@All you may want to know that an existing EU law demands that all EU airlines provide passengers whose flights are cancelled, accommodation and feeding etc for the duration of the delay. Eg it's been snowing crazily all day in the UK especially in London and flights have been cancelled consequently. What this means is that for example all passengers flying an EU airline need not worry about Hotel or feeding...EU law demands the airlines provide this...this law doesn't necessarily exist for other continental airlines. I remembered this from Richard Quest sometime last year... This may be a factor you wanna consider as your flight may transit in any city that may be experiencing heavy snow storm or worse at the time. |

No yawa bro.Na BA I dey speak for...prices may differ from day to day. But I believe N225k isn't bad for the comfort BA offers.it works for me adexcube: For BA your right but not for all airlines. |
| Travel › Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by TRVIJN: 3:23pm On Jan 17, 2013 |
Well that depends on you and your plans, however, even if you don't you will not be chained to the flight just because you paid for return  A one way flight may be say, N246,000 but a return N226,000.... just do whatever works for you bro adexcube: The big question is am i coming back immediately after my studies |

You may have a point there mercy, but i believe that if the initial acceptance letter is original (directly from the school) and he filled 1 yr (of course based on the info he got from the school) then CDHC will not penalize him if they scanned a copy of the letter for confirmation by the said school. Also on the PGWP you get a PGWP for the duration of the program you graduated from but up to a maximum of 3yrs. please see link below, i just felt i should correct you on that. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad.asp mercylicious: What if at the time cdhc writes d school to confirm the admission status, they reply dt its a 2 year course? Cdhc will think that he reduced the duration to be able to meet up financial proof ( my tot), dt may earn him a ban for misleading cdhc. |
| Travel › Re: Travelling To Canada Part 3 by TRVIJN: 11:23am On Jan 16, 2013 |
I would advise you not to complicate your issues. even me who isn't a CDHC staff find the story phoney because you were consistent with your acceptance letter when filling the form (my own thoughts). when you get to Canada you can apply to extend your stay. i advise you to be 100% truthful. iwinosajack : |

No worry, after I certify in Canadian Tax, y'll get discount on my consultancy fees. Na UK Tax planning I sabi for now sha. ACCA things. Fhemmmy: That one is what i hate, not the tax itself oh but having to read btw the lines, cos they will advertise a flight for like 99$, only for you to know the extra to be coughed out by you would be double that, in taxes and other fees, however, the govt is cracking down on them to make sure that all takes and hidden charges are spell out well . . . |

| Politics › Sokoto State Is The Poorest State In Nigeria by TRVIJN(op): 9:29am On Jan 07, 2013 |
Sokoto state The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) at the weekend said Sokoto State is the poorest state in the country. According to information obtained on NBS website by an online agency, The Citizen Platform, the state has 81.2 per cent poverty rate. The information disclosed that other states on the list include Katsina, 74.5 per cent; Adamawa, 74.2 per cent; Gombe, 74.2 per cent; Jigawa, 74.1 per cent; Plateau, 74.1 per cent; Ebonyi, 73.6 per cent; Bauchi, 73 per cent; Kebbi, 72 per cent and Zamfara, 70.8 per cent. The state with the lowest poverty rate was Niger with 33.8 per cent, followed by Osun with 37.9 per cent and Ondo with 45.7 per cent. Others include Bayelsa State with 47 per cent and Lagos State, 48.6 per cent. The average poverty rate of the states in the North-west geopolitical zone remained the highest at 71.4 per cent followed by North-east 69.1 per cent and North-central, 60.7 per cent. The record showed that poverty was least prevalent in the South-west, with an average of 49.8 per cent, followed by South-south, 55.5 per cent and South-east, 59.5 per cent. To think that some of the 'richest' Nigerians are from some of these states makes me shake my head. |

In my letter, I stated ...'My current employer has assured me of a position of higher responsibilty after my studies and return to Nigeria, However they will not put this in writing' and I got my visa Note: My whole letter was painting the picture of my dreams of taking higher roles within my current organization after school so that sentence wasn't looking so isolated. My uncle (sponsor) is an Executive officer in a Financial Regulatory institution in nigeria and in my letter, I referred to him as my career mentor as well and in his own letter he stated he would get me a job that requires the skills and knowledge I will get from canada. Statement of purpose is the best effort you can put into your application (after prayers ooo) I didn't even know of this wonderful thread before I submitted my application. Don't blab a lot in your SOP, first know what your plans are and then present it in a good way. I am open to assisting with statement of purpose for anyone but I will only help you edit whatever you write initially. mozo: @siga/house, what if all I can get from my office is just a reference letter, cos I knw those people, they won't like to state am coming back in the letter, just that I work there and I should be assisted in anyway possible 2 Likes |

Thanks @siga and @bashtee. Now I know what not to do but what then do you suggest? I would prefer using my own phone and just getting a line cos I would want a good phone but don't want contracts/high bills so early in my stay in Canada so pls what are my options? bashtee: Be careful with that Fido, that is what am using. when i came here since people like Oga siga never dey active here nobody to guide me well,i made a mistake and signed a contract with them now crazy bills that i cant explain keep coming to me everymonth, just go for Wind Network its better for students |

[b]@newacca[/b]I live in abuja, but a friend said these are 2 of the best in Lagos. Synergy professionals in Iporin (synergyprofs@yahoo.com )and Ivy League Associate Ivy League House, 1b Birrel Avenue, Sabo B/Stop off Herbert Macaulay Way, Yaba. @ivyleagueprof on twitter you can contact them for the costs (lectures and books). They will aid you in the registration process but i believe they will mark up the registration fees. My friend recommends Ivy league Also, go to http://www.accaglobal.com/en/qualifications/apply-now.html newacca: Thanks so much for the advice. Could you please recommend a tuition provider for me in 9ja, preferably Lagos. Also,I would be happy if you could inform me of how much this will cost. Thanks so much. |

my man,i will reiterate that i believe you will not be undermining your case if you show some proof of some effort you have made towards your study. Don't give them the idea that your whole study plan has been 'pending' for the duration of your treatment. You can at least register with ACCA, get your registration number and ID card. You don't need to stop your business for this. I strongly believe i know what i'm saying but it's just an advice, the decision is yours. newacca: Bombardment is not really needed unless they request for more dox,as my dox are still with them. So,after d treatment,lets wait to wait have positive news from 'em. I like your dream to pay back to Ogun state,especially in the area of Environment. I also dream of paying back to my people of Ogun and also 9ja, actually to become one of the movers&shakers of the economy |
