Another thing is the kitchen cabinets covered almost 70 percent of the wall… the tiles at the back of the cabinet is a waste to me… #personal Opinion though

Am happy, knowing that am not alone. Few weeks back we had this argument about tilling the whole kitchen wall, everyone I asked, told me that's how it's been done. I said why would I spend so much money to tile the whole area and then later cover it with cabinets. I told them to do what I wanted after all my current house does not have tiles all over the kitchen walls.

Sorry, how did you know there was a charge back, did the agent tell you? Because these agents will never disclose anything.

We also have her logging details. So, we knew whenever she got an update

Opsy14:
Hi congratulations to your niece... Please what's this charge back for and what's the procedural fairness about? Did the embassy request any documents after she got the charge back?

Charged back was on the $235 application fee paid by the agent. She was asked to explain why there was a charged back in the first Place. No, they didn't request for any document. But we supported the explanation letter with verifiable documents.

My niece got her PPR today. Her application was given to an agent to assist her by her parents since i was very busy back here, unfortunately she got a charged back leading to procedural fairness submission in August and this made me to take total control of her application. Am sharing to encourage someone who is in the same situation.

olasubomy:
Hi Jeff,

You need to transmit the documents to IRCC electronically.

Remember the process you took when you initially submitted your application, and you clicked next to make payment and signed electronically with your name before submitting your application. You would need to follow that same process to transmit it to IRCC. The only difference here is that you are not making any payment.

Once you do that, the status on your additional document section on your GC key would change to acknowledge receipt of your document.

All the best.

Thank you, it's for my niece. It's been submitted.

Andir:
If you go down you would see a “NEXT” button click on it, that is to sign then submit by clicking the “transmission” button

Thanks, It's been submitted.

Hi guys, please we just uploaded a document as requested under supporting documents, but am not sure if the document was uploaded properly from what am seeing. I want to be sure before the expiration day given to us.

It says uploaded not submitted, then beneath it, you can see the attached docs

See the attached.

Patocypher: Calm down, you have not committed any crime . Before responding, contact your agent to get details as to why the payment was reversed. This is a very serious issue. The procedural fairness letter Is not a matter of another person writing or drafting it for you. Your agent knows the true story about the chargeback. Just contact your agent and tell IRCC the truth in your explanation letter and attach proof if you have any. Another person who does not know much about the chargeback might assist you in writing it and you will land yourself into trouble. The same letter was sent to me on july 31, 2021 to Specially, Provide an explanation as to why the debts to the crown were incurred. I told them the whole thing because i used an agent and attached the proof i have with me and reply. Please pack your luggage and run away from Agent. Thats one of the disadvantages of using Agent. Is something you can do yourself.
It's well..

I have sent you an email, will like to chat with you. Please respond, so that I can send you my contact number. Thanks

Thanks to everyone. I will personally follow up with re-payment and if possible pay it from here.

Lianna2020:
Who paid the fees for you ?
It must be that the money paid was charged back .
Act as soon as possible

The Agent handling the application paid it. I myself live in Canada. How do we resolve this? Thanks to everyone.

Hi Everyone, please we receive the following from the visa Office in regards my niece application. Please could someone tell me what could have gone wrong here and how to deal with it. Thank you.

oliverjiad:
yes bcus truckers don't have stable price even the offloaded so I don't like giving something that's not my part assurance to client thats why we let client go for truckers to negotiate and deal with directly after I'm done with the clearing

My question the corolla only one in the container and yes 550k is best sir

Jaid

Thank you. other cars in the container are 2009 Toyota, 2011 Hyundai sonata and 2013 Toyota Avalon

oliverjiad:
550k offloading and trucking can't be decide till container is ready for gate out

Jaid

Thank you Jaid. Did you mean to say offloading and trucking would be decided later when container is ready for gate?

Is 550K last?

Hi Guys, Please what is the total cost of clearing a 2003 Toyota corolla including Trucking and offloading of the car. The car is a part of a containerized shipment with Hapag-Lloyd.

Thanks.

Heres me like, i b average maths student wey like to draw alot especially building related drawings/environmental drawings too. Heres my jamb subj comb, maths, physics, chem nd english. Please advice from experience persons in the field will be veryly appreciated. (if there is any word as such)

My friend, I would advise you to go for Civil Engineering. I have been there, even if you travel abroad there's always job for you once you are able to settle down.

Let me tell you a story.

My brother left school and job prospects in Nigeria and went abroad. He had a student visa, some dollars and was expecting a relation to pick him up at the airport. That was about it. When he got to the airport in Houston, no one was there waiting to pick him up. In fact, the relation called him and told him to start heading back, that he has no interest in having him around. He had nowhere to sleep. Hustle started. He had to go to the branch of our Nigerian church in Houston to beg to sleep. They pitied him and accommodated him, and allowed him to leave on the chairs of the church for a week until he got a restaurant job. He contemplated coming back home and in fact bought a ticket, took a taxi to the airport, but changed his mind at the last minute. Resolving to stay back, he intensified his "hustle", working in restaurants where they treated him like shit and started going back to school.

Five years later, he is now employed in two places, making north of $120k as a software developer. Planning to start his own company and offer jobs to his developer friends he left back in Lagos, many of whom are still struggling to find a good job. In fact, some of them are now working for him (online). He got his green card legally, and planning to marry soon.

What am I saying? Most Nigerians give up easily when they go abroad. Abroad is not a bed of roses. You have to work, have to show a strong desire to succeed. Nothing is going to be handed to you on a platter. For many Nigerians who have had it easy before travelling out, this is often difficult to understand. They find that they can't cheat the system. No lecturer will collect money from you to bump your score. You suddenly can't enter a bus without paying by lying to the conductor that you lost your money. Those tricks with which you survived in Nigeria no longer work. You have to learn new tricks. This is the part where many people fail and is probably the only lesson here. Whether you are in Nigeria or abroad, you have to show a desire to succeed given your environment. IF this desire is not there, failure awaits!

Like someone mentioned in the first or second page, traveling abroad is always good for someone who is single and under 30. I always tell my friends that have families and are doing well in Nigeria that there's no point coming abroad. You don't leave all your connections and traveled to uncertainties.

The truth is if you moved abroad legally, it takes you a minimum of 3 to 5 years to settle down provided you followed and do the right thing.

Like him or not this man affected positively lives more than you can imagine. A friend of mine in Minnesota always ask after him that he’s a god whenever he comes to the state and I was like shey na d same person wey my ppl say him Dey use juju. No wonder The Bible says “ A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown “. Continue to Rest In Peace Prophet TBJ

A white colleague was telling me about him just last week Thursday, he said he wanted to meet him. Not knowing he was going to die.

Thanks for following us
Actually it doesn’t add value to the cost of rent to this building so we add the money to the hand railing to have rugged wrought iron railings that will last the test of time.

Make sense! Thanks

rotecch77:
My OGA’s here we go with the current update of the work.

-Pop done.
-85pec electrical work done
- 75pec tiling work done so far

Noticed one thing though, your windows do not have window wood. Is it just the design, cost consideration or Any reason for that?

rotecch77:
More pics

Questions are welcome
We never tired of that.

Nice job! Following .

Ibk2020:
pls someone should help here

I think you should be able to beat it down a bit, for a 3 bed bungalow. The woodwork seems right, 12mm should be enough for the roof beam, depends on what your structural drawing says anyway. So, negotiate the workmanships for woodwork 70K and concrete may be 50K.

Also see if you could save some from materials. I will say maybe around 650K to 700K in total.

Sheers.

Hi everyone, please i need a good plaster sand around iyana-ipaja area. Thanks for your help.

Nothing from you dropped yet

@Davodyguy thanks for your reply.

African food included in your grocery shopping?

Yes, that's what we eat most. for me, I only eat plantain and wheat flour as solid.

GloShare:
For real?

Yes, I can break it down.

For a family of 5. Province, Alberta.

1. Mortgage =$2,500 (ppty tax & insurance included)
2. Grocery Shopping = $900 (African food, Eat out Inc.)
3. Utility bills (electricity, shaw and mobile phones) = $700
4a 1 Auto loan and insurance = $730, we have 2 cars one is paid off. and one is on loan
4b. Auto Gas = $200 wifey doesn't drive much
5. Day care for the last child= $800/month
6. Miscellaneous =$200

Total = about $ 6000 monthly

Ekpekus:
E shock you too abi?

He's right, I spend more than that. He said communications, phone and home.

I live in Alberta and for a family of 5, we (Wifey and i) spend about $5500 to $6000 every month.

loveymom:
You have a kid and you spend $150 monthly for groceries? This is hard for me to believe

House rent $400 a month is it a shared rent?
Electricity $25 a month, wow

You are right, something is missing, how can he be paying $400 for rent living with his family. Even shared room is about $500 to $600 and 2 beds basements are as costly as $800 to $1000. Though we dont know the country, am sure not North America.

neurosci:
And you know what's funny? I can tell you that no girl will ever frown at you here! I have never seen an oyibo guy or girl frown at me or anyone else EVER since I came here. Unless you do something extremely terrible. The weirdest part is, even when you offend them or say something mean, they will still smile at you. But if you take that for friendship, you're on a lonnnng thing. In fact, my first culture shock when I arrived in the US was the smile. Right from the airport in New York, there was this girl who just kept smiling at me. Initially, I thought maybe she knew me from somewhere, but it was less than an hour since I arrived so she couldn't have known me anywhere. But she just kept smiling. Bro, I can write a whole book about this smile issue in America. But trust me, all that smile na wash. I would rather earn someone's smile than get a fake smile.

Honestly, since I've been abroad that fake smile is one thing that I hate. Whenever I see any of them throwing a fake smile at me, I quickly changed my face to let them know that it's not welcome. If you've lived abroad long enough, you would recognize and know the things behind those smiles sometimes.
In those days, I have seen foolish men sent to jail over their fake smiles.

Ignore the other guy, he doesn't know what he was saying.

Mcslize:
Don't reply with a different account. I know it's you Neurosci.

You simply scared of talking to white girls maybe that's why.

It's nobody fault. Try and reach out to people irrespective of their color. Low self esteem is the greatest disease of the black race.

There are many threads here on Nairaland that will teach you how to talk to girls. E.g Hardon thread. Then if you don't want to be a woman wrapper, check out Glycolysis thread. They are all insightful. Stop being scared of talking to white girls. They won't bite you.

Bro. Be smart and listen to those guys up there. I've seen Nigerians get into trouble because they are trying to be friendly with the opposite sex. Where I was working there was this Nigerian guy, I believed he's not been around for too long. He got into trouble because he was getting too close to this white lady. The company fired him, God saved him they didn't call police that day. So, you may not be lucky doing most of the things you can get away with in Nigeria.

We have discussed on whatzap

Yeah, thanks.
