smile13: I guess one might still need to. Don't forget the dollar mastercard you're talking about is denominated in US dollars and currency in Canada is the Canadian dollar. The same 'very bad' conversion rate will still be used. Also, the Naira mastercard also gets accepted in virtually any payment points displaying the mastercard logo, though I don't know about Canada but sure for some European countries. I'm at a loss as to how to get some cash with me to Canada pending when one will open a bank account . With your debit/credit card, you can withdraw money from any ATM all over the world. No need to carry cash around. |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Chatters(f): 10:52pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
BizBloke: Yes Canadian dollar and US dollar are different. But you have d advantage with US dollar because it is an international currency accepted almost anywhere. Again the US dollars have a higher value than Canadian dollars. That means you won't notice the conversion rates much. The problem is not really with the conversion rates per say as you will be charged the current value of the currency you are withdrawing. The problem is with the bank charges and visa/MasterCard charge you incur as a result of using your card outside Nigeria (for naira MasterCard)or using your credit card outside the US( for visa credit card). By and large the charges are not that much. I think visa charges you less than 2% of the transaction worth. Which is not much if you come to think of it. |

kunle-akogun:Canada is one of the best countries to learn a trade such as plumbing, welding and so on.the job opportunities for tradesperson(journeyman) is ever increasing and the know-how and technology deployed is outstanding. The problem is trades/technical courses takes a long time to break into due to its practicality and for this reason int'l students are at a disadvantage. From the little research I have done the foreign students studying technical courses in canadian colleges came into canada through one of the workers skilled program (which is an option u can try) and they enroll into college to update their skills. |

Chatters: Hey!! I disagree..0.01 na sumtin o. CAD get more weight. The last time I checked, 1usd=0.99cad. |

yung_sage100:... U have a valid point but not necessarily correct about foreign Students studying technical courses are workers that came in through the skilled worker program.... I can tell u that we had one Nairalander last year that came in with a Student Visa to study Welding.... he is schooling in Ontario here but I cant remember the school... if I search my emails I may be able to pick him out.... if I do I will let u guys know...infact he got his visa with his sponsor's acct less than N3m... I was shocked.... |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by nasjay: 11:10pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
dommakavelli: no, USD get more weight. 1 US Dollar equals 1.03 Canadian Dollar |

Chatters: Bros abeg no vex o, I dn't mean it that way o. N I tink we re here to learn. Well, Am just trying to tell you that CAD has more value than USD. This is not about charges. It's d int'l conversion rate. Abeg, am sorry, I won't make further corrections/comments on ur post. |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by Chatters(f): 11:20pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
dommakavelli: Abeg no vex. Just trying to correct an impression. Sorry u got it all wrong. Anyway. Canadian dollar no get weight pass us dollar. Last time I checked 1 USD =1.03 CAD. Again, 1 USD = 159 naira. 1 CAD = 152naira. Use your online currency converter. I no be your bros o! If you call me sis, I go accept. |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by dommakavelli: 11:21pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
nas-jay: Kk bro, well conversions are not stable figures...just like I said. "The last time I checked" |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by kjbobo: 11:24pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
@ Nuendo For the record...I will like to clear the misconception I had..you were right on the "France story"..As I thought that they were saying samples were sent to France for interpretation(which I found difficult to believe). ...but what was being said was that results (e-medicals) were usually sent to France from all the approved clinics across the globe... That's the Central collation point then decentralized to respective embassies. So you were correct. For the records friends. .the next time you call clinic for your results and they tell you its been sent (they are saying sent to France not Embassy). 1 Like |
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by dommakavelli: 11:33pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
kjbobo: @ Nuendo If I understand you well, Do you mean they send test results to france not samples for test? |

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by kjbobo: 11:41pm On Aug 19, 2013 |
dommakavelli:Yea...samples are interpreted in their respective countries and results sent. ..but the e-medical software is centralized for collation in France and sent to respective clinics. In a nutshell, no hospital has a direct link with CDHC. .but with France. .then France (which I believe is a Med centre) has the direct access! And as we have been able to observe, seems as if guys that went through the online route get notification in their account when their results are sent to the embassy(another positive for online) as we observed in Aduke02's case, she said she did medicals July 11 and got notification in her account on 25th that her meds has been sent (exactly two weeks).I stand to be corrected, dont think vfs route gives this notification! Dommakavelli. .u clear now? |

@nas-jay, @dommakavelli, @Chatters, you guys are all very correct. The USD/CAD pair is very close & very dynamic. It swings both ways within a 48hour period sometimes. You have to be both lucky and smart to take advantage of the prevailing rate. 2 Likes |
