It looks like a very beautiful city, but could you please talk about their attitude to foreigners?

Are they nice/hostile when they see black people?

IleanwaO:
Good day everyone. Please I need information co concerning the medical exam we do after getting our ITA. Is it advisable to do I before hand to save time and I would also like to know the price. Their website is currently down. Thank you

It's best to go for your medicals after you get ITA. I am not sure they would even allow you to do it if you don't have ITA

Ayrastarr:
Sorry, this question might sound a bit dumb.

but how do one get into social works without a degree in social work /sociology

I am not really sure but you can explore teaching careers as well. There were some education draws done last year.

zinachidi:
Hi guys, please I need responses to some questions.

1. I'm moving to Canada next month, how do I move my funds in my Nigerian account to start life over there?

2. Also, People in Canada, (Ontario especially) are there any educational grants (not loans) to support an MBA student who is a permanent resident (I know about OSAP already)

3. Apart from FB marketplace and Kijiji, where can I find legit apartments for rent

4. Best job sites and Canadian CV template


Please I'm doing my own research, but I also like getting insights from people on ground

Rentfaster.ca

Ayrastarr:
Please, what careers?

Isn't Support workers under TEER 4

Yes. It's under TEER 4 but you can explore other nocs that are under the health care category like social workers and the likes.

Profgordons:
Are you sure the study route is harder than French or you mean it’s more expensive?

It's quite expensive and I also think it's not as straight forward as French

Please correct me if I am wrong but most people who studied in Canada are eligible for PR under CEC and PNP. Some students who studied the right courses in the right provinces can easily get PNP but those who are unable to get PNP, will have to apply for PR under CEC draws.

The challenge here is that some of them don't have high scores for CEC. The CRS for this category is around 521 or so and some can't meet up with it and have to go back home to get foreign experience or learn French to qualify for French based draws.

This why I said it's harder than french.

pepe1:
A beginner just about to start French classes.

Please, I'd like to know the chances of success through this French pathway for those of us in our mid forties.

Appreciate an honest response. Thanks

Bonjour 🙂

Learning has nothing to do with your age. It just boils down to your level of motivation. I would advise that you check your eligiblity and calculate your CRS to include your future french scores to see if it will be worth it.

If your CRS is less than 399 with the french scores, I think you should explore other options as French would get more competitive in the future.

smartkester:
We are entering 2026, please I'm genuinely asking, Is Canada Express entry still feasible for us looking to migrate without having to write French?. The CRS scores keep increasing everyday. The older one gets the lower the chances. Please who can honestly give some words to this. It's actually tiring at this point. So much money has gone down doing WES and IELTS and yet nothing.

Please don't mention French o

Bonne année 2026 🙂

You can try switching careers to one of the occupations eligible for the category based draws or explore PNP.

Entry to Canada is becoming more difficult with each passing day so I would advise you to act fast. If the above options don't work for you, you can explore the study route but that is much harder than learning French.

Je vous souhaite le meilleur.

Hey guys, I currently got ITA for health category draw. I used my banking experience back home for foreign experience and my current work experience in Canada in NOC 42201 which got me the ITA . Now I’m confused, am I supposed to also provide reference from my foreign work experience in Nigeria or can I just use only my work experience in Canada while putting in my application?
Please advise the best way to go about this as I’m a bit scared that my work experience in Nigeria the job description might not fit the NOC code I selected

Your question is not really clear. Did you use 42201 as the NOC for your banking experience in Nigeria?

Also, how many years of work experience do you have in Canada? If you remove your Nigerian experience from your profile, would your CRS fall below the minimum score for your round?

Answering these questions will help people guide you.

Hello everyone,

Please, I need advice.

I submitted my passport through VFS Lagos on November 10, and it was received by IRCC on November 11.
So far, my application has not been updated and I have not received any message about passport return. My program is scheduled to begin on January 6, and I’m getting concerned.i have submitted many webform speaking of the delay but the tracker shows they’ve received them . But still nothing

For those who have experienced something similar:
• How long does it usually take for IRCC to update passport details?
• Is this delay normal?
• Is there anything else I should be doing at this point, or should I just keep waiting?

Note : i called vfs but the said it’s with iccc

2. Called ircc they said there is no update yet on my passport but they agreed to receiving it But ircc Ottawa said they can’t give me Much info on my application since it’s made outside Canada

Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

IRCC Ghana office takes an average of 6-8 weeks to process passports for visa.

Some have had their passports returned under 2 weeks while others, 2 months. There is nothing else you can do but to be patient.

marrrrryyy:
..

I heard that IRCC does not accept POF from Globus bank

IamDebbie:
Good morning all
I need a study partner please

Learning on my own is very tiring

Do you have a tutor?

Nedu2144:
Is anyone here who wants to share a month subscription. Please reach out to me. The subscription started today and i want extra 3 people max for sharing.

Thanks

I don't think things like this should be on a public forum. You don't know who is watching. Some things are better done within private groups.

NwunyeAlberta:
Hi All,

Happy to share that after nearly 1.5 years of studies, I cleared my 1st (and last) TCF at Alliance Francaise Lagos and received ITA yesterday in the French draw.

French took my CRS to 508 which was way more than the CRS needed for the draw, 446. I am truly grateful to God.

I'll be back to share tips and advice but first, a big shout out to all the OGs who made this thread such a valuable resource. Each time I was discouraged, I would come here and read stories of people who had made it.

N.B. If TEF is showing you shege, TCF might be a source of respite. Don't sleep on it.

Congratulations! 😀

aurorae1:
You're well within the time frame then.

Thank you for your response

aurorae1:
It is possible to appeal Expression orale. Reach out to the center (call or email) and tell them you want to remark. They'll send you the procedure to follow.
As long as you're still within the window to remark.

Thank you. Please do you know what the window to remark is? I just received the result yesterday.

Hello everyone,

There are also straight buses (sienna) from Berger to Eko hotel. It's 1500. You will find them around the BRT park.

DeAnonymousGuy:
Good evening nairalanders.
Please i need direction on how to get to the island tomorrow and how much it will cost. I have a very important interview tomorrow morning around Eko Hotel to be Precise And I am coming from the mainland (Ogba).

There is a straight bus to CMS from Ogba bus stop. Just go to the garage at Ogba bus stop and ask of CMS bus.

Alternatively, you can go to Berger and enter BRT to Marina. It's 375 naira from Berger via BRT.

Once you are at Marina/CMS, enter a bus to elo hotel. It's 300 naira

juniorrate:
GTCO have the best rates for mmf but i dont know why no one here talk about them

Maybe it's because they don't have an online platform. Anyway they just started having the best rates. As at Jan/Feb, it was United Capital

Abbasmh:
Please is anyone here using wealth.ng? What is your recent experience? Have they turned to scam? They've been ignoring me for weeks now.

I don't think they are a scam because the platform is owned by Sankore Investment which I think is a regulated firm but I am not too sure. You can check the list of SEC regulated entities.

.

civilserva:
Thanks. I am looking for 7% and above

GTCo is 8%

Slippy:
guys how does rising interest rate affect treasury bills?

The rates should increase but I have not seen any real increase. MMF is still 9%

Plus10:
Looks like the StanbicIBTC MMF daily rate is becoming poorer by the day,I don't just understand the daily return shown on my app,so poor!

Same with United Capital. My friend complains about it daily

mariahAngel:
Fake results that took them time to compile and release.
While men slept, they worked like thieves in the night.
Spits! 😪

Just because your candidate did not win doesn't mean that the results are fake. APC has a stronghold in Ogun State. I am sure the LP votes came from areas where they had universities and a lot of young people.

Think of rural areas in Ogun and Ekiti State. How many of them know Peter Obi? Most of them are not enlightened

ernie4life:
Expect money market rates to follow soon.

Now may be a good time to diversify into a fixed income fund

😳😳😳😳😳😳

ShaqFu:
Chai. When I made this post I didn't know Nigerians will start buying naira oh. Kai! 🤕

Nigeria surprises us everyday

Rates are falling and are now below 10%

chigo4u:
What mutual fund has the highest rate rn

GTco is 13%

United Capital is 12%
