Good morning guys, Going through the discussions on this forum, it seems IT, accounting, medicine pathways are more frequently discussed. Lawyers in the house (landed PRs and hopefuls), can we be forthcoming with more detailed info like, the nature of legal practice in certain provinces, how to combine courses with similar course outline for ease of examination ...? The list is inexhaustible honestly. Is there any learned colleague that is writing Canadian Constitutional Law this year? I need people of interest on this issue of getting the required textbook by Peter Hogg, Constitutional Law of Canada, 2017 Student Edition (pdf version). Alternatively, please i would like to be added to the group of FTL lawyers currently preparing for NCA exams, if any, so that i don't bore or derail this thread. Happy Sunday everyone! 2 Likes |

Ejadike: How much it would cost you from start to finish would depend on one's personal circumstance. Kindly visit the below links, read up and fully digest the info there. You'd be better informed.

Guys, I'm currently looking at flying with BA because price is cheap. There would be a 9-hour layover @ Heathrow airport UK. I read somewhere that one needs a transit visa if passing through UK . As for me, i intend to stay put inside that airport for the 9hrs since the connecting flight is still in Heathrow. Do you still think I need the transit visa? |

Happy new month guys! I recently got COPR but not landed yet. I wish to do a short-landing in September i.e stay for 2months in Calgary before coming back to Nigeria to tidy up my affairs. I'm using the short stay to test the waters, write a couple of NCA exams for FTL ( foreign-trained lawyers),and most importantly, get my PR card before leaving. However, i have some concerns, maybe unfounded, about the following; 1. Does an officer at POE have access to one's itinerary to know if i intend going back? 2. what if in the event that I'm asked if I'm going back to Nigeria, how do i tactically maneuver ? 3. Will the officer refuse to process my PR card seeing that i plan to do short-landing? 4. Can I go ahead in paying for return flight ticket, or should I purchase one-way flight ticket? Prices are relatively cheap at the moment, but gradually increasing. Paying a one-way ticket isn't quite economical. Veterans in short-landing/landed seniors, biko help me out . Just a young dude trying to use one stone to kill 3 birds in the most economical way. First time experience. Apologies if this issue has been thrashed previously. |

Newmum0615: I guess their reasons are valid but honestly, this would add more pressure to the designated centres and PR applicants. So far, there are only two biometric collection points ( Abuja and Lagos vfs) in Nigeria. How can they effectively contain people trooping en mass just for biometrics ? And to think this includes people applying for visitor visa, study or work permit ( though for them it's once in 10 years ). While it's clear that biometrics is needed as a PR applicant effective July 31, 2018, what is however not clear is if one's application is refused initially, and the person decides to re-apply. Does that mean biometrics will be re-conducted (for a PR applicant) ? The new law is silent on that question. If the answer is Yes in the affirmative, that means "osetigo". Everybody should buckle up and be in the race against July 31 PR submission because Oyinbo talk say, na who dem use do lab rat, go remember to warn us for nairaland. Taink you. 2 Likes |

Newmum0615: In addition, buy t-bills for 3/6months. You'll earn money while waiting on CIC. P.S Hope you don't have numerous transfers between your savings and current accounts within the last 6 months ? If yes, best to declare both account statements. More-so, if the current account is your salary account. Cheers! 1 Like |

xtosync: Bro, the earlier you adapt in Canada, the better for you. In Canada, foreign certificates don't matter much . Even after completion of PHD in Nigeria, you'll still hustle in Canada as a learner because there is no Canadian experience. You can always earn money while pursuing your PHD in Canada (where education better pass Naija sef), not to talk of school loans you can access as well. Tbh, this is a no-brainer for me.

JESUSisable: Go with option 1. Par-adventure your bank can't issue bank draft in CAD dollars, let them issue in US dollars then . To put your mind at ease, you may seek further clarification on the issue of inability in raising bank draft in CAD dollars either by tweeting at them, writing them a mail asking if US dollars can be used in the alternative OR asking Aramex courier service ( Lagos, Nigeria) how people usually do it.

Maxxyfruit: An excerpt from one of your posts ... " my visa was revoked cos I used B1/B2 visa for child birth and made use of some insurance during child birth" . Two issues I've identified. (1) Use of B1/B2 visa for childbirth (2) insurance debt For No. 1, well, it might not be much of an issue ( could be an emergency delivery for all i care ) if No.2 is dealt with. It is contradictory to be indebted and claim you have the required POF. It would be better to pay up your debt because POF is such a crucial requirement in this process . CIC also requires that you state any outstanding debt. Where you explicitly state what you owe US gov't in insurance in your application without redeeming such, it counters your POF and when slashed against POF (assuming reviewing officer is lenient enough to do so) , you're short of POF requirement. On the other hand, being coy about the debt, may land you into misrepresentation because they'd definitely know. To be honest, take your time and pay the debt no matter how painstaking it might be . Failure of which, might raise the issue of insolvency (and credibility, if I may add) of PA. Cheers! 2 Likes |

stonecoldcafe: Did mine at vgc branch, Lagos. My bro did his in another state, entirely different.

SkyWalk12: Answer. 1)I'd suggest you submit your PCC (as it'll be ready tomorrow being feb. 14) alongside the additional travel history form. Don't forget to include a detailed LOE as the cover page. In the event PCC gets delayed before deadline, submit the additional travel history form with LOE stating the omission to include PCC in your application and steps you've taken in getting one ( you have to include receipts/stuff as evidence of steps taken) 2) I don't like to bother myself with such nuances. I'll simply submit on the 15th . whether PCC is available or not ( revert to answer 1). You don't even know if there might be a system glitch that period you want to beat deadline. Biko avoid stories that touch. 2 Likes |
