I thought this only applies if you have a return ticket

Zodiacwarrior:
Good day @Alchemist01

If you have been given your visa you are entitled to buy 4000usd from the bank at normal rate and they stamp it to your passport you can either choose to collect cash or have it deposited to your dorm account.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot ladies, so very helpful. Locks are a no no for me tho but the crotchet and jumbo braids is definitely on the list. Will add them to the shopping list

Virnee:
Knowing how expensive that would be, during the lockdown and while currently waiting for the travel restrictions to be eased, I went YouTube to learn how to DIY jumbo braids, etc.. [quote author=SlowlybtSurely post=101630447]If you have natural luscious hair, you might want to consider putting it in locks instead of cutting it. You can always cut it later if you change your mind.
[quote author=GraciousWords post=101633283]Another option apart from low cut, wigs and dreads is crochet.

If you can at least weave/cornrow your own hair all back into 8 or 10 lines, just get a crochet pin and take already braided crochet braids or spring twists along and you're good to go in under 1 hour. You can buy the crochet braids ready made packs or just get the extensions and have your regular salon make them into crochet for you.

Wow, lemme charter plenty wigs before I leave. Thanks for the heads up

SlowlybtSurely:
Join the club . It's not just the money, it's the associated inconvenience and stress. You can use wigs if you end up not feeling the short hair.

Ladies in the house please how easy and convenient is it to get a stylist in Canada that is good with natural hair? Especially in Newfoundland

I am considering cutting my hair before traveling as I wouldn’t want to be spending so much money on my hair as a student

This does not apply to web payment made using your dollar card

JosephYemsol:
Ketima! Hi!

Quick one pls. Regarding funding your dorm account, how did you get the money into your account? Cos I heard that cbn policies says cash deposited on the counter to account CANNOT be transferred, rather it can only be withdrawn.

Did you get the aboki to transfer to your dorm Acc or how did you do it?.

On it, thanks

ednut1:
get one here, you dont qualify for monthly repayment stuffs just like that.

Thanks for the clarification, this helps a lot

olasubomy:
It has advantages on both sides. For example, if you get a laptop from Nigeria, you get the advantage of getting one at a lower price, but you would have to pay some amount of dollars for its repair in Canada if it gets faulty. On the flip side, if you buy over here in Canada, though you pay more considering the exchange rate, you have protection/warranty for the product. Walmart stores sell their electronic items relatively cheaply compared to other stores, so I would say you try Walmart. You would find Walmart stores in any province in Canada.

Regarding paying for the product monthly, I am not so sure about that, except you already have a credit history here; that option might not be available for you for now since you would still be new in the country.

This is my own sincere view.

Please is it advisable to buy a cheap laptop in Nigeria with the option of upgrading to a better laptop when I get to Canada? I want to know if I can get a good laptop over there and pay monthly

Please we need landing gist Anyone travelled recently using KLM, kindly share what was required before boarding in Lagos airport and at Amsterdam

Maximum of 72 hours before May 8th

OyiBeeBee:
Good morning.
Please I don't mean to derail this thread but I'm sure I'd get the correct answer here.

If my flight is scheduled to leave Lagos on the 8th of May by 10pm and land Toronto on the 9th of May. Please when do I do my covid test?

Thank you.

Then I think your question is how to get a quote using flywire, I am sure someone here who used flywire can help with that

Benquip:
I have mailed the school and they kept on saying I should use flywire the name of the school is Durham College

Just find out from your school what’s their preferred method for funds transfer, Global pay is different from fly wire. I think you should mail your school at this point or mention your school here incase someone else has made payment to same school

Benquip:
Please I just sent you a mail on the global pay because I would like to know how to get it also is it through flywire that you'd got the quote?

Yes postgraduate

I provided my Bsc cert, admission letter, minimum expense form and data page of my intl passport

RxOtunba:
Are you goin for a postgraduate program? If Yes, what were the documents you used in processing the form A payment? I want to know if NYSC certificate is required/compulsory. Thanks.

For the form A I was the one that made the payment using stanbic Ibtc. My school uses Global pay so I got a quote from Global pay which had the required bank information and the amount

Benquip:
Please when your friend used the Stanbic Form A did he or use use invoice from the school?

Just replied ur mail

KRTL:
Form A pls ..to pay my school fees deposit

Are u referring to the form A or PTA? For PTA of course you need a valid visa and also a return ticket. The requirement is the same across all banks

KRTL:
Stanbic said you should have a visa already when I contacted them..pls what's their requirements

wow, this is painful. It’s just a delay, pls refire

Benquip:
Applied November 12, Biometrics completed 23 and got the refusal April 15. Amen

411.30 to 1 usd

Yk45:
At what rate please?

Return ticket, and you can only apply 2 weeks before ur travel date

MsJanez01:
Please can u help find out if her flight ticket is one way or 2way ticket? I know they don't give PTA to 1way flight

411.30 to 1 usd

PotentialNurse:
What was the rate of their PTA?

Hello house, if you are planning on using form A to pay your fees and you have an account with Stanbic bank or know someone who does pls use them. My form A was processed in 4 days and my friend got PTA up to 4K dollars from them as well. Avoid First Bank, I repeat avoid First Bank!

Hello house, if there is anyone traveling to Canada via Montreal on the 23rd of May and needs a travel buddy kindly message me let's link up. Thanks

Hello, the 405 is it for 1 CAD or 1 USD?

Anon123:
Good day, I can be of assistance. I sell at #405 as well as facilitate payments for either tuition, application or visa fee.

yesssssssssss, congrats to you. it has ended in praises

oyibo4real:
Guys rejoice with me. GOD has done it and I give HIM ALL THE GLORY!!!

My PPR is here finally and I wish the same to all the hopefuls in JESUS NAME, AMEN!!!

I can’t wait to rejoice with you, what province are u going to?

oyibo4real:
Who says we're asking them to help us get PPR? Na wa oo!!! I wouldn't want to drag you for this misinterpretation, just because you're my friend . I always try to verify some information before acting on them, so YES, it is within their SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS to assist us(admitted students) with such enquiry(Try google).

We have been so oppressed here that even when we're presented with the opportunity to exercise our rights, we still jump and pass, God go help us. You better drop this mentality as you're going abroad, if not you'll miss several opportunities without knowing it, Yes! I am talking from experience this time!( I hope you come back to thank me for this advice especially as it relates to living abroad)
Nobody will crucify you for making enquiries, but most times you get penalised/punished for being ignorant. If you're not well informed, you'll be deformed; so till Thy Kingdom come, Information is still power!

Am sorry, I still have to talk about Indians again cos their energy is too much, these people write to Canadian PRIME MINISTER concerning their delayed applications and still get cool reply from him(Try this at your own risk, my hand no dey).
This is not me trying to encourage sending unnecessary emails to these MPs especially when your application is still within normal processing time(am guilty here), rather am here to discourage us from carrying this our fear fear mentality abroad, try it and be counting losses.

I know we have our problems as individuals and as a country, trust me, we are still good people unfortunate with e.... govt, hence the reason most of us are in this thread today.

IRCC, what are you still waiting for? Abeg release my LOVE LETTER, make all this plenty talk stop biko.

Nice one, I like proactive people. It will end in praise

oyibo4real:
Ah! Me that have received response from my own requesting for further information about my application. I used Google immediately I saw your first message,

CONGRATULATIONS sleekcheek and thank you so much for this, more blessings. Please let's all try and use google sometimes for some information to avoid 'enlongating'(whatever that means )the thread unnecessarily.


May it end in praise for us all in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Please for those interested in sending a mail as per my previous post kindly see the below information (I have received lots of mails so far and may not be able to reply to all)

Just search for constituency members of parliament in Canada, there are lots of them and their email addresses are available online. For me, I sent to the ones serving in my school district.

For the body of the message, it is simply a soft plea for them to assist in inquiring into your application's status and if possible expedite the final decision.

Hope this helps.

They are available online, run a search on google

Ribasandez:
How were you able to get the email of a member of the constituency?

I have responded

Benquip:
Please can you give a full information on how you did it I just sent you a mail

The eagle has landed, vfs Abuja is still the best. Sent to VFS Abuja on 30th of March
Counterfoil and LOI: 2nd April
Passport received: 6th April

Please tell me uve ordered ur GCMS notes, check my last post it might be helpful

Lyndaa22:
I send mails and webforms daily, I’ve done everything I know I can do, omo right now I’m leaving it for God to complete.

My program has already started, we are in the 12th week..

I took a piece of advice from here and sent a mail to a constituency member of the town where my school is located. I received a response from his office asking for details of my application and they assisted in making enquires to IRCC on my behalf. I got my PPR in less than 2 weeks after that. I don't know if it's a coincidence but I thought I should mention it.

Benquip:
My Application is now 4months and a week, still no response from IRCC
