Hi Nadia,
Form A transactions are called Trade invisibles and they are still being done.
School fees payment paid to the school and living expenses paid directly in to a student's account fall within this category
The only issue here is that the rates and availability of FX is dependent on the interbank market as opposed to the CBN, as before.
So what I'm trying to say is that banks, especially the FXPD's (foreign exchange primary dealers) still engage in these transactions, but at a rate predetermined by the interbank market. So different banks with different rates, and different processes. So, Try out to inquire about Trade invisibles from banks. It's not among the banned items so I'm very certain that banks still do it, just at the interbank rate for that day, determined by availability of FX.
I know Access did formA for about N300:1USD last week.


The good thing is that you don't have to wait for a whole week as in the past, for the banks to send these Trade invisible items to CBN, they just debit and remit next day, if funds are available. (Tho CBN intervenes from time to time, but that's without the knowledge of the customer)

Hope this calms you down.

Cheers.

Yes! it does!! just wt i needed...you were very explicit.. Thank you!

CassetteBoy:


hi Nadia,
i really don't know much regards form A.
Do you know anyone in canny? One alternative will be to pay money into this person's naira account, then the person pays dollars on your behalf to your school. You'll both agree a rate before commencing, the person may give you favourable rate if he/she isn't needing naira anytime soon

Ok, not bad... but dat person has to be a trusted sombori...Thank you!!!

Anyone else with [b]Form A info [/b]biko, is it still available? A friend said ts not...

@cassetteboy, @ethan45 etc...Weldone! Nairalanders be cracking me up
Please i don't know how true this is? A friend told me dat form A is closed.. someone should please confirm this statement, biko help a sister, i haven't paid any of my fees, before CIC go vex kon collect their TRV from me... Thanks. Plus public holz has been extended till thursday!!! VFS as decided to sell our passports for groundnut...

Proof of Business/assests;
My sponsor was my dad (he owns his own business, I wouldn’t say he had CAC documents cos the one he had was very old from the 1990’s, and he never really used or updated it... so I would say his business was not registered, but I tried to proof his business as much as I can )

Well i just said d same thng now.. Everyone has a UCI number is what i am trying to say here ooo.. Rejected or approved applicants.
The diff is that first timers dont get theirs until they have submitted their first application..
So first timers are to leave the space blank (Just wanting to clarify that, most people get that UCI number thing wrong and still dont get me wrong here o..)

bayocanny:

No, they are not the same. If you are applying for the first time you don't need UCI number just leave it blank...
An applicant that has been denied before is only entitle to UCI number

An applicant dat has been denied? No! Every applicant as a UCI number, ur only issued one d first time u submit ur application for review

Please is that empty space normal. I submitted my application since the 11th of March and that space has been there for up to a month.

It is normal for those that linked their paper application to an online account...

bjmme:
Greetings,

Anyone with the information on universities offering PhD programs,either in project management/engineering.I have searched through but I couldn't see any universities in Canada with the pgd of those courses.......I Will appreciate anyone contribution.


Regards

Do u mean PHd or PGd??
If u mean PGD, universities rarely offer Pgds.. It is easier seen in colleges such as durham, fanshawe, humber college and the likes..

bayocanny:

According to what I read from gurus on here, you should put the closing balance in your sponsor SOA there, let assume you also want to submit your personal SOA add your closing balance with that of your sponsor then put it there.

I stand to be corrected

Nope it should be the total amount after adding the tuition, the living expenses and other fees togethers.. Thats wat should be in ur funds available...

Daveboiz:
No i didn't not even proof of sponsors relationship

Wow! God is really a good God!!!! And in addition i wonder those dat r always in charge of the online applicants they r kinda easy on applicants dan those ones in Ghana... More testimonies for d rest of us in jesus name!!!
