Passed medicals since 6th December and haven’t heard from them. A friend’s wife passed her’s around august and she is in Canada now.

Your friends wife, where's her visa office? What's her timeline like? Seems they stopped giving out Pre-Arrival and DM since October(may applicants)

I did not miss any document. It was all because I wrote the P.O Box address as my residential address. What they should have ignored.

They don't ignore anything.

I passed my medicals. Waiting for the next step

You could have typed this on Google and got the answers you needed

I typed this in Google and got confusing results. Details from anyone trading crypto here as regards the best platform to use with cheap fees will be nice.

Lindner:
You're correct. Diving straight into Solidity may not be a good idea for a beginner. Nothwithstanding, I've seen people without any prior programming knowledge trying to learn it but they suffered ALOT. They still end up writing smart contracts and deploying it to the blockchain but they still lack that basic foundation. Because it's an emerging technology, most employers too are not particularly keen about blockchain experience, they however require strong programming experience and knowledge of fundamentals.

Thanks for stating this. It's my end goal. Just want to be good enough with advanced js and react,get a job with it and then Jump into it.
There's no crowd in that space at the moment

Lindner:
Yeah. The IT ecosystem is wide and deep. The best way to stay sane is to choose a niche based on passion and stick to it. I've done frontend, backend and full stack roles but it bores me to death. My newly found love is blockchain engineering especially decentralized finance. Perhaps because of my background in banking. Writing solidity codes that could potentially handle several hundreds of millions of dollars would send your heart racing knowing a single vulnerability could wreck the lives of thousands of people. It's like writing codes on drugs.

I really wish more people would consider blockchain development. That ecosystem is exploding and employers are desperate for talents. Unfortunately, it's when it becomes saturated, that's when you start seeing posts like "Help, I want to learn blockchain development". In 2020, the demand for blockchain developers grew by 512%. No other skill in any field had such growth and they're the highest paid also from statistics. With what I've seen in 2021, that growth is most likely going to be doubled.

I may be wrong but for one who is new into tech and is basically looking to land his/her first job in tech don't you think diving into solidity is a little bit too steep? Also I think it requires understanding of javascript before one can go into solidity. Also most employers wand experienced guys and not a newbie working on contracts. Please correct me if I got it all wrong

airsaylongcome:
@Lindner and other more experienced remote workers, can we create a community to provide advice to potential Nairalanders looking for advice on how to navigate the murky waters of IT Remote employment? I'm thinking of a Slack (or Mattermost) group where only invited folks can join. Using Slack/Mattermost (as opposed to having a thread here or creating a WhatsApp or Telegram group) will provide a way of restricting those who can join while allowing prospective remote workers get accustomed with Slack which is a major Collaboration/Communication software for remote work. The community can serve as a means of "giving back" while empowering prospects with info of where to source for remote work, how to go about applying and all other contributions we can give. This is an honest no-ulterior-motives suggestion

I'm heavily interested in this. I've been learning web development for quite sometime now. Taken part in some internships(hng internship being the most profound) but haven't really pushed anything to production to be used by others. By 2022 I should be in Canada and I seriously want to position myself for the tech job opportunities over there. I'm very much open to suggestions.

Transmission fee is totally different from DHL courier fee, talk to DHL about the insurance fee, overall of everything you will pay to DHL should be below 20k NGN.

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

How I sent my Passport to Abuja.

I did my Biometrics in Lagos but I sent my passport to Abuja,
So I had to pay a transmission fee of NGN 8,920 to this account
CANADA LOGISTIC COLLECTION ACCOUNT (a/c no 0065165839) sterling bank.

I bought a fresh brown envelope and added the following documents, so follow:

- Your International Passport itself (That your passport !!)

- Print only 1 copy of the transmission fee payment receipt and put in your envelope

- 2 copies of your passport data page (I printed it in colored copy)

- Those stapled papers that was given to you after the completion of your Biometrics (put them as it is [original copy] not the photocopy)

- The PPR letter (1 copy)

- 1 copy of the Consent form (I filled and signed the second page only) . Download the consent from here: https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/dominicanrepublic/pdf/Consent-Form-TTS-English.pdf


- A plain sheet of paper where you can write your address and phone number (this is not really needed though, but I added it)
NOTE: I paid for 2 ways Courier at DHL and insured it to and fro

2 courier means: As I am sending my passport to Abuja, I want Abuja to send back my STAMPED passport to the address I stated on the Courier.

Thanks for sharing this vital info.
Does the #8920 include insurance fees too?

Hessian:
In my opinion, I believe they have the right to be optimistic. However, that optimism should not close their eyes to other opportunities.

Cheers!

Fair enough. Maybe they are just keeping the thread alive with latest info

Pamelanie94:
I did my biometrics there and I also learnt it’s faster than Lagos.

Okay

allthingsgood:
wow i just say make i check this group. Una still de here



when men don find levels tey tey.


Ndi i must enter NNPC. Lolzz

I'm still surprised people are optimistic about the final outcome of the process for EH.

Pamelanie94:
I got my PPR on Friday the 24th, please has anyone sent theirs out? If yes, what are the steps taken? I’m based in ph and I plan on using DHL to send it to VFS Abuja.

Congratulations!
Any special reason for picking Abuja over lagos?

LOVEGINO:
