I drive a 2004 corolla sport...I try to do all the regular maintenance and use the required (or closest ) oil and stuff just to ensure that my car doesn't develop faults. I also service my car at a decent garage which is a bit more expensive but I can deal.

Recently my car started making some loud noises that increase as I accelerate sometimes making me to have to increase the volume of my radio. I felt maybe the exhaust pot was bad cos the noise sounded like it was coming from there. In a nutshell the car was sounding like all these bug engine cars, driving isn't noiseless like other cars.

The garage guys checked it and they said it's the wheel hub, really one. I asked if they were certain and they said yes.

I asked for a quote and I got 58k just to buy one complete wheel hub and I need to buy 2. I googled and the prices when converted to naira at even 400 naira to a dollar for both isn't up to 58k.

Please i need advice, do you guys think the wheel hub is the issue? And if it is, does it cost that much?

Thanks.

what i can think of is buying a new set of glass that is already factory tinted and replacing with your non-tinted type.

That'll be too expensive, thanks though.

Hello guys, please I want to tint my car windows and I don't want to do the one that is like leather which can be peeled off. I once heard of a tint on car windows that is like spray paint or something which makes your windows look more factory fitted so that our police men won't try to peel it off. Does anyone know about this and where I can do it in around Surulere, Yaba or Ikeja? Your assistance will be appreciated. Oh and I have a tint permit already. What happened was that I used to have the leather type of tint but didn't have a permit then so I had to peel it off, cos the permit took a while to get to me. But now that I have the permit I want to do the tint but not the leather type.

Thanks, looking forward to your assistance.

It's all on the CIC site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp

But...

(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)

1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp

2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.

How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp

3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp

4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp

The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.

5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp

Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.

6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:

a) Have your application fee (C$550 for principal applicant) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp

c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp

e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.

f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live

Hi Is it possible for me to apply to WES to have my results checked without having done any application?

I intend to sit for IELTS by August, I will like to know if I can have my transcript sent to WES now, my school knows how to delay in all these kind of stuff, so that hopefully by September they would have even sent the second verification response to WES. Please what do you guys advice?

Also does you class of degree matter?

solomonwis:
You will need to get a proper letter of employment with Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) which your proposed employer in Canada must obtain before you are hired. A "provisional letter of employment will not suffice in this regard.

Approach your employer to see the possibility of LMIA,after then can you say if this employment will increase your chance of receiving an ITA.

Thanks for your response.

benik:
Yes employment letter from an employer in Canada will definately boost your CRS
PoF varies between 3-6months statement of account
No WES will not verify ACCA

Thanks a lot.

lavivaavril:
Hey guys, has anyone tried New Zealand or Australia? Is Canada easier to migrate to than the others?

My Bro will be leaving next week for Australia. He started the process mid last year I think. He got the migrant paper with 6 years work permit or something, after a while he'll get Australian passport with which he can relocate to almost anywhere. To answer your question, yes it's easier. The process is not like this Canadian one. And I think it's partly due to the fact that Australia is far away.

Hello house, I was encouraged to follow this path after my brother was successfully granted migrant visa to Australia. I am interested in the express entry to Canada though, which my initial assessment on the site says I qualify for. My question is, I work with a Big Four audit firm, if I am able to get a provisional letter of employment from the Canadian office of my firm and submit it for nomination through the state I wish to reside in, will this increase my chances? I have 2 years work experience. Also about the bank balance, is it your bank statement for the whole year that is submitted or can I have someone put the money in my account 2 months before and just present one month statement that will show the bank balance? Lastly, will WES assess my ACCA qualification in addition to that obtained from my university? Thanks for your assistance.

Oh my Lawd!

Mehn if you drive a corolla be careful where you park it. The ECU of my 2003/04 Corolla was stolen on Friday night. After then, I realised I know two people who drive corollas as well, who's ECU's were stolen. This is really crazy. I am really sad about my ECU, started jumping bus today. Anyways while I wait for my insurance claim to come through can someone help find a matching ECU for Vin number 2T1BR32E04C789318 . Thanks

Hi Guys, please I need your advice. My car was burgled last night, the power door locks and the brain box were the major things taken. I have comprehensive insurance with leadway and I just want to know if this will be something they'll indemnify, my policy does state that "the company will indemnify the insured against loss of or damage to the motor car and/or it's accessories whilst thereon b) by fire, external explosion, self ignition or lighting or burglary housebreaking or theft"

Here are my questions:
What do I do to ensure that the do what they're supposed to do.
How long will it take for them to fix my car. .. seeing that damage is not as a result of an accident but theft.
I took pictures of the car. Do you think that my reporting the issue at ikeja police station (where I live) instead of V.I where the car was burgled is wrong?
Any other advice will be appreciated.

I've heard of insurance companies trying to get out of paying claims. ..should I be worried with these guys??

CityNG:
Just in perspective I also had to pay $25 (N4,100) here in the US to get a copy.

My issue is that you had to negotiate on a price like you're buying a product at the market and not a seeking a government service.

Also what will the Police Station do with your money, will they give you a receipt for it?

Police issue a receipt? Nope.

My car was vandalized last night, the brain box amongst other things were taken. Luckily for me I have comprehensive insurance which I think should cover the repairs. I get to the police station to make a statement and get the report and I was told to bring 30k. This is the boss making this request oh, after pleading for a while he finally came down to 10k and has refused to go any lower.

What kind of country do we live in? Where one has tobpay 10, 000 to get a police report. This is really sad.

GAZZUZZ: Faulty oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor 2, if its a 4cylinder its after the catalyst. It costs about 25k for a brand new one, 5k for a tokumbor 1

The range switch is not more than 5k if its bad.

The evap leak is probably from your rusted tank cover.

Hi, thanks for your response, so for about 10k can get this sorted? What about the tank cover how much will it cost?

3ace: Op, apart from the first two codes in the report you provided, I'm also facing the same issue with the last two codes(PO705 & PO850). I just created a thread concerning this and people here might think we are one and same person. I don't know about the other codes but those last two which I'm also experiencing are transmission issue and like you said, you won't notice any fault at all-this has been my experience too. Don't let them rip you off, that 130k bill is highway robbery. Based on my little research, those codes shouldn't cost that much to fix but the problem is getting a good mechanic to fix it. The fool that came to check mine said my ECU was faulty and needed replacement simply because he didn't notice any fault too-I just walked away. If I eventually get a good mechanic to fix mine, I'll let you know and if you do too, please let me know.

Thanks will appreciate that.

Hello All, So I recently bought a car diagnosis check online for my car, a 2004 Corolla and this is the report that came up. The guy who ran the report said it would cost me up to 130k plus his fees to fix the car. But I kind of think he's trying to rip me off. the thing is, I'm not having any noticeable issues with the car, but the check engine light came on and I decided to run the diagnosis (although the fuel tank cover is a bit rusted, which I have heard could be a reason why the check engine light is on).

What i want to know is based on the attached report, what do I need to fix and how much will it cost so I can have an idea. Are these issues even serious? I just serviced the car with the recommended oil like a month ago.

Is there a Mechanic you can recommend around Ikeja, Maryland or somewhere close?

Your contributions will be very much appreciated.

Has the price not reduced since 2011??

Thanks for your response. It's just that I've been advised to go for a Honda or Toyota as this will be my first car. But I really love this ride.

Hey guys, please I need your input on a car that i intend on buying. i don't know much about the car but it really looks nice and i would love to buy it. i just want to know if there are mechanics in Lagos that can work on this car should it develop any fault. Also I will like to know if the car spare parts are very expensive or affordable, and accessible. I'll also want to know if its expensive to maintain. I will really appreciate your input. Thanks. The car is a 2003 infiniti G35.

I was in your shoes last year, thankfully I got in. What I'll say is be patient, you will all definitely get a mail success or otherwise. During my time, verification test went on for over a month. Close to 3000 people were invited for the verification test ( the test is about 45 mins and about 5 batches or more of 10 people per batch wrote the test each day). The mails are actually sent in batches. So, that you have not received a success mail doesn't mean that you failed. I advice you be patient, pray and hope for the best.
Goodluck.
