Congrats @MichaelFinn.
Did you have at least a 4.0 in the last 2 years of your UG?

Wow! A big congratulations to you! You are really blessed!

Team12:

Medicals requested for SOWP. 13 days!!!

Blessed be God. It never hurts to try

Lol no now. Are you chasing me?

TempusQ:
Yeah, cheaper than others...
As that was KennyKentipsy's interest...
Haven't you traveled?

Cheaper than others you mean.

TempusQ:
Check out: travelstart.com
Lufthansa and Egyptair are kinda better than others

Exactly, those details are important. Are you a simple or complex applicant? Lol

I get charged 1k flat when I withdraw with my GTB card at any time of the year. Even when I try to credit my Santander account by sending money to a friend in the UK, the withdrawal charge is still 1k flat. Even last week.
You can read this thread to see other people's GTB Mastercard 1k charge. It's a normal thing https://www.nairaland.com/1211270/withdraw-money-gtb-mastercard-us
You were just lucky

favour0011:
I was in uk in may. Was charged 420 naira for every atm withdrawal using my gtb mastercard.

Lol, you say? If wishes were horses...

GboyegaD:
The rates fluctuates though. My last transaction before Sunday was about $176 to N1.

Your own biometric and medical limit is specific to you. Some people have 14 days, some 28 days, others 30 days. It depends on what your biometrics letter says.

mirenda:
When you submit your application and you are called for biometrics, within how many days must the biometric be done?

@badtsharpguy
Diamond Bank Naira Visa Debit for Intl transactions:
ATM withdrawal charge: N240
POS and online: Free
Annual service fee: N100
POS Cash Advance: N750
ATM Daily Limit: $300
POS Daily Limit: $10,000 (20 times)
Web Daily Limit: $5,000 (5 times)
Annual Spend Limit: $50,000

(@Chars1289, I believe the location has some effect on the commission because atm withdrawal for GT in Canada is about N450 while it's N1,000 in the UK

Chars1289:
Exchange rate + commission is not location base rather it depends on your bank in Nig cos diff banks hve diff exchange rate wen atm cards are used outside Nig.

For Stanbic IBTC here are the charges
ATM withdrawal charges........N240
POS charges.................Free
Online Transactions.....Free

Limits
ATM........N150, 000(or its equivalent in the currency you are transacting in)
POS.........N1, 000, 000
Online Transactions....N500, 000
Annual Limit...... $150, 000 for international transactions.

Hope you find the info helpful.

If the company isn't his, then he cannot write a sponsorship letter on his company letter head because the letter head means that the letter is from from the company which is not because it is not his company. In your case, the only document that should be letterheaded is one that is from the company as an entity to use to introduce your uncle as a staff of the company. So that one should be on letterheaded paper. I hope it's clear. These are important details

favour0011:
My dear... I've always known it's a wrong tin to do... but I usually see on here that people write sponsors letter on their letter head... just didn't occur to me that it must hv been written on the sponsors personal company letterhead. My bad! quote author=tnuola post=36511084]

Lol.. Like seriously you shouldn't even ask this kinda question o, your sponsor is too correct.
He doesn't own the company and you want him to write the sponsorship or personal letter on the letter head of a company he doesn't own?
Biko type suntin on a plain sheet of paper.

You might not know but its more like fraud.

I use N170 for all my calculations

badtsharpguy:
Thank you @TheBae.

Sorry for my plenty questions, but how much is the exchange rate from the Canadian Dollar to the Naira via the ATM through Diamond Bank.

That information is vital in drafting a detailed financial plan.

No I don't but Diamond commission is about N250
But they both have about the best exchange rates right now, especially Stanbic.

badtsharpguy:
Thanks, please do you have an idea of how much the exchange rate plus commission is via the ATM in Calgary with the above mentioned banks??

Stanbic
Diamond

badtsharpguy:
Please what bank(s) in Nigeria gives the best exchange rate, I intend to use my Naira-based ATM card when I get to Calgary.

Dear NLders, you cannot commit crime or overstay in the US and expect to get a Canadian visa, even if you get a brand new passport. It won't happen unless you address the issue. There's no way they won't share information. Forget about what they tell you. I even read somewhere at IOM that personal info won't be released but other countries can access your medical result if need be cos it's on a database. I'll like to think that you're well-travelled so you should know that these countries will do every and anything possible to control the kind of people that get into their country. The Globe and Mail is a credible source so the link Soj posted is sufficient to let this thing die until you come up with a more authentic one that proves otherwise. Don't believe everything the government tells you, they ain't loyal to you or even their citizens. They are loyal to themselves alone. Even if they write that they won't share personal info from your application form, best believe the will, to confirm that you're not fraudulent or dangerous. Remember Nigeria is a terrorist country
**Edit**
@gravition2
I see that you have accepted the fact. It's okay to be wrong and accept that you are which you finally did. Your first posts on this issue were just ridiculous, I respect how confident you still were and how adamantly you stood by your belief and how "gba je n sinmi-ly" you accepted that you were wrong..
Cheers

Graviton2:
Googled the said law "signed" without much fanfare. No authentic or verifiable result.

Official documents or articles off the web, which to believe?

Lol after you've brought it up. But then again, they won't hear word. Nobody has time to argue it again

hayqinsbFX:
its so strange how the talk of QUOTA hasnt being brought up.......
Dont let me bring it up sha..

#hibernating

10M showed in my transaction history just few days before application and I still got trv mind you that was almost the closing balance, the major question is how good is the total credit it comparison to the total debit?

hayqinsbFX:
lodging a huge sum is wrong.
it has to be built up in transaction history..

I'm sure you can get samples BUT
Be mindful of plagiarism and be sure to make it specific to the university/college you're applying to

Sjvictor21:
Hello House,

Good morning to you all. I am writing my statement of purpose and it looks like i have writers block. i can't seem to write anything meaningful. Maybe it's because i don't have any relevant work or volunteering experience. I am applying to an MPH program in Uni. of Saskatchewan. Please anyone with a copy of SOP should holla me pleassssssse. Help a brother. I am fed up going online to see SOP's I wanna see a sample of SOP written by a Nigerian going for MPH. Thanks

Lol! Had to check your moniker again to be sure

berexio1:
lemme assume ur figure is in canadian dollars..is it a one-time grant or yearly?wats d duration of ur programme?

**Wondering y I am asking questions like Haquinbfx??****

Yes you can but you have to pay first

waleakins:
Please, can one go to IOM without a prior appointment and get d medicals done?

Lol you guys crack me up.
So that's how you just rotate crush like that eh? Lol goodluck with your application

TempusQ:
Hmmm
Akin...
Must you always be the first to show interest to my silent crush...
You did that with @Taike I didn't complain, now is @TheBae...

Well @TheBae, I won't show interest until I get my TRV.

Lmao! All these theories and assumptions of yours. Smh

hayqinsbFX:
Haha

From ur moniker believe you should be ...a fine girl......
Let me send you a PM....

Well, I'm rare so..

hayqinsbFX:
you wont hear from them in form of mail, thats normal.
but when you track itll show dispatched....but if yours didnt show dispatched on the 22nd or 23rd then its a rare case.

It's Vfs tracking not CIC, I don't think Vfs will know exactly when the visa is approved until CIC sends it or something. Didn't hear a word from vfs (tracking) throughout until they got my passport 5 days after. I don't know sha but that was how mine went.

hayqinsbFX:
by normal trend your tracking status should have changed on the 22nd when the approval mail came in..
then the email you got from vfs and cic is just a mail saying your passport is ready for collection.

I really cannot remember but right now it's showing "your passport has been collected from the Canada Visa Application Centre"

Thomby2k12:
Ok. Thanks.

But after you got the ready-for-pick up mail from vfs, what did your passport status change to when you tracked your application?

Approval mail with POE letter on the 22nd
Dispatch mail from both CIC and Vfs on the 27th.

hayqinsbFX:
wat date was on your approval mail and what date did you recieve the emsage from vfs

Whattttttt? Not you too!
This is so hard to believe! I can't just believe it. These people are so messed up! I can't begin to imagine how painful this feels. I'm so sorry

Crich:
Hello guys.
Glory to God. I was delayed yesterday based on four reasons:
Insufficient funds, travel history, personal asset, and family ties in Canada n Nigeria.

Truth be told, this CIC style of processing applications for months is the worst ever. They need to review it. Na their mate be USCIS.

So, after rejoicing with you guys and my family for 1 weeks, I received a shocker. Lol! I'm still trying to recuperate. This is a very bad feeling.
All guys expecting TRV, my candid advise, to avoid hypertension, kindly prepare for the worst.
If you have been called for medical, pls, know that that DOESN'T guarantee a TRV.
This is my story.

Chai! So, you guys will be consoling me now. Hahahahahahahahaha!

Iomlagosmedicalbooking@iom.int
I told them I wanted to book an appointment for Canada medical exam. They replied almost instantly

waleakins:
oh ok.. Abeg hint me, what did u tell them in d mail?

Yes, showed "processing all through" even after I got approval mail. It only just changed after I got a mail from Vfs telling me that my documents are ready for pickup

Thomby2k12:
@TheBae, please did you track your application before/after you got your approval mail on the 22nd of July 2015?

What response did you get?

I emailed them, yes you can.

waleakins:
Thanks@ TheBae.
Did u call that number on IOM address to book appointment. Can i book appointment for monday today?
