Please Oga Siga and all other bosses, in your opinion, what is the cheapest service to use to call Nigeria? I currently use international call cards and it costs like $10 for 140 minutes. I feel that there are better deals out there. I can even see some on google but do not know which one to trust with my credit card details.

Thanks for your anticipated feedback.

you didnt add money for textbooks.. cos i spend $1k + every semester on textbooks.. abi your school na free textbooks? my house rent is $450/m. the truth is, you CAN'T hustle and raise your tuition fees.. a semester is just 3months+. how do you intend to raise $6k5 = N1.1m as a full-time student? even under table wont raise it. unless you're totally out of school... Canada is a nice place no doubt.. Canada needs your money.. you pay tax on daily living of things you purchase. even ordinary salt and pepper..

Is there a way your dad can get the C of O before you apply?

Also, it's best you list the 'relevant documents' so our gurus can assist you.

Try to check the curriculum of the course you applied to and see if you can cope. You can also look for the core programming language they will use so that u can start ur learning now. Always better to prepare ahead.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

I pay 450/month on rent (all utilities incl.)

Grocery shopping 50-100/month - sometimes when I'm lazy to cook, I order dominoes or KFC, Dominoes is 50% off every monday.

There are transit buses here which are totally free once you show your student ID card.

My phone bill is around $50 a month.

Entertainment, I play soccer every Friday/Saturday/Sunday with guys here, I dance (I'm in my school dance team), I play FIFA with my roomies, and go to clubs sometimes.

In total, I haven't really calculated it before but I'm guessing somewhere around $600-$700

@Pchax : Can you see what the spirit of collaboration can achieve !! Am happy for this person and wish all TRV 'awaitee' and prospective TRV applicants miraculous success.
Kindly do me a favour by sending me a "Hi" from any alternate mail box of yours to mine : soji0509@yahoo.com
Need to clarify my doubt ASAP in order to move on. Thanks in advance. Cheers
pchax:

Yaaaay!!! Glad to hear the good news. I admire your faith with the upfront medicals thingy. I guess it was your faith that did it for you smiley
Congrats and thank God! Cheers!
NB: Permission to upload your SOP to a file where other people can have access to.
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 7 by soji0509: 3:05pm On Feb 23, 2015
Let us economize space by not doing an unnecessary repetition. Even mere Typing " LOE : nairaland " without the inverted coma into your google will give you plenty info. Use that method for other inquiries 1st and post your remaining concern thereafter.
Time flies and waits for no one. google.com rocks, profit from it optimally

Different strokes they say for different folks.

Province/Location: Saskatchewan

Rent: $500
Transportation: You could get a bus card for $65 (monthly)
Food: Depends on you as well. But $200 should be okay.
Entertainment: You can chose to stay indoor, glued to your smart tv or computer all month. That won't cost you a thing or you can choose to hang out or go clubbing; that comes at extra cost.
Phone: Depends on your phone plan mine cost me $50 per month
Total Monthly Expense: Approximately $900 though other costs could incur

I have done that already. You should know google is the first resource most people consult. I won't be asking on here if I had found what I was looking for on google. I require practical information.

Briefly introduce urself and course of study in Canada, explain ur previous education, work experience and its relevance to ur intended course. Explain the impact of the course on your future career and employment opporutunities in your country. Why not pursuing the course in Nigeria. Life after study (emphasis on leaving Canada after ur studies) and home tie. Hope this is helpful.
