Wow.....good to know. Do I have to pay for that?

Ramj:
If the thing is delayin abeg request for a reprint and send to UK address and they can scan it to you. Please stay woke.

Je m'appelle UKPCC

Thanks, wish I knew this before I applied.

Ramj:
Its just for easy delivery. You can send it to anywhere in the world. It does not have to be where you currently reside

Hello congrats on your PPR.
Please I would like to ask about your UK pcc; how were you able to have it sent to a UK address since you have to present a proof of living in that address cos mine is also yet to get here.
Thanks and congrats again.

Fuzzyman:
The waiting time has been the most stressful and anxiety ridden experience of my life because a lot was riding on it.


UK PCC: please have it sent to a UK address, the one i ordered to Nigeria is still not here 6 months

Hi, I hope I'm not too late, I would appreciate your resources for IELTS writing.
Thanks

JobsInIT:
I am still in the market for a slot for medicals. Please, help out if you can.

I might as well post my temp timeline

Desire to migrate: 2012, on my first and only trip to Canada.
Decision to migrate negotiated and reached with spouse during the Eid holiday in August. This is by far the longest step. I was on this stage for over a year, if not two.
Wes request for online MSc with Uk university initiated first week of sept. The online MSc was the best advantage I have had in this process. No waec wahala, no university transcript wahala . Ordered transcript for less than 7 pounds online and the school posted it for me at no added cost.
Registered for ielts for spouse and I same week. Exam date was 29th Sept.
Wes report ready Oct 11/12. MSc equivalent.
Ielts result Oct 12. Spouse LRSW= 9,9,8.5,7.5. Mine= 9,9,8.5,7
Entered pool on Oct 13. Woke up at 5 am to start work on my profile before the children start distracting me.
ITA : Oct 15, around 9 pm.

Now the hustle for medical date begins.

My Ielts writing was not the best but I am still willing to help read and give feedback to 1-3 people interested. Pls PM me if interested.

Pls help with medical date if you can

Thanks

I'm the wrong person to ask, I had 6 in my writing.

Masekid:
Pls,i hope you would't mind sharing the resources/sites you used for WRITING. I've written ielts twice and my writing has been 6.5 both times. I've gone through ieltsliz, ieltsbuddy, ieltsadvantage; It's just so annoying. Pls, help a bro out, thanks...

Please I am also interested, peju.osonuga@yahoo.com.
Thanks

Lansky:
Done. All the best.

Lol, I'm a lady. Just keep practicing and don't give up, learn from your mistakes.

DaddyNimo:
thanks broda, will take a rest till Dec or even jan

I have to make payment in 48hrs and remark takes about 6 weeks from all I've gathered. Also I have an Msc .

pyruvateluv:
Try the remark and also prepare for another one, you can delay in making payment for another whilst waiting for the remark. Do you have an Msc or Pgd cos your CRS seems to be good with 7 in writing?

My CRS score with my present IELTS score is 396 not 459. 459 is what I'll get if I had a 7 in writing.

exquisef:
hello. 459 is a great CRS score you dont need to re write or remark if you ask me...

Mehn sorry, I just registered with IDP to write again on the 27th. God help us all, the delay is annoying though.

DaddyNimo:
writing also forked me up, I'm so weak right now.

Thanks but how do I apply for a remark, how much is it and how long will it take?

phemmy26:
apply for a remark and prepare for another one also...

IELTS result out: LRSW, 8.5/9/8/6, first attempt. This result dropped my CRS from 459 to 396, I don't know whether to apply for a remark or register for a new one.

Hi, please what is the best way to contact WES. They sent me an evaluation update last week and I noticed they made a mistake in my address and since that's where they are supposed to send the report to, I filled the contact form on their website but I'm yet to get a response. So please if there's any other way I can contact them to correct the error, let me know. Thanks

My wife is the primary applicant, and she's already done her document verification with WES. Will I also need to do it? We can see on the CIC page that spouse verification is listed as mandatory rather than compulsory and while it will get us a few more points, we don't particularly need it.

Ok, thanks.

abilityC:
If they have need to suspect the car is not in good condition they might check, but they didnt check mine

Hello, I have this machine for sale, I bought it last november and I have barely used it, the price is 25k, location is Abuja and brand is Sumo Premium.

Thanks but will they not check the engine and the general functionality of the vehicle?

abilityC:
For Uber inspection at Total around Police force headquarters it cost ₦2500, vehicle should look clean inside and out, AC working then you are good to go

Hello, please I would like to know how much the vehicle inspection costs and what are the issues that are likely to disqualify your vehicle.
thank you.

Thanks taxiappguy, I would also like to know if the car qualifies for taxify?

taxiappguy:
Both platforms perform really well in Abuja. 30-35k well, if you rent out.
If you drive yourself 50-60k well, but dependent on the amount of work you put in.
Your vehicle is eligible.

Hello everyone, I have been up and down nairaland searching for a thread for Abuja Uber or Taxify drivers but found none so I would really appreciate it if anyone can help with info on how well these services perform in Abuja, also can I use a 2003 Toyota Matrix on either or both platforms,thanks.

Hi, I also just started learning. I use codecademy, coursera, edx and YouTube tutorials. All the best.

Ok, thank you very much.

stealth02:
This is still okay. Especially since the source of money is your husband on a joint application not some third party. The LOE also got you covered. Ideally and maybe for some comfort he could submit his bank statement alongside the application but this is not necessary. Seniors can also weigh in on this...

Thanks a lot. But it's only about 60% of the money tht will be fixed, the rest will be coming from my husband. He'll pay it into my account and accompany it with an LOE. Do you think that's acceptable and will he need to submit his account statement?.

stealth02:
This should be fine. Investments are usually exempt from the 6 months holding period as mentioned on page 0 under POF. FDs and specifically TBs will usually give you a good return as the funds are held in investments

Hello everyone, I first would like to say thanks to the initiators of this thread, you've been a blessing to so many. I've been silently following for a while now and now I have a question about POF.
My husband and I are planning on applying soon but the money that we're required to have in our accounts will be coming in two or three instalments. We don't want the money sitting in the account for 6 months before beginning, so we were advised to invest some of it in bonds or put it in a fixed deposit and get a certificate or a statement. While the rest of it will be in my account and will be accompanied by an LOE from my husband that he's the one providing the funds since I am the PA.
Please I would like to know if this is sound advice. We are a family of 3, myself, hubby and our 1yr old.
Thanks

Thanks, I'll try your method and see if it works. Thank you

marylandcakes:
Hello Pejuhazel this is a very common problem which can be solved by inserting waist and shoulder darts. Also if you watch my video on the basic bodice you will notice that I took 1/2" from the back chest to add to the front chest. I hope this has helped?

Hello Marylandcakes, thanks for starting this, it's been very helpful. I have an issue and I would love you to help me: every time I make blouses or tops there's always excess fabric at the back. I would like to know what causes this and how to fix it. I don't think it's a zip allowance issue because it happens even in blouses that don't have zips.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am starting a ready to wear fashion business in Abuja and I need a good tailor that sews for women. I am situated in Lugbe.
Interested person should send me a whatsapp message on:
Please whatsapp only.

Hello, you could have people pay to just one person in each compound, and you get the money from said person.
You could also provide an account number for people to pay into before you come around.
Hope it helps.

Please does anyone know where I can get good planting soil, I live in Aguda, Lagos. Thanks

Thanks a lot, following your own post

Following:
plant btw 3-5 seeds and when they have grown for upto 2 weeks,u pinch off the rest and let the most healthy one remain, you may pour hot water on the soil or heat it directly to kill most soil borne pathogen and reduce risk of infection. the type of tomato you plant will determine the method of staking/trellising you apply

I don't think I'll be fermenting my seed cos I read its a very smelly process, maybe I can try it later. How many seed should I plant in a pot and will I need to get fertilizer as it grows?. Thanks

Rubyintegrated:
You can buy the biggest flower pot or use a cement bag as well. You may skip the wire mesh and pebbles if you can make sure that water is properly drained.

about the seeds, I have never soak mine in water. but you could try and tell us the result.... We are always learning.

For the seeds, do I just dry them without any prior preparations cos I read somewhere that I need to ferment them first.

Rubyintegrated:
Hello Pejuhazel,

I am not in Lagos but I hope to be as helpful as possible. So let's start with the basics:

1. Sun exposure on your balcony: Does your balcony receive a good sun exposure (5-8hrs per day)? if yes, you can proceed with your plan. If no, please do not bother as it will be a wasteful effort. Ideally, tomatoes should get full sun for 8 hours per day. They will still grow with less sun, but the shadier the conditions, the longer it takes for the fruit to ripen.

2. Container selection: Keep in mind that the more root space the plant has, the better the roots will grow. This will allow the top part of the plant to grow large. Tomatoes can grow to over 6-8 feet tall and 2 feet across, a half barrel sized pot (those sold for N800 here in Abuja) is just enough to accommodate the roots for that size plant. Small pots do make smaller plants but that also means a lot less fruit and many of the problems mentioned above.

3. Soil: You can get your top soil and manure from any gardener around your area. A cement bag full of top soil sells for N500 in Abuja while that of manure goes for N600. the darker the top soil, the better. You can the mix the two. 2 parts of top soil and 1 part of manure for starter.

4. Filling the container: while filling the container, remember that good drainage and healthy roots go together. So be fore add the mixture of top soil and manure, please layer a piece of wire mesh cut to size at the bottom of the pot. Then add some pebbles before adding the top soil/manure mixture.

5. Tomato seeds: You can easy buy seeds which are readily available in any agric shop around your area, but I would recommend that you pick/buy a couple of really ripe and beautiful tomatoes either in house or at the veg store, remove the seeds and dry them for a couple of days and plant them in a small container for onward transfer to the prep pot(s).


I will stop for now. Have to attend to business.....


I will continue when you are done with these and is ready to move on....
