Somebody help me out... Trying to book on EgyptAir with their mobile app but it's charging ticket fee in Euros and we all know that Naira debit cards don't accept transactions in foreign currencies up to that amount, I've tried to change the country from to Nigeria but Naija is not on the the list huh? Anyone tried to book directly on their web or app and was successful should kindly help a brother. grin

Good Evening house,

I finally got medical request today, but there's a small issue. I applied with my 2 year old son and my 5 years old daughter. I got the letters for the clinic for my son and I, didn't find any for my daughter. Anyone had any similar experience before? What do I do? How can I enquire as the mail is a ''do not reply' e-mail. Thanks ahead.

Markab:
Thanks so much for the update.
I still don't understand the rationale behind these crazy processing time for Nigeria applicants while our neighbors in the sub-region do 5 weeks maximum.

Sometimes, I feel like going to Ghana or Benin republic to submit my application since I hold Ecowas passport (Lesse passé or as they call it in Seme) so as to enjoy the sweet processing time of 5weeks but I don't know if it's possible. Just thinking out loud
grin

I believe it will end in praise for us all.

Well, I can feel your pain. The one my wife used was issued at the big elephant bank. Though they admit funds can be exported under the cbn forex policies and the letter is issued based on trust and no staff of the bank or the bank itself should be held responsible for blah blah blah... A disclaimer as they call it. So try your luck

yomcy2016:
Hi Everyone,

Please I will love to know if anyone has been able to get a foreign reference/bank assurance in any of the banks. If yes, please I will like to know how you went about it and what bank to be precise. Cos, I took the advice of one of us here and walked into the bank to make a request...two banks to be precise and they both told me that there is a template which they all follow and which is from the headquarters.

Also said it wont be feasible to change the norm.

Please in such a situation can i be advised on what do to. Cos I am running out of time as I haven't submitted my study permit application and i am suppose to resume 1st of September...

Please can anyone with a good heart advise me?

I look forward to your response.

Thanks.

Have you been able to get the bank assurance?

CanadianNurse:
You will get a feed back within 7 working days, but if you choose to explore the 3rd option walk into any bank except diamond(they are id.ots) and ask for a foreign reference or banker's assurance.. Show dem the CIC letter tell them to make sure the two clauses reflect on the letter
Clause 1: the money is on deposit

Clause 2: according to Central bank forex policy the money CAN be exported not WILL be exported... No bank can guarantee you will export the cash because they don't know ya intentions they can only guarantee that the cash can be exported
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Markab: 6:04pm On May 18, 2017

nairalandnewbie:
@CanadianNurse please have you tackled the bank letter issue? Did u get a feedback from the canadian banks about opening an account from nigeria
Big elephant bank

CanadianNurse:
Yes you can open a bank account from Nigeria but it's long thin.... Diamond bank has refused to issue me banker's assurance even with 19milli in the account? Who knows any better bank abeg those that work in bank help ooo time is going

@markab which bank issued you the letter?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Markab: 4:51pm On May 18, 2017
Bro, she is on funding, tuition fully paid with 13k as living expenses per year. We only got the bank to write a letter that the money on deposit can be exported under the current cbn forex regime which allows for PTA to be given to applicants. That's all
CanadianNurse:
did the bank state that "$10k CAD" Is available on the letter? Did they state the fact that it will be allowed to be exported?

These are two things CIC wants to see in the letter 1,10kcad is available 2, the said available 10kcad can be exported.

Meanwhile can you shed more light on which bank and how u went about getting the letter
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Markab: 12:58pm On May 18, 2017
I have got the bank reference letter as advised. But I would like to send you her new letter of explanation for review.

Thank you sir
Austinpee4:
It should suffice. Also endeavour to get the bank reference letter concerning the funds you have in the SOA with possibility of it being exported.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Markab: 3:35pm On May 17, 2017
I believe if you secured yourself a supervisor and also submitted all the required documents, you will be admitted.
My wife got admitted after securing a supervisor who encouraged her to apply and also requested for her application number.

mcobex:
I don't think u need to resubmit soa, let the bank write another reference letter stating or assuring the vo that the cash will be made available(forex ) when it's time for her to travel. plus the funding docs . I think that should do
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Markab: 1:03pm On May 17, 2017
Soa, bank reference letter, affidavit of sponsorship were all submitted initially with her paper app, do we still need to reprint? And re-write?

mcobex:
the funding letter should do and also her soa (with a letter from her bank stating the #5mil or tge amoybt ger sposonr is pledging for her upkeep will be easily transfered to canada when it's time for her to travel)
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 12 by Markab:
Good day all,

As requested by cic to present a new letter of acceptance and also evidence of paid tuition and deposit of living expenses for the upcoming year, the institution has agreed to defer her admission and also sent in a new funding letter attached. Gurus should please help peruse, as I think the letter is explicit enough to tackles VO's request for tuition and living expenses.

Wife is on full funding of full tuition for two years and 13k living expenses per year and we also submitted a statement of 5M in the first application courtesy of father in law (bank reference and affidavit of sponsorship included while applying in January)

Will this funding letter suffice?

Cc. @eraytee, @thesoj, @yemdogg, austinpee4 and all gurus should kindly come to wife's aid oo grin

brianromel:
People say architecture jobs in Julius Berger. Please ask yourselves why would jb recruit architects.

From working with contract firms that work with jb I have come to understand that that job is usually outsourced to architectural firms internationally, locally to a few firms like James Cubitt

Big firms like Costain and jb only handle structural thousands road building and building carcass.

When a project is sited for development jobs are alloted to various firms.

Architectural
Structural
M&E

Find the area you role or skill fits and search and apply accordingly.

Don't waste your time going after the wrong firm with the wrong role.
