That kangaroo ruling by the SC.. has nothing to celebrate about.
These APC rogues pulling the strings... know exactly what they are doing. The end justifies the means.

But, whether the APC likes it or not, Waziri will be on the ballot come 2027.

You're smart. I marvel at those celebrating and gloating. The APC knows exactly what it is doing...

oliverjiad:
from 2014 down no be up o

With this information, what's the cost of clearing a 2015 Kia Optima? Shipping line is Sallaum. Na compromise money I get like this o. Hmmmn

oliverjiad:
yes there's increasment on the duty but mere difference of like 200k and for now they're working on vehicles from 2014 downwards while 2015 upwards to 2022 are come value and 2023 till date paar

Please explain to me better. Is the 200k increase affecting cars from 2015 to 2022 only or it is across board?

Also, does it affect full duty only or it includes compromise as well?

Thank you

oliverjiad:
sir,ma

That works fob doesn't have any layman understand rather than the FG/customs just implemented this for now generate revenue but customs makes it worse bcus it's %4 to replace 7%,I wonder why the all charges are still playing

As it stands customs is our problem

Can you please confirm if there has been an increase in custom payment for goods? If yes, does it affect compromise rates for cars below 2016? I am getting conflicting information that there is no increase yet. Thank you

providencia:
Good morning jaid. Please explain the new custom 4% fob in layman terms & What will change when it is implemented

The implementation of the 4% FOB is meant to reduce the cost of clearing goods, rather than increase it. Stakeholders in the customs area have applauded the proposed implementation. I am surprised this is leading to an increase.

(3) 2017 Ford Focus
(4) 2015 Ford Explorer

I will prefer quotes for full and compromise.

Thanks for all you do

yanjoo64:
Good morning jaid,


Are all the above price for compromised or actual cost?

Is this price still valid? How about compromise?

oliverjiad:
no dangers on it

The vehicle can't be impounded because it's having duty,ur vehicle can be impounded based on ur rapour with them,u just need to be rude when stopped and comply to what ever ure been told do,which they can't tell u to go cut ur head off,even if u do full duty customs this days would still demand because the form clearing vehicle is based on one tactics which 846,so they'll believe it's still compromise

Like I said ur rapour matters when stopped to let u go

Thank you. How much to clear Pontiac vibe 2006? Compromise biko

Jaid, can you please explain the dangers of compromise clearing? Can the vehicle be impounded once it is on the road? The difference between full and compromise is high biko

Testimonytime:
Long post alert
Testimonytime

What God cannot do does not exit.

My Canadian dream started at the lowest point of my life, January 7th 2016. I watched with the greatest pain I ever experienced when the doctor brought out my full term stillbirth baby in Methodist Hospital Houston Texas, USA. I knew there and then that I can do nothing without Jesus and surrendered completely to Him at my lowest ebb. I changed my moniker from Twingirls to Testimonytime ( Twingirl is still on Nairaland land, though I am not using it again).

Fast forward to when answered my prayers and I wanted to travel again for the birth, my visa application hang and I meant hung in the air.

After several failed attempt at express entry, due largely to age, I resolved to student visa, I refused to give up.

Submitted my first application on 21st February and got refusal on 18th March on lieing about previous refusal, personal asset and financial status and employment situation.

Reapplied 16th April
Medical passed 30th April
Requested gcms June 21st, came back blank 21st July
Eligibility started 22nd July
Reapplied for gcms 23rd July, came back with recommended interview 13th September
Eligibility went back yesterday to “we will tell you when we start reviewing your application”
PPR – 4th November

I give all glory to God, He made this possible
I appreciate Justmellow who wrote my LOE and even in my state of dejection, I knew he did an extraordinary work on my LOE, he advised me further on steps for the reapplication and followed up all the way.
Keji, an angel I met on nairaland, who proof read my SOP, compiled all my documents into pdf and resize ( working tirelessly even at midnights)
Lekiboboe who advised me to go for pgd in Culinary management Selkirk College BC instead of CNA diploma
Frankrobn who encouraged me to re- fire and not loose hope
Annon123, Ayokaq, Akoko123 and others who assisted in one way or another either by suggesting relevant documents or supporting me through the trying six and half months of waiting. I am 43 years old, I changed career from law to culinary practice. Sponsor was my husband and God came through for me. I have no doubt He did it all, PPR is God’s miracle. Men ought to pray and not faint, I prayed my ppr into existence and did the best I could on the document submitted.

Finally. This is so good to hear. Congratulations madam

Davidbanky:
Will try one more for January

That's the spirit. Sorry about the refusal. It is only a delay. MAPLE LAND is for those that are resolute and willing...

OctGsam:
God finally did for me. I learnt a lot from this platform including when I was putting my applications together.
First Time Applicant. Master program and 11+ years study gap. I ensured the master’s program is in line with what I do. #Silent – the master program I am going for, I already have the same certificate in Nigeria

Congratulations. If I may ask, what is the difference between your SOP and Letter of Explanation? What is the content of each?

Kindly clarify.
Thank you

She is gonna cry

So sorry to hear this bro. I was really looking forward to you testifying. Do not be weary. It is only a delay. Re- fire!

Madeincanada:
She has MSc in what program? Let me share my experience. I have BSc in Sociology, MSc in international business and Management and I received an offer to study another MSc in Employment Relations. I’m also an auditor in a financial institution. All these were stated in my study visa application. I wrote a convincing letter that as an auditor, I audit HR department and needed to hone my skills in that area. I also made sure my LinkedIn profile reflects ‘HR auditor’ should in case … I received PPR last week.

Thanks for your response. Msc Policy Analysis

makano:
Hello Zocken

It depends on how you wanna go about this...

1. Some hide their previous Msc and just make use of their Bsc to apply for their Visa application with a Msc LOA and get their Visa... But with this, you will have to remain silent on your previous MSc all through your stay in Canada to avoid misinterpretation later in the future i.e when applying for PR and also Citizenship cos Canada keep records of the details of all applicants from the very 1st time you apply for your study permit Visa or any kinda IRCC visa..

2. Some declare their previous Msc and apply for their Visa application with a new Msc LOA and get their Visa.. But with this, you must be more than ready and capable to convince the Visa officer on why you are going for another Msc and not PHD which is a higher degree.. You can do this with a strong and convincing SOP and LOE...

Peace

Thanks Makano.

Lekiboboe:
Yes It is possible under the condition you have Work Experience related to Hospitality Management

Please attend to my questions

Bobomaigida:
I will advise her to go for the master's, but she needs to provide a strong SOP to explain why she is going for another master's, there is no point hiding the first masters. Some people have gotten visa whilst going for a second masters.
All the best

Thanks
@ Lekiboboe, @Makano and others, your thoughts?

Zocken:
Good morning guys. Please help sharw your thoughts on this. For someone who has Bsc Accounting, is it advisable to study PDG Accounting (2 yrs) or Master of Management (1 yr)? She has Msc, but has decided to be silent on that. Also, she has work experience of over 10 years as an Auditor, but the pay is less than 80k (government job). She is into property business and event planning. Candid views please

Answers please

I didn't really do much, it was all done by our consultant. Omo yesterday my mom and I even went to buy dollar because of the present exchange rate and I also changed the pounds I had with me to order my gcms notes (My mom didn't want me to order for it because she thought that was why my first one was refused ). All this was just yesterday. Man I'm still surprised.

I will be sending my passport for stamping on Monday Insha Allah.

Congratulations

Hello eclint

2 million as a Sponsor? or I didn't get what you talking about?

That money is too small to have as a sponsor considering other relevant factors..

That amount cant even cover your school fees, not to talk of other expenses..

Having 2 million as an aplicant that has a sponsor is good to go, but not the Sponsor.. So please work on that..

Peace

Boss, please check your mail.

Okenwa12:
Its not everyone that has the luxury to keep track of information shared here. Hence I suggested we have a group. Just a personal opinion dear.

Why not share whatever information available here for the benefits of the larger community? If others had groups, would this platform be this rich? People like you are selfish. Group arrangements are not encouraged here biko

Zocken:
Guys, please help me. How best can I address this situation?
One is the issue of lump sum. I gave 10m (in 3 tranches) to someone for business for over 4 months. He is paying tl pay back now and I want to use it to support my wife's visa application. How can I prove it?

The 2nd issue is her occupation/ experience vis a vis her proposed course of study. She has BSc Accounting(2008), Msc Policy Analysis(2016). She is also ANAN Chartered (2017). She's got admission for PDG Accounting(College ;2 years) and Master of Organizational Management (University;1yr). We have a company (fully registered) which we use for general contract (she's the highest share holder) and also works as an Auditor with a Federal Government agency for over 10 years, albeit with a salary of less than 100k. Her current account balance is about 4m with reasonable inflow and outflow for the last 3 months.

Now to my worries;

(1) Which course is best for her considering her work experience, study gap, salary and financial situation?
(2) I want her to be self sponsored and I want the 10m paid into her account. 5m has already been paid into the company account. How do we explain this lump sum payment considering that the company hardly does any contract (the last major payment into the account was 27m in 2014)?

People of God, please share your thoughts. I believe we are all here to help one another....

Waiting for suggestions from the gurus please. Na beg I dey...

I did na,let me check for it to quote

We are waiting for your quotes please. You people should please give back. Sharing timelines and useful information shouldn't be hard to do at all. Afterall, you already have your PPR. People want to take, but not ready to give. Na wah o.

makano:
Hello House.....

Now to the reason for my post this morning, and this goes to the applicants that have gotten their PPR of recent and not come back to share their timeline.. I consider this action selfish and unpleasant.. Before you all got your PPR, you came here daily to get information on how to get your application approved by either asking questions or reading silently... Now you got your PPR, you feel you do not need the thread again, this is not so good behavior...

Sharing your timeline helps this thread a lot....

Peace

MAKANO

Right. Please tell them.....

Enjay316:
well,Lianna and others have answered u.But the ppr recipients we are getting this days are stingy ooo.Most are silent readers who just take and take and take.only comment wen u need info or help.
most neither share their time lines again nor documents submitted and it's not too good.its a give and take relationship.There are some ppl here that can learn a thing or two from ur success stories. some will come and say "I will send my timeline later" but after getting the info they need, will just disappear.
it is well ooo
let's not b stingy with our success story.
Congrats to all that got ppr.its really raining ppr this month of September

You are spot on. Please PPR recipients, do well to give back by sharing your timeliness and other useful information. This is what makes this thread tick. I beg all of you. Some of us are yet to even apply, but gathering information for a successful application. Na beg I dey. Make una help us biko

ForevaTT:
Hi,

Since the 1st of April 2021, I've been a silent reader on Nairaland. I learned about web-forms, e-mailing MPs (which I did), and even the official email address to contact for updates using this platform.

My application was approved this morning after nearly 5 months of checking my e-mail every day and sending multiple web-forms. God takes all the glory on this one.

I have a Bsc. in Computer Technology from BU but applied for an Advanced Diploma Business Admin course at Seneca College and my application was approved. It happens to be a three year course btw! This means it's very possible to apply for a diploma even with a Bsc.
My mother is my sponsor and note this, i supplied a fixed deposit investment from a reputable Microfinance bank (alongside an access bank statement of account). 95% of the monies were with the MFB. I also supplied my company bank statement with SCB.

I also supplied the following :
1. Lease agreement i had secured with a student residence on campus.
2. SOP written by me (edited by God ) , explaining my career path and study purpose. As a footwear designer, i included a catalogue of my designs, CAC documents and also attached my CV.
3. Sponsorship letter from my mum narrating my business achievements and why she chose to support me further.

Overall, I believe God's favor was at work here because I've seen many more qualified people be turned down! What God cannot do does not exist!

Keep praising God in anticipation, you are next !

Congratulations. Like you said, it is not about how "perfect" the application is, but by the grace of God Almighty. Do your part as best as you can, then leave the rest to God and trust Him absolutely...
