Hello All, I did an upfront medical on February 6 and submitted my application on April 18 (I added the e-medical sheet). Biometric passed on April 25. Since then no further update. Should I be worried? What can I do to get my medical updated quickly?

It's a Graduate Certificate.

So should I choose College - Certificate ?

JMG12:
Is it a post-graduate certificate or a post-graduate diploma? which ever one you are going for is there. ESL means English as a second language and FSL means french as a second language

Dear all,

I have my salary account which receives monthly salary, allowances and bonuses - most active account. I also have a savings account with a different bank into which I make transfers from my salary account. Almost all my funds for POF are in this savings account - which also includes investments in Government Tbills.

Question:
1. Should I transfer this huge money from my savings account into my salary account and use that for POF? OR-
2. Should I rather print both account statements and present as POF. (Eyes on document size)

Advice needed please.

Is it a MUST to touch on a study gap in the SOP? Which one is better? To mention it and address it or not to mention it?

Frankrobbn1:
A 10-year study gap might raise some questions, but it doesn't necessarily mean your study application to Canada will be jeopardized. To handle this issue and make your case convincing to the visa officer, you can focus on explaining the reasons for the study gap and how it has contributed to your personal and professional growth. Highlight any relevant work experience or self-study you've undertaken during that time. Emphasize your motivation and commitment to pursuing further education in Canada. Providing strong supporting documents, such as recommendation letters, a well-written personal statement, and evidence of any relevant achievements, can also help strengthen your case. Just be honest, clear, and confident in your application. Good luck with your application.


It will end in praise

Thank you for sharing.

This issue needs to be given proper attention now. Everywhere you go, it's always about how to enter Canada via student route. Many of our people have successfully migrated via this route. We will need you guys out there to continuously share your experiences on the pathways to PR since this is the main reason we're committing our meagre financial resources towards this cause.

The topic on transitioning to PR should be given the needed attention. Perhaps those who are out there and are in the process should create a topic for such discussions so we can all learn.

Nbv1:
I live here, unfortunately people outside hate the truth. It is difficult now to transit from study to PR. This is not being discussed on this forum . 80 percent of the students aren’t even aware of how difficult it is. Once they get in, they felt relaxed after being carried away with the beauty of the country and the number of years ahead especially when the are doing 2 years program which offers extra 3 years of PGWP.

The heart attack starts when the PGWP is about to expire. Most students never get jobs in their field of study. Most students will have to go back to the EE pool after studies and wait for miracles. Writing ielts, combining work experience and calculating points. The hope of students has also been put to rest since the Canadian government halts the CEC canada experience class draw .

This is because the population of these students is so huge. Only 25 percent ended up getting PR after study. Some are studying in the wrong province. It is also competitive and difficult to get PNP . I advice students to plan very well and don’t get overwhelmed with what they see . This place is expensive and it won’t worth it to come in vain and go in vain

The bank will return the funds to the account it was sent from, less administrative charges.
How does one open a GIC account from here? The list of countries to select does not include Ghana or Nigeria - from CIBC website. Same for Scotia Bank.

Politics › Re: "Thank God We're Not Nigerians" New Hit Song From Ghanian Singers by spacevice(m): 10:29pm On Apr 13, 2013
http://grahamghana./2011/08/29/thank-god-we’re-not-a-nigerians-or-a-ghanaians-who-missed-the-point-of-the-song/.



Fokn Bois recent song, Thank God I’m Not A Nigerians, has caused some controversy as it
was meant to do. The controversy itself is
interesting for the issues that it raises. Explaining a joke means it loses its humour. It
also becomes incredibly pedantic. So if you’ve
already got the joke, I suggest you go and read
something more interesting! The controversy Some think it is ridiculing Nigerian culture
but the point is missed as I will reveal later. An offence has been taken due to a
mishearing of the lyrics, reproduced on
many Nigerian websites, in which a verse
about Fela’s red draws (underpants) is
reported as “[something inaudible] drugs”. Some Ghanaian critics have highlighted the
mismatch of Wunlov’s African wear with
the songs critique of Nigerians for wearing
the same. But they didn’t question the
obvious contradiction seeing it only as
hypocrisy. Responses involve the accusation that this
song will destroy hopes of African unity, a
rather grand claim, but actually the
reactions themselves indicate possible
obstacles to unity. Some people have not seen the joke. Some
have even missed the clue – the deliberate
grammatical error in the title, the name of
the group and the fact they describe
themselves on Twitter as a “Christian rap duo”! The Background M3NSA and Wanlov the Kubolor are two musicians who come together to make Fokn
Bois. M3NSA is married to a Nigerian and his
daughter is Nigerian. He also enjoys Nigerian
food (there are comments in the song relating to
food). Kubolor means vagabond in the Ga language
hence he walks in bare feet. He also dresses in
his own unique African style – I don’t think
you’ll see him in Armani wear – as he sports his Trashy Bag made from the waste of pure water satchets! The duo are comedians hence the name Fokn
Bois. Humour should have no boundaries.
Programs such as South Park laugh at religion,
Jews, gays and the disabled. Black American
comedians make jokes about whites. British
comedians often ridicule their own audiences. People who appreciate this appreciate the
context and are able to laugh at themselves.
M3NSA and Wanlov both have international
influences and have travelled widely and their
music and views reflect a wider perspective. Failing to see the context of the song has
prevented an understanding of its intentions. The root of the problem? People mistake the character a musician
might play, for real life. People read song lyrics in the same way as
they read the bible – literally! (Yes, readers
I managed to slip in a dig at religion, even
into this post!) When I heard the song it seemed to me to be a
gentle teasing of cultural difference. There was
nothing vicious or nasty in it. However, it can be
difficult hearing a criticism, no matter how nicely
expressed, of one’s own country. We have to
accept that there is a history of rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria so it has immediately been
presumed this song is an attack. However,
people have rushed to send insults back the
other way without taking time to think. The fact that people seem to expect to be
insulted and respond by throwing more insults
perhaps suggests what the problems to African
unity really are. Fokn Bois became a symbol of
the whole of Ghana as the insults were not just
confined to the musicians but projected onto all Ghanaians. Are we able to move beyond this
hyper-sensitivity? Can we control ego and pride? The punch line The whole point of the song for me is not an
attack on Nigerians but, implicitly, a parodying of
the petty attitudes of some Ghanaians. There is obviously some teasing of Nigerians
involved but aren’t Fokn Bois adopting the
personas of narrow-minded people in order to
laugh at them? So we hear a criticism of traditional dress and a
pretentious glorification of Armani. We hear a
certain envy at the amount of meats Nigerians
eat. We hear negative attitudes to Liberians
(when I first came to Ghana I was advised to stay
away from Liberians!) and so on. Fokn Bois are not expressing their own
prejudices, in my opinion, but are parodying the
small-minds of some Ghanaians. Some Nigerians
have obviously seen this but didn’t take it further
to realise this is the joke. It’s also been lost on
some Ghanaians who thought they were laughing at Nigerians! Or am I reading too much into it? Let the games
begin!

HI all,
Just did a little research and a small deliberation with Ilish and i have come to this conclusion.With 90cm,you can combine astra 2B, Eutelsat W4/W7 and Galaxy 11/Intel 802 all on the same dish(3 in 1 combination).It must be noted that according to sources those channels had been there for a while and that the Channels or Transponders for Intelsat Newdawn are yet to be activated.
Hi Sword,

Great news! Since you are a BIG time professional; I was just thinking if you can help design an LnB BRACKET for that three-in-one setup? Will love to try my hands.
