blink6: Oga siga, how u n ur family?
See, lemme say i got same ish as this guy...
Haven't applied to any uni already anyways. The thing is; I want to transfer too, but am confused... cos I dnt know waah time is due for this.
Pls help.

...Family dey....I believe u would have included that in ur initial application that u want to transfer credits....if u didnt do that...u can still do it after gaining admission or when u land the school....all u do is go to the admissions officer and tender ur case...they will listen and check if the courses you are trying to wave is the same as the one here or close....thats why you would need a transcript and probably a course description as well, this will detail each topics u did on each course....

yomezino: Please nairalanders advice me! I applied for admission in University of NEw Brunswick,they said my documents is in line for processing.Later they mailed me to send my jamb result and university of Benin transcript,I sent my jamb and told them I am in 100level. we just started second semester and 100 level do not get transcript in University of Benin.They just mailed me today that they have checked my application and when my transcript is ready I should mail it.I'm confused right now what should I do.PLease I'm even confused to read.Please just advice me

.....Wetin dem want take ur JAMB results do....no one dey ask that...read their requirements right....They only need ur Uni transcript only if u are transferring...if not, ur WAEC is perfect....JAMB for what? When no be say na Abraka University u dey apply to....

similoluwa123: You guys should pray for me

...No worry...if God says Yes...no one can say No...even Stephen Harper

similoluwa123: Ayaba21 what is d source of your information. I submitted my application April 23rd for visitor visa. Bellow is the information I got this afternoon from tracking. It is not up to 36 days as you claimed. I will visit VSF office on Monday to pick it up. All my hope is in God

Visa application, tracking ID No.20130423xxxxxxx – Your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada Visa Office Lagos, on 24/05/2013 to the Canada Visa Application Centre. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website

...You guys need to stop confusing una sef with all these processing time crap....Visitor visa is different from Study...all cases different from each other....the more wahala (documents) u put for ur application, the longer it takes...make CDHC life easy when u apply and inturn, u make ur stress level reduce....Even when processing time for visitor was a month...my mama got her own in 5 days....

Visitor visa is between 35 - 45 working days as per CDHC website ...

WORD!!!!

All what OP is trying to point out is...if UK can claim the medals secured by all the mentioned Nigerians (some were even born for Ajegunle)....then they should claim this one as well...the guy should be labelled "A BRITISH MAN WITH NIGERIAN LINEAGE"....

dotman: Hi house and @ogasiga, can u plz advise on how to go about accommodation in halifax.

The embassy has instructed me to show evidence of accommodation payment. Can u recommend any housing agent that i can use.

I have been online, i have seen some, but the prices are no less diff from the school arraingment. How can i get a good accommodation plus a room mate so we can split the cost.

...Bro...there are very few guys heading that way here if any....I go advise pay ur school boarding bro and enjoy it for the first semester or yr ...then move outside...dont use this accommodation things slow urself down bro....

mozo: Ok bro, wasn't too sure bout that one, how was the Public holiday? Just confirmed there's a public holiday once a month from now till the end of the year (or maybe in some provinces)

....lol...holiday once a month till the end ....lol....u are close though....bro...I worked today ooo..na extra money (though from home)...just got up from a quick nap ...then I go wait for the sun to go down and head out around 9pm.....I need to go see Uncle Hennessy and Aunt Stella Artois.....bo se wa ni yen o jare...

[quote author=olawunmi_samuel]Hey! I see everybody's advising against using company's account. Well I had no choice than to use my sponsor's company acct, that's what he gave me. But I got a reference letter from the bank stating that my sponsor is the sole signatory to the company's account. Added that with a reference letter from him + company documents. Me I believe God sha, this visa still sure. [/quote]....Not everyone is advising agaisnt it bro....if u are going to use a company's acct...and if its owned by ur sponsor...ensure u have ur sponsor write a letter stating this and why all his money is under the company's acct....would even be awesome if u can claim u work for the said company and have a program tailored to the company....using a company's acct means the company is sponsoring u...not ur sponsor...but again....u never knw wat CDHC agents dey think....in all...if God is for u...who can be against u?

Shadams: @ oga Siga. Many thanks. I will take your advice. I got scared when I was told that immigrations over there would consider it a LIE if, after 6months or a year of study, I invite my girl (then my wife), I invite her. What is your take. However, thanks for your insights and promptness of response. One love.

.....Yea...just wait till then....Madam go need understand .....when the time is ripe, ask ur boss at the Uni to write u supporting letter as well to aid ur invitation .....I would advise 1yr sha...trust me...it seems long, but not too long...and ensure u visit Naija at least twice to show that u dey miss her alot....

Shadams: Dear All,

Kindly help with any relevant information on this issue. I applied for study permit to resume for a PhD admission at the University of Saskatchewan in Sept. I did not fill out the COMMON-LAW RELATIONSHIP form because I did not understand it. Now, I just spoke with a friend in Canada, and he thinks I should try to update my information at the Canadian embassy before leaving Nigeria, as I am sure to get married before leaving. Is it possible to update information for an application that is being processed? I applied as single, and I will be married before going- which would mean inviting my fiancee over. What should I do. I need all the answers I can get... Thank u.

....bro, dont mash-up the work of God I beg....filling a common-law form now will require u updating ur financial stuffs as well and docs....not filling it initial means u have no common-law....now if u fill it, how can you justify your reasons for ommiting it...forget the claim u dont understand it....that one no go fly for CDHC...remember u be PhD student....lets be reasonable I beg...leave it the way it is....go ahead with ur marriage and invite ur wife after 6months or a year...no need to rush these things as u dont want to mess up things...but then again, na ur choice...

mozo: I think stocks would be considered more like a home tie, but not Funding

...Bro...u are wrong on that ...its part of financial stands bro....Stocks, bonds all same as bank account....

honourableseyi...I understand ur reasons...but the email address I use for the purpose of this forum is not one I check constantly....I will however promise to reply once I check and see ur mail.....

Goldie20: Hey Guys, I have decided to wait till next year to apply.. just found out if i leave the country more than 2 weeks here, i wont be able to apply for my citizenship.. and im only 8 months away from that... so i think im just gon wait and sort that out first and when im done apply.. i will just enroll in online studies with my school for now..

Good luck to everyone of you..

....Excellent choice...Excellent

...Company acct is risky bro...unless u claim the company is sponsoring u...in which case, u must show u have been working for the company and whatever program u are going for has a place within the company....Keep in mind, what ever BANK STATEMENT u produce is ur sponsor...so, even though he may own the company...so far the name on the statement reads company name...then the company is sponsoring u...and u must ensure u relate everything well....

Now, if u wanna claim he is ur bro-in-law or bro....then u have to prove that as well....how old is he, how old are ur parents....if the man is only few yrs younger than ur parents...that one get k leg....so...in all na ur choice...whichever one u wan claim...make sure u have all ur i's dotted and t's crossed well....

CNN) -- Toronto's mayor has purportedly been filmed on cellphone video smoking crack cocaine, the Toronto Star reported.

The footage appears to show Rob Ford "sitting in a chair, wearing a white shirt, top buttons open, inhaling from what appears to be a glass crack pipe," the newspaper says.
Two of the newspaper's reporters were shown the footage May 3 by someone who claims to have supplied the crack and shot the video. This person told the Star that they have previously given the mayor crack. The reporters watched the video three times.

The newspaper reports that the 90-second video allegedly shot last winter shows Ford "incoherent, trading jibes with an off-camera speaker who goads the clearly impaired mayor by raising topics including Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and the high school football team Ford coaches." "I'm f---ing right wing," Ford seems to mutter, the report says. "Everyone expects me to be right wing. I'm just supposed to be this great ... "

The newspaper says that the mayor appears to refer to the players on the football team as "just f---ing minorities." The Star claims the video ends when the smartphone rings and the mayor says, "That phone better not be on."

Read the Star's story about the cellphone video
The video is being shopped around by a group of men involved in the drug trade, the Star reported Thursday. The newspaper says that it has no way to verify the authenticity of the tape, and reports that its attempts to get comment from the mayor or his staff Thursday about the video were unsuccessful.
Thursday night, Ford's chief of staff, Mark Towhey, would not listen to questions by the Star and hung up on a reporter, the newspaper reports. CNN cannot confirm the video's authenticity.

Ford spoke Friday morning to reporters, but did not answer questions. He denied allegations, calling them "ridiculous" and "not true." CNN has calls into the mayor and the mayor's lawyer, Dennis Morris.

Also Thursday, the news site Gawker also ran a story about the video. A Gawker journalist says he was contacted by a tipster who described the tape, and the Gawker reporter flew to Canada to see the video in person. The journalist met with two men, one of whom showed the video -- still on the phone -- to the journalist, and then demanded money for the tape. The Gawker reporter did not pay for it and the man with the phone took off. Morris called Gawker's report "false and defamatory," the Star reported. Morris told the Star that it's impossible to know from watching a video what a person is actually smoking or drinking.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- South African police say thieves stole several hundred thousand dollars from a safe at a Johannesburg stadium where Justin Bieber and Jon Bon Jovi performed over the weekend.

South African media reported Tuesday that criminals climbed down a ladder and lowered themselves on ropes to enter a locked room where funds collected from concession stands at the concerts. The theft happened at Soccer City, a showcase stadium used during the World Cup football tournament in 2010.

Fan rushes stage at Bieber concert, tackled by guards Jacques Grobbelaar, head of Stadium Management SA, which operates the stadium, told eNCA television that he believes the heist occurred after 2 a.m. Monday, following Bieber's sold out concert. Bon Jovi performed on Saturday night. Police Lt. Col. Katlego Mogale says authorities are investigating whether the theft was an inside job.
