Hi all, please I have a question.
I was told that age requirement for undergraduate admission in Canada is 25 for middle eastern and African applicants. Please how true is this?

Hadampson:
I don't think there is any institution in Ukraine that you can contact directly for admission ( I might be wrong though)

However, you can skip the agent part by contacting any student who is studying there. This is at your own risk oh. I believe it is better to take help with one of the consultant over there.

Okay. Thank you

State what u want, gurus in the house will help you. I believe that's one of the reasons why ds thread was created. lf ur desperately in need of agent, u can enter street and look for one cos am sure u will see some sign post on the road.. we're here to guild ourselves...
Note � : Say no to agents, What agents can't offer you, gurus in ds forum will guild u till u secure ur visa.. Thanks!

I'm not 'desperately' in need of an agent.
I'm trying to have my kid brother transferred to another medicine and surgery school in Ukraine that is affordable with more Nigerians attending. I noticed schools in Ukraine don't deal directly with students.
The agent we used before to get him to his current school messed us up.
If there are schools that I can contact directly for admission, I'll appreciate suggestions.
Thank you.

I just check it now 74k for one yr

Huh? What? $74k for one year?
SOS
Abort mission!
I repeat, Abort mission!!!
That is mad expensive. Plus it is in LA county which is also an expensive place in California. Housing will.be mad, plus transportation.
Don't depend on receiving a GA or TA on arrival cos it is difficult if you are not lucky to get it before arrival. It's mostly made available after the first semester.
Besides it's stipend which won't help much. And if you don't pay your fees then that's another wahala. Different schools have different rules.
Listen to what everyone is saying and don't make that terrible mistake.
Look for another school.

Hi guys!
Please is it possible for someone to transfer from one medical school in Ukraine to another after first year without using an agent?

Bootybuttchic:
hey dear......hope u are settled now...how is the united states like? how do you see it? have you been to your school? do you like it?

Sure, I'm settled now. Thank you. It's really cool
I love everything about my school.
Thanks.

MyAmericandream:
will you keep shut, bushman.

You don't talk to people this way. Especially one who you can learn a lot from. Time2Smile is one of the most respected members on this thread.
Even though this is a faceless forum, you should learn to behave.

So guys, I'm in the US.
Here's my experience:
Booked Royal Air Maroc from Lagos. Flight was for 6:05am 13th August. Arrived Casablanca at 10.30am. RAM delayed my flight twice. Waited for 28hrs in Casablanca Morocco before finally leaving for New York. Left Casablanca at 3pm on the 14th.
....my stay in Casablanca...Lovely staff, ready to help even though it's hard to communicate as they don't speak English. Just a handful of them do. But BAD food. I was lucky to get a good spot at the lounge....nice beds though. I was told that the hotel rooms got filled up pretty fast.
Arrived JFK at 6pm. Didn't get off the plane till about 6:30. The border control officer only did my biometrics and asked where I was heading to, course of study, if it was my first time in the US and if I had any foods or drinks. I reached out to get my documents asking if he wanted to see any and he said not to bother, he trusts me. Baggage claim took more than 40mins before I could get my bags.
Met with my school staff waiting to welcome and receive international students. It was pretty late already... 8pm US time. There was a shuttle provided to get to school. I've kinda settled in but I need to complete my sleep.

ChemEngr01:
The airport pickup is actually the least of my problems. I'd be missing my flight from JFK to Detroit, and the money is non-refundable. Also, spending 28hours in a lounge in Cassablanca is not even something I want to think about now.

Is there really nothing that can be done? Like get them to put one on an earlier flight? I've sent them a mail but no reply yet.

Mehn!!! At this point, I have no idea. It's really sad and I can't even imagine what 28hrs will be like.

ChemEngr01:
bleeping Royal Air Maroc just changed my itinerary 24hours to departure. With the new schedule I would have to spend 28hours in Cassablanca, miss my connecting flight from JFK to Detroit, and miss my scheduled school pick-up from the airport. This new schedule would be both costly and terribly inconvenient for me. What can I do please?

Same here. The moment I saw your post, I had to check my mail. For your scheduled school pick up, I think you should send a mail ASAP to your school telling them the new development.

shayhune:
Your inlaw got rejected because of the school he applied to. The rate at which applicants who apply to such one storey schools like CMU, VIU etc is high. Tell your inlaw to apply to a better school if his intent is to study.

It's either Carnegie Mellon University or Central Michigan University. The former is highly ranked but he didn't specify which he applied to.

Robert6708:
Oga stop creating a molehill out of nothing. This thread wasn’t created for just you. You don’t have to bring the fact that you omitted to pick the right luggage to nairaland. Deal with it. Even if it costs $500 to go back to JFK, then get to it. That’s why you should have prepared for eventualities like this. Other people are here too with issues bothering on why the post was created. And if you staying wherever you intend staying hinges on what you brought or didn’t bring from Nigeria, then my brother I pity you. ���

No!No!!No!!!
This is a totally wrong and inappropriate way of addressing someone who came to this forum to seek for solution and advice to get out of a messy situation his first day in the US. If you could not render help, you should have not commented at all.
That being said, your tone is rather rude and unjustly.

Bunmip:
Hello,

Please i need assistance. I received my I-20 on monday (6th August 2818) and the start date on my I-20 is August 20th 2018 and the school classes will commence on August 27th 2018. I have the plan of applying for a Visa tomorrow (9th August 2018) but i dont know if i'll be able to get an appointment date for Student visa in August either in Lagos or Abuja. What do you suggest i do? Can someone arrive to the school after August 27th? Please I need someone to enlighten me. I'll really appreciate.

Your best bet will be to defer your admission to Spring. However, you can request for an expedited appointment.
And No, you don't arrive after the start date on your I20. You should be there 30days before or on the day stated.

Hi everyone, please I want to make Enquiries on behalf of a family friend who will be travelling soon.

If a flight from Lagos to jfk is scheduled to arrive jfk by 1:30pm, is it safe to book a connecting flight for 2:30pm from the same jfk to another state the same day?. I mean an a hour interval after landing as displayed on the airline booking page.?

I will appreciate your responses please

Though I've not traveled yet but from my findings, you are most likely to leave the airport 2-4hrs after you arrive as an international traveler because of all the POE procedures, queues, document check, questions and all. Of course it could be less but meeting up with a connecting flight an hour later is not feasible.

LagosismyHome:
No, America POE doesn't need yellow card or vaccine.... maybe an African country but not America

Don't bother yourself with it

Oh really?
I had no idea. I was specifically told by some friends over there to get it and they sounded it like a warning.

TheSuperladyy:
Good morning guys
I booked my ticket and I'll be leaving on 13th. I heard there's a 'yellow card' and yellow fever vaccine um supposed to get from the airport or I won't be able to travel? Is this true? Please how do I go about it?

There are specific health centres for this purpose. If you are in Lagos and on the Island, go to CMS, there's a local govt office there beside that big bookshop. I was charged 3k for it.

Hello,
Please what's the cheapest fare from Lagos to JFK, one way between 13th of August to 15th of August and Lagos to Boryspol Ukraine, one way, same date?

Thank God you pulled through.

LagosismyHome:
Come and dash me some Gold wristwatch na

You can click on any of the item and for Gold it states below so no your writswatch should be fine . even Jewellery . Maybe Raw Gold but normal jewelries should be absolute fine

Thanks plenty

LagosismyHome:


The list of prohibited stuff is here but what comes to mind is stay away from Meat , hence why sometimes indomine is allowed and sometime it not because of the chicken in the spice .
https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-go/prohibited-and-restricted-items

The standard is 2 bags of 23kg each and a hand luggage . anything outside that is extra charge but the best place to check is the airline

All liquid such as even perfume, toothpaste , deodorant should be in your checked bag and not your handluggage as liquid is not allowed in hand luggage . Keep your money in your handluggage or pocket or something that is with you at all times and keep your document with you to be with you at all time. make sure you remain calm so you dont forget anything such as document on the plane or in the airport .

Wow!!! God bless you for this.
But I saw gold on that list. Is it inclusive of gold wristwatch/jewellery too?

tolatof:
Dont forget Personal Item!!! e.g laptop Bag, Makeup Bag and the likes

Please I don't understand this.
Is make up bag supposed to be in the check in bags or can be accepted in the hand luggage?

Ijebuboy525:
They’ll take you to a place just like refugee camp, and the food is nothing to talk about, you can arrange something for your self, safe trip

jelmusboy:
In-flight entertainment of Royal Air Maroc is zero, food not great. I don't think I will choose them anymore except I am a cash-strapped

Ha, not good...
Thanks for the info.

Please who knows how the layover with AirMaroc is? Do they provide a place to chill while waiting or will one have to sit at the airport? Do they provide food? What is it like? My mind is doing me somehow.

Nahum777:
Ladies and gentlemen my visa has just been issued. Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than 10 working days, please see the webpage for contact information of the embassy or consulate where you submitted your application.

How many days do I have to wait?

Thanks nairaland, God bless you all for making life easy.

Wow!!! Thank God.
I'm happy for you.
Congratulations!!!

LagosismyHome:
All airline is 23kg for a standard bag. Then check if it one or two bags as British Airways for example is now selling ticket with one bag ..... most route to the US is 2 bags of 23kg .....

then there usually an option to increase it up to 32kg if you pay extra. It never free for anything over 23kg

Aĺll airlines have their baggage policy online and what you see on their website is the truth. Any other thing outside of that is heresay

Oh wow!!! Thank you for the info.
