Nice one!

Warm greetings! FIRSTLY: as per those acting as the VOs, thank u for the SOS(save our soul) responses! But please, always back your advice up with 'facts and figures' so that some pple wn't get confused and deceived after all. SECONDLY(AN ADVICE TO THE EARLY APPLICANTS): if u think that ur app docs are worthy of submission/approval, apply. This is bcause a particular doc may be ready now and may not at a later time(examples; SOAs, sponsorshp docs etc). FACTS: 1. Sept.TRV has been approved. 2. A friend of mine has to wait until nxt yr for his sponsor's SOA to get back to life. I stand to be corrected, though. Shalom!

Arcayo:
Quick one guys, has anyone Google him/herself lately to see what he or she will see?
What am after is that the VOs can go as far as checking these and what will pop up is your social media accounts, facebook, LinkedIn, etc if you are on social media mind what you write if you are not good for you.
PS..just my reasoning not a confirmed information

It is likely/possible. I became concious of this when I was applying for an offer at a Boston Uni. US...when they requested for my FB ID and/or Twiter handle even as an applicant... I 'sharperly' changed my fb name after writin the previous one. Your point is worthy of note!

@ victordebels a friend of mine was positive to hepatitis yet he got his trv.hep doesn't automatically lead to refusals. Besides they are more focus on tb, hiv, syphilis
So chill, don't worry much

Thanks bro! I'll pass this info across to her.

I am very happy to be part of this family! Thumbs up to you all... Please I have a question, a friend of mine is very much concerned regarding her health challenge( positive to HEPATITIS VIRUS dx). She is currently on medications and worried if it could affect the result of her medicals. Ps: she is yet to apply for a TRV. @thesoj, justwise, other guruz...

Hello house! Am still weighing options considering the cost and benefit. 2 years Diploma versus 1 year certificate. Which one pay? I intend to work and be residence in canada after study. I learn that am entitled to 1 year work permit after the certificate program while it is 2 to 3 years work permit after a 2 years diploma program. Can I still renew or extend my work permit after expiry of my work permit?

Well, it solely depends on ur profile. BTW, do u already have a Diploma or BSc. certificate? Anyways, if u must go for 1yr cert., u can comfortably apply for another 1yr cert/dipl over there to get ur 3yrs PGWP. Show ur profile so that the huz can advise u accordingly. Regards!

I think that he was indirectly blaming the current economic status of the country. But what deduced from that is that he's one of the lazy and greedy folkz.

0816005420* (I didn't include the last digit). I missed a call from this number this morning. This was our conversation when I returned the call: ME: good morning, pls who is on the line? MAN: have u deleted my number(he was shouting at me and I felt somehow at 1st for losing his no.)? ME: I'm sorry, my phone had a little problem. Pls, can u remind me who u're? MAN: oya, guess. ME: I'm sorry, I can't! MAN: just try, if u're wrong, I'll correct u. ME: OK. Is it Bro Chima?(I didn't even knw the name) MAN: yes, u're right! Where are u now(at this point I realised what I was faced up and against but, I decided to hold on to decode his intention)? ME: Anambra state(no exact location but he was good with it). MAN: I'm coming to Anambra now. But our car had an accident and blood is everywhere. ME: eiyaa, sorry o. I hope u're not hurt? MAN: I'm injured and don't worry about the airtime, I'll balance u when we see. I want u to send me a recharge card(MTN 750). ME: ok. I'll call u back when I buy it. MAN: No! No! Don't hang up. Just go and buy it and call the pin for me. ME: pls, I dn't have enough airtime now besides, I cn't be answering a call while crossing the road. MAN: pls dnt hang up because I'm ontop of a mountain now to get a service on my phone. U may not get me again when u call back because service is bad here. ME: (I decided to come out clean and clear at this point) Oga, I dn't want to make use of vulgar words on u. But pls, I advise u, go and get urself a job. Stop this thing u're doing, it won't help u at all. MAN: (he cuts in) shot up, are u mad? Who are u giving advice to? What do u know? Go and advise BUHARI, go and advise BUHARI...

Bandeco:

Omo wetin u dey yarn sef. Do you know meaning of myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure?

If one should have congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction that person is near death/unconscious . Na ambulance and stretcher them go carry the person enter the hospital.

ECG is a medical technology use to ascertain if there are underlying heart conditions that can lead to myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and sudden death.

Honestly, I doubt you read the post to the finish including the one that necesitatd the clarification. Nonetheless, there are unique investigations prescribed for certain ill-health just to rule out the provisional diagnosis made at d 1st contact with a patient. The unique test like ECG is usually prescribed especially when a patient's health status (heart problem) deteriorates. PS: In my previous post, (1) I differenciatd chest X-ray from ECG to correct the guy who wrote that the two wer d same. (2) I mentiond that ECG might not be ordered by CIC except for those traveling for a medical problem. Finally, try to understand contextual clues b4 finalizin... I hope u didn't BROWSE AND PASTE here? Thank u for comin by. I REST MY CASE ON THIS MATA!

mtngloetiartel:
pls what does medicals entails? Where can i do d medicals? Also, can i earn back the money i invested for schooling one year after graduation and work oversea?

The answers to your question 1 and 2 can be found in this part9, just few pages away from this. To your question 3, 'earning back' your money shouldn't be a problem for you at the moment. Anyways, I heard it's possible and it should be when you must have gotten your 'green card'. Sorry, I can't help you with facts and figures'!

Ethan45:


EGC? Ive not heard of anything like dat perhaps you mean ECG or EKG test(electrocardiogram)-the recording of the electrical activity of your heart. Yes its included in your chest xray test and i know everyone did it(very important).
D medical pass mail depends on hw fast the clinic mails your result to IRCC. The duration is nt certain,it cn be a day-after for some people and take all eternity for others.

Chest X-ray is a test done 'specifically' for Tuberclosis(TB) diagnosis. While ECG as you rightly described is a test done to diagnose certain heart problems/diseases like 'myocardial infarction, congestive cardiac failure', to mention but a few. NB: these tests are unique and have 'different test machines'. Regarding the CIC medical call, they 'might' not order for ECG because it's usually precribed for critical cases which shouldn't have warranted the said applicant to apply at the the 1st place unless, going for a medical treatment. Hope this adds?

..to my friends who were delayed, God knows about your struggles and He'll continue to guide you untill the day it's done. He loves you more than you know when He says that His thoughts for you are of good and not evil to give you a better end. Know this, WHEN GOD ANSWERS YOUR PRAYER, HE'S INCREASING YOUR FAITH...WHEN HE DELAYS YOUR PRAYER, HE'S INCREASING YOUR PATIENCE...WHEN HE DENIES YOUR PRAYER, HE HAS SOMETHING BETTER FOR YOU. Please, do not be discouraged but trust in Him because He cannot fail you. But if you must quit, 'RECONSIDER why you started it at first'. May the Grace of God be sufficient for you as you strive to making your dreams a reality in Jesus name, AMEN! Good and sweet dreams...

thesoj:
You are welcome.

@prayer, if it worked every hardworking poor but pious Nigerian would be rich already. But we can agree to disagree. Read about confirmation bias.

Edited: My intent is not to bash religion/prayer, my intent is to communicate that preparing an intelligent and compelling application is the best way to considerably reduce denial risk. Prayer, I suppose, can be a complementary tool for psychological encouragement and calm. But what do I know!?

Copied!

@thesoj, I totally disagree with you that prayer has no effect(referin it as a placebo). If it doesn't work for you, at least, it works for a greater number of us. Nonetheless, my unreserved gratitude still goes to you and every other person who have contributed enormously for the growth and purpose of this thread, may God reward u all!

I am a certified gender equality crusader. That is, a crusader against gender discrimination/stereotype. Women are mostly affected by this as regards sex violence, poor girl-child enducation/women empowerment, to metion but a few. So far in my work to addressing this discrepancy, I've come to discover that sociocultural impacts on our women's mindsets have deterred the progress of this journey worldwide. Now, our women and girls depend solely on their male partners for survival. They build castles in the air to brought into reality by their male partners. Our women and girls, how long are you going to be dependent and to what end, are you getting married or walking into that relationship to become a burden to your patner, are you still believing in what your parents taught you 'that marriage was ur highest achievement?' Please, stand up and build the world of you own! Women are precious and we'll always stand by you as long as you have a vision that'll drive your mission. FELLOW MEN, LET'S SUPPORT WOMEN IN OUR LOCALS, HELP THEM GROW AND NEVER INFRINGE ON THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS! #TheWorld4Her

Back in the days, I wanted to be like the pple I see on the TV screen. In short, I wanted to be popular. Today, I have books in my name and founded a non-govtal., non-profit healthcare org and lots more. Honestly, I thank God for the far that He has lead me by making my dreams and imaginations come true.

At some points in our lives, making someone to realise that s/he offended us forms part of our religious duties. That is, we are being taught to walk up to our offenders and make them realise that what they did and/ or said to us got us angry thereby eliminating grudges in our hearts. As for me, I have entirely different view... THERE ARE FOUR(4) MAJOR REASONS WHY WE SHOULD FORGIVE OUR OFFENDERS 'STRAIGHT AWAY' WITHOUT GOING TO THEM TO DEMAND FOR AN APOLOGY. They are: (1) Going to tell them may worsen the situation at hand. How would you feel when you walk up to your offender to demand for an apology and s/he says, 'Is it because of that thing, wait for more, I have not even started.' To him or her, s/he did and/ or said the right thing initially which cancelled the need for you to come to him/her. Your 2nd name may be 'sorry' when you go to judge them. Pride/ego may cloud their good sense of understanding at that moment because s/he wouldn't like to be the 'culprit'. ..4give straight away! (2). It shows people your weakness thereby making you vulnerable. You could easily be turned off and on. For instance, in a gathering, s/he already knows what to do for you to take your leave especially when certain things(food,money,gifts) will be shared among those present. People fear those who talk less. (3). It gives you rest of mind when you are not thinking about what s/he did and the best way to tell them that. (4). You may now add yours. Please, share but don't copy. Regards!
