Hello house,

If you're coming to Canada from Abuja and could help me pickup my driver's license, please let me know.

Thanks

Yteem:
There are some Lagos state approved centers for testing.

Please see attached and kindly re confirm.

Thanks Yteem.
I'll prefer Abuja tho

Salientjoe:
Good day house,

To those who did Covid-19 test before boarding, Is there a way to know if the testing centre is accredited and the result would be accepted by the airline?

This is urgent please

If you traveled in the past month and are settled now, kindly drop landing jist. I'm sure it would help a lot of people preparing to move over.

So many memorial university students, nice one. Please how were u guys able to pay for your fees? Did anyone use the global pay option successfully?

Yes, I did.

Summe:
Finally got back my passport today, after one month!

Thank you everyone for helping one way or the other along the way. I pray that all hopefuls get that PPR very soon.

Anyone travelling to Newfoundland in February?

Have you completed the arrival form and gotten an approval for quarantine space from the school?

Frankrobbn1:
As far as I know all the commercial banks in Nigeria are inefficient and slow in carrying out international transactions. You can try FCMB, Fidelity or Sterling bank.



It will end in praise

Thank you, it has been processed. The duration was 4weeks approximately @395/$.

silvamania:
What bank is that ??

This is even more expensive than the black market rate.

Can you accept or reject the offer afterwards or what can you do if you don’t like there rate ??

All the best

Zenith Bank Plc.

I will just have to withdraw the money from the account so it doesn't get charged.

Frankrobbn1:
Zenith Bank takes about 7 to 8 weeks to carry out international transactions (tuition payment). This is due to scarcity of forex from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). You've to wait it out.


It will end in praise

Thank you Mr. Frank. I was at the bank yesterday and the official said something in the line. He said getting dollars from CBN is now like a bid due to its scarcity and they were able to secure 405/$ for me.

Which bank would you suggest? I will withdraw the funds and process with another bank.

elizyous:
I went there and filled the form for mine. They said I should get my hopes up cuz dollar is scarce. They said that it is subject to availability.

Can someone over there pay for it on ones behalf? How do we present such transaction while writing the SOP?

Definitely. Someone can pay the tuition for you over there. How you'll talk about it is at your discretion. If you're not prepared to talk about your relationship with the person that paid, you may just be silent about it.

For me, I only requested and attached to my application a letter from the school stating I had paid the deposit and it sufficed.

KejiA:
hi, I paid via fidelity bank last week Wednesday at 395 USD

Have you been charged already and the process completed?

Salientjoe:
Good day house,

Who has paid tuition via Form A recently? Which bank and what rate? I'm so tired of Zenith Bank, it's the 3rd week already.

Anyone please?

Insanity:
You can ask your local bank about this, they might have an evidence for you. Please, refer to Lentomac's detailed post above.

When was the form A transaction initiated at your bank? Due to the current circumstances, it takes a while to be finalised. Mine took 7 working days before CBN approved, then 5 working days before I received a successful transaction mail from the foreign bank. And this wasn't during the holiday season.

You and your school may just have to be patient.

Hi,

Could you let me know the rate that was used?

Adellbabe:
Hello,
I received an email from IRCC that my study permit application has been approved December 17 since then, I have not received my passport from VFS Nigeria.
I called VFS Nigeria was told that my application is in the embassy ( paper application) I submitted my application along with my passport.
What can I do?
Am worried, also I have paid for UPS courier service. Thanks

Hi Summe,
I answered the first question on the Living in Canada thread. Regarding the second question, it took less than 10days despite the Christmas and boxing holidays. IRCC workload concerning passport processing seems to be at the low and I observed processing at their office takes 3 working days or less currently. If your courier guys and vfs do well, you may even get it in 7days

I don't really have a grasp of how the passport return works for paper applications. Have you received the Counterfoil, and Letter of introduction in your GC account? If No, you may want to raise a couple of webforms and mails to the office that sent you BVL about the delay.

Summe:
I am looking through kijiji.ca for a shared apartment not far from MUN.

Hopefully, my passport comes back in 7 days!

Are going to St. John? If Yes, try and complete the arrival form on time and don't wait till get back your passport. Arrival for January is overwhelmed already.

gbengaadet:
Which vfs did you use?

Abuja. Did my biometrics here

Summe:
I just sent my passport yesterday, but I saw on mun website that new international students must self isolate on campus residence, have you tried reaching out to the internalization office?

Also, how long did it take for you to receive your passport?

Yes, I have. To complete the arrival form as I noted, one must secure an address to stay after self isolating as it's a requirement on the form. See attached

Good evening house,

I am trying to fill the arrival form for Memorial University as I intend to travel around 29-31st of January. I noticed it is essential to have an accommodation to move into after the isolation period.

Kindly help if you're at the St. John campus and you have a shared apartment available, or you are going there and hoping to share. I'm on a tight budget of 300cad-450cad.

Thanks
Regards

Good day.

I still need help with this please.

Good evening Seniors,

I got my passport back recently after my approval and I am trying to fill the arrival form for Memorial University as I intend to travel around 29-31st of January. I noticed it is essential to have an accommodation to move into after the isolation period.

Kindly help if you're at the St. John campus and you have a shared apartment available, or you are going there and hoping to share. I'm on a tight budget of 300cad-450cad.

Also, I would appreciate it if there is a telegram group I can be added.

Thank you.

Good morning, I still need help with this.

Your story is a LIE.
1. That supposed friend is YOU.
2. You want to know if you can transfer the login to an account you want to create. You want to take over the application now.

*If you truly used an agent, your agent would already know the answer*.

Back to your question, the answer is NO!

Hi Philadelphia,

It's no doubt a faceless forum, but we should be mindful of how we respond to enquiries of people for orderliness and courtesy sake.

The manner at which you tagged the post a lie is dogmatic to say the least. Even if it was, no one really cares.

Unsurprisingly, your answer to the question was wrong. A new account could be linked with application so far he/she has the details like Application number and UCI number.

Thank you.

P.S
I urge the seniors on the platform to help ensure the quality of information dispensed here daily. I have noticed a few inaccuracies in answers recently.

davo99:
Thanks a lot. It worked seamlessly, hoping to submit the consent-form tomorrow.

You're welcome.

davo99:
Thank you so much, please I noticed 4 different (3k, 7.2k, 7.6k & 11k prices) options on the site, please, what's the best one to choose?

The basic will suffice—3k. I didn't add in the previous post that they offer probably the cheapest you can get out there.

davo99:
Please can anyone help with a reliable site for ordering GCMS? Thank you

You can use thegcmsonline-dort-corm

I've used their service and I can attest that its faster comparably to caipsgcms. They will file your ATIP request the day you submit the consent form and send you a tracking number to that effect. Lastly, you get your note immediately they get it for you--this last point is crucial as I had to request my note from caipsgcms after almost exceeding 35days before they sent it to me and gave a flimsy excuse of just getting it that hour.

Obanidavid:
Please google mun cashiers office, then click on methods of payment. It will take you to a list of available options to make payment, select wire transfer using globalpay. This later takes you to memorial page on globalpay where you input the amount you want to and get a quote which you will print and take to the bank to process your Form A.

Go to the bank with a copy of your previous (degree) certificate, passport data page, letter of admission and letter stipulate amount you are to pay because bank will want to turn you down if you can provide evidence that you are actually paying for school fees. I will advice you speak with your account office to handle it for you.

Mr. Obanidavid

I'm just seeing this, thank you for the insight.

Rootiab:
you can use form A

Thank you.

Was the payment in USD or CAD?
