Leave all these online shops and head over to the physical shops. That's were the real deals are. I have bought all my Christmas drinks from Spar and Shoprite at prices that I couldn't believe.

Payporte's shop in VI was lit! This is officially my best Black Friday in Nigeria.

The only online shop that made small sense was yudala.

I think it's now 50% from Dec 1st

It's definitely 25%.

Sounds more like she was shading Tiwa Savage.

This list was made for America to feed their hysteria. Iran is a very beautiful country with lovely beaches. Don't rely on American media for information.

mansakhalifa:
IRAN! C'mon,man,Iran has a functioning embassy in Nigeria. Abuja to be precise. So why would you need to head off to the Pak Embassy to get an Iranian Visa? What do you mean by "if you are able to secure an Iranian Visa through the Pakistani Embassy"? I don't understand. Please elucidate.

The list was made for America. They don't have a functioning embassy.

Hello Seniors,

Sent our passports to Accra on 27th October, got delivered on 30th October by DHL.

I haven't heard from Accra and neither seen any update on MyCIC profile. Was it supposed to take this long?

I need the passports for a family trip in December. I hope we would get the passports back before then?

Kindly share your experiences.

Thanks

Mine took 5 weeks to get it returned. 4 weeks to get approved.

You can take out private insurance for the 3 month waiting period. The cheapest I saw was around $400 for a family of 4. Can't even remember the name again.

However, there are a few clinics that take in uninsured immigrants/refugees. Below are some of them. Take note of the hours/days of operation and check the ones that are walk-ins or appointment only.

Also, if you stay in Mississauga or Brampton areas, there is a non-profit organisation called Four Corners. It covers you for 90 days till u get your health coverage. Link below:

One can only pray not to have any serious ish that will require referral to a hospital or use of ambulance. That can set one back by some thousands.

Thanks. I really appreciate this information.

There's no what if oh, i took anti malaria drugs before I left Nigeria, I even traveled with some. If Weather drops by 1 degree, thickness of my clothes increase by 2.

You'll be fine though. Just treat malaria before you come.

How about kids? You can't really predict how their system will react to a new environment especially with the cold.

It's one of three things, the boy was playing truant from school and went back to begging; the mother doesn't really care about the boy's schooling or the Zlatan guy is lying.

Hamiltondreamer:
On your response about the POF saved in FD are you saying the person should not do that? I ask because the best advice when saving for this process is to put the monies either in Tbills or Fixed Deposit so that the money doesn't sit and be collecting dust in your account while your bank takes charges on it.

I hope i dont don't get your statement wrong

My understanding of what he wrote was that there was no need to do FD since the date of submission is close.

Doing an FD is more of an investment decision which has little or no bearing on your application. If it's FD, submit the investment certificate. If it's not, submit your ref letter in CIC format. Bank statement can be included.

Justiyke4u:
Please if you are filling form for ielts, the part that says you may select 5 academic institutions or government agencies you wat your result sent to. What am I supposed to filled there

Don't send to CIC. Send to only yourself.

Ekinado:
Thanks All, I have seen 6500 hotel but 1hr far from ikoyi

1hr is far o. Where did you see this hotel? Jumia travels has some good blackfriday deals.

Since it's Ibadan you are coming from why not leave very early in the morning so that you can meet up with the medical and then do your PCC? Doesn't take the whole day.

Canadianfly:
You can choose to write your ielts in Canada. And my advice is don't start EE until you're halfway or almost done with your studies. Reason is you'll get more points/scores for Canadian study. Your application will be processed faster amongst other things. But you're on the right track. And yes, your 1 year experience is good when you are ready to use it.

CEC and FSW-I is usually processed slower. Just thought to mention that. FSW-O is the fastest.

Abbylee:
Any Environmental professional on this thread about to or already studying or living and working in Canada?

Please I need advise on steps to take while still here in Nigeria and when I land to secure a good paying job; areas where this type job is in demand, whether to go to college or get an Msc or Mba etc

Help a sister

I have a friend like that. She mentioned that she took some safety certifications and has an MSc from UK. She currently works on projects in Alberta. Didn't dig too deep as it wasn't my field.

Bsbabe:
Good morning everyone. Please can experienced ICAN people provide advice? A colleague’s wife evaluated her ICAN (2013) with WES and the result is below-

Canadian Equivalency: 2 years professional study in accounting

Remark: The credential is not comparable to a completed Canadian education credential

Does this remark make this evaluation invalid? Has anyone else evaluated with WES but did not have this additional remark? Or has anyone with this additional remark successfully used the ECA and got PPR?

Would appreciate your help. Thank you.

Did she have any exemptions?

mamacajah:
Hello All, in light of the new policy (see attachment) on withdrawal from Pension funds, hope it will not affect our POF plans?

People should withdraw all voluntary contributions before Dec 1 if they want to use it in Canada. However, this doesn't disturb the 25% of pension withdrawal upon 4 months of ceasing work.

anaxagoras:
please my wife's birth certificate bears Anuoluwa while all her other documents bears Anuoluwapo. She still keeps her maiden name as well. how do i change these errors.

Thanks.

She doesn't need her birth certificate. So use the name on her passport.

moyinoluwa1:
Tnx Ajujuju2 and XX01.

Please is it 7-15 working days or just days for passport submission ?

Also, is it possible to ask for extension for submission due to travel plans ? Please all the gurus I need your input.

I plan to travel soon and fear PPR will arrive just before my travel date. I already have request for eye color and height ADR from LVO. Yet to send the information.

Thank you

It's 15 days. You can mail them for an extension. Someone here has done it before.

TEECANN:
But how can I emphasise my ICAN training over the degree that is not finance related.

ICAN transcript plus certificate and Letter of Good Standing from ICAN (will it still be in order to attach the degree certificate & transcript?- I really want to downplay it)

Everybody, your thoughts will be appreciated. These are just me thinking aloud...

Did you get an ECA for your ICAN?

jovykay:

Please does anyone know if applicants r informed when our companies are contacted for job confirmation.. As my supervisor is currently on leave and might not be able to recieve anything sent to him via official email address.

Not sure. If they contact your supervisor, they will usually copy HR.

TEECANN:
Good day my good people...

I'm bothered but I know there's wisdom in multitude of
Thank you.

You can write a letter of explanation and put this explanation as well as include the degree certificate. Remember to keep the letter short and precise and sign at the end.

Should be no problem.

tempest01:
well I had same points for ielts, Msc, Age, and sibling 15 points.

I could only manage 471. I just wanted to know other factors.


Maybe work experience as i only have 1.

Is it a competition? #Icomeinpeace.

moyinoluwa1:
Congratulations Ajujuju and everyone with PPR.

Pls seniors/gurus, how many days do we have to submit passport to Accra after PPR.

Thanks alot

Between 7 and 15 days. It is usually stated in the PPR mail.

Congrats Ajujuju2 and Yokus. This is the beginning of many things. God bless.

Ekinado:

How will writing with British Council avoid such stories?

jovykay:
