my visa for birthing purposes but I came prepared and was stamped in for 6months. Stayed in an airbnb and only moved out to another accomodation just before my fam(husband and 2kids) got in a month later.

I used Scarborough Birchmount Hospital, Ontario and Dr. Jing Qin was my OBGYN. Paid 2423CAD as hosp fees for 24hr hospital stay. (Mother 1600CAD, Baby 800CAD, Labs 23CAD).
Dr's fee was 1500CAD, 1st visit 200CAD, Subsequent visits 80CAD per visit. She didn't accept my tests and scans from Nigeria and ordered fresh bloodwork, a swab and an ultrasound scan.These came to about 250CAD.

EDD was March 24th, My Dr prescheduled me for induction on March 22nd if nothing happened before then. Had a false labour episode March 19th and went to L&grin. Was checked and sent back home and wasn't billed for the service. 2am on March 22nd, fell into labour and rushed to the hospital again. Was checked and told I was still a long way off and to just wait for my Dr to come start the induction in the morning. At that point I had to ask for my epidural as the pain was already doing my head in. Long story short, 5mins after the nurse just checked and told me I was only 3cm dilated, baby boy showed up. The anesthesiologist didnt even make it to me. Delivery(or what was left of the event), placenta Delivery, stitching up were taken by the Dr on call.

The epidural was supposed to be 800CAD.

Was roomed in with the baby in a private room and discharged officially 24hrs later. Baby's blood was drawn 24hrs after his birth for a myriad of tests to be carried out, routine state mandated health practice in Canada. Only the bilirubin levels results are ready in an hr and they came back great for my baby so I was free to go home with him.
Asked to have his circumcision done but unfortunately, they didn't do circs at that particular hospital campus but they provided me with a list of Dr's who did. We eventually had it done about 5days later for 250CAD.
We were given information on the birth registration (5 in 1 bundle) at the hospital and got on it soon as we could. We ordered the long BC (35CAD), short BC(25CAD) and certificate of birth registration (20CAD), a total of 80CAD and they came in the mail about 5working days later. a
Next we went to the passport office with baby's passport photographs duly signed by a guarantor as required. Paid 107CAD and picked the passport up 2days later.
Did Visa on Arrival, paid 180USD for our daughter who doesnt have a Nigerian Passport yet and 95CAD for the baby.
Overall, it was a great trip with the only snag being that they refused my mum's initial visa application (story for another post) but hubs and I managed to make it work with 2young kids and a new baby.
We used Uber for almost all our transportation needs and managed to rake up quite a sum in total transportation costs. A rented car would have been a cheaper alternative but we both had only expired driver's licenses.
Also I heard that the hospital I used have recently reviewed their prices upwards so interested mums please do your due diligenve.
I'm super grateful to God for making our path smooth and bringing us back safely and praying divine success for everyone on here.
Hopefully I didnt leave out any detail. All the best with your plans everyone.

Thanks for taking out your time to write this. I would like you to kindly explain/describe the issues/challenges you faced at the POE..

Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigtalla(m): 8:54pm On May 05, 2019
Good evening all. I am a bit confused. I applied and submitted my visa application online last week. I booked for my biometrics and selected Ikeja office. However, i noticed that my biometrics booking confirmation mail mentioned that the TLS office is now at a particular address in VI.
My question is that, is the IKEJA TLS office no longer functional? My appointment is for Tuesday the 7th of May and i need your urgent response.
Thank you in advance.

So long u submitted online, u won't be requested to submit ur passport on the day u give your biometric.

Expect passport request if your application is successful.

Thank you so much.

Guys, did you really watch the video? I didnā€™t see any sign of rape atall. I think he tried to snatch her bag but was repelled... Putting a rape charge (based on the video evidence) is rather too harsh.
Anyway, crime is crime

Gossiplover:
Bloggers please stop stop this poor reportage. what do you want us to do with this news. Do you know how many graduates are doing menial jobs in Nigeria.. even some graduates are armed robbers. I am still wondering why we should celebrate a graduate that is selling fruits. If she doesn't hustle , hunger go finish am.

May God bless her hustle very much but this is nonsense and not news worthy


I wish you could elaborate what ''hustle'' actually means in your context.. I graduate who sells oranges and pays her bills and probably the bills of other relatives is not hustling? She may start a brand tomorrow from this little business.. Not all billionaires started their ''hustle'' big.. As for your anger towards the reporter, it may not be news-worthy to you, but can be a huge encouragement to someone else.. Just ignore any article you think is not news-worthy.. my 1 cent
