Dear family, I'm looking for a rental in South east/west Edmonton from the 1st of March. Two bedrooms. Anyone who has a contact or any advice on how to go about this would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hey,
sorry just seeing this.
I got a provincial nomination from Alberta towards the end of last year, been in the pool for quite a while with 425points.
So yeah, I'm one of the positive ones.
Do your research and get in the pool. Even with less than 400 points, you can get an ITA
All the best!

hello, sorry my comment doesn't answer your question. but please, could you share a bit on how you got your ITA?

Hello, house. Please I need some advice on filling out the vfs consent form for passport submission. my husband who is not the principal applicant will be submitting the documents at Lagos vfs. Do we need to fill his details on page 3 under indirect submission? thank you for your prompt response!

Hello hopefuls! it's been a while. I really tried to do this study visa, waited for so long. Not here to discourage anybody, but just to advise that you shouldn't put your life on hold while waiting for the German embassy. I've been doing my studies online, will even write my thesis here and hopefully get a visiting visa to attend my colloquium. There are many other options available once you have an European masters degree.
So don't give up just yet, and live!
Best of luck everyone.

Hello! To be truthful, I'm not sure it's feasible by that time. No interviews have been given except those before the lockdown and scholarship I guess. Can you ask your school for an extension? Let them know your situation �‍♀️. I'm currently in your shoes, taking classes online though my school has not given a deadline

OkpeJohn:
Please did anyone know or have ideal about Nigerian student group in German or particularly in Hamburg and how anyone can reach them?

And also, I have being admitted enrolled with matriculation number..
My Student account at stud.ip has being set up and I have started online course via zoom as no-one is allow for physical class now bcoz of covid19. And I need till January 15th 2021 to present in Germany, can anyone here know how this situation can be of a favour or advantage to securing visa before the schedule date?

Please I really need a candid brotherly love

Morning fam! Please any Hoschule Harz prospective or current student in this forum?please drop a line. Thanks

Nigerians are optimists and fighters! Don't get discouraged just yet. If this is not working, then we move! Sending you happy thoughts

KahyePubg:
Getting discouraged

Good morning fam! I stumbled across this article yesterday and thought to share. Maybe it will reduce all the propaganda about why we aren't getting interview dates. I'ts being experienced worldwide. Lets pray that they resolve this quickly...

Not exactly. I called Ms Herfurth when the wait was getting to me
She said to hold on till month end and take care of an appointment with the embassy for early Feb
I wanted to tell her, madam,no dates o. But I respected myself. So lets give them next week.

SOLARPOWER1:
@Lolade Have you heard from HS Harz. TIM

you're welcome!

all the best!

damofaith:
Please I'm a new bee here, please is there someone who can help me on admission to any Germany University here

Nothing o!

SOLARPOWER1:
Those who applied to HS Harz MEng Technology and Innovation Management any news after the last mail?

Ok

Zluky:
I sent you PM. Let's talk abeg

My sincere thanks. I've been through the website as well and they mentioned something along those lines

CoracleNG:
The school is obligated to return your semester contribution if you are unable to continue with the academic session you paid for. For some schools, you get the entire amount back if you make a request before the start of lectures, some even a month after that. If you request for a refund and present evidence of why you were unable to start, a form would be sent and the account number you fill on the form would be credited with the payment within a month.

This has been the experience of one of our team member here at Coracle and we thought to share.

We wish you all the best in your future endeavour and hope to see you in Deutschland soon.

I am Cat B...lol...but I'm not sure what you mean. the school said if i send in documents, they'll send semester packet by April to my address in Lagos.does this make me a legitimate student?

Jubrilawest:
If you are in cat A , I'll suggest you pay the semester contribution. Ask if your enrollment can be done by proxy so that you become a legitimate student of the school while still in naija. If you belong to Cat B, na gobe be dat oooo.

yes, got my admission confirmation
they are however asking for the semester contribution by 25th
when embassy has refused to give AD. anybody ever got a refund of semester fees?

Zluky:
How far? What did you see?
Nothing on mine o. Still prufung der Bewerbung. I don tire jare.

Any CMM hopeful got response yet?

please could you ask them for more info?
when did they book an appointment, what of BA and SL? Cat A or B?

Yitchaq:
Good morning everyone, two people got dates this morning, but they are not on Nairaland

Good morning fellow hopefuls ...I really hope the AD for the summer semester starts rolling in soon. some of us are getting antsy...in other news, did anyone apply to the technology and management MSc at Harz University of Applied Science? I got a mail from them this morning, I hope I'm not on a long stroll. Kindly reach out.

Yes sir, exactly

SOLARPOWER1:
Do you mean masters in Communication and Information Technology in uni Bremen...I applied for Msc Control, Microsystems and Microelectronics...no news till date

I really cannot say what's going on. The mail just entered my inbox. Maybe you hold on like they advised... By God's grace it will come through

BabajideAdedeji:
The last time i contacted them to ask for update, i was told to chill till January ending. Still nothing from them yet, no mail, no update on "moin bremen portal". What's up pls?

For summer 2020

Luxiana19:
Please is your admission at Uni Bremen for Summer 2020 or Winter 2020, Im confused.

@Lolade30

hello! I'm yet to receive my admission letter. I got a mail directly from the department. they said the admission letter would come in a few weeks. when did you apply? just hang on,your mail may be on the way.

dipotol:
Please when did you receive your admission letter because I also applied for this course and I have not heard from them. Thank you

thank you ...will commence fasting and prayer for my sponsor asap

JosephAdeoba:
. I remember somewhere on this thread a similar questions like this was asked, mind you, your sponsor must provide 853euro for you every months for the duration of your studies in Germany and for your child an additional 500euro will apply for your child. So 853 + 500 Euro that's 1, 353Euro monthly, there is a place on the formal obligation where your sponsor will made mention of your child, so I hope your sponsor is capable of providing 1,353Euro for you and your child every monthly, If yes then you are good to go.

hello house. all the info here has been enlightening, many thanks to all contributors. Quick question: I have a relative who will write me a formal obligation but I want to go with a child. Does anyone know if the obligation can include a child? if not, should I present financial documents to prove I can care for the child? Though if I were the consular officer, I would wonder why I can care for my child but not myself. I have admission to masters in communications at UniBremen and awaiting AD. Anyone with info kindly assist. Thank you

Hello everyone!

Please has anyone used a midwife? Maybe considered a home birth? (Trying to cut cost)

I've contacted a few and the price out of hospital is 3500 with all pre natal and post appointment plus birth which two midwives would attend. Is it worth being out of the hospital cos you eliminate that cost.

Of course if any complications show up, they move you to a hospital.

Anyone with this experience or any advice is welcome.

Merci beaucoup!

mizgene

Thank you!

Could you please suggest other areas that are less restrictive and cheaper as well
Im planning to feed and accommodate myself cos ive had experiences with some dragon like family members abroad.
Thank you for your response, appreciate it!

mizGene:
1. No you don't. Book a hotel and you are good.
2. I doubt. You may be able to in some provinces but don't think you can in Manitoba (at least for Winnipeg area)
3. Agent what? Do it yourself!
4. Manitoba (winnipeg area) is a bit expensive compared to other provinces I hv heard abt here. There are only few hospitals for obs services in Manitoba and only 2 in winnipeg. It will cost about 7100$ for mother and child per day(4605 for mother, 24...something for baby) now they hv a policy where ur obgyn will hv to apply to the hosp on your behalf and when approved you hv to make a prepayment- 2 days for normal delivery and 3 days for CS. I guess one can get discharged after 1 day and get a refund. ..
Doctors' delivery and consultation fee is another one

Last time it cost me about 1500 now I'm looking at 3500 for same doc as before o. The alternatives aren't looking cheaper so far...one is quoting 5k for delivery...

Then ultrasound is about 1077 per session at the hospital. Not yet sure if there are private places one can use for now.
Plan about 200 for tests. 400 ish for circumcision. Amd about 300 for paed consultation.

So my advise, unless you have family here, just go to one of the less restrictive areas.

hello everyone. This thread has been extremely helpful, thank you. Please Im 21 weeks and just about to start my application, i have a few
questions
1. the online application says i need an invite letter. Is there any way around that?
2. Can canadian hospitals do installment payment plan like US does or you have to have all the cash
3.Do i need an agent or can I just do this application myself
4.Anybody with experience in Manitoba? thats where id like to go
many thanks

Hotstepper:
Hello Everyone! Happy New Year. I hope everyone is doing great.

I said I was going to clear up some things since it is becoming rampant with mums who come in to have their babies.

I know there are agents in Nigeria who are in this thread who get people from here as clients and there is nothing wrong with but but please try and paint a better picture.

Now my observation plus experience from mothers who came in nd reached out to me, thus why I decided to take out time to clear up issues. It is 8:45pm Eastern Time.

1.Make sure you can comfortably sponsor your childbirth trip.

2. Please Canada is NOT US. You can see my "NOT" is all in Capital. Please if you are not ready for Canada, stick to the US. They are 2 diff countries with 2 diff policies. While US is a Capitalist country, Canada is a Social Welfare State. Canada has free medical and US does not so Canada has a one -tier health care system. Drs here can do without international patients and be very fine.

3. Let no agent tell you that you can have a baby in Canada plus accomodation, omugwo, pick up nd drop off for 6000 CAD..7000 sef will not be enough.

4. If you are going with an agent in Nigeria who probably has not been to Canada ( most of them now add Canada to their plan cuz Canada is now hot for childbirth),make sure u know exactly what their services cover. Alot of things I did in 2018, I will not repeat it in 2019. If ur agent in Nigeria just collects ur money nd u come nd what u r told is not what u see,please manage it like that nd try and speak up so others will learn .

5. budeget atleast 1000/1500 for accomodation cuz it depends in the city u live in. Canada is very large so getting from point A to B is far. Toronto is like lagos, even if say u get a dr for 1500, ur accomodation might be the same price or more and that is if you see. I know someone who paid 80 dollars a day on Airbnb nd couldnt cope after 2 weeks then contacted me and I know how i tried to find acxomodation for her.

6. If you are aware you are preggy, please try and start yoir visa application on time. most people says they travelved at 36 weeks to the US plz dont try it for Canada unless it is really not ur fault cuz its war finding drs on a normal day then imagine at these stage of ur pregnancy.

7. If you are coming with kids,please most times do ot expect to be in 1 bedroom in somebody's house. Also have in mind thar even the no of people renting a place, determins the cost cuz landlord will factor light nd water bill and that is if you find as most people do not like taking people with little kida esp if he or sge lives in the house. Also, if you MIL, Mum or hubby will not be around,make sure u have arrangement for someobe who will look after the kids while u head to the hopsital. DO NOT DEPEND ON UR HOST U MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW. You cannot take the kids to the hospital with u because there are changes they will be taken away from u. Saying this cuz it almost happened to someone 3 or 4 months ago. I knoe someone that her hubby had to buy last min flight cuz of the condition of his family and had to lodge them in a hotel until they left canada so you can imagine

8. Do not be in a hurry to go and if you may,then u must start ur documentations on time, right away .

Enjoy ur week .
