Call them or mail them. Just got mine after a month it was released after a lot of back and forth.

I just sent them an email. Thanks 🙏

Yes, I am applying for skilled worker visa, not health or care visa.

Thanks for the clarification.🙏

Good evening, everyone. My wife took her UKVI IELTS on December 16th, and her results were updated on December 29th. However, as of today, January 10th, we have not received the hard copy of the results. According to our calculations, we should have received it after 7 working days from seeing the results online. Should we be worried?

Fizzymidasquil:
Can I submit the docs I have now, pay the visa+healtcare surcharge fees, and then upload the remaining docs later before the biometrics appointment?

I'm asking as I still need two documents (TB test and ECCTIS degree assessment), but I already have CoS and others.

The healthcare surcharge will increase from £624 to £1035 on Jan 16.

I want to believe you're applying for another visa category and not the Health and Care Worker visa correct me if I'm wrong please because I read that if you're applying for HCA, you don't need Health Surcharge.

Nobody discusses things like this...they're all minding their businesses. But the truth is that a lot of pple who are waiting are already heartbroken. I know one guy that has sold everything hoping that CoS will be out for him then...till now he's still waiting and frustration is already creeping in.

It's really heartbreaking. 💔

Simply call the test centre she selected and discuss with them. They'll sort it out.

🙏 Thanks.

Good day everyone, my wife paid for her UKVI IELTS yesterday but her dashboard is still showing that she needs to make payments. She paid via transfer and as instructed, she sent an email with her details to the email address that was provided but my worry is that it is stated on her portal that she has till the 6th - tomorrow to make payments or else her application will be cancelled and they said it takes them 7 working days to confirm payments.

Good morning, everyone. My question may be a bit general, but I'd like to know which of the test centers in Lagos, either on the island or mainland, is considered the best for UKVI IELTS. Your input is appreciated. 🙏

advanceDNA:

U have a job....do u have COS??

We are in the process of getting the COS.

advanceDNA:

5...use anyone of the tb test center u like ... the 150$ from IOM is an old quote that was in use before APC destroyed this nation ....IOm charges around 59k for TB test(last I checked) Book an appointment, confirm ur appointment, pay , and go for test

Thank you very much 🙏 for this detailed response.

Good morning advanceDNA and everyone here. My wife got a job offer to work as HCA in the UK and I've read the introductory page of this thread and jumped to page 400 to start reading about other people's testimonies, questions, their processes and POE experience but I'd like to ask a few questions as we are about to start our application.

1. What's the first thing we need to do, we've not seen a step by step guide on how to start the application.

2. I know the POF has to be in the account before we start our application, can I use my own account for the POF as it has better inflow and outflow or do we need to transfer the money to the MA?

3. Can we do upfront TB tests or everything has to be after we set up an account?

4. The PCC expires fast, when is it advisable we do it?

5. Which of the medical test centres is the best for people going this route, I know affordability is relative but we want a cheap one that won't stress us, I saw $150 quoted for IOM on the UK government website while Q-Life was quoted in naira but I'd wait to hear from experienced people here.

6. The MA would be writing UKVI IELTS does she need to submit her credentials through ECCTIS again?

Thank you all in anticipation of a prompt response.

Also thanks to Uzland for this thread and to everyone keeping this thread alive. We were focusing on Canada but this one came and we have to take it.

Goodly1:

Ensure that whatever English test she's taking has UKVI attached to it, so as to avoid premium tears.🤷🏾‍♂️

Sure, we will take note of this.
Thanks for your response.🙏

Hello everyone, I just stumbled upon this thread. Please I need information concerning UKVI tests for my wife, who is applying to work in the UK as a Health Care assistant, can we register through IDP instead of British council because IDP has a test centre in our present location (Ile-Ife) while the nearest location for British council is Osogbo. I also want to ask if it is compulsory for her to present Care certificates.

damosade:
Hello nairalander.please is my agent trying to dupe me? He claimed to have started application since August 26th but till now I haven't be call for biometrics , please is there a need to worry?

You'd need to ask him to explain what he's helping you to do and that he should carry you along. If it's study visa maybe he's trying to get your SOP written or something like that.

People in sport please help interpret this

Don't we all have testosterone

There is a form of steroids that some body builders use to enhance their body building. In athletics, some athletes may misuse synthetic versions of testosterone, often referred to as "anabolic steroids," to enhance their performance and gain a competitive advantage.

FreeStuffsNG:
Please read the profile of both to understand sir. With the background of HE Oyetola as a UNILAG product in actuarial science and years of practice and executive experience, he has more experience to pioneer such a ministry. Hon Bunmi Ojo will be a green horn for such a completely new ministry.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't bother to check Oyetola's educational background, I only judged him based on his recent public profile.

BIZNess123:



Transport vs marine and blue economy (which is more juicy and honorable)

Ojo is an ICT guru that interior is not bad for him shall but I prefer that marine and blue economy for him.... He would have developed ondo seaport.. Jeez

I was also thinking along this line, I read about him and saw he's got ICT background and would have been a great fit in that ministry of Blue Economy. I just started reading about blue economy and I see it's got great potential but the choice of Oyetola is what I find hard to understand.

FreeStuffsNG:
The choice of HE Oyetola for that industry is a brilliant idea!

Do you care to shed more light? The ministry is a new one and I'd like to know why you feel former governor Oyetola is the right fit instead of Bunmi Tunji-Ojo that was initially penned for that ministry.

I wish everybody well,but Am hurt becos many of this people are selfish and self centered,another young man with vv will think it that easy to land ,and arrange him.or herself ,change visa and live ok but in reality many of people like him have the cash,family support ..so do not omit that aspect that u do not just land and get things started you have ground support..so encourage others to look for ground support too and not just buy ticket and face rural area only to be disapointed...many like him share funny advice here and they land and now in refugee camp themselve and we no see them again

Some people make this mistake thinking it's just to get a visa, buy a ticket and fly but anyone that has been on this thread for at least 2 months will already have an idea of what they should prepare before embarking on the journey. That's why someone like me appreciate people who keep this thread alive by sharing necessary information for intending travelers. Everyone's journey is not the same so we won't have the same experiences.

Viking07:
🤣 Dude is always bitter. I removed someone like him from the WhatsApp group. I hope he’s not the one sef. I’ve always been told those with VV can’t open bank accounts. In fact na my guy wey get correct VV carry me go bank to open account today. My own visa sef is not a visitor visa.
But nobody will tell you you can get a bank account with a VV.

Nobody will tell you , after opening the account you get an instant loan/credit deposited for your use if you need it.

Nobody will tell you even if you come to Canada without knowing ANYBODY. There are shelters you can go to, free food and accommodation pending when you find your feet.

So many untold facts wey you no go hear.

But if na the negative one ehen. You can’t open account, you can’t buy sim(ANOTHER lie o. Them dey sell sim for airport sef , you can’t rent house. All sort of nonsense. 😁

Like I keep saying. If Canada don tire you. Go back to Nigeria in peace. Them no tie your destiny here. Don’t come and be littering your frustrations everywhere.

Documents collected 😁✌️

Everything is about information. I have someone that landed in June and could have been sent back to MMA just because he wasn't well informed. I'd be in your DM. 🙏

orjohn24:


Mr account opener,So opening an account is a big achievement to you??
We talking how to live as resident with vv and not opening account...visit visa na maximum 6 month .how many don enter canada this year and got lmia or change visitor to work visa...you l know you get admission as backup and have family in canada with plan to change to student visa..but what about peopple that cannot afford student fee? Many people like you will only share half truth online.pls give geniue advice to peoole that have no family in canada and you think it that easy to get lmia or face the village without any prior connection.abeg let face reality .so people coming will not be disapointed or stranged.

Bros be calming down, if you read through his comments you'd realise he didn't just travel based on insha'Allah, he went there with a plan and part of his plan is to get an account set up immediately he lands. Like someone said up there if that place no gel for you no mean say everyone that lands with a VV will experience same. Yeah we understand you're trying to sound a note of warning to intending travelers to prepare themselves ahead of their journey but please there are better ways of passing information without demeaning others.
🙏

Wow.

The apprentice beat his boss.

Love the tears.

O-banter-lah deliver them to us today. 🤗
