Charity shops.
British Heart Foundation is a good one that has a lot of stuff.
Before going on Facebook or Gumtree to buy secondhand white goods, make a comprehensive cost analysis compared to a new product. E.g. a new washing machine may be about 220 - 250 quid, but it comes with a warranty and delivery and you could get an inclusive installation quote. A second hand one on Facebook or Gumtree may be around 50 to 80 quid depending on condition, and you have to hire your own man with a van to transport it if you don't know anyone with suitable transport in your town, find an east European handyman to install it, then assume the risk that if anything is wrong with it you have to fix it (not cheap here) or dispose of it if fixing it is not cost effective, etc., etc.

I think electronics should not be bought second hand.

I’ve worn my shoe ready to go ikeja anytime the email drops.

I wish I was in Lagos to be able to do this The only way I can go to ikeja is if I get the collection mail before 12.

Good morning. Please has anyone’s “Application Transferred to VAC “reverted back to red? Or is it still the same way it is as at yesterday?

It's still the same

Hello everyone. We are trying to get a 2 bedroom apartment in Rochdale. However most are unfurnished. Kindly offer help on where we could get cheaper furniture such as bed, mattress and electronics like fridge and washing machine. I'm due to arrive on a dependent spousal visa and only wifey is going round looking for the houses.
Also for someone with USD notes in UK, how can one repatriate that back to Naija. The exchange rates at the post office and banks are terrible.

Tell her to go to thrift stores close to her. My partner got some household items from British heart foundation at good prices.
Also some Facebook groups give out stuff free. Just search for your area and add "free give or pass it on"

Jesus Christ!!! I just noticed a letter missing on one of my kids surname. Surname is Obayuwana and the Wakanow guys typed Obayuana on the ticket. We are boarding Thursday morning. Is it an issue or any advice?

Call them to change it immediately to avoid stories that touch.

Honestly, I've prepared my mind for 40 working days, which is Monday. But if I get it tomorrow, I'm going to amala skye to celebrate

byrees:
They should just give me my passport at this rate

This is day 37 already

You are almost at the finish line. Hang in there.

At the end, the previous responder advises not to attempt it .........


Something must kill a man/woman....... The original poster should kuku risk it and update us ........

lol abi óò. We will be here

ednut1:
apply directly to many companies. You only need one to accept as many will typically reject applicants not in Canada. The work permit process and documentation can be long and cumbersome. Many companies dont have that time. For agencies I wouldn’t trust them as most are scammers or will do promise and fail.

Thank you very much. I'll tell him to start applying directly.
Apart from Indeed and linked in, are there local job sites you can suggest for us please? Thank you once again

Let's assume omicron is blocking all parts of the world.......... An emergency situation.......

Qatar can only fly directly to UK (non stop).........

Wetin go hapin ...........

It's better to not risk it in my opinion.

Hello house, please are there genuine agencies that recruits IT professional living in UK and want to move to work in a Canadian company? I have someone currently living in UK looking for a ui/ux position with a company in Canada that can sponsor his work permit.
Thank you.

Chiall:
If the poster has a Canada visa he/she can travel to Canada from the UK. Read my post. I said "IF" he/ she has a Canada visa,he/she could. Since Canada is not visa free to Nigeria passport holders .

Ah no! I meant no offense. I thought one couldn't apply for Canada visa from UK because I plan to do that next year.

Debbieeeeeee:
For sure they’ll develop new rules around this new covid strain so it’s better to just fly as soon as passport is ready

I'm leaving second or third day after passport collection. I'd leave next day but for covid test.

DrObum:

Lol abi nau. What's the point of paying for tickets if I'm going to pay for seats again.

Fazfunms:
Hi there,

Since you have a Nigerian passport, you go through the normal process which takes time. Check the IRCC website for requirements. I think processing g takes about 286days now.

Almost one year? Kilosele

Chiall:
Do you have a visa issued by Canada? If you don't have it you can't travel to Canada from the UK. I am currently in UK. I just returned from Canada, that's because I have a Canada visa sticker. There's no time for you to do that application now.

You can't travel to Canada from UK for now? Why is that please?

Debbieeeeeee:
Prophetess is tired of waiting for collection mail o

My fear is this omicron àbí whatever covid variant they are talking about. I hope to get in before this people close their borders again.

DrObum:
You'll drop money for leg room. The bigger the leg room, the more you'll drop.

They can keep their leg room. I'm short.

Debbieeeeeee:
They want to rush us this week I’m waiting for collection mail as I am like this

Same ó. Just refreshing mail

RennyKitty:
Abeg who has tracked their application this morning. The biometrics enrollment part has changed from colour green ooo. While application has been transferred to VAC meanwhile today is just the 7th working day and no priority service was paid for. I suspect there’s an error with their system. Have seen about 2 more people with the same complain. Does anyone have an idea what is going on?

I just checked now and it's showing this as well.

DisGuy:
It's optional...you take the seat you're given, choose one of the free seats available or pay for a particular seat with all the extras...

Have you checked their website or your ticket for allowance? If child has own seat then normal luggage allowance

Thank you

Good morning. Has anyone used Qatar Airways recently?
I'm seeing an option to pay for seats after paying for the tickets, is this compulsory?

Secondly, what's the baggage allowance for a two years old child?. Thank you.

bukimireal:
Did they have different app. I mean TLS.

Mine is showing like this

This is the app
The other one is their website

[quote author=missjekyll post=108074348][/quote]Awwww thank you

luiginho2xl:
mail from TLS? What's biometric residence permit? Is it same as the visa?

It's the letter that comes with your passport but I guess they are sending pdf file instead now. The letter will be asked for at the point of entry and when you want to collect your residence card.

musty706:
Good evening house!!!!
Got a mail this evening that my biometric residence permit is ready for Collection and when I tracked my application …it is still at DMC….what does it mean ?

It means that your application was successful. You might get a collection mail in a few days

viktoh12:

Cancel and remove your card details from whatever site you used

Jxool:
