SOS!!!
Canada have asked me for passport after 3 years, they don wake up!!
We are already booked for biometrics for April 27 and deadline to submit to Canada is May 8.
I've tried contacting Nigerian high Commission in London about expedited processing but their phone line never gets answered.
Please guys I need your help

Does anyone know if fast/expedited processing is still an option? No information on their website about this

How can I contact UK high Commission and get a fast response?

Aesthetically yes and the enhance e passport requires NIN, as it is also inputted on the data page. Also somthing about chip or e-chip, sorry not too sure. I have read the whole reason for the suspension of issuance and still can’t understand how this helps the situation or at least any of the grievances. They just do not want to work.
So that means whether enhcanced passport or not. No biometrics

I hope they lift it off soon. Already booked flights for end of April

Is there a difference between the enhanced e passport and standard e passport?
I just saw on the commission 's website that they are suspending biometric capture for the enhanced e passport and I quickly went to check my y application form and saw that I applied for standard e passport renewal. Mm y appointment is April 27.
I hope this their update doesn't affect me.

I have been in Sunderland for a little over two weeks now and I have applied to over 40 jobs all to no avail. I don't know what to do anymore, I have done few interviews and it seems they are all looking for a full time work.

I have experience in sales and I've been applying for jobs as sales assistant, retail assistant etc.

I have a Certificate in IT(British Computer Society), I don't have any work experience in IT so I haven't been applying for jobs related to it.

What do I do? It's really getting to me.
If you haven't done so already, try downgrading your CV for the retail jobs. Indeed has a lot of listings. Create an account and activate notifications

Thank you all for this thread. Mother of 2 kids under 6 here. We have registered with a GP but council is yet to verify me. How do I go about this? When can I register them for school? Thinking of bringing the little one back in September. Also what is the fate of a child with speech delay? Is there free therapy or is the therapy expensive?

I stay in Scotland and I just moved in a month ago. Still trying to find my feet. Thank you mothers and Happy international Women’s Day

GETTING STARTED

Before You Come: Here are some things to think about/consider BEFORE making the move to the Uk as a Parent:

- If you have younger kids it’s important you have and bring all their medical and immunization records especially. You will be asked for it repeatedly and if it’s missing your child’s records here will have gaps.
- As soon as you know where you will be moving to, start researching schools. Find out which schools have the best reputation (s) then find out which area of catchment they fall under. In the UK, you are allocated a school primarily based on where you live (catchment area). The worst thing you can do is go for a lovely house in an area that has a rubbish school. Shortlist your preferred schools first so it will guide your house hunting activities
- Start reducing your tone (if you’re the type that shouts at kids) like most of us and practicing keeping your hands to yourself. This is particularly important when you have younger kids who don’t have verbal filter as such. Hitting kids here is NOT allowed. The earlier you get used to passing your message across without the use of force the better for you.
- Finally, understand that parenting alone in the Uk if you don’t have family around is NOT easy. It is hard, lonely, can be overwhelming and also isolating. However it can be done and it gets better. Your kids will learn to be independent faster than their home counterparts and things will generally be easier with time.

Note: These are mainly my opinions/ experience and/or gleaned from experiences of others I’ve been privy to. Feel free to add your take.

Thank you.

Has anyone ever had trouble with paying for passport renewal?

I am having issues with making payment for passport renewal via the website.
I applied to register my card but it was refused because I erroneously didn't add a picture of my card.

I have been trying to register again with all three documents but it keeps failing and asking me to enter the correct billing address which I have done multiple times.
I've finally been able to make payment.

But I have another issue lol
The appointment platform let me book an appointment date for April 15th. I didn't realize until this week that it is Good Friday which is a bank holiday. I don't know if they will really open that day.
Is there a fast Way to contact Nigeria high commission? Their phone never gets answered

Also, the appointment platform let me book an appointment date without payment. I booked April 15th. The system let me. I didn't realize until today that it is Good Friday which is a bank holiday. I don't know if they will really open that day.

TheGuyFromHR:
He should take the job first and start working while still looking for others.
When he has proven his worth he can raise the issue of sponsorship, it is doable to ask them to take any costs from his pay. These costs are not expensive anyway, even if the company doesn't have a sponsor licence in the first place.

A lot of companies avoid it because they think its wahala and expensive, but it's really not, and the management requirements from the HR side are not onerous, at least from what I have seen.

In any event, in his shoes I'd take the first job and continue the search, because the better (longer) your UK employment history, the more likely you are to be or become someone a company would be willing to sponsor.
Thank you for your input

Pls my people, if you get any mail from your child’s nursery that someone from his classroom contacted covid. Please withdraw your child for some time. Contrary to NHS guide that the child can still go to school if he/she is not showing any signs or symptoms. As I type this, everyone is my house (self, wife and our 2 n half year old son) has covid.

It all started 3 weekends ago when he was running temperature and we took him to the GP. The Dr examined him and said it was an infection. He then prescribe an antibiotic for 5days. After 4days of taking the antibiotics, we got a call from his nursery that he’s having some signs of reaction on his body. I took him to the pharmacy and he said it was nothing serious but we should stop the antibiotics. He also gave him an oral solution to relief the reaction. Before taking the oral solution we discovered that the reaction had disappeared, but we still gave him for 1 full day. We went back to the doctor and he said we should stop the antibiotics and call the clinic if any new development. All these while, we have been having covid test regularly just to be sure that’s not the situation. Two weeks ago we got a mail that someone from his classroom had tested positive and they attached NHS covid guidance for nursery kids. While we were still going from high temperature to normal temperature and cough, we got another mail from the school a week ago that two other people had tested positive. That was when it got done on me that covid was an option for his situation. All these while we were testing ourself and it came out negative.

To cut the long story short. Yesterday I took him to a testing center and after the test, on our way back home, I started feeling very funny. Got home took paracetamol. Woke up and was not feeling good still, so I took the covid test again early this morning and it turned out positive. My wife did same and also got a positive result. Then we became anxious to know his own test result, though he wasn’t running temperature again, but was still having this little cough and catarrh. Well, hours later after reporting our case to NHS and asking them to follow up with our sons result, we got an sms that he is positive.

To be honest we don’t know where the covid came from as 3 of my wife’s colleagues had to isolate in December and another last month. But we are suspecting the school as the school had to close the room for some time due to growing cases. My advice is not to risk it. If someone test positive in your child’s class, it’s possible to spread from the careers if not from the kids. I don’t know. But that’s our present situation and I am sharing for others to learn from it.
Wishing you all a speedy recovery
