mcstar: Thanks for the info. School is Lautech. So strike is an issue.

You don't have to have NYSC.....

IJESA83: What's is the name of ur university? Private or public if public go and pray 1st because of the useless strike. more so when do think U can get ur transcript and bear it in mind that Canadian embessy dey require NYSC either Exemption or other.it will be helpful

Not true bro.....if you keep silent about it.....then you can be lucky..most times why they will request for it is because you usually state that one year work experience on C.V which The discharge cert alone can verify. ...We have people here without NYSC....
Sister. ...you can try your luck....and package well..with good g.p.....NYSC na "small potatoes"

godG: If your long-term goal is to settle down in the US, you have your answer already. On the contrary, if your plan is to come back to Nigeria after your studies (like me; MA»»PhD»»Nigeria), I think changing your course won't matter. God + a MADE-IN-YANKEE certificate will make you dine with kings in Nigeria and be on top of your career. #My 50Kobo. Besides, why not think and walk to God for leading?

you left out something important bro......Personal development and skills......without that...Yankee pali can fetch you the job but will not retain it for you....

Welcomeote author=earthgreeners]Alhamdulilah.. Got to Winnipeg today, the Chill for here no be shere shere oooooo....travelled with my lovely brother dommakavelli, we parted at Toronto Pearsons.. Its been home away from home, thanks to my big brother here LFT. he is such a wonderful person..[/quote]Welcome bro....

dealexad: Congratulations, you're on your way to getting your trv, and lucky you that you don't have to pay fees or board. To all other awaitees, get ready!!!

You can't know if you are to pay school fees and board until after picking up passports. ...medical mails dont carry extra instructions. ....

dommakavelli: Hello family,

I've just entered newfoundland. will hola back as soon as am settled.

Congrats bro....Welcome

Abellybaba: Kjbobo did you try it, we have to go to the bank to request for that?

Nope. ..I speak with respect to paying with the Card..he did some transactions like that and sent the statements to me...

Following the evidences submitted by Oga Solomonwis. ..payments can indeed be made through Gtb mastercard on CIC website. ....thanks on the enlightenment sir.

solomonwis: You can give me your email address. I will send you some sensitive info. I don't mind closing the account afterwards. We need to understand how to stop arguing with experience, the reason why everyone is here is to learn, I am not exempted.

After I send you the info, then I guess there will be peace. So I don't keep saying nonsense with confidence ( I have assumed I misled everyone here, you will then come on here to tell whether that is true or not).

I await your pm soonest.

Sorry for taking you back a bit, I have been busy making money....

Okay sir....abeg send me some.....will p.m you...

funnyem: Please I want to know if I need to also get the Affidavit of support from the company sponsoring me. They told me that the letter of sponsorship is enough since it is a recognized company. Thank u!

Bros...dont try it....you need to get the affidavit along with the letter of sponsorship...the affidavit certifies your letter of sponsorship....and its not difficult to Draft. ..still chilling for my system to arrive...would have sent you a copy!
Be warned. ..that letter from your company is useless without affidavit...have a number of people given extra instructions to submit affidavit after medicals...
Like I said...go to all those high courts around and get it typed. ..your company just needs to sign and have it stamped by a notary.
All the best

kelly4top: solomomwis, please note that Canadian online visa application does not accept debit card even if it's master debit card. only credit card payment will be successful. Credit cards has an opening code with master or visa platform while debit do. So when the system detects the code is debit, it will not scale thru. I am speaking from experience.

Sure you tried to say "debit dont" right?
Thanks for comment bro......this is purely what I have known too.....

solomonwis: I really don't want us to go back to this again so we don't derail the thread.

Debit and credit card practically offer the same thing. The difference is that while credit card allow you spend money you don't have in your account up to a particular limit,debit card will allow you spend only the money available in your account. Using a credit card entails that you run a current account but you can link your debit card to either your current,savings or both. Maybe where people are getting it wrong is in this definition. I also understand from my findings that not all debit cards are enabled for online transactions some are mere ATM cards.

If what people call CREDIT CARDS are those cards which have to be funded before transactions are effected then my submission is right that what we have are look alike credit cards.

Regarding the token,even Humanshado couldn't agree with me less on that. You might not have experienced where you have to input your securecode using your card and that doesn't make that fact false. Kjbobo,I will advise you look through the previous post to understand that we are talking about NAIRA MASTER DEBIT CARDS not just debit cards. I don't know your background,but your saying the word “debit” does not connote it being useful for online transactions is an error. Please check that up again.

I have spoken based on personal experience and the proof are there for anyone to see.
Please let's move on so the thread won't derail.

Top of the day to everyone!

Brother..as much as I hate to argue....I am always sensitve about what I post here....but seriously your assertions arent totally true...as much as I will really like to understand what you meant by "you dont know my background"....okay I am a Pharmacist but not dumb to understand some basic banking policies....How will you tell me that a transaction not overseen by Gtbank will request for Gt secure I.d?Very honestly....I will appreciate you or Humanshado gimme an example....I believe the thread is about passing accurate info to the house especially for the sake of those that will later read in future. ..so there's no point killing an argument that we havent agreed on generally!
Secondly,when card options are displayed on internet....all we see is Mastercard option ...this is the first time I will hear it called "debit master card" and I have learnt that from you....so arguing out issues that increase relevant knowledge isnt "derailing" bro

ChriGo: ....@humanshadow ur name sef get as e be....so be real shadow....i wonder why its wen we have one arguement or the other peeps start trooping in with very useful and informative info.....i love the way u shed light on this.....i just wished alot of silent followers could come out of hiding and start sharing their useful info on this forum ojere.....anyway tanx humanshadow 4 d great piece of info.....

I agree with you on this

shayi12: Thanks bro 4 d info,however wen am trying to signup it says I need 2 select aprovider among the list dt was given?pls wich do I select bro?
Thanks

Are you already on any Canadian mobile network?I guess that should be it...cos I didnt have such question. ...maybe you should bring the options on board...and lets see...you can also p.m me..So we can look at together...

[quote author=solomonwis]You have to approach your bank to be sure your card is enabled for online transactions. A whole lot of people face this challenge and many seem to be at a loss as to what went wrong.

Now you are supposed to have a secure code/activation code for your naira debit card (which in Nigeria at this point, serve the same purpose s credit card). The difference between a credit card and a debit card is the fact that the former can be used to effect payment even when your account is in red up to a limit, the later requires that you have the cash equivalent of your transaction amount.

I can't count the number of times I have had to use the GTB NAIRA DEBIT CARD within and outside the country
Solomonwis. .[color=#006600]
..I hail thee sir....Are you sure about this explanation?
From the name sef..."debit" doesnt signify being enabled to make such...I bet u meant to say "mastercard" cos even in Canada you have access to 2 cards...e.g debit and say Visa(which is what I have now)..I will never be able to do online transactions with the debit but the VISA(even though its same account)
And as for the token....you dont need it before you can make online transactions. ..I had been using my gt card for two years for online transactions before I picked up token about 5 months ago...

I will bow to any superior opinion though. ..I hope this helps.....

piccadilly: hello nairalanders
pls i have questions i would appreciate answered as promptly as possible
i would like to study in canada
this Fall is already ruled out, and next fall is toooooo far
I finished waec in 2002. . .and been doing this and that until i entered university last year
now i want to use both my waec and the transcripts of my first year to gain admission as an undergraduate

1. Is my waec result still valid?
2. will the period between my waec and university affect my visa application
3. At 28 years am i too old?
4. when can i gain admission? like i said next fall is too far and i dont exactly have the complete money for at least one year in the bank for january admission?

Pls advice me. thanks

Bros....I understand the feeling that "Fall is too far"....but I think looking at your case critically...you need time to do a good job...both on admission level and especially with CDHC. ....renew your mind about Fall being too far....then we can take it from there(My opinion)

shayi12: hello house been really interesting down here.hows everyone? @oga siga and @fhemmy please can you tell me the best plans here in canada esp for international calling,data,bis and texting.your thoughts would be appreciated.

Check my qoutes probably two days back....I currently share flat with a guy who's been here for over 3 years...and he said its the cheapest he has seen.....I make calls 1cent per minute. ...though some numbers come on as 6cents per minute....which I believe its still fair for international calls

ChriGo: .....yes ooo ....i know u aint trying to scare any sir....just dat na that province i like pass ....and the info u gave came in handy....tanx.....

You welcome. ..now it doesnt mean. ..its gonna be zero...its just going to be reduced...for e.g Grad students coming in next year in my Faculty will get approx half of what we got....and this has nothing to do with Supervisor's grant if you are coming in for a research-based course....That one dey kampe!

Be warned...Alberta govt has cut down their budget on education. ...so no funding from next year....in Alberta....Especially the Alberta advantage award....Due to some technical glitch,Uni of Alberta is putting undergrad scholarships on hold too for the year....
So if you coming with cash...so its a good option!
