I'd also done the maths and totally agree with you. Converting it will be better in the short run. However, we're reluctant to change our POF to Naira because of Naira's volatility. We're concerned that if Naira crashes again, we'll be left with a whole less than we'd be making if we leave it in dollars now. Besides, we'll ultimately change all our money to dollars if and when we get PPR being that Naira can't be assessed outside the shores of Nigeria.

We'll think about it critically again and decide whether or not to change it. Thanks for your suggestion and analysis.

Kontagious:

In another case of yours, I was thinking about POF in foreign currency, then felt it might be a disservice if you provide POF in dollars especially if the funds was gotten at black market rate (regardless of when it was gotten). I'd give a scenario and a check to buttress this opinion;
Using USD for my analysis, assuming you have $10,000, this at present black market rate of N367/$ implies you have N3,670,000 but to the VO using official rate of N306 to a USD, your $10,000 is worth just N3,060,000!
Remember bulk of your POF is in Naira, now with addition of some in USD, I'd want to assume the VO will convert all to a base currency, more like Canadian dollar.
To the check, see for yourself on oanda what "N4,000,000 + $10,000" comes to in CAD, then check what "N4,000,000 + N3,670,000 (assuming you change the $10,000 to Naira at black market) comes to in CAD... You'd see the latter gives you more value than the former. In fact, almost 2,000CAD more!.
In essence, if your dollar you got at black market rate is changed using official rate, my dear, you've lost significant value! Thus, it will be to your advantage to change back that foreign currency at aboki's rate then present a N3,670,000 than a $10,000.
PS. All figures and rates used are hypothetical, i don't know what amount you have nor applicable rates.
Others can throw more weight.

U don't need to change ur USD to Naira. Ur USD will be converted directly to CAD. Same with ur Naira.

Please keep it in FX. I am saving in FX as well. It's better to work harder and get more money than trust the FX rate will remain the same.

After getting ITA , when submitting your application I think.

I used WES' degree equivalency tool, and it did show that both degrees are equivalent to Canadian degrees. Is it safe to only submit my MSc credentials to WES?

I have a BSc in Biochemistry (Nig) and MSc in Public Health (Aussie). I am looking to nominate a health profession. Are you saying I only need to evaluate my MSc credentials?

phf2be:


Your MBA will be evaluated as Master's equivalent in Canada and you get the required points for that. I don't think it's necessary to evaluate your bachelors if all you want is get into the EE pool. WES is fantastic for foreign degrees. I have no regrets.

Thanks a lot!
