My Dear Brethren,

Getting PPR or having your Passport stamped and CoPR at hand is not the end of this Journey.

Frankly, It might just jolly well be the beginning.

Hmm, true. But atleast its a beautiful beginning to the journey

My ogas at the top, I have a (non)question. I was wondering about the Nigeria Police clearance, does it suffice to only upload the page 1, which is the main certificate and leave out the part with the passport and fingerprints on the PR application? Asking just to be certain. my inclination is to use just the page1.
Thanks.

Upload everything

Newmum0615:
xe.com
Some people use oanda.com but I have noticed that the latter uses a lower rate sometimes that can backfire later. I used the former.

Yes I noticed the difference that's why I wanted to confirm from my ogas at the top here

thekingskiddy:
Hi. Personally, I would just put the period as unemployed. It really is not an issue, I think.

Thanks

sweetrie:
Also people should stop quoting long posts ONLY to write "Congrats".

mcstan18:


You can use http://www.xe.com/ or https://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/. They are reliable and well recognized.

Thanks darling

Lol, @mcstan18

Please I have another question again

Which website is best for getting exchange rates? I read on the thread that we should also include a screenshot of the exchange rate of that day and include it in pof documents (or something like that)

mcstan18:


I will report you to CIC. You have something you're hiding abi?

Lol, abeg na

mcstan18:


Why na? Wetin you commit?

that's confidential information between me and my camp commandant q

mcstan18:


So long as you have your 3 years complete sha, we can give the 3 weeks to aunty charity

Lol, I'm not trying to claim points for the 3 weeks, I just don't want to be flagged for misrepresentation if I say I was unemployed for that period and other applications from Nigeria say they had 3 weeks in NYSC camp...

mcstan18:


Yes o. Please reflect it. In fact, you should show the full 1 year and you need to get your PPA to reflect same on the reference letter. Afterall, 'soja' was using the 3 weeks to train you for your PPA work

Lo, PPA will never back date but what I have from them already covers more than 1 year. My issue was wether to lump the 3 weeks under unemployed or separate it and put NYSC camp training.....

GlitteringStar:



Yes ooo, my sister. It will surely end in praise for us all.

Amen, Amen and Amen!!

GlitteringStar:



Lol.

I wasn't happy that I was posted to a school back then too but I appreciate it now because getting my reference letter from the school was so easy.

See how God works

GlitteringStar:



Okay. Nice!

at that time the extension wasn't nice o I cried my eyes out, now see how its helping me

nat138:


Personally I don't think that is necessary. My opinion though. Coming from the premise of; the most important info is your work experience not what you were doing prior to said work experience. IMO

Thanks a lot, you've been very helpful. I guess its just nerves and fear of misrepresentation. I also thought more people on the thread would have had similar experiences.

I'll just lump it in with the unemployed period since technically NYSC didn't employ me

coolangel54:

Did you go back to your PPA to get it? What if the current principal of the school wasn't the one there when you served? I served in a very rural area without light, water and network coverage, that is why I am asking for details of how to get my reference from there.

Going to my PPA wasn't an issue for me. It isn't a school and I was also retained after NYSC and had some rapport with some people still there.

I suggest you find time and go there to get the letter personally (if possible and if you need the experience for points)

nat138:


Where you employed prior to the 3weeks period in question? Are you claiming points for that employment? If yes then put unemployed for the three weeks but if you are not claiming points for it, you could lump it together with the prior employment. Three weeks is just such a negligible time.

My NYSC was my first job, before that it was law school. Currently what I have is Law school, unemployed for some months (including the NYSC camp 3 months) and then my NYSC job experience.

What I want to know is if I should separate the 3 weeks from the unemployed period and state that I was in camp for NYSC.....

GlitteringStar:



How did you count the one year without including the 3 weeks camp period? I used my NYSC work experience too and I included the 3 weeks camp period because without including the camp period, the NYSC work period will be less than one year.

I had NYSC extension for a few months and they also retained me.

nat138:


Ah in that case, you might need to exclude the 3 weeks unless it is possible for you to contact the said employer to backdate. That is so annoying, this is something employers should be doing for NYSC even without being told. If a someone served in your organisation for their entire NYSC period, I don't think three weeks should matter.
If you can't get them to backdate then you might have to forgo the three weeks. But that won't be a full year, whew!

I had a few months NYSC extension and the company also retained me. So in all I worked for almost 2 years. My issue is what to put for that 3 weeks camp period because getting the company to backdate the letter to cover that period is not feasible.

nat138:


Most NYSC reference letters I've seen usually cover the three weeks period so it will be effective eg Nov - Oct/Nov.
If the reference you've gotten covers the period, please you were not unemployed in those three weeks o. After all the govt's contract started with you once you stepped your feet in camp

Lol, mine doesn't include the camp period which is why I'm bothered.

Aig84:

thanks

Ethelia:
hi everyone, I have a question.

So I'm at the final stage of the application where I'm cross checking documents to ensure all the details are correct...

Regarding NYSC, do I need reflect the 3 weeks camp period in the personal history section? Because currently I have listed it as unemployed (I am using my 1year NYSC work period as my work experience and my reference letter clearly mentions I was there under NYSC)

Any response is appreciated

Still waiting... any help please
