ChriGo: @rilley2000 its not really easy typing that much words without getting any reply...was thinking my ogas wit all ur questions at once go don respond to u...cant answer all ur qestion cuz sum ar very specific buh would answer the general one's u asked.....1. Since u submited tru Vfs u do not have problem with the return envelop...vfs global is a courier authorised by cdhc to send and recieve visa applicantions..so either u use return envelop or not u would still get ur package sent to vfs should d need be, u'r nt wrong on this.......2. For the differer, its wat sum peeps go tru so u'r not the 1st to experience it...u can go to embassy and update ur docx with the new admision letter.....3. Dats specific to uni of sask applicant so dont av an idea to dat questn buh u can contact shadams...he will put u tru...just send him a pm..u should be able to find his post on the page b4 dis....hope dis helps
thanks @chrigo

I got the First bank Visa gold card . I tried not to use it all the while because of the charges but I had to today.I think there's a way you can put the money in your bank account and get a card that won't charge u much instead of the nigerian card .I must say Royal bank is a good bank.well I enjoyed their service especially when other banks were telling me I had to book an appointment before they can open an account for me.
So I just got my bearing yesterday after 5days in canada.it's been nice and kinda rough too but now that I have a place ,Bravo!....I can't even believe people eat all the junks I've seen in this place.I've been drinking water and ate little bread like twice.may be with time,I will be able to eat them.so far,Butty for naija,local babe for canada.The food wey I cook this night ehn.choi!!!,e no get part 2.Never smiled cos of food in my entire life.
I didn't have any problem with immigration.when my mum was packing the food in my box,I objected but now I'm happy I brought them.They will finish sha but before that time,I go don dey try for stuffs here.
Great day pple and all the best to all trv awaitees.

.....Yes but the game is different with a masters degree holder....They can apply for PR with or without job offer...buh as for college applicant there are two ways...either u get a good job offer from ontario province to apply for ur PR or you get ur 3yrs work permit firstly and then between 2-3yrs of ur work life u will auto get ur PR....so its still win-win but the later is kinda slow compare to d 1st.....

rilly2000: good evening to all nairalanders

1). I submitted my application at the vfs office in ikeja on 7th July, but, i was told not to add the return courier envelope when submitting.. but that one aside...........
the koko na say, since that July 7th, i haven't heard anything from them...
hope i'm still good or something is wrong


2). the resumption date stated on the admission letter i submitted is 5th of September, but they wrote it boldly there that IF YOU CANT MEET UP THE SEPTEMBER RESUMPTION, CONSIDER THIS LETTER AS YOUR OFFICIAL ADMISSION LETTER FOR JANUARY RESUMPTION ALSO. So, i called the school sometimes last week to help me defer my admission till January, and they've replied with a deferment letter.
so guys, will i have to go to Lagos to show them this letter or i'm still good



2). all University of Saskatchewan students in the house.... i applied for the school residence space on 12 June, and since then, whenever i check my residence portal, i do see 'application pending' on the application tab... and since then, i haven't heard anything from them
so, i checked the application sometimes last week to check for any changes...., unfortunately, i didn't see the 'application pending' again....
so guys, is it that i will have to make a new application or my previous application is still pending

A quick response to this 3 questions will be appreciated.



Hello boss, as regards Usask. My understanding is that there are still a number of residence options. I suspect some applications were cancelled while some students got alternatives. You should be able to get one. Just send in another application, or send then an enquiry. Uche is already on ground. He should help with more specifics. Best wishes, brother.

@ All,

Greetings o. I hail all my ogas at the tops. Like to confirm if anyone has traveled aboard Egyptair in the last one week. I am traveling via Cairo to Toronto, and I like to know the security status of that end. I have called a representative of theirs in Lagos, but I thought I could use the first-hand testimonies of folks who know about Cairo.

Many thanks.

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by smile13: 7:36am On Sep 07, 2013
In fact, it's really been nice. After checking through almost all banks' cash machines around campus, they all have charges ranging from about $1.5CAD to $2CAD but I discovered that TD Canada Trust does not take this fee. You only have the basic N420 GTBank fee and the exchange rate made so much sense. This is actually contrary to my past experience in the UK.
GboyegaD:

My brother, I'm truly enjoying it. No charges whatsoever and I think the exchange rate is the global exchange rate. In the past few days, it exchange at about N158.64/1CAD$ and 1CAD$/0.9497US$. The fee on ATM transaction is N420 and between CAD$1.6 and CAD$1.75 depending on whose terminal you are withdrawing from, while my US bank charges US$5. In essence, I can tell that the Naira Debit MasterCard is excellent and works on all terminals since most of their terminals here are chip and pin oriented.
Re: Travelling To Canada Part 4 by smile13: 8:04am On Sep 07, 2013
Wao! Was really a pleasure meeting with @GboyegaD. No doubt a scholar of note & an extremely intelligent fellow, even though I could only assess these for the very short while we met. @Nuendo & @Dictalpha are my brothers here in Calgary we've been relating since the week (even back in 9ja) & I count myself enormously blessed to have these very intelligent & good people in the circle of my acquaintances.

@all: God's blessings on everyone. Cheers.

[size=16pt]Thanks guys for your response. I was wondering why the CDHC didn't just send me the instruction like the medicals instead of asking to visit VAC for payment instruction? Just thinking, guys. Cuz I have to fly all the way to Lagos.[/size]
