Superb15:




its been on the radio recently, that those transiting Ethiopia or whose final destination is Ethiopia, have to declare their cash exceeding USD 3000. check here https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/01/12/coming-to-ethiopia-you-must-declare-currency-above-3000/

The link you posted still shows that passengers travelling to canada don't need to declare since the transit time is actually less than 3 hours. Infact i can't remember meeting Ethiopian customs when i flew through there.


Transit passengers staying longer than 24 hours in Ethiopia are also required to declare to the Ethiopian Customs any sum of money exceeding the amount or its equivalent in foreign currency, by completing the foreign currency customs declaration form as well.

Hello people...anybody know the cash limit for Ethiopia airline?heard today bout it been 3k USD, as in one shuldnt carry more than that..would b travelling next week .Pls anyone landed recently with Ethiopian airline?

I don't think there's such a restriction on any airline, besides you're not entering Ethiopia and won't be dealing with their customs per se, you're only transiting. I have friends that used the airline and didn't have such issues. You only have to declare funds over 10K usd for most countries you'll be entering.

I do have to say the more I looked at it the more I warm up to it.

Yes you are correct re symmetry ie all four similar room position also you have to bear in mind your likely tenant type balancing some marital privacy against being close enough to the children. It’s necessary to have 2 entrances re kitchen just that you need to balance with safety concerns and creating an ambience that makes your investment a desirable hence very little voids.

Thanks a lot man. Your reviews are deeply appreciated.

He really has done a good job conserving the space especially giving his positioning of rooms. Do you have any future plans to raise if so some allowance for this might come into plan.


Thanks for your response, there is no plan to raise the building in the future.

gabbytabby:

It really is so busy and I would suggest that it has some symmetry. Need to keep it simple.


By symmetry, do you mean all 4 units should have the same location of rooms? Currently, the middle units are the same, while the extreme units are also same. My understanding of symmetry means all 4 units will be the same, please correct me if I'm getting this wrong.

gabbytabby:
Do you really need 3 toilets in 2 beds. You can have a master ensuite and then have the second double as a visitor toilet. If it’s not a high rent area then it really is a waste of resources.

Your plumbing cost will be astronomical due to layout and no of them.

I'll consult an agent managing buildings in the area to seek his opinion. I admit I never considered the plumbing cost earlier.

EDIT: I asked him already and it's an high rent area due to atleast 18hrs power supply. It might be worth it on the long run.

gabbytabby:
2 of the kitchens are backing off one another and in an enclosure too not ideal and intrusive. Increases opportunity for theft.

Will this problem be solved if all four units are same in structure? I just though having two entrances into the building is alright. That is, the main door and the kitchen's back door.

gabbytabby:
Generally it just does not work for me he really can do better.
I'll show him all this. I appreciate.

Please Help


I'm assuming you mean IT courses because you didn't specify.
Udemy courses are good for learning stuffs, the certificate of completion often issued is just celebratory and doesn't mean much at all. I've heard of workplaces that takes such certificates in good light but it's a rare situation. Just learn and build stuffs with the knowledge you gained from the course, you'll present the projects you built to prospective employees as proof of your experience, not the certificate. I'll recommend courses related to Data science, machine learning and blockchain.

The account numbers are actually listed on their site. Just do a transfer and the ticket will be sent to your registered email address. Use the booking ref code in the transfer narration to enable them tie the payment to your booking. Let the OP check their site. You don't need to call the airline at all. At least I didn't.

Yeah I knew it was listed there, but I don't want to copy account numbers here and be accused of anything. It's better OP checks it him/herself. I thought it was safer that way.

Please how does one pay on the Ethiopian airline site?
Epp pls.


For some reason Sudanese and Nigerian cards isn't being accepted, pick a flight booking, then instead of paying, hold the reservation for 24hrs instead. Within this moment, send an email to their office operating at your selected departure airport to inquire of their account number. visit any bank with the total cost of the ticket, and pay, please don't forget to include your reservation number on the payment slip. When you do this, they'll send you your ticket or be proactive and send the payment slip to the email address that replied you. You'll get it.

PS: I could have helped you get their account numbers and email address to contact, but it's on their website, you'll see it too. GOODLUCK.

Let's becareful when giving information on public forum like this? The bolded below is incorrect. You can upload refusal letters post ITA under Client Information (Where you upload LOE)
Editing...
I didn't think of the client information area when I answered the question and it seems my answer was wrong. I confused the question with a TRV application where you are asked on the IMM5257e form about previous refusals and an opportunity to include a brief statement on the reasons for the refusal. I thought the same form is submitted during PR application. I seriously apologize for the wrong information provided to jmnsimone. My Apologies.

Morning all
I asked this question before but I didnt get any response.
Please I have a cousin who is currently on the application process for express entry. He is a military personnel in Nigeria. Is it possible for him to apply as a military officer or does he need to have been discharged before he can apply. Please I need a detailed information or a link.
Applying while being a military officer or not doesn't matter, it's doesn't have an effect on his application or eligibility, It's the Noc and reference letter he'll submit that will determine that. But I know that his security screening is gonna make his application processing time probably lengthy.

Good evening house, trust we all had a great day. Please I need a help on something, I got biometric request today for spouse and I(primary applicant). In our application, we used same address which is Abuja, right now I work in Lagos and spouse works in Abuja. I would like to know if it’s compulsory we both capture in the same place or we can capture separately based on current location (remember our registered address is Abuja). Just trying to see if we can avoid the transportation cost. Has anyone been in my shoes here? Thanks as I await your responses dear family of God.
I don't know how it works for married people but I am 100% sure you can do Biometrics at the nearest VAC to you wherever in the world as long as you have the Biometrics request document and two copies of your international passport. Even better, call vfs to ask, they pick calls. +23481501 99900

You're right, lost 3 points to reading so couldn't reach 441. Same reading I had 8.0 in my first attempt in May angry. There was an unusually long final passage on Sept 8 test so I didn't finish it. I have LRSW of 8.5, 7.0, 8.0, 8.0. I don't plan to take ielts again though .

Well I think you need to rethink the bolded, it offers a way out. You may even have a better result with another well prepared attempt. Goodluck Boss

As much as it is not fun, He has no choice that CRS score wont come down thats for sure... his score is 438 he needs an extra degree, but i like your information tho, you have given me a lot to consider.. cause my case is similar to his.

Yeah I saw that too but the OP didn't say if his/her Ielts has been topped. Reading score improvement from 8 to 9 can take the OP above crs 440.

Also, the last draw was 440. You never know, the points may reduce further this year. All I'm saying is we should all make hay while sun shines.

I did ielts last month and my CRS is 438 at the moment, 2 points below the current 440. If I wait till July/Aug next year my CRS will be 473 courtesy of masters and age.
My initial plan was to wait till next year before entering pool, but my friends have been putting pressure on me to use my Nigerian BSc and apply instead, citing unfounded fears that things can change really fast by next year (EE could stop, the process and required documents can become more difficult, etc.).

The problems I have with using my naija BSc is the unnecessary stress and cost of verifying transcripts. Having to put enormous pressure on people and bribe them to do their jobs that they're paid to do is sickening to me. With European degrees, it's about one click away at almost no cost. So I'll be happy to avoid all the naija wahala especially with WES now demanding WAEC for Nigerian degrees.

Any chance the cut off will drop below 440? What's the pattern like for cut offs...does it increase or decrease at the beginning or end of the year?
Any advice if you were in my shoes?

I advice you start the process with your BSc. Your friends concern about the continuity of EE is not unfounded. 2/3 of my family is set, we are making sure the last gets in before next year's election. There will be an election next year and the liberals would probably lose, the conservatives are no friends of immigrants, they have a plan to make the program difficult or even scrapped as a whole. I would have said EE will be scrapped by next year because I thought the liberals will surely lose, but the conservative camp has been divided with Maxim Bernier, a famous conservative leaving for a different party, so they are no more united like before to pose a serious challenge to the liberals.
Everything is left to probability now and can change in an instant. Stay safe and start the process while you still have a chance. Nigeria ain't fun.

My Uncle got his PPR today.

First IELTS: 7.5, 9, 8, 8
Second IELTS: 8.5, 9, 6.5, 8
 
I advised him to apply for a remark while preparing to re-write the exam, it came back positive.
Second IELTS was upgraded to: 8.5,9 ,8, 8 and the money was refunded.
The Third IELTS came out as: 8.5, 9, 7, 7

WES was done since 2017.
Documents gathering like Employment letters, PCC and MEDS was done from June to July. POF was in USD and untouched for almost 2 years. He's a single applicant.

He got an ITA on 8th August with CRS 456.

AOR: AUGUST 15
MEP: SEPTEMBER 13
GHOST UPDATES (NOT BY EMAIL): SEPTEMBER 27 & OCTOBER 3
PPR: OCTOBER  5TH MIDNIGHT, DATED OCTOBER 4TH.

He is not based in Nigeria but is currently visiting now till december. I assume he can submit the passport to the nearest VAC like lekki or Abuja, am i right? Or it has to be sent to the LVO based in his location abroad?

I feel awkward posting this because i have been reading silently for years and see that some people are still waiting for the golden mail after several long months, guys do not despair, what will be yours cannot be denied.

For others that are yet to apply, canada awaits you all, goodluck to everyone.
