I believe the major problem here is the fact that you are living in your father's house. Your sister had the boldness to get into your room to do whatever she did because its her father's house, just the same way its yours. She will definitely come back to do worse because you cant stop her from coming. until you stop living there with your wife and son. She will respect you more when you stand up to your responsibilities as a man that you are............

the thing is very annoying especially this car called corolla 03,04,05 and 06. that is sold for 2m and above................haba.

Don't think this is true, I can help with the mathematics.

A GOOD 03-06 Corolla ranges between prices $1500 - $3000 (depending on the year, mileage and spec)

Lets use 2004 Toyota Corolla as our case study

Assuming our 2004 Toyota Corolla Cost $2200 (Average price with nothing to fix)

Riro/consolidated shipping costs about $1250 (Add Logistics and transport of $250)

Total $3700 * 380 (Black market exchange as at yesterday)

Then we have 1,406,000

Lagos Clearing 400,000

Total Cost: 1,806m (Without adding profit or other logistics in Nigeria) How much do you expect such dealer to sell

Note: this is a general cost assumption base on average market price, might be a bit more or less depending other factors.

The Sienna will be in Lagos ending of next month and we shall discuss the price when it has landed. A pre-order will take about 8 weeks to deliver in Lagos.

fordlover:
How much is the Sienna and when will it arrive Nigeria? How many weeks time?

Currently have an 06 Sienna en route Naija but you might have to do a pre-order for the F150, depending on how soon you want it.

fordlover:
1. I need a good truck and have settled for Ford F150 instead of Toyota Tundra bc to me F150 of same model & year is better than Tundra and the interior/exterior of F150 looks nicer than the Tundra. Newer models of F150 turns me on. So if you are a car dealer, importer, agent etc and you have Ford F150 please post offers here. Abeg dont tell me to contact you in private to avoid scams/dubious deals. I have money in hand and ready to close deal with a serious seller.

For the F150 I am looking for anything from 2010 model to 2014. If I see older models of 2007 to 2009 I can consider it if it has good mileage, good interior and in excellent condition but for me I prefer to buy 2010 upward.


2. I want to buy Sienna for my dad, I dont care what year the sienna is.

ALL vehicles must be direct tokunbo and never used in Nigeria.

Post pics of the car with prices, posting only car pics and telling me to call to discuss price means you are not serious. If you cannot write the price dont bother posting. Most car dealers do this here and its irritating. At least put a price it doesn't matter whether your price is high or low, if you put a price then I will call to discuss and negotiate on the price.

@Gazzuzz! Please what do you think about 04 Honda Civic base on economy and parts on Nigerian Road?

Hi everyone, Please what do you think about 2004 model Honda Civic for personal use in Nigeria? Is it a great car considering maintenance and durability? heard the parts are expensive...... Please advice

@dupyshoo! Thank you

dupyshoo:
I am no longer in Canada. Yet to decide the province to move to when I finally relocate to Canada. The deciding factor will likely be where job prospects are highest. I however love Saskatoon as it seems to be a lovely location to raise kids but it is not the ideal place to be for my profession.

Oh ok! Sounds reasonable, I'm considering Alberta thou! Please how important is the photographer's name and address written on the passport photo? I used a passport self service machine and wondering if that would do. Thank you

Congrats bubsykay!!!

Thank you so much for been helpful during the process! Are you still in Canada? Where did you decide to stay?

GM everyone! I'm sorry for not been active here for a while and I would like to say thank you to the GURUS that has kept the forum alive by providing necessary information and assistance to all of us here. To the glory of God we received PPR Yesterday: Please find below our timeline.

Hoping to send PP Friday latest. Once again! I will like to say Thank you to everyone that assisted us one way of the other during the process and to encourage everyone yet to start or in the process already! It is very real and achievable! Make up your mind and GO for it. I will keep you guys posted about the progress. Thank you

Saskatchewan decided to ask for POF update for my September application, after I had given up on them and submitted e-APR already.

freeradical:
Thanks for your honest reply.
On the average how much more can one spend working with these visaexperts compared to working alone. And is it advisable to pull out if one has already started the process with an agent midway?
I appreciate your response man

The cost of using an agent varies from one agent to the other. I was billed 1,500 CAD by a Canadian lawyer I visited in Toronto, I had to wise up when I checked the Naira equivalent, considering other cost involved. Thank God for Nairaland and other forums; I for dey cry for wasting my money now....... Its okay if the money has been paid already and you don't have to pay more, but no one will handle your matter like you and the information gotten in the process can not be quantified, Agents won't give you any info, its their business secret

zuriel2016:
Thanks , assuming these are the scores for general, I'm i correct with this calculation? i.e are the individual bands calculated and summed up ? or the minimum score is used to calculate? thanks
L 8.5 (CLB 10) 32pts
Reading 7.0 (CLB 9) 29points
Writing 6.0 (CLB 7) 16 points
Speaking 8.0 (CLB 10) 32 points
overall 7.5
will it be correct to claim 32+29+16+32 = 109 , for my CRS score in this section?

I'm not sure about the calculation but you have to increase your writing score to atleast 7.0 to make an all round CLB 9, which will give you a very good CRS score (If it were to be general)

freeradical:
I appreciate all that have been contributing to this thread. Quite a good job y'all have done here.
These questions are for the heavyweights of this thread. The likes of zandora, jesusdway, irondome and dupyshoo.
1. Why does everyone do ECA via WES. What special advantage does WES have over CES and the other bodies that are approved by CIC to do credential assessment?
2. What advantages are there to work with these accredited law firms like canadianvisaexpert if one can foot their service cost?
I appreciate your individual responses on these questions.

1. They all assess credentials but so far WES seem to be the fastest based on experiences from people from this and other forums

2. You don't get any advantage for using visaexperts (Agents), they only capitalizes on people's lack of information to make business. Its the same route for all. I hope that was helpful. Good luck.

muyiwaojo1:
Hello house, please as regards POF, I have a savings account that reads above 500k naira every month. Although, I have an uncle that promised that he's going to assist us with the total required money ($15k+) as soon as we need it or ready to move. My question is do I need to submit my savings account statement that reads 500k above every month in the last 4 months? Or I don't need to submit any statement of account until I have the total requested funds. I'm really confused here...

The visa officer wants to see the required amount in your statement of account. So you might have to wait till its complete before collecting statement.

chimaXYZ:
That won't be bad.
You can also reference the Central Bank website.
Cheers!

Finally e-APR submitted and AOR received. Now the waiting begins....... Thanks to everyone who has been a blessing to us on this forum. God bless you all

chimaXYZ:
That won't be bad.
You can also reference the Central Bank website.
Cheers!

Thank you bro! CBN didn't list CAD in their exchange on website but I used Oanda exchange rate and put both CBN and oanda link as ref. Please my bank did not include the 6 months average balance due to their standard template for both statement & ref. Do I need to include a copy of the email they sent me in my LOE?

Please is it necessary to include the currency conversion rate to CAD in your POF? Like Oanda rate picture, since your fund is not in CAD

tyketurah:
Please can someone explain how I can go about applying for a remark? I took the test in Ibadan on 2nd April and I don't have the original result yet. Will I need to apply for a remark at the office in Lagos? Kindly help.

You will have to complete a form online or go to the test center to complete the remark form, you will be paying a fee, which is refundable if your score changes, if the remark doesn't favor you, the fee is gone. With your score you posted, I think you should go ahead and ask for a remark. Good luck

chimaXYZ:
I do not understand it.
Could you please clarify?

Ok boss! My wife is the PA, she worked with the same org for 3 years, went for masters and returned to the same org to work for another year, the same department and NOC. This is regarded as 2 different experiences and hence 2 spaces provided for ref on the EE profile, which we have only 1 reference to upload at the 2 spaces provided for reference, but the 1 reference stated the 2 periods, responsibilities and the salaries (becos there was an increase) sounds better?

40manlappy:
Good day, hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Please, do you mean fixed deposit and treasury bill must be liquidated before the final application is submitted?
My wife is the principal applicant; about 75% of the required POF is in fixed deposit, done on her name. The balance of the POF has been invested in treasury bill through me.
Am I required to transfer this to her account before we print her bank statements? Is she also required to liquidate the deposit into her account?
Cc: irondome, zandora, JesusDWay

You might have to convert the treasury bill in your name to cash and keep in her account before she print her statement. FD is okay as far as its in her name but I think POF is better in liquid and easily accessible form. Thank you

chimaXYZ:
If you are the Principal Applicant, I do not think it will be necessary for your spouse to submit a detailed work experience reference.
Cheers!

What do you think about uploading the same ref letter at the 2 different spaces for job ref? because the PA worked in the same organization 2 periods (masters inbtw) and the 2 periods are explicitly stated on the ref. it is also the same NOC

chimaXYZ:
If you are the Principal Applicant, I do not think it will be necessary for your spouse to submit a detailed work experience reference.
Cheers!

Thank you sir! Just wanted to be sure.

chimali:
Hi
Please i am trying to get a letter of reference but I am not sure of the address to use (embassy)

"To Whom it may concern" is better but my bank insisted the ref has to be addressed so I used.

The Visa Officer,

Its good to be back here after a long session offline. Kudus to Zandora, JeusDway and the other gurus in the house, you guys are doing a great job.

Congrats to dupsyshoo as well. We will all get there...... Amen Fire

Its 8 days to go and all doc seem to be ready now, I believe I'm finally good to go with the e-APR. @jesusDway please tutor your brethren. What more do we need to know?

For the record! Does a spouse need to submit a detailed work reference as well?

dupyshoo:
Use this link to find approved doctors and call one of them to book an appointment
http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx.
Although, they should be aware of the kind of medical examinations but tell them you want to do an Upfront Medical Examination for Canadian Permanent Residence application. My medicals was classified under Family-EDE but I have seen people whose Medicals were classified under Worker- NON EDE. It does not really matter so far the correct medical examinations are completed. The tests carried out for me are as follows:
501 Medical Examination
502 Chest X-ray Examination
707 HIV test
712 Syphilis Test (VDRL or RPR)
Please note that for some countries, they might require more tests. Some people mentioned that they did Hepatitis B and C. I am not sure if it in mandatory for some countries. I did not do it and my Medical status is "passed" since October

Thank you! Think I understand now, the Family-EDE and the worker thing was just a bit confusing because I have seen the 2 as well.

@ dupsyshoh, Zandora, JesusDway and other bosses! What kind of test am I suppose to do for the medicals. I called 2 doctors and they said different things. Are we suppose to do syphillis and hepatitis B and C? One of them just gave me a list of each test and cost to shop the ones I want to do.

Zimex:
I really hope I made this cut. I updated my profile this morning with my husband's WES ECA which increased our score to 454.

Did you receive an ITA?

Bcolah:
Hello everyone. I just got the mail for ITA. Can someone advise on the next step. Do I do my medicals and PCC now or wait till I'm about to submit my documents.
Also is the PCC I'm to submit the same one issued at Ikoyi?

You will complete your profile and you have 60 days to get all documents and submit your application. PCC from all countries you have lived for more than 6 months, medicals, reference and education documents.
