Happy new year people! Pls forgive my absence thus far, been trying to settle down (bank acct, phone, accommodation...)

Lets look forward to a beautiful future.

Congratulations to all the new TRV holders, God will perfect His works in ur life.

Toronto is really a beautiful city! Still looking for accommodation tho, oga siga I would really appreciate if u cud help, my budget na 400, thanks.

Once again I wish u all a very BLESSED 2014
Thank you Lord!!!

Countdown to take off...Toronto here I cum!
To the hopefuls, keep dreaming because dreams do come true! All is well.

@snugle Confam! Just reserved my seat...

snugle: @Sparta_300

I recall you saying you are leaving on Air France tomorrow right? If you are, then we are on the same flight.

No doubt, digression/derailing as u called it adds a little spice to this thread especially as e come be love matter...but calling someone names is just taking it too far. Only u talk say u fit meet ur life partner someday, sometime, somehow, somewhere...na only life partner u dey find abi Calm down with the name calling, thats all...

Amefrica: And you think here would be this interesting, if there was no digression/derailing?

You get to meet your life partner/hubby, someday, sometime, somehow and somewhere..

Bros abeg no be so ooo...since when did we start to dish out insults? Besides, its really becoming a bore. Here inspired me to get my trv, not to come n fall in love. (Which is a good thing) but I'm sure a thread can be created specifically for that...ease up dude

Amefrica: Who's this smelling hater?! If it's getting boring, can't you just shut ur mouth and shove ur opinion back to ur bushy a'ss.

Low life snitch always think they have a say. Grow Up and get a life!

A very merry Christmas to everyone in the house! May the joys of this season bring warmth (especially to those wey dey -6°c) to ur heart.
Anyone leaving on the 29th with Airfrance? How the airline even they
Best wishes y'all!

@Kclexa Really?! Didn't know that was possible based on d biometric one has to do. If so, thats really good!

Fhemmmy: I think it is better you just buy enough to last you for your trip and i dont think you would need more than 200$ (feeding and maybe you feel like buying something on the way) you could withdraw using your UBA card here and the charges is not much at all, but the Nigerian bank will charge you though.

Fhemmmy I hail o! Talking about money for the trip...shebi I need to present financial proof at the POE? And if yes, is it the same bank statement I used during my application that I should present

..

Lexmikey, if u are having trouble uploading ur files, I'll advice u get a faster internet, that cic website requires a very fast one.
Also I found this site very useful when I had to reduce my documents http://compress.smallpdf.com/
Make sure ur documents are properly titled n saved in the right format eg LEXMIKEY BANK STATEMENT.pdf
Lastly, get either a firstbank or GTB mastercard for payment, I'm not sure abt other banks.

lexmikey: thanks a lot,oyo no be my portion hence the difficulty I had in reviewing and making payment.if not I would have been thinking of withdrawing my application and reappliying.that's another 210CAD.with all document due arranged in PDF and uploaded,I am still stuck with review and payment step which has refused to load.I am letting my profile on cic cool off till monday for retrial.I would however appreciate any suggestion on how to proceed beyond this upload document. Phase I am stuck in

Happy birthday Jesunro! wishing u a swift and successful trv application and ur own "miss bon" for the cold

Jesunro: Hello House. Today is my Birthday. Please say a word of Thanksgiving to God on my behalf. I love you all...

Oya take mic... yarn make we hear! Lol

greatheights: *sm1 plz pass mi d mic*

By typing ur FULL name after clicking submit. Doing so is an equivalent of signing. No digital pen, no printing to sign, just type ur FULL name shekina!

onos9ice: How do I sign digitally?

ChriGo: ...@Spantan 300...does ur course have coop?...

U make a strong point sha! No, my course doesn't have coop.
But what if after graduating, I apply for a work permit (1yr) n as u said, 6months goes by before work show, can I den extend my study permit (Msc now) n do both (work + skol) at the same time? Or I should just hang on, complete both programs (PDG + Msc *2 years plus now*) then now apply for a work permit. All this talk na just over calculating sha, but its best not to dive in blindly abi?

quote author=PlayPays]

YES[/quote]Mhen... that link u dropped was very insightful, thanks!
Just to be clear, my main purpose of going to canada is to bag an Msc but since I no gree read book when I dey uniport, I'm left with the option of doing a PGD first (Wireless Telecommunication *8 months*) then make the transistion to Msc.
But I still can't wrap my head why Chrigo is insisting that doing a 2yrs coop seems to be a good choice

kayconsult: @ champion don't worry, you are on the right track if you are going in for a year PGD. There are lots of provincial nominee program for international students who are studying for their master or post graduate program,this depends on the province you intend schooling in. For instance, those that will be schooling in ontario can use the PNP to fast track there permanent residence permit.upon graudation and having gotten a job offer, your employer will fill a form called the pre-screen application form on your behalf,once this is done, you will then submit the form with other supplementary document to cic. Note the fee for internation student is $1,500,as soon as your application is positive,gbam, you will be a permanent resident holder with almost all the full benefits of a canadian citizen.

The bold part...does that mean that a PR's tutition fee will be cheaper as compaired to an international student?

No, I'm not married.
The acronym SOP means what? And can you kindly send me a format of a well written SOP.... Thanks[/quote]SOP - Statement Of Purpose
Click the links below to see a sample for it.

onos9ice: Hello house,
How do I prove that I'll be coming bak to Nigeria afta my studies. And how do I increase my family ties.

Are u married? If so that will be a plus, include ur marriage certificate.
Having a STRONG SOP will do, make sure it tells the VO exactly why u even want to leave in the first place. Your family picture could also prove family ties.
Landed properties is also a good way of showing home ties.

But personally, I applied via online n I didn't need to present any landed properties or a family picture, I just submitted a well written SOP stating clearly that I am going to return.

Oga siga and Fhemmmy, abeg I dey find accomodation too...
Headed to Humber College late Dec.
I've seen some on Places4Students.com but to seal d deal na wahala.
I'll really appreciate ur assisstance.

I did mine in port harcourt (Prime Hospital) funny enough, it was sent almost immediately (2-3 days) the delay was the x-ray results. But na 30k instead of the normal 28k sha...

kingRoosevelt: Haven't heard anyone say they did their meds in Port Harcourt. .they hardly use here tho...I think this place might take a day or two..

Little advice for those seeking off campus accomodation, proximity to school should be ur priority. With the way pple dey complain abt the cold, u don't want to be trekking long distances to school or as Oga siga talk, dey cry for bus stop. Try n get somewhere very close to school, not only will it save u bus fare, it will also save u tears. LOL

Ps: I no for mind travelling companion ooh!

Humber College is a good choice. They offer Wireless Telecommunication and its still open for January intake. I am heading there for the same course.

Dr_Jay02: Hello house,
Please house help in suggesting a college where I can find a PGD electrical/electronics engineering
It's very urgent,
Thanks

Anointed111: Pleas does anybd have a clue on how long this online route could take on the average...what could be d fate of any jan 2014 about to submit?? Tnx for your anticipated response ;DPleas does anybd have a clue on how long this online route could take on the average...what could be d fate of any jan 2014 about to submit?? Tnx for your anticipated response

As at today 16th oct, if u have ur admission letter with u, I don’t see why u shouldn't give it a try.
Online takes abt 6weeks if everything goes according to plan, I'm guessing the Jan 2014 start date will be the first week of jan so do d math, u cud still make it. No be long
