What's your profession? The new procedure now is that your application goes to Sydney for pre-screening. Sydney is looking for some particular professions for faster processing time.

Where in Ontario are you going. Is it Toronto? Anyway KLM fly to Toronto and it is very good. A friend of mine travel to Toronto with Emirate and emirate's price is the cheapest. Emirate is also good from what I heard. But guys believe that it is better to fly into canada thru Europe. I hope this help

Not necessarily. Emirates fly direct to Toronto from Dubai; However, it's a longer trip from Lagos since they have to go thru Dubai.

KLM, AirFrance, British Airways, Lufthansa all of them are good. Take your pick. I prefer flying BA but would also fly Emirates business class to Toronto cos of the experience.

@ brein

It doesn't even have to be KLM. She can use British Airways as well, depending on where in Canada she is flying to.

You can transit through Heathrow, and as long as you don't leave the airport, you won't need a transit visa.

If she is going to Vancouver, then British Airways is definitely the best bet. Fly into Heathrow and then fly to Vancouver from there. The flight is direct and I've personally used it on a number of occasions.

Cheapest to Vancouver is 320,000?? is that a return ticket??

Please check properly for yourself brein. I would advise British Airways from personal experience to Vancouver.

BA (Lagos to Vancouver) no be am on the return leg. Because of the change in departure from Vancouver, you have to overnight in London. Unless you have something doing in London, it's pretty much a waste of time. And I'm not suprised at the N320k. I know someone who paid N400k in December for an economy seat from Lagos to Vancouver; the dollar/naira wahala is definitely affecting everything.

debosky:
You are only given a SINGLE ENTRY visa by the Canadian High Commission, NOT a student visa.

You will however be issued with a letter instructing the Citizens and Immigration (CIC) official at the port of entry to issue you with a study visa, which will usually be for the duration of your course + a month or 2.

ay you need to go to the embassy to inquire as to why you haven't heard anything. Sometimes they are delaying for a 'flimsy' reason, and till you show up, they might not clear it up. It is an annoying behaviour of the CDHC.

Debosky,how body?

I have seen them they give MULTIPLE entry, especially when the Visa is long term.

marydre:
Hi everyone, can someone who is not related to you and also resides in canada stand as your sponsor? I Want to know before I submit my application for a study permit.

It's possible but it's a pretty hard sell especially when you consider the " Nigerian" factor. Also, you have to remember that the onus is on you to prove that you can fund your way thru school AND you have very strong ties to your home country; meaning you'd be more or less compelled to leave for home when you complete your program. So, if your sponsor is not related to you and s/he is based in Canada, how do you sell that to the consul who is already sceptical?

BTW, this is solely my opinion; you may be quite lucky; you never know but I'd look for a better alternative.

aydracula:
@ Delta, thanks. I have called the hospital in VI to find out when they sent the medicals and they said it was sent a week after and that it will take five days to get to Paris. You can imagine that after they told me that the medicals will be sent latest on Wednesday. I took the medicals on a Saturday. But thanks for your advice. If after 4 weeks I have not heard from them, I will pay the embassy a visit.

The hospital usually waits for a few medical applicants to come in before they send to Paris. They usually courier all of them together to save money.

aydracula:
@ Delta, yes I am the one that sent the email. Wassup. Any news

Well, I'd advise you to be patient. Medicals take at least 3wks plus; this is just your third week. . .I'd give it a month and if I dont hear from the consulate, I'd give them a call/visit. Goodluck

aydracula:
@ chi-jewel. Congrats. Please when did the embassy invite you for the medicals and what was the duration between the time you took your medicals and the time the visa was granted to you.

@ Delta 007, is Delta still online on this board? We need your contributions ooo.

Yup. I'm in and out; been pretty busy lately. What's your question?

BTW, are you the one who sent an email?

pls add me now and lets talk

Honestly, I'm hardly on Yhoo Msgr. You may post your questions or concerns here or email me at XX

Just some clarifications,


When an accident is reported, the insurance company will determine if they should go ahead and repair the vehicle or pay off the insured. Sometimes, they make a judgement (purely subjective) and pay off the insured and declare the vehicle salvage. This doesnt necessarily mean the vehicle is damaged beyond repairs. It just means the insurance company decided to take the other route. If the vehicle was stolen, they usually have a "recovery period"; if (within that period) the vehicle is not recovered, they pay off the insured. However, if after paying the insured they recover it, the vehicle is sometimes branded as salvage or auto theft recovery. Note that not all vehicles that have been in accidents are branded as salvage and not all salvage vehicles are damaged beyond repair. Some States actually classify these salvage vehicles. Those classified as "junks", as simply junks.They ought to just be sold for parts. However, when a slavage vehicle is repaired, it cannot be used in N.America unless it has been certified road worthy. When cerified, it is rebranded as "Rebuilt".

P.S. If I was based in Nigeria and was to buy a "Salvaged" vehicle (cos they are very cost attractive), I'd go for a vehicle with a "Rebuilt" title to be on the safe side. Most Nigerian dealers who are not straight upfront, just buy these accidented vehicles and make cheap repairs. Sometimes, they are not up to standard and the buyer ends up buying a death trap.

Hello nairalander,
i have just been offeered admission into 2 different university in canada, both of them dont require toefl since i applied from an english speaking country.
i am 22 yrs, been on a voulountry work since i graduted from secoundary school.
letters backing that up are available.
Now my questions is, do i need to write toefl, dont know if the embassy requires that.
and what are the documents i need to submit, and my sponsor is: my dad's sister's husband, like my dad sis family is sponsoring me.
i need urgent reply cos my letter from the schools are avaialble, and i would like to apply on time.
Thanks ,

You do not need TOEFL if the school has already waived it and you already got your admission.

As for your sponsors, make sure you have the required documents and there's enough proof that he/she is capable of sponsoring you.

Apply early. Goodluck.

[quote author=Tha_dude link=topic=238161.msg3503566#msg3503566 date=1235393786]It is actually a good investment. Time share vacation is one of the newest travel accomodation being sold out to interested holiday goers. It will profit you if u are a frequent flyer. Like it will help our governors and Mr. President to save money. Because depending on the company selling the time-share vacation, if they are global, u will be able to holiday any where in the world wit out worrying about ur hotel bills. I was to buy in Gatlinburg (tennessee) with over 200 destinations including caribbean, europe , Africa and middle east but had so much on-going pet projects.
I hope they paid u for ur time!. I was paid $200 buck just to spend 1hr with them tryin to sell their time-share thing to me with a free for all lunch. At the end of the day, i asked them if i could come the next day to spend another 1hr wit them, they laughed!!!, Naija blood doesnt change oh, I told them i was locked up in Naijaism! That was april last yr.[/quote], I wudnt say it's a good investment. Depending on how often you travel, what alternate investments you can have, etc. Remember, despite being a time share owner, you may have to book in advance to be able to get a space in popular destinations like Vegas, etc

You probably werent able to prove that you have very strong ties to Nigeria, and you'd be coming back when you complete the program; Maybe you did but they werent satisfied. One thing alot of people do not realise is that getting a scholarship does not automatically give you an edge with the consulate. More often than not, it works against you unless you know how to "sell it". Too bad tho; perhaps you can contact the university and ask them if they can defer the admission/scholarship.

P.S. If the admission is for the session beginning in the Fall (Sept), it might not be a bad idea to re-apply since there is still time; If you do, make sure you beef up your application; however, whatever you do, do not give out any information that will contradict your previous application(s). Very important!

@igbogolo, congrats, hope u r enjoying your course and stay here

we really need to pray for Nigerians so that when they leave, they wont behave and start blocking other people's chance, I am saying this cuz of the wat happened at my skool on the 29th of jan. this year

What happened at your school?

Check your email.

Every business has associated risks; it's a given. However, Cyber Cafes in today's Nigeria is a VERY tricky business. Alot of pple that go into it, do not understand what it takes to run a cyber cafe. Add the cost of having electricity there all the time, you might end up running a huge deficit. The emergence of wireless ISPs all over Nigeria has furthermore dampened the market. This does not mean that you cannot run a Cyber Cafe successfully in Nigeria, but just like any business, there are lots of factors to consider and be ready to invest alot to get some good returns.

Delta, how far? Just saying Hi, how is business going for you bro.
Just wondering have you ever sent anything/s using British Airways?

Business is fine. Thanks for asking. How is your end?
No, we have not used BA.

Weezyf:
at what rate r we talking about here plz be more specific on price, this is what i want 2.0ghz,2.0gb, 250hhd,webcam,bluetooth,wifi,with remote control and some other features. so plz be specific on both options u gave, thnx.

Intel processor or AMD? Intels are relatively more expensive. . .FYI.

Just FYI, so I dont get your hopes up, we dont have any available in Nigeria at the moment. There's a shipment which will arrive later in the week. I can include your request, if ypu give me the go-ahead; that's why I'm asking!

If you can get a reasonable fair , direct flight from Atlanta using Delta, I'd strongly recommend it. . .although travelling with kids, it can be a tough one on a pretty long flight.

However, try sites like www.kayak.com or www.vayama.com to compare prices. If you have a pretty good travel agent, you might be able to get good deals. Lastly, since you are going along with kids, you might want to play with your "connection times", if any, to avoid pretty long wait times in airports. Personally, I hate (with a passion), sitting in an airport for more than an hr.

Weezyf:
Who will be the frist to get me a brand new hp pavillion dv5 series urgently and send it down to be picked and paid for as well latest monday. NB: Am in d east, Awka precisely. So if u think u can handle it hit me 08063925658/murphylins@yahoo.com thanx.

Two options:

Option 1: To get delivery in Awka, you pay in full, upfront and we ship to you via courier within 24hrs of payment

Option 2: You can (or send someone to) pick up in Port Harcourt or Warri, Lagos or Abuja (your best choice).

I recommend option 2 for obvious reasons to both parties. However, some of our clients have preferred option 1 and we've had no issues with delivery. Email me at sales@jonitivecomputers.com
