Hmmmmn. Let me breath in first. It's being a wow ride!

My ogas Goodly1 Wisdom7400 dee1504 and everyone that might learn one thing or the other.

My story is going to be in 2 parts

Part 1(BRP):
So after my CoS was issued, my solicitor (hired directly by my employer) contacted me to provide my documents; tuberculosis, PCC, statement of account as maintenance wasn't ticked, NIN, passport page, IELTS but I told her I'll prefer ECCTIS. She however advised that ECCTIS would cost me more but strong head didn't allow me hear word because I didn't want to write IELTS yet again after wasting my first IELTS result of LRWS(8.5,8.5,7,8 ) running after Canadian immigration

So I forwarded my proficiency letter, my transcripts and my certificate to naric paid for 10 days evaluation at 140 pounds or thereabouts (don't know the exact amount as my big sis over there paid for me).

Strong head is a bad shaid. Now, on my university, my middle/other name was misspelled (added an 'h' as their ancestors whispered to them) but the h didn't affect the pronunciation of my name.

After submitting for naric, I started feeling uneasy that that misspelled name will kobalise me. Told my sis and she said we should wait to hear from them.

Long story short o, they replied on the 5th day that my name don't match and my transcripts wasn't legible enough. Na so I jumped up ooo; I dash dem the 140. Off to IELTS.

Booked IELTS the following the for a date about 3 or 4 days away. I whipped out my Barron's IELTS textbooks and refreshed for about a day cos I was so busy with work.

On the day of the exam, the speaking dragged nonsense with me but I dragged it too Listening too wanted to do somehow but I went with God sha. I wasn't really feeling myself as I felt I didn't do well when I got home due to inadequate prep.

To the Glory of God, I got LRWS 7,8.5,6.5,7. And with that IELTS was ready.

Unto the next hurdle, my funds has been in money market since June last year so for some reasons (asked questions, even asked my solicitor) I went ahead with the statement of account of my mutual funds with stanbic.

Long story short we put forward the applications on 24th March,
Biometrics: 04/04
I wasn't at ease all through because of the SOA
Additional documents mail 13/04 requesting for a SOA for my funds in a regular bank account (savings or current) for 28 days or a letter of maintenance from my employer that they could maintain me if need be for the first month Upto 1270£.

I had 10 working days to respond so the first option was out of it because withdrawing the money from mutual funds to my account would spoil my 28 days waka.

My sister later informed me that Naric refunded 130£ to her and held onto 10£ as admin charges. I was so happy. Money wey I think Don waka.

So I messaged my employer and the letter of maintenance was written and submitted by my solicitor on 17/04. Then another wait began...

At last BRP mail came 23/04
Collection mail 25/04
Passport picked up 27/04

Watch out for Part 2 My tales from EGYPTAIR

Goodly1:

Joomie, wiara u ooo!😮 U're keeping the house in suspense okwaya?🙄
Oya, come & give us update on ur Egypt Air travel and BRP story as u promised, fast fast!😀😃

Boss, your baby geh is loyal ooo.
My head bin dey spin but I'm starting to get my self. Let me start typing 😂😂😂

Goodly1:

I'm particularly interested in knowing the outcome of this Egyptian journey!😅
I hope village people won't send another 'shege' to come & sit you down on the plane and deal with you!😂🤣
Have a safe journey!✈️

Thank you 😊😊😊. I pray it's devoid of drama ooo😁😁😁.

Wisdom7400:

Egypt? From abuja I guess? Be ready for long layover at Cairo. They will lodge u guys at a hotel in cairo maybe Le passage or any other. You might be paired in the rooms or not. Shine ur eyes to collect evidence to prove they are holding ur passport. You might miss ur flight if ur not smart enough to identify people u flew with and walk with them. Its not worth it. Their inflight meal is something else lol. They will give u guys one Aba earphone like that and you will definitely throw it away when disembarking. Abeg find another airline jare.

Thanks boss. Already booked Egypt Air before your review came in cause we needed to be prudent with fares. It is well with us 😁 laidis. Thanks sir. I'll give everyone full gist when we land.

dee1504:


When I was trying to book my flight last year, I did my research on Egypt Air from reviews on Nairaland but the reviews were not pleasant. However, I cannot say if they are better now but be rest assured that a lot of people fly Egypt Air daily.

My recommendation: If you cannot afford Direct flights (BA and VA), I would greatly recommend Turkish Airways and Qatar Airways. Your UK visa is enough requirements to fly. If you can get a Schengen Transit visa, go for Lufthansa, KLM or Air France. If you cannot afford any of these, try Air Maroc, RwandAir or Ethiopian Airlines. Consider Egypt Air as a last resort. #MyOpinion

I hope this helps

Thank you so much. I had already booked Egypt Air before getting your review. I told my cousin whom we are travelling together about and he was like we will take anything we get like that while praying to get there safely. It is well with us. I appreciate your response. I'll also send my review too.

Hello oga sirs and bosses mas. Please is Egypt Air good to fly with?

I'm not so new on this page. Been following and learning quietly. I'll also share my visa and brp testimony so people can learn a thing or 2 (I've been too 'excited' to put all my words together) but please share your sincere thoughts about Egypt Air. É dakun

Cashmadam:


No, you don't need a letter. I usually just ask for my statement of account. It's something you can get easily. Just use it like your savings or current account statement of account. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much sis. I'm super grateful

Cashmadam:


I save in mutual funds and use my statement for visa application. It is okay to use it. You can mention it in the section for additional information.

Thanks for your response as it also applies to me. I'll like to ask, do I need to get a back up letter from the financial institution in charge of the mutual funds, Stanbic IBTC Bank as is my case?

Lezy:
You can pay with dollar card.

Thank you. We've paid

Good evening everyone. I'm new here and it's my first post.

I want to pay for application fees for my family of 4. The total is 570 CAD.

I hold a Stanbic card and it's being declined. Please can someone explain how best to go about it

Adeime:
I’m still awaiting my report though The date of birth on my transcript is wrong while WAEC has the correct one and other documents.....I hope the report does not comment on my transcripts date of birth though

It is well. I think that affidavit stuff is what I'll consider now. Please can we connect?

princekins:


Just do an affidavit....a 'NOTE' is a query or something they want to be given attention/notice to, which in this case they intend the IRCC officials to be aware of.

I just gave my one kobo opinion, not a guru here though.

it is well with me oo. Thanks bro

Thanks for the prompt responses.
@princekins I believe it is a mistake on the part of WAEC. The one and only date of birth I have is 16/12/1991. That's what is on my birth certificate, University transcript and my international passport.

@johnnybravo1990 I submitted my WAEC to Wes and it was sent by courier to Canada.

@funshobabs why not. I'm worried. Please our Daddies and mummies in this journey, help your Pickin oooo

Please I need answers

Joomie:
Hello family. This is my first time of posting and I'll appreciate responses.
My original DOB is Dec 16 1991. On my WAEC, it's 1990.
On my degree transcript, I have 1991

I just did my ECA with WES and in the report, WES gave my date of birth as 1991 but put a note that WAEC gave date of birth as 1990.
What do I do please? Will this affect me?

SharonTheodora:
Please how do you get the letter of attestation. Can it be done at yaba too?

Hello, I don't know about that cos I didn't use it since mine is ssce may/june

The affidavit costs a total of #650. You hen you get to sabo court, walk into any of the business centers around. Give them your details, they have the template. The affidavit will be printed for #150. Then proceed to the court building. At the main entrance, the cashier room is to your left; take note of it but that's not the first point big call. Take the stairway by your right to the 1st floor. The office of the Commissioner for Oaths is on the left, walk in and give her your affidavit with your passport attached cos she's going to sign accross it. After signing, go back to the cashier room. You will be issued a receipt of #250 but they will collect #500.
Take it back to the Commissioner for Oaths who will sign again. After that, you will be asked to make photocopies of your affidavit and receipt which will be submitted at the office of the Commissioner for Oaths.
Don't be swindled. Best if luck.

Hello sabi mamas,
Can colic start after 8 weeks. I don't understand my DS. He suddenly became cranky yesterday evening crying unusually. He's a calm boy, as long as he's fed and full, he doesn't disturb. He cues and smiles. But all of a sudden he started crying. Wouldn't want to be lifted off the shoulder. Sounds like he's groaning/pushing from the inside. At first I thought he wanted to pop cos he pops like twice in a week. And he had bn having poo stained diaper.
Then he pooed twice but little quantity each time. The quantity of the two poops didn't add up to one bowel movements he usually does.
Could this be colic? This is my second child. My first started with signs of colic even before a week. What do i do. I'm fagged out. Help a confused mom.

Hello mamas in the house.
So i have a pack of underlay that i want to give out. I actually wanted to give it out as a whole but the nurse requested for a sheet during my boy's circumcision. So i had to open the pack.
Now i have four sheets of underlay for any expectant mum who TRULY NEEDS IT and can pick it up from my house. I stay at Abesan Estate Ipaja Lagos.
