Update on this, Canada has passed a new rule, for you to qualify for any category based draw you must have at least 12-month work-experience in that job within the last 3years. It is no longer 6months.
What if someone is already in the pool with a 6 month experience

Get on the electoral roll. Get your name on your bill(s)(water, gas &/ electricity) if you can. Make use of the overdraft facility on your current account if you have one, if you don't, you can apply for one. Apply for a credit builder card( run an eligibility check first) and lastly give it time. All the best.
Thanks boss, I’m on the electoral roll already, though it was when I was at my old address

Good morning Seniors, please i need some advice

Currently, I only have one bank account, which is Revolut, it is also the account I use to receive my salary and make any expenses, I don't have their physical card yet, I only use the digital card.

(1). I want to open a new account majorly for savings, and maybe building my credit score. Which bank would you suggest I open an account with.

(2). Is it okay to continue using Revolut as my main/salary account, or after opening the new acc, I should use it as my main account.

(3). I'm looking to buy a new iPhone (or refurbished), where is the best place to get a good deal/price. Is back market good?


Thanks bosses
Hi seniors,

So I successfully created a classic account with Lloyds. I used the credit score feature on the app and apparently I don’t have any. I think the issue is from my address.

We recently moved to a new place in June and I’ve updated my address in that effect in most places (school, work,Revolut acc), but my I haven’t changed the address with the electoral register..

I’ll appreciate any guidance to start building one🙏🙏

I plan to move my salary account from Revolut to Lloyds, I don’t earn much as a student, but I can save £300 monthly for now after bills..

My major bills include rent contribution, which I pay directly to my sis acc, then transport, groceries and data subscription (I use lebara), I’m think of doing their 12 months contract @ 22.50/month for unlimited data, since they run on vodaphone network and it cheaper than vodaphone plan… I use the data for my phone and PC, since we don’t have a WiFi at our new house.

I’d appreciate every advice 🙏

Damn, I’m so sorry about your loss, that’s a lot of money. I think you should leave your funds on a stable coin like USDT and observe the market for some time..

If I were in your shoes, I'll open a new account with any of the high street banks( Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds, Barclays etc they are all different variants of the same thing, just pick one) and move my salary there and possibly open another account with a second neobank to complement the Revolut, chase is a good choice for your spendings as it gives a fairly decent cash back and has a linked savings account with an ok interest rate. Generally for savings, go with the one that offers the highest interest rate.

ABOUT MY FLIGHT
Egyptair didn't allow me to board till I got a yellow fever vaccine card.

If anyone plans to book Egypt air from Nigeria, make you have that card.

Also during our stop in Cairo, we waited for about 4 hours before were taken to the hotel paid for by the airline. Some Egypt air staff even told us no accommodation for us till we started opening eyes for them.
Hi boss, please how can I get the yellow fever card and the cost. I'm flying with Egypt air next week. Thanks

Create a CV showing you have experience for the role. Apply on Indeed.

Please is there a way I can see available dates to book for biometrics, I'm still awaiting my CAS, but I should get it possibly by 5th January. And I hope to pay and apply for my visa by 6th. But I want to know the possible biometric date I will get, so I can prepare my mind and my travel plans.

Hi everyone, I got a conditional offer, and I'm currently doing a Pre-CAS with the uni in other to get my CAS.

One of the requirements is to prove my finances.
Thing is I finished Nysc in June, 2023. And currently, I mostly freelance, so I don't have any valid employment letter/reference right now. My POF is mainly coming from contributions from family.

So, I choosed self employed.
But they still asked me to upload an employment reference which should be on company letterhead
Includes details of the self-employment including nature of the work and salary.

What should I do in this case?
