USD is 321 on GTB naira MasterCard. but GTB charges 244NGN for 1 CAD. double check which of the dollar transaction you did and revert. regards

Canadian and not tru bank. Personal exchange with people.

gentleluv:
Good day everyone. Am new here and I want to make enquiry about studying in Quebec if any body can guide me. Just paid for an admission application at lasalle college Quebec. Please how is life in Quebec for international students

Not to discourage u but even citizens from canada move there and complain they are racist not only to blacks but anyone thats not from Quebec

klawaaa:
many banks refused to sell due to the CBN condition (don't sell more than 5NGN above/below official rate). GTB only permit their Mastercard naira debit cards which you can have access to 360CAD max per month. 1CAD=244NGN

Yes but sending money from canadian to naira Accountivity is at 320. Still had a transaction last week

Riddeek:
wait ooo so you mean u were charged at the rate of (lets say 23 at most) 23000/90 = 255.56 naira per canadian dollar...
So wat abt all those stuffs i have been reading online abt it being around 350~360 naira per CAD?
Or did Buhari's naira suddenly appreciate overnight?

Banks give u less money we are sending money to naija at 320

brandymcmb:


I gave those ones 1k, they just unzipped the bag and zipped it back

They didn't even open it

Ha makes sense. Loll

brandymcmb:


Nope, just avoid palm oil, milk and meat you would be fine

My bag was not even touched at any airport

Thanks for replying friends mum recently came and they took her beans and elubo and palm oil at muritarla airport even after she dropped 2k

michV:
Once they get their TRV and you didn't get,you are no longer on thesame page with them, even during application for TRV they would give you countless chats,mails,questions,help review and calls.but once they get the TRV and enter that country.little assistance to help pay application fee to refund the individual on agreeable rate becomes a problem.Helping with GCMS note application which you aint doing free for me becomes a hard decision and many more but not to mention."indirectly you are telling me all man for himself". you ll come to think of within you "i thought we were good mates on chat and helping each other for this major goal". Sincerely if you interest is SOLELY to utilize me don't PM ME.i hate selfishness..i am not being egoistic but wiser

i am sorry to hear your story, similar to a girl that used and dumped me i got a place bought furniture's only for her to say last minute that she is staying with family friend, it is the bitter truth in Canada every man for himself, your friend that u even eat together will hide information from you last minute. dont expect the same people that you help to help you back instead God sends other people in their place and they will sure learn their lessons, even tough it still hurts i have learnt to always do good because God will repay me, but yeah thats how all this people do as if u are eran igbe when you land for canada

Avalon316:


I asked Fanshawe college to send the Money to my own very domiciliary account,they refused. See attached emails. My problem is...do they have the right to say where the refund goes to?

everything in canada is refunded via original form of payment unless rules change

this is for people that recently traveled out of Nigeria to Canada, i will be visiting Nigeria after 2 years away and i am wondering if they disturbed you on your trip out for carrying food stuffz and what did you do?

CapitalCee:


Please when did you use GTB Mastercard to pay

Find someone abroad sho can pay and ull send money to heir nigerian account. They have stopped the use of nigerian cards internationally

Tarry:


Yes the students visa conditions requires that you must be actively pursuing you studies to maintain status but if you can take a paid internship for a year which is not part of the study requirements and return to complete the study it should be possible to defer your study for a year to work. The basic thing is if the school will approve it and of course you must maintain status by the time you are applying for study permit extension.

Also you can have financial challenges after you have obtain trv despite you provided evidence of millions available during you application cause situation can change anytime such as death of the sponsor or sudden financial disaster

Interesting topic. Justwise is 99 percent right. The only way to go about it is to register less courses and work in between. I do knw a lot of canadian citizens that take a year off and come back to school. Never heard of a foreign student doing that

shinarambo1:

lmao. gorimapa..cant remember the last time i heard that word...you are very funny ...
You know $450 bucks..shared basement (athough hard to come by).....bollywood section of NE Calgary.

Lol yeah my first apartment was even 380$. Basement large bed fully furnished. Bt i froze to death and moved out the next morning. Has milipede strolling around. Was upgraded to a 450$ upstairs apartment was way better

Made123:

Jeez.. this is bad, why would she do such to someone with a generous heart. Hello dear, you are not alone. I tried helping someone with a police clearance and the person was acting as if he was a novice in this forum until I checked his profile and discovered he has grown beards in this thread. I just decided to keep silent all these while. if I were you, I would have told the person to send me a copy of any of these(TRV, Admission letter) before helping out.

It is well oh. I still try to do my best cos i knw God will repay my hustle.

shinarambo1:

free house in canadal.lol.
but if she gets 1month free, that could save her atleast $450.

Lol 450$ shared apartment mayb. Rent is kinda expensive in Calgary. Lol shared apartment here na die. Neighbors dont have any form of brain. Was living with almost 8 people upstairs. God had to shine light for me I downgraded to two was too noisy , then got an apartment lovely in calgary for rent for females fully furnished i had even seen someone willing to rent before the gorimapa came my way and wasted my time. Mchew. Lol

Pacypatty:


Why do we always forget this karma quote:"do to others what u want others do to u" pls try forgive d person,all the cash u used in preparing the house God ll repay u in million folds... That's wickedness

Amen o. I know doing good makes good return back to me. In her case doing bad. Well u knw the rest. Thanks my sister

Chrissybaybee:


And how do I go about 'sick grandparent' cos actually my grandmom is ill

Thanks.

You attach sick documents etc. But anywhere they ask maybe on the form include it. Include her name especially on the application form.

Chrissybaybee:


Thanks for your swift response. You are right but like I said I'm currently unemployed, no house or business in my name, not married. I have 3 siblings though, I'm d last child. My sponsor is based in Nigeria. My sponsor has got some lands but even if she's to bequeath one to me now, it will look suspicious. Can u expatiate more on 'pending program'

My dear u go try am ni o! I saw one guy land no Job in nigeria. I dont knw how they do it. No ties sef. Pending program is a course you want to do abroad thatll increase ur chances of work in nigeria. Frame ur application in that way

Phunmmiee:

Your own better, someone asked for help fr His Younger brother going to Toronto/ Manitoba and later to Brandon and I offered to help. A place to stay both in Toronto and Winnipeg but I told him he will drop some food items fr his host in Toronto, He agreed.
My contact even agreed to pick him up at the airport savinv Him $50 for Taxi.
We were talking on phone and I told them I will bring the items to the airport, call the host so that they can talk then give the guy travelling the hosts number so I can be sure the person getting the number is actually travelling they agreed.
The on the set day, I called and the guy travellling wasnt picking till 3pm, so I called the sister who said they are on the way from Benin to Lagos.
My next call the father picked and said the boy isnt leaving again. Of course I knew it all, so I sent a mail to the elder brotherwho asked for help on this thread and he apologized and said the parents would have preferred I gave them the contact ahead.
I learnt.

Yet people don't understand when u decide not to help them. They think you are being wicked ts the evil acts like this that makes u step back. But am happy because canada teaches u to value information the girl thinks she is smart. I laugh. They used the guy that was in contact with me. Disturbed the guy , the guy left work and was running up and down then told him they dont want again. That theyv seen free house. Loll the only place they cant throw u out of is family home. Even A family friend will kick ur a55 out without remorse. Leave them. Let them continue. Canada is a teaching ground. Just keep doing good. God will repay us.

Chrissybaybee:
Hello House. Please can someone help me answer this:

I have been unemployed since October last year but I'm currently undergoing some certification courses which is in line with what I'm going to study. I was given a letter from the IT comp.sch to prove this so I intend adding it to my application to show that I've not been idle. Now my qtn is, how do I tackle this personal asset & financial status I'm seeing everywhere as a reason for denial? (Since I'm not working) I'm not sponsoring myself & i don't want to include my personal account because its 'RED' . Also please, how can I prove home ties. I'm 28. My sponsor is solely responsible for everything Canada-wise till I atleast get acclimatized & probably get a job. Application is for study permit.

Please respond.

Job, pending program, house in your name business in your name. Child , sick parents or sick grandparents are all ties you can use. If your sponsor is based in canada it raises less suspicion

.

I just wanna thank someone in the house.the person Used me to get all sorts of information into canada. Even when she has not gotten her visa, Which is fine information is free. Led me on making me deny other hopeful people looking for accomodation in calgary. Went ahead furnished the whole place awaiting her arrival even printed the lease. Only for her to cancel last minute. Laughs in igbo, My sister may God repay you accordingly. The fastest way to shoot yourself in the foot in canada is to use people for information and swindle them in the end i pity you. Canada is a different ball game even your best friend will not let you know what is beneficial so when you see people on this forum based in canada readily available and happy to give information be glad.
My dear sister. You know yourself ,may God almighty be the judge!!!
