Car TalkRe: Ever Ordered A Car Abroad While In Nigeria & It Worked? Share Ur Experience by DTOBS(m): 11:18pm On Jul 02, 2025
Hello Bro, I would like to send a message to you on WhatsApp, but the number in your signature is blocked.

I would like to do business with you.

Please drop your WhatsApp number.

Thanks

9icetoo:
The process he described is legit. I am not vouching for him. Just the process.
Here's how it goes.
1. You choose from any of the auction sites.
2. You set your maximum bid price.
3. We bid at your max bid price. If it is won at a lower price, it's your gain.
4. There are auction charges to be paid asides the bid price. This is dependent on the auction company, location and bid amount. Usually around 1k dollars but can go as high as 3k dollars depending on the value of the car purchased and the auction site. Typically for the regular cars we buy, it's between 800 and 1500.
5. The vehicle has to be trucked out to the port. Price is dependent on the nearest shipping port or shipper location. Again budget between 275 and 1000.
6. Shipping. See above. Price is dependent on port ans wether it will be Roro or containerised. Forklift prices apply too if forklifted.
7. Buyer fees (negotiable), transfer charges (typically 30 dollars), title fees etc.
8. Clearing. This is dependent on custom valuation and exchange rate at time of arrival.

Roro is faster. Containerised takes a slightly longer time. Shipping takes anywhere from 3 weeks from purchase and drop off at the port to 3 months or slightly more.

All processes are transparent.
You can chose to make all payments yourself (expect delays) or let us handle it for you (usually no delays).

For the avoidance of doubt, there may be miscellaneous expenses such as storage at the auction yard, port etc due to unforseen issues but these are not common and are not expensive to accommodate.

My contact is in my signature. Cheers.

Thanks so much bro!

You have really been helpful!

studycenter:
This is not true. Use the right CLB equivalent between the two test to calculate.

IETLS, CELPIP, PTE core, anyone you choose to use give the same score.

The advantage of having all three is making decision between which one is easier to pass. I can tell you for free that it's currently PTE core (ask the Indians, that's what they all take now).
From its shorter tasks to less test time duration and its 3 modules against the other 4. Plus you have the advantage to practice with direct test questions and exact test template before your test. You practice and replicate to get your desired band score.

We can help with providing comprehensive preparatory material for all of the listed test and also offer guide. Reach out below:08106337690_

Congratulations sir…


Bassman14:
Guys!! .. I finally received my stamped passport with COPR letter this week! It's been a journey of patience and hope.

Story:
I initially planned to start the process in 2020, even took the CIIN exam for additional degree, but one thing led to another and I moved to Dubai instead.

I got married to my wife in January 2023 but couldn't bring her over cause of the Dubai ban on Nigerians hence we decided to attempt the express entry program again with me being the main applicant.

Timeline:


IELTS July 2023
WES evaluation August 2023
Entered pool August 2023 with CRS score 488

Got invited and accepted Alberta PNP September 2023 (sibling lives there)

ITA - October 2023
AOR - November 16 2023 (used sale of land and salary account as POF, Upfront medicals)

Biometrics - January 16 2024

ADR - April 3 2024.. Payslips for a year, Educational diplomas, IMM 5669 Schedule A, RPRF payment receipt

PPR - May 2

I submitted my passport to Abudhabi VFS and got it back within 2 weeks. My wife submitted in Lagos, it's still at Accra OC, hoping to get it back soon.

Thank you all for the support and to everyone still hoping and trying, no give up oooo!!!!

Hello guys,

Please I just noticed something now that IELTS give more point than CELPIP. I didn’t believe this at first but I actually did a rough CRS check and it was through. I picked the highest score for each exam and the CRS score differ while every other parameters was constant.

Please who can also confirm this as I am about to finally decide on which to write. Thanks.

Please see the images below… the 418 is CELPIp and the 438 is IELTS

Use the job portal on the canada.ca website.
You can also check each provinces for some specifics job for that province.
When applying from Nigeria, your attention should be on jobs that is open to those outside Canada

Hi,
There is an address that will be displayed for you on the WES portal together with your reference number. Use that address when applying for the transcripts to be sent on your school portal.

GreenDee:
Hi, Goodday.
Please will WES send the reference form to the school, after you pay the WES Fee. Because I am confused, uniben online transcript application requires an address or official email address for the transcript to be sent to. Should I include WES courier address. Thanks

Hi Bro,

I think we have some things in common. I am also focusing on Saskatchewan because of its flexibility in the PNP program and trying to explore the Non-EE Stream which I still consider smooth and easier.

If you don't mind, may I ask what stage are you currently in? For me, I am waiting for WES to finish up with my evaluation, and then I have booked my CELPIP exam for the end of June, so technically, I am looking at the first week of July to create the profile on the Sask website and enter their pool as well as the federal EE pool.

We can connect on WhatsApp if you don't mind to further provide support and guidance for each other. Let me know if this interests you.

Singingbae:
Thank you so much for the clarity. More reason I want to focus on saks is because I don’t have any sibling in Canada and I heard saks don’t require that. Yeah, I’m an field service engineer that transitioned into data science, I know my skills will be in demand

Thank you so much for your response....

I really appreciate

amikable97:
From what you just quoted, it looks like it is your wife that can claim points through her in-law as the primary applicant. As the relationship is directly linked to her (her uncle’s wife).
But if you decide to be the primary applicant you can’t claim the point o.
This is the much I can say. If you have further questions on this issue I suggest you seek the opinion of a licensed IRCC lawyer or representative. Some of them take consultation for a fee.

If you write CELPIP and pass, writing IELTS should not be in question as it will not be counted (except you have too much money to dash British Council) because they are test of the same language ENGLISH.
TEF or TCF are the only tests you can take for FRENCH ie (Second Language).

Thanks bro for your response but I am a bit lost.

So, I am writing CELPIP soon, for the second language test, can i write CELPIP/IELTS that is english again or what? Or the second language test I must have must be another language outside English that is French.?


studycenter:
You can take either CELPIP, IELTS or PTE. All are English language proficiency test. You want to claim dual language, then it's either of the three and TCF/TEF (English + French)

Hello bro/sis,

Once again, thanks for your response to my question yesterday. So I went back to Saskchewan webpage and tried to read more on the requirement for the family support. For the category I am planning to apply to which is "Occupation in-demand" in Saskchewan (does not need me to have a job offer or a federal Express Entry Profile), below is the requirement for the family support i saw:

"Close family relative in Saskatchewan
The applicant or accompanying spouse has a family relative that is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Saskatchewan and is not supporting any other family relatives at the time of your application. Eligible family members are a: parent, sibling, grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, first cousin and step-family members or in-laws of the same relationships. The family members in Saskatchewan must meet the requirements as listed under “Required Documents” for your ISW sub-category. If your close relative in Saskatchewan has supported other relatives before your application, you must submit proof that the nominee who your close relative previously supported has been settled successfully in Saskatchewan for at least six months."

With this, is it still feasible to use my wife uncle's wife?

Also, on the 2nd Language Test, I am planning to write CELPIP by Jun this year, can I also write IELTS as the second language test or it has to be french test that must be the 2nd language?

Thanks

amikable97:
You Cannot use a distant cousin to claim points. Only direct siblings. I think that Manitoba is the only province that accepts extended family ties and friends but trust me, proving the relationship is not a walk in the Park... Try and go back to your drawing board and restrategize.

Hello Guys,

Gradually, I am progressing on this journey and sooner than I think, me too will share my testimony of the PR.

Please, I need clarification on this issue gurus in the house.

I am targeting Saskachewan Non Express Entry Stream. I have calculated my CRS Score on the Saskachewan website (directly from IRCC website) and the Max point needed is 110. I intend to use my wife's distance cousin's wife who is a PR in canada as a proof of family tie. My question is "Is this possible and Feasible?". If it is possible, this will give me additional 20points and that means, I should be getting an ITA from province of Sask in their next draw. Also, if it is possible, what supporting document(s) will I and the person I intend to use as the proof of tie be presenting?

Please, I will be waiting for your answers.

Thanks so much guys

You can use either of the options below:
1. GTBank USD Debit Card. It has no transaction limit
2. Pay4Me App: All you need to do is download their app and pay in Naira, however, their charges is a bit high
3. Get someone in Canada to help you pay. (this is the cheapest)

Please I need help on this

I tried paying for WES using Wema Debit card which has a monthly limi of $500 but it did not w work. So I tried using the Western Union Money Transfer Option, so I got a WES reference ID but never got a payment order to pay Western Union.

I checked online and this seem to be a big problem for people. Please I need help

Should I create another account and do another evaluation or do I go about paying WES.

EducationRe: Am Having Issues With Wes by DTOBS(m): 11:01am On Apr 22, 2024
Thanks boss!

I later paid with my GTBank USD Debit Card.

The issue I was facing before was the transaction fee which I was not putting into consideration, so I just had to fund the card with above what is needed and it worked.

meetme01:
Find someone abroad to pay for you or create virtual card (grey.co)

You can send before payment. Just ensure your WES number is on the documents sent to WES

Best of luck

Hello
I hope this message meet you well.
Pls how did you go about your WES evaluation process.
What mode did you take in sending your transcript to WES and how much does it cost you to process your application.
Hello!
So, I followed the normal process of creating an account with WES and then select IRCC as the destination for the evaluation. Then I proceeded to request for my transcript from my school to be sent to WES directly using the reference form given by WES.
For my school (OAU), the transcript cost 45k plus extra 350 for charges.

For the WES fee, it is $CAD260. I had to reach out to someone in Canada to help make the payment on my behalf while I send the naira to them when my GTBank USD debit card was not going through.

Hope this helps

Hello everyone,

Please I am facing a small issue paying for my evaluation with WES.

I have been trying to use my GTBank US$ debit card where I have some USD to make the payment for the WES Fee but it has been giving "Payment Failed" since. I have mailed WES to request why and they only sent one generic email back to me which is not even helpful.

Please, I am begging, who has a better and easier option to pay for the WES fee from Nigeria and can help? I also tried Pay4Me and after I had paid for the verification, I discovered that their charges for paying WES for me is over 25k naira which I don't even have currently.

Please, if you know of other means to make payment for WES, I will so much appreciate your help. Thanks so much.
