Hello All!

Is there any April 8 applicant here whose eligibility hasn't started but his or her biometrics & medicals have been done/uploaded?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by dotoracs: 4:04pm On Jul 23, 2021
Nuve:
From what I gather, first week of April applicants, non-NSE route had their eligibility started around the same time ish (July 14-16). I applied on April 5, non-nse route, and had eligibility started on that day also. It might also mean applicants from that time frame would receive their PPR around the same time. Make we just dey watch and wait.
It will be nice to know where & how you gathered this this.

I did mine on Monday 12th ,i called them on Monday 19th morning cos my 30days count down was to expire on 22nd, they said they were still processing mine I should upload on my own first ,I did Monday night and it was updated and passed on 21st . I don't know if maybe they finalized mine cos of the call I made and sent to IRCC that same Monday for IRCC to have viewed the result and passed on Wednesday 21st.

Which number did you call them on?

You can call all the numbers they have there on their site .Those were the ones I kept calling till they picked.

Have enough airtime cos I was placed on hold for 20minuites before it got to my turn.

Nigeria banks now sell USD to individuals via Form A? Be sure of the information you pass across!
I'm very sure. I'm a banker. Just go to any bank and ask for "Personal Travel Allowance". They will give you its details. However, the maximum one person can buy is $4,000

An update from Memorial University (MUN)
Thanks for this information. I hope you opened the link and read well enough to know it doesn't affect those that have already secured post graduate admission for this fall? Infact, the tuition increase doesn't affect postgraduate studies (yet). Shalom!

[quote author=Akannitommy post=103510463][/quote]Evidently, it's not less than a thousand CAD on the website if you read it well. I honestly don't know the point of sharing what doesn't prove your case. Besides, you are talking to a prospective MBA student of this same school, MUN. I've already paid tuition for a year and I know what I spent. It's definitely not what you claim so don't mislead people.

Go to your (Nigerian) Bank to buy Personal Travel Allowance. The maximum per person is $4,000 USD in cash and it'd be sold to you at CBN official rate.

Alchemist01:
Hello guys,

For those that travelled to Canada recently, how did you change your naira to USD before travelling. I have tried the personal travelling allowance route but almost all the banks have return ticket as a requirement. I am going as a student hence I booked one way trip as I have no idea when I will be returning.

Is anyone aware of any alternative asides Bureau de change/Aboki ?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 19 by dotoracs: 3:24pm On Jul 08, 2021
It's not less than $1,000 o!

Akannitommy:
Hi,

For your wife, Memorial University of Newfoundland has one of the ridiculously cheap tuition in Canada. At least I know for MBA it is below $1,000/semester. But the Province is remote and laid back so alot of students who go there leave immediately after graduation. It may also be easier to get PR in NFL through Provincial Nomination and/or after graduation but there maybe requirement to live there for a few years. I have heard about New Brunswick too having low tuition rate -- others can chip in on this question.

Note only research masters and PhD get funded. Taught masters are rarely/never funded or maybe very poorly. It even gets worse with a finance/business major. The logic is that you are studying the course to make money first so you can aswell invest/pay for it yourself unlike sciences/tech that may not necessariy be commercial in nature (at least not immediately). It is assumed these latter courses especially their research versions are likely to impact the society more.

Your own profile looks very interesting too but for the HND part. If you can get a Msc in Forensics (Crime Lab Science etc) you may be able to also get a study visa. You have the background and related work experience. If you find a good lab that needs your own unique skills, it is not impossible to get some funding for a research masters but still your HND profile may pose a challenge in this regard. Consult more on this and other fora to see what schools can offer you admission with your profile. It is not impossible, may be hectic but worth trying.

You both should try a multi-prong approach for the eventual benefits of your family.

It shall end in praises. Ire oh!

That screenshot only applies to inland Canada applications. It doesn't apply to applications outside Canada.

Don't worry Champ. We will celebrate with you.

Amen.

Jesus! Wahala no dey finish. I noticed too. It is well. May be they didn't receive so much applications then and have chosen to group them among this week.

Boye0147:
I applied Marxh 29th. They moved from applications between March 21st to March 27th and jumped to April 4th to April 10th.

They actually skipped the week I applied which is March 28th to April 3rd.

I am just confused.

Any advice here?

He is actually right you have to inverse the rate. one naira is 0.00301 cad but one cad is 332.3 naira and not 301 naira. That is 1/0.00301 = 332.3
I later found out. Don't mind me. I was too focused or wishing on having a lower rate. I withdraw my defensive statement. Thanks for sharing a correct perspective to the house. I've learned and more importantly, no one will be misled.

SuomyNona:
You still have to inverse it, i.e 1/the decimal digits

To find the naira equivalent, you have to inverse that value.

The Naira equivalent is ₦331.69.

I used this conversion in my LOE for my visa application too. It was 306 in early May, Naira is getting worthless every day.
You are very correct. I was looking at it from a very wrong position. Guess I so badly want a lower figure. Many thanks for the correct perspective. I take back my earlier (pointless) argument.

I don't understand your Maths/English, "inverse". Are you not familiar with decimals or how can something be so obvious, yet confusing to you? The rate there for Naira is 301.48!

This is an evident example. They will even inform IRCC of its CAD equivalence at the interbank market rate. Although, this is a letter issued in 2020 before the last Naira devaluation.

Hello Gurus how do I go about getting MBS for stanbic money market?
It's not on the MBS list. Usually, IRCC sends them a letter to confirm the said balances and current availability of the funds and they officially respond through their legal department. That's where my POFs are too.

It will end in praise.
