@DrOBD, There you have it another sceneries. I hope this further helps.

I have another question concerning POF. Assuming I need $26,292 for family or 5, can I state the exact amount on "how much are u bringing with you", or state a higher amount.

It makes sense to send ONLY your current passport, if there's need for old passport, it will be requested but its your call.
For child, the birth certificate alone should be enough since the child has an American passport.

Address is immaterial in your wedding certificate. People get married in one address and change house after marriage.

Best of luck.

Noted. Thank you

In my case I filled in my kids' Nigerian passports and used it for their medicals. Once we received PPR, I sent both and Accra chose the US passports so they only got COPR.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So if we decide to use child's American passport, there wouldn't be any need to state/send the Nigerian passport, yeah?

Is there any benefit of using Nigerian passport over US passport?.

There's a separate placeholder for birth certificate.

How important is the address on marriage certificate. On my marriage certificate is my family address which is a different state from where I was living at the time. Will this be a problem when filling address over the past 10 years on the post ITA form.

1. It's my understanding that Both passports can be added. No personal experience here so not too sure.
2. Only current passport visas and stramps are necessary. From experience though they've requested applicants to scan the old one (ADR). From experience too someone scanned both and application was rejected cos vo only saw expired passport docs. Your choice to make.

Thanks. I think it makes sense to add both passports. I hope other people with similar experience would share their experience.

For my child's birth certificate, should I scan it along with passport or as a separate document.

Dear all,

Thank you for all the great work you are doing here, helping newbies like us.

My question is on identification documents for children when filling the post ITA profile. Assuming the child is an American citizen and a Nigerian citizen, parents are Nigerians, and they live in Nigeria currently. Would it be necessary to input both Nigerian and American passport or just the American passport on the child's identification form. Child's birth certificate was obtained in the USA.

Secondly, is it necessary to scan all VISAs and stamps from previous passports.

Thanks.

Hi. You may wanna PM me because mbbs discussion is always a long and windy one. Lol!

This your response was why I dropped my email address earlier.

I am a newbie here (on this thread), a complete novice. I just started thinking of Canada a few weeks ago. I have a great job here, I work with an international NGO and earn well. My wife is also a doctor and works with an NGO as well. My interest is in public health and would love to continue my public health career wherever I relocate to. I have two kids(B3y and G1y), both of them are American citizens (thanks to Nairaland)
Sorry for the epistle, just wanted to introduce myself.
I have the following concerns:
1. For IMGs, are there public health opportunities for IMGs without a Canadian masters. Did my postgraduate here in Naija.
2. Is it advisable to evaluate Both my postgraduate and undergraduate degree
3. Is there any advantage for IMGs with fellowship from their home country
4. What is the total cost like for IMGs from start to finish
5. Does the number of years post medical school count, does it matter. What are the chances of IMGs with over 7 years post graduation.
6. My wife (and maybe me) would love to take the qualifying exams. Is it advisable to take the exams from here or wait till after one relocates.
7. Heard Canada is trying to restructure the healthcare system to favor IMGs, do you have any information.
8. Which state do you consider the best for IMGs.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks.

safarigirl:
Anyway, moving on to my reason for visiting this thread before I was distracted...

Ebuka is BRILLIANT!!!grin...even he can see through that dry gin ambassador which has further convinced me that truly intelligent people do not support Efe

Ebuka: Efe, you've spoken so much about being real. What is your definition of 'real'?

Dry Gin ambassador: I no fit talk am, blah blah blah (obviously because he isn't drunk enough to answer the question)

Ebuka: Okay. So based on your concept of real, which HM do you think is the least real HM?

Dry Gin Ambassador: Omo (some unintelligible gibberish)...I can't say o...(once again. Because he only has balls after he has filled his kidney with booze)

Ebuka (Punchline): Do you think you're being real right now? By dodging this question?

Dry Gin Ambassador: (Unable to answer, keeps smiling like Close Up ambassador)

Ebuka: (Leaves the otondo to stew in his pot)


Once again, I do not expect Efe fans to finally have the veil raised from their eyes by this small exercise, because their continued support overtime of this guy has turned them into zombies reminiscent of the type Buhari controls, however, I do feel slightly vindicated in my judgment

Efe is just another fake person masquerading as a Real G, Real G's no dey blow trumpet, their actions speak for them....for all of Marvis' flaws, she displayed a Real G trait today by stating her opinion of Debbie without sugar-coating it

Efe has been shown up by his own babe TWICE in one day. He should be ashamed of himself, but I doubt shame is a feeling such a person is familiar with, only a Real G would be ashamed after his babe shows more character than him


I end with the wise words of @Ebukaakara in reply to Tweet Oracle "He's humble, he's humble, na so we vote shoeless Jonathan, Humble humble, na so we vote Buhari, now see where we are today. Nigerians never learn"

Good night House, e go be wink

You know what, you are making him more popular. Why not ignore him.
People like us who don't really care will be forced to vote for him. This is a game and let everyone be.

The more you guys hate on him, the more you win him more fans.

For now, my best HM is Derby Rise.

Autos / Re: Naira Gain Against The US Dollar: What Will Happen To Greedy Car Dealers? by DrOBD(m): 1:31pm On Mar 25, 2017
chukel:
sometimes u just need to reason before you type. I agree Nigerians hate themselves. But reason this. Mr. A bought a car and shipped at $5000 last month when dollar was 520. The car is for sell now and u expect him to sell at the rate of 380?. Dollar is now 380, Mr. B buys same car at $5000 today in US at the rate of 380. It will take approximately 2months for that car to arrive. When it does, he will sell as he bought.
Scenario number 2
Mr. A buys a car is selling a car at 380k in Nigeria which today is $1000. Then naira depreciates to 520. If he still sells at 380k, he wouldn't have enough capital to go back to market to buy another car at the prevailing rate of 520 to a dollar. If u have never done any trade, just shut up and listen.
Sir, you didn't complete scenario number 2.
If that same man bought a car at 520k in Nigeria which was 1000 USD last month, and he sells that car at 400k, he will have excess of 20k and can buy that same car again at 1000 USD, because 1000 USD today is 380 Naira to a dollar. Who is fooling who.

Let your family understand that you love her and there's nothing wrong with being a single mum. If you eventually go ahead and marry, have it at back of your mind that your family might want to frustrate her. If you know that you will not be able to stand up for her and protect her against your family, kindly let her go.
Best advise so far

To God be the glory, wiffy has been cleared and stamped in for 6 months.

She flew Etihad at 36+ weeks, her POE was Abu Dhabi. I was scared initially because of the negative reviews I read about that POE. It wasn't bad at all. She didn't spend up to 15 mins in all (plus secondary inspection).

I'm too excited and tired to go into the transcript right now. But it wasn't more than what they usually ask, previous travel, evidence of payment or ability to pay and accommodation.
She was advised to keep her receipt as usual.

Awaiting DD's arrival.

Thanks to all regular contributors here, may God bless you all, amen.

Arrived JFK on Saturday morning...flew Air France. Wasn't asked for fit to fly. Flight was good esp d Paris - New York route. At JFK, airport was crowded, was fortunate to be called to the fast track cos of LO. CBP called us (my mum,my 16 month old daughter &i), was cheerful & playful.Just asked how long we were staying. Stamped my mum & i in for 6 months (tho my visa expires in 3weeks) and logged my LO in. Surprisingly didn't ask me for LO's receipts nor send us to secondary inspection to scrutinise if her medical bills were paid tho I had d receipts handy. We had a bag full of food stuffs(no thanks to my mum) but they were not seen nor seized. Was a good trip. Chillin in Delaware now, porting to Houston in 3 weeks. Still plan on using Dr E of Oakbend, yet to call her tho. I also plan on visiting the hospital before making a final decision. Second missionary journey looking blessed already.
Congrats. My own second missionary journey loading...... grin grin grin . So JFK is still a good POE.
