She's been trying with her USD Dom account Visa card but it's still no going through. Same card she used to pay for her fees. Would she need to have extra money in her account?

The payment options are: credit card, PayPal or voucher. Nothing for local payment like when I paid for mine.

How much is the cost of the flight and how much is on her card. She needs to add some $50 difference at least

Congratulations!!! Please which resources did you use to prepare
Everything I could possibly lay my hands on. From Cambridge to IELTSLiz, IELTSJay, IELTS Essential, IELTS Online, and a lot of YouTube videos for speaking. Instead of using the sample task 2 write-ups from these sites, I just copied the question and pasted on chatGPT. I did that with over 25 sample task 2 questions. It helped me to understand how to build up the body of my essay and argue for or against an opinion.

I got my COPR and counterfoil yesterday. I had submitted my passport to the Lagos VFS on the 21st of March and got pickup email on the 25th of April. Passport and COPR were both processed in Accra (Lagos automatically sends there at no extra cost for now cos they don’t have stamps). For those who may be planning to use either Lagos or Accra, you can shorten your timeline (if pressed for time) by using DHL. I say this because my counterfoil was generated since the 14th (same issue date for COPR) but it still took a while for Accra to send back to Lagos.

Has anyone gotten PTA recently from their bank? The only bank I have the minimum of 6 months banking history with is Stanbic and their limit has been reduced to $2k which is painful. I applied for PTA this morning and I still put $4k as the amount I need. I’ll see how it goes. A bit of a mischievous question: can we apply for PTA at multiple banks? Would one bank know if another bank has approved your PTA application? My husband has two main bank accounts with 2 banks and I was thinking he should apply with both.

i don't think PR qualifies for PTA anymore, return ticket is required. The PTA is via CBN portal not the banks, they have your BVN so you cant game them. pele

Hello nairalanders!

My team is currently designing an EdTech Platform that would facilitate licensing and employment processes for Foreign health professionals in Canada.

Could you fill out the survey and also share with some medical doctors or any health professionals you know in or in the process of relocating to Canada? 🙏🏼 We would like to know the challenges faced during these processes.

Category 1
For those who have completed their Canada licensing process, please fill out this 4-min survey.
https://forms.gle/BefehytViM3em1G1A

Category 2
For those who are yet to start or are currently in the Canada licensing process, please fill out this 4-min survey.
https://forms.gle/B25DFCyUtGKKeq1n8

Your perspective would be valuable in helping us gain insights into these issues and ultimately inform our design & development process to help YOU!

Thank you so much.

Congrats.. Can't wait to hear your landing gist.
GTBank was also reduced to $2k, with the fact you need to add a return ticket I almost find it not worth it anymore tbh.

Oh, I probably wasn’t clear. The CBN portal requires that you upload both your return ticket and valid visa. I don’t have PR status till I do my first landing so it’s just the valid visa for countries where visa is required (along with tickets). The reason I asked about multiple applications is because some banks like GTB are notorious for not giving PTA to all applicants (likely high demand) while people have had better chances with others like Access Bank. Just wondering if we should be casting our nets wide.

Ohh really. I think FCMB still has a $4k limit. It seems a number of banks are gradually reducing their limits though but CBN portal still allows you to input $4k. Thankfully, we have return tickets so fingers crossed that we get approved.

You should definitely take advantage of the $2k if you can. I bought CAD this week from some black market dealers in Canada (Nigerians) and I bought in two batches at N560 and N562. I was just hissing like Naira is so useless.

The CBN limit is still 4k, bank are only reducing to 2k to manage demand. You can apply with 2 different banks but must have a return ticket.

The round trip itself costs 2k though.
But since one can apply every 90 days I think it's worth trying.
I bought CAD at 590, seems your plug is better if you can help me with their contact I'll appreciate cheesy

If this is for study visa, you’re better off on the Canadian study visa thread. The time before they see your web form depends on the visa office and officer treating your file.
